Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Regarding the pseudo-sacred path.

Benjamin only knew some basic information, but not in depth.

All he knew was that this was a different path from the holy one, yet it was also a way to embark on an extraordinary journey.

The existence that the pseudo-sacred path points to is unknown.

Embarking on any false path of holiness inevitably leads to facing more unknown risks.

These pseudo-saints themselves became a hidden destabilizing factor within the Im Empire.

Therefore, the official imperial stance towards these pseudo-saints is generally to arrest them upon discovery.

Once apprehended, a decision will be made based on the risk assessment results from relevant departments to recruit, strip away any extraordinary characteristics, or eliminate the entity altogether.

This kind of thing is usually done by the Hand of Eternal Silence.

If the torchbearers discover someone suspected of being a false saint, they usually report it to their superiors and avoid direct confrontation.

But how could the one atop the tower possibly be walking a false path of holiness?

This power that connects to the astral planes is beyond the reach of even the known Holy Spirits.

Such a level of existence could not possibly be a pseudo-sacred path, could it?

Or perhaps the knowledge I previously acquired about the astral plane contained some errors or omissions?

Benjamin began to doubt himself.

"That's not right!?"

He suddenly realized that it was even more impossible for the pseudo-sacred path to coexist with the sacred path!

Neither of the two sacred paths is compatible.

How could the more unstable pseudo-saintly path spirit seal coexist with the saintly seal within his body?

Moreover, it's so harmonious.

To this day, he has not sensed anything unusual.

That's absolutely impossible!

Only such a short time has passed.

Benjamin's worldview was challenged several times over.

He began to doubt the extraordinary knowledge he had once possessed.

However, he often obtained this knowledge from the family library and materials provided by the imperial authorities.

Even if there were oversights, such serious problems should not occur on such crucial common sense.

Ultimately, Benjamin attributed everything to the being atop the tower, which was likely beyond the powerful and extraordinary beings he had previously known.

The other party's methods are unimaginable.

He became increasingly certain that the other person was above the Holy Spirit.

anyway,

The mark within his body, which resembled a spiritual seal, was now quietly suspended within the star core.

He did indeed have the opportunity to master the power of this path known as the Avatar of the Wind.

Furthermore, he also felt that his spirituality had increased to a certain extent after the completion of this spiritual seal.

His spirituality has been stuck at the level of a spiritual messenger for many years and has not improved.

It's not that he can't improve, but rather that his spiritual strength has long since reached the maximum capacity of a spiritual envoy who has inscribed three sacred seals.

But now, he has broken through that limit.

This incredible and illogical situation further confirms the terror of the being atop the tower.

He snapped out of his shock and confusion and quickly prayed toward the tower, showing his piety and gratitude.

"The majestic being who overlooks the stars from the tower, your devout follower, Benjamin Hall..."

"Ahem~"

Benjamin's prayer was only halfway through, and before he could fully convey his thoughts, it was interrupted by a sudden cough.

His astral body trembled involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, the two barely perceptible yellow mists suddenly intertwined and spun together, along with several wisps of pale white mist around them, and condensed into a twisted white vortex, slightly larger than Benjamin's celestial body, about ten meters in front of Benjamin and Cole's celestial bodies.

Two wisps of yellow mist disappeared at the very center of the vortex.

As the vortex took shape, a wave of consciousness emanated from it.

"Actually, communication can be simpler."

This thought was not as majestic and ancient as the previous omens that came from the tower, which were so awe-inspiring.

But it still gave Benjamin and Cole an indescribable sense of pressure, making it impossible for them to refuse.

"Is that... the one atop the tower?"

"No, it should be some kind of incarnation!"

Benjamin, still somewhat incredulous, felt the aura emanating from the vortex.

This being of such a level actually manifested itself before them, standing at the same height as them, and communicating with them in a tone that mimicked human speech.

He had never heard of such a situation before.

"Indeed, we cannot use common sense to fathom the existence of this ancient being."

Benjamin immediately suppressed all his doubts and hurriedly replied, "As you wish."

Cole, standing to the side, watched all of this with a somewhat blank expression.

He probably guessed what the suddenly appearing white vortex was.

I also felt that unquestionable will.

Everything that happened today is changing his worldview.

Now, a being at the level of a Holy Spirit appeared directly before him, and he felt as if his mind had stopped working.

Chris, perched atop the tower, watched everything below with a slight smile playing on his lips.

His spirituality and understanding of the power of the wind incarnation have both grown twice.

To make it easier to communicate with the two people below, he had a sudden inspiration: to combine the two wisps of yellow mist he had saved with his ability to control airflow.

By using the yellow mist to envelop the pale fog, a white vortex was formed below, creating a virtual image for himself.

And through the spiritual threads that extend over extremely long distances from the tower, one can transmit one's thoughts.

"You can go back to normal," Chris suggested.

As soon as this thought was uttered, Benjamin and Cole immediately reacted.

The radiance that the two had previously contained within their star core reappeared on their star spirit bodies.

"I've given you what you wanted," Chris said again.

Just now, when he was trying to create a virtual avatar for himself.

He vaguely sensed that the Holy Seal of the Avatar of Wind that he had drawn inside the core of Benjamin and Cole was not just a simple pattern.

Besides being able to clearly sense the location of the two patterns through his perception of the yellow mist, he also sensed an aura within the two patterns that was very similar to the true holy seal within his body.

The "holy seal" he drew seems to contain some extraordinary knowledge.

However, the knowledge contained within seems to be in a state of ambiguity.

After completing the drawing of these two "holy seals," he experienced spiritual growth and spiritual progress.

This inevitably made him begin to suspect whether this "holy seal" drawn from the yellow mist was really related to the holy path of the Wind Incarnation.

Although he did not initially intend to share the knowledge of the Sacred Path of the Wind Incarnation.

But at this moment, he not only benefited from drawing the "Holy Seals," but he also vaguely sensed that the two "Holy Seals" he drew would probably continue to bring him more benefits in the future.

In this mysterious space, Chris still has great faith in this kind of spiritual intuition.

Rather than worrying about potential future troubles, it's more important for him to seize the benefits right in front of him.

He still knew too little about the Holy Path.

There are some things I just can't figure out right now.

This ambiguous idea itself carries a sense of probing.

Cole sensed this thought and almost instantly understood what the person in the tower meant.

He had just prayed that he could embark on the other's holy path.

Therefore, the peculiar mark within him is the sign that he has embarked on the path to sainthood.

He recalled the knowledge about the Holy Path that the Morning Star had told him before, and realized that the mark in his body must be the Holy Seal.

"Thank you for your kindness," Cole said simply, recalling the reminder he had received from the tower.

But after thanking him, he felt a vague unease in his heart.

He didn't know how to repay the other party.

If simply showing piety is enough to become a follower of the holy path, then shouldn't a large number of clergy and believers in the Holy Spirit Church have already embarked on the holy path?

But is that even possible?

If there really are so many holy pilgrims in this world.

In the past twenty years, how come he hasn't seen a single one?

He did not believe that he should receive a holy seal simply because of his piety.

Moreover, as the Morning Star just mentioned, embarking on the holy path and inscribing a holy seal requires something called a holy wedge.

Now that a holy seal already exists within him, can the holy wedge needed to inscribe the first holy seal be omitted?

Judging from what Morning Star said, the materials for making Holy Wedges seemed to be difficult for ordinary people like him to obtain.

This means that the entity atop the tower helped him once again.

Just as Cole was filled with unease and resolved to pledge his life to the being atop the tower, the white vortex began to rotate slightly, moving toward the spirit body of Cole.

A thought immediately followed: "Don't be nervous, Polaris. Consider it an exchange you made for that little stone."

He could probably understand what Cole was nervous about.

Chris could clearly see the changes in the spirit of Cole, and the other party's cautious state was obvious.

That crystal, containing the power of the earth's throat, was an unexpected bonus, even though it's uncertain whether it can be taken out.

The "Holy Seal" he drew inside the core of Cole can be manipulated at any time to strip away the yellow mist, unless the other party never enters the astral plane again.

No matter how you look at it, he made a profit.

Then, the white vortex turned toward the direction of the Benji Star Spirit.

A thought transmitted: "I like equivalent exchange. What about yours, Morning Star?"

This idea remains simple.

Although at this moment, Chris is communicating with these two people in this way, each time it only requires a little bit of spiritual energy.

But save money where you can.

He still chose to express his meaning with the fewest words possible.

He believed Benjamin would understand what he was saying.

Benjamin sensed this thought and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

He certainly understood what the person atop the tower meant.

But how should we calculate the value of the "holy seal" bestowed upon us?

Does the extraordinary knowledge he possesses have even the slightest value in the eyes of the other party?

wrong!

This idea is wrong.

Benjamin suddenly realized.

If we consider the other party's status, then everything he possesses, including himself, is of no value to the being before him.

But is he really worthless?

The other party, mimicking a human tone, proposed the concept of equivalent exchange.

Benjamin suddenly realized that anthropomorphism, or developing believers, might be a necessary process for the other party to complete their full awakening.

The reason why the "holy seal" bestowed by the other party seems to be a spiritual seal of a pseudo-holy path is very likely because the other party has not yet fully awakened.

The equivalent exchange mentioned by the other party is proposed from a human perspective.

Therefore, since the other party bestowed upon him a holy seal, he should return a holy seal in return, which he obviously could not do.

At this moment, in this state, all he can do is hand over roughly equivalent knowledge.

Having understood all this, Benjamin immediately replied succinctly, "I am willing to offer... a piece of information about the holy path that I possess."

He originally intended to offer all the information he possessed about the Holy Path, but considering that the other party had specifically emphasized an equal exchange, he changed his offer to one piece of information instead.
