Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 322 Mysterious Stone Pillar
Chu Youtian gasped and looked at Xu Chunniang.

"I also ask Fellow Daoist Yan to come over and help. After we get out, we will be one and half of this baby."

Xu Chunniang thought for a while, but she didn't refuse. She clasped the stele tightly with both hands, and lifted it up vigorously.

However, the combined strength of the two of them still couldn't shake the stele.

After several attempts to no avail, Xu Chunniang let go of her hands helplessly.

"This stele seems to have grown in the soil, and it can't be pulled out at all."

Chu Youtian refused to give up, he took two steps back and picked up the spear that was thrown aside.

"I'm digging today, and I'm going to dig it out!"

After finishing speaking, he used his spear to dig up a circle of soil around the stele, intending to forcefully dig out the stele.

Xu Chunniang thought for a while, raised the bone blade and began to help.

However, the two dug five feet around the stele, but still failed to dig out the stele. The exposed part was just the tip of the iceberg.

What kind of stele is this? It is more like a stone pillar.

On the part of the stone pillar buried in the soil, there are more runes on the uneven surface, but they are also blurred and cannot be distinguished.

Chu Youtian obviously didn't expect such a result, he looked at Xu Chunniang hesitantly, "Are you still digging?"

Xu Chunniang picked a few leaves and gently wiped the dirt on the bone blade.

"Don't dig it. Let's not talk about whether the stone pillar can be dug out, even if it is lucky to dig out the old man, there is no way to take it away in this land of absolute spirits without aura."

Chu Youtian was a little frustrated, he finally came across a treasure, but he couldn't take it away.

As soon as they entered the cave, they felt an extremely slight vibration, which seemed to come from behind.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in the other's eyes.

"The ground moved just now?"

"It seems that the stone pillar shook."

At this moment, the shock struck again, and it was hundreds of times stronger than before.

The cave collapsed and the rocks rolled down. The two almost fell to the ground and were hit by the rocks.

Xu Chunniang finally confirmed that the vibration came from the direction of the stone pillar.

"Exit the cave first!"

However, just as the two retreated, the entrance of the cave was blocked by a falling boulder, trapping them in the cave.

Fortunately, the earthquake came and went faster, and not long after the entrance of the cave was blocked, the feeling of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking stopped abruptly.

Chu Youtian heaved a sigh of relief, with a look of luck on his face, "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to be buried here alive."

This natural karst cave has already collapsed in half during the earthquake just now, if the earthquake lasted a little longer, his little life would really have to be confessed here.

Xu Chunniang's complexion was also not good. The cave was blocked, so she had no choice but to continue walking inside.

Thinking that the earthquake just now came from the direction of the stone pillar, she was thoughtful.

"Could it be that we dug that stone pillar, which caused the earthquake?"

The earthquake was inexplicable, and it happened right after the two broke ground, so she couldn't help but think about it.

Chu Youtian recalled, when he ran to the entrance of the cave first, he vaguely saw a black light flashing on the stone pillar.

It was just a quick glance, and he wasn't sure if he read it wrong.

After he told Xu Chunniang about this, heartache and regret appeared on his face.

"I just said that the stone pillar is a good thing. Just by moving the soil next to it, it caused such a strong earthquake. It's a pity, alas."

Xu Chunniang ignored him and walked up the stone steps in the cave.

If the earthquake was really caused by the stone pillar, after digging it out, the two of them might really die.

It was just lucky not to be hit by a rock, if it happens again, it may not be such good luck.

The earthquake affected a wide range. Except for Xu Chunniang and Chu Youtian who were the first to bear the brunt, everyone in the entire valley felt the strong earthquake.

Beside the huge altar, a large group of people surrounded it.

Their faces were ashen, their bodies trembling, they kept kneeling and kowtowing to the altar, muttering to themselves.

"Master Witch God is angry."

"Who offended Sir Wu Shen, please calm down."

"Sorcerer God, the sacrifices will be ready soon. Our family has prepared eight sacrifices this time, and they will definitely satisfy you."

It wasn't until the shock completely disappeared that their anxiety gradually calmed down.

The leading village chiefs got up and frowned after looking around for a week.

"There are foreigners coming in, and there are quite a few of them. I can feel a lot of strange atmosphere, which makes people uncomfortable."

"Those outsiders are hiding very well. Be careful to protect the altar. Don't let them destroy the sacrifice and anger the Witch God."

"A foreigner who is overconfident, hehe."

After a few people communicated, they directed the clansmen to deliver the selected sacrifices to the tall altar.

Those selected sacrifices were all children under the age of 12.

They sat on the altar, their eyes wide open curiously, not yet clear about their next fate.

Soon, there were more and more people on the altar, and there were fifty or sixty people.

You Siniang watched this scene from a distance, couldn't help licking the corner of her lips with her tongue, and a look of covetousness flashed in her eyes.

"Although they are all mortals with no cultivation, so much blood, spirit and soul add up to a lot of power."

Tan Lang was taken aback by the meaning of her words, "Don't mess around, blood sacrifice is no different than others, your blood is different from theirs, you can't get these powers at all."

"I know, I'm just a little greedy. If these people can sacrifice to me, maybe they can use this to break through the golden core."

Regret appeared in You Siniang's eyes, which turned cold.

"Since I can't get it, I will destroy it. Anyway, these natives have no good intentions at all."

There were not a few monks who sneaked into the valley like You Siniang, most of them came in with people from other villages.

After seeing this scene from a distance, they had different expressions, some were filled with righteous indignation, and some were indifferent.

But no matter what everyone's attitude is, at least so far, a consensus has been reached to destroy the sacrifice.

After all, the key to leaving the Land of Absolute Spirits is most likely related to this sacrifice and the object of the sacrifice.

On the tall altar, many sacrifices were finally placed in place.

The twelve village chiefs led their clansmen to guard the twelve positions around the altar, and began to pray fervently and long.

After the ceremony begins, the witch god will wake up from his deep sleep and enjoy the sacrifices.

In a mountainside not far from the altar, Xu Chunniang stopped suddenly, "Did you hear any sound?"

Chu Youtian listened carefully for a while, "It sounds like an ancient tone, but I can't understand it."

The two looked at each other and walked in the direction of the sound. After walking a few steps, they saw another stone pillar. The unearthed part was only three feet long.

Along the way, this was already the eighth stone pillar they encountered.
