The law fragment was too large. Even a ninth-level Ming Saint would be affected if it approached. Black scales would appear on their skin, and their sacred bones would tremble violently, as if they were growing additional bones.

A ninth-level Ming Saint would still be like this, let alone Ji Jiayu, a Ming Zun.

Even though Ji Jiayu had the Holy Light Pearl to protect his body, he still felt his blood boiling and a tendency to become demonized.

In this regard, the higher-ups of the Sacred Sect were reluctant to let him take the risk. The reason they agreed later was because the experiences of the past three days had slightly transformed the Sacred Pearl, and the hidden energy within it seemed to have the potential to be activated.

For hundreds of years, the full energy of the Holy Radiance Orb could only be activated by the Moon God and even the Great Heavenly God.

Even though Ji Jiayu was the leader, it was naturally impossible to immediately unleash its full power.

Taking over it was only the beginning, and if he wanted to continue gaining recognition for it in the future, he would have to increase his strength to take over it.

There was no doubt that Ji Jiayu's wholehearted and sleepless efforts over the past three days had been recognized, allowing him to feel the immense energy.

However, to activate that energy, relying solely on the strength of a fourth-rank Ming Zun was not enough; one needed to possess at least a fifth-rank.

Ji Jiayu had only recently broken through to the fourth-rank. According to normal cultivation laws, even a heavenly talent would be difficult for him to break through to the fifth-rank in a year or two. However, the divine light bestowed upon him by thousands of sixth-rank Ming Venerables self-destructing made his breakthrough possible.

Now, he only needed to continue saving the Demon Light Clan and then absorbing the divine power to complete his breakthrough from the fourth to the fifth-rank.

Ji Jiayu, who had many thoughts in his heart and had taken a short break under Wang Yinlan's coercion, walked to the edge of the Sacred Square again and began rescuing the demonized Guangming tribe members sent by the Ming Saint. There were onlookers in all directions, densely packed, and as far as the eye could see, a sea of ​​black people were all good people who had heard the news.

Three days were enough for Ji Jiayu, a human, to save the Guangming Clan. At first, many Guangming people didn't believe it, but when they saw the miracle with their own eyes, they were all speechless and shocked, and then they let the news spread even further.

"You say, can he really clear the law fragment? I heard that even the presiding judge couldn't do anything about it."

"Who knows! I'm also curious to see how he did it."

"I heard that he's a human who wants to join the Sacred Sect. If it's him, I guess it doesn't matter now."

"Confused! Even if he helped us clear the law fragment, even if he helped us save many people, he shouldn't be allowed to join the Sacred Sect, and he shouldn't be allowed to set this precedent! With him doing this first, what are you going to say when there's a second or third time in the future?"

"That is, you think he can do it, but what if you think other races can do it in the future? What about more humans who also possess that qualification? When will we list clear qualifications for humans? This is related to the survival of our Guangming Clan!"

"This kind of thing will never be an exception!"

"We can reward and compensate him in other ways, but joining the Sacred Sect is absolutely impossible!"

Although Ji Jiayu's behavior has been recognized by many Guangming people, they still regard him as an outsider. But this is normal; after all, there is much to be done.

But there are opponents, and of course there are supporters.

The two sides were arguing heatedly as they watched Ji Jiayu create miracles. Not only them, but even the high-ranking officials of the Sacred Sect were also arguing nonstop.

Now that the fragments of the law of sin and the chaos of demonization had been gradually resolved, the next important event would naturally be on the agenda: the discussion of Ji Jiayu's status and position.

Ji Jiayu was born in the Blue Domain's Guangming City, and in terms of his birthplace and bloodline, he was a pure human. However, as the person in charge of the Sacred Light Pearl, he could no longer be a simple human. His future would likely be tied to the Guangming Clan. So, what kind of position would the Guangming Clan give him? How would they safeguard his people and his heart?

These were questions worth pondering, but they clearly had nothing to do with Ji Jiayu at this moment.

In the Sacred Field, thousands of demonlight clansmen were like walking dead. If not for the limitations of Chen Miaoyi's Lunar Divine Field, they would surely be roaring and attacking their own people by now.

The spectators of the Guangming Clan were not only here to watch the excitement, but also to see their relatives here, waiting for their relatives to return home safely.

How dare Ji Jiayu slack off?

He sat cross-legged on the ground, the sacred beads in front of him blooming with boundless light, and above his head, clusters of divine light merged into his body, slowly increasing his power.

At the same time, in the sacred sea in the void, Ji Jiayu's sacred beacon underwent a tremendous change. I saw the vortex where the sacred beacon was located, swallowing the surrounding divine power, and then pouring it into Ji Jiayu's body.

This was a sign that his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth-order, the sacred vortex.

Only by cultivating the divine vortex and absorbing divine power could a cultivator break through to the fifth-order Ming Zun realm.

However, the Divine Vortex was only the foundation of cultivation.

The transformation from the early fourth-order to the peak still stemmed from the sacred bones and sacred circuits, and compared to when they first entered the fourth-order, their strength, breadth, and tenacity had greatly increased, and the divine power they could wield had more than doubled.

In this way, Ji Jiayu finally possessed the ability to impact the fifth-order Ming Zun realm.

Once you have a foundation of divine power and a divine body, there's only one obstacle to breaking through from the fourth to the fifth rank: cultivating your divine attributes.

The so-called divine attributes are nothing more than the qualities possessed by the goddess of light, as believed by the sacred sect, such as courage, protection, justice, judgment, faith, fighting spirit, baptism, and so on.

These divine attributes have different levels. Upon reaching the fifth rank, the higher the level of the divine attribute cultivated, the greater the potential for the future, but the greater the relative difficulty.

The divine attribute Ji Jiayu chose was salvation, which falls within the four levels of the divine attributes.

However, Ji Jiayu was confident that his unremitting efforts over the past few days were truly worthy of the term "redemption."

As he thought about it, Ji Jiayu saved hundreds of demon light clansmen. His divine skin, bones, flesh and blood, divine circuits, and divine power had finally reached the peak of the fourth rank, and there was no way to continue improving or increasing.

After taking a deep breath, he let his mental power spread out and began attempting the breakthrough.
