Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 1 The Priest's Temple! The Holy Son of Life!
Holy Demon Continent.

Zhennanguan, the main hall of the pastor's sanctuary, the sacrificial hall.

A beautiful woman dressed in a white robe and with flowing golden hair sat gracefully on the throne, gazing tenderly at a handsome young man before her.

"Zichen, your external spiritual power has almost reached its peak. It's time to prepare for the awakening of your innate internal spiritual power."

Ruoshui, who served as the deputy temple master of the priests' temple and the temple master of the priesthood, spoke up.

"Yes, Master, I'm ready."

Chu Zichen nodded; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

All told, he has been in this world called the Holy Demon Continent for a full ten years.

His father was a warrior and his mother was a priest. They lived together in Zhennan City, but both of them died in a battle against the demons when Chu Zichen was five years old.

After his parents died, he went to live in an orphanage in Zhennan City. He received training as a pastor from a young age and won the favor of Ruoshui with his talent and character, becoming her disciple.

He became a first-order priest at the age of 8, a second-order priest at the age of 9, and now at the age of 10, he is not far from becoming a third-order priest.

When one's external spiritual power reaches its peak of 200 points, it is time to awaken one's innate internal spiritual power.

In the future, all professions will need internal spiritual power to advance, so its importance is beyond doubt.

One's innate spiritual power also determines the upper limit of their future cultivation. For example, someone with an innate spiritual power of only 10 will basically never be able to break through to the third level.

"Then let's begin now."

Ruoshui slowly stood up from her seat, striding forward with her long, sexy legs clad in white stockings, and approached Chu Zichen.

Despite her gentle and delicate appearance, she is actually a cardinal bishop with a cultivation level of the eighth rank peak. In her youth, she was in the same demon-hunting group as the Divine Knight Long Xingyu.

"May the light protect you!"

With a casual wave of her hand, Ruoshui instantly completed a seventh-tier light-based skill, forming a golden light shield that enveloped her and Chu Zichen.

Holding the Awakening Stone, Ruoshui began to awaken Chu Zichen's innate spiritual power. A dazzling golden pillar of light surged above his head, representing the height of his innate spiritual power.

10, 20, 30, 40, 50...

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zichen's innate spiritual power exceeded fifty, and a beautiful smile appeared on Ruoshui's face.

Fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty...

When his innate spiritual power exceeded eighty, even the usually composed Ruoshui couldn't help but show a look of shock.

Eighty-five, ninety...

Until finally, when his innate spiritual power exceeded ninety, Ruoshui was completely unsettled.

To date, the Priest's Temple has never had a priest with an innate spiritual power exceeding ninety!

Finally, Chu Zichen's innate spiritual power settled down.

Ninety-five.

"Child of Life!! With innate spiritual power exceeding ninety, Zichen is the first Child of Life in the history of our Priest Temple!"

Ruoshui's full breasts heaved violently, reflecting the turmoil in her heart.

The various temples have different names for those with innate spiritual power exceeding ninety.

The Knights' Temple calls them the Sons of Light, the Assassins' Temple calls them the Sons of Reincarnation, and the Soul Temple calls them the Holy Sons of Souls.

In their priestly temple, they are called the Son of Life, or the Son of Nature.

Because the priests' temple worships the Goddess of Life, also known as the Lord of Nature, and the Son of Life is the messenger of the Goddess of Life on earth.

At the same time, the statue of the Goddess of Life, which stands in the very center of the main hall of the priests' temple, seems to have sensed the birth of the Son of Life and trembles incessantly.

"Ah...that feels so good..."

Chu Zichen, having finished his awakening, opened his eyes again, only to find that his clothes had vanished.

"Zichen, congratulations! God truly blesses humanity, God blesses the Priest Temple!" Ruoshui was still in a state of excitement and suddenly stepped forward to give him a tight hug.

No, Master, are you using this to test your disciple?

After much difficulty, Ruoshui finally calmed down, but then she saw Chu Zichen, who was still unable to remain composed, and her face flushed slightly.

I almost forgot that the spiritual energy during the awakening process would damage the clothes...

"Put your clothes on first."

Ruoshui quickly regained her composure, took out a priest's robe from her spatial ring, and handed it to Chu Zichen.

Chu Zichen quickly put on his clothes. Although Ruoshui was his master, it was still a little awkward to be so frank with her!
"By the way, Master, what was the result of my innate inner spiritual power?"

Chu Zichen, unaware of the outcome of his awakening, quickly asked.

"Your innate spiritual power is ninety-five points! You are the first Child of Life in our Priest Temple to date. Legend has it that the Child of Life can comprehend the lost magic of life."

Ruoshui began to explain, her voice still trembling with excitement:
"In terms of healing and support effects alone, life magic is far superior to the light magic that our priests specialize in. When mastered to its peak, it can even bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Moreover, it is said that life magic has other unique effects, but it has been lost for too long, and we do not know the specifics."

Child of Life?

Knowing the result, Chu Zichen nodded, but did not show excessive excitement.

After all, this year's Temple Alliance has produced unparalleled geniuses with innate spiritual power exceeding ninety points in the Knight Temple, Assassin Temple, and Soul Temple.

I wonder how I, the Holy Son of Life, compare to the Son of Light, the Holy Maiden of Reincarnation, and the Holy Maiden of Soul?

By the way, I remember that in the original novel's dreamlike paradise, there was a goddess of life.

"By the way, Zichen, remember to keep your innate spiritual power a secret. Don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Suddenly remembering something, Ruoshui solemnly emphasized to Chu Zichen again.

"I see."

Chu Zichen nodded slightly. He knew very well that the Holy Temple Alliance was not a monolithic entity, and that there were many demon spies hidden within it.

The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Before you are fully grown, the best way to develop your strength is to be stealthy and cautious!

Now, because he has awakened his innate inner spiritual power, his total spiritual power, including his outer spiritual power, has successfully broken through 200 and is even approaching 300.

Therefore, he successfully became a third-order priest.

"Huh? This is..."

Just then, Chu Zichen clearly felt that there seemed to be some profound enlightenment in his mind, or more accurately, a brand new skill tree!

Life magic!

This is the life magic that has been lost for many years!

All life magic skills are stored in this skill tree.

However, at present he can only grasp the basics of life magic, and his magic is all low-level magic of the first, second and third order.

However, life magic is indeed very powerful in the fields of healing and support.

Tier 1 Life Healing Spell: Accelerates the healing of the target's injuries for 10 seconds;
Second-tier Life Restoration Spell: Restores 100 spirit power to the target every second for 20 seconds;
Tier 3 Life Purification: Removes all negative status effects from the target, including fire-based burning, ice-based freezing, poison-based poisoning, and darkness-based corruption, etc., for 30 seconds.
While all three are based on healing, spirit restoration, and purification spells, life magic is more than ten times more powerful than light magic.

"Wait... what kind of magic is this?"

Besides these life-saving magics in the fields of healing and support, Chu Zichen also made a surprising discovery of some other unusual existences.

First-tier Skin Tear Technique?

Second-stage rhabdomyolysis?
Tier 3 Blood Burning Technique?
