Chapter 170: You Have Been Chosen by an Angel!
Bishop Jon felt as if he had been reborn.
This feeling was so wonderful that he almost got lost in it.
It wasn't until his legs went numb and he couldn't help but retreat a step that Bishop Jon snapped out of it.
He quickly knelt down on the ground to repent for the human flaws he had just exposed, filled with remorse.
After a while, Bishop Jon finally caught his breath and accepted his own transformation through psychological construction.
At least he appeared to have returned to normal and opened the wardrobe to find a pure white mask to cover his handsome uncle-like face.
Bishop Jon didn't want anyone other than his confidants to know about his change in appearance.
He looked back at the mirror.
The reflection of Bishop Jon in the mirror still carried an indescribable mysterious charm.
But this could be attributed to his mask.
It was a custom-made exquisite mask for the Shepherd Department of the Holy Spirit Sect, handmade by the top masters who inherited the Thousand-Year tradition of the Holy City.
It was already considered an art masterpiece, not to mention Bishop Jon's mask.
After adjusting his breathing in front of the mirror, Bishop Jon pushed open the door and quickly left the underground palace.
Soon, as the most sought-after bishop at the moment, he only had to wait a little while to be received by the Crown.
A few minutes later, in the private chamber where the Crown and Bishop Jon were alone.
Bishop Jon narrated the entire process of how he received the angel's blessing.
He showed the stigmata on his chest.
And even took the initiative to approach the Crown, slowly taking off his mask to reveal his true face.
The already aged Crown couldn't help but exclaim, "Saint Lord above, if you hadn't explained in advance that you received the angel's blessing, I would have thought that you had been taken over by some ancient being."
After confirming the existence of the Transcendent, the Crown and Bishop Jon naturally dug out and carefully read the previously disregarded mysterious records.
And the most important among them was undoubtedly the Holy Spirit Sect, which was closest to modern times.
Regarding possession, it was recorded in the notes of the last sage of the Holy Spirit Sect.
According to him, once the body was taken over by an ancient being from The Underworld, communicated through the Transcendent ritual, it would appear to regain its youth.
But in reality, although the physical body was restored, the person was no longer themselves.
And because the ancient beings were too powerful, the bodies they inhabited would often decay and turn to ashes within a week.
When the Crown and the others read it before, they only thought that the author of the writing had gone crazy with Transcendent and had become obsessed with delusions.
Now, of course, it was undeniable.
That's why Bishop Jon took the initiative to come and reveal his identity to prevent any accidents.
After proving his identity, Bishop Jon mentioned the name of the person the angel was looking for.
At the same time, because of the additional mysterious knowledge in his mind, he made other requests.
Under the crown, everyone naturally agreed and supplemented his plan.
Not long after.
The priests and cultivators in the underground palace of the Holy City Cathedral heard the broadcast summoning them.
Many people have been here for a week and this is the first time they have heard this broadcast.
Some of them realized that something important might happen.
During this interval, someone took the opportunity to go to the toilet and transmitted a message through some high-tech devices.
As soon as they went out, these people discovered their colleagues who had the word "suspected" removed, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Several priests in black robes with gold trim, who were directly under the crown, appeared here for the first time, opened a small scroll, and began to read out names.
Not long after, the names of ten priests and ten nuns were read out, and after expressing their gratitude respectfully, they followed the priests to where the crown was.
The movements of these people were naturally not small.
In response to this, intelligence personnel naturally observed this scene through various means and recorded it.
In fact, the list of selected individuals was reported to the intelligence department even earlier than the priests and nuns knew.
And the intelligence department started to investigate the priests and nuns as a priority.
Then... major forces discovered with satisfaction that one-fifth of them had been grasped by them as leverage.
Another one-fifth had already established a cooperative relationship with them.
The rest... there were readily available intelligence that could be used, and various tactics could be applied if necessary.
The selected priests and nuns were arranged in different small rooms.
Then they were received by the crown and Bishop Jon in order.
It seemed unexpected, but it was a normal means of winning hearts and minds.
Until the last nun heard the summons, pushed open the door of the secret room, and saw the crown and Bishop Jon.
She heard Bishop Jon recite her own resume:
Teresa, female, 20 years old.
She has been studying at the Holy City Women's School since she was a child and graduated with excellent grades.
Her ancestors have been residents around the old Holy City for five generations.
Her parents and grandparents have the tradition of attending weekly worship.
Among her relatives, there are several priests and nuns respected by Human Venerable.
It was also with the encouragement and recommendation letters from these relatives that Teresa was able to join the Shepherd Department and was selected for training in the underground palace because of her outstanding performance.
"Raise your head, Teresa."
"You are one of the chosen ones, one of the future sages."
After Bishop Jon finished reciting, he stepped down from the platform and shouted loudly at the nun in front of him.
Teresa's body trembled, obviously stunned by the information contained in the bishop's shout.
She is a typical Southern European girl with delicate features and smooth skin.
A head of brown hair curled up and tucked into a nun's hat, still unable to hide her beauty.
"I... have been chosen by an angel?"
Teresa cautiously repeated this sentence, seeing Bishop John nod with a smile.
This doesn't seem like a joke!
While Teresa closed her eyes to thank the gods,
A deep worry arose in her heart.
Oh Saint Lord, why would you play such a joke?
Didn't you, who can do anything, realize that I have been an unbeliever all these years?
Going to church, reciting scriptures, it was all just habit and to please my family.
This time, actively participating in the Shepherd Department, I was also attracted by the future prospects of this department and the promises of some people.
When Teresa was learning those mysterious knowledge, she did indeed have a desire to learn them and become transcendent.
But when this desire was not achieved through her own learning but by being chosen by an angel,
After Teresa came back to her senses from the shock, she became more and more afraid.
She even began to console herself, thinking that being chosen by an angel was just another kind of mysterious ritual.
Just like the mysterious knowledge she had learned before.
It seemed real and felt real when learning it.
Except that it didn't affect even a single strand of hair, except for deceiving her own consciousness.
Bishop John was also considered a half-transcendent with Qi Refining entering his body. In the Immortal World, he was like a Great Master Practitioner with one foot on the threshold of cultivation.
Naturally, he understood that the nun in front of him didn't quite believe it.
He didn't mind, if he hadn't really encountered an angel and had the holy marks on his body, he wouldn't have believed it so easily.
After comforting Teresa a few words and telling her to go back as usual without revealing her identity as a chosen one,
Bishop John bid farewell to his subordinates and returned to the cathedral.
In a specially cleared room in the cathedral.
It was now filled with stone materials for carving.
Bishop John walked into the room and looked at these stone materials, recalling the extra mysterious knowledge he had gained.
Then, without using any tools, he simply stretched out his hands and placed them on a rectangular stone about the height of a person.
In the blink of an eye, as Magic power poured into the stone,
This originally hard stone unexpectedly softened and became like clay, allowing Bishop John to knead it as he pleased.
This was the stone puppet technique from the side path of cultivation.
It could refine stone puppets similar to paper dolls.
However, this spell consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy, and the quality of the stone also had a great impact on the strength of the stone puppet.
One of the major characteristics of Rogue Cultivators was poverty, and they wouldn't have the chance to use good stone materials.
In addition, the puppet technique had a higher limit and a more systematic way of cultivating the path of refining puppets.
Therefore, this side path technique was quite embarrassing in the Immortal World.
Rogue Cultivators who learned this technique could only refine stone puppets slightly stronger than ordinary Practitioners.
In the end, they all gave up halfway and regretted it.
Being given to Bishop John was just a sudden idea of Su Ping's, planning to wait until he mastered it and then combine it with the Incense God Dao for further improvement.
To see if he could enhance those stone puppets with the power of faith from the Water Blue Star.
If it failed, he wouldn't lose anything.
Those stone puppets that could only deal with mortals might be just right for the Water Blue Star.
...
Teresa returned to her room with mixed feelings and experienced insomnia for the first time...
Fortunately, the next day they received the news that they had a day off.
Everyone only needed to complete the morning and evening prayers.
But because of her insomnia, others thought she was too excited after meeting the bishop.
Even other nun friends came excitedly to tell Teresa that they also couldn't sleep because they were too excited after meeting the bishop.
Teresa responded vaguely to them.
After attending the prayer meeting and planning to go back to catch up on sleep,
She found a black-robed priest looking for her.
He led her into the underground chapel.
There, there wasn't even electric lighting, only oil lamps were used for illumination.
Teresa saw that there were others besides herself, all the people who had been summoned to meet the bishop last time.
Realizing that the mysterious ritual might be about to begin.
Teresa felt a little worried.
But soon, she and the other priests and nuns who came in with her had their pupils slightly contracted.
They saw Bishop John standing beside him wearing a mask.
There were two stone statue ghosts, one white and one black, about one and a half meters tall!
They were not unfamiliar with stone statue ghosts.
In many large churches and even buildings, such statues were placed to punish evil spirits.
But this time was different.
These two stone statue ghosts...
They actually moved their heads like living creatures.
They even spread their wings, as if using some kind of mysterious power to check if there were any devils among the visitors.
