The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

The young man looked at the obsequious teacher and immediately found it ridiculous.

The being that issued the commands to them was, at best, merely a subordinate of a god, and not worthy of such respect.

He had a pair of magical eyes from a young age, and with these eyes, he transcended social class from an ordinary child to become a disciple of a cardinal in the Church of Light.

In the world he saw, in addition to normal colors and shapes, he could also see the aura emanating from different objects.

This energy comes in various colors, and the more powerful the being, the denser the energy it emits. Even if there is only a connection, one can still see the related energy.

When he first saw the statue, he observed a massive cloud of energy as vast as the blazing sun, and at the same time, he also saw an ordinary cloud of energy that was much smaller.

During prayer, one might see the energy of faith surging towards a massive mass of energy, while during communication and exchange, it is the ordinary mass of energy that generates the activity.

The cardinal said sternly, "How can you be so disrespectful before God? Hurry up..."

"enough!"

"What?" The cardinal looked at his prized disciple in surprise.

His disciple possessed unparalleled talent in perceiving the existence of deities, even surpassing his predecessors.

“I said, that’s enough! Teacher, nothing you’re doing here is visible to either the gods or their minions! What we should be doing now is arresting the thieves who are watching the show over there!”

Li Xuan and Baili Muyun, who were observing the situation: ...

Li Xuan asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. I've clearly disguised myself. Whether it's the lighting or my aura, I'm no different from the people around me!"

Baili Muyun said urgently, "Hey, stop doubting your abilities. They're practically pointing their finger at you. What are you standing there for?"

The cardinal looked in the direction his disciple was pointing, but the area was empty; not a single person could be seen.

"You mean the thief is standing right in front of us?"

The cardinal subconsciously ignored the content about the gods and focused all his attention on the thief in front of him.

After all, it was his own disciple who said those words, so no matter how outrageous he found them, he wouldn't just sit idly by.

"Men, conduct a thorough search over there, form a human wall, and don't leave a single gap!"

Soon, a group of knights in armor entered the church and began searching steadily in the direction indicated by the bishop.

Baili Muyun urged, "I've almost finished collecting the data here, we can leave now. If we don't leave soon, we'll be chased by these natives again!"

Li Xuan nodded and immediately turned and ran towards the back.

The young man immediately shouted, "They've started moving! They're running in the opposite direction!"

The cardinal glanced at his disciple and then shouted, "Advance quickly and stop them!"

While giving instructions, he was also chanting incantations.

As he raised his staff, a dazzling light instantly filled the entire church.

"Show yourself in the light, you thief!"

Li Xuan was initially worried that he might have to fight these people for a while before he could escape, but when he saw them start using their skills, he smiled knowingly and instantly revealed himself.

Li Xuan shouted sarcastically, "Hahaha, thanks for the assist!"

Just as the cardinal sensed something was wrong, the light emanating from his staff suddenly went out of control, began to expand rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it broke free from his control and erupted with even more terrifying power, blinding everyone present.

Even the young man with naturally keen eyesight was affected by this sudden change and couldn't open his eyes for a while.

"Ah! My lord, we are ready to fight to the death, why have you surrendered first?"

Baili Muyun, seeing Li Xuan playing tricks, reminded him, "Stop messing around! We only have one last objective left. Hurry up and finish it so we can end our journey in this world!"

Li Xuan had some doubts, but he didn't ask them directly. Instead, he led Baili Muyun through the crowd and escaped the scene of the crime.

After a long while, the light emanating from the cardinal gradually faded.

The young man sensed it immediately, but Li Xuan had already run far away, and even he could only see the direction Li Xuan had left in.

The cardinal soon regained his sight and said indignantly, "Damn it! If the war hadn't been so tense in the capital of the Golden Rooster Kingdom, and if the divine beings and His Holiness the Pope hadn't gone there, how could we have allowed such thieves to commit evil in the Church?"

The young man looked in the direction Li Xuan had left and said calmly, "They fled that way, but..."

The cardinal immediately began organizing his men: "Everyone, be alert! That thief escaped in this direction. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must catch him!"

"Wait, the Fourth Knights, don't move. Stay here and take care of the follow-up matters regarding the statue."

The young man shook his head slightly, turned around, and left the scene.

Although he was a member of the church, his personal strength was limited, and apart from his special eyes, he had no other strengths.

The bishop noticed his disciple was about to leave and grabbed him, asking, "Where are you going?"

youth:"……"

"I want to help the knights who are searching. After all, they might not be able to find the criminal even if he is right next to them."

"No!" the bishop refused without even thinking.

He then gave his reasons: "You're still too inexperienced. Most of the church's strong members are still out there, and no one is protecting you. What if something happens to you?"

Ultimately, at the bishop's insistence, the young man stayed on to oversee the handling of the idol.

……

Li Xuan led Baili Muyun and ran for a distance. The effect of the flashbang seemed to be terrifyingly good, and no pursuers had caught up with them yet.

Now, he had a moment to ask the question he had wanted to ask earlier: "Baili Muyun, you just said there's only one target left. Does that mean we don't need to go to the Church of Darkness or the Church of Life?"

Baili Muyun replied, "You should understand one principle: where there is light, there is darkness. This is an unchanging truth in the universe. Therefore, we only need to look at one of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness. At this time, the gods of light and darkness must be together, so we only need to go to the Church of Life to complete the puzzle!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but nod: "I've learned something new."

"That's right, this can actually be considered a type of paid message, but it's mostly used to fool new reincarnators."

Li Xuan shrugged and said helplessly, "You've given me so much information about the payment process so many times, I was almost starting to think you had some other plan."

Fearing that Li Xuan might misunderstand and that this could directly affect the progress of the subsequent plan, Baili Muyun directly explained: "Don't worry about that. In fact, most of the paid information I provide can be obtained through some inquiries. Some can even be learned by simply mingling among the reincarnators for a period of time."

"Therefore you don't need to worry at all about any additional cost for the extra information I give you."
