Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Chris looked away from the unusual obsidian.

He looked at Logan, pondering what the other had just said.

The other party just mentioned something called a spirit awakening ritual.

The first book about occult rituals that Chris saw at the astrology booth contained a section on a ritual called the Awakening Ritual in its first three pages.

This seems to be a ritual that allows people to enter a world called the Protoss.

Those who have successfully entered the Protoss world can activate their Spirit Vision.

Chris understood at that moment.

He had just used the power of the key to dispel the negative effects that the other party had placed on his spiritual level, making Logan believe that he had completed an awakening ritual and had gained spiritual vision.

Chris is indeed able to activate his psychic vision, but he did not do so by completing an initiation ritual to enter the so-called Protoss world.

Regarding that Protoss world, Chris guessed that it was very likely the starry world beneath that lake.

Only in this way can we explain why he also activated his spiritual vision.

Is it possible to resist the spiritual influences exerted by the other party simply by activating spiritual vision?

Chris asked, puzzled.

He still lacks sufficient knowledge in this area.

He didn't dare to use his spiritual vision to directly examine Logan's situation, so he used the power of the key to dispel the negative thought of wanting to donate more money.

Based on Logan's reaction, Chris wondered if it was possible to counteract the spiritual influences exerted on him by others once he activated his spiritual vision.

He had many questions in his mind.

But Chris knew that Logan was not someone he could trust to ask these questions.

After a moment's thought, Chris decided to decline the invitation extended to him to join the Church of Obsidian Tongue as a full member.

He didn't know much about this church, and the Holy Spirit they worshipped was not one of the four officially recognized Holy Spirits.

Although the other party seemed to have a considerable background, Chris had too many secrets. The more powerful the organization was, the less he dared to get involved with it.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Deacon Logan, but unfortunately, I have no interest in joining the church." Chris explained with an apologetic expression, "Not just your church, but I have no intention of joining any church at all."

"I'm just an ordinary person who's an enthusiast of the occult."

"Studying the occult is just a way for me to pass the time."

Chris didn't take the special obsidian. He nodded slightly to Logan and subtly took a half-step back.

Logan held up the small box containing the fragments of the Holy Relic, his smile becoming somewhat stiff.

But he still smiled at Chris and continued, "I fully understand Chris's concerns."

"I had the same concerns before I joined the Church of Obsidian Tongue."

Logan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chris as he continued, "Fellow believer Chris should know very well that studying the occult is not a cheap hobby."

"Many esoteric knowledge, even just common sense, requires a lot of money to acquire."

"Many of the materials and tools used in mysticism are often quite valuable."

"Not to mention some more secret knowledge that money can't buy."

Logan stopped there.

He looked at Chris, mentally assessing the man's worth.

The other party was able to complete the spirit awakening ritual and successfully activate their spiritual vision, so they were indeed worth recruiting.

The existence of the Obsidian Tongue Church is itself the result of a group of extraordinary individuals who were excluded from the official system coming together to huddle together for warmth.

His purpose in joining the church was very clear: to acquire more knowledge of mysticism.

Especially the legendary sacred path cultivation method that truly divides the mortal and the extraordinary.

Logan had been incredibly excited ever since he heard the news from a mid-level member of the Obsidian Tongue Church.

In order to accumulate enough contributions to exchange for the Holy Path from the church, Logan had been conducting evangelistic meetings to develop ordinary believers.

For the church's middle and upper echelons, this kind of activity is thankless and exhausting, but for Logan, it is the most important way for him to accumulate contribution points.

He received a promise from a mid-level church official.

Once his contribution reaches 10000 points, the other party will recommend him to enter the middle level of the Obsidian Tongue Church and become a priest. At that time, he will be eligible to apply to the church for a way to embark on the holy path.

Inviting a member like Chris, who has developed clairvoyance, yields a far greater contribution than developing ordinary believers.

Although Chris was already a follower recruited by Colin, this did not conflict with recruiting him back into the church as a full member.

Logan left his words at that, believing that Chris, someone who had awakened his clairvoyance on his own, was perfectly aware of his meaning.

Chris did indeed sense the hidden meaning in the other person's words.

It seems that the background of the Obsidian Tongue Church is even more powerful than he imagined.

It's quite possible that the other party has a holy path leading to the throat of the Holy Spirit's ley lines.

However, Chris couldn't be sure whether this Logan was a Saint Walker.

He still didn't dare to use his spiritual vision to observe the other party here.

Studying the occult did cost more money than Chris had imagined, but he had his own ways of acquiring occult knowledge.

In that mysterious space, beneath the surface of the lake, countless stars filled the sky.

After reading part of the initiation ritual, Chris roughly understood that the two stars he had pulled from the starry sky to the mysterious space were actually special beings called astral spirits.

Each astral body corresponds to a real life form.

In other words, the Holy Path of the Echo Wall that Chris obtained actually came from an extraordinary person who was walking on this Holy Path.

After Chris realized that the other person was someone living in the same world as him, many thoughts immediately flooded his mind.

But these ideas can only be confirmed when he fully recovers his spirituality and enters that mysterious space again.

"Excuse me, Deacon Logan, please allow me to consider it."

Chris thought for a moment, then suddenly changed his tune and did not directly refuse the other party again.

Recalling his experience at that evangelistic meeting, Chris estimated that the Obsidian Tongue Church would also offer rewards for recruiting new full members, and quite substantial ones at that.

It's at least more than the number of ordinary believers.

He was indeed short of money and lacked access to more occult knowledge.

Mystic spaces are one approach, but some ideas need to be tested to confirm their feasibility.

If more ways to acquire occult knowledge can be developed, it's not impossible, as long as safety is ensured.

So Chris decided to keep Logan hanging for now.

"Hehe, of course, that makes perfect sense." Logan's smile widened as he saw that Chris didn't refuse him again.

He handed the fragment of the Holy Sacrament to Chris again, saying, "Consider this fragment a personal gift to you, Brother Chris. I hope you won't refuse it. It's just a small gift, nothing more."
