813 Setting Ou

When Li Yunmu thought of power of belief existing in the music instruments, Liu Bailing's jade pipa came to his mind. It could raise her strength from initial stage sage flux expert to god level, providing an effect similar to the treasure used by Ming Xiu to increase his cultivation. All methods which could amplify a person's strength were extremely rare.

All the methods to temporarily increase strength which Li Yunmu had seen previously also had aftereffects once used.

"Oh, tell me, how can using power of belief can increase your strength for a short time?" Li Yunmu asked while looking at Yunfeng with a gaze full of interest.

Upon seeing that Li Yunmu was interested, Yunfeng recovered her previous contempt and her face betrayed her pride.

"Ever since the power of belief appeared, it has always been used in Lanlou. Even after the first battle between gods, it was used in secret in Lanlou. But once True God disappeared, our gods they did it openly.

"There are two methods to use the power of belief. The first is to infuse some weapon with the power of belief. As long as you can circulate the power of belief in the weapon with your energy and use it as your own, it will greatly amplify your strength.

"Naturally, this boost in strength is short term. The merit of using this method is, however, that it doesn't leave any residual aftereffects.

"Another method is to gather the power of belief directly in your body to increase your strength permanently. This makes it look like a different method, but in truth, you are still borrowing power."

Li Yunmu then spoke while still thinking about what he had heard. "The power of belief gathered in the music weapon, when used to increase your strength, can be considered as borrowed power. But gathering the power of belief in your own body, how can that be considered as borrowing power?"

Yunfeng smiled, looking dazzling under the sunlight. Her crimson lips moved slightly and she slowly said, "Although the increase in strength provided by gathering the power of belief in your body is eternal, once it is used, it will create a connection with the mortals.

"If the mortals remain happy, then everything will be good and there won't be any harm. But if the mortals stop believing in you, the strength raised by the power of belief will decrease greatly and may even harm your original cultivation.

"Therefore, in Lanlou, mortals are used to throw dirty water on one's enemies. Only when the mortals begin to reject their old godn can a new god enter the scene."

After saying that, Yunfeng saw that Li Yunmu was lost in thought, and she lowered her head to size him up. The gaze of the blushing Liu Bailing was also fixed on him.

At this time, Li Yunmu who was pondering over Yunfeng's words, suddenly gained enlightenment.

It was clear to him why the True God wanted to destroy this power of belief. The system didn't care about whether the mortals lived peacefully or were ruined and orphaned. Instead, it was concerned about the flaws of the power of belief.

Although power of belief was good in concept, it had a fatal weakness which could not be removed. It could act both as a reward and a restraint. Once the power of belief was used, it created an eternal connection with mortals which could not be severed. This connection would then influence the strength of gods for all time.

This was one of the reasons. The other one was that power of belief led to battles between gods.

"This musical instrument containing power of belief could raise Liu Bailing's strength from initial stage sage flux expert to god. Then you all who are already gods should be able to raise your strength to ancient god realm after using the power of belief."

Li Yunmu's attention returned to reality, and he looked at the holy daughters. "But when I attacked just a moment ago, I didn't sense the presence of any ancient god."

Yunfeng's complexion turned red, and she said with some embarrassment, "Lakshmi City doesn't borrow power of belief to cultivate so its control over mortals is also not very strict and thus the amount of power of belief collected is also the lowest compared to the other six cities.

"Although we can use the musical instruments to increase our strength… Younger Sister Liu Bailing's cultivation is very low, only at the initial stage of sage flux expert realm, so the amount of power of belief required to raise her strength to god level is also very low. If we want to reach the ancient god realm, that can only be done through gathering power of belief in our bodies."

Li Yunmu nodded, his conjunction turned out to be right. If the power of belief could really increase the strength of twelve holy daughter to ancient god level so easily, Lakshmi City's strength would not be the lowest.

"Since everything is explained, I will tell you my plan. Right now, the body and other soul parts of Ancient God Lakshmi are in Asura's hands. If we want to obtain them, we will have to kill Asura. But given the present strength of Ancient God Lakshmi as well as Lakshmi City, it is almost impossible to do.

"So we can only borrow strength from others. The other five gods don't know that Asura has invaded Lakshmi City. You all also know the regulations of Lanlou, that the seven ancient gods will manage their own regions and will never interfere or invade another's territory.

"Since Asura broke this regulation, you all must let the other five ancient gods recuperating in the divine palace learn about this matter. Additionally, you must do so while avoiding letting the other five ancient gods find out about Ancient God Lakshmi's situation, and for that, you must gather all of Lakshmi City's power of belief in one weapon."

Yunfeng nodded at first, but when she heard the final sentence, she frowned slightly.

"Lord ancient god, can you tell us why must all the power of belief be gathered in one weapon? If we do this, then the strength of our twelve holy daughters will decrease."

"Our final aim is to use the alliance of the five ancient gods to deal with Asura. If we don't have a certain amount of strength, the five ancient gods will first deal with Lakshmi City. Naturally, this weapon in which the power of belief is gathered won't be used by you, but only Liu Bailing."

After Li Yunmu finished speaking, he looked at the group of holy daughters.

When Liu Bailing heard his words, her eyes went wide, and an indescribable expression appeared on her face.

Yunfeng's brows also creased slightly, but they smoothed out the next instant, and she said with a smile, "Lord is intelligent. So we will now take younger sister Liu Bailing and Pipa clansmen to Lakshmi City to prepare for everything."

"As for the matter of spreading and forming an alliance to deal with Asura, I will leave it up to you as well. I will follow Chen Xiu and return to Asura City, then see if I can find an opportunity to kill Asura and rescue the children of Pipa Clan."

While speaking, Li Yunmu looked at Liu Bailing. She also looked at him, her face turning redder by the moment and her heart growing restless. After his speech, she picked up the jade pipa lying on the table and followed the holy daughters out.

Before long, loud clamor came from outside. The noise was soon followed by the sound of something breaking, and then the village turned silent.

Chen Xiu looked at the heavenly daughters leaving with the Pipa clansmen, then turned around and entered the wooden room.

"Master, the Pipa clansmen have left with the holy daughters. What should we do now?"

Li Yunmu looked at Chen Xiu, then his body changed into black mist. It flew outside at a fast speed and entered the shadows on the ground, disappearing completely.

"Naturally, we must go to Asura City."
