Water Blue Star.
Great Compassion Temple.
Representatives of the Western Church from Europa, after participating in the day’s Magic Meeting, were the first to rise, hoping to meet with Master Yuanci.
Master Yuanci, having presided over the Magic Meeting, was somewhat weary. He had intended to close the doors to visitors, but upon hearing the identity of the representative, he hesitated and then agreed to the meeting.
Because from his Disciples, Master Yuanci had learned that the representative from the Western Church was a Grand Archbishop – a figure with a rather special status within that sect’s hierarchy.
One of the existing thirteen Exorcists of the Western Church and the one with the oldest qualifications.
Rumors had always suggested he was deeply trusted and supported by the reigning Holy Lord.
And it was possible that he could become a candidate for the next Holy Lord.
Such a special status caused Yuan Ci’s heart to stir, suspecting that the other party might be a member of the mysterious circles.
After all, in Yuan Ci’s eyes, the Western Church also had a long history and profound heritage, with many believers throughout the ages.
If they didn’t have some hint of a mystical foundation, how could they have developed into such a huge entity!
It was likely that they would have been overtaken by other Transcendent-supported sects competing for influence!
Furthermore, historically, the Western Church had led many campaigns of witch hunts and demon eradication.
To those like Master Yuanci who had come into contact with mystic knowledge, this part of history began to take on deeper, more hidden implications.
He even suspected that this period, culturally seen as the Dark Ages, actually was a war that arose from conflicts between Transcendent powers?
And the victors, undoubtedly, were the Western Church, still able to send representatives today.
After becoming a Cultivator, Master Yuanci also hoped to interact more with True Cultivation.
However, after testing the waters with old friends recently, he gradually realized.
In his original circle, he was the only one who was a True Cultivator!
Bishop Jon, informed of Master Ci’s willingness to meet, revealed a polite smile to the Disciple who delivered the news.
Then, after adjusting his vestments, this nearly sixty-year-old Archbishop of the Western Church declined his entourage’s company and followed the monk alone into the inner sanctuary.
Bishop Jon came to the Great Compassion Temple on a mission.
As the first and most populous sect on Water Blue Star.
Initially, the Western Church was disdainful of the various divine miracles that suddenly appeared in the East.
In their view, the tricks their Eastern counterparts were playing had been overused by them centuries before.

And to complement them, they had even written countless stories, hard to distinguish between true and false.
They even spared no expense in constructing what were then considered architectural marvels.
It was precisely because they caught on at the right time.
That they possess such a heritage today.
However, as increasingly more phenomena were occurring that couldn’t be explained by current scientific understanding.
Especially when a divine retribution event occurred in Nepal, where it was rumored someone summoned a giant wolf from the sky to punish a General who committed countless wrongdoings.
The Holy Lord and Bishops at the Western Church’s headquarters began to sense something was amiss and felt the pressure from their allies.
Bishop Jon never imagined he would encounter a patient secretly played by an intelligence agent to test whether he could perform Divine Arts.
Even less did he expect that with the Blood-colored Monk Group capturing the intelligence agents sneaking into the Holy City’s underground library, he would face even greater diplomatic pressure.
Every day, almost without fail, influential figures would seek him out, asking if he could hold Mass and perform miracles to cure terminal diseases…
Bishop Jon naturally rebutted these widely circulated rumors every time.
Emphasizing that the miraculous Mass no longer existed as a tradition under the current Holy Lord’s reign.
Unlike the previous Lord, who was suspected of fabricating miraculous Masses to cure incurable diseases and resurrect the dead, the current Lord had no such record.
Therefore, today’s Holy City could have a Red Bishop and be eligible for the role of Holy Lord, even without having performed a miraculous Mass.
To heal diseases, one should not only remain devout to the Holy Lord but also trust in the doctor’s advice.
In this manner, under the benevolent love of the Holy Lord, Our Lady, and the Saint Heir, there might be a greater chance for terminal diseases to be cured naturally, providing new life.
However, when Bishop Jon saw the internal bulletin about the Sakura City incident in Sakura Country from his subordinates, who hurried over.
Seeing that Onmyoji Kamo Junichiro had seemingly conducted a mystic ritual that truly summoned a Guardian Spirit Beast.
And that the incident outside Sakura City ended with the intervention of a Fox-faced Witch and a palm strike from the heavens.
Bishop Jon’s worldview was shaken like never before.
After internally exclaiming ‘impossible’ numerous times, he trembled as he went to the Holy Lord’s chamber in search of answers.
He was a firm believer in the current Holy Lord, and while believing in the existence of the Holy Lord, he also believed that technology was a path approved by the Holy Lord and even believed that they should break free from many of the rules and false propaganda that ensnared the faithful.
Only then could the faithful live better lives, and after death, their souls would be closer to Holy Lord Paradise.
Yet… the anomalies that appeared seemed to tell them.
That the foundations of what they had upheld for most of their lives might have had a slight mistake.
Bad customs might have their reasons.
And the mysteries might not be just for consolidating power; they could genuinely be authentic!
As the Holy Lord’s confidant for decades, Bishop Jon learned the truth from the Holy Lord himself.
