When Aiwass closed the Shepherd's Tantra, the black book no longer felt as warm and delicate as human skin.
It became quiet. As if everything before was just an illusion.
At this time, Aiwass finally understood why he had not seen this book in the original history.
Because, if someone can open this secret book correctly, then he will most likely destroy it directly.
The knowledge recorded on it is too dangerous.
It solves a core problem of transcending the path: transcending the path cannot make others besides yourself stronger.
The essence of the path of transcendence is to commit the following, to pursue transcendence, and to seek higher. It is an extremely selfish path.
It is impossible to benefit others simply by relying on the power of transcending the path. This leads to the fact that although demonologists often gather together, their power has never merged into a rope.
The "art of pastoral care" incorporates the characteristics of the path of devotion. Sacrifice yourself to benefit others.
The logic of feeding demons with your own flesh and blood, and then granting demon power to mortals is in line with the principles of the path of devotion. Because in this logical chain, the devil is just a symbol. It's like making money yourself and then sharing the money with the poor.
In the same way, human beings are used as sacrifices to feed demons, giving these phantoms the power to grow, without taking any kickbacks or asking for anything in return. This is also in line with the principles of the path of dedication. The "altruism" of the path of dedication is not limited to humans and fellow humans. Of course, phantoms are also "others".
When the devil wanted to give back strength to this donation, he still didn't take any of it and gave it all to others. In this way, there is no "transaction" and it is also consistent with the principles of the path of devotion.
This whole behavior is full of demonic traces of ambition. From the motivation, we can see the unabashed "desire for upwards" to become stronger at any cost. But it does have a kind of divine compassion, and it always adheres to the only principle of "helping others gain strength to fulfill their wishes."
Everything the pastor does is not a transaction, but a free charity.
But the pastor finally got everything he wanted. An almost perpetual cycle has been achieved.
"This book must not be left behind."
A very clear idea appeared in Aiwass's mind.
If anyone other than myself has read this book, I am afraid that the big beasts of the "Lord of Big Beasts" will be regarded as the herd of the shepherd.
Moreover, if this book is a classic dedicated to the path, then it is impossible for it to become a "banned book" and be collected by the Supervisory Bureau.
Since it can be taken away by the inspectors, it is enough to show that this book is not so clean.
Of course, when the Inspectorate gave the book to Aiwass, it was legal for him to read the book himself. As long as he doesn't pass on the above knowledge, the Supervision Bureau will not trouble him, but will turn a blind eye.
That's not the problem.
The real question is where did the Supervisory Bureau receive this book?
This book is the original book. As long as someone can open this book correctly, they can obtain the knowledge above and get the inheritance from the pastor.
Does that mean that someone has become a "pastor"?
Suppose someone knows about the existence of the pastor's tantra and finds out that it was eventually collected by the Supervision Bureau of Glass Island. Gone is this book. That person might follow this trace and eventually find Aiwass.
This unknown enemy made Aiwass feel nervous.
He didn’t know who the other party was, the successor of the “Shepherd”, or another group of people who came after the “Shepherd”. He didn’t know when these people would come. Not even sure if this imaginary enemy actually exists.
But just in case.
Aiwass needs to gain a stronger presence in Avalon. Allowing him to drive the Supervision Bureau to trace the possible "shepherd" in reverse.
At the same time, Aiwass did master the "pastoral" method
After Aiwass read this book, his career as a priest and as a demonologist , have quietly added a new skill.
Now, the complete panel of Aiwass looks like this
Priest v6 basic prayer level 2 3, sacrificial fire level 1 5, lighting level 1 15, blessing level 1 0 , Pastoral Flesh Level 1 0
Demonologist v5 Demonology Level 1 16, Basic Ritual Level 1 5, Demonic Contract Level 2 3, Pastoral Essence Level 1 0

Beyond Shadow Affinity v1 You sign a natal contract with the shadow demon, and you can use the first level of shadow powers at will.
Consecrated Flame Container v1 If you drink the blood of Sizhu, your soul will be expanded. The maximum capacity of your mana pool fire is increased by 14.
The authoritative silver scale uses this mark as a seal. The silver crowned dragon is watching you. A certain oath you have made cannot be broken. When you attack anyone who breaks the oath, you will gain 1 beneficial divinity
As the chosen successor and the successor who perfectly fits the "shepherd", Aiwass has indeed received complete "shepherding" "The inheritance of skills.
And it is undeniable that
this forbidden skill is indeed very useful to Aiwass.
Because when the Shepherd Tantra mentioned "using flesh and blood to grow the phantom demon", Aiwass realized that he had made a major omission
In the game, the major sin The method for scholars and beast masters to improve the level of "big beasts" is to take them to repeatedly brush phantoms with the same attributes. You only need to line up a boss with a monster with specified attributes, and you can immediately challenge and defeat the opponent. Let the big beast grow by devouring the opponent's remains.
But this point, in real lifeNot very easy to use.
Because it does not have a "dungeon finder" to randomly arrange copies, the Phantom is not like the boss in the dungeon that can be refreshed infinitely. Then he can only raise the level of the phantom by feeding rare materials with corresponding attributes, which requires a huge cost, and collecting materials also requires time and energy.
But if he has the skill of tending flesh and blood, he can use himself as food and sacrifice to the phantom demon.
Aiwass's oath is "I will not use the lives and corpses of my own people as my ritual materials and sacrifices." Of course, he himself does not fall into this category.
After all, "self-sacrifice" is a regular skill of the demonologist. It will not prevent you from being able to advance to the level of Sin Scholar.
Although the "shepherd" has become skinny and covered with scars due to this kind of flesh-and-blood shepherding.
But Aiwass has the most orthodox priest heritage. The "fire sacrificial" method among the four sacred skills carefully selected and prepared by the church over thousands of years can allow Aiwass to quickly recover his lost life and heal his physical wounds.
There is no need to use others as sacrifices.
Just let the big beasts slowly eat my own flesh and blood.
It’s just that he can’t achieve this eternal cycle of spirit and flesh, using all peoples as grass.
He can grant the power of the phantom to others, and he can also feed the phantom with his own flesh and blood. But he cannot feed the humans he shepherds to the phantom demons because this involves the sacrifice of his own race and will pollute his soul.
Aiwass finally understood at this moment why the black book reacted when it got close to Yulia.
Because it sensed the phantom in Yulia's body that had been suppressed for a long time and was malnourished.
The original scripture itself also has a weak spirituality.
Hatching phantom eggs is the easiest way to obtain weak juvenile phantoms.
In the vision of the black book, Aiwass saw with his own eyes that the "shepherd" who had reached the middle stage of development obtained a large number of juvenile phantoms through this method
Those actions The children of the Phantom Egg were collected from all over the world by his legions. After long-term feeding of the decoction made from his blood, the phantom demon in their bodies will grow rapidly, and eventually the "eggs" will crack, hatching the phantom demon.
"Anyway, let's destroy the book first."
Aiwass said to himself.
No matter whether his adoptive father will become the final boss, this book cannot let him see it. It would be even more troublesome if Big Brother or Yulia saw it. Anyway, the knowledge inside has penetrated into Aiwass's brain, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.
After he got the book, no matter whether he used it or not, those in the know would suspect that he had.
Then there is nothing to be reserved about. Not only must it be used, but it must be used ruthlessly
It just so happens that now is the opportunity to try the "shepherding" technique to soothe the demons
Thinking of this, Ai Wentz from himselfstood up from the wheelchair.
The moment when his feet came into contact with the ground. His spirituality formed a stable circuit with the earth, and the shadow demon sleeping in Aiwass's shadow was immediately awakened.
The shadow under him spread out instantly like ink on paper.
My Master
A thick and echoing voice sounded from Aiwass's mind, filled with a sense of danger.
What are you calling me for?
"Destroy it."
Aiwass whispered and threw the Shepherd's Tantra into the Gurgling and bubbling in the shadows.
But it was not dissolved.
Shadow Demon showed obvious dissatisfaction.
Hehe, you can’t always treat me like a trash can, Master. Not everything can be thrown into my body. What I crave is fresh flesh and blood, a sacred soul.
Just when Shadow Demon showed his dissatisfaction, Aiwass took out his own on the table. Sterling silver dagger.
That is the ceremonial knife used to carve ritual formations. Too sharp but not tough enough.
Aiwass anointed the ceremonial knife with essential oils infused with cinnamon and rosemary essential oils. He injected a little light attribute mana and dark attribute mana into the two essential oils respectively.
Then he placed it on the candlelight and passed it gently. A deep and dim light emerged from the ceremonial knife.
Aiwass stretched out his right hand and took a deep breath.
Then he squeezed it tightly until the blade cut through the muscles and stuck into the bones.
"Then take it, my blood, my bones, my flesh"
He endured the severe pain and muttered silently in his heart
Eat in silence, my lamb
I am the Holy Communion, this is mercy
The mana pool in Aiwass body suddenly loosened, and the few remaining three-color mana was randomly injected into The blood was leaking out quickly like a bathtub with the stopper removed.
He imagined that what was flowing out of his wound was not red blood, but golden honey and white milk. He lowered his eyes and looked at Shadow Demon with compassion and pity.
Aiwass worked hard to keep no fear, greed, pain and hatred in his heart, only pure kindness and love.
It was as if the person in front of him was not a cunning and deadly demon, but a begging child who was about to starve to death on the roadside.
That is a pure, equal, and noble gift.
There is a holy quality to voluntary sacrifice. Just like Aiwass can summon a superior demon when used as a sacrifice.
And now, the blood he voluntarily donated with correct rituals has become an extremely sweet and delicious sacrifice that can make the fantasy demon addicted
Shadow Demon, who was still complaining, immediately fell silent.
It rises from the ground like crazy, like dozens of intertwined snakes, gently entwining around Aihua.On Si's right hand, he greedily licked every drop of blood, as well as between his fingers and the back of his hand.
Until the mana pool in Aiwass body was completely exhausted, no more mana could flow out. The "pastoral" ceremony was immediately terminated.
Aiwass pulled away the ceremonial knife, and the wound scarred on its own.
Even though the hot blood had disappeared, Shadow Demon was still licking Aiwass's right hand intently. It's like a puppy still licking the owner's palm after eating the food in the owner's hand.
"It seems you like it very much."
Aiwass looked pale, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
His voice was a little weak, partly due to blood loss and partly due to severe pain.
During the ceremony, he could not frown or show disgust or fear because of this pain. Otherwise the pastoral ritual will fail.
But it does now.
The scars that were deeply visible on the bones indeed caused him great pain. But fortunately, he endured it forcefully, so that the ceremony did not fail.
Yes, Master
Shadow Demon’s attitude suddenly changed and he suddenly became well-behaved.
I like it very much
The tone of voice has become visibly flattering, no longer muddy and dangerous animalistic, but has become like a hoarse and low female voice.
Shadow demons are amorphous, having no physical body and no gender.
This is just a clumsy way of expressing its flattery and submission to Aiwass according to its own understanding.
"Then go back first," Aiwass said calmly, "Do you still remember what I asked you to do?"
Of course, my distinguished master
Shadow Demon responded without hesitation.
It turned into a black and vigorous hound, leaped high and crashed into the tantra book Aiwass threw on the ground.
But it was ejected
When the black book was hit by the shadow demon, it suddenly burst out with scorching fire. Like a hammer hitting an anvil.
An impact only caused the black book to be torn, but it was not immediately corroded.
But the Shadow Demon, as if he had been provoked and lost face, immediately transformed into a more ferocious and huge wild wolf, and crashed into the Shepherd Tantra again.
This time it was finally unable to resist the corrosive shadow that continued to pour into the pages. It dried up, decayed, turned black, shrunk, and twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Eventually it turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.
The Shadow Demon sank into Aiwass's shadow again and disappeared without a trace.
Aiwass had no time to carefully wipe the remaining blood on the ceremonial knife, so he could only put the silver dagger back into its sheath. This would undoubtedly destroy the ceremonial knife, but he didn't care anymore.
When the ceremony ended, he felt increasingly tired and dizzy.
His fingers were shaking crazily due to the severe pain and blood loss, and the completely exhausted mana made his brain swell. everything in front of youIt keeps shrinking and expanding, as if it is about to break into pieces after drinking too much, or as if it is unable to raise its eyelids in a high-level mathematics class and is drowsy
Next time, at least a little mana should be saved to use the fire ritual. Law. Being completely depleted of mana can make you so weak
Great, this is a very important experience. It is better to gain it in a safe place than to understand it in a critical situation
In the end, incomplete thoughts emerged in Aiwass's mind. He stumbled toward the bed.
I didn't even have time to take off my clothes and cover myself with a quilt, and fell unconscious on my bed. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
