Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 263: Chapter 170: Your Ability Is Very Important! Chapter 263: Chapter 170: Your Ability Is Very Important! Bishop Jon scanned the priests and nuns before him through his mask.

He was satisfied with the surprise, fear, and excitement that emanated from them.

It was also the reason he had eagerly driven out the two gargoyles, which could only be considered half-finished, as soon as he had crafted them.

But why… did Teresa, who was chosen by the angels, show such great fear, just like those with skeletons in their closet?

This shouldn’t be, for those chosen by angels should be natural saints, should they not?

Bishop Jon took note of Teresa’s emotional fluctuations, which were somewhat unexpected to him.

However, he certainly would not reject the angels’ decision because of this minor flaw.

He shifted his gaze away from Teresa and recited the names of the priests and nuns whose emotions had been stirred before the gargoyles.

Realizing that their past deeds had been uncovered, and witnessing the living stone gargoyles, their mental defenses crumbled.

Without the need for Bishop Jon to do anything further, they knelt on the cold chapel floor, confessing their sins fervently in front of the statue of Our Lady.

“You are merely lost lambs who did not pass the test, now stop crying and return to your own rooms to await processing,” Bishop Jon uttered deeply, as the two gargoyles flew up and perched on the ceiling, glaring angrily at the kneeling sinners.

Those people quickly nodded their heads and left the room, filled with fright and regret.

Suddenly, only ten people remained in the chapel.

Among these ten, truly only two people dominated by feelings of joy and excitement.

The highly anticipated Teresa was not among them.

But in Bishop Jon’s eyes, this was already an acceptable proportion.

In an age where technology has developed and material desires are rampant,

the requirements for the devout must also change accordingly.

The bishops understood the need to move with the times and had always acted accordingly.

As for whether the results were good or not, that was another matter.

“Teresa, come forward!” Bishop Jon called after the unqualified had left, turning his attention to Teresa.
