Chapter 22:

"It is said that after the barbarians of the ancient grasslands snatched a woman, they would kill her first child because they could not be sure if it was their own ..."

Aaron Sotos walked in Blacksun Town. "But, we Green Forest people are at least a little stronger than the grassland barbarians, right?"

Thinking of the bloody sacrifice of the [Green Banyan Tree Grandmother], Aaron could not help but feel a little guilty.

However, he quickly put all this behind him.

Because in front of him, Xiu had already knelt at the feet of the high priest and put on a black robe.

"Congratulations, the new member!"

The high priest had a pleasant smile on his face. From his eyes, his mouth and nose, it seemed that black flames would flow down at any time.

"I am willing to worship the Black Sun as my Lord and practice his path!"

Xiu's cheeks were a little thin, but her eyes were full of spirit.

Aaron could see that this woman must have tried the breathing and meditation of the church and reached a certain level.

"Black Flame Meditation can be divided into four levels, namely red flame, yellow flame, blue flame, and purple flame. You have passed the red flame test ..."

The high priest was very happy. "You can start the ritual of immortality and become a real 'immortal'."

He motioned for the black-robed believer to come forward and bring over a burning brazier.

"As long as the spirituality awakens, ordinary flames will not be able to hurt you."

The high priest stretched out his hand and reached into the flame.

"I ..."

Xiu gritted her teeth and put her hand into the flame.

Sizzle!

A sharp pain came in an instant, and the smell of burning flesh immediately spread.

Not far away, Eyke and Lin, who were watching, immediately closed their eyes and could not bear to watch.

However, even though Xiu's face was twitching, She still held the high priest's hand in the flame.

"Very good. It is inevitable that you will get a little hurt on your first try."

The high priest removed the brazier and saw Xiu's badly burned right hand. A smile appeared on his face. "Try more. Let the body feel the heat of the flame. This will help the awakening of spirituality."

"I will follow your teachings."

A smile appeared on Xiu's sweat-soaked face.

"Aunt Xiu!"

"Mm, you can leave first!"

After sending the maid away, Aaron faced the flames and tried to meditate.

The Black Flame Meditation Technique required reference to flames. He began to imagine flames of different colors burning in his mind space, burning his body, and then stepped over them one by one.

And according to the teachings of the high priest, before each meditation, he had to pray to the Black Sun, hoping to be closer to that existence during meditation.

Aaron felt that he probably would not be able to master this meditation technique, but he did not give up and gave it a try.

One hour, two hours ...

Three hours ...

After changing the brazier a few times, Aaron opened his eyes and reached out to grab the flames burning in the brazier.

"Hiss ..."

The next moment, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and a burning pain came from his fingertips.

"I can't do it at all ..."

"If I continue, my hand will be roasted ..."

"If outsiders see this, they might think I'm crazy!"

Aaron shook his head and let the puzzled Daly take the brazier away before closing the door.

The moment he closed the door, he seemed to see the maid's gaze. It was a gaze of pity for a fool and concern for a mentally handicapped person.

"She saw it?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she saw it ..."

Aaron sat back at the desk, opened the locked drawer, and took out his notebook.

[Attempted Black Flame Meditation Technique, failed!]

[Conclusion: I might not be suitable for the path of Immortality or perhaps ... this is really a world without magic?]

[Spirituality exists in all things in that world, but it does not exist in this world ... Then, where does spirituality come from?]

Aaron suddenly thought of the scarlet sun in the dream world.

Also, according to Xiu, after the Great Cataclysm, everyone went crazy, and the craziest people turned into monsters.

[So ... the humans in that world did not have spirituality, but were given spirituality by the scarlet sun? So, the craziest ones were also the ones with the most spirituality. Even if they did not go on the right path, they could still mutate into monsters?]

He suddenly felt that this was a very reasonable explanation.

[So ... I'm the root of everything?!]

Aaron suddenly thought of the information he had obtained.
