Eternal life begins with saving my clan

In the early morning, the atmosphere in Willow City was tense.

The streets were quiet, and stores and various buildings had their doors shut.

Everyone peered out from the edge of their windows while sending text messages to each other through their Spirit Comms.

The sudden appearance of the Blood Whisperers took everyone by surprise.

Moreover, the battle had been raging throughout the night.

This had never happened before. Previously, when the Blood Whisperers appeared, they came, killed, and disappeared like phantoms.

Furthermore, the Celestial Heavenly Sect soldiers were almost invincible in their hearts.

But now, these two formidable opponents had been at each other's throats throughout the night.

Just as everyone was wondering about the outcome of the battle, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the still atmosphere.

Everyone peeping from the corners of their windows held their breath and looked in the direction of the heavy footsteps.

In a clean formation, the Celestial Heavenly Sect soldiers marched back to their branch hall.

Looking at them, covered in blood with their armors broken and their exhausted expressions, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

It was then they heard a loud voice filled with pride.

"Business can resume. We've dealt with the Blood Whisperers, and if anyone sees or hears about them again, please don't hesitate to notify us," the elite captain said.

"Also, the city is under a heavy curfew from 6 to 6," he added before departing with his men.

With this news, the people breathed a sigh of relief, and the news quickly spread throughout the Barren Land.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, as Willow City was breathing a sigh of relief, Southern Jade City and Northern Orchid City were under a fresh attack by the Blood Whisperers.

Inside the Huang Manor, Huang Yin had an unsightly expression on her face.

Even though the Blood Whisperers didn't attack their clan, they attacked one of the strongest clans in the city.

However, since everyone was on guard for their sudden attack, the Celestial Heavenly Sect soldiers arrived and contained the Blood Whisperers.

Even with that, the battle was not easy.

Buildings were destroyed, and unfortunate mortals were killed.

It took three hours of continuous battle before they could finally kill the Blood Whisperers.

It was then the people saw why the Blood Whisperers were giving the soldiers a hard time.

When the soldiers killed a Blood Whisperer, it turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Shortly, they would rematerialize again, brimming with strength.

They had to kill them multiple times before they stopped from coming back to life.

With three main cities under attack in the span of one day, the peaceful illusion was shattered. Everyone realized they were not safe after all.

It was then they realized that if there were no Celestial Heavenly Sect soldiers protecting them, perhaps they would all have been killed.

Therefore, the prestige of the sect in the hearts of the people rose to another level.

They showered praise and prayed for the Celestial Heavenly Sect soldiers.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the power of faith was invoked.

A streak of golden light flashed over the Barren Land, the heavens recognizing the people's will and faith.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of thunder echoed in the bright morning sun. A cloud of purple mist covered the whole of the Barren Land.

"What's going on?" Su Yen muttered with a slight frown on his face.

He had been in a bad mood since the reappearance of the Blood Whisperers, and now this.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard the system notification in his head.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, the will of the people has birthed the power of faith.]

'Power of faith!' He thought with knitted brows.

'What is the power of faith?'

[This comes from the belief and trust of people toward a person, people, or thing.

The Barren Landers had utmost trust in the Celestial Heavenly Sect in saving them from all their problems, giving birth to their faith in the sect.]

The system explained at length.

'Now, I understand.' He nodded.

'Then, what is this purple mist?'

[Faith Blessing]

Immediately, his cultivation began to increase, and it broke into the 6th stage of the Foundation Building realm.

Everyone in the Barren Land had their talents increase, and their cultivation skyrocketed.

Those who hadn't cultivated previously had their cultivation shot to the Peak of the Early Body Building realm stage 3.

As for those who had cultivated, their cultivation increased by five to six stages, while some broke through to the Qi Refinement realm.

In short, the Barren Land was transformed into a cultivation ground. On top of the Barren Land was an illusory nine-level pagoda.

Looking at the colossal ancient pagoda, all the mortals went on their knees and bowed in worship.

The ancient pagoda pulsated, and a black light shot out of its body, covering the land.

Shortly, the illusory pagoda disappeared, and the purple mist cleared. Shocked and crying, everyone echoed in every corner of the Barren Land, joy filled their heart.

Today would become a legend for the people of the Barren Land, the day of the Pagoda.

As for Su Yen, he received more than anyone else. A series of information streamed into his mind.

Under the effect of the pagoda, his sword soul increased to the next level, while his sword aura broke to level 3.

Apart from that, his bloodline had changed, having a sealing power.

"Who would have expected the pagoda to turn out like this..." He shook his head with a pleasant smile.

He could feel his connection with the pagoda in the ancestral mountain.

Even though he wanted to explore his newfound abilities, he knew he had a lot of things to do.

Inside the main hall, Su Yen could see the smiles on the faces of the elders, but he didn't have the time to dwell on it.

"Release my command, every family must have a black nine-level pagoda in their home and pray to it every day."

The elders didn't utter a word, as their faces were full of seriousness. They knew these changes to their cultivation were related to the pagoda.

"Also, each Barren Land must create the pagoda at the center of their city. It must be the tallest thing in each Barren Land."
