Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 57: A World of Only Moments of Hurt

Go to Red Maple City in three days... "Judgment of Paganism"?
Luo Xiu fell into deep thought.

He is quite familiar with the city of "Red Maple City".

Because, this is the "Player Main City" of the players in Songyuan Territory in the previous life;
At the same time, it is also the city where his mentor, the priest Ivan, once presided over the "ritual"!

Luo Xiu recalled the "Lord of Rodif" that Mentor Ivan had mentioned before.

Luo Xiu still remembers what the Lord of Rodif did to Ivan.

"...Red Maple City...Lord of Lodifu?"

Luo Xiu's eyes flickered, and he nodded to Priest Leonard to express his gratitude:
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master Priest."

……

Sina City Church, Holy Relic Hall.

After coming out of Priest Leonard's room, Luo Xiu came here immediately with the priest's seal.

The person on duty in the Holy Reserve Hall at this time was another trainee priest.

He glanced at the brand new "Holy Judge" emblem worn on Luo Xiu's chest, and after confirming his identity, he took the application stamp from Luo Xiu's hand.

The trainee priest asked Luo Xiu to wait outside for a while, and then he went into the Holy Storage Hall alone.

About ten minutes later, the trainee priest walked out of the Holy Storage Hall, holding a small box containing props in his hand.

"Everything you requested is here, three first-level crystals and five blank scrolls."

The priest handed the small box to Luo Xiu and said, "Leave the signature as a proof, please confirm it."

Luo Xiu then opened the small box, and three pale white, pure and transparent spiritual crystals were quietly lying on the cloth mat;
On the other side were five new blank scrolls bundled together.

After confirming that everything was correct, Luo Xiu nodded to the priest and said, "No problem, thank you... May you be blessed with eternal light."

"May you be bathed in holy light forever," the priest responded politely.

……

Luo Xiu then left the Holy Reserve Hall.

He walked out of the Sina City Church and returned to the hotel where he was staying along the main road.

He closed all the doors and windows that let in light and drew the curtains completely closed.

Then, Luo Xiu half leaned on the edge of the bed and opened his character panel.

In the "Status" column of the character panel, the word "None" is clearly visible.

And since he completed the "pledge", there has been no change in the status bar.

This shows that Luo Xiu had indeed bypassed the shackles of "taking an oath" and did not cause any adverse reactions.

He then breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

During the "oath" process, Luo Xiu used a false name, "Luo Xiu Carlos".

However, even though he used a false name, the Zhuri Xuyu Statue still responded.

This successfully hid from the eyes of everyone present.

Because this does mean that the "oath" is effective and has acted on the "person who took the oath".

However, only Luo Xiu knew that this was actually a scam.

A special sleight of hand for "taking an oath"!
This was the secret that Luo Xiu learned in his previous life only after he reached a high position in life—the secret about “swearing an oath,” “true name,” and “spirituality.”

——The true name is the direction, and spirituality is the essence. The "vow" must point to its "spiritual essence" through the "true name". These three constitute a complete chain and none of them can be missing.

Like when Connor took the oath, he shouted "I take the name of Connor Rune", which is to connect with himself through his real name, and the "oath" will directly affect Connor himself.

However, the name "Luo Xiu Carlos" also made Zhu Ri Xu Yu Statue respond...

In fact, it’s better to say it’s a “reaction” rather than a “response”!
This is like throwing a stone into the water and causing waves.

Because, long before Luo Xiu took the "vow", he had already performed the "primary prayer".

It's just a tiny, barely noticeable movement.

At that time, Luo Xiu gave Connor and Pamier the feeling of ordinary relaxation, and no one noticed anything unusual. Through "primary prayer", Luo Xiu let his own [Glorious] spirituality overflow.

After that, Luo Xiu swore again under the name "Luo Xiu Carlos".

His overflowing brilliant spirituality gave the name "Rosius Carlos" a spiritual coat.

This allows "Vow" to directly point to his overflowing spirituality when searching for "Rosius Carlos"!
And this overflowing spirituality was also separated from Luo Xiu himself and became pure "natural spirituality", attached to the name "Luo Xiu Carlos" used in the oath.

This means that the real purpose of Luo Xiu's "oath" is actually just a spiritual phantom temporarily created by him named "Luo Xiu Carlos"!
……

This was called "the obscuring dirty light" in the previous life's "God's Destiny".

In fact, among the high-ranking and extraordinary people in the "Holy Court", there are quite a few who know the principles behind it.

However, due to the extremely strict background checks of the "Holy Court", usually no one can get away with it through such means.

As for a "pledge" like Luo Xiu, who is only a second-level extraordinary being, it would not attract the attention of the top leaders at all.

What is considered "common sense" to high-level transcendents is often a taboo or secret that is completely inaccessible to low-level transcendents.

For people like Connor and Pamier, who have only two destinies, it is impossible to understand what the so-called "blinding dirty light" is.

The information about "Rosius Carlos" is quite clean, and no one would specifically suspect him.

Under such conditions, Luo Xiu was like making a false certificate in front of the statue of Xuyou...

——This is a blatant telecommunications fraud!

……

After confirming that he was not affected by the "oath", Luo Xiu opened the small box and took out three first-level spiritual crystals.

He held the crystal in his hand, meditating on the spirituality contained in the crystal, which flowed into his body like a stream.

The spiritual crystal stone tightly held in his hand began to shrink gradually like vapor as Luo Xiu meditated, and pure spirituality flowed into his limbs and bones like a stream.

Luo Xiu vaguely felt that his body could now carry more spiritual energy.

[Use "First-level Spiritual Crystal"——]

There is an upper limit to the number of spiritual crystals that can be absorbed. When the upper limit is reached for the number of spiritual crystals of each rank used, they will no longer have the function of expanding skills and skill slots.

After Luo Xiu absorbed all three "first-level spiritual crystals" that he had applied for from the church, he took out the "ancient scroll" given to him by Leonard.

After slowly unfolding the scroll and being able to clearly see the ancient text recorded in it, a new prompt popped up in front of Luo Xiu.

[Ancient Scroll Rubbings - "The Sealed Coffin (Ancient Heritage, lv.1)"]

[The experience value required for learning is 1000. Do you want to learn? ]

At this time, Luo Xiu still had more than 5,000 experience points saved.

He immediately paid a thousand experience points to learn the skill.

"--study."
