Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2455: Chapter 2456: The Power of the Totem

The entire process could be said to be without any anomalies! The Third Princess merely encountered an elder in the Sutra Library, who then took her to the Moonwater Palace.

And from then on, the Third Princess naturally transformed into the Celestial Maiden Qiong Yao.

However, Ye Luo was confident that there was definitely something on the Third Princess that caught the attention of the Moonwater Palace.

Could it be the inheritance from the Celestial Prodigy? After all, the Third Princess’s realm in Body Refinement has already reached a high level, about five or six stages in the Earth Martial Realm.

Don’t underestimate this realm just because it seems insignificant in the Moonwater Palace, but without using mana, few can rival her!

The Moonwater Tribe has always prioritized cultivation and sneered at Body Refinement.

Even though in this Space-Time Channel, Body Refinement has a unique advantage, almost no one engages in it.

The reason lies in the difference between the cultivators in this Space-Time Channel and those outside; the cultivators here worship the power of totems!

What are totems? Ye Luo couldn’t say for sure; there is talk of totems in other interfaces, but each interface’s totems are not quite the same.

Just like on Earth, totems are mostly a form of belief without any other powers!

But here, it seems somewhat different.

Because Ye Luo faintly sensed some peculiar power in the attire of the Moonwater Tribe.

At first, he thought this power was mana blessed on the clothes by some expert, but gradually, he realized something was off.

This power is definitely not bestowed by a cultivator but sourced from the amber and the moon!

In other words, this is the power of totems.

Therefore, Ye Luo instantly grew wary of the power of totems, realizing that even the power contained within a single piece of clothing, though perhaps not mighty, cannot be overlooked considering the number of cultivators in the Moonwater Tribe.

How many garments would that be? And the power these garments collectively possess amounts to an astronomical figure!

This amount of power could not even be achieved by the blessing of dozens of Law Enforcers!

Clearly, the power of totems is extraordinarily terrifying.

What’s more, he couldn’t figure out if the totem possesses its own consciousness! If it had its own consciousness, that would indeed be frightening; what could Ye Luo possibly conceal from it?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Perhaps, the situation is even more complicated than he imagined.

Currently, focusing solely on the Ice Princess is evidently not enough!

Therefore, he needs to find other methods; otherwise, he might never leave here even if he doesn’t perish.

For now, there should be no danger with the Third Princess, so Ye Luo felt relieved, yet one matter continued to bother him.

It was the loss of contact with the base! Or rather, his Divine Sense was actively blocked.

No matter how he attempted to communicate with his Divine Kingdom, the base remained unresponsive.

This made Ye Luo gnash his teeth in frustration, as dangers lurked everywhere, and he sought help from the base!

But then he realized that the Moonwater Tribe must possess a power that the base dreads.

And that power must be the totem.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the expert, the base would dismiss them casually.

Xin Lan once told him that no one in the Sixth Region is worthy of the base’s concern.

Subsequently, Ye Luo continued his cultivation in the shack.

In recent days, he gained considerably, as the resources the Third Master provided were not consumed in vain.

His realm was stabilized at the second stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm and had already entered the accumulation phase. Once the accumulation was complete, he could charge into the third stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

A few days later, the Moonwater Tribe finally welcomed a grand event!

Early in the morning, the Martial Arena of the Moonwater Tribe was crowded with disciples.

Who doesn’t want to soar to great heights, who doesn’t want to stand out?

And this promotion ceremony is an excellent opportunity!

Not to mention, turning from chores to become an Inner Sect Disciple is akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate! The treatment within the tribe and the cultivation resources are beyond comparison.

Therefore, nearly eighty percent of the crowd on the plaza were servants.

Ye Luo arrived among the crowd out of curiosity, and by then, a huge arena had been set up in the middle of the Martial Arena.

And not far away, were the lake and the full moon! Adding a mysterious vibe to the arena.

Moreover, Ye Luo had learned that the victory and defeat of a disciple was not determined by humans but selected by the totem!

This means even if you win, you might not get promoted! There have been cases of failed disciples getting promoted in the promotion ceremony!

Hence, the nature of the promotion ceremony has gradually transformed!

Initially, it was a grand event to select high-ranking disciples, a kind of friendly competition, but gradually, disciples noticed the unfairness within!

Failure could still lead to promotion; what kind of competition is this?

So, disciples began to go all out! After all, if a disciple falls, not even the totem could choose him!

Therefore, the promotion ceremony has become bloody.

Of course, what Ye Luo cares about is not these things; he’s witnessed even bloodier scenes!

He was concerned about how the totem selects disciples! If victory isn’t the sole factor, then it involves evaluating the disciple’s talent and other comprehensive aspects.

This suggests that the totem might have its own consciousness!

So isn’t everything Ye Luo speculated coming true?

This does not bode well for him, and he decides to exercise greater caution.

Becoming a disciple of the Moonwater Tribe might possibly lull the totem into letting its guard down.

And he could perhaps take the opportunity to investigate the depths of the totem.

Consequently, Ye Luo didn’t hesitate and went to the Elder to register, whereupon he received a token and returned to the shack to wait.

Today was merely a mobilization meeting and not a real competition. Ye Luo didn’t want to waste that time.

But just as he returned to the shack, he saw the Third Master standing outside.

”Senior, how come you’re here!” Ye Luo suddenly asked, since there were still three days until the agreed time for treating the Ice Princess.

”Young Master, did you really go to participate in the promotion ceremony?” The Third Master directly asked.

Ye Luo was taken aback, realizing that given the status of the Third Master and the Ice Princess, having access to the registration list wasn’t surprising.

So Ye Luo smiled and nodded.
