Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 581: The Anthropophobia of the Sacrificial Spirit Tribe

"It's okay, keep working."

The panicked ghost cultivator suddenly felt a pull again, and before he could react he found himself in the Burial Grounds again.

They didn't dare to ask or inquire.

I did whatever the Taoist master said and continued to work.

But one can imagine the shock in his heart. Everything that happened just now was definitely not an illusion. The presence of so many ghost cultivators proved that it really happened.

But I can only keep it in my heart. I can’t run to ask the Lord, “What just happened? Please tell us.”

It would be strange if the Taoist master cared about you.

Xuan Huang returned to the temple and continued his retreat.

He sorted out the incident before going into seclusion, and then didn't pay much attention to it.

"Lord Fusheng? I will remember you."

Xuanhuang said.

…………

Deep in the distant universe, there is a territory filled with grayish-white fog.

Visible to the naked eye, there are spots of light flickering in the gray-white fog. If you look closely, you will find that each flickering light is an endless number of distorted faces.

They struggled in pain and screamed silently.

Even hell is brighter than here. The entire territory is filled with the smell of decay and corruption, like a direct manifestation of doom and disaster.

Time and space are infected, and even an occasional gust of wind makes people feel despair.

This is one of the five holy places, a holy place for worshiping spirits.

The Sacrifice Spirit Clan was born from here.

Above the Sacrifice Spirit Continent, in the grayish-white fog, there is some existence as well. There are many densely packed huge portals.

These portals are also made of gray-white gas, and standing beside each portal is a small team of spirit worshipers of different species.

The ethnic differences among the Sacrificial Spirit Clan are not determined by their external appearance, but by the aura of doom and decay.

Each of them is a walking devil of disaster.

In front of one of the huge gates, many members of the Spirit Worshiping Clan gathered here, and among them there was a treasure that looked like a tomb floating in the air.

The spirit worshippers below looked at the existence on the grave with pious eyes.

He is one of the seven great priests of the Spirit Sacrifice Clan and the third priest.

"Go, children, conquer them, and offer all they have as sacrifices to the First Ancestors to prove that you are powerful."

The third priest on the grave waved the dry wooden cane in his hand and shouted temptingly to the group of people offering sacrifices to the spirits below.

Among this group of Spirit Sacrifice people, the strongest and the weakest are both first-level transcendents, and there is not a single second-level transcendent.

"Roar!"

The Spirit Sacrifice Clan team, composed of various forms and with ferocious looks on their faces, expressed their determination with an explosive roar without saying anything.

"Boom!" Then the gate opened wide, light flashed, and a breath that they hated very much came from the gate.

Then the light flickered like a slide show, until the aura emanating from the portal was no longer so offensive, but instead had a sense of familiarity. The priest waved his hand, and the first-level extraordinary team below rushed into the portal without hesitation.

"Boom, clang!"

Not until everyone had entered the portal did it tremble and close, making a huge roar and the sound of swords colliding.

Then a weak light appeared in the portal until it completely disappeared, as if it had exhausted all its energy and disappeared after the ceremony was completed.

"Success."

The third priest said, unable to hide his excitement.

Standing around him were three third-level weird tribesmen.

However, they are just ordinary third-level high-level officials, not third-level like the seven priests.

They can reach the third level because their abilities can only reach the third level.

The seven great priests are at the third level, and heaven and earth only allow the third level to appear.

Even so, I have heard the priests say many times that after entering the late third stage, they vaguely felt that the heaven and earth were suppressing them.

This means that the seven great priests are about to reach a limit. Under the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, their strength has attracted the attention of the rules.

But it is not serious, and you usually can't feel it without careful observation.

They are all at the third level. The High Priest is so strong that the heaven and earth begin to restrict him, while those of us who are at the third level are only at the early stage. Those in the middle stage are very rare.

Moreover, I don’t feel any pressure or restrictions at all, and I don’t feel anything no matter how hard I try.

They understood the gap between themselves and the seven great priests. Even if all the third-level ones were added together, they might not be a match for a high priest.

They call the seven great priests the Tianqing Ones.

It means that the appearance of such an existence is something that heaven and earth will celebrate.

Of course, this is just a flattery. If heaven and earth are celebrating, why should there be any restrictions?
Those who are hated by heaven are almost the same.

But they didn’t dare to call him that, so they could only flatter him and call him Master Tianqing.

Of course, compared to someone, the seven great priests are really Tianqing people. After all, they are just at the beginning. When someone was in the middle stage of the third level, someone could only stay in Qingyun Mountain.

When you reach the late third stage, even Qingyun Mountain will feel very stressful, and you can only move around once every seven days.

Compared to someone, they were not wrong.

"The ancestor succeeded."

After hearing the third priest's sigh, the first and third level priests also spoke excitedly.

"That's right." The third priest said with emotion: "I thought it would be impossible to succeed. After all, it is one of the five holy places. When it came to the holy place of the human race before, it still required the ancestors to distort time and space. I didn't expect that this holy place of all races didn't require this. Under the premise of not costing much, it actually successfully established a portal."

"Ancestor, it's a pity that the portal ran out of energy after one transmission and it broke." A master of the Jiling clan said with concern.

Although it was successful, it was a one-time thing and broke into pieces after the person was teleported over.

This is not an ordinary portal. The Spirit Sacrifice Clan has different classifications of portals, and this is the highest level portal.

But even so, it became a one-time thing.

"Success is all that matters. Nothing else matters. After all, this is one of the five holy places. Not everyone can easily set foot in it. And there was no hope at all before. I don't know what happened recently. The seal has loosened."

The priest said doubtfully.

They had a plan before. The ordinary world and creatures could no longer satisfy their appetite, so they began to explore the holy land of mankind.

Unfortunately, after paying the price of a teleportation platform, we ended up with nothing.

He also saw from the side that humans had fought back all the way, from the last to the first among the five holy places, to a point that his own holy place of spiritual sacrifice would find it difficult to catch up in a short time.

After suffering a great loss, they began to have a little fear of humans.

Although they have never seen this opponent, his invisible influence on them has already been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Especially the seven priests are a bit anthropophobic.

So, they changed immediately. Since the human holy land is so strong, I will start from the weakest.

His eyes instantly locked onto the Holy Land of All Races.

There are many reasons for choosing the Holy Land of All Races. First, it is the weakest of the five holy lands. Second, it is the only one of the five holy lands without a dominant overlord. The second factor is especially favorable to them. Without a clear overlord, they are a mess. Otherwise, the fire of civilization would have been ignited long ago.

Among the five holy places currently, this is the only one that has not ignited the fire of civilization.

Taking many aspects into consideration, this is the most suitable place for invasion and conquest.

After that, they started to plan.

The best layout is naturally the same as the layout for humans, using a teleportation platform to build a portal. This is the most stable and in line with the operating rules of the universe.

After all, the teleportation platforms are gifts given by the universe to some non-holy land creatures.

There are always lucky groups who use the teleportation platform to go to the holy land.

But the price is too high.

The previous one was because they were lucky and got it at a relatively low price.

If they want to get one again, they need to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Altar. As long as the origin offered is sufficient, the Ancestral Altar will grant them one.

But they gave up this plan because they needed too much origin.

After all, this thing is not very precious. What is precious is the rules of the universe. To reverse the rules of the universe, too many origins are needed.

After that, they set their sights on the teleportation portal.

The teleportation portal is their main means of transportation for conquering the universe, and it also originates from the Ancestral Altar.

Anyway, for them, as long as the source of sacrifice is sufficient, they can get anything.

This is path dependence. Since there is such dependence, there is no need to use your brain to think of solutions.

What's more, they were born to destroy, so it is too difficult for them to use their brains to create, because they are born to destroy everything.

Creating and researching such delicate work is beyond their capabilities.

If you want anything, including weapons, all you have to do is make a sacrifice.

This is how the teleportation portal came about. After they obtained the portal, they traveled through various worlds or the universe.

The current abilities are closely related to the emergence of the portal.

Because of the existence of the portal, they discovered many ethnic groups and worlds, and all the creatures in these worlds and ethnic groups were sacrificed by them.

The gray-white mist surrounding the entire sacred place for sacrificial offerings is the obsession and resentment of these sacrificed worlds and creatures that have not yet been eliminated.

But these are useless. To the spirit-worshipping people who are the true form of the disaster, what use are these? They are just oxygen to breathe.

"Has something unexpected happened?"

This is not the first time they have sacrificed the highest level of teleportation portal to connect the holy land of all races.

All of them had failed before, and the portal leading to the holy land of all races could not be sacrificed.

But not long ago, they actually succeeded and obtained a portal seed of the highest level through their sacrifice.

This made them overjoyed, but they also wondered if something had happened.

It has to be said that the rise of Xuanhuang and the aftereffects of human brilliance are quite large.

The previous Spirit Sacrificial Clan had no idea what fear was, and had no idea what misfortune was.

Because none of the misfortunes are as strong as me, I just have to crush them.

It was the emergence of human civilization that corrected their arrogant character. After suffering losses at the hands of humans, they learned to reflect.

"There must be an unexpected situation, otherwise it wouldn't succeed suddenly. We have tried it many times before, but we didn't succeed recently. There must be something wrong." The priest said to himself.

The masters of the Sacrifice Spirit Clan did not dare to interrupt on this topic.

"But no matter what, the Holy Land of All Races is not the Holy Land of Humanity. Even if they have ignited the fire of civilization, they are still far behind our race."

The priest said to himself to comfort himself.

"You guys stay here and report any situation immediately." The third priest said to several third-level masters.

"Yes, ancestor." Several third-level spirit worshipers responded.

The teleportation portal is naturally not a one-way channel, but a two-way channel with an unlimited number of uses.

It's just that this has become a one-time thing, with only the ability to go back and forth.

If the Sacrifice Spirit Clan that was teleported over encounters danger or has established a foothold somewhere, they can teleport back and leave behind their coordinates, and then they can target that place.

Even if each transmission consumes a portal seed, it doesn't matter.

The priest left.

The third-level master of the Jiling clan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you noticed that the first holy land of all races that was connected is emitting the disgusting energy of spiritual practice?" asked the Yijiling tribe.

"I feel it. This kind of cultivation civilization is the most numerous no matter where it is... This is also the pitiful thing about these creatures. They still need to practice and comprehend on their own. Unlike my race, there is no need at all. Everything has a great ancestor."

Political correctness exists everywhere, and this place is no exception.

They could never be too loyal to the ancestral altar that gave birth to their spirit-sacrificing civilization.

When the teleportation portal was first connected to the Holy Land of All Races, there was indeed an aura of a civilized practice emanating from it. Such a place was obviously not suitable for a race like theirs that was born from destruction.

Therefore, the rapid conversion of the portal is equivalent to scanning the holy land of all races.

Finally, I chose a place that, although I’m still not satisfied with, is generally acceptable.

A cold and gloomy atmosphere lingered, as if countless wronged souls were howling.

It's not worse than their hometown.

"The place I finally chose is okay. It has a familiar feel, but I feel it's quite dangerous. There were shadows flashing by. I feel those shadows are no less powerful than me, or even stronger than me."

Another expert from the Spirit Sacrifice Clan said.

"Yes, I felt it too. I hope the children can make it through this... As long as we build the altar, everything will be a resource for the children's growth."

"Having said that, I don't think it's that simple. Don't forget, we can only send first-level clansmen. Second-level ones won't be able to pass. If these children sacrifice a lot and achieve second-level or even higher, then it will be a problem for them to come back. I don't think it's that simple." An expert had a different opinion.

"The ancestor said that it was because of the suppression of civilizations. The mutual suppression of civilizations between holy places caused it. If the Wuwo people descended on another holy place, they would inevitably be suppressed by the other holy place. To be honest, we were able to pass through because of an unexpected event."

"misfortune?"

When talking about the unexpected events, they were no longer sleepy and became very interested.

But I don’t understand what this is. The ancestors were worried just now because they saw it.

But they don’t understand what kind of unexpected events could bring trouble to the Spirit Sacrifice Clan.

"You say, is it because of the attack on the forbidden holy land before?"

"Forbidden holy land?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"hiss!"

Several people were terrified.

After all, a certain holy place was originally clearly visible on the Monument to Civilization, but it was permanently covered up not long ago.
