Chapter 161 Promotion! Fourfold destiny!
Following the guidance of spirituality, Luo Xiu once again set foot on the long steps.
Every time he takes a step forward, the surrounding scenery "flows". Silk-like golden light ribbons lingered around him, paving him into a golden carpet of light leading to a higher level.
The broken light flowed down and fell into the seemingly endless void under the long steps.
The vague and distant harmonious chants came to my ears, as if to indicate the sacredness of the spiritual glow at the end.
…
When Luo Xiu finally arrived at the "golden door".
He saw the spiritual light that guided him forward and the source of the distant hymn.
Different from the silver-plated statue he saw at the "Silver Gate" last time, what Luo Xiu saw this time was a blurry figure composed entirely of golden "light".
It was a ribbon of light that was draped like satin, with a hazy figure that looked like "wings" behind it.
It is holding its hands in front of its chest, and the "spiritual glow" is emanating from its palms; it seems to be singing, but the "hymn" is coming from the arc of its outline , accompanied by the light rippling like water ripples.
And on the side of this "glow" figure, the "golden door" engraved with ancient and sacred words stood here peacefully from ancient times.
The lock that emits dazzling golden light is hooked to the golden chain from both ends, blocking the door and the power behind the door.
Luo Xiu then stepped forward and took out the "Golden Key" from his arms.
Passing the "Golden Key" into the lock, Luo Xiu's eyes instantly glowed with light.
【……】
[You have opened the golden door and glimpsed the world behind it. 】
[You have lost the "Golden Key"]
【……】
In front of Luo Xiu, new content suddenly popped up on his panel.
At the same time, Luo Xiu truly felt that the spirituality in his body suddenly became boiling, as if speaking of endless vitality and joy.
【Spiritual sublimation! You have advanced to the fourth level of destiny! 】
[You gain the original improvement]
[The upper level limit is increased to: lv.40]
[The level of the skill "Brilliant Inscription" has been increased to lv.4]
[The level of the skill "Holy Light Affinity" has been increased to lv.3]

【……】
——Bah...
The heavy door made of gold, as Luo Xiu turned the key, there was the sound of gears hitting from inside, and the sharp sound of the door rotating inwards.
The surging spirituality spurted out from the first gap in an instant, completely engulfing Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu could feel an invisible attraction coming from the surging spirituality in front of him, just like a compass guiding him forward in this storm-raging tidal sea.
He then took one step, two steps firmly until he passed through the golden door.
…
The "spiritual" storm ceased.
Everything became quiet again.
When Luo Xiu passed through the golden door, he finally saw the "golden palace" that carried a higher level of spiritual power.
There are two golden pillars standing in the center of the hall.
Luo Xiu walked forward quickly, and a hazy layer of gold flashed across one of the gold pillars, revealing the ancient sacred words engraved on the surface.
At the same time, new content popped up on Luo Xiu's panel.
[Has been advanced to the fourth level of "brilliance" destiny, gaining career...]
[Your occupation is "Judgment of Crime", you will be promoted to "Chief of Judgment of Crime"]
[If promotion is confirmed, please touch the ‘Judgment’ golden pillar]
【……】
Luo Xiu quickly browsed the text on the panel, but did not follow the prompts to touch the gold-cast pillar.
He then turned around and walked to another golden pillar, which was only shimmering with golden light but did not reveal any words engraved on it.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and touched the gold-cast pillar!
——Buzz! A strong surge of spirituality suddenly emanated from the surface of the golden pillar.
There were waves of fine vibrations coming from inside the pillar, and the gold dust on its surface began to peel off.
When the gold fragments fell away and the inscriptions on the pillars emitted a dazzling light like the rising sun, the panel in front of Luo Xiu once again refreshed with new content——
[Getting the hidden profession...]
[Meet condition 1: You have the skills of "Holy Judgment" and "Holy Confinement"]
[Meet condition 2: Your "divine" attribute is greater than 100]
[Meet condition 3: You have completed at least one kill of the "Fourth Destiny" heretic]
[Meet condition 4: You have fought with the "Saint" and successfully survived]
【……】
[You obtain a hidden profession - "Holy Judge"]!
“……”
"Huh..." Luo Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is exactly the promotion plan that I had already set when I applied for two [Glory] skills from Leonard!
Using the "Judgment of Judgment" as a springboard career, after obtaining two pre-requisite "Glorious Skills", and then meeting other conditions for promotion to the "Hidden Career", Luo Xiu finally found his way into the "Fourth Destiny" , for the first time, you can unlock the [Glory] destiny level of the "Hidden Profession", and change your profession to become the "Holy Glory Judge"!
This is the most important career change choice before he continues to be promoted and eventually becomes the "Lord of Light Wings" in the seventh level of destiny.
And as Luo Xiu touched the gold-cast pillar, the panel also showed new content.
The shining light on the golden pillar began to turn into wisps of spirituality and poured into Luo Xiu's body.
Luo Xiu felt that the cells and flesh and blood in his body were becoming more excited and active than ever before, and the extraordinary power he controlled was also rising rapidly, hitting a certain restrictive bottleneck.
[You obtain an extraordinary profession: Holy Judge (lv.1)]
[Inheritance of the level of the lower-level profession "Crime Judgment"]
[The level of "Holy Judge" is increased to lv.30, and the profession "Crown Judgment" is lost]
[Acquire the "Holy Judge" professional skill: Radiant Judgment (Glory, lv.1)]

Gain instantaneous recovery of a large amount of health and mana (current attribute value increase: 0/500). 】
【……】
[Acquire the "Holy Judge" professional skill: Heavenly Punishment of Light Wings (Glory, lv.1)]

[Your main attribute is "divinity", and you get correction: for every 1 point of "divinity" you have, you get an additional 10 points of health, 5 points of mana, 1 point of physical attack, and 1 point of spell attack. 】
【……】
When the panel prompt for the new job change to "Holy Judge" appeared, the air around Luo Xiu seemed to become stagnant in an instant.
As expected, the star-like scenery in the distance began to shatter into pieces, and the creatures swimming in the spiritual sea began to gradually disintegrate.
The invisible force is driving Luo Xiu, the "uninvited guest", away from the outside world.
This process cannot be resisted or even fought against.
Luo Xiu only felt that his consciousness seemed to be gradually sinking, and in the next moment he fell into the bottomless valley of deep dreams.
…
…
When he woke up again, Luo Xiu finally saw the familiar scene in the real world again.
In the dim hotel room, the air was mixed with a damp smell, and the poor ventilation caused by the closed doors and windows made Luo Xiu feel a rare chest tightness.
This only shows one thing. It has been a long time since he closed the doors and windows and entered the "spiritual sea". "..."
Luo Xiu was silent for a while, then got up from the bed and walked to the window.
He opened the window slightly, and fresh air rushed in from the window, sweeping away the turbid air in the room in the blink of an eye.
"call……"
After Luo Xiu took a deep breath for a while, he locked the window again, sat back on the edge of the bed, and opened his character panel.
At this time, his profession in [Glory] had changed from "Judgment of Judgment" to "Judge of Holy Glory".
As for promotion from "Big Blesser", Luo Xiu's career category is still in the category of "Priest". He still retains the ability to go from "Priest" to "Blesser", and he also has the ability to master more [ Brilliance] Qualifications for authority.
As for the newly acquired hidden profession "Judge of Holy Glory" - the new skill "Judgement of Glory" obtained from it, and the skill "God's Punishment of Light Wings", these are all very powerful skills or skills.
Constant growth of attributes, instant recovery status upon kill, and a wave of super powerful range pursuit...
This is the unique characteristic of the "Holy Judge" - output is justice!
In addition, when you opened the "golden door" and gained a destiny promotion, you got the new skill "Holy Beast Divine Contract" and the epic "milestone" expertise "Saint Disciple".
This caused Luo Xiu's strength to soar upwards by several steps, far exceeding his own strength in the "Triple Destiny".
If Luo Xiu were allowed to travel back in time again, in his current state, he could beat three of his pre-promotion selves, no problem at all!
“……”
After "appreciating" his panel like a work of art for a while, Luo Xiu closed the panel.
Then, he turned his attention inward and began to feel his current state carefully.
That surging spirituality has been reborn, and with the "Judgment War" approaching, the promotion was completed at such a critical time point. This is completely in line with Luo Xiu's plan for his own extraordinary promotion, and it is even earlier than he expected. Some.
About two months have passed since the time travel. Luo Xiu has been promoted from the "first level of destiny" to the fourth level. He has truly reached the last step of "transcendence" and half-stepped into the "sainthood". threshold.
However, Luo Xiu also understood one thing deeply - this was still just the beginning.
In the future of his extraordinary career, the difficulty of his promotion will also increase sharply. From "extraordinary" to "saint", although they only differ in the depth of one life path, the difference between levels is like a chasm. .
Luo Xiu knew that the most important thing for him at the moment was to become familiar with his newly acquired power as soon as possible and to accumulate it as much as possible.
For the upcoming "Judgment War", he must make all preparations he can.
"..." Luo Xiu pondered for a few seconds before letting go of his thoughts.
Then, he stood up from the bed, walked to the clothes rack in the room, and grabbed the black-striped puppet and the jet-black cloak.
"——Intis..."
"——Calling all shadows."
Through the "Family Crest", Luo Xiu issued his latest order to the "Faceless Man" Intis in an unknown distance.
"——Let them go to the 'promised place', and I will announce a new oracle."
"——Before that, Intis."
"——Make your final preparations."
"——I will personally grant you the complete gift of becoming the 'Shadow of Killing'."
…
…
Outside Sina City, next to the road leading to the main city of Songyuan.
On a windswept Gobi Desert, a group of "warlocks" dressed in white scholar robes were resting against a solid barrier made of steel.
Lockland, the "Great Knowledgeer" of the Alchemy Institute, and his warlock entourage are about to go to the main city of Songyuan to participate in the carnival that belongs only to the warlocks and the alchemy event of the [Intellectual] truth believers.
In Lockland's mind, in that "event", he might be able to find and reproduce the complete "Rotten Bone Alchemy" method.
And these followers he brought were all warlocks who had received private lessons from Lockland and had a fanatical yearning for "Black Devouring Runes" and "Rotten Bone Alchemy".
This is Lockland, the "forbidden kingdom" he built in secret.
He has grander and longer-term ambitions.
"...Ha." A sinister smile appeared on Lockland's face.
Before that.
Through long-distance transmission, Lockland has learned that the "Alchemy Institute" has successfully resisted the invasion of that group of cultists.
"mob……"
He thought so.
Ever since Rockland and the incoming Holy Judges successfully annihilated the cultists led by "Shadow of Slaughter", he has never encountered an ambush from the enemy again.
The news sent back from the Alchemy Institute allowed Lockland to finally let down his guard and be able to safely embark on the road to the main city of Songyuan to participate in the solemn event.
Now, he and his followers could already see the vague outline of the main city of Songyuan and the towering city wall from a distance.
We are very close to our destination. When the accompanying warlocks have finished their final rest, they will set off again and drive this team of believers who are thirsty for forbidden knowledge into the main city of Songyuan...
"..."
——Shua.
There was a flash of blood, and blood spattered from the body of a scholar next to Lockland.
"What..." Lockland's eyes instantly became suspicious. He just wanted to find out the magic crystal that sealed the "demon", but it was too late.
A dark bell curtain fell from the sky in an instant, completely imprisoning Lockland's figure.
Then, more blood splashed out from the other warlocks, sprinkling a string of crystal blood beads in the air.
The aura of killing swept from the surroundings instantly.
Lockland looked at what was happening in front of him in horror.
He didn't know what happened.
Until a deep black mist gradually filled the surroundings, and from the black mist, dozens of vague figures holding dark "tooth"-shaped daggers gradually emerged.
"——You... are 'Black Fang'?!" Lockland exclaimed.
At this time, he finally found the magic crystal of the "Battle Ram" and completed the summoning of it.
--boom! boom! boom! Violent crashing sounds continued to be heard from the bell curtain.
The "battery ram" raised its steel ring arm, and its heavy punch, which was enough to instantly kill a triple-destined extraordinary person, struck the curtain wall again and again.
However, the attack of the "battering ram" only caused a circle of pale white ripples to appear on the "bell curtain". It was not broken or even cracked.
Lockland gradually became desperate. He just watched helplessly as the "warlocks" who followed him died one after another under the swords of the "Black Fangs".
It was a completely one-sided massacre.
Until all the "Warlocks" fell down, and the blood had gathered into deep pools on the ground, and the "Black Fangs" gathered in the direction of Lockland.
"...Wait a minute."
A sharp voice sounded from behind the "black teeth".
The "Black Teeth" immediately made way for a passage, allowing the owner of the voice to step forward.
It was a figure wearing gorgeous armor.
He wore a colorful mask on his face, and in his hand was rubbing a snake-shaped awl with complex patterns.
"...Are you 'Rockland Scatch'?" the man asked in a sharp voice.
Lockland kept his mouth shut, refusing to answer anything while staring into his eyes.
"Ah...then I'll take it as acquiescence."
After not waiting for the answer he wanted for a long time, the man muttered to himself lazily.
Then, he suddenly bowed to Lockland and said:
"Let me introduce myself. I am the executioner of the 'Dark Principality'. My name is Coros Jupiter."
"...Lochlan of the Alchemy Institute, you now have two choices."
Koros stared sharply at the great man trapped in the cage in front of him.
"I heard that you stole the treasure of my friend, the owner of the Blood of Thorns."
Koros said with playful eyes:
"I suggest you give it to me, and maybe I'll let you go."
"Alternatively, you can choose to die. In that case, I'll just have to dirty my gloves and get it from your corpse."
"Tell me your choice, Lockland?"
"Executioner" Koros, after saying this, he licked his tongue.
At the same time, his fingers gently traced the tip of the snake-shaped blade in his hand.
He was waiting for Lockland, the "Great Enlightenment", to give him an answer that suited his heart.
