Chapter 169: The Four Sacred Places are the Core of the Formation

In the fire lotus, Hua Changxi felt that her soul was no longer so frozen and stiff, and she slowly regained control of her body. The first thing she did was to check her realm data.

[Realm: Infant Realm 9.9999 million/10 billion; Divine Consciousness: 5+]
She had just taken off into the air and hadn't even flown over the Soul Breaking Mountain when her spiritual awareness suddenly dropped by 60,000 points.

"Whoo~"

The cold wind blew again.

In the fire lotus, Suzaku emerged again, spewing out flames.

When wind and fire meet, a sizzling sound is immediately emitted.

Hua Changxi stood in the center of the fire lotus. The naked eye could not see what was in the cold wind, so she released her spiritual sense. When she "saw" that the cold wind was composed of densely packed black rice-like insects, she suddenly got goose bumps all over her body.

"Soul-Eating Insect!"

There is a detailed record of soul-eating insects in "Bai Cao Jing Zhu". Soul-eating insects are the main material for refining the fifth-grade soul-eating pills, which specialize in devouring the spiritual consciousness of cultivators.

No wonder her spiritual consciousness decreased so quickly. When she thought about the soul-eating insects crawling all over her body just now, Hua Changxi couldn't help but shiver.

Fortunately, with the Fire Lotus protecting her body, she doesn't have to be afraid of the cold wind in the Soul-Breaking Mountain.

However, even with the protection of the Fire Lotus, Hua Changxi still had a hard time crossing the Soul-Breaking Mountain. Firstly, he was not familiar with the road conditions, and secondly, the wind in the mountains was too strong and too fast.

She walked with difficulty, and Eunuch Lin and his group also had difficulty making progress. Hua Changxi flew over two mountains and found a dead body.

He was a eunuch from the Eastern Depot. His soul was completely devoured by soul-eating insects, and his body looked like a dead branch without any moisture.

Hua Changxi followed the trail and continued chasing. Soon, he found the second body. This time the dead person was a tall and strong man.

Next, she saw several more bodies.

When seeing the sixth corpse, Hua Changxi discovered that Eunuch Lin and his party did not continue to cross the Soul-Breaking Mountain, but went out of the Soul-Breaking Mountain and headed towards the west side of the mountain.

The further west we went, the flatter the terrain became. Although the surroundings were still very desolate, the cold wind finally stopped blowing.

The night sky was vast and the land was boundless. The further Hua Changxi walked, the more she felt that Jiuyou was incredibly huge. After walking there twice, she really felt that this seemed like an underground world of its own.

Soon, a huge platform that towered into the sky and looked like a volcano appeared in her sight.

Before Hua Changxi could marvel at the grandeur of the giant platform, she was shocked by the countless densely packed stone terracotta warriors beneath it.

"Everyone, be careful. We are about to enter the military formation. Be sure to follow Master Lu closely. If you take the wrong path, you will surely die."

When Eunuch Lin's voice reached his ears, Hua Changxi realized that the stone terracotta warriors were arranged in a special order.

To get onto the giant platform, you must first pass through the stone terracotta warriors!

Just as Eunuch Lin and his party were about to walk into the stone terracotta warriors, an angry roar sounded in the air.

"Lu Yan!"

When Hua Changxi turned around, he saw a white spaceship speeding towards them.

On the spaceship stood a white-haired old man and a boy and girl in their twenties.

Seeing the person coming behind her, Hua Changxi's face changed. She was glad that she was careful. She put on the invisibility talisman again after leaving Soul Breaking Mountain. Otherwise, she would have been exposed now. When Eunuch Lin and his group saw the person coming, their faces also changed drastically.

"Hurry up and march into the battle formation."

Eunuch Lin and his companions wanted to rush directly into the stone terracotta warriors regardless of the consequences.

"Lu Yan!"

Seeing this, the white-haired old man became furious. He took out his thunder hammer and attacked Eunuch Lin and his group.

"Boom~"

Thunder and lightning struck directly towards Eunuch Lin and his group, blocking their way: "Lu Yan, you are a traitor to your master and ancestors, how dare you covet the divine hammer!"

Master Lu looked very unhappy: "The divine hammer is a sacred object of the Holy Palace. Only those who are capable can obtain it. What right do you have to accuse me of betraying my master and ancestors?"

The white-haired old man jumped off the spaceship and said angrily, "The Divine Hammer is not only the sacred object of the Saint Qi Palace, but also bears the responsibility of suppressing the Eye of the Demon Prison Formation. Now that the Saint Qi Palace has not yet revived, you want to take the Divine Hammer by force, regardless of the wishes of your ancestors. Isn't this betraying your teacher and ancestors?"

Master Lu snorted, "When I get the divine hammer, the Saint Palace will revive, and then it will suppress the Demon Prison."

The white-haired old man was so angry that he cursed: "Bullshit, you took the divine hammer away, and the evil spirit spread. Not to mention the Holy Palace of the Resuscitation Device, the whole world will be in chaos. By then, you will become a sinner for all eternity."

Master Lu didn't believe it at all: "Baili Changfeng, you don't need to exaggerate here. You don't have the final say in the Saint Palace. It's not your turn to control what I do."

Hearing this, the young man behind the white-haired old man spoke up: "Uncle Master, if you are really confident in your ability to refine weapons, why don't you wait a little longer? Wait until the Saint Weapon Palace revives and let the divine hammer choose its own master, right?"

Master Lu glanced at the young man and said, "What do you know? It will take who knows when the Saint Qi Palace will recover on its own. By then, the Saint Qi Palace will probably be controlled by the royal family and dignitaries just like the Saint Dan Palace."

"If we don't seize the hammer first, what can we use to compete with the royal nobles?"

Hua Changxi took advantage of the gap when everyone's attention was drawn away and quietly approached the stone-carved soldier mercenary. She was not interested in the conflict of interest between Master Lu and the white-haired old man. Although she was listening to what the two said, she paid more attention to observing the situation of the stone-carved soldier mercenary. But when she heard about the Dan Sheng Temple, her face changed.

Dan Sheng Temple, Qi Sheng Palace.
What does it mean when Master Nalu compares the Dan Sheng Temple and the Qi Sheng Palace?
Master Lu continued: "In the four holy places, the Dan Sheng Temple and the Fu Sheng Pavilion have all experienced strange phenomena. The Zhen Sheng Palace has also been moving frequently recently. Now only the Qi Sheng Palace has been silent. If nothing is done, the Qi Sheng Palace will be reduced to the bottom of the four holy places."

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered when he heard this.

Four Holy Places
Holy Palace of Weapons, Divine Hammer, Formation Eye, Demon Prison.
Hua Changxi's breathing became a little rapid. If the four holy places of elixir, formation, talisman and weapon were one, wouldn't that mean that the Holy Temple of Alchemy was also the center of the formation?
So, the Dan Sheng Temple is also responsible for suppressing the Demon Prison?

Hua Changxi was extremely surprised by this news, but before she could sigh further, her attention was drawn to the fight between Master Lu and the white-haired old man.

"No matter what, you are not allowed to take the hammer."

"It doesn't matter what you say."

As soon as Master Lu started fighting with the white-haired old man, Eunuch Lin also brought his men to fight with the young men and women brought by the white-haired old man.

Just as the two groups were fighting to the death, Hua Changxi discovered that seven people had quietly entered the group of stone-carved soldiers.

The seven people looked like puppets being controlled before, but now they looked completely conscious.

When Hua Changxi saw this, his expression changed. Did these seven people deliberately pretend to be controlled by Eunuch Lin?

Who are they?
Since he knew that the giant platform was the core of the formation that suppressed the Demon Prison, Hua Changxi naturally did not want to see these people touch the core of the formation. He quietly exerted his spiritual power to block their way. At the same time, he also made a noise, allowing Master Lu and others to discover the abnormality here.
