Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1925: A New Look, A New Beginning for 2024

Wen Gaoren’s words certainly unraveled the doubts lingering in her heart. Previously, she had fought fiercely against Mo Jiu and Zhan Yuan, even twice employing the Destruction Sword Dao. Both her meridians and energy sea, along with her divine sense, suffered severe damage, and it was the Life Ancient Tree that aided her recovery. The benefits she received were, of course, much greater, especially since the Life Ancient Tree left a seed within her heart meridian, taking root and becoming part of her meridians.

Her strength suddenly broke through to the Seventh Rank Divine Heart Priest, making it completely understandable.

"In that case, Senior Sister An should also gain a considerable advantage from the Life Ancient Tree." Sikong Qinglan remarked curiously, glancing at An Xiaxin.

Knowing that An Xiaxin had exerted all her strength to safeguard the Huayu Temple, she was also supposed to reap significant benefits from the Life Ancient Tree.

"Me?" An Xiaxin hadn’t considered this issue before, but prompted by Sikong Qinglan, she hurriedly concentrated inner vision, and soon a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Master Wen, could you help me set up an array? I’d like to test my strength." An Xiaxin suppressed her excitement and spoke to Wen Gaoren.

Soon, Wen Gaoren once again arranged the array, and as soon as An Xiaxin entered the array, she quickly performed the hand formation.

An Xiaxin took a deep breath and slowly walked out. She clearly wasn’t as relaxed and carefree as Mu Hanyan, her steps were as heavy as if filled with lead, and she soon broke into a sweat on her forehead. Every step seemed to exhaust all her strength, but when the array’s phantom lights blossomed, her heavy steps finally moved beyond the array.

"First Rank Divine Heart Priest, I’ve broken through, I’ve broken through!" An Xiaxin staggered and nearly fell but her face was filled with tears of excitement and joy.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister An." Sikong Qinglan and Shen Yuhe quickly caught An Xiaxin, equally excited in expression.

Not everyone is as successful as Mu Hanyan. To the vast majority of priests on the Divine Continent, the bottlenecks between Divine Priest and Divine Heart Priest are like a chasm. Even their masters, including former main priests and dual priests, broke through this bottleneck only after the age of seventy. An Xiaxin, at just over twenty, became a Divine Heart Priest, and they genuinely felt delighted for her.

They were envious of An Xiaxin’s achievement, but without a hint of jealousy, as it was well-deserved.

"I seem to have made some breakthrough too," Ye Yi’an hesitantly said.

After all, it had been centuries since he last experienced a breakthrough, and suddenly noticing a surge in strength made him unsure.

"Lord Ye, are you serious?" Mu Hanyan looked at Ye Yi’an with pleasant surprise.

Without Mu Hanyan needing to speak, Wen Gaoren set up the array again.

Seven and a half minutes later, the light talisman in the array suddenly flickered, and Ye Yi’an appeared beyond the array.

At this moment, Ye Yi’an became so ecstatic he couldn’t speak. He had broken through, advancing from Ninth Rank Divine Priest to First Rank Divine Heart Priest. While for the young Shen Yuhe this was merely a cultivation enhancement, for him it meant extending his lifespan by several hundred years, reshaping his meridians and energy sea for further potential, making the dream of returning to his homeland in his lifetime no longer unreachable.

Watching Ye Yi’an tremble with excitement, Mu Hanyan’s eyes too sparkled with tears of joy.

The joy brought by the enhancement of Ye Yi’an’s cultivation was not less than the birth of those thousand priests, because he was not only her mentor and friend, but her family on the Divine Continent before finding Ye Lanfeng and others, her only family. Without the Life Ancient Tree, she would have been willing to sacrifice her lifespan to preserve his life.

"Right, Master Priest, with your current cultivation, you can proceed to the Life God Temple for training." Shen Yuhe reminded, though there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Back then, when their masters, including An Xiaxin’s, advanced to Divine Heart Priests, they were also qualified to head to the Life God Temple for training. Yet, partly due to old age and partly out of reluctance to let go of Huayu Temple, they stayed behind.

Mu Hanyan was both young and extraordinarily talented; going to the Life God Temple would greatly ease future cultivation efforts. However, going to the Life God Temple means renouncing the position of Huayu Temple’s Chief Priest. Although Huayu Temple had come to today after much hardship, even having endured a catastrophe, rebuilding would not be challenging with the Life Ancient Tree present. She couldn’t bear to have Mu Hanyan leave at such a crucial moment.

"Let’s discuss it in a few days." Mu Hanyan said tactfully.

She had the Eight Desolate God Fall, and the divine arts of the Life God Temple held little significance for her. Moreover, given the vast history of the Life God Temple, its ancient book collection could hardly surpass that of the Life God Temple. Alchemy Dao, arrays, and whatnot might be slightly inferior, but these were ultimately auxiliary to her cultivation focus. Moreover, possessing thousands of Five-Colored Soul Pearls, she was not lacking in cultivation resources, making her even less interested in the Life God Temple.

"I better focus on stabilizing my cultivation first and decide afterward." An Xiaxin said firmly. Her attachment to Huayu Temple was much deeper than Mu Hanyan’s, and unless staying meant absolute stagnation in cultivation, she wouldn’t leave easily.

"I’m not in a hurry either. Given Huayu City’s current momentum, it is bound to become the most prosperous temple main city on the Divine Continent. In the future, countless priests will vie to join our Huayu Temple, so why should I leave?" Ye Yi’an said with a smile.

This statement resonated with everyone; Huayu Temple has always been transcendent, and now with the Life Divine Tree, the Power of Laws within the city has become exceptionally mild. Training within the city bears results no less than other temples. As Huayu City gradually becomes bustling, cultivation resources won’t be an issue, making it hardly necessary to head to the Life God Temple.

Beside him, Gu Qingyang was deeply moved. Other priests might dream of going to the Life God Temple, yet the priests at Huayu Temple, already having reached Divine Heart Priest cultivation, showed no interest.

But he understood Ye Yi’an was correct. Today, Huayu Temple is flourishing; with proper management, it might rival the Life God Temple in the future, even challenging it is within possibility.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang was even more filled with anticipation for the future of the Gu family.

The reconstruction of Huayu City proceeded fervently in the coming days, and in less than a month, the entire city was completely renewed, having expanded three times its previous size. Those sturdy city walls and majestic towers imbued a sense of solemnity.

The new visage, the new beginning, filled everyone with hope for the future.
