Peace and serenity. As soon as Xinzi's flash of holy force blew past them, the 3rd and 29th Horde's leaders all felt a sense of peace and serenity sweep through their souls and quiet their ire. The will to fight left their body, replaced by an irresistible need to kneel and pray alongside the Ascendant that blessed them with his presence.
'This is...the Karmic Order. You gotta be kidding me. How did one so young become an Ascendant?' Unlike her subordinates, though Holy-Road wise she was only an Enlightened Monk, Zhiji Jing could rely on her Holy Beast Sovereign cultivation to preserve her will to fight.
One must know that while they each followed their personal Creeds of Liberation, due to the precepts, mantras and sutras that they all had to master before establishing their paths, all Lianist monks had certain abilities in common.
For example, Enlightened Monks or above could all use the Mantra of Prurient Madness to get glimpses into the future.
Enjoy!
