A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

a few days later.

Over Brittany, the capital of the HRE, two figures came from the horizon at great speed, cut through the clouds, and finally stood high in the sky.

The city construction in Brittany is magnificent, even more spectacular than Tianjing. Various high-rise buildings in the city center have begun to take shape. Lu Yuan looked down at the city from a high position and nodded slightly:
"Is this your capital? It's quite impressive."

Behind him, Holy Roman Pope Saint Peter's face turned pale and he was panting. He looked like he had run out of fuel and said reluctantly:

"Although it has good weather, its history is not as long as Tianjing, which makes the immortals laugh."

Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at him:
"You used the so-called holy baptism ceremony to break through. It seems that the foundation is not stable. Sure enough, this method still has disadvantages?"

The Holy Land of Shinra is less than 40,000 miles away from the New Kingdom. Normally, according to Lu Yuan's flying speed of more than a thousand miles per hour, plus the time required for meditation and recovery, it would only take three or four days to arrive.

But it actually took him nearly six days.

The main reason was that St. Peter was holding him back. Not only could this Holy Ra Pope not be able to compare with him in flying speed, but his endurance was even worse. He often had to resume his practice after flying for two or three hours.

This is of course due to the fact that he has not fully recovered from his bed trauma, but more importantly, his own cultivation foundation is obviously a bit frivolous, and it seems to be the drawback of using the so-called holy baptism ceremony to break through.

"Your Excellency is comparable to a god, so naturally I cannot compare with you."

Saint Peter smiled bitterly:

"The Holy Land Sanctuary is down there, please follow me."

He was the first to land down, followed by Lu Yuan. The two people's descent from the sky quickly attracted the attention of many Shinra people in the city, and they all shouted in shock:
"Look, what is that!?"

"Then, that seems to be His Majesty the Pope? His Majesty the Pope has returned from the new country!?"

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Pope on his triumphal return. Wait, who is the other person?"

The news about what happened in the new country in the past few days was limited to the upper echelons, and the middle and lower levels of the Shinra people had no idea. Seeing the Pope flying from the sky, countless believers knelt down to worship devoutly, but some people discovered something was wrong. Looking at Lu Yuan's figure in surprise, he didn't know what was going on.

Regardless of the turmoil in the city, St. Peter soon led Lu Yuan to land above the central holy land. In front of him was the majestic St. Peter's Cathedral, and behind the church was the sanctuary built against the mountain.

What is particularly spectacular is that the lower part of the mountain on which the sanctuary rests is rugged and steep, but the top part is carved into a huge cross statue, which can be clearly seen almost no matter where you are. This statue of the Passion of God.

Saint Peter glanced over the statue, sighing silently in his heart, then turned around and asked:
"All the important secrets and books of the Holy See are stored in the secret hall of St. Peter's Basilica. As for everything related to the baptism ceremony, they are in the sanctuary. What do you plan to see first?"

Lu Yuan looked at everything around him with interest:
"Let's go see the baptism ceremony first."

"Please, your Excellency, follow me."

Saint Peter was nearly a hundred years old, and he had once stood at the top of power. But at this moment, facing a being like Lu Yuan who transcended reality, he seemed flexible, respectful and polite. He crossed the church and landed directly in front of the sanctuary. A group of Shinra people, dressed like knights and extremely capable, rushed over quickly and said in surprise:

"Your Majesty the Pope, why are you back?"

"And who is this!?"

Lu Yuan has black hair and black eyes, and can also fly in the air. He is obviously the world-famous Chinese Immortal.

However, Shinra and Shenzhou Immortal were clearly hostile, so why did the other party appear in the Holy Land of the Holy See?
What the hell happened! ?

Facing the surprised and suspicious looks, Saint Peter just coughed lightly:
"This is the Shenzhou Immortal. He is an unparalleled being in the world. Even I am ashamed of myself. Now that the Holy See has reached a cooperative relationship with the New Kingdom, I have specially invited the Immortal to come to the Holy Land as a guest. Don't make a fuss."

???

guest?

Everyone in the Holy Land knew that the Pope had left the country and was pointing his sword at China to compete with the gods of China. Everyone in the Holy Land knew about it. The elite paladins could not have imagined that in just a few days, their words would change. ?
Everyone looked at each other, but did not dare to question, and immediately retreated in confusion. Saint Peter personally led Lu Yuan to the sanctuary.

The sanctuary was built against the mountain. A huge stone door engraved with various pictures and Shinra language was closed tightly. He turned his head and said politely:
"Your Excellency Immortal, please insert the holy spear into the doorway."

The Spear of Longinus is needed as a key to open the sanctuary. St. Peter has already mentioned this. Lu Yuan immediately raised his hand and sank the Spear of Longinus captured from the other party into a doorway above the stone door. , and then saw a roar as the heavy stone door slowly moved away, revealing an ancient and vicissitudes of majestic palace in front of it.

Stepping into it, the walls of the palace are hollowed out mountains, with a large number of reliefs carved on them. I don't know whether they record myths and legends or important figures of the Holy See. After walking all the way into the inner hall, you can see an altar sitting in the center. It is engraved with a large number of golden and complex lines, revealing an extremely holy atmosphere from the inside out.

Lu Yuan flew up, lowered his head and looked carefully for a long time, then narrowed his eyes:
"Interesting, this is obviously some kind of formation, Saint Peter. Are you sure this baptism ceremony was created by one of your popes?"

Saint Peter's eyes narrowed slightly:

"The history of the Holy Baptism Ceremony is at least four to five hundred years ago. According to the records of the Holy See, this Holy Baptism Ceremony was created by Pope Clement I who received God's revelation in his sleep. Your Excellency the Immortal said this What does it mean? "

"It is pure nonsense that God inspired and created this method."

Lu Yuan suddenly sneered, and golden light bloomed on his fingertips, illuminating four strange runes arranged in four directions in the center of the altar:
"Lin, Bing, Du, Zhe, these are not your Western runes, but ancient Chinese characters from ancient China. Could it be that your pope had a dream from a Taoist deity? What a joke!"

As he spoke, he used light to write these four words on the open space aside in the modern immortal way.

Saint Peter was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he couldn't help but be startled at this moment. He hurried forward and looked carefully at the four runes shining in the light, and compared them with the words written by Lu Yuan on the side.

The more he looked, the more obvious the change in his expression became:
"Lin, Bing, Du, are indeed very similar."

"But how is this possible? How come ancient Chinese characters appear in the baptism ceremony that gathers and refines the power of faith?"

“If it wasn’t God’s revelation, how on earth did Clement I create the baptismal ceremony?”

Lu Yuan sneered:
"Needless to say, what God's revelation is is obviously a complete lie. I'm afraid he didn't know where he got the secret method from China, so he came up with this so-called holy baptism ceremony. He didn't want people to know that it was originally from For things in China, we can only claim that they are revelations from your God.”

St. Peter's face was not very good-looking, and he did not even refute:

"It is recorded in the Pope's biography that Clement I was indeed proficient in Chinese culture, familiar with many classics, and even exchanged letters with the then Emperor of Jing Dynasty. It is indeed possible." Lu Yuan did not bother to delve deeper for the time being. road:

"How should this baptismal ceremony be initiated?"

St. Peter's eyes flickered, and he even said with a little expectation:
"You need to sit in the center of the altar, pray devoutly, empty your mind, and then use your own blood and vitality to inspire the sacred pattern. This will trigger the ceremony, extract the power of the faith of hundreds of millions of believers enshrined in the holy statue on the mountain, and refine yourself."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at him playfully, without saying much, and immediately made a seal with his hand, and his whole body glowed with dazzling mana.

Then in just a few blinks, an ethereal figure that was almost exactly the same as himself walked out of the mana light, then landed lightly on the altar under control, and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Saint Peter's eyes trembled and his expression changed with horror:
"Clone?"

Lu Yuan had no time to pay attention and controlled the magic clone to start the holy baptism ceremony.

He is now a monk in the late stage of refining qi. Calculated, he is probably comparable to a monk in the foundation building stage. With his methods, it would not be difficult even without Saint Peter to start the holy baptism ceremony.

While groping, he saw that the mana incarnation that was exactly the same as him formed a seal with his hands, and then gently touched the center point of the formation with one finger.

Buzz.
The next moment, amid an indescribable and huge fluctuation, all the complicated lines on the entire altar lit up, blooming with strange brilliance, forming an extremely mysterious and mysterious formation.

At the same time, in the hollow at the top of the entire hall, a holy beam of light containing inexplicable power suddenly descended, shrouding the mana clone, making the clone look like a god.

Lu Yuan, who was outside the altar, immediately realized that the beam of light coming down from the top of the hall was none other than the embodied power of incense, or the power of faith!
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan successfully started the baptism ceremony on his first try. Saint Peter beside him suddenly had dull eyes and doubted his life;
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, frowned and stared closely at the mana clone shrouded in the beam of faith:

"This seems to be somewhat similar in nature to the power of destiny collected by the Heavenly Book, but it is much inferior."

"This kind of power can actually help people break through?"

His thoughts just moved.

A loud bang!
The mana clone on the altar seemed unable to withstand the training of the power of faith and collapsed immediately.

Losing a clone with less than one tenth of the mana is nothing. Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly:
"Sure enough, although this power of faith has been refined, it still contains the most urgent prayers and wishes of countless believers in the Holy See. The impact of this kind of chaotic thoughts will greatly affect people's minds. If they cannot bear it, they will become crazy. Even idiots may explode and die on the spot.”

"But if you can survive it, you can use it to refine your body, temper your mind, and break through your own limits. In theory, as long as you have a strong body and a strong will, you can successfully break through."

"In addition, there may be other disadvantages after baptism with this power of faith, but I can't tell for a while."

"Not bad, not bad. Traveling thousands of miles away, this trip is not in vain."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan would figure out the mystery of the baptismal ceremony so quickly. St. Peter even felt chilled in his heart. He suppressed his fear and complimented:

"Your Excellency, the Immortal, has a sharp eye and a clear understanding of everything, which makes people fall in love."

Lu Yuan glanced over:

"Saint Peter, I want you to first find out all the relevant information about Clement I, especially the origin of this baptismal ceremony.

Don't think about it. If I can't find the answer, I won't leave Shinra. If necessary, I don't mind turning all your senior officials into puppets. Do you understand? "

Now he just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible to recuperate and heal his wounds. Saint Peter had no intention of being submissive and took a deep breath and said:
"Don't worry, I will do my best to collect relevant records and information for you!"

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled:

"very good."

St. Peter's efficiency was even higher than Lu Yuan expected.

Just three days later, he led several priests stationed in the Holy Land, holding a large pile of documents and materials, to the Holy House where Lu Yuan was temporarily staying and studying, and said with a little joy:

"Your Excellency Immortal, we found it!"

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan, who was still studying the arrangements for the baptism ceremony, suddenly raised his head and looked at:

"What did you find?"

St. Peter immediately took out the top parchment and held it in front of Lu Yuan with both hands:
"This is a secret file about Clement I. It records that before he was buried, he asked his heirs to put three relics into the coffin and be buried with him.

The three relics are the first scepter made for him by believers when he became pope, the knight's nameplate he received when he was first elected to the Holy Knights, and the last one is a piece of bronze of unknown origin. Fragments.

We now suspect that the last bronze scroll may be related to the baptism ceremony! "

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan took the parchment from his hand, glanced at it and determined that the content on it was not fake, and nodded immediately:
"Where is that bronze scroll now?"

The parchment does indeed record the life of Clement I in the HRE language, as well as three burial objects, the last of which is questionable.

The reason why he was able to understand the Shinra language was because he relied on a newly-illuminated earth evil technique: [Soul Capturing].

This technique can not only take out the soul of a person directly and make the soul fly away, but it can also search the soul and read the memory at a more advanced level, which is very domineering.

Lu Yuan lit up this operation and directly promoted it to the earth level, and then asked Saint Peter to send a few Shinra criminals to try.

As a result, he successfully read the memories of these people and quickly mastered the Shinra language.

In three days, he completely mastered a language and easily understood all the Vatican archives. St. Peter was frightened when he learned about it. This is the direct reason why he was so cooperative and devoted himself to the investigation! (End of chapter)
