The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1916 Seven Star Altar
When they were still thirty feet away from the altar, Feng Jiuxiao suddenly said, "Stop!"

Pang Shiwu, Zeng Yong and Big Wolf braked their carriages at the same time!

Feng Jiuxiao jumped off the carriage and walked forward slowly. When he took ten steps, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and groped in the air, as if trying to verify that there was an invisible wall in the air!
Suddenly, there was a snap, and his fingers trembled as if struck by lightning! A spark actually exploded from his fingertips!

Pang Shiwu and others were shocked!
"Enchantment?"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at his fingers and found nothing unusual, which made him feel relieved. It seemed that the person who set up this barrier was not as powerful as himself!
He looked to both sides again and said, "I see."

Yuan Zishan asked: "What's going on?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This barrier is like a mirage, covering up the real Worry-Free Valley. This boundless wilderness is just an illusion!"

Yuan Zishan asked: "This barrier is in the shape of a wall?"

The barrier circulated in the void, presenting a myriad of changing forms. The most common was a translucent spherical light curtain, covering the surroundings like an inverted glass bowl, with ripples of spiritual power floating on the surface like water patterns.

The barrier here is like a long brick wall, like a huge curtain covering the sky blocking everyone's way!

That boundless wilderness is actually just a phantom on the giant screen!
Just walk through the giant screen and you can see the real scene behind the scenes!

However, the altar thirty feet away was extremely clear, as if it really existed!
Feng Jiuxiao walked from left to right, then from right to left, each time walking about ten feet. He was basically sure that this barrier was a wall! A very long wall!
The mysterious voice sounded again, "Anyone who dares to break into my Worry-Free Valley will die!"

The sound was as loud as thunder, lingering in the sky!
Feng Jiuxiao snorted coldly and said, "If you try this on me, don't blame me for being rude!"

He drew out his Xuanhuang sword, and silently recited the "Art of Controlling Thunder". After finishing the last sentence "Taishang Laojun, please hurry up and obey the order", he shouted "Thunder is coming!"
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, a cold wind blew, and a burst of thunder sounded from the clouds!

The mysterious voice suddenly revealed an incredible tone: "Impossible! You actually know the Divine Sky Five Thunders Righteous Method?"

Feng Jiuxiao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He raised his long sword to the sky. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky and pierced the earth, like a giant dragon shining brightly that suddenly entered Feng Jiuxiao's Xuanhuang sword. The Xuanhuang sword instantly shone brightly!

Feng Jiuxiao held the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed it down with all his might, "Break!"

The three-meter-long blade light drew a huge circular blade shadow, directly cutting a hole in the barrier!
Electric snakes were flying in the cracks and flames were splashing!

Fire snakes with flashing electric light swam along the entire giant screen to both ends like ripples expanding outward layer by layer. In an instant, the entire barrier wall that was hundreds of feet long appeared in front of everyone. The entire barrier stretched for several miles to the foot of the mountains on both sides. It was covered with flying electric snakes and rising flames, like a huge electric net or a wall of fire covering the sky, making crackling sounds from time to time, and stretched in front of everyone!
In a short while, the entire barrier gradually disappeared in the burning flames!

The real scene behind the barrier is also revealed!

Thirty feet away there really is a huge altar! It exudes a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere! Behind the altar, there is not an endless wilderness, but rolling mountains and dense forests! This is in line with expectations!

Feng Jiuxiao walked slowly to the altar and couldn't help but frowned!
I saw twelve human bone pillars inserted diagonally into the ground in a barbed shape, each pillar had a dried head tied to it with an iron chain. Judging from the style and pattern of the hat on the head, it should be a wizard!
The depression at the top of the column was filled with black and red mucus, and when the sun shone on it at noon, it would evaporate into a blood mist with a rancid sweet smell. What else could this be but human blood?
The obsidian disc in the center of the altar is full of spiral grooves, and the blood stains over the past thousand years have filled the grooves into strange reliefs. There are seven pits evenly spaced around the edge of the disc, and the ashes left at the bottom of the pits prove that human sacrifices have been carried out here.

Yuan Zishan showed a look of surprise and doubt, "Is this... the Seven Star Festival?"

"Seven Stars Sacrifice" - Use blood as ink, bones as pens, and write a forbidden contract with the Big Dipper!
Feng Jiuxiao once saw the record of the Seven Star Sacrifice in a book called “Sacrificial Rituals of All Nations”.

Full of weirdness and blood!
At this moment he fell into deep thought, and in a trance, a strange scene seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He saw seven whale blubber torches suddenly turn green at the same time!

The grooves on the obsidian altar began to wriggle on their own, contracting and expanding like hungry intestines. The blood stains that had dried for thousands of years were awakening, emitting the smell of rotten copper rust.

The great wizard's bronze mask reflected the distorted starlight. He raised his staff inlaid with meteorite iron, and the tip of the staff cut through the air, bringing up a string of blue lightning. The first star, the position of Tianshu, the corresponding stone groove began to ooze black mucus.

"It's time for an audience."

Seven sacrifices were dragged by chains through a tunnel paved with bone meal.

They wear collars of different materials

Tianshu: Bronze (Old Man)
Tianxuan: Silver (pregnant woman)

Tianji: Gold (child)

Tianquan: Black Iron (Warrior)

Yuheng: Jade (blind girl)

Kaiyang: Amber (poet)
Fluctlight: Crystal (Wizard)

The moonlight reflected colorful spots on the collar, as if they were wearing a miniature galaxy! The old man was pressed in the center of the stone plate, and the wizard used a flint knife to cut out his heart.

When the aging organ fell into the groove, a ten-foot-high pillar of blue fire suddenly rose up on the north side of the altar - that was the projection of the Big Dipper on the ground!

This is the Tianshu positioning!

Then the pregnant woman's abdomen was cut open, and the unborn fetus, along with the umbilical cord, was immersed in the blood trough. The amniotic fluid and blood mixed to form a silver mercury slurry, which automatically flowed into the shape of the Big Dipper.

This is Tianxuan’s pregnancy blood!

When the wizard's own heart was ripped out, all the torches burst into flames at once, and his crystal collar exploded into dust, the fragments forming a collapsing vase pattern in the air.

This is the resonance of Yaoguang!

The altar began to sink.

It was not the physical sinking visible to the naked eye, but the space itself twisting in a funnel shape around the altar. The blood in those grooves flowed upstream and returned to the bodies of the dead—but only seven star corpse puppets were resurrected!
Constellation lights shone through their skin, and strange tentacles stretched out from their skulls. The seven living sacrifices spoke at the same time, and what they uttered was not human language, but the strange hum of strange beasts!
The Great Wizard's rotten vocal cords vibrated:

"The passage is open, the Devourer is coming."

Every corpse is a medium...

"Brother!" Pang Shiwu's voice suddenly sounded!
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly came back to his senses, "I was distracted just now!"

"What are you thinking about, brother?"

"Thinking about this seven-star human sacrifice!"

"What's so unusual about this human sacrifice?"

"Cruel! Mysterious!"

"Cruel? Mysterious? How cruel? How mysterious?"

"It's cruel because it uses living people for sacrifice!"

"There are many customs of using living people for sacrifice. What's so special about this?"

"In other living sacrifices, there are adults, women, and even children. But in the Seven Stars Festival, no one is prohibited from sacrificing! The elderly, pregnant women, young children, blind girls, warriors... even the wizard himself must sacrifice himself!"

"Fuck, so crazy? It's cruel enough!"

"That's right!"

"What about the mystery?"

"Other sacrifices are nothing more than praying for rain, longevity, blessings from the gods, and asking the heavens to show miracles to guide the next action, but the Seven Stars Sacrifice seems to be summoning the outer demons!"

"Extraterritorial Demon?"

"Many things are beyond my understanding, so I won't think about them anymore. Now let's find the entrance to Worry-Free Valley first!"

Pang Shiwu looked around and said, "There are forests all around, and this is just a depression. I don't know which is the right direction."

Zeng Yong said: "It seems that we were led into a maze from the beginning. Everything we saw and heard along the way was completely different from our imagination."

Erni said: "Yeah, I feel like I'm being led by the nose."

Feng Jiuxiao also felt unsure, not knowing where the problem was. Perhaps it was the fog.

He closed his eyes and extended his spiritual power outwards, ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet... Finally, eighty feet away, deep in the southeast corner of the forest, there were seven or eight people standing. One of them was holding a copper clairvoyance and peering over here.

Those people were dressed very ordinary, but they didn't look like people from Wuyou Valley.

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
