After a tedious climb up the stairs, everyone reached the highest step of the Ten Thousand People Staircase more than an hour later.
They immediately saw a man in purple-gold armor scolding a team of Knight Palace knights.
Looking at the attire of those Knight Palace knights, there were Blue Star, Silver Moon, and Golden Radiance Knight.
The only one who could scold the Knight Palace knights like that was Hall Master Hailong.
The arrival of the China Team did not attract much attention from Hailong; he merely glanced at Jiang Yuan and Instructor Pang in the team before continuing his lecture.
The China Team had nowhere else to go, and no one came to greet them.
Everyone could only stand aside and wait, not feeling any hospitality from the Pathenon Temple.
Or rather, they simply did not value the National Government Competition champion.
Such was the arrogance of the Pathenon Temple.
After half a day, Hailong finally finished his lecture.
However, he still showed no welcome, said a few words, and then left, leaving a Golden Radiance Knight, Hashir, to entertain the China Team.
The reason was simple: Hailong had been beaten by Instructor Pang when he was young, so it would be strange if he had a good attitude.
"Excuse me, when can we perform the Divine Seal Blessing?" Feng Li asked.
"Hall Mother Pamir is very busy with matters recently, and I'm not sure about the exact time for the Divine Seal Blessing. Please stay here for now, and I will come to inform you when it can be performed," Golden Radiance Knight Hashir said.
Since they said there was no time for now, they could only stay for the time being.
Everyone entered a palace courtyard under Hashir's guidance.
After settling them, Hashir did not leave but stayed at the entrance, not leaving for a moment.
The China Team members were also told not to move around freely; their main activity areas were the Knight Palace and the garden area behind it.
They waited for two full days, but the Hall Mother still did not appear.
Instructor Pang couldn't help but personally find the Vice Hall Master of the Knight Palace to urge him.
Another two days passed, and the busy Hall Mother Pamir finally arrived at the Knight Palace.
The Divine Seal Blessing that everyone had been longing for was finally about to begin.
Unfortunately, the location for the Divine Seal Blessing was not on Pathenon Mountain, nor in Athens at the foot of the mountain, but on a peak in the Mediterranean Sea.
There was a Praise Altar and a place for meditation set up there.
"Remember to meditate for a month immediately after the Divine Seal Blessing. During this period, you cannot use magic, and you must fully ensure that the Light Element of the Divine Seal Blessing remains in your body. Only then can the Divine Seal Blessing exert its maximum effect," Feng Li specifically instructed everyone before the praise.
The Light Element of the Divine Seal Blessing was the same, but the specific effect was related to the level of the caster and the absorption of the recipient.
As the greatest contributor to winning the championship, Jiang Yuan had to be the first to receive the praise.
Hall Mother Pamir stood on the Praise Altar, with sunlight flowing over her body, as if she was draped in a sacred robe, radiating brilliance all over.
She murmured, and a song-like whisper softly echoed in everyone's ears.
Jiang Yuan stood opposite her, his face expressionless in his over-frequency state, showing no emotion.
After all, Hall Mother Pamir's true identity was the Black Vatican Pope, as cunning as they come; a slight hint of abnormality would be discovered.
The Divine Seal Blessing officially began.
The Divine Seal Blessing could only take effect on one magic system, requiring full concentration to gather the light of Light Element on the stars of that magic system.
Jiang Yuan had long decided to apply the Light Element of the Divine Seal Blessing to his Water System.
The light was warm and dazzling, and Hall Mother Pamir frowned; her Light Element System was actively delivery energy towards Jiang Yuan.
In half a minute, it reached the highest 3x Light Element of the Divine Seal Blessing, but it was still continuously delivery.
Pamir looked at Jiang Yuan curiously, not interrupting the energy delivery; she wanted to see how much energy Jiang Yuan would absorb.
Ultimately, to Pamir's shocked gaze, over ninety percent of the Light Element System energy in her body was consumed!
It could be said that it was almost completely depleted!
"Interesting, truly interesting," Pamir's expression instantly turned into a smile, and she nodded gently.
Jiang Yuan looked up, still expressionless, but his heart was full of questions.
Because after the energy of the Divine Seal Blessing entered his spiritual space, a small part boosted the Water System, and the rest gathered together to form a bright and sacred light source occupying a corner of the space.
No matter how he pulled with his spiritual power, the light cluster remained motionless.
Something was very wrong, extremely wrong.
"I need to rest for a while; let the others wait."
Pamir said to the female sage beside her and entered a meditation room to restore her Light Element System energy.
Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, entered another room to let the Divine Seal Blessing imprint of the Water System permanently remain on the stars.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to wait at the Praise Altar.
Half a day later, the Hall Mother came out to continue Light Element the China Team members.
Inside the meditation room.
Jiang Yuan discovered another strange thing: the Divine Seal Blessing energy on the Water System stars had not weakened at all, always maintaining a threefold boost.
Even if he did not deliberately interfere, it was still the same!
Jiang Yuan had initially suspected that Hall Mother Pamir had done something, but seeing this scene completely dispelled his doubts.
Not to mention Pamir, even if Xinxia, who completely mastered the Divine Soul, performed the Divine Seal Blessing, such a situation would not occur.
The Light Element System does not belong to the control of the Holy City, nor does it belong to the control of the Dark Plane.
It belongs to the goddess Athena.
Could it be related to Athena?
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, but fortunately, Athena was a good goddess, unlike the Heavenly Father of the Holy City, so he could be much more at ease.
Of course, the necessary vigilance would absolutely not be less.
No one knew what this ascended goddess was thinking.
......
......
A month passed, and the China Team gradually finished their meditation.
However, some team members continued to stay inside to cultivate, including Mo Fan.
At this time, there was still some time until the Pathenon Temple's Petal Festival.
Everything was still calm.
Jiang Yuan walked out of the meditation room and found a group of National Government Mentors.
"I need a star sea heavenly vein now."
Instructor Pang looked at Jiang Yuan in front of him: "You want to break through to Super-Level here?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "I am ready; my state has been adjusted to the best now, which is the best time to break through."
Although the mentors knew that all resources had been prepared for Jiang Yuan, they didn't expect Jiang Yuan to ask for a star sea heavenly vein so quickly.
"The domestic star sea heavenly vein has been prepared for you, but if you want it now, it definitely won't be delivered in a short while."
Instructor Pang also didn't want to miss the best breakthrough opportunity Jiang Yuan mentioned, so he thought for a moment and said: "I will help you coordinate a star sea heavenly vein to come over; give me half a day."
As his voice fell, he immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.
