Chapter 393: Promotion to His Highness
"Nie Fei, according to the rules of my temple, since you have passed the hundred heavenly barriers, then you can directly become the highness of my temple and enjoy the supreme rights and status, I now formally ask you, are you willing to join my temple?" The hall master put away his smile and asked with a serious face.
"I would like to ask, are there any obligations I have to take on when I join the temple?" Nie Fei asked unhurriedly.
"The temple has been standing in the Eastern Continent for tens of thousands of years, and during this period, it has never participated in the disputes in the world, and all the temple personnel are dedicated to the Tao, and they are working hard to cultivate with the goal of ascending to the immortal realm, so there is actually no obligation to join my temple." The hall lord talked eloquently.
"However, the land of the Eastern Continent is our home after all, and once a dangerous homeland situation occurs on the continent, we temple members must shoulder the responsibility of defending our homeland!" The hall master said righteously.
Hearing this, Nie Fei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be in awe of the old man in front of him, if he can have such great feelings, he must be a virtuous and respected sage!
"I'm willing to join the temple." Nie Fei didn't think much about it, and directly agreed to join the temple.
There have not been a few disasters in the Eastern Continent in the past 10,000 years, so this responsibility to defend the homeland can be said to be a blank check, in other words, even if there is a disaster in the Eastern Continent, and there are still tall people on top of the sky falling, where is the turn of Nie Fei, a junior, to worry?
"Okay! From this day forward, you are the Fifth Highness of my temple! The hall lord smiled kindly.
Shrimp? Your Highness Five? Four more people became the Highness of the Temple before him? The sense of superiority in Nie Fei's heart at this moment is gone, it seems that there are still many geniuses in this temple whose talents are not below him!
Next, the hall master personally led Nie Fei to a quiet palace, and announced that this palace was where Nie Fei would live in the future, and at the same time he handed Nie Fei an identity jade plate, and left quietly after a few words.
That's it? How does it feel like playing at home? Nie Fei couldn't cry or laugh as he held the identity jade plate, but when he probed his divine sense into the jade card, he gradually unveiled the mysterious veil of the temple......
The hierarchy of the temple is very strict, and below the hall master are the four elders, and below the elders are the nine protectors, and at the bottom are the members of various identities such as the highness, the deacon, and the holy son.
Generally speaking, His Highness's identity can be on an equal footing with the Dharma Protector, and even slightly more than the Dharma Protector, because His Highness is an elite cultivated by the Temple, and as long as his cultivation strength reaches the Tribulation Period, he can be automatically promoted to an Elder!
However, the Dharma Protectors cannot be promoted to become elders, they can only be subservient to the elders for the rest of their lives, but whether it is an elder or a Dharma protector, their status is not so important in their eyes at all, the important thing is to work hard to cultivate and strive to ascend as soon as possible!
On the contrary, after becoming an elder, the responsibilities on their shoulders have also increased a lot, which will delay their cultivation a little, so many temple members are reluctant to compete for these positions.
However, the identity of His Royal Highness has been targeted by many holy sons and daughters, the reason is very simple, under the full cultivation of the temple, His Highness can become a dragon even if he is a worm!
And what are the benefits of becoming Your Highness? First of all, all the places in the temple will be open to His Highness, including the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, the Martial Arts Room, the Comprehension Room, the Minor Room, etc., and even some magical places that Nie Fei has never seen before, all of which are of great help to the monks!
Secondly, the palace where His Highness lives is the best place to cultivate, except for the hall master and the four elders! Because in this palace, a high-level spirit gathering array was arranged, and the spiritual energy in the hall was far stronger than other places!
Again, His Highness could feel free to ask the Hall Master and the Four Elders any questions about cultivation, that is to say, the Hall Master and the Four Elders had become His Highness's personal teachers.
Finally, every Highness can invite members of the temple below the elder to become their own guests, which means that they can form a gang at will and set up their own mountain!
Seeing this, Nie Fei couldn't help but be stunned, wouldn't the establishment of this rule in the temple cause conflicts and disputes between all His Highnesses? Did they do it on purpose? Deliberately stir up a fight between His Highnesses so that they can grow quickly?
When Nie Fei stared at the door rules and then looked down, he finally realized that this highness was really not easy to do!
Every five years, the temple will set a test, and His Highness will need to lead a team to complete the test, and finally the ranking will be determined according to the degree of completion of the test.
Highnesses with high rankings will receive rich rewards, while highnesses with low rankings, needless to say, know that they will be pitiful, to Nie Fei's surprise, there is only less than a year left before the next Highness Qualifying Competition!
However, Nie Fei didn't care much about this kind of competition, first, his cultivation path was different from others, even if he didn't get rich cultivation resources, he could quickly increase his cultivation; Second, through the identity jade card, Nie Fei knew that the top four highnesses, the lowest strength was the cultivation of the late stage of distraction, he was a rookie in the first-layer realm of the merger period, what to fight with them?
The most important thing is that Nie Fei entered the temple not to compete for cultivation resources, but to find clues about the Soul Clan, so Nie Fei really didn't take this highness qualifying seriously!
Just after Nie Fei read all the information in the identity jade plate, he couldn't wait to walk towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Temple, he had a strong premonition in his heart, there must be something he was looking for......
Just as Nie Fei rushed to the Scripture Pavilion of the Temple, there was a burst of conversation in the main hall of the Temple.
"Humph! This stinky boy, how dare you hurt me like this? Perverted? IQ worries? Is that the stuff I got out that vulnerable? The beautiful woman scolded angrily and amusefully.
"Elder Xiao, this kid is just straightforward, why do you bother with him?" The white-clothed elder laughed.
"Yes, this kid can think of a way to crack it in such a short time, it's not easy to brain!" The black-clothed elder also chimed in.
"I think what this kid said is right, Elder Xiao, you really need to improve this thing." The gray-clothed elder touched his chin and groaned.
"Even you think I'm an unsightly thing?" The beautiful woman's eyes widened, obviously very unhappy.
"Oops! Who says your stuff is dead? It just needs to be improved a little more, and a little more improvement will be perfect! The gray-clothed elder seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly rounded up.
"Haha, the Great Elder of my temple will also be deflated? The old man has opened his eyes today! The figure of the hall master also appeared in the hall at this time.
It turned out that this beautiful woman turned out to be the Great Elder of the Temple, and if Nie Fei was present, I don't know what kind of expression she would show......
