Chapter 168.

Holy City, below a certain ancient cathedral, in a spacious underground space.

As the location of the headquarters of the Shepherds, which had not been established for a long time, but was well-funded and had countless people who wanted to join for various purposes.

Bishop Jon sat in his office flipping through the ancient collection of books provided from the Coronet.

He hoped to be able to find the true legacy left behind by the Holy City from these collections.

Unfortunately, he had found nothing during this period of time.

If it wasn’t for the stigmata left in the palm of his hand that was clearly informing him that everything was not a dream.

He might have thought that he was lost between reality and dreams, mistaking the angels in his dreams for the real thing.

Knock-knock!

“Come in.”

Bishop Jon heard the knock on the door and didn’t look up but just returned it.

Instantly, the wooden door painted with many runes slowly opened, and a priest clad in black robes painted with red lines and decorations walked over with a determined gaze.

After saluting Bishop Jon, he placed a thick stack of information on Bishop Jon’s desktop.

For the sake of tradition and preventing leaks, as well as to take care of some of the department’s personnel who were not compatible with information technology operations.

The Shepherd’s Department used paper information most of the time.

“Bishop, this is the report of our investigation of the twelve hundred and fifty unusual incidents reported by the churches in each location this week.”

“Of those, twelve hundred and forty-nine were judged to be caused by the patients themselves.”

“Hm?”

Bishop Jon suddenly eeped after nodding slightly:

“What’s the other one?”

“It was the local church priest who was bribed to falsify the evidence.”

A hint of anger flashed in the black-robed priest’s eyes:

“We’ve taken him to the dungeon.”

“Strip him of his gifts and transfer him to the relevant authorities.”

Bishop Jon said this, and could feel the black-robed priest’s dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

Just …… now the Holy Bishop can only be considered the largest branch of the Western Church when all is said and done.

It was long gone from the time a thousand years ago when they were saying one thing or another.

And now that they have not found their own transcendent inheritance, many times it is still necessary to do business as usual.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the black-robed priest who was loyal to the Holy Lord to retire.

Bishop Jon sighed and looked at the stack of information.

After the Shepherds were established, they did nothing but take their blood and wait for the angels to descend.

Naturally, they didn’t do nothing.

At least Bishop Jon’s old job, the investigation of extraordinary events, still had to continue.

And as transcendent events appeared everywhere and caused a frenzy on the internet.

Bishop Jon found that the number of incidents in Europa claiming to be possessed by demons, or dreaming of demons and being threatened, had also increased dramatically!

In response, Bishop Jon, who had rich experience in exorcism, naturally understood.

In the times when Transcendence was not visible, there would be patients who had psychotic episodes thinking they were possessed by demons just because they watched related movies or books.

Not to mention now when Transcendence was proven to exist.

Only, so far.

Bishop Jon hadn’t encountered a single case of true demonic invasion.

“The number of incidents lately has become a bit abnormal, and a lot of this should be the handiwork of the major intelligence agencies.”

“The number of priests and nuns who have been bribed or threatened shouldn’t be small these days either.”

“Damn it!”

Thinking of his own powerlessness, Bishop Jon couldn’t help but messily scratch his hair, which had already grayed considerably, a few times.

He then didn’t have the heart to look at the stack of information, and instead stood up and passed through the secret door behind the wall, entering into the hidden underground passage.

In this passageway, he could lean on the one-way glass and observe the training of the Shepherd reservists who were training in the various underground spaces.

After realizing that the world truly had the existence of transcendent powers.

As the Holy City that had grasped a large amount of mystical knowledge underpinning it, it was naturally impossible to do nothing.

Even knowing that it was filled with intelligence personnel from other powers could not be helped.

Inside these underground rooms.

Priests or nuns, were training according to different cultivation methods.

Some were observing angels on their knees after performing tedious rituals.

Some, after performing a long fast, stared with their eyes at candles or inscriptions or statues representing angels and kept chanting mantras silently.

Others, even restarted the Holy Spirit Sect’s cultivation method that had been ordered to be banned hundreds of years ago.

Compared to the Holy Spirit Sect, other cultivation sects are child’s play.

Because this school looked like evil sorcerers and practiced like evil sorcerers.

It was a cultivation sect that dealt with the undead and the devils in hell.

The information revealed in the ancient records of the Holy City showed that.

The great Holy City was relying on the power of several saints of this faction, which was able to retain its life in several great upheavals and fight for the opportunity to compromise with the other side.

Just …… a few hundred years ago, the last Holy Spirit Faction saint summoned an ancient existence to have an accident, and when he was about to die, he left his last words, letting the coronation at that time declare a ban on the cultivation.

From then on this cultivation method was also put on the back burner, until now it was brought back out again.

It couldn’t be helped, as far as the current transcendent information left behind in the Holy City was concerned.

This cultivation method was the most mysterious, and because it was quite recent, it was recorded in the most detail.

Not only were there incantations and methods on how to communicate with the undead and summon ancient existences.

It also left behind the cultivation experiences and thoughts of several saints.

If this is also false …… wouldn’t it be that the hundreds of priests and even bishops …… who practiced this spell hundreds of years ago were lying!

If it were before, Bishop Jon would have been as inclined to be right as the Coronation, and that’s what they did.

Because this is the result of the combined effect of the interests and the minds of the people at that time, it is not incomprehensible.

But now, even if it was a forbidden power, Bishop Jon hoped that someone could really grasp it!

Thinking in this way.

Bishop Jon suddenly stumbled slightly.

But the sacred music that he had heard that night came to his ears.

Bishop Jon, who realized what was going on, hurriedly jogged up and returned to his room.

With trembling hands, he took out the blood sample inventory from the cryogenic safe.

And Su Ping, who had finally remembered that there was still this bishop’s blood samples that had not been collected.

Also after relying on riding Big Black to arrive at the bottom of the sea at a fast pace, he called out the spirit rats and let them explore the Holy City after hitting the invisibility talisman.

After seeing that Bishop Jon was so understanding, he immediately took the samples after hearing his hint.

With a faint smile, Su Ping activated the Cave in the Pot and extended an invitation to this Bishop Jon.

In the blink of an eye.

Bishop Jon, who had accepted the invitation, appeared in the black mist under the formation.

He couldn’t see or hear anything in the black mist.

However, he didn’t panic, he just took two steps back after putting down the samples and closed his eyes to recite the passage in the scripture that he must not look directly at, listen to, or blaspheme ……

Bishop Jon felt that the darkness in front of him was an angel’s protection!

After all, he was still just a mortal, and looking directly at a divine being could cause him incurable injuries.

In the black mist, Su Ping took out the bloodline tablet.

Under a movement of divine sense, in the sample left behind by Bishop Jon, a small test tube was opened, and a drop of blood gathered into a small river of blood that did not enter the body of the Blood Vein Stone Plate.

Then, this time …… the blood vein stone plate finally emerged a light.

Su Ping looked at the light this time but his heart moved.

Because the spirit body that appeared in the blood vein stone plate was displayed as a natural affinity spirit body.

This spirit body belonged to a slightly less rare spirit body in the Immortal Cultivation World.

In the Red Iris Immortal Sect, there existed such a spirit body cultivator.

Rumor had it that the elder who had solved the problem of scaling up the breeding of hollow rats had an advanced version of this spirit body.

Su Ping did not have the luxury of producing an elder-level figure like that to help him work.

It was enough to have a low level nature affinity spirit body that could speed up the planting time of the spiritual fields and increase the efficiency of planting.

It just so happened that with the expansion of the Cave in the Pot, the two additional peaks, in addition to the main building but also a lot of empty space.

From the Immortal Cultivation World, bring back some spiritual soil and water, plus the more abundant spiritual qi in the Pot Cave Heaven.

Open up dozens of acres of spiritual fields, to ensure that their spiritual rice freedom still have a chance!

Or even be bold enough to get some spiritual plants and grow vegetable-type spiritual plants that are not contaminated by evil qi.

I’m sure it will be quite popular in those large shopping centers, right?

Those high and mighty inner sects, true disciples, really don’t want to taste other spirit food in addition to top quality spirit pills, spirit rice and spirit wine?

“Well done, you have not forgotten your responsibilities.”

Su Ping slowly opened his mouth, and with the help of the spell, the voice directly resounded in Bishop Jon’s mind.

At the same time, the Avatar’s small hand moved.

The Stigmata of the Cross emerged from Bishop Jon’s brow.

Along with the appearance of this stigmata.

Su Ping used his Divine Sense to slightly help Bishop Jon clear the large amount of blockage in his body, and introduced the surrounding spiritual qi to pour into the other party’s body along the location of the stigmata in the center of his eyebrows.

He also guided the contents of the jade slip that recorded a kind of side method to follow into Bishop Jon’s mind.

Letting him instinctively begin to exhale and breathe in accordance with the contents of the jade slip, receiving the transformation of the spiritual qi on his body and the rapid growth of his divine soul after being stimulated for the first time.

At this point, Su Ping nodded slightly to confirm that the effort had not been in vain.

Although Bishop Jon was a bit older, he at least had inferior spiritual roots.

Relying on his own assistance, he was barely considered to have practiced qi into his body.

He had the qualifications to learn and utilize that one sidetrack spell.

Just, waiting for him to go back without aura wasn’t a thing.

After thinking about it.

Su Ping took out a ring-shaped pendant type spell.

With a movement of divine sense, the Spirit Gathering Formation in this type of lower grade magic weapon turned into a Spirit Storage and Slow Release Formation.

Although it had lost a few of its original minor functions.

However, it also had the additional function of slowly releasing the stored spiritual qi.

The power is not high, but it is just right to be used in a spiritless environment like Aquamarine Planet to satisfy the needs of a loose cultivator’s magic.

The lower-grade magic weapon that was filled with spiritual qi was directly inserted into Bishop Jon’s chest.

Instantly, a ring-shaped stigma also appeared in the center of this Bishop Jon’s chest.

After doing this.

Su Ping informed him of the number of the person who had found a spiritual body through multiple tests.

Only then did he see off the grateful Bishop Jon who closed his eyes and disappeared into the black mist.

Underground space, in the bishop’s room.

After Bishop Jon sensed that he had returned.

Only then did he dare to open his eyes and saw the familiar room arrangement.

He didn’t immediately get up and call for help, but instead stood up and rubbed his head that was suffering from a headache due to being forcefully infused with knowledge.

Slowly, he looked towards the mirror.

Immediately.

This almost sixty year old bishop was stunned.

He in the mirror.

His face was flushed and his skin was fair and lustrous.

Eyes with a bright light, the whole person …… returned to his forty year old appearance.

Even more than at that time, he was more energetic and full of damn charm!
