The slightly fat registration officer of the Guangming Cult in front of him was very confused and asked: "From Blazing Fire City? Why did you come to Tianlong City to participate in the Baptism of Light?"
"Uh... I only planned to join the Guangming Cult when I came to Tianlong City, so I came here."
"Brother, I'm not talking about you. It's really a waste of your fire spirit to join the Light God Religion. You might as well join the Blazing Flame Palace in your southern region."
Ye Hong asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
"Although I am also a member of the Light God Religion now, I still want to say a word of conscience.
You have fire-attribute spiritual roots, and although your cultivation level is not high, if you work harder and gain better connections in Blazing Flame Palace, you may not be able to do well in the future. There is still a high chance of getting ahead.
But it's different if you join the Light God's Cult. With your fire-attribute spiritual roots, it's impossible to become a light envoy after joining the Light God's Cult. You can only be a light believer like me for the rest of your life. "
Ye Hong was very confused, "Why can't you become a light envoy or be promoted to an elder?"
The registration staff was very surprised, "You don't even know this? There are conditions for being promoted to a Light Envoy. The first one is that you must have a light attribute spiritual root! You still want to be promoted to an elder? Brother, are you awake?"
"Uh...I really don't know that."
"It's still too late for you to quit before you undergo the baptism of light. You have to think clearly. Once you undergo the baptism of light and join the Religion of Light, you will no longer be able to join other forces. There will be no chance of quitting the Religion of Light in the future. "
Ye Hong thought about it and thought that he had no intention of joining any force. Now he joined the Guangming Cult just to understand the Guangming Cult and get the ninth-level demon core. This had no impact on him, so he didn't take it seriously.
"I still want to join the Religion of Light."
"Okay! I've said what needs to be said. Since you insist on joining, we will be members of the same religion from now on! My name is Zhao Yan, and I am at the sixth level of the Soul Tribulation Realm." Zhao Yan said enthusiastically.
"Brother Zhao Yan, can I go to the Baptism of Light now?"
Zhao Yan handed a jade token to Ye Hong, "Okay, this is your identity token. Just take it and enter the middle of the square in a moment. The baptism of light will begin in about a quarter of an hour.
Come to me again when the baptism of light is over, and I will take you to the Newcomer Hall to report. "
Ye Hong followed Zhao Yan's instructions and walked to the middle of the square. The last time he came, he was focused on looking for Feng Shuting and there were many people, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation around the square.
This time I came to participate in the baptism of light. There were not many people in the square. Now I had to wait here for a quarter of an hour before the baptism of light could begin. During this time, Ye Hong began to take stock of the surrounding environment.
There are eight thick stone pillars erected around the square, with some incomprehensible patterns carved on them. There is a statue near the main hall of the Guangming Sect, which is very majestic and solemn.
This statue has wings on its back and holds a staff. It is lifelike and majestic like a god. Ye Hong stared at the statue for a while, feeling like he wanted to surrender.
Ye Hong hurriedly looked away from the statue, feeling shocked in his heart.
"This statue is extraordinary!"
A quarter of an hour later, there were only a hundred people in the square. It was obvious that these people were here to participate in the baptism of light.
Soon an old man flew in from a distance and hung in front of the statue.
He said to everyone in the square who was participating in the baptism of light: "I am Lang Can, the elder of the church who is presiding over the baptism of light this time. The baptism of light will begin immediately. If anyone is mentally unstable, you can leave now."
After waiting for a while and seeing no one leaving, Elder Langcan continued,
"After passing the baptism of light, you must abide by the teachings of my religion, punish evil and promote good! Support justice! Get rid of darkness! All believers who are planning to join my religion of light, get ready!"
"Punish evil and promote good! Support justice! Get rid of darkness!"
There were constant shouts in the square, and the eyes of the believers were firm and full of reverence. Afraid that it would be too embarrassing not to shout alone, Ye Hong also chimed in.
"Now that you are all ready! The baptism of light will begin immediately! May the light shine on the earth, you are all favored by the light, and the God of Light will protect you!"
"All the light envoys are in place! The ceremony begins!"
As Elder Langcan shouted loudly, the eight light envoys flew towards the eight stone pillars.
Then a staff appeared floating in front of Elder Langcan and the eight Light Envoys. The nine of them muttered words, and the staff in front of them emitted a dazzling light.
Slowly, the staff in the statue behind Elder Langcan also lit up, shining brightly, and then gradually gathered into the square. The light of the ten staffs gathered together, just enough to completely envelope everyone in the square.
"Immortal light! Please grant your loyal believers the baptism of light in the name of light!"
Langcan's whole body emitted strong fluctuations of light elements, surrounded by light, opened his hands, raised his arms and shouted.
Ye Hong, who was in the square, only felt that he was trapped in a world with only light, a vast expanse of white. These lights seemed to penetrate his body, making his whole person particularly transparent.
When the light dissipated, Ye Hong felt particularly comfortable and relaxed all over, as if the heavy impurities in his body had been removed and his body became much lighter.
In addition, the internal force in the body is running faster and smoother than before. This is really not a good thing for Ye Hong, because the fire element gathers in the heart faster.
Just after all the light dissipated, Ye Hong suddenly felt a stinging pain on his right wrist, which was a little hot.
Ye Hong hurriedly opened it to check and found that there was a dazzling light on his wrist. Just as Ye Hong stared at it for a moment, the dazzling light disappeared, leaving only a shallow mark.
The shape of this mark looks familiar. If you look closely, it is somewhat similar to the pattern of the Guangming Cult. Ye Hong wiped it with his hands, but he couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard he tried, as if it was embedded in his flesh.
"I'll wipe it! What the hell is this?"
A person nearby saw Ye Hong wiping the mark on his hand vigorously and said, "Brother, don't bother, this mark cannot be erased. Unless you die, this mark will always exist."
"What?" Ye Hong was immediately confused.
At this time, another person next to him said: "Brother, are you okay with your mind? This mark is the emblem of light. Only with it can we be considered members of the Light Religion. No matter how many people want it, we can't have it."
"Uh...then what's the use of this mark? Just to prove your identity?"
"Don't you know the benefits of becoming a formal member of the Religion of Light? After becoming a formal member, we can enjoy the honor of the Religion of Light, and we represent the Religion of Light outside. That is a supreme honor."
Ye Hong's face twitched, he was speechless, and he was complaining wildly in his heart.
'I don't need this useless glory, so it's better to have some practical experience. It's really unpleasant to be branded. I thought I would just issue an identity token and be done with it, but I didn't expect this to happen. '
At this time, Elder Langcan took back his staff and said to everyone in the square,
"The ceremony is over! Now you are all formal members of our religion. While you enjoy the glory of the Light Religion, you must also punish evil and promote good, support justice, and get rid of darkness.
As official members of the Guangming Cult, you can also take on tasks within the Guangming Cult to obtain rewards, points, and training resources.
In addition, all of you who have light attribute spiritual roots will have the opportunity to be promoted to junior light envoys after reaching the golden elixir stage and reaching the required points. The light envoys can receive a training resource every month. "
Then Elder Langcan finally ended the entire baptism of light ceremony after another lengthy speech.
Seeing the people in the square who had experienced the baptism of light disperse, Lang Can let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over. It's really hard for me, an old man, to host this ceremony alone. Those old ghosts are really chicken thieves. They knew they were accompanying the saint, and they all ran away."
Lang Can sighed helplessly and disappeared into the square after a while.
After the ceremony, Ye Hong came to Zhao Yan. According to Zhao Yan, he was now going to report to the Newcomer Hall.
Zhao Yan was not the only one registering in the square, but several people were also responsible for registering. In addition to Ye Hong, Zhao Yan also registered more than 20 people next to him.
"You have gained a lot after undergoing the baptism of light! This baptism of light is comparable to taking a marrow cleansing pill, which is of great benefit to your cultivation." Zhao Yan said to the twenty or so people following him.
"It's really a big gain. I feel like I have signs of a breakthrough."
"Me too, I feel like I will be able to break through soon."
"It turns out that the baptism of light has this effect. No wonder I feel that my movements are much faster when I am practicing."
Everyone around was talking non-stop, their faces filled with joy. Only Ye Hong was a little distressed and couldn't be happy.
Seeing Ye Hong's frown, Zhao Yan asked, "Brother Ye Hong, you don't seem to be very happy. Isn't there anything gained?"
Ye Hong felt depressed. Now that his internal energy was running faster, it was completely urging him to die. How could he be happy? When Zhao Yan asked, Ye Hong forced a smile.
"fine!"
Zhao Yan patted Ye Hong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged if you haven't gained strength in the Baptism of Light. There are many treasures in the sect, and there are also a lot of pills to improve your cultivation. In the future, you can do more tasks to earn enough points. I can change anything I want!”
Hearing this, Ye Hong became more energetic, thinking that the ninth-level demon core from the Guangming God Sect was placed in the treasure house as a reward.
He asked excitedly: "Brother Zhao Yan, where are we going to exchange points for training resources? What can we exchange for?"
"There are so many things that can be exchanged, and I can't remember too many. After checking in for a while, I will take you to the points exchange office. You will definitely be satisfied after seeing it. It will definitely make you high-spirited and complete tasks like me in the future. .”
With Zhao Yan saying this, Ye Hong was even more curious about what kind of training resources could be redeemed at the points exchange center within the Guangming Cult, and whether there would be the ninth-level demon core he wanted.
After Zhao Yan led everyone to the Newcomer Hall, they simply registered. The main thing is that the registration personnel like Zhao Yan had to hand over the registration book to the steward of the Newcomer Hall and verify the list one by one.
The stewards of the Newcomer Hall will verify the identities of Ye Hong and others who have just passed the baptism of light one by one, take soul marks, and make rubbings in the book. The Guangming Cult will also know who dies in the future.
After checking all the people, the steward dismissed everyone and went to do what they were supposed to do.
