Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2204 - 2160: Power of Faith
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
Chen Yang and Tu Qi both felt a chill upon seeing this scene.
They thought to themselves, "Oh no, has this guy really been poisoned?"
Feeling tense, the two couldn’t say much at the moment, and could only watch silently.
"City Lord Huang, there’s no need to blame yourself. Accepting the heavens indeed takes a process. As Sect Hierarch, I understand. Starting now, converting to the Dao of the heavens is not too late!" Zhang Qun had a faint smile on his face as he accompanied Huang Tianwen to the entrance of the grand hall.
"Convert to the Dao of the heavens, and the heavens will grant you power!"
Zhang Qun stretched out his arms towards the sky outside the hall, saying with a sacred expression.
Huang Tianwen nodded repeatedly, "What Sect Hierarch Zhang says makes sense. When I return today, I will definitely worship the heavens sincerely, hoping the heavens can forgive my previous foolishness."
"The heavens will forgive you."
Zhang Qun nodded. After a few more brief exchanges, the communication had completely ended.
As they were about to leave, Zhang Qun gave Huang Tianwen an item.
A few brown elixirs.
Huang Tianwen looked at the elixirs in his hand, appearing puzzled.
Involuntarily, he asked Zhang Qun, "Sect Hierarch Zhang, what are these?"
Zhang Qun replied with a sacred expression, "City Lord Huang, these are from the heavens, for me to give to you."
"The heavens asked you to give them to me?"
"Yes." Zhang Qun nodded with a smile, then explained, "The heavens felt your genuine remorse earlier and specifically instructed me to give you these elixirs."
"After you ingest them, they will enhance your power. This is the heavens’ blessing to you."
Zhang Qun spoke with great seriousness.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tianwen’s face immediately showed a look of delight!
"Really?"
"Of course it’s true. As long as you sincerely worship and dedicate yourself to the heavens, the heavens will grant you power." Zhang Qun nodded confidently.
"Then, thank you, heavens! I will surely try them when I return."
"Hmm."
Zhang Qun nodded.
And Huang Tianwen continued to maintain an excited expression.
After expressing gratitude a few more times, they descended the mountain.
"Sect Hierarch, isn’t it inappropriate to bestow the Divine Elixir on Huang Tianwen on just his first day?"
Watching the silhouettes of Huang Tianwen and others descending the mountain, Protector Tang expressed some concern.
Zhang Qun merely sneered coldly, "Huang Tianwen is extremely important to us, so drawing him in early and making him believe sooner is a good thing."
"No matter whether he sincerely came up the mountain today or not."
"After consuming our Divine Elixir, he will be sincere."
"After all, who can refuse power gained so effortlessly?"
Zhang Qun’s face displayed a wicked smile.
Protector Tang, hearing this, also began to smile.
"By the way, is the batch production of the Divine Elixir complete? The day is almost here, distribute one to all sect members."
"Let them all taste the benefits of worshipping the heavens!"
Zhang Qun instructed Protector Tang.
"Yes."
Protector Tang nodded with a smile and went off to execute the orders.
...
Elsewhere.
At the foot of Tianshan.
By this time, Huang Tianwen, along with Chen Yang and Tu Qi, had already boarded the horse carriage, slowly heading back to Weng City.
During the initial period on the carriage, the atmosphere inside was very peculiar.
Because Chen Yang and Tu Qi both suspected whether Huang Tianwen had really been brainwashed.
After traveling some distance, once far away from Tianshan, Chen Yang spoke up.
"City Lord Huang, are you okay?"
Chen Yang asked tentatively.
"Mighty one, does Huang really seem like someone with such weak willpower? If Zhang Qun could capture me with just a few words, wouldn’t Weng City be completely overtaken by now?" Huang Tianwen replied with a smile, seeing through Chen Yang and Tu Qi’s concern.
Upon hearing his words, Chen Yang and Tu Qi finally let go of their worry.
"City Lord Huang, your acting is way too good. Both Chen Yang and I almost believed you were caught." Tu Qi laughed.
"Mighty Tu, if my acting weren’t good enough, I wouldn’t dare promise you I’d truly go up the mountain."
"That Zhang Qun fellow is truly terrifying. Today I’ve come to see the horror of their Worship Sun Sect."
Huang Tianwen’s expression suddenly turned serious.
Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately knew that Huang Tianwen must have discovered some hidden secrets.
So he asked.
"What is it, City Lord Huang? Is there something special about the Worship Sun Sect?"
"Hmm." Huang Tianwen nodded and then said, "Did you notice, when passing the square, that Divine Stone, it seems to be emitting Divine Power."
"In reality, it’s absorbing, not emitting."
With Huang Tianwen’s revelation, Chen Yang suddenly remembered.
He indeed felt the same way!
"City Lord Huang, I also felt this way, indeed, but what it was absorbing was strange. I couldn’t discern what exactly was being absorbed."
Upon realizing, Chen Yang immediately responded.
Tu Qi, hearing the two, displayed a surprised expression.
"Really? Why didn’t I feel it?"
Tu Qi hadn’t paid much attention at the time, so he didn’t detect anything.
"That feeling is very subtle. You must carefully perceive it to notice something." Huang Tianwen replied to Tu Qi.
Chen Yang then asked Huang Tianwen, "City Lord Huang, do you know what is being absorbed?"
"Hmm." Huang Tianwen directly nodded and then answered Chen Yang, "Those absorbed things, if I’m not mistaken, should be the Power of Faith."
"Power of Faith?"
Chen Yang was stunned, finding himself in another knowledge blind spot.
He had never heard of such a thing.
Not to mention knowing what the Power of Faith was.
But Tu Qi beside him seemed to know, showing even more surprise on his face.
"City Lord Huang, the Power of Faith you mentioned, isn’t it like that of Buddhism?" Tu Qi exclaimed.
Huang Tianwen nodded, "Indeed, it is that kind of Power of Faith."
"However, Zhang Qun’s version of the Power of Faith has a big difference from Buddhism."
Tu Qi, upon hearing it truly was the Power of Faith, slowly transitioned his expression from surprise to shock!
It seemed that the Power of Faith was a formidable force.
"City Lord Huang, please explain the differences in the Power of Faith." Tu Qi urged.
Chen Yang was also very curious.
Initially, the mention of Power of Faith didn’t bring any concept to him.
But hearing Tu Qi compare it to Buddhism,
Chen Yang began to form a concept.
He roughly understood what the Power of Faith was.
It should be the gathering of a magical force through others’ beliefs, that force being vast and significantly enhancing the strength of those worshipped.
That’s roughly how it seems.
"Buddhism’s Power of Faith is pure, beneficial to the worshipped while also reciprocating the worshippers."
"Whereas Zhang Qun’s Power of Faith is solely exploitative! Additionally, his so-called heavens are completely fabricated, not existing at all."
"In other words, Zhang Qun is a thief, fabricating something nonexistent for people to worship."
"Then he steals the unanchored faith to strengthen himself."
...
Huang Tianwen expressed his thoughts.
