Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

"Golden Pegasus's radiant horn" is the radiant horn left by the sacred beast "Golden Pegasus" that was active in the "Age of Gods".

At that time, the gods were still walking in the world, and Zhuri Xuyou and its divine domain "Eternal Kingdom" had not yet separated from the world of apocalypse.

"Sacred beasts" did exist widely in the ocean, land and sky in that ancient time. Even though the long river of time has diluted the traces of history, people today can still find traces of the original "sacred beasts" from corners of the world.

And here, Luo Xiu entrusted Mir to help him find the radiant horn of "Pure White Pegasus" or "Golden Pegasus", and his purpose was also very simple-

In the fate of [Glory], the orthodox ritual of summoning "sacred beasts" can rely on the materials left by the "sacred beasts" in ancient times dedicated to "Xuyou" to lock the ritual to summon the "sacred beast" race with a high probability.

Although the materials of the real "holy beast" are now quite scarce, and most of the priests with the fate of [Glorious] summon "holy beasts" basically randomly, Luo Xiu, who has the memory of his previous life, still has some clues about where to find the materials of the "holy beast".

"Golden Pegasus" is "auspicious" in the classification of holy beasts, which is equivalent to the "mad disaster" level of monsters and abyssal beasts. Legend has it that the first holy beast contracted by the original apostle of Zhuri Xuyu was "Golden Pegasus". Luo Xiu once used this story to fool Anthony, Pamier and others, and it worked very well.

And the place where Mier went to find this material was the place where the original apostle of Zhuri Xuyu "fell".

And that place happened to be located in the territory of the Nolan Empire, belonging to a small ruins group from the Age of Gods.

According to Luo Xiu's memory in the later period of the version, there should be statues, graves and tombstones of the original apostles in the "fallen land". The descendants of the original "golden Pegasus" and the relatively rare "pure white horse" will offer the horns of the newly dead "Pegasus" to the grave of the "original apostle" at a specific time.

This "remembrance" ceremony has never been interrupted even now that wild "holy beasts" are almost extinct.

This is also one of the channels to obtain the materials of "golden Pegasus" or "pure white horse" stably.

Recalling these, Luo Xiu carefully looked at the Huijiao in the jade box in front of him, which was emitting pure and dazzling golden light, and then closed the lid of the box and said to Mir who was still waving the forging hammer beside him:

"There is no problem with the things, I will take them away."

"By the way, I have taken a fancy to several pieces of equipment in your inventory. Those things add up to about fifty platinum coins, including the purchase price of the 'Golden Pegasus' Huijiao, a total of 150 platinum coins, and the money is already on the table."

As he said, Luo Xiu took out two bags of money, one large and one small, from his storage bracelet, which contained the counted and divided platinum coins. After placing the payment on the table, Mir looked back at the white light bursting from the mouth of the money bag, waved his hand and said:

"You go, I will count later. If the money is not enough, I will go to the church to find you."

...

After that, Luo Xiu returned to the warehouse, took away the several pieces of equipment he had taken a fancy to before, and left with all the gains.

He walked around the main street and the side street of Hongfeng City twice. At this time, there were few people on the street. After the war, a large part of the residents had moved out of Hongfeng City, and the remaining ones simply stayed indoors, which made the originally lively streets suddenly fall into a dead desertedness.

"This is also a scene that only occurs in war..." Luo Xiu thought to himself. After he walked around twice as usual, half walking and half patrolling, he did not notice anything unusual, and then returned to the church.

Hongfeng City Church, Glory Church.

Luo Xiu returned to the inner courtyard and went directly to the "High Priest Residence" and entered the holy room on the second floor of the residence.

Then, Luo Xiu opened the residence barrier, but did not lock the doors and windows. He took out the jade box that encapsulated the "Golden Pegasus Brilliant Horn" from his bracelet, took out the Brilliant Horn, rubbed it for a while, and gently placed it on the ground.

As a transcendent with the fourth destiny of [Glory], the ritual of summoning the holy beast is relatively simple.

Luo Xiu then took out his staff and gathered his spirituality in it, and the pure divinity of a believer of [Glory] was dispersed as much as possible.

While guiding his spirituality, Luo Xiu was also chanting several "holy arts" prayers. "Holy Prayer", "Holy Blessing", "Hand of Judgement" and other holy arts were activated one by one and applied to Luo Xiu himself in turn.

His hands became translucent, revealing a pale golden holy light from the inside out. After the "Hand of Judgement" first changed, his outline began to blur and radiated a warm, pure glow like flowing mist.

After completely placing himself under the cover of [Glory] spirituality, Luo Xiu's resonance with the holy beasts belonging to [Glory] reached the highest level.

Until this moment, he sat on the ground, holding up the "Golden Pegasus Horn" on the ground in front of him with both hands, and began to meditate on the glorious skills and knowledge of the "Holy Beast Divine Contract" in his mind.

In Luo Xiu's mind, the originally vague totem pattern that was outlined in the shape of Pegasus's horns was gradually becoming clear.

As the holy beast totem in his mind took shape, Luo Xiu simultaneously guided his own spirituality out of his body and wrapped the Pegasus's horns in his hand like a ball of wool, making it emit an unprecedented golden light and truly activating the ancient spirituality of the "Golden Pegasus" hidden within it.

Only after completing these, Luo Xiu placed the Pegasus Horn back on the ground, and prayed at the same time:

"——In the name of the consecration, I pray devoutly."

"——I hope that the guide will descend with the light of the sky."

"——I hope that the sun will grant me divine light in a moment."

"——I hope that the eternal kingdom will look upon me."

"——With this golden horn as a blessing, I hope that the sacred beast will make a divine covenant with me!"

——Om! When Luo Xiu finished reciting the last sentence of his prayer, the outline of the golden horn in front of him suddenly shone with a fine golden light.

And the scene in front of Luo Xiu soon became different.

Right in front of Luo Xiu, the light on the golden horn separated from the main body of the horn at a speed visible to the naked eye and floated into the air.

The next moment, the light that rose like a mold burst suddenly bloomed, spreading outward from the origin to form a substantial light mist.

The bright light radiating from the Golden Horn became even more dazzling, accompanied by strong spiritual surges, and something was gradually coming down from nothing.

Soon, the entire holy room was occupied by golden light.

At this time, Luo Xiu had already opened the "spiritual vision". His sight penetrated the deep and rich golden light, and saw the deeper outline gradually taking shape from the light.

——"Golden Pegasus"! This is the process of the real "Golden Pegasus" being summoned!

When the summoning ceremony reached this step, Luo Xiu knew that he had succeeded. All he had to do next was to wait quietly.

...

The light in the high priest's residence became brighter and brighter. They shone through the windows and outside the room, attracting the attention of the clergy who were in the inner courtyard of the church at this time.

The clergy looked at the residence of the high priest. The outline of the residence, which was shrouded in the golden barrier, was emitting a faint golden glow, which made the clergy wonder what was happening in it.

The light coming out of the windows of the residence became more and more intense. The clergy in the inner courtyard could clearly feel that the sacred breath was penetrating the barrier and spreading in all directions.

"High priest... what is he doing..."

Standing in front of the door of the high priest's residence, Kelun, the "priest" who guided the clergy, looked back at the light radiating from the window of the residence with a dazed look on his face.

And the next moment, Kelun's vision was completely occupied by the pure golden light like the sun.

The unprecedented dazzling golden light bloomed from the window of the residence in an instant, and quickly disappeared without a trace. And at the moment when the light bloomed, Kelun clearly felt that the sacred breath had reached its peak at that moment.

Colum was completely stunned, and he heard footsteps behind him.

Colum looked back and saw Anthony, the chief officer of the Holy Inquisition, and Pamier, the adjutant. They felt the movement and rushed to see the situation.

Anthony then walked to the medium of the barrier and urgently passed the spiritual application for entry into the residence.

Unexpectedly, his application was approved in a few seconds. The golden barrier then faded and dissipated, and Anthony, Pamier and Colum hurried in.

As soon as they reached the second floor of the residence, they felt a surge of warm breath. The source of the breath came from the holy room on one side. Anthony and Pamier followed the breath to the door and pushed open the door full of unknowns.

After that, they saw the extremely solemn and sacred "holy beast" scene.

In the middle of the holy room, a unicorn golden horse with a dazzling golden glow, majestic and agile, appeared in front of them.

Its whole body was covered by holy flames, and the radiant horns on its forehead were shining, as if it contained an extremely surging spirituality.

——That was the "Golden Pegasus"! The new "auspicious" holy beast summoned and contracted by Luo Xiu!

When seeing Anthony, Pamier and others appear in front of him, the holy flames around the Golden Pegasus seemed to tremble slightly, and the horse's tail swaying with golden flames swayed gently, as a "greeting" to the visitors.

"Ah, you are here, Anthony, Pamier, and... Colen."

From behind the "Golden Pegasus", the voice of "Master of the Priests" Luo Xiu came. His voice sounded a little weak, as if he had consumed too much spirituality and physical strength because of summoning the holy beast.

"This is..." Anthony asked in a daze, "Is this... a holy beast?"

Anthony had recognized the ownership of the "Golden Pegasus", but he was not sure.

He vaguely remembered that Luo Xiu had already contracted the "Holy Flame Wolf" and the "Burning Feather Raven".

He had never heard of any priest in the history of [Glorious] who could establish a contract with three holy beasts at the same time...

"Yes, this is indeed a 'holy beast'." Luo Xiu smiled and replied.

"It is the 'Golden Pegasus', and its name is 'Pegasus', which is its original name."

Luo Xiu briefly answered Anthony's question and quickly "solved" Anthony's confusion.

But greater doubts also emerged. Anthony then murmured:

"You... contracted it?"

"You contracted the 'holy beast' again?"

"..."

Looking at Anthony's confused expression, Luo Xiu could only shrug helplessly and said:

"I did call it, and it also cast its eyes on me."

"Right, Pegasus?"

"-Moo..."

"Golden Pegasus" raised his long neck and let out a deep neigh.

Anthony couldn't tell whether it was an approval or a denial, but there was indeed a certain "contractual" relationship between Luo Xiu and the "Golden Pegasus"...Anthony now understood that Luo Xiu had indeed established a contract with it, and it was indeed the third "holy beast" that Luo Xiu had contracted.

The facts were before him, and Anthony could only suppress his shock and said:

"... This is a good thing, yes... This is a good thing. Now that the "War of Judgment" has broken out, the church does need more and stronger combat power..."

"Before, when you summoned the "Golden Pegasus", the divine light emanated, I think all the clergy of the church have seen it. Our "High Priest" has taken a key step in the "Glory" destiny, I think other clergy will feel relieved."

I did it on purpose... Luo Xiu thought to himself, he finally had the opportunity to do something big in the "Glory" destiny, and naturally he was ready to use this ceremony of summoning the "holy beast" to consolidate his prestige among the clergy of the church. He nodded and responded to Anthony's words with a smile:

"I hope so."

"Well, then, congratulations, Luo Xiu."

Anthony's face showed a smile of relief, and said, "But the most important thing is that you are okay."

"Since you are okay, then Pamier and I will leave first, Luo Xiu. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with at the Holy Inquisition."

After that, Anthony and Pamier took their leave and left. As the guiding priest, Colen also left the High Priest's Residence with them.

It was not until Anthony and the others left that Luo Xiu sat back in his chair and began to carefully browse the sacred beast panel of "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus.
