"Welco to the Holy Scripture of our Luotian Sect," declared the Pope of our sect, standing in for the Holy Master to select the new Holy Daughter, ensuring that the glory of our Lord may continue unceasingly. First, let us accept the baptism of our Lord's Holy Light and cleanse ourselves of any sin." The Pope's voice resounded, imbued with Spiritual Energy, echoing across the entire plaza.
Upon hearing these words, everyone placed their palms together in prayer in front of their chests.
"Om!"
The Pope raised the Scepter in his hands.
A beam of light shot straight into the sky in an instant.
Then, countless rays of brilliance scattered downwards.
These beams, like dazzling golden splendors, showered upon the people.
As if the sacred light rained down upon the earth.
And this Holy Light, descending upon people, brought peace and tranquility to their hearts.
Those with evil spirits within them would scream under the light, as wisp after wisp of black smoke rose from their bodies.
However, those with evil spirits did not resist in the slightest.
Instead, they silently endured the scorching purification of those evil energies.
In their eyes, it was their sins being washed away and cleansed.
Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
The so-called Holy Light was none other than the Star Purification he had comprehended.
It was just that the Pope's mastery of Profound Arguntation was clearly much higher than his.
Being able to perform such a large-scale purification all at once must an that she had crossed into the threshold of Profound Arguntation.
As to whether she had reached the Initial level, it was still not clear.
Of course, even so, the Pope's ability to purify millions of people at once relied on the power of the Great Brightness Stone.
Looking at the Great Brightness Stone that shone as brightly as the Bright Sun,
Xu Nian couldn't help but marvel; the Great Brightness Stone was truly a Treasure for cultivators of the Light Attribute.
After a long while, the light finally faded.
The crowd displayed devout expressions and knelt in gratitude for the grace of the Holy Master.
"Ladies and gentlen, please rise. You are all the children of the Holy Master. The Holy Master has washed away your sins. From now on, you must do good daily to be worthy of the Holy Master's grace," the Pope said.
People got up from their kneeling positions one by one.
Hua Gesang cast a sowhat hostile look at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian had not knelt to the Pope, which was a complete disrespect to both the Pope and the Holy Master.
Sensing Hua Gesang's anger, Xu Nian smiled and said, "Your Holy Master is rciful and broad-minded, able to encompass those who believe in him as well as those who do not. Why can't you?"
Hua Gesang, hearing Xu Nian's words, displayed a contemplative expression.
It seed she found a hint of truth in what Xu Nian said.
"Xu Nian is right, the Pope didn't mind, so Gesang, you shouldn't bla Xu Nian either. After all, he has only recently arrived in Beimo and doesn't know the benefits that the Luotian Saint has brought us. Once he's been here longer, he will naturally join us in our faith in the Holy Master," Adam spoke out.
Hua Gesang dropped the matter after hearing this.
Xu Nian just smiled helplessly.
Even if he stayed much longer, he would never believe in the Luotian Saint.
After all, he had seen through the essence of it all.
"Next, we will comnce the election for the Holy Daughter. The election is divided into three challenges: assessing talent, character, and strength. The person who ranks first overall in these three aspects will beco the new Holy Daughter of the Luotian Sect," announced the Pope.
The surrounding crowd, hearing this, showed excited expressions.
Especially the competing young girls and their families, each one of them beca nervous.
Hearing this, Hua Gesang too clenched her fists, her eyes filled with tension and excitent.
"Now we will begin the first challenge, the Talent Assessnt. All won participating in the election, please co forward to the plaza," a Dharma King in a large red robe stepped forward and announced.
The surrounding crowd started to stir.
One by one, the young girls made their way to the plaza at the front.
"Go on, Ge Sang, just do your best," Adam said to Ge Sang.
Ge Sang nodded earnestly.
Then he stepped out from the crowd and walked onto the battle platform.
Xu Nian watched Ge Sang's departing figure, a smile appearing on his face as well.
Seeing Ge Sang easily brought to mind the image of Murong Xue.
He wondered how Murong Xue was getting on in the Tiancang Sect.
Soon, all the won participating in the election had taken their places on the platform in front.
To everyone's surprise, there were nearly a thousand won participating in the election.
"Next, I will use the Light Testing Technique, and at that ti, light will fall upon you and sacred halos will appear around you. The more halos that appear, the higher your talent. Only those with at least three halos will qualify; all others will be eliminated. Those with more than three halos show higher talent, we'll proceed in groups of ten," the Dharma King in the great red robe announced.
After speaking, he began to perform the Light Testing Technique.
Instantly, a cascade of light fell upon the ten young girls in the center.
However, to everyone's astonishnt, of those ten, nine did not have any halos light up.
Only one had a faint halo rise from beneath her feet.
Seeing this, surprise was etched on the faces of the people all around.
Could it be that the talent assessnt of the Luotian Saint Sect was this difficult?
The young girls participating in the assessnt imdiately beca even more nervous.
Not having a halo or having only one ant being eliminated in the first round.
Without a chance to beco the Holy Daughter.
Xu Nian was also sowhat astonished.
Clearly, the Luotian Sect's assessnt was not just about one's cultivation talent.
It also tested a person's power of insight into the light attribute elents.
So people were naturally without the power of insight into the Light Elent or had it only very weakly.
For such a person, cultivating the Profound Arguntation of the Light Attribute would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
People like Xu Nian, who could perceive multiple attribute elents,
And each one impressively strong, could be described as monstrous.
Xu Nian had tested Hua Ge Sang's talent; it was definitely at the Emperor Level without a doubt, just a hair away from the Desolate Level.
In terms of cultivation talent, she had no issue.
But as for her power of insight into the Light Attribute, Xu Nian had no clue.
"All fail!"
Another group of girls was eliminated.
They all walked off the platform, faces filled with dejection.
Soon, more than half were filtered out, and less than ten girls who could manifest three halos remained.
This left the remaining young won extrely anxious.
"Look, five halos!"
Just as the Dharma King was conducting the test for the third-to-last group, an exclamation rang out in the arena.
Suddenly, all eyes turned to one girl among the ten, on whom flashed a conspicuous five halos.
Even the Holy Temple Law King showed a look of surprise.
This was the highest number of halos he had seen so far in the testing.
And five halos were the sa level as the previous Holy Daughter.
The young girl stood with proud posture, her red dress extraordinarily enchanting under the sunlight.
"It's Miss Lisa, Lord Governor's daughter," soone in the crowd recognized the girl and exclaid in surprise.
A buzz of astonishnt rippled through the surroundings.
And on Lord Governor Entas's face, a radiant smile spread wide.
