Chapter 18: The Ritual of Enlightenment
"The Spiritual Initiation Ritual is to guide the existing holy power in your body, activate the body's ability to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, so that you can easily attract the aura of heaven and earth in the future, so as to enter the ranks of monks. ”
Before the ceremony began, standing on the altar was Senior Monk Ye Li, the vice president of the Holy Spirit Academy.
The Initiation Platform is the place where the Initiation Ceremony is held, in a corner of the Academy's training grounds. It is a large square platform about 10 meters long and wide and 1 meter high. There is also a two-person tall pillar behind the platform, and I don't know what it is for.
Vice President Ye has a decent Chinese face, with black hair that hangs straight down to his waist, and part of his hair is still coiled into a bun at the back of his head. Dressed in a wide white robe, he looked very elegant on the stage. It is said that he is also a master in the early stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
He was now repeating the lines that must be spoken before every initiation ceremony.
"But the ritual doesn't stop there. After the enlightenment is successful, there will be a lot of important information through the ritual, which will determine your future development path!"
"These information are: Holy Force Base Value, Aura Attributes, and Talent Divine Powers. ”
"As we all know, holy power, also known as magic power, spiritual power or aura, the holy power value refers to the amount of mana you can use, and the holy power base value refers to the basic holy power value when you have just successfully enlightened the spirit. As with spiritual intelligence, it is measured from 1 to 100, and it is a direct indication of where you will grow in the future. ”
"It is common knowledge that the higher the Holy Power, the stronger the monk. According to the numbers, in order to succeed in enlightenment, you need at least 10 holy power points, otherwise you will definitely fail. A monk who has just built a spirit has at least 100 Holy Power points, which also means that if your Holy Power points are less than 100, you will not be able to build your spirits successfully. ”
"When you have just succeeded in enlightening your spirit, your basic holy power value also indicates the level of your talent. According to the statistics of our Holy Spirit Continent's hundreds of years of experience, the higher the Holy Power Base Value, the greater the monk's achievements in the future!"
"The aura attribute represents the direction of your cultivation, and the basic attribute is the five elemental attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the most common. At the same time, there are many other attributes on our Holy Spirit Continent, such as wind, thunder, light, light, and darkness attributes, which are attributes based on the mutations of the five elements, and of course, there are even rarer attributes such as ice, fog, and so on. The Initiation Ritual will also let you know your aura attributes, so that you can plan a suitable cultivation path for yourself. ”
"Zuihou is a natural supernatural power. Innate supernatural powers can be simply understood as what you are best at using holy power, the same student, the base value of holy power is the same, and the same metallic, but their development directions may be very different, this is the difference in innate supernatural powers. ”
"It's the same metallic, some people are good at using golden aura to strengthen themselves, and their strength is infinite, while some people are good at condensing aura into flying needles and flying swords to attack the enemy, this is the difference in talent. Knowing what you are best at, you can develop your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and your cultivation will be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"
Vice President Ye's phone call made the children in the audience understand the importance of this spiritual initiation ceremony again. There were only three children participating in the Enlightenment Ceremony this time, but all the freshmen of the academy and the students of the entire outer courtyard were watching the ceremony, and the scale was too grand!
Indeed, each initiation ceremony, regardless of the number of children participating in the test, is the most important ceremony in the entire Star Academy. Xingyu City is also a medium-sized city in the Dongchen Empire, and only three people in the entire Xingyu City participate in the test a year, and they may not all pass, which shows that the number of monks in the entire Holy Spirit Continent is really not much.
Before Vice Dean Ye came to the stage, Teacher Hongyan called the three children aside and roughly told them not to be nervous and play naturally. At the same time, they also went through the whole process of the ceremony.
Jiajun didn't know if he didn't listen, but when he heard it, he realized how much the entire academy attached importance to this ceremony. He originally thought that this was similar to the ritual of measuring the intelligence of the soul at that time, but he didn't expect it to be so grand!
Before the ceremony began, the vice president's lecture was not said, and the whole ceremony was divided into five steps:
The first step is to guide the spirit, whether it can succeed depends on this step, if it is successful, you will enter the ranks of monks, continue the rituals that follow, and if you fail, you can go home directly.
The second step is to test the Shengli base value, which is not only concerned by the students themselves, but also by all the students in the outer courtyard who are also very concerned about this, because the level of the Shengli base value directly determines the strength of this freshman. The teams in the outer courtyard are eagerly waiting below, and if they find good seedlings, they will not hesitate to grab them.
The third step is more special, which is the display of the student team of the outer courtyard. After knowing the freshman holy power value, the teams in the outer courtyard also knew which student was the most suitable for their team, and it was time to grab it. At this time, they naturally need to come and behave. Any team that is interested in the same student can show and compete on the spot. This show is usually a competition between teams, and of course other ways are not excluded, as long as the new student is willing to join.
The school's requirement is that the total number of people in a team cannot exceed 10, and if it reaches 10, it will not be able to continue to invite new students.
The fourth step is to test the aura attribute and let the academy know what direction of cultivation you are suitable for.
The fifth step is to test the talent supernatural powers.
The reason why the fourth and fifth steps are placed in zuihou is because attributes and natural supernatural powers are the most important privacy of monks, and it is not convenient to display them publicly. Some of the talents are still the killer skills of the monks, even if they are teammates of a team, they don't necessarily know each other's talents, at most they know what type of talent the other party is.
Listening to Mr. Hongyan's general introduction, the three children also knew what to expect. But don't mention the next few steps, the most important thing is to succeed in the first step of enlightenment, otherwise everything is empty talk.
"The initiation ceremony begins, please bring the new students to the stage!" Dean Ye shouted. The three of Jiajun were excited, and their heartbeats couldn't help but speed up rapidly. They stood in the audience for a while, expecting the ceremony to start early, but also hoping that the dean would nagging a few more words to let them catch their breath a little longer.
In this tense and complicated mind, the three children followed Hongyan to the stage.
"Brother, I'll pass!" Jia Jun turned his head to look at Jia Ming who was standing on the side of the audience as he walked.
Jiaming smiled at him at this time and nodded, Jiajun grinned when he saw it, so he didn't look any more, turned his head, and stepped onto the spiritual platform with firm steps.
Fei Ling, who was standing on the side, looked at everything around him with great interest. It was rare for him to go out, and it was the first time in more than a year that he had seen so many people, not to mention, it was such a special ceremony. But looking at it, he recalled the similar events he had experienced in the Demon Realm back then.
Fei Ling couldn't help but sigh slightly, as if the scene that had been buried in his heart for many years inadvertently emerged. "Our rituals there aren't that troublesome. He muttered. Jiaming didn't squeak either, turned his head and glanced at him lightly.
