The religious professions he examined generally fall under this broad category. While specific religious professions may have different requirements, they generally remain within this framework.
Looking at the job requirements for these professions, and then comparing them with the job requirements for [Daoist priest] and [Buddhist monk],
[Daoist priest]
[Job Requirements: 1 point or higher in any of the three attributes, completion of a qualified ordination or transmission, adherence to the precepts for more than 3 years, and 3 Class Change Stone]
[monk]
[Job Requirements: 1 point or higher in any of the three main attributes, a qualified ordination ceremony to obtain an ordination certificate, adherence to the precepts for more than 3 years, and 3 Class Change Stone]
Both sides have their advantages: one takes a long time, while the other is that as long as the three-dimensional attributes meet the requirements, almost anyone within the sect who completes the ritual can achieve it.
However, compared to the three major religions in China, which have specific methods of cultivation, the methods of cultivation abroad are actually quite crude.
Their religious beliefs, their fervent faith in ethereal deities, are vastly different from the secular pursuits of individual ascension, Imperishable, and the attainment of immortality in Chinese culture.
Most sects still use Mindfulness Meditation, which Wang An previously used, and some physical training methods.
Alternatively, they may use hallucinogenic drugs with significant side effects to continuously damage their mental state and enhance their spiritual attributes, or take stimulants or similar drugs, which are extremely harmful to the body.
Even so, achieving a value of around 1.5 is not easy.
As the Avatar watched, the various Heaven and Earth Qi constantly gathering at this depression were continuously disrupting Zhou Mingyu's mental state, causing his will to resist to weaken, and he gradually fell into a coma.
The three black-robed priests, seemingly needing him in this state, began to bleed these people and draw strange and unusual patterns in the depression, apparently setting up the venue for the entire sacrificial ceremony.
"Perhaps the gathering of Heaven and Earth Qi during their sacrificial ceremony has another purpose."
The Avatar speculated in this way.
However, this group did not allow the six people to bleed to death as a sacrifice.
After draining enough blood, they stopped the bleeding from their wounds and painted religious symbols on their bodies.
This made the Avatar think that perhaps they were still useful; he never thought these cultists were any good people.
Just as this group of people finished preparing the sacrificial ceremony, the eight people on guard around the perimeter gradually moved closer to the node, reducing the guard area.
Before Avatar, I was observing the group's weaknesses or looking for an opportunity to attack.
However, the area covered by this group was far too large, and he didn't know how many of them worked, what their skills were, or what their overall strength was. Without a sure chance of victory, he didn't plan to make a move for the time being.
Previously, when the Avatar saw this group of cultists draining other people's blood, he was prepared to take action, but he didn't expect that they didn't want to kill these people yet.
Now, these people are about to perform a sacrificial ritual, gradually gathering together, Avatar feels that the time is almost here.
"Lambs, come and listen to God's teachings!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The dozen or so people began to gather together, and led by the blue-robed cult priest, they began to chant various praising scriptures for their idol.
The Avatar observed that the group's positioning was quite deliberate: the blue-robed priest and the black-clad cultist stood behind the four Class Change Stone, while the other eight people each occupied a position on one of the Class Change Stone.
As they began the ceremony and continued reciting scriptures.
The Avatar clearly sensed their emotions, which gradually grew more fervent due to the chanting of these scriptures, and the ritual sacrifice began.
The Heaven and Earth Qi at this point has become extremely concentrated, with various energies constantly intertwining within it.
A mist began to seep into the area around the depression, and the cult symbols they had drawn seemed to gradually flow and become more vibrant.
The insects that were underground all around them burst out of the soil and moved about very actively.
The eerie screams echoed throughout the ceremony, sending chills down everyone's spines.
With various Heaven and Earth Qi densely intertwined, the magnetic field strength of this place is increasing dramatically.
This intense magnetic field began to cause a gradual change in the mental state of these cult members, turning them from fanaticism into a state of madness.
As the sacrificial ceremony progressed, a feeling arose in the Avatar that something was about to be born.
This was precisely a premonition of some kind of Heaven and Earth Qi that was about to be formed.
Wang An, who had been following this matter closely, was quite surprised. He wondered what methods or professions these people used to achieve such a feat.
Despite the chaotic Heaven and Earth Qi and the overall cosmic energy, Wang An estimated that even they themselves didn't know what could possibly be born.
Perhaps they are simply using this dense Heaven and Earth Qi to guide and enhance their three-dimensional attributes.
As the group's emotions gradually reached their peak, they became oblivious to the commotion around them.
The Avatar certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
He carefully crept over, and at a distance of about thirty or forty meters, he nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
This time, the goal wasn't to Precision hit vital points, but rather to fire rapidly and destroy their ability to resist.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
As he approached, he fired four arrows in quick succession with his composite bow. The first to be hit were the guards carrying long-range composite crossbows.
After firing all four arrows, the Avatar was only about 10 meters away from them.
"Ah~, shit~..."
At this moment, the group of cultists were performing a sacrificial ceremony.
Only after the man who had been shot by the arrow began to wail in pain did he gradually regain his senses.
Realizing they were under attack, the others immediately drew their weapons, ready to fight.
Just as the others took out their crossbows, preparing to fire at the Avatar, he moved with incredible speed past the position they were aiming at.
Wielding a machete, he slashed horizontally at them with a speed of over ten meters per step.
The three guards were hit instantly, and their fingers and arms were severed.
Dodging another person's dagger attack, he kicked the man in the chest, instantly creating a deep crater. He fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Judging from this appearance, his internal organs have been severely damaged, and he is exhaling more than he is inhaling.
