Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

Condon Manor, banquet hall.

The golden light column gradually disappeared, and a huge golden sphere appeared in the air.

Chen Xian's golden mask shattered and fell, revealing his face. The violent energy just hit him, and his blood surged, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. All the white-robed maids in the formation fainted, but the Pope still stood firmly in the field. He glared at Chen Xian, ignoring the fainted white-robed maids, and focused his eyes on the golden sphere in the air.

Feeling the sacred breath emanating from the golden sphere, the Pope reverently put away his staff, put his hands together on his forehead, closed his eyes and prayed.

Chen Xian looked at the Pope's actions with a complicated expression, put away the 7th-level wind magic crystal, and looked up at the golden sphere in the air. Li Ya should still be inside, and he didn't know what the situation was. When he was outputting wind energy with all his strength just now, he entered a state of ecstasy and didn't know what happened.

Everyone present stood up and followed the Pope's actions, praying to the golden orb.

Only Chen Xian stood blankly on the stage. He had no faith in the Holy See, nor did he understand the faith of this world. He only cared about Li Ya's safety.

After the Pope finished praying, he saw that only Chen Xian did not pray, so he shouted: "How dare you! Why don't you worship after seeing a miracle?"

The loud shout woke everyone up.

"Who is this? How dare he blaspheme the miracle?"

"This is a great disrespect to the God of Light. Execute him."

"Execute him."

……

Everyone shouted.

Chen Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling very depressed. You worship your gods, and if others don't worship you, you will execute them. How overbearing, how barbaric, how ignorant.

"Catch him," the Pope ordered the knight guards.

Two tall knights came over and held Chen Xian's hands down. Chen Xian wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and had no strength left in his body. He let the two knights hold him and looked at the Pope quietly.

"Execute him."

"Execute him."

The people below were still shouting.

The Pope raised his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"This person just tried to help, but he didn't follow orders and kept inputting wind energy, trying to disrupt the ceremony and wake him up." The Pope looked at the people around him. Some people were excited and shouted to execute Chen Xian. The Pope signaled everyone to be quiet again and continued, "Fortunately, the God of Light protected us, and I controlled the formation to ensure the stability of the energy of the ceremony. Now a miracle has occurred, and this person is not worshipping devoutly and disrespecting the God of Light. He should be punished and sentenced..."

"Wait." The Pope was interrupted by an old voice before he could finish his words.

The old dean, who was emitting a soft glow, landed on the stage. At this moment, he was wearing a white robe. On the back of the robe, there were two dazzling sun symbols arranged vertically and side by side.

“This is a saint.”

"Don't be ridiculous. There are only five saints in the entire continent. They are all guarding various countries. How could they appear here?"

"Didn't you see the two-day sky pattern on the robe?"

"Oh my god, it's really a saint. Could it be the Saint of Light Dilio who has been in seclusion for a long time?"

……

Some people in the audience recognized the old man and started talking in low voices.

The Pope felt the powerful light energy emanating from Dilio and was shocked, but as the Pope of the Holy See, the number one power in the continent, he could not retreat. Calming himself, the Pope saluted Dilio and said, "Greetings, Saint Dilio. I wonder why you stopped the Holy See from punishing this man?"

Emperor Tian Qing also stood up and saluted Dilio.

Dilio waved his hand to signal the emperor to excuse himself from the formalities. He looked at the Pope with a calm expression and said, "The Tianqing Empire is a country with laws. If you want to judge a person guilty, you also need to listen to the statement of the person being judged. What do you think, Your Holiness?"

The Pope was suspicious. It was obvious that Dilio was trying to protect the young man. No matter what, the evidence was clear in front of everyone. Even if he was a saint, he couldn't distort the facts in front of everyone. So the Pope said calmly, "What the saint said is right, so let him speak."

The Pope came to Chen Xian, signaled the knight guard to let go, and said to him: "Just now in the magic circle, I told you to slow down the energy input. Why didn't you listen to my instructions and still input at full strength? Do you want to disrupt the ceremony?"

Chen Xian shook his arm that was being escorted by the force, and said calmly: "When did His Holiness the Pope tell me to slow down the transportation? I only heard the Pope say that I should do my best, and he kept urging me to do my best. I think everyone present heard this."

"Yes, I also heard His Holiness the Pope say that we must do our best."

"Yes, His Holiness the Pope urged us in the middle."

……

Dilio smiled, looked at the Pope, and then looked at Emperor Tianqing. The emperor understood and said, "Saint, this young man is right. I also heard His Highness the Pope say that he was going to use all his strength. When he urged me halfway, I was ready to ask Master Wendou for help, but he refused."

The Pope said angrily, "Emperor Tian Qing, that's what I said before. After the wind energy was sufficient, I asked him to slow down, but he didn't listen. It's clear that he has ulterior motives."

Emperor Tian Qing said sincerely, "The wind energy overflowed at that time. In order to prevent it from affecting everyone, Master Wen Dou set up a barrier outside you. We didn't hear anything." What a joke, the person our Tian Qing Empire Saint wants to protect, your Holy See also wants to kill him in the Tian Qing Empire. This person is a young man that the Saint has taken a fancy to.

The Pope was suddenly speechless and looked at the knight guards he brought with him. They all nodded, confirming that what Emperor Tian Qing said was true.

"Your Holiness, you see that the voices in the barrier are blocked. No one knows what you said, and no one knows whether you said anything or not. But before this, you did ask this young man to output all his energy. Moreover, he generously took out the 7th level magic crystal to help the Church complete the ceremony. This behavior is so selfless and noble. Why did you kill him? Is there something in him that is worth you distorting the facts?"

"No way, His Holiness the Pope would like this kid."

"Looking at his ordinary clothes, the only thing valuable is the 7th-level magic crystal he just took out."

"Yes, there aren't many rank 7 magic crystals in the entire continent. Could it be that His Holiness the Pope has taken a fancy to one of these..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, that's the Pope, you're going to die."

……

Hearing the discussions in the audience, the Pope looked at Dilio with some anger. Public opinion was guided by his last sentence.

The person involved, Chen Xian, was smiling at Dilio. This old man was really good and was an expert at controlling public opinion.

“Your Excellency Saint, even if no one can hear our voices in the barrier, everyone has seen that he did not salute the miracle just now. This is a blasphemy against the God of Light.” The Pope immediately seized on the charge of blasphemy.

"Everyone was praying devoutly just now. No one should have seen whether he was praying or not. If someone saw him while he was praying, then watching others while they were praying is also disrespectful and an act of blasphemy against the God of Light. Should he be executed as well?" After saying this, Dilio looked at everyone in the hall.

No one spoke out to directly point out that there were no prayers. But everyone was not stupid, and if they pointed the finger, they would also be accused of blasphemy.

The Pope saw that everyone was misled by Dilio's words again and did not dare to speak. He was furious, but he did not dare to get angry at Dilio. He could only look at Chen Xian angrily.

Chen Xian shrugged, looked at the golden ball of light, and learned to pray, but he thought in his heart, screw the God of Light, I'm just praying for Li Ya.

The Pope saw him praying and laughed happily. "You see, he is praying now, which means he didn't pray before. Isn't this blasphemy?"

Dilio frowned slightly on his calm face and looked at Chen Xian. This kid is very smart, why is he being so stupid now?

After Chen Xian finished praying, he glanced at the smiling Pope, turned around and said to the crowd, "I did not pray just now, but this does not mean that I am blaspheming God. I was just shocked by this miracle, and my mind was blank at the time, and I didn't know what to do. If mortals like me are guilty of being shocked by the power of the God of Light, then I am indeed guilty of a heinous crime. I think so many people here must have been shocked by the miracle like me. It is because we are extremely pious in our hearts that we are extremely shocked when we see the miracle."

After saying this, he saw many people in the hall nodding silently, then Chen Xian looked at Dilio and winked.

Dilio nodded but cursed in his heart, this brat was really foolproof. What he did just now not only made people feel that he was honest, but also found a convincing reason for some people who did not pray or did not pray with peace of mind, and won their hearts.

Emperor Tian Qing also nodded with satisfaction. This man's character was indeed remarkable. He could accept him being with Li Ya. However, thinking that after the ceremony, Li Ya would be taken away by the Vatican, he felt grief in his heart. At the same time, it also deepened his determination to eradicate the influence of the Vatican in the empire.

“See? The person this prince likes is so honest. She admitted in front of the Pope that she didn’t pray just now.” Prince Agu said proudly to the veiled woman behind him, but he got a contemptuous look in her eyes.

Just when the Pope was helpless and could not punish Chen Xian with any soft or hard methods, a golden light shot in from the huge hole in the roof, and a sacred aura even more intense than the golden light ball filled the entire hall.

The Pope saw the figure in the golden light clearly. The five pairs of huge white wings were extremely eye-catching. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and shouted excitedly, "Welcome, Archangel."

Dilio looked at the archangel, his pupils contracted, and he said in horror: "Ten-winged angel."
