Unbeknownst to Lin Rui, among the many priests prostrated under the Radiant Holy Altar, was Tang Wenlan whom he had met in Wang City.
She had successfully performed her duties as High Priest in Wang City, and her cultivation had also reached a level sufficient enough, thus granting her the opportunity to come to the Main Temple for a 'pilgrimage', to meditate on the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire'.
This was the normal procedure for the promotion of Divine Sect priests, after further meditation on the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire', her cultivation would naturally progress, allowing her to ascend to dragon shedding of the Fifth Realm, becoming a Fifth Realm Priest, and officially entering the high-order sequence of Divine Office bearers!
However, Tang Wenlan was unlucky, just having arrived at the Main Temple she encountered such an event as the former King Ming's downfall, followed by the Main Temple plunging into total chaos.
