They kept moving forward!
This was a battlefield that had been buried underground for countless years. Many parts of it had been destroyed or even broken off and merged with the earth. Therefore, many of the tunnels had become dead ends, slowly turning the ruins into a different kind of labyrinth.
Basically, if one wandered around in this place, he would probably go in a wrong direction and risk triggering all kinds of restrictive spells. In the end, he would find that the end of the passage had become a dead end, and he would have to retreat.
Therefore, in the past few years, the Jade Lake and the other big sects hadn't been able to find an accurate path in this place. Only Buttface and Duan Jiude, who had gotten a fortune or even a map, had been able to excavate this place and take away the inheritance from it. This had aroused the covetous attention of many people.
Now that they had appeared once again, they were immediately discovered by people. The Divine Farmer Clan had even prepared a trump card for them, and they had threatened Liu Jingning and her companions to force them to show themselves. This was why they had a chance to trace Buttface and Duan Jiude's tracks and follow them inside.
However, Buttface and Duan Jiude were still the best at tricking people.
On the way, they set up all kinds of traps. When they finally entered the inheritance land, they tricked the Divine Farmer Clan and other big sects, which caused them to kill each other on the altar.
Xu Que, Bai Cailing, and Bai Cailing went deeper into this place. In the end, they arrived at the entrance mentioned by the cultivators.
This was a road with seven forks. Those sovereigns had been tricked into the leftmost passage, which was the only one covered with footprints. As for the other six passages, they couldn't find any traces or auras.
Standing outside the passage, Xu Que couldn't help but frown as he stared at the other six passages.
His intuition told him that these six passages were all very dangerous, and they were even more terrifying than the one on the leftmost. It seemed as if once he stepped into it, he would be killed in a horrible way.
As for the leftmost entrance, which was where the group of prodigies had been tricked into, it was the safest out of the seven paths. Although there was a sense of unease, this feeling was far less serious than the other six paths!
Most importantly, this passageway still had traces of Buttface and Duan Jiude's auras, which were not present in the other six passageways.
"It seems like there's something strange about this passage!" Xu Que squinted his eyes.
He was sure that Buttface and Duan Jiude had really entered through this passage. However, after entering, the two of them might have used some kind of technique or entered a hidden fork in the passage. That was why they weren't teleported to the altar. Instead, they directly arrived at the other side of the altar and watched the show while eating hotpot.
"Elder Xu, do you want to continue on this path?" Bai Cailing asked as she walked up to Xu Que at this time.
She had figured out that this was the only path they could take. The other six paths were quite uncertain, and they could kill all of them at any time. Therefore, it was better for them to continue on the path they had taken before.
However, it seemed that this path was not easy to take. If they didn't know the way, they would be sent to the altar and involved in the battle inexplicably, just like Yi Zhong and the other cultivators.
Of course, they also had an advantage!
Once they went in, Buttface would recognize them, and he would probably rescue them and send them out.
"Let's go here," Xu Que said calmly. "According to the cultivators, we won't be teleported to the battlefield, but to the edge of the altar. However, we will still be affected by the Evil Qi. If you can't stop the Evil Qi from entering your bodies, I don't suggest you go in together!" He had the demeanor of a reclusive, powerful cultivator.
This was a bit different from his current cultivation stage and his sickly look. Therefore, for the people of the Jade Lake, Xu Que's words were a bit harsh!
Although they respected Xu Que, they couldn't ignore the gap between their strength! As a patient at the Half Celestial Stage, you dare to enter the altar. But you are advising cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage, the Heaven Celestial Stage, and the Golden Celestial Stage not to enter the altar! This is ridiculous!
Moreover, it is not difficult to stop the Evil Qi from entering your bodies. As long as you know it in advance and take precautions, you will be safe!
The female apprentices of the Jade Lake shook their heads with a smile. Out of respect for Xu Que, they didn't say anything and pretended that Xu Que hadn't said anything just now.
Bai Cailing said with a wry smile. Then, she made a gesture of invitation, "Elder Xu, let's go in together!"
"OK!" Xu Que nodded his head and stepped forward.
Bai Cailing walked shoulder to shoulder with him, followed by several guardians at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage. More than ten apprentices at the Earth Celestial Stage and the Heaven Celestial Stage of the Jade Lake also followed them cautiously.
However, when they stepped into the passage, they were greeted by a gust of chilly wind. The air was filled with the smell of fresh and ancient blood!
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground under their feet started to shake. Then, a great traction force swept over from all directions and engulfed Xu Que and his teammates. Then, they were sucked into the void and disappeared in the passage instantly.
"Sh * t!"
Xu Que couldn't help but curse in his heart when he was teleported.
At this moment, he realized that the walls of this passage were all parts of the Teleportation Device. There were no forks in the Teleportation Device.
Buttface and Duan Jiude must have carried something like a key with them, which could change the direction of the Teleportation Device. That was why they could reach the other side of the Teleportation Device by jumping over the altar.
However, it was useless for them to find out the truth. After the darkness disappeared, their vision became clear again. They found they were standing on the edge of a giant altar.
As far as the eye could see, a few tens of figures were locked in battle at the center of the sacrificial altar, and they were locked in a fierce battle. Techniques interweaved together while radiance blazed, and the entire sacrificial altar rumbled and trembled!
The ground was covered with blood. Dozens of corpses were lying in pools of blood. It was a tragic scene.
"Oh, no! Buttface and his teammates have left!" Bai Cailing said in a low voice at this time.
Hearing that, Xu Que looked at the other side of the altar. There was only a pile of leftover food and a big pot. However, Buttface and Duan Jiude were nowhere to be seen. Apparently, they had left.
This was not good news for the crowd.
Originally, they had planned to ask Buttface to take them to the other side of the Teleportation Device. However, Buttface and Duan Jiude had left. Now, they were in the same situation as the sovereigns who were involved in the fight.
Even if they could resist the Evil Qi and didn't go crazy to fight with other sovereigns, they couldn't stop other sovereigns who were affected by the Evil Qi from attacking them.
"What? No! Why is the Evil Qi in this place so strong? I feel I can't resist it! "Suddenly, a female apprentice shouted in surprise.
Thanks to the warnings of the cultivators from before, they were already on guard when they entered. Some of the disciples even took out their magical items to protect themselves. However, when they reached the altar, they still felt restless inside of them, and some of the evil energy still seeped into them.
"There's something wrong with this place!" A guardian at the Golden Celestial Stage said in a deep voice.
Apparently, even cultivators at the Golden Celestial Stage couldn't avoid the Evil Qi invading their bodies.
Even though the Evil Qi wouldn't affect their sanity now, it would affect them sooner or later. If they continued to stay here, the Evil Qi in their bodies would increase gradually. In the end, they would be in an irritable state and lose control of themselves.
"As expected of the Ancient Battlefield! The Evil Qi comes from the remnant soul of that deity. After the remnant soul was torn apart, the Evil Qi he had before his death was released. It's quite difficult to resist it!" Xu Que said calmly, squinting his eyes at this time.
The name of the Ancient Battlefield of Divinities was not made up casually. The reason why this place had become a battlefield was that deities had fought to the death here. Every deity had died in a great battle. Naturally, the Evil Qi was very violent. How could a cultivator at the Golden Celestial Stage resist it?
"Elder Xu, you should step back first. Don't stand too close to the front!" Bai Cailing said seriously.
She was aware of the seriousness of the situation. While they were still rational, she could only ask Xu Que to retreat to the edge so that he wouldn't be involved in the battle. However, she also knew that doing so was superfluous and unnecessary.
This Elder Xu was the weakest among them. If one were to say who was in the most violent state, it would be this Elder Xu!
Therefore, Bai Cailing asked him to step back because she wanted him to stay away from them. Otherwise, if he lost his mind and attacked the members of the Jade Lake, the Jade Lake would have to fight back. At that time, they would be in a difficult situation.
"Don't worry! This Evil Qi is nothing to me!" However, Xu Que said calmly with a smile at this time.
His words shocked everyone. After checking Xu Que's status, they widened their eyes in disbelief.
"How … could this be?"
"I didn't expect Elder Xu could resist all the Evil Qi!"
"Elder Xu, how … did you do that? Why did the Evil Qi avoid you when it was close to you? "
The apprentices of the Jade Lake shouted in surprise.
Bai Cailing and the guardians at the Golden Celestial Stage also looked at Xu Que in surprise. They were quite confused. This kind of phenomenon didn't make sense. How could the Evil Qi avoid a sickly old man at the Half-Celestial Stage?
"Heh, heh!"
At this time, Xu Que smiled gently. He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Then he said with a gentle smile, "The reason why the Evil Qi can affect you is that there is a devil in your heart, which is not pure enough. If you can be as peaceful as me, without any devil in your heart, the Evil Qi will lose its effect!"
No devils in your hearts?
How could this be possible?
Even deities couldn't be completely free of devils. Even the Buddhas of the Buddhist Sects cultivated the Six Senses of Tranquility. However, everyone knew it was impossible for the Six Senses of Tranquility to be completely pure. As long as there was a trace of impurity, the Six Senses of Tranquility would be affected by the Evil Qi.
Could it be that this Elder Xu is a Sage since he is so peaceful?
"I've taught Xu Que to be a man like me in the future, who has no devils and stands aloof from worldly affairs, like a pure lotus in the mud. It's a pity that there is no one like me in this world. It's really difficult for you to be like me in the mud. So, don't be sad and continue to work hard!" Xu Que comforted the onlookers with an enigmatic expression at this time.
The onlookers were stunned by his words and felt something was wrong!
This is impossible! When Yi Zhong was possessed by Xu Que, this Elder Xu was so irascible and even beat Yi Zhong up. How could a man like him have no devils? How could he be like him in the mud?
"What?"
At this time, it seemed Bai Cailing had discovered something. She looked at Xu Que's chest and said with a smile, "Elder Xu, can I have a look at the dozens of Buddha beads and necklaces with Buddha amulets?"
