Chapter 871: The Content Above is All Guesswork

Everyone present made this movement, and even Quinn imitated it clumsily.

Qian Chen looked around. Judging from the unfamiliarity of the movements, there were about five newcomers like them, and none of them were wearing black hoods either.

This is the beginning of the semester!

If the Spiritual Cultivation Society only accepts a few newcomers each semester, then the probability of international students like himself and Quinn being chosen is a bit high, isn't it?

"I am the 'All-Seeing Eye' of the Miskatonic University Spiritual Cultivation Society, the person who guides you into the mysterious door!"

"Let us welcome our new brothers!"

"They have passed through many tests and are our brothers. Today, I will open the door to the Spirit Realm for them, allowing them to truly become one of us."

The leader of the society, the All-Seeing Eye, gestured the triangle again and placed it on his right eye: "Trinity, Holy Triangle. Be my eye, glimpse the truth!"

Everyone present chanted solemnly.

"Trinity, Holy Triangle. Be my eye, glimpse the truth!"

With all kinds of ritualistic actions, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became solemn, and the newcomers also began to immerse themselves in this mysterious atmosphere.

Their spirits gradually became clear, reaching the standard for performing the ritual.

This all fell into the slightly blue right eye of the All-Seeing Eye on the second floor through the triangle.

Then the 'All-Seeing Eye' led them through a long corridor to a mysterious room.

The old members of the Spiritual Cultivation Society put hoods on Qian Chen and the others, wrapping their whole bodies up like cloaks.

At the door, someone gave each of them a silver lamp, letting their hands pass through the cloaks and hold the silver lamps in their hands.

The silver lamp was about half the size of the wall lamp Qian Chen had before, and inside was a kind of lamp oil that was as clear as water and emitted a faint spirituality. Qian Chen quietly leaned over and smelled it, and there was a fragrance of flower essential oil, a bit like roses, but different.

On the lamp wall, there was also the triangle single-eye symbol of the All-Seeing Eye of the Spiritual Cultivation Society.

Pushing open the gate, inside was a ritual hall. Everyone walked in barefoot. It was a smooth, crystal-like mirror floor, and the touch was icy cold.

Qian Chen looked at the ceiling slightly, which was completely covered by heavy black velvet curtains.

Arriving at the center of the hall.

Everyone formed a circle and placed the silver lamps in front of them.

They surrounded a circular ring of lamp fire, reflected by the mirror under their feet, like a circle of stars.

The All-Seeing Eye stood in the center of the whole circle, holding the silver lamp and said: "The Spiritual Cultivation Society only accepts pure spirits. Those who are stained with the filth of flesh and blood and the evil in the darkness will be expelled..."

"Just as the Father of Lamps created us, pure spirits flowed out from His light and landed on the mirror surface, that is us—the holy spirit!"

"And the Cup Mother filled the cup with blood, giving birth to our physical bodies, that is the original sin!"

"Father! Father! Holy! Holy!" The old members chanted: "Forgive us, guide us!"

"Therefore, following the guidance of the lamp, with the mirror opening the door, we can return to the Spirit Realm."

The All-Seeing Eye tapped the ground and said: "Walking in the Spirit Realm requires a mirror and a lamp. The mirror opens the door to the Spirit Realm for us, and the lamp guides us so we don't get lost. The key is the holy symbol of the Mirror Master—∞."

"Then there is the three-stage secret mantra."

"Please, Mirror Master, open the door to the Spirit Realm for us!"

"May the Father of Lamps guide our path forward!"

"Fill the cup with blood, and let the Cup Mother release our holy spirit..."

"Holy Trinity! I know you may have heard many legends about other great existences, but only these three existences are truly great. In the Eastern Continent, they are called the three of Creation, and in the Western Continent, they are called the three gods of the Orthodox Church!"

"But the three gods of the Orthodox Church are a Trinity."

"Beware of those who worship only one of them, especially the Original Sin Church that worships only the Cup Mother!"

"Remember, the path of spiritual cultivation requires the guidance of the Orthodox Church. Only the path that follows the 'Trinity Bible' is the correct and holy path; all others are heresies and evil temptations."

What the All-Seeing Eye said was exactly the ritual of walking in the Spirit Realm written in Qian Chen's notebook.

The status of this ritual in the mysterious world should be very unique, and even Qian Chen could feel that it touched the true secrets of his creation of this world, although at least two of the three of Creation were worshipped in the wrong image.

The Dao Dust Bead dropped spiritual light, and spirituality flowed out from it.

The Kunlun Mirror opened the world, and the light fell on the mirror surface, becoming the real world they were in, and at the same time isolating the Spirit Realm and the True Realm.

The Cauldron of Creation created life, creating all things and bestowing life.

This is the secret of the root of the whole world.

And the ritual of walking in the Spirit Realm undoubtedly revealed a part of it, which can be called the foundation of occultism and cultivation in this world!

"The Spiritual Cultivation Society is a gathering formed by a group of students who are determined to pursue mystery and sublimate spirituality in a secret society at school! According to tradition, we perform this ritual, and each person needs to state a taboo about this ritual, because everything in the Spiritual Cultivation Society is contributed by each of us. You possess knowledge, I exchange knowledge, then we possess two pieces of knowledge. This is the first principle of the Spiritual Cultivation Society!"

The All-Seeing Eye said: "Let me start. First taboo: during the ritual, do not place the cup in front of the mirror, and likewise, do not perform the ritual with a woman!"

The newcomers below were suddenly restless, and the All-Seeing Eye shouted loudly: "Silence!"

"This is not sexism. We are the most open and excellent Miskatonic students, and I also respect women very much, but the ritual of walking in the Spirit Realm originates from the Orthodox Church, and this taboo also originates from them!"

"This is the teaching of the Father of Lamps!"

Qian Chen shouted in his heart: "I'm not, I didn't... this punch of yours, you want me to die!"

He thought about it, and sure enough, there were no girls in the Spiritual Cultivation Society.

Quinn whispered to Qian Chen: "So that's where the sentence Gable told us is used."

Do not look directly at the Lord, do not call out the Lord's name?

Qian Chen chanted the two taboos in his heart, suddenly feeling very strange.

Because the Orthodox Church, the Orthodox God Church, which is the church that worships him, the Kunlun Mirror, and the Cauldron of Creation, has no idol worship. The only thing that can be considered their worship is the lamp!

The lamp is like the cross in Christianity, it is their symbol.

And the mirror and the holy cup are the symbols of the Kunlun Mirror and the Cauldron of Creation on the Western Continent.

But do not look directly at the Lord?

You can't not look at the mirror, not look at yourself in the mirror!

At this time, it was the turn of the person on the left hand of the All-Seeing Eye to state the taboo!

Everyone, in counterclockwise order, had to state a taboo in turn, and then it could not be violated during this ritual of walking in the Spirit Realm. This is the initiation ritual of the Spiritual Cultivation Society.

"Second taboo: when performing the ritual, it needs to be secret, but it also needs to be known to others, at least known to one other person besides yourself!"

Qian Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Quinn. They seemed to have violated this taboo.

But the old member wearing the hood actually cleared his throat and explained: "This taboo is true. Secrecy is a power. If too many people know and watch, the ritual will fail or get out of control!"

"The more powerful the ritual, the more secrecy is needed, because you must use this to determine your dominance. And performing the ritual requires a second person! The reason is: if we get lost in the Spirit Realm, the calls of others will easily pull us back!"

"Of course, it must be the correct name, otherwise, the one who comes back might not be you..."

His voice suddenly lowered, making the newly joined students feel a chill. It was hard to imagine what would happen if the thing that came back wasn't themselves, wearing their own body.

"Those four brothers will be our protectors!"

The old member pointed to the members of the Spiritual Cultivation Society in the four corners of the hall, wearing hoods and facing the wall corners with their backs to them.

"Third taboo: when performing the ritual, it must not be in an open and spacious place, it must be indoors!"

The next member of the Spiritual Cultivation Society continued: "Fourth taboo: during the ritual, the mirror representing the Mirror Master can only be level with you or facing up, never let the mirror face down!"

Qian Chen took a look at the ritual hall. No wonder the floor was a mirror, so that no matter what, the mirror surface would not face down.

Most of this one is true!

"Fifth taboo: during the ritual, the lamp fire must not go out!"

"Sixth taboo: during the ritual, you must look at the silver lamp through the mirror, you must not take hallucinogenic drugs, and you must not be in a state of confusion!"

Qian Chen looked at Quinn. He secretly stuffed the silver pot containing mandrake wine into his underwear.

"Seventh taboo: during the ritual, you must not shout loudly, and you are forbidden from chanting any divine name!"

Quinn looked over suddenly. Qian Chen was the eighth, and he was the ninth, also the last one!

And the newcomer above had already used up one of the two taboos Gable told them—do not look directly at the Lord, do not call out the Lord's name.

Quinn's eyes were nervous. Qian Chen said one more, and he would have nothing to say!

So he racked his brains. Anyway, the taboos were stated by each person, so they didn't necessarily have to be true. He could make one up on the spot.

But Qian Chen knew that this rule was not that simple.

The so-called taboo is a kind of secret knowledge. These things should be listened to in reverse—place the Holy Grail in front of the mirror and perform the ritual.

One man and one woman, perform the ritual.

Alone, perform the ritual.

Outdoors, perform the ritual.

Extinguish the lamp, perform the ritual.

These are all extremely dangerous, but they are ways to enter deeper, more dangerous, and more bizarre places in the Spirit Realm!

They are also variants of the ritual of walking in the Spirit Realm.

And making one up randomly would only make people see that he is a 'Muggle'.

The first principle of the Spiritual Cultivation Society, each person states a taboo during the ritual, together forming the ritual we should follow. In fact, the true meaning is—exchange knowledge with knowledge, exchange secret with secret!

This is the true function of the initiation ritual. It contains the true rules and significance of the Spiritual Cultivation Society.

Each taboo is a piece of secret knowledge, and members of the Spiritual Cultivation Society should all understand the meaning within. Faking it here will only be excluded from the true Spiritual Cultivation Society.

Qian Chen thought slightly about the inner meaning of the previous 'taboos'.

When everyone's eyes looked at him, waiting for him to state the eighth taboo, he opened his mouth faintly: "Eighth taboo: during the ritual, do not dream!"

This involves the secret knowledge of the Spirit Realm layers—the True Spirit Realm, the Dream Spirit Realm, and the Illusion Spirit Realm. If the Spiritual Cultivation Society has extraordinary people who have entered the Dream Spirit Realm, they should know this!

The eyes of many old members suddenly became deep, but the All-Seeing Eye who presided over the ritual looked at Qian Chen deeply. The look under the hood was very mysterious, but it seemed as if he had re-recognized Qian Chen, and then he turned his gaze to Quinn next to him.

He could read the meaning within—Qian Chen thought: "The Miskatonic Spiritual Cultivation Society is indeed not simple!"

The Dream Spirit Realm is already a high position in the Spirit Realm. Qian Chen was not talking nonsense. Falling asleep and entering a dream while walking in the Spirit Realm could really enter the Dream Spirit Realm.

The spirit leaves the present world further, then it is not something that a lamp can pull back!

Other members also saw the performance of the president.

Quite a few people were slightly stunned. This one... actually passed!

Quinn looked at Qian Chen gratefully and rushed to say: "Ninth taboo: do not look directly at the Lord!"

All nine taboos were established, and the ritual began to enter the next step—walking in the Spirit Realm! ===== CHAPTER 872 =====
