Chapter 660: Chapter 521 Tribulation Fire Technique_2

Great Skills were the same, and their instinct was the idealism of the Mage before death, or rather, only Saints whose idealism and faith were unbendingly firm could possibly become Great Skills after death!

Thus, the Flame White Tiger lying in the steam-filled room was a former Mage of the Tribulation Fire Temple, whose idealism and faith did not perish even in death, transforming into a Great Skill to continue guarding the Tribulation Fire Temple!

Mages and Saints like these, who could conquer death with their idealism, irrespective of whether their stance was right or wrong, Ash and the others couldn’t help but admire. After all, every Mage knew that they stood on the shoulders of their predecessors, drawing knowledge from the projections of countless past Mages to reach their current achievements. They were grateful for every Mage who strove in their search for knowledge, just as their juniors would be equally grateful to them.

"The Tribulation Fire Temple originated from the greatest era of the Fire Cat, and every Great Skills’ ambition is to restore the glory of the Fire Cat Era, to pluck the fruit of the sun, to wield the power of the Void Realm," the red-robed Priest said with full confidence. "The Tribulation Fire Temple will ultimately transcend the calamity of ignorance, ignite the flame of knowledge, and retrieve the light of Senluo."

"The Fire Cat Era?" Harvey managed to speak normally as if he were unaffected by the scorching steam.

The red-robed Priest looked on with yearning, "That was the most glorious era of All Gods, where the Guardian of Tribulation Fire and other true and benevolent Great Skills purified the earth, ruled over Senluo, and then all beings worked hard to fulfill the Guardian of Tribulation Fire’s mission—to let ordinary people also wield the power of Technique Spirits because the Guardian of Tribulation Fire took the appearance of a Fire Cat, hence it was also known as the Fire Cat Era."

Let ordinary people also use the power of Technique Spirits!?

Igula, hardly bothered by the discomfort of the mucous membrane, quickly asked, "Did they succeed?"

"Of course, when even newborn infants could be favored by Technique Spirits, the Guardian of Tribulation Fire Technique successfully underwent the Transformation into a deity and, along with countless followers, ascended to the Divine Country. Besides Guardian of Tribulation Fire Technique, there was the Fangyuan Cicada Technique, which longed for Eternal Life, and the Chasing Light Technique, which sought to conquer Death and resurrect the Dead... These three Great Skills completed their missions one after another, ascending with their followers, and left behind countless precious legacies for Senluo."

"It was a splendid era." No scorching current could burn away the somberness in the Priest’s words, "But it has already become a past of a thousand years ago."

Ash and his companions exchanged glances; they had gained more information and also developed new uncertainties.

Assuming the Priest was not Blowing Water, Senluo truly once had a great era, with technological levels perhaps far surpassing the Gospel—the commoners in the Gospel could only indirectly enjoy the benefits of Technique Spirits. Not to mention, they were even capable of tackling the epic tasks of ’Eternal Life’ and ’Resurrection of the Dead’, which, even under very challenging conditions, the Gospel could not do; and the two noble clans of the Blood Moon only just managed long life, not Eternal Life.

Yet now, the Land of Senluo was being ravaged by the Four Pillars God Sect... Not much different from a pure and lovely beauty slaughtered by misfortune because of her family’s downfall.

But what was this about followers and Great Skills ascending? Why did the Fire Cat Era come to an end? If Great Skills were a second form of death for Mages, why were there only three Great Skills in the Fire Cat Era?

It was obviously not the time to delve deeper into conversation now. The red-robed Priest looked towards the Flame White Tiger and said, "The Tribulation Fire Technique is the most powerful among our Great Skills of the Tribulation Fire Temple. As long as you, the First Gospel, can unleash one hundred percent of the Tribulation Fire’s power, the Four Pillars God Sect is merely trifling."

"The most powerful?" Igula quickly detected the key point and coughed twice before saying, "Does your Temple have other Great Skills?"

"Our Tribulation Fire Temple is one of the largest sects in Senluo, with five Holy Halls venerating five Great Skills, which are the Tribulation Fire Technique, Killing Tribulation Fire Technique, and three others," the red-robed Priest straightened his back. "We are just one step away from the throne of Senluo!"

"But now you’re under attack by the Four Pillars God Sect," Igula did not mince words. "Have the other Temples been destroyed?"

"Yes," the Priest nearly clenched his teeth with animosity. "There was a traitor in the other Temples, who took a Great Skill with her and defected to the Four Pillars God Sect, becoming a fierce general of the Sect. Surely it’s her leading the Four Pillars God Sect’s assault now!"

"Defected with a Great Skill?" Igula was astonished. "Aren’t the Great Skills yours?"

"They belong to the Holy Temple, ordinary people may obtain the power of a Great Skill, but they can’t sway its will. But that traitor was the best Tribulation seed of recent years, she gained the full approval of the Great Skill, so it was willing to reside within her!" The Priest’s voice trembled, "Not only that, I heard she led the Four Pillars God Sect to invade the other Temples, using plots and schemes to seize the other Tribulation Fire Techniques!"

Ash blinked, feeling the scenario was somehow familiar.

"Wait," Harvey said, "So, the traitor now can wield the power of four Great Skills?"

"There’s no need to worry," the Priest confidently said, "Even though I don’t know how she deceived the Great Skills, no one can control the power of more than one Great Skill at a time, so even if she has stolen four, she cannot wield the power of four Pillar Gods."

"But at least she can use the power of one Great Skill..."

"It doesn’t matter, the Tribulation Fire Technique is the oldest flame technique, its power far surpasses the other Great Skills!" The Priest was very confident. "This is also why the Four Pillars God Sect attacked here last—they fear the divine might of the Tribulation Fire Technique!"
