Chapter Seventy-Five, Lucky Audience
Relying on this mutated ascension ceremony, Natalia Dragon not only improved her cultivation, but even broke through the limits of mortals, raising her major "Lamp Phase" to the twelfth order.
The Twelfth Order is in the earthly world, and it should not exist normally. This is not only a matter of "beyond our strength", but also the restrictions that Si Chen has set for all living beings in this world.
In the earthly world, the tenth order is the limit. It is necessary to go to the high places of Mansu, pass through the three-pointed gate, and baptize in the glow, so that the body of mortal things can undergo the most complete transformation, and obtain enough power to accommodate the twelfth order of phase.
Theoretically, yes.
But in fact, of course, there are exceptions, for example, one of the bosses behind the Anti-Suppression Bureau, Sir Connie Lee, known as the "Conqueror", as one of the most powerful people in the British Empire, she has a huge amount of resources, including several secret treasures, which can help her break through the limits of mortal things and master the "Blade Phase" of the twelfth order.
Her strength should be one of the strongest among mortals, even if she is the strongest in those large organizations in other countries, unless she becomes an immortal after soaring, she is at most on par with her.
In the case of Natalia, it can also be regarded as an exception.
Pan Long used the Blood Sky Divine Skill to extract the essence blood of more than a dozen cultists in the "Pope's Crown", and this essence blood was used by her to reshape her body.
Only with such a body can one be able to sustain the cultivation of the twelfth-order phase.
And with the cultivation of the twelfth-order phase, you can naturally go to the highest place of Mansu, pass through the three-pointed gate, and obtain immortality through the baptism of radiance.
In fact, generally speaking, most of the formless cultivators in this world have cultivated to the tenth order of the phase, and with the help of the power of rituals and treasures, they even need to offer a number of people who also practice the formless art as sacrifices, so that they can temporarily raise their phase to the twelfth order through the ritual called 'intercalation', and then step into the manju body under the guidance of Si Chen to complete the ritual of immortality.
If you can stabilize the twelfth-order phase, plus the assistance of rituals and treasures, the achievement of immortality is basically a certainty.
“...... If I practice according to the traditional method, I am sure that I will complete the ascension today. "And you don't need to go through the intercalation ceremony, it's enough to complete the ascension with an ordinary ceremony." Everything you need for the ceremony, I have it at home. Just back in London, the ceremony can take place tonight. ”
"But that's not what I wanted. Pan Long said, "I didn't put so much effort into witnessing a mortal ascend. There's nothing new about it, and it's not even worth a special look. ”
He was bragging, of course, but in line with the incredible things he had done during this time—flying from London to Marrakech in just a few hours with two men, draining the blood and lives of a dozen people and reshaping Natalia's body...... These things are definitely not possible for mortals to do.
So neither Natalia nor Douglas had any doubts about his words.
Of course, it is impossible for such a strong person to go to great lengths just to witness a mortal ascend in a conventional way.
He helped Natalia, and Natalia naturally had to pay for it.
And the price is to follow his suggestion, use the "feedback of the world" to open the door to the highest place of Mansu for yourself, bypass Si Chen, and try to "self-ascension".
This can be risky, and it can even lead to great dangers. But Natalia had no choice.
...... She didn't want to choose, either.
People are ambitious, riding donkeys and mules and thinking about horses, and the prime minister of the official residence looks at the prince. When she was just a rookie of the fifth or sixth order of the "Appearance of Lights", as long as she could fly and live forever, she didn't care what way she used. But when she became one of the few twelfth-order powerhouses in the world, as long as she got used to her strength a little, and immediately after returning to the Defense Bureau, she could become a big man like Sir Connie Lee who was enough to influence the entire Defense Bureau and even the entire United Kingdom, her ambition increased.
Ordinary immortals are found in the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Truth be told, that's what it takes to talk about status. It is indeed higher than these people, but in fact, he is still under Assistant Superintendent Wakefield, and he is nothing more than a little more face-saving than them, and he can't refuse the task of the Anti-Suppression Bureau.
That level of immortality is no longer enough for Natalia.
She wanted to be like St. Isaac Newton, to be able to sit there with a swagger, let a group of Lords stand in front of him and nod her head, and even say to Her Majesty the Empress, "It's good to change Lords when necessary."
And to become such a strong person, ordinary ascension is definitely not enough.
Therefore, even if Pan Long didn't ask for it, she wanted to work her own, try to emulate the way of St. Isaac and ascend, and gain a power far beyond that of ordinary immortals!
Douglas was persuaded that in his opinion, as long as he could live forever. It doesn't really matter how you live forever - anyway, time is infinite after longevity, and you can slowly cultivate and constantly pursue higher realms and powers.
But looking at Natalia's sparkling eyes, those eyes full of longing and ambition, he knew that it was impossible.
Natalia has made a decision!
He sighed secretly in his heart and said, "I suggest that you rest for a little two days and fully adapt to the power of the twelfth order before holding the ascension ceremony. Moreover, the consumables needed for the intercalation ceremony also took time to collect—high-level influences, as well as sacrifices that had cultivated the invisible arts, were not easy to find. ”
"High-level influence is easy to do. Pan Long stretched out his hand as he spoke, and a ball of light appeared in his palm.
That's when he had just witnessed the Ascension Ceremony, and he had obtained the Influence Card.
【Card: Dazzling】
【Nature:Impact】
[Description: You can cover your eyes, whatever you want.] Covering is useless. 】
[Phase: lamp 15]
This is the highest-level influence card of the light phase, and when it manifests, it is as dazzling as the one in the circle.
This incredible color should not exist in the world.
Natalia and Douglas looked at the light and were speechless for a moment.
After a few moments, Natalia said, "With this influence, the two most important things of the intercalation ceremony are half done." ”
"Sacrifice the secret transmission, offer sacrifices, throw away the ritual instruments, dissolve the influence, depict grief, and achieve the posthumous worship. Douglas said, "The secret transmission is easy to obtain, there are so many in the Bureau of Prevention and Suppression, it is not difficult to copy one, it is not difficult to extract a copy of the cult item from the storehouse, and it is not beyond my authority at all, and the paint needed to depict grief has long been prepared." What is really difficult is the sacrifice and the influence...... Now the impact is also there. Then give me two days, and I'll be able to find a suitable offering!"
Pan Long frowned secretly, and then his heart moved, and said, "If you want to make sacrifices, the higher the level, the better." Well, when you go back, you can flip through the stack of materials and see if there are any cult leaders worth my visit. Clifton like this one is very good. ”
Natalia and Douglaston both couldn't help but laugh.
"Characters like that are not uncommon in the vicinity of London. "Those who have been hiding in the dark, protecting themselves with power and wealth, and constantly encroaching on society...... Being able to make them contribute to Natalia's ascension is the last good thing they have done in their lives. ”
He only felt happy about the fact that he wanted to sacrifice the cult leader.
Although he can also be ruthless and cruel to innocents in order to help Natalia ascend if necessary, it is very good that he can be sacrificed to damn bastards in the first place, which can give him extra satisfaction!
Looking at his happy smile, Pan Long felt that if this guy was a player, he would have obtained cards such as [Pleasure] and [Joy] by now......
Packing up his things and packing up the ones worth taking with him, Pan Long took Natalia and Douglas to London before lunch.
Then Natalia went to cook, Douglas looked up the information, and Pan Long sat on a chair, drinking black tea, while patiently waiting for which lucky cult leader would have the opportunity to participate in Natalia's ascension ceremony.
"That's a good fit...... This is suitable, too...... This is also ......" Douglas flipped through the stack of materials, looking a little tangled.
From his point of view, he wanted all the cult leaders to die, but it was not so easy to choose the most suitable sacrifice.
Pan Long drank all the cups of black tea, and the smell of food about to finish cooking came from the kitchen, and he was still entangled.
"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law!" In the end, Pan Long couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly, "Give me all the information about those guys!"
Douglas was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Natalia's ascension is arguably one of the greatest attempts of mankind in this history, and there is nothing wrong with having more people participate. Pan Long smiled and said, "I'll just take some time and invite them all over to participate." ”
Douglas frowned and said, "But the intercalation ceremony only requires one sacrifice, and if there are too many sacrifices, it may not be a good thing......"
"After the intercalation ceremony, it is not that there can be no other ceremony. Pan Long said lightly, "Don't you want to have a powerful body that can accommodate the body of the twelfth-order phase?"
He squinted his eyes and smiled narrowly, "A man can't be strong enough." ”
Douglaston understood what he meant, and his old face flushed, but he didn't say anything to retort.
And so it was decided.
For the next two days, Natalia trains in secret to adapt to her new powers and realms, while Douglas prepares for the ceremonial venue, which he regards as far more important than his own, and must find a place that is absolutely safe and secure.
As for Pan Long...... Just like he said, he took the stack of materials and visited those cults one by one.
Every time he visited, he would bring back at least one "audience", these cult leaders and henchmen who were "fortunate enough to live three lives", lying neatly on the floor of Natalia's house, sleeping one by one, very peacefully, and not causing trouble to people at all.
By the time everything was ready two days later, Natalia's house had more than two dozen guests.
These guests were all figures who stomped their feet in the cult field in London or nearby areas, and their disappearance shook the entire circle of invisible cultivators in London, and more than one person suspected that it was the great St. Isaac who had set foot in the mortal world and cleaned the portal himself, so that these big people who were inextricably linked to the Bureau of Suppression, the House of Lords, and even the British royal family would disappear silently.
...... The point is, this style of doing what you want, without prior notice or after the fact, is very similar to that of Lord St. Isaac.
That lord had always done things like this, and only what he felt was important, he would deign to talk to mortals. As for the little things that didn't seem worth mentioning to him, he didn't even bother to say them.
And the "trivial things that are not worth mentioning" naturally include killing a few mortals who he didn't like to look at.
Although the number of deaths he had killed this time was slightly higher, they were all damned anyway...... Although few people who practice the Invisible Technique have the confidence to call themselves good people, but there are countless who think they need to go to the gallows, those who have evaporated from the human world this time, even among the cultivators of the Invisible Technique, belong to a particularly bad and evil group.
The disappearance of those people made the more honest formless cultivators such as Mr. Norman and Miss Moran happy, and the people of the Historical Research Society even held a small party to celebrate the disappearance of one of their enemies with two loyal lackeys.
Celebratory parties like this, in and around London these days, have been held a lot.
Pan Long also attended the party, where Mr. Ello may have drunk too much, or even wailed, shouting, "Teacher, you must have waited for those guys in hell! they will definitely be worse than you!"
Pan Long only sighed secretly, but did not tell him the truth.
Anyway...... Those guys are definitely going to die, and it doesn't really matter if they die now or in two days, doesn't it?
Time passed quickly, and just two days passed in one fell swoop.
Late at night on the third day, Pan Long took a long time to leave the city of London with Natalia, Douglas, and the large group of "lucky spectators" who were going to visit or participate in Natalia's ascension ceremony, and went to a ranch in the suburbs.
The ranch was Douglas's chosen location for the ceremony, spacious, quiet, and remote, and he even had enough wood and gasoline in advance to finish the ceremony.
I'm sure the "lucky audience" will be very happy with this......
