Just as Yuan Jiu Laozu finished speaking, Lu Ping, who had been staring at the altar the whole time, suddenly cried out, "Look!"
Yuan Jiu Laozu was startled. When he looked up, he saw that the altar below Danzhu Laozu's body suddenly lit up with a layer of blood red light. Then, complex runes began to light up on the altar and the entire altar astonishingly turned into a formation.
This deep cave was filled with spiritual energy. It was clear that it was where the Yuwen family's large spiritual vein gathered. The three altars in front of them were right on top of the spiritual vein, allowing the formations on the three altars to be activated at any time.
As the formation activated, Danzhu Laozu's body that was floating above the formation suddenly trembled. Strands of golden red light began to gather below Danzhu Laozu's body. Finally, a ball of golden light left Danzhu Laozu's body and crashed into the altar.
After this ball of golden light left Danzhu Laozu's body, the originally lifelike Danzhu Laozu's body suddenly became abnormally grey. It was almost as grey as Jiu Xuan Laozu's body on the left, but it looked much better than the Multicolor Tiger tribe leader's body on the right.
Perhaps it was because he was the first of the three True Spirit Cultivators to enter the Northern Ice Fields, the body of the Multicolored Tiger Clan leader on the right looked like it was about to be eroded by the wind, perhaps because he was the first of the three True Spirit Cultivators to enter the Northern Ice Fields.
"This, this looks like the Source Essence condensed in Danzhu Laozu's body after he advanced to the True Spirit Realm!"
Yuan Jiu Laozu asked in a surprised voice. His tone seemed to be filled with disbelief.
Xiao Baiyu nodded and said, "It looks like it. After Danzhu Laozu died, the opponent used some unknown method to prevent the Source Essence in Danzhu Laozu's body from dissipating. Then they used this method to absorb this Source Essence. But what is this Source Essence used for?"
What is it used for?
For a moment, everyone seemed to have thought of something!
A howl came from afar, from small to loud. The altar shone brightly, but it did not come from Danzhu Laozu's altar, which had a lump of origin land absorbed earlier. Instead, it came from the altar under the Multicolored Tiger Clan's patriarch on the right.
A Heavenly Demon with a pale face fell out of the altar. Black Soul Devouring Mist seeped out from the Heavenly Demon's body and began to slowly gather.
Following that, a few more flashes of light flashed one after another, and four Asuras fell from the void above the altar one after another, just in time to guard the Heavenly Demon.
"It really is the source of Mara's appearance. After the True Spirit Cultivators that entered the Northern Ice Plains fell, the source energy condensed in their bodies was actually the source of Mara's appearance!"
Xiao Baiyu's words made everyone feel a chill run down their spines. Right now, only the three True Spirit Cultivators could keep a clear head.
"This altar is also strange. It looks like a Transport Array, but it also looks like a spatial array. It can even absorb the Source Essence of a True Spirit Cultivator's corpse and use it to create Mara's!" Yuan Jiu Laozu seemed to have some knowledge of arrays. He didn't even consider Danzhu Laozu's corpse at this time, rather he wanted to know what use the altar in front of him had.
"This is a one way Transport Array, I don't know where the starting point is. It seems like the three seniors' corpses came here through this Transport Array. Like this, the starting point of this single Transport Array should be the large array that connects the Northern Ice Plains to the outside world?"
Xiang Laozu was also very knowledgeable. As a True Spirit Cultivator of the Ba Gui clan, he had a clear advantage over the other True Spirit Cultivators, which was his lifespan. With his long lifespan, Xiang Laozu had more time to study other things. In terms of knowledge, Xiang Laozu was confident he wouldn't lose to anyone.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon and the four Asuras had already sensed the situation around them. Although the Demonic Luos were mostly unafraid of death, the Heavenly Demons and Asuras had more or less learned to fear, perhaps because they were of a higher rank.
If it was any other area, facing the three True Spirit Cultivators and the dozen Pure Yang Cultivators in front of them, perhaps the Heavenly Demon and the Asuras would have already run away.
However, in this deep cave, the headless Heavenly Demon and the Asura had nowhere to hide, so they could only risk their lives and charge towards the group.
This time, there was no need for the Pure Yang Cultivators to make a move. In order not to interrupt the discussion between the three True Spirit Cultivators, the three True Spirit Cultivators acted at the same time. The Heavenly Demon and the four Asura returned to the world before they could reach the three of them.
However, blood still dripped out of the heavenly devil's body after it was killed. Thinking back to the reddish-gold color he had seen when he extracted the essence from Patriarch Pill Vermillion's body, Yang Qi guessed that it was because of the blood mixed in.
After this Heavenly Demon and four Asuras perished, the Multicolored Tiger Clan's clan leader, who had been floating above the sacrificial altar earlier, finally turned into a puff of ashes. The ball of light that enveloped him also slowly dissipated.
"Looks like each True Spirit Senior's corpse can summon more than one batch of Mara. However, compared to the corpses of the other two True Spirit Seniors, the origin condensed in each True Spirit Cultivator's corpse can summon at least three batches of Mara, and they are high level Mara like the Heavenly Demon and the Asura."
"After absorbing the origin energy, the process of nurturing Mara should take quite a long time. That Multicolored Tiger Clan Leader entered the Northern Ice Plains two hundred years ago, and according to the four batches of high level Mara that were summoned after being absorbed, it would take at least fifty years for each batch to be nurtured!"
"That should be the case, otherwise the great calamity of Mara would not happen once in a thousand years!"
"After this Multicolored Tiger Clan Leader's corpse, who do you think will be the next True Spirit Cultivator to be sent over?"
Everyone was speechless at the same time, falling into a strange silence for a moment.
"It seems like after Martial Uncle Danzhu went to the Northern Ice Plains, I haven't heard of any True Spirit Cultivators from the cultivation world going to the Northern Ice Plains!"
As soon as Yuan Jiu Laozu's voice fell, the altar where the Multicolored Tiger Clan Leader was before suddenly flashed with the special white light of a teleportation array.
After the light fell, a female True Spirit Cultivator's body suddenly appeared on the altar. A ball of light gathered from the altar and wrapped around the female True Spirit Cultivator's body before slowly rising up and floating above the altar.
"Who is this person?" Xiao Baiyu asked Yuan Jiu Laozu and Xiang Laozu.
"I don't know! There doesn't seem to be any female True Spirit Cultivators among the six, un, five sacred grounds. " Yuan Jiu Laozu shook his head, then looked at the surrounding Pure Yang Cultivators, as if testing if his words were correct.
"She doesn't look like a Yao Cultivator!" Xiang Laozu also shook his head.
"That means she might be a hidden cultivator!" Yuan Jiu Laozu guessed, "After all, there are too many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this world, there might be powerful existences that we've never heard of."
Not long after the female True Spirit Cultivator appeared on the altar, the strange runes on the altar appeared again. Strands of source essence were extracted from the female True Spirit Cultivator's body, gradually gathering into a cyan red light that was injected into the altar. The female True Spirit Cultivator's body also started to dim, but it was much better than Danzhu Laozu and Jiuxuan Laozu beside him.
"It seems like every True Spirit Cultivator can have their source essence extracted at least four times in this altar!"
"Four times in two hundred years, three altars, and the cycle of the Great Calamity of Mara is one thousand years. In other words, there will be at least sixty Extraterrestrial Demons and more than two hundred Asuras here in a thousand years!"
"Where do the large and small Mara, as well as the Blood Mara and Jade Mara come from?"
"In short, this deep cave is far from enough. Or it could be said that this deep cave under the Yuwen Family is where the Sky Demons and Asuras come from. There are other things like the deep cave altars in other places, so there can be other high level Mara and large and small Mara coming from there!"
"That's reasonable. Since it's like this, we should just destroy this altar!"
"Let's bury this deep cave too!"
"It's better if we don't, we should just destroy the altar. It's best if we send people to monitor this deep cave to prevent other accidents from happening."
Hong, long, long!
The three altars were destroyed by the three True Spirit Cultivators. The Source Wine Laozu said to the surrounding Pure Yang Cultivators, "Everyone here has personally seen what the Longhuai Ancestor has done and what we will do after today. I hope that when we return to our sects and tribes, we can spread this news. Even if the Yuwen Family is not the mastermind behind this plot, they are still the main accomplice. Therefore, from now on, the Yuwen Family will no longer exist in this world."
"Moreover, Patriarch Long Huai's words from before have already been verified. Everyone, cultivate properly. Earlier, all of us who had just advanced into the True Spirit Realm made a five hundred year agreement with Patriarch Long Huai. In five hundred years, all of us will head to the northern ice plains together to find out the truth. Whether we live or die will depend on this trip. If everyone is willing, then we'll head there together."
