Relying solely on incense offerings, one attains the rank of Fifth Grade; if the ritual method is further applied, it might pave the way to the rank of Fourth Grade.
Fourth-rank True God!
Although Qingping Temple and Qingye Temple also have Fourth-rank True Gods, this isn't a chess game where one can easily exchange pieces.
Not to mention exchanging, neither side is willing to suffer injuries in exchange for life.
Divine beings are immortal, they seek longevity and vision; following the dragon is to gain benefits and progress further, why would anyone sacrifice their own life for it?
Thus...
"Who taught him this ritual method?"
"The Jinyang City God?"
"What is his real intention?"
A monk and a Daoist frowned deeply, completely puzzled.
But soon they realized.
"No matter what, we cannot let him have his way!"
"How can a Fifth Grade deity be qualified to receive this grand sacrifice? Such transgression is a capital crime!"
