Not only were the squad members of the five major organizations arriving to destroy the demonic energy tornado, but at this moment, the Light Clan from the small half of the Holy Kingdom was spreading the light and shadow of Ji Jiayu's heroic battle in Qiming City.

There were the light and shadow of him and Nie Lanxi slaying the Split Holy Beast; he summoned the holy pearl and condensed the light and shadow of golden light in the sky; there were the light and shadow of him controlling the phantom of a historical hero, breaking through the light barrier with a spiral weapon array.

His short figure, still childish face, and resolute eyes moved many Guangming people and greatly changed their impression of him.

Only then did they learn that Ji Jiayu had just finished dealing with Qiming City, and before he could rest, he had already rushed to the next battlefield.

Of course, this didn't stop some Guangming people from expressing their anger at Ji Jiayu joining the Holy Guard. Although he guarded Qiming City and saved millions of people, the vast majority of those he saved were human, and the Holy Guard he joined was the most coveted place for tens of millions of people from childhood to adulthood. They didn't know how many screenings and challenges they had to go through since they were young to enter the Sacred Guard. As for Ji Jiayu, he was essentially transferred to the Sacred Guard as soon as he entered the Sacred Sect.

"The Sacred Guards definitely won't accept him easily!"

"I'm looking forward to hearing that he's been expelled from the Sacred Guard!"

"You can't condemn someone like that! Seriously, if any of us had done what he did in Qiming City, would you still feel that it was unreasonable to transfer to the Sacred Guard? Just because he's human? Over the years, has humanity made even a small contribution to our Guangming race?"

"That is, I admire the things he's done, but I can't do a hundred of them. Not only am I not capable enough, but I also don't have the courage. I don't think it's anything for someone like Ji Jiayu to join the Sacred Guard!"

"Today is the day to join the Sacred Guard, so are you going to be a member of parliament tomorrow and the speaker of parliament the day after? Once this opportunity opens, the Sacred Sect is over!"

"I heard your tone. Why do you look so much like a member of the Light Supremacy Sect?"

"Bah! I didn't! You didn't see what they did. They're all worthy of being members of the Guangming Clan?! I just think it's fine if the human race remains in our Sacred City, and it doesn't matter if he's in charge, but entering the Sacred Sect is truly over!"

"Are these things of any use to us here? If he stays in the sect or remains safe, we'd better pray that he doesn't stay in the Sacred Guard, or he'll be expelled, and then the great prophet himself will be disappointed."

"That means the Sacred Guard has such high requirements for its members. It's not just about being strong; they carry hope."

"..."

Some members of the Guangming Clan talked a lot about Ji Jiayu, but they didn't know that at this time, Ji Jiayu had already established a strong foothold within the Sacred Guard organization. Even the members of the four major organizations—the Ascetics, the Fanatics, the Light Guardians, and the Sacred Court—were basically shocked by Ji Jiayu, and many were impressed.

The sacred art continued to evolve, and the sacred patterns were also activated after being drawn. A bright golden light shone from where Ji Jiayu was.

Ji Jiayu increasingly felt that he was only one step away from breaking through to the sixth rank, and he would soon be able to condense a sacred cornerstone, whether it was a priest's cornerstone or a priestess' cornerstone.

However, he always felt something was wrong.

As this idea grew stronger and stronger, a light suddenly flashed in his spiritual world.

A light and shadow image appeared in his spiritual world.

"Luo Ying!" Ji Jiayu immediately recognized the person in the image.

He saw the Moon God Luo Ying with her eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, her spiritual power emanating from her body, like a cloud of smoke covering a vast area.

In this light and shadow image, the Moon God Luo Ying's spiritual power was red. No, she was a Moon God-level powerhouse; she should be said to possess divine consciousness.

Ji Jiayu watched her divine consciousness emerge up close, inducing every tiny bit of divine power around her, allowing her to form sacred techniques, many of which Ji Jiayu had not yet learned from Wang Yinlan.

It wasn't that Wang Yinlan didn't want to teach, but some sacred techniques were also secret to her. It wasn't that the sacred sect was hiding privately, but rather that some sacred arts weren't suitable for public disclosure.

Ji Jiayu focused on the sacred technique Luo Ying had constructed. His spiritual power surged, mobilizing divine power from all directions, and he began to attempt to construct the sacred technique.

However, he failed the first few times.

This was the first time he had failed to construct a sacred technique.

Luo Ying had displayed all of her sixth- and seventh-grade sacred techniques, but the complexity of the construction process and the profound techniques far exceeded those of the sixth- and seventh-grade. Once successfully constructed, the power and impact of the exploding sacred cornerstone far exceeded that of ordinary sixth- and seventh-grade sacred techniques.

Initially, Ji Jiayu's momentum had basically stabilized and was no longer strong, but with the appearance of Luo Ying's light and shadow of the moon god, Ji Jiayu's momentum began to skyrocket again, frightening the many light clansmen who were watching him.

At the same time, Ji Jiayu suddenly felt a little worried. Luo Ying was a Moon God cultivated by a priest, and what she taught Ji Jiayu was a sacred art. Would it cause his two sacred cornerstones to condense out of balance? What would the effect be?

Ji Jiayu hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided to continue constructing the sacred art according to the light and shadow indications. He desperately needed powerful strength. The demonic energy tornado was raging in the Holy Kingdom, and the crisis caused by the light barrier had not yet been resolved. He could only save more people by becoming stronger.

One by one, the lights of the sacred art condensed together to construct the sacred cornerstone.

The Lunar Sect's new sacred art, Luo Ying, possessed extremely strong adhesion and compression, making the sacred cornerstone even harder. The different colors on it represented different attributes, making the sacred cornerstone appear colorful.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the light and shadow of Moon God Luo Ying finally disappeared.

Ji Jiayu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His mental strength was almost at its limit. If Moon God Luo Ying continued to demonstrate to him, he would probably faint.

So, this is the role of the Divine Sacrifice. However, it shouldn't be as simple as teaching me some sacred techniques when breaking through to the sixth level, right?

Ji Jiayu's thoughts flashed, and then he was ready to begin the final step, furious!

Just as the foundation stone needs to be poured, the sacred cornerstone also needs to be tempered before it can truly become the cornerstone of the sacred portal.

Ji Jiayu took a deep breath, just about to guide the divine power in the sacred sea to flow, when suddenly, the sacred pearl at the center of his brow let out a buzzing sound.
