Chapter 225
Celestial Realm
After hearing Master Minglong’s story, the Sword Demon appeared momentarily in disbelief. It was understandable; as a warrior, his entire life revolved around the martial prowess he honed, and he was almost an atheist at heart. To claim that the incredible strength of the Dharma Protectors—the strongest among the strong—was due to the divine was simply hard for him to accept.
Thus, the Sword Demon fell into a long silence, hesitating for a while before speaking up.
“Okay, let’s say there is a god. Does that mean the Dharma Protectors are borrowing that enormous power for free?”
“Not at all,” Master Minglong responded. “Even with lesser spirits, you must offer an appropriate price to borrow power. If they’re wielding such excessive strength, there’s surely a tremendous cost involved.”
“Tremendous cost, huh…”
The Sword Demon shook his head.
“Master Minglong, it’s hard for me to accept this. Even if there is a god, that sounds too far-fetched.”
“That’s a common perception. However, there’s no other way to explain the Heavenly Spirit Pill.”
