"Are you here to join in the fun too?" After Ji Jiayu felt the buzzing of the Sacred Pearl, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. The Sacred Light Pearl continued to buzz, and wisps of light radiated from it, spreading to Ji Jiayu's limbs and bones. A surge of warmth surged into his heart, causing Ji Jiayu's nearly depleted mental strength to slowly recover.

At the same time, lights and shadows also appeared in Ji Jiayu's spiritual world.

This time, there wasn't just one Moon God in the light and shadows, but many Moon Gods of Light, among them priests and priestesses.

The lights and shadows presented essentially depicted scenes of them fighting demons. In a fierce battle, the gods used the sacred arts and sacred patterns most suited to the battle.

This time, Ji Jiayu didn't try to construct all the sacred arts or depict all the sacred patterns. The Moon God in the image displayed too many sacred arts and sacred patterns. If all of them were constructed or depicted, the spiritual power of his divine consciousness level might not be enough, and he had to choose the essence.

Ji Jiayu chose to start with the sacred symbols. His Priesthood Cornerstone and Priesthood Cornerstone were already out of balance, and he hoped to balance them more if possible.

Having made his decision, Ji Jiayu used his spiritual power to mobilize divine power and carve sacred patterns onto his sacred skin.

At this moment, if one used spiritual power to closely observe Ji Jiayu's skin, they would be able to see sacred patterns composed of techniques, densely packed, like countless dragons rising into the sky.

Each sacred pattern represented an ability. At the fifth level, they needed to be activated to exert their power. At the sixth level, the sacred patterns were integrated into the body and condensed into the sacred cornerstone, and the cultivator's body permanently possessed a portion of the sacred pattern's abilities.

Although only partially, several abilities could be combined to transform a priest from an ordinary person into an extraordinary one. From the sixth level, the cultivation of clergy and priestesses proceeded in two directions.

Because the sacred patterns displayed in the light and shadow of the Holy Light Pearl were superior to some of the sacred patterns Ji Jiayu had originally drawn, he had to first erase many of the sacred patterns on his sacred bones and skin, then redraw them, covering them with divine power, allowing them to enter a state of waiting for forging.

In the eyes of the surrounding Guangming clansmen, Ji Jiayu's aura fluctuated, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the light on his body sometimes dimmed and sometimes brightened, but overall, it grew stronger. This made many Guangming clansmen suspicious, unsure of what had happened to Ji Jiayu during his breakthrough.

After two full hours, Ji Jiayu completed the initial arrangement of the priest's sacred cornerstone and then began studying and attempting to construct sacred techniques.

As powerful sacred arts were constructed one by one, the divine power of the entire world surged wildly, and Ji Jiayu was at the center of the vortex.

"How many sacred arts has he learned in this short time..." The Guangming clansmen looked at each other, feeling incredulous.

"According to the description in the book, the divine foundation's sacred arts and sacred pattern reserves are nothing more than that..."

"Could it be that we can truly witness the birth of the divine foundation?"

The members of the Guangming clan were chatting away, all of them preparing to perform sacred techniques like shadow painting. If they could truly witness the birth of the divine foundation, they would surely depict its birthing process with light and shadow. Humanity cultivating a divine foundation could be considered a world first, right?

About two hours later, Ji Jiayu completed the initial arrangement of the priest's sacred cornerstone. Both cornerstones were ready for the final step of tempering.

Ji Jiayu once again prepared to guide the divine power to flow out of the sacred sea, but the change didn't occur as he expected.

When the two cornerstones were completely ready, the Holy Radiance Orb automatically floated out of his forehead. In the shocked eyes of many Guangming people, the golden light shining from the Holy Light Pearl slowly rose into the air, hanging about ten meters above Ji Jiayu's head. Immediately after, dim phantoms gradually appeared, suspended around him, forming a circle.

Nie Lanxi's eyes swept quickly. There were six phantoms, all in the form of beads.

If Nie Lanxi guessed correctly, they should be the other six of the Seven Divine Beads. However, why had they suddenly appeared? What did their appearance mean?

Nie Lanxi was thinking, Yang Jiong'er and the others were thinking, and everyone present was thinking. Time seemed to stop for a moment.

Suddenly, golden light fell from the Holy Light Pearl, enveloping Ji Jiayu.

The golden light permeated, shining on every pore on Ji Jiayu's body, every drop of blood on his body, and every bone on his body, shining on his sacred cornerstone.

"Boom!"

As the golden light shone on the sacred cornerstone, it was as if thunder had fallen, and the entire sacred cornerstone instantly became extremely dense, blending every sacred technique together. At the same time, Ji Jiayu felt a burst of severe pain coming from all over his body, and couldn't help but scream. While the golden light tempered the sacred cornerstone, it also hammered his body, and his body now also became a sacred cornerstone.

The pain was only a moment, but it could make Ji Jiayu remember it for a lifetime. He never wanted to endure that kind of pain again in his life.

However, God is not as good as He wants.

The golden light lasted about two seconds from falling to being retracted. When the golden light disappeared, on the left side of the Holy Light Pearl, a bead phantom entered and emitted a blue light. The blue light, like the golden light before, enveloped Ji Jiayu's body, fiercely tempering his two holy foundations.

"Ah!" Ji Jiayu screamed again.

With a scream, the sacred cornerstone condensed by the sacred technique was enveloped in a faint blue light, as was his body.

After the blue light, there was another black light, followed by a pale green light, a blue-white intertwined light, and then a transparent light and a purple light.

Seven rays of light fell one after another, violently slamming into Ji Jiayu's sacred cornerstone, causing him to scream one after another, and also causing goosebumps to rise throughout the watching Guangming clan.

After the seven rays of light were illuminated, the remaining six ghosts slowly dissipated. A sacred pearl fell from the sky, returning to Ji Jiayu's body.

Ji Jiayu suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, looking terrified.

It hurt! Having just been illuminated by those seven rays of light, it felt like suffering seven lightning strikes; it was too painful! However, despite the pain, Ji Jiayu's mood was elated, because the seven rays of light had replaced his divine power and helped him complete the final step in cultivating the sacred cornerstone: tempering!
