Olivia was clearly highly valued within the Radiant Light Church. This was evident from the fact that three Evolvers were directly waiting outside for her advancement to Skywalker.
Hearing Sybil's words, Olivia nodded with a smile.
Next, the group came before the statue of the Radiant Goddess. After a period of prayer, they arrived at the church headquarters.
Olivia felt her vision blur for a moment, and the scenery she saw underwent a massive change.
In the church headquarters, the first thing that met her eyes was a boundless sea of flowers.
Brilliant, vivid flowers that never withered or faded stretched to the end of her vision, drifting with an intoxicating fragrance.
Between the blue sky and white clouds, floating islands existed one after another, presenting a truly fantastical scene.
This was the church headquarters.
After arriving, Olivia immediately followed the three nuns—Sybil and the others—onto the nearest floating island. Then, through a teleportation array on that island, they reached their destination.
They arrived at a fairly large floating island.
On this floating island, there was a continuous mountain range, where the vegetation was lush and verdant.
This was a resource island used by the church for planting various spiritual plants.
The location Olivia needed for her advancement ritual, the Never-Falling Abyss, was on this island.
The island had already been cleared in advance. Currently, no unrelated personnel were present.
Sybil told Olivia that the preparations for her advancement ritual had already been completed in the mountains, and Olivia could simply walk over.
This made Olivia sigh in admiration.
She knew how complex the situations other Summoners had to face during their advancements.
After all, she possessed the magic mirror, and she could learn about such matters from time to time.
For an ordinary transcendent, an advancement ritual was a major hurdle on the path of transcendence. Every advancement was a difficult process.
But for Olivia, everything seemed to become very easy.
Of course, it wasn't just easy for her, but also for the other clergy in the church.
With a massive backing like the Radiant Light Church, transcendents within the church could naturally walk this path much more easily than those wild transcendents.
Olivia walked unhurriedly toward the mountain range.
After walking for a while, she found a thick mist appearing ahead, shrouding a large area.
She knew that was the area for her advancement ritual that night.
The ground was covered in Sylvan Runes, the ritual was already in operation, and the divine light mist surged back and forth, exuding a mysterious aura.
Olivia stepped directly into the coverage of the divine light mist.
She walked unhurriedly. Even though visibility was extremely poor, she did not lose her way, still accurately walking in the correct direction.
Her spirituality provided her with guidance.
With every step she took, she could determine which direction her next step should be in.
Under this invisible guidance, she slowly passed through the range of the divine light mist.
When the surrounding environment became slightly clearer, Olivia found herself standing on a high cliff.
She looked down. Below the cliff was an endless abyss. This was the extremely famous and magical location within the church—the Never-Falling Abyss.
On the edge of the cliff, a bottle of potion that had long been prepared was placed there.
It was a potion made by infusing the heart blood of a pegasus with the heart of a wind element.
Olivia picked up the potion and drank it unhurriedly.
Subsequently, she felt a surge of spirituality spread from her body as the potion entered her stomach, quickly dispersing throughout her entire being and causing her magic power to circulate automatically.
At this moment, she felt her body become light, as if she were a feather that could drift into the sky with a single gust of wind.
At this stage, the advancement ritual had reached its final process.
Olivia did not hesitate and leaped toward the Never-Falling Abyss, letting herself fall freely.
The whistling wind blew past her sides, causing her long golden hair to flutter high.
A sense of weightlessness permeated her body, naturally bringing a feeling of lack of security.
What Olivia had to do was overcome this feeling and gain insight during this process of falling, thereby mastering the method of flight.
Among the most basic desires of humanity, flight was one that could not be ignored.
Even children have yearned for birds to fly into the blue sky, but for the vast majority of humans, it was simply impossible.
Even transcendents had to become Skywalkers before they had the ability to fly and the capital to stand high in the sky and look down upon the vast earth.
And now, Olivia had arrived at this boundary line.
Olivia did not know how long she had been falling. Perhaps it was a long time, or perhaps it hadn't been long at all.
In short, at a certain moment, she suddenly had a subtle realization.
She felt that the entire world was actually composed of various particles.
Air was composed of countless tiny particles invisible to the naked eye, and elements were the same. These two types of particles were the most abundant in the world.
Humans existing between heaven and earth were walking among countless particles.
Since particles existed on the ground and in the sky, why could humans only walk on the ground but not swim in the sky?
Olivia felt that as long as a person could clearly sense the existence of these particles and knew the correct way to use them, they could completely swim from the ground to the sky through this method of swimming. This was the most primitive form of flight.
With this enlightenment, Olivia began to sense the existence of the particles around her more and more clearly.
Those particles were like a current of water. Being surrounded by these particles was like swimming in a river.
Olivia quickly mastered the method of treating these particles as a water current. She immediately achieved control over herself, slowing her downward trend.
Gradually, she no longer fell but stabilized in mid-air.
She had learned to fly.
In that very instant, Olivia successfully completed her transformation and advanced to become a Skywalker.
Finally, after experiencing a turbulent transcendent career, she had reached the final stage of a mid-level class rank transcendent.
