Chapter 14: Baptism into the Sect (Page 1/2).
Fang Che looked up.
The five people above did not wear masks.
Because there was no need.
The One Heart Sect was a subordinate unit of the Only True Sect. Once you passed this test, you were a member of the Only True Sect. If you couldn't pass this test, you would never leave alive.
At this point, there was no need to cover up.
Among them, one person was eight feet tall, looking very majestic. Standing there, he had a different kind of demeanor.
The other three are all elderly with white hair, one slightly chubby, one skinny like a monkey, and the third short and chubby, white and fat, like a wealthy man.
"There is no need to introduce ourselves first. We can do it after the baptism is complete."
The man in the middle said.
"Yes."
The other four nodded simultaneously.
"This kid is also considered fortunate. Since the establishment of our One Heart Sect, there has only been one who underwent the baptism of our doctrine with all five of us at the same time."
The man in the middle chuckled, giving off a surprisingly warm feeling.
He didn't seem like the legendary big demon.
The others laughed at the same time. Sun Yuan chuckled: "It's this kid's luck."
Then, the man in the middle took out a plate of green thread incense from his bosom and held it out with his fingers.
Sun Yuan said: "Let me do it."
"It's okay."
The man took out a knife, made a cut, and blood gushed from his fingertip, dripping onto the thread incense.
The other four's faces were full of fanaticism as they took the knife and cut their fingers, letting blood drip onto the thread incense.
Then they used their techniques, and the true spirit fire ignited the thread incense. A wisp of green smoke coiled around a red thread, slowly entering the nostrils of the centipede god on the shrine.
There was no leakage at all.
When the thread incense burned a third of the way, the centipede god's eyes suddenly lit up.
A ball of green light tightly enveloped Fang Che's whole body.
Fang Che's heart trembled, knowing that the test had begun.
Whether he could pass it depended on the power of this centipede god.
Life-and-death crisis!
This was the test of the Only True Sect that countless people in the past couldn't figure out and couldn't crack.
He quietly activated the Heart Sutra of the infinite Sutra and released control over the Five Spirits Gu in his body.
During this period of time, Fang Che had to practice with the Five Spirits Gu in his body dozens of times every day on average.
He uses the infinite sutra to torture and then constantly restore; in simple terms, it's like hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date—a continuous cycle.
All for today.
"God of the Heavenly Centipede, disciple prays, the sect recruits, the Only True Path; with incense as proof, blood as a guide; sincere prayers, hoping for clarity; harboring different intentions, is to seek revenge; sincere disciples, should be the backbone. The Only True Path commands the martial world, ruling over the world, overlooking the mountains and rivers!"
The man in the middle held the thread of incense and recited slowly.
The burning speed of the thread incense suddenly accelerated.
The eyes of the centipede god also became brighter.
Finally, the thread incense burned out.
The man turned around and said to Fang Che: "Kneel down! Look up."
Fang Che remained calm and knelt down slowly.
He lifted his head.
The green light in the eyes of the centipede god shot into Fang Che's eyes in an instant.
The green light instantly took over his body, and the Five Spirits Gu in his Dantian were activated.
A green spot appeared on Fang Che's body, slowly moving and gradually speeding up.
The green light lingered around.
It seemed like something was communicating with the Five Spirits Gu.
Throughout the process, Fang Che's consciousness was completely clear, but he had completely lost control of his body.
He could clearly feel that the Five Spirits Gu were communicating with something.
And the emotions were very intense.
It was a feeling of fear, excitement, and great fear. It seemed to accuse Fang Che of how he had abused them, and it was the kind of endless, verbose accusation, a complaint.
There was a strong sense of 'you must be my advocate; this Fang Che is the most terrifying demon' kind of emotion.
Sun Yuan and the other four stared, unable to help but feel amazed.
Because the Five Spirits Gu were very lively, much more lively and powerful than any of the Five Spirits Gu in anyone who had undergone the baptism of doctrine before!
And this time, the baptism of doctrine took a longer time.
In the past, it was completed in a very short time; a trace of the centipede god's divine thought would immediately depart.
But this time, it had already been going on for half an hour.
It's not over yet!
Sun Yuan's face showed anxiety, but he dared not speak.
Finally... after fifteen minutes.
The green light flashed, and a clear message was transmitted to everyone in a very peaceful manner. Moreover, there was a kind of 'appreciation' emotion.
All five of them were delighted!
Appreciation!!
It's worth noting that in the many years of the Only True Sect, instances where the divine thought of the centipede god showed emotions were few and far between.
And this time, there was such a clear sense of 'appreciation.'
This is really rare!
"The baptism of doctrine is complete!"
The green light flickered, returning to the centipede god, and then the light in the centipede god's eyes quietly faded away, disappearing into nothingness.
The eyes of the man in the middle lit up with a strange light as he looked at Fang Che, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Sun Yuan burst into laughter and said: "Master, isn't my disciple great?!"
It was only then that Fang Che realized that the man in front of him was actually the leader of the One Heart Sect.
Legend has it that he was the great demon who ravaged the world, known as the 'Blood Spirit Butcher' of Yin Shen Gong.
So, who were the other three?
"I am the leader of the One Heart Sect, Yin Shen Gong."
Yin Shen Gong smiled and said: "This is the Great Acolyte, Lùxīn Jiàn, Mù Lín Yuǎn."
Fang Che immediately bowed respectfully to the slightly chubby, white-haired old man.
"This is the Second Acolyte, Dúxīn Shén'āo, Hóu Fāng."
The skinny old man who resembled a monkey.
"And this is the Third Acolyte, Bālù Cáishén, Qián Sānjiāng."
The short, chubby, white, and fat old man.
Fang Che paid his respects one by one, feeling puzzled.
He couldn't understand this One Heart Sect. Why would they, for someone like him, personally involve the leader and the three great acolytes?
Wasn't that too much respect?
He couldn't help but look at Sun Yuan.
Yin Shen Gong smiled and said: "Your master is also an acolyte in our sect."
But out of respect, he didn't say anything like, 'These three are first-level acolytes, while your master is a third-level acolyte'.
Sun Yuan knew what was going on, couldn't help but feel a flush on his face, quickly restrained his expression, and looked righteous and upright.
Inscrutable and profound.
"It turns out that Master is so powerful." Fang Che interjected with admiration at the right moment.
Sun Yuan's eyebrows even raised in a smile.
Yin Shen Gong smiled faintly, then looked at Fang Che's face. "You, boy, have struck it rich this time, right? The Su family must have a lot of assets."
"I didn't touch anything. There should be jewelry in a few boxes, as well as several tens of millions in gold certificates."
Fang Che said calmly, "Those are not mine. I am just keeping them safe. When Su Yue comes back, everything will be returned to its rightful owner."
