Chapter 764 - 55: Mingjiao, Maitreya, Mitra (Part 3)

"Young Master."

Cloud Veil emerged from the cabin with a respectful demeanor: "We've gathered information about the Benevolent Mother."

"The Bright Envoy of the Great Ming Honored Religion, along with the five Servant Demons, should be near Jinling."

The faith of Mingjiao centers around light and darkness.

It is also known as Mani religion, which has direct connections with the Mitra faith. Mani religion (established in the 3rd century AD) originates from the ancient Persian Mitra faith system, where Mitra is regarded as the god of light, and his worship can be traced back to the Aryan culture of 2000 BC.

Subsequently, the religion continuously evolved, absorbing and restructuring core elements of the Mitra faith (such as light worship and dualism) into Mani religion, where Mitra, in Zoroastrianism, acts as a righteous adjudicator, and in Mani religion, symbolizes the forces of light.

In the creation myth of Mani religion, Mitra is depicted as the key force (third apostle) against darkness, responsible for purifying the imprisoned light elements.

Then, Mingjiao spread to the East, further integrating Mitra with the Buddhist Maitreya Bodhisattva, forming the "Three Sacred Lights" worship system.

This is also why the Maitreya religion has a propensity for rebellion.

Additionally, the familiar Messiah has very subtle ties with Mitra. After absorbing the Mitra faith, Monotheism gradually replaced Mitra's savior identity with the Messiah.

This figure is considered a hidden powerhouse behind human history.

However, the divine format of Mitra evolved too much, resembling a divine format split. Messiah is definitely not Mitra, and Maitreya Buddha is definitely not Mitra. It's just that there's an extremely subtle connection between them.

On the merchant ship.

Cloud Veil gazed at Duncan in front of him, his expression worried: "Young Master."

"The experts of the Great Ming Honored Religion have been very active lately."

"The Bright Envoy and the five Servant Demons are top experts in the martial world. Acting alone, you might find it difficult to handle them."

"Why not wait and team up with the likes of Lu Shanjun?"

Many ants will bite an elephant to death.

Within the Great Ming Honored Religion, there are not many experts at the Dao Entrance Realm, but there are quite a few at the Innate Realm. Even if Lu Shanjun were to break into the Mingjiao's main altar, he might not be able to leave unscathed.

Moreover, the Benevolent Mother has comprehended the Secret Technique of 'Saburogana,' reportedly nearing the Dao Entrance Realm, and is thus a Grandmaster-level figure in the entire Central Plains.

The martial arts of the Great Ming Honored Religion are incredibly formidable.

The Seven Scriptures of Mani are the fundamental texts of Mingjiao, namely the 'Ultimate Knowledge of All Origins Scripture' ('Gospel of Life' or 'Great Gospel Book'), 'Treasure Store of Pure Life Scripture' ('Life's Treasure'), 'Code Scripture' ('Medicine King Scripture' or 'Apostle Book'), 'Secret Treasury Scripture' ('Secret Book'), 'Past Evidence Scripture' ('Mani Discourse'), 'Giant Warrior Scripture' ('Giant Book'), 'Praise and Wish Scripture' ('Psalms and Prayer Book').

These seven scriptures contain supreme secret techniques as well as extremely unique spiritual methods that can manipulate others' thoughts.

Using terms from a game, people can understand this as—praise the sun (brainwashing).

The followers of Mingjiao have always been staunchly fearless of death.

This is the effect of the spiritual method.

Cloud Veil, though slightly overly confident in Duncan's strength, still worries Duncan might be surrounded and killed by the experts of Mingjiao here.

"No worries."

Duncan's gaze was very calm, overlooking the distant river as he slowly spoke: "I have arrangements."

His target is not Mingjiao, nor is it the Benevolent Mother of Ming Honored Religion.

Instead, it is one of the gods of light faith of Mingjiao, the embodiment of Mitra. To conquer Mingjiao, he can only do so from top to bottom. If he doesn't receive Mitra's support, then he can only seek Eternal Heaven of the All Spirits Faith.

If that doesn't work, then, under the name of Eternal Heaven, he will sweep across the world.

Duncan does not only have one option, and besides, rumors of the Divine King descending have always been circulating in the martial world. Most likely, Mitra is preparing to bet on him.

He can be the Divine King.

If he is not the Divine King, then there is no need for Mingjiao to exist!

This account, he is determined to clear it.
