Chapter 14: Doctrine Baptism
Chapter 14: Doctrine Baptism
Fang Che looked up.
The five people above were not wearing masks.
There was no need.
The Unity Sect was a subordinate organization of the Sole Truth Sect. Those who passed this test would become members of the Sole Truth Sect, and those who failed would never leave alive.
At this point, there was no need to hide.
The person in the middle was eight feet tall, exuding an aura of authority. He stood there with a unique demeanor.
The other three were all elderly, their hair and beards white. One was slightly overweight, another was as thin as a monkey, and the third was short and plump, looking like a wealthy landowner.
"No need for introductions yet. We'll introduce ourselves after the doctrine baptism is complete."
The person in the middle said.
"Yes."
The other four nodded simultaneously.
"This boy is quite fortunate. Since our Unity Sect was established, this seems to be the first time all five of us are conducting a doctrine baptism together."
The person in the middle laughed heartily, giving off a sense of warmth that was far from the terrifying image of a great demon.
The others laughed as well. Sun Gongfeng said with a smile, "This is the boy's good fortune."
Then, the person in the middle took out a tray of green incense from his sleeve and extended his finger.
Sun Gongfeng said, "Let me do it."
"No need."
The person took out a knife and made a cut on his fingertip, causing blood to drip onto the incense.
The other four looked intensely excited, each taking a knife to cut their fingers, letting blood drip onto the incense.
They then used their inner energy, igniting the incense with true spirit fire. A wisp of green smoke, intertwined with a red thread, rose and slowly entered the nostrils of the Heavenly Centipede God statue on the altar.
Not a trace leaked out.
When the incense had burned to about one-third, the eyes of the Heavenly Centipede God suddenly lit up.
A green light enveloped Fang Che's entire body.
Fang Che's heart tightened, knowing the test had begun.
Whether he could pass this test depended on the power of the Heavenly Centipede God.
This was a life-or-death crisis!
It was a test that countless people in his previous life had never been able to guess or solve, the Sole Truth Sect's test.
He quietly focused on the Heart Method of the Boundless Scripture, releasing control over the Quintessence Worm inside his body.
During this period, Fang Che had been training the Quintessence Worm inside his body dozens of times every day.
Using the Boundless Scripture to torment it, then restoring it, in a cycle of punishment and reward.
All for today.
"Great Heavenly Centipede Deity, your disciple prays. The righteous path welcomes new members; with incense as proof and blood as the guide; with sincere prayers, hoping for clear insight; those with ulterior motives are enemies; sincere disciples are the core. The righteous path commands the world; ruling the universe, overlooking the mountains and rivers!"
The person in the middle held the incense and recited slowly.
The incense burned much faster.
The eyes of the Heavenly Centipede God became increasingly bright.
Finally, the incense burned out completely.
The person turned and said to Fang Che, "Kneel! Look up."
Fang Che's expression was calm as he slowly knelt down.
He looked up.
The green light from the Heavenly Centipede God's eyes instantly entered Fang Che's eyes.
The green light took control of his body, and the Quintessence Worm in his dantian was activated.
A green dot appeared on Fang Che's body, moving slowly, gradually speeding up.
The green light swirled around.
It seemed to be communicating with the Quintessence Worm.
Throughout the process, Fang Che's consciousness was completely clear, but he had no control over his body.
He could feel the Quintessence Worm communicating with something.
And it was very intense.
It was a mix of fear, excitement, and terror. It seemed to be accusing Fang Che of how he had tortured it, in a long, incessant complaint.
There was a strong sense of "You must do something for me; Fang Che is the most terrifying demon."
Sun Gongfeng and the other four watched intently, unable to hide their surprise.
Because the Quintessence Worm was very active, much more so than in any previous doctrine baptism.
And this baptism was taking longer than usual.
In the past, it was always completed in a short time; the Heavenly Centipede God's divine thought would immediately leave.
But this time, it had already lasted half a quarter of an hour.
And it wasn't over yet!
Sun Gongfeng's face showed signs of anxiety, but he dared not speak.
Finally... after a quarter of an hour.
The green light flashed, and a clear message was transmitted to everyone, indicating a peaceful passage. Moreover, there was a sense of "appreciation."
Everyone was overjoyed!
Appreciation!
It was rare for the Heavenly Centipede God's divine thought to show emotions, and in the many years of the Sole Truth Sect, it had only happened a few times.
And this time, there was such a clear sense of "appreciation."
This was truly remarkable!
"Doctrine baptism passed!"
The green light flickered and returned to the Heavenly Centipede God, whose eyes gradually dimmed and faded away.
The person in the middle's eyes glowed with a strange light as he looked at Fang Che, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Sun Gongfeng laughed heartily and said, "Sect Leader, isn't this disciple of mine quite good?!"
Fang Che then realized that the person in the middle was the Sect Leader of the Unity Sect, the notorious "Blood Spirit Butcher" of the Seal God Palace.
So, who were the other three?
"I am the Sect Leader of the Unity Sect, Seal God Palace."
Seal God Palace smiled and said, "This is the Great Offering, Soul Severing Sword, Mu Lin Yuan."
Fang Che immediately bowed respectfully, recognizing the slightly overweight, white-haired elder.
"This is the Second Offering, Poisonous Heart Divine Ape, Hou Fang."
An elderly man, thin and small like a monkey.
"This is the Third Offering, the Eight Paths Wealth Deity, Qian San Jiang."
The white, plump, and short old man.
Fang Che greeted them one by one, feeling puzzled.
This Unity Sect, I don't quite understand. For my small fry baptism, the Sect Leader and the three Grand Offerings are personally involved?
Is this giving too much face?
He couldn't help but glance at Sun Yuan.
The Seal God Palace smiled, "Your master is also an Offering in our sect."
However, out of politeness, he didn't say something like, "These three are First Rank Offerings, and your master is a Third Rank Offering."
Sun Yuan understood, and his face heated up. He quickly composed himself, maintaining a solemn expression.
Mysterious and profound.
"So my master is so powerful," Fang Che said at the right moment.
Sun Yuan's eyebrows rose in amusement.
The Seal God Palace smiled faintly and then looked at Fang Che, "This time, you'll be rich. The Su Clan has quite a fortune, right?"
"I haven't touched them. There should be jewels and several tens of millions of gold notes in those boxes."
Fang Che replied calmly, "Those aren't mine. I'm just holding them in trust. When Su Yue returns, I'll return them to their owner."
The Seal God Palace narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "If he doesn't return, and you encounter a barrier in your cultivation that you can't overcome with your own abilities, and you need to use something from the boxes, what will you do?"
Fang Che replied without hesitation, "Of course, I'll use them if necessary. I'll leave an IOU inside and repay it when I have the chance."
"What if you haven't repaid it by the time he returns?"
"Then I'll give him the IOU as well."
Fang Che didn't hesitate.
The five men exchanged glances.
"He's persistent and not overly rigid. Good."
Mu Lin Yuan smiled and praised.
"But he's still a bit too honest," Qian San Jiang said with a smile.
"Why did the Su Clan members disappear so mysteriously?" The Seal God Palace thought, feeling puzzled.
No one could answer this question.
The Su Clan's actions were too hasty and mysterious.
The Seal God Palace's thoughts quickly shifted.
Looking at Fang Che with interest, he said, "I heard from your master that your aptitude is excellent?"
"It's my master's excessive favor towards his disciple."
"No need for modesty."
The Seal God Palace's eyes flashed, remembering the Heavenly Centipede Deity's appreciation. He couldn't help but speak up, "How about this, since I'm here as a witness of your doctrine baptism, I might as well give you another benefit and see how much you can gain."
Sun Yuan couldn't contain his excitement, "What does the Sect Leader mean?"
The Seal God Palace said, "We came here for another important matter, but we happened to witness this boy's baptism. It's a coincidence and an opportunity for him, and for us as well."
"Since it's fate, we must not let down the Heavenly Centipede Deity's intentions."
The Seal God Palace continued, "The four of us will each teach you a martial art. You have only one hour, and you'll gain as much as you can remember within that time."
He smiled, "I heard that you can remember sword techniques with a glance, and learn a martial art in half a day. Today is also a test for you. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, the three Grand Offerings smiled.
In their opinion, Sun Yuan was probably exaggerating. Where in the world could there be such a genius? An eidetic memory?
You must know that these are all abstruse martial arts.
Sword techniques aren't just about the techniques; they require the coordination of sword energy, heart methods, body movements, and footwork, integrating them into a complete whole.
Remembering them with a glance?
What nonsense!
Sun Yuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Sect Leader and the three Grand Offerings!"
"Don't rush to thank me. Who knows, you might not remember anything at all," Poisonous Heart Divine Ape, Hou Fang, said with a sinister tone.
Fang Che immediately knelt down, "Thank you, Sect Leader and the three Grand Offerings! For this blessing, Fang Che dares not forget. Regardless of whether I can learn it or not, in the future, I'm willing to treat you as my master."
Fang Che spoke with utmost sincerity.
Instantly, the Seal God Palace and the three Grand Offerings felt much more at ease.
"Willing to treat you as my master..." Yes, this is what the Heavenly Centipede Deity appreciates, something that hasn't happened in tens of thousands of years.
As for Fang Che, what's face or reputation? They're all nonsense. Since he's already taken this step, he must spare no effort to climb higher within the Unity Sect!
The higher the position, the more he can do.
This is a tremendous help, something Sun Yuan can't compare to.
And treating them as his master is also genuine.
In the future, he will definitely repay them.
The Seal God Palace's voice softened, "Since the boy is so sincere, I was going to casually teach you a martial art, but I'll teach you the Blood Spirit Seven Swords instead."
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Sun Yuan expressed his delight, while Mu Lin Yuan and the other two were astonished.
Although the Blood Spirit Seven Swords weren't the Seal God Palace's most advanced skill, it was the sword technique that made this Sect Leader famous!
The origin of the Seal God Palace's title, 'Blood Spirit Butcher', was from the Blood Spirit Seven Swords.
Extremely powerful and deadly!
"Pay attention!"
The Seal God Palace drew his sword, his body floated three feet off the ground, and the longsword stood before his chest, "The Blood Spirit Seven Swords, with a special sword technique to assist, has its own practice route, and is also coordinated with a unique body and footwork. Missing any part, and you won't be able to cultivate it to its peak. See how much you can comprehend."
