Chapter 901

The aircraft flew between modern skyscrapers.

Under Meng Yu's introduction, Xu Jingming gained a fairly comprehensive understanding of the Firebrand World.

First, the number of supreme elites.

Including High Priestess Emers, there were three supreme elites in total.

The other two supreme elites each had their own factions.

But Emers had the highest prestige, and the Firebrand Temple was a relatively lax organization with the largest membership.

Second, the Firebrand World had a rigid hierarchy far beyond anything on Blue Star.

The ten-ring zones of the metropolis each housed different types and levels of psychics.

Those with psychic levels below C-grade, or merely awakened individuals, could only reside beyond the sixth ring.

Without exception, those beyond the sixth ring would never enter it in their lifetime.

Within the sixth ring, each deeper ring required meeting corresponding conditions.

The closer one got to the first ring, the better the education, medical care, cultivation resources, and other external conditions became.

Of course, for prodigies like Meng Yu, who possessed an SS-grade psychic ability.

No matter where they traveled in the Firebrand World, they faced no restrictions.

"The Firebrand World has a higher ratio of elites than Da Xia; besides its population base, this system is likely another reason."

Xu Jingming suddenly understood.

With external incentives, psychics would train harder.

"By the way, Senior Xu, the Firebrand Temple is right beside the Void-Breaking Tower.

High Priestess Emers wishes to meet you. If possible, please don't refuse."

As the aircraft entered the first ring, Meng Yu suddenly spoke.

Ancient civilization language was inherently gentle, and with her soft tone, her posture appeared extremely humble.

For an ordinary person, the chance to meet the High Priestess would be a dream come true.

But since Xu Jingming was suspected of possessing an SSS-grade psychic ability, she asked this way.

"High Priestess Emers?"

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked: "The Eye of Fate?"

During their earlier conversation, he had already learned this supreme elite's ability from Meng Yu.

Of course, the moment he entered the Firebrand World,

Eva had already entered the Firebrand World's network to gather information.

Information like psychic effects—even if Meng Yu hadn't introduced it—he could still know.

"A psychic ability that sees past and future? Is the Eye of Fate truly this miraculous?"

Ling Shuang and Su Qingli showed expressions of curiosity.

Psychic abilities were as countless as stars; having held high positions, they had seen many.

Yet they had never encountered such a miraculous ability before.

"This is the High Priestess's great divine power! You'll understand once you experience it."

A faint fervor surfaced on Meng Yu's fair, delicate face.

It reminded Xu Jingming of Catherine.

Both were equally fervent, but one worshipped a nonexistent God of Light, while the other revered a real, powerful being.

After all, the one who had lifted an entire space out of the spatial chaos and returned it to Blue Star.

Anyone would regard such a being as a god.

Xu Jingming silently marveled, then nodded: "Alright, I'll meet the High Priestess later."

According to Meng Yu's introduction, anyone observed by the Eye of Fate would be seen through.

As a supreme elite, Emers could observe him without his awareness—easily.

Rather than refuse, it was better to accept directly.

Also,

He wanted to see if Emers's Eye of Fate could see his past life experiences...

After entering the first ring, the differences from other zones became obvious.

First, the buildings were taller; second, the greenery was better.

Green vegetation rarely seen in other zones was everywhere here.

Moreover, Xu Jingming could easily sense that everyone walking the city streets below were psychics—no ordinary people at all.

"Seniors, the Firebrand Temple has arrived."

At Meng Yu's reminder, Xu Jingming looked ahead and saw a massive structure.

The building stood sixty to seventy meters tall, entirely silver-white, shaped like an ancient foreign temple.

Yet this temple was not ancient—it was highly modernized.

Whoosh—

The aircraft landed at the entrance.

Under Meng Yu's guidance, Xu Jingming and his group entered the Firebrand Temple.

"The Firebrand Temple is divided into inner and outer zones.

The outer zone handles miscellaneous affairs; only the High Priestess and her disciples may enter the inner zone."

The Firebrand Temple was vast; under Meng Yu's guidance, Xu Jingming and the other two walked for over ten minutes before stopping before a corridor:

"This is the entrance to the inner zone. I've already notified them.

Senior Xu, you may enter directly—High Priestess's eldest disciple, Moonshadow Cleric, is waiting inside."

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded and stepped forward.

Su Qingli and Ling Shuang were taken by Meng Yu to rest elsewhere.

Walking down the corridor, they soon reached a flat plaza.

Xu Jingming immediately saw a young man standing on the plaza.

He wore a black combat suit, with the Firebrand Temple emblem on his chest.

He seemed fused with the space itself—calm and serene.

Yet Xu Jingming, through his powerful spiritual sense, perceived his aura.

Peak Ninth Stage!

And stronger than the peak Ninth Stage Cao Jun he had once encountered in Da Xia!

"The Firebrand World has three supreme elites and five peak Ninth Stage individuals.

In terms of elite numbers, no Blue Star nation can match them.

No wonder Da Xia declared the Firebrand Temple a friendly faction.

Such a world—no nation would want to make an enemy of it."

Xu Jingming silently marveled, then bowed respectfully: "Cleric."

"You must be Xu Jingming. Follow me." Moonshadow Cleric smiled slightly.

He looked young, perhaps only in his twenties.

But Xu Jingming knew well—elites at this level were certainly not as young as they appeared.

Xu Jingming followed Moonshadow Cleric inward, soon entering a palace.

The palace was brightly lit; the ceiling frescoes depicted a vast starry sky.

Eight massive stone pillars supporting the palace were carved with various patterns and paintings.

They seemed to depict the moment the Fireseed Project was enacted in the Second Civilization Era.

The modern atmosphere vanished, replaced by profound historical weight and religious solemnity.

"Teacher, Xu Jingming has arrived."

Moonshadow Cleric led Xu Jingming to the center of the hall and bowed upward.

Above the hall sat an empty throne. As Xu Jingming wondered,

A soft hum sounded, and light swirled.

A young woman, around twenty, suddenly appeared before the throne.

She was tall and graceful, dressed in an exquisitely ornate pale gold robe.

Her lips were full and moist, her nose delicate.

Even though her eyes were gently bound by a black silk ribbon, her beauty could not be concealed.

Xu Jingming had seen many beautiful women, yet High Priestess Emers still took his breath away.

"High Priestess." Xu Jingming quickly bowed.

Among supreme elites, Zhou Yuanwu had given him only an overwhelming sense of power.

But this High Priestess, though still powerful, radiated an otherworldly aura—as if she didn't belong to this world.

He understood: this was the gap in psychic levels.

Zhou Yuanwu had an SS-grade ability; this High Priestess possessed an SSS-grade ability!

The difference in psychic levels resulted in entirely different auras.
