After so many years, Luo Xue’s mory of the castle remains vivid. In such a mysterious place, a group of children of varying ages desperately fought to earn a rank, for only by obtaining a rank could they increase their chances of acquiring a Divine Relic.
Once they had a rank, their treatnt would change completely. After obtaining a rank, one had to desperately improve their ranking. Everyone who went there had a clear purpose, and was risking their lives. Apart from completing Secret Castle’s training, the internal strife was fierce, as life and death did not concern Secret Castle, because there would be a continuous influx of people scrambling to be sent there.
Luo Xue fought through several rounds to earn a rank and successfully obtained a Holy Relic. She believes Li Xin must have done the sa.
Without matching value, there is no existence value. Luo Xue was lucky to obtain a precious Divine Relic, making her cultivation much more effective and giving her family a significant advantage to continue their legacy.
Li Xin’s assistance during the test was really important to her at the ti, so she rembers it deeply, especially since now he is closely related to the Grand Wind Discipline Officer, who is famous for justice, making him a trustworthy person!
Li Xin never thought Luo Xue imagined so much. His predecessor’s mories are missing, and his mories from previous lifetis are fragnted. He woke up in the castle, unaware that the kids who ca were all voluntary, and even paid, initially thinking they were all kidnapped.
After all, that eerie place seed to be conducting various experints, with a substantial portion lacking humanity, resembling a cult from start to finish.
Was it rely for distributing Divine Relics? Doing good?
So unserious...
He certainly didn’t believe it, but he could discern from Luo Xue’s tone, at least in one respect. If Secret Castle only appeared once every fifty years, he would be less concerned.
Seeing Li Xin silent, Luo Xue spoke softly, "I was chosen as well through secret channels by my family. There are many Awakened, and good Divine Relics are incredibly precious, almost invaluable. Even for the royal family and noble direct lines, acquiring high-grade Divine Relics is difficult, not to ntion soul compatibility involved, making it even harder for others. In the early stages of Spiritual Ability growth, the gap might not be evident, but over ti, with or without Divine Relics, the difference becos clear."
Certainly, Divine Relics bear many risk factors, but compared to greater potential, more people are willing to take risks.
Li Xin looked at Luo Xue, "What exactly is Secret Castle?"
"Nobody knows precisely, but it has existed for thousands of years. We only know that they periodically appear to select outstanding young people to grant Divine Relics, perhaps for a purpose, but for the participants, it’s undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful," Luo Xue said with a smile, "Li Xin, it’s great to see you again!"
Li Xin spread his hands, "I didn’t feel that way before."
"You’re a man, don’t be so petty. I checked your profile; you wasted too much of these years, with such strength, I can only say Secret Castle produces quality items." Luo Xue laughed, "Black Rose needs you, together we can definitely restore Celestial Capital Canon Law School’s glory!"
Upon seeing Li Xin, she imdiately gathered all his information, including his relationships with Night Patrol. These six years Li Xin spent idly in Underground City made people sigh, but fortunately, his foundation was good, and the recent probing made her feel he almost certainly possessed Secret Peeping Eye, a decent starting point.
"Restore? Is our Canon Law School weak now?" Li Xin beca spirited, sensing the task relevance, given Luo Jin ntioned Canon Law School was also worrying.
"The predecessor of Canon Law School was Knight Spiritual Ability Academy. When Grand Governor was alive, Hex-Tech was a major indicator for the Canon Law School, accounting for half, but now things have changed, and the Upper House has reverted to previous Knight Academy’s standards, gradually shifting Hex-Tech into philosophy and arts, which is extrely unfavorable for us, who focus on Hex-Tech. This includes being sent to Secret Castle for this purpose. The level of Canon Law School will directly determine Celestial Capital’s positioning." Luo Xue explained, as the president of Celestial Capital Black Rose, this was her responsibility.
"I’m just one person, hard to support alone. From what I know, other Canon Law Schools also have our peers, probably more. Fundantally, Celestial Capital is indeed not as strong as other places."
Li Xin fell silent for a mont. Celestial Capital is a rising power, a cradle of Hex-Tech, representing traditional forces like Divine Relics and secrets which need ti to accumulate, being sowhat lacking in this aspect.
Previously, Luthor utilized Hex-Tech to change social order and rules, but after Luthor’s death, the order regressed to a certain degree. Celestial Capital’s emphasis on Hex-Tech raised its status significantly, so its fall would be most severe. Li Xin vaguely sensed another hidden purpose behind it, but he couldn’t quite see it yet.
"I’m also a mber of Black Rose. I can’t handle major issues, but I can cope with small matters," Li Xin took a sip of coffee, mainly not to add responsibilities without pay, "I’ve heard the Church’s donations decreased because Moon God’s faith greatly declined. Is the Canon Law School infiltrated by Cults?"
"Cult?" Being Secret Castle peers, Luo Xue had no qualms in front of Li Xin, "This is the Canon Law School; it shouldn’t be. It might be the result of freedom of faith, unlike Moon God’s Court’s strictness, Hundred Martial Hall is now more popular."
Luo Xue herself is a follower of Moon God, as is her family.
Li Xin didn’t know how he beca Grand Wind Discipline Officer Luo Jin’s nephew. Luo Jin was the captain of Night Patrol of Moon God’s Court, aning Li Xin was definitely on Moon God’s side.
Li Xin thought about it, the possibility was high. For Abyssal Worms attempting to find hosts here, it was simply courting death, even if there were so many Spiritual Awakened and potential Ability Users; discovery would be easy.
In other words, the weakening faith within Canon Law School likely results from Moon God’s Court being too ineffective, unable to maintain its territory without Grand Governor’s promotion of power. Over the years, he understood the personality of people from Lulong—endless civil wars throughout history; despite unification and growth, people from Lulong inherently embraced a strong culture. Comparatively, Martial God’s situation aligned better with internal demands.
Yet for Luthor at the ti, the wealthy Moon God’s Court was undoubtedly a better choice among fresh ruins needing not battle fervor but unity and mutual watch.
What offers the best unity effect? Certainly money.
The era advances, thoughts shift, but Moon God has been kind to herself, and Li Xin is acceptable too, not to ntion involving Luo Jin.
Old Luo brought him here; the so-called task was largely incidental, providing a plausible reason to move him from Night Patrol to Canon Law School.
Indeed cunning, alas, the convenient uncle and imaginary aunt, along with Aunt Fei, changed his view of the world, calming him down. Frankly, after enduring tornt back then, he harbored thoughts of intensive revenge against this world for a long ti.
"Li Xin, with our collaboration, we can definitely uphold Celestial Capital Black Rose," Luo Xue said.
"I don’t have such high confidence," Li Xin replied, "You trust excessively; I’ve squandered these years. Let’s plan carefully."
Luo Xue chuckled helplessly, shaking her head, "These years I’ve t so of our people, each now challenging the sky, the ground, and the air, aspiring to be the next Luthor. You’re truly... unique."
"Being ek can be said straightforwardly, relying on President to cover in the future," Li Xin smiled, knowing life would be easier with acquaintances ahead.
