After the Sacred Sect meeting, Wang Yinlan hurried back to the back garden as quickly as possible and told Ji Jiayu the good news.
As she expected, Ji Jiayu's reaction to this news was indifferent.
He had no idea that even if the Guangming clan wanted to enter the Sacred Sect, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, it was okay if Ji Jiayu didn't understand, because this way he could maintain a normal state of mind.
"Tomorrow, you go to the Most Holy Hall with me, follow the procedures for joining the Sacred Sect, and then we'll do special training," Wang Yinlan said.
"Okay." Ji Jiayu nodded and agreed. There was nothing to do that night.
The next morning, Wang Yinlan knocked on Ji Jiayu's door. Three seconds later, Ji Jiayu finished his cultivation and opened the door.
"Let's go." Wang Yinlan handed Ji Jiayu a lunch box and said, "Let's have breakfast while we walk."
"Thank you, Priest Wang," Ji Jiayu said.
"Call me Aunt Lan in the future." Wang Yinlan smiled and asked, "Where's Nie Lanxi?" As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Lanxi walked around the corner outside the courtyard.
"Where are you staying tonight?" Wang Yinlan asked curiously.
There were plenty of rooms in this courtyard, and there was no problem with men and women.
"In the woods," Nie Lanxi said.
Ji Jiayu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. "I persuaded him, but it was no use."
"It's nothing. It's quite safe in the woods." Wang Yinlan smiled and said, "Let's go, come with us to the Most Holy Church."
"Hmm." Nie Lanxi nodded slightly.
The question of whether Nie Lanxi could join the Holy Sect also sparked heated discussion, but in the end, everyone was overcome by the harsh reality and agreed.
Nie Lanxi was a very normal person with normal feelings, and her heart seemed relatively indifferent. The Holy Sect probably couldn't bind her, so why were they so pretentious?
The Shengyi Hall is located in the Xicheng area of the Holy City. It is the first sect building in the Holy City, hence the name Shengyi Hall. It is also a sacred place for the people of Guangming to join the Holy Sect.
When Wang Yinlan brought Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi to the Most Holy Hall, there weren't many people inside.
This Most Holy Hall, built specifically for new members of the Holy Sect, was sparsely populated throughout the year, but it had become somewhat lively recently. Many people, curious about the Great Prophet's final decision, had been waiting here. Now, they finally found the person they were waiting for.
Ji Jiayu, Nie Lanxi.
Someone couldn't help but gasp.
"So he's really joining the Holy Sect?!"
"If this gets out, it'll definitely cause a sensation."
"Alas, this is a wrong decision!"
These light clan members spoke in low voices, but they couldn't change anything. Everyone knew that this couldn't be a decision made by a single Ming God, but rather a decision made by a group of Ming Gods and the Great Prophet.
Under Wang Yinlan's leadership, the two met a priest surnamed Huo who was presiding over the initiation ceremony in the Most Holy Hall.
When the assistant priest saw Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxun, his expression was a little complicated. He wanted to hold it in, but he couldn't help but say, "For decades, I've been here presiding over initiation ceremonies for the young people of the Guangming Clan. I never thought that one day I would be holding an initiation ceremony for a mixed-race child. This is truly... This is truly... A pity!"
"That's a good thing," Wang Yinlan said.
"Hopefully..." Huo Zhuji said, handing a piece of paper to Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxun respectively. Ji Jiayu took it and saw that it was filled with Guangming Clan text, and he almost didn't recognize it. He subconsciously turned to look at Nie Lanxun. She couldn't see, and although she could see it with her spiritual power, she shouldn't be literate.
Wang Yinlan also realized this, so she asked Huo Zhuji to take another sheet of paper and translate it for Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxun.
After a while, the two filled in some personal information. Priest Huo asked the two to stand under the statue of the goddess of light and swear an oath to her.
Wang Yinlan listened to the two of them finish reciting their oaths without changing their tone. She sighed lightly, thinking: If other clan members see this scene, I'm afraid they'll have to talk about it again. Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi lack a sense of belonging to the Holy Kingdom and the Holy Sect, which is something they must be wary of in the future.
After the two finished reciting their oaths, Priest Huo took out two badges engraved with goddess statues from his arms and handed them to them, completing the initiation ceremony.
"Wear them on your chests. Unless it's a special occasion, it's best not to take them off," Huo Zhuji instructed.
"Okay."
"Okay." Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi put the badges on their chests. From now on, they were human priests of the Holy Sect.
After the initiation ceremony, the three of them didn't linger and prepared to return to the back garden.
When the three of them came out, the members of the Guangming clan who had been waiting for a long time saw the badges on Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi's chests and immediately began to discuss them.
In this regard, Ji Jiayu appeared calm and unmoved, but only he knew how nervous he was at the moment.
Five days after the Holy City was attacked by the Sin Demons, news that Ji Jiayu had saved countless Light Clan members spread throughout the Holy Kingdom, and almost all the Light Clan members who paid the slightest attention knew his name. It felt incredibly incredible.
After all, it was just a race!
"Is this true? I heard that Ji Jiayu is a human selector, but he only recently arrived in our Holy Kingdom."
"Isn't he very young? This sounds incredible!"
"One person says it's a rumor, what about ten, a hundred, a thousand people? Everyone says so, it must be true, right?"
"Have you heard? Because of his great merit this time, the upper management of the Holy Sect intends to induct him into the sect."
"That's impossible, right?! He's a human!"
"Even if you become a high-ranking official of the Holy Kingdom, it's impossible to enter the Holy Sect!"
"There's no wind and no waves; this matter is most likely true!"
"If it's true, I'll be the first to disagree! I don't want to live in a Holy Kingdom ruled by humans!"
"It's too much to say that the rules are excessive, but there really is a human standing over us!"
Ji Jiayu's actions in the Holy City and news of his entry into the Holy Sect quickly spread throughout the Holy Kingdom. Countless light clans were discussing the matter, and everyone couldn't believe that he would actually join the Holy Sect.
However, two days later, news arrived that felt like a bolt from the blue.
Ji Jiayu had actually joined the Holy Sect!
This matter was no longer a rumor, but was announced by the Holy Sect on its own initiative, and it was even accompanied by a light curtain image. What did this mean? Many people from the Guangming Clan were furious! This was too much!
