"What are they doing?" A disciple from the Immortal World frowned.
"Use your eyes, not your mouth. Don't speak!" Elder Zhao said softly.
Everyone nodded their heads with a weird expression.
Under the lead of the old eunuch, they stood at the edge of the area and waited quietly.
Zhong Shan stood at the edge and looked at the center of the square. There was a round jade platform that was glowing with yellow light. Looking at the yellow light, Zhong Shan felt a sense of déjà vu. What is this yellow light?
Luck? Yes, it really looks like luck.
Sorrowful Green Silk stood beside Zhong Shan. Not sure if it was because of the Basin of Starry Sky that night, but Sorrowful Green Silk unconsciously stood in front of Zhong Shan.
Everyone waited quietly. The inside of the square was incomparably strange. It was filled with the smell of death.
They waited until midnight, when the moon should be hanging in the sky.
Finally, a group of people walked in from the original entrance.
The leader wore a flat imperial crown on his head and a dragon robe on his body. His face exuded a domineering aura. The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty!
"Greetings, Master!" A group of people greeted respectfully from afar.
Master?
The others panicked and immediately greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Master."
The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty ignored them and continued to walk towards the round jade platform in the center.
The people who came with the emperor of the Jin Dynasty stopped at the exit. They waved their hands and a piece of Dragon Breaking Stone fell down, blocking the exit. Then, they cast a few spells, and the surrounding stone walls suddenly became colorful. Hundreds of lights flowed out, and an isolated formation was formed.
The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty walked to the jade platform and looked at everyone coldly.
"Thank you for your hard work!" The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty said in a deep voice.
"It's our honor to work for Master." Everyone said immediately.
"Mm!" The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty nodded and did not want to talk to his subordinates anymore.
The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty waved his sleeve.
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from below the jade platform. The dragon's roar seemed to contain a sense of pain.
Following the dragon's roar, the jade platform suddenly shone with a yellow light.
"@ # ¥% …&* * (() * # ¥% …"
The Jin Emperor suddenly chanted an incomprehensible incantation. His voice was filled with an evil intent. His sleeves constantly fluttered as if he was using some sort of grand technique.
"Wa ~ ~ ~ ~ Wa ~ ~ ~ Wa ~ ~ ~ Wa ~ ~ ~ Wa ~ ~ ~"
In the pool where the dead babies were piled up, the sound of countless babies crying suddenly resounded. The babies were clearly dead, but the sound of crying in the pile of maggot-filled corpses made everyone unconsciously feel the hair on their backs stand up.
At first, the baby's cries only came from the pool, but then, it spread out in all directions. The entire underground space was filled with the endless cries of babies. The cries seemed to be right next to everyone's ears, but at the same time, it was as if there were babies crying on everyone's shoulders. It was incomparably terrifying.
"@ # ¥% …&* * (() * # ¥% …"
The incantation was still being chanted. After the baby's cry, countless ghosts suddenly shot out from the pool in the Soul Searching Stone. Everyone actually saw green ghosts in this specific environment. Countless ghosts seemed to be squeezed out of the Soul Searching Stone in an instant. Suddenly, the entire interior was filled with ghosts. The ghosts suddenly burst out and filled the interior space. Everyone saw that the ghosts with faces of pain were even right in front of them, sticking close to them.
The scene became extremely terrifying.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Wuwu ~ ~ ~ ~"
…
…
Countless ghosts cried out in pain, their faces twisting as if they could feel their own destruction coming. They were filled with incomparable terror as they cried out in heart-wrenching pain.
If an unprepared person had come in, they would have been scared silly on the spot.
The Avici Hell. This underground space was just like the Avici Hell.
Everyone also saw that the pool filled with human hearts in the distance was emitting a bright red light.
"Peng ~ ~ ~ Peng ~ ~ ~ Peng ~ ~ ~ Peng ~ ~ ~"
It was as if all the hearts were beating, providing powerful energy to the Great Jin Emperor. Red light, green light, cries, the entire altar was incomparably evil.
"@ # ¥% …&* * (() * # ¥% …"
The Great Jin Emperor was still chanting the incantation. The Earth Trench runes below were already filled with blood, emitting a dark red light. The yellow jade platform in the distance shone with a bright yellow light. Suddenly, a strong suction force seemed to be generated from the yellow jade platform.
The ghosts in the surroundings were sucked in one after another. The ghosts tried to escape in pain, but they could not escape the yellow jade platform's capture no matter how hard they tried. They were sucked away one after another, revealing an expression of endless fear.
The evil sacrificial ceremony caused the sky above the Great Jin Empire to suddenly turn extremely red. The red evil aura, evil aura, and evil aura intertwined, causing the people in the city to look up at the sky. What was going on?
At the edge of the altar, Mr. Shi had been squinting his eyes, as if he had thought of something. He also seemed to be waiting for something.
Zhong Shan looked around. Everyone around him swallowed their saliva, revealing a look of horror. Although they had embarked on the path of cultivation, when had they ever seen such an evil scene? Even the powerhouses of the Realm of Immortals, who had seen many things, revealed a look of horror.
No one acted rashly. Instead, they all looked at the jade platform in the center. Through the transparent green bodies of the endless souls, they looked at the jade platform in front of the Great Jin Emperor.
The yellow jade platform under the Great Jin Emperor's feet, which originally had countless runes above it, was now jumping strangely.
It jumped faster and faster. Then, it gradually squeezed towards the center.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, a small crack seemed to have appeared on the jade platform. From the crack, a green plant slowly emerged.
No, the plant seemed to be illusory yet real. It did not seem like a real plant. It seemed to be completely driven by the evil energy inside.
It was a small sapling. The sapling grew bigger and bigger. More and more ghosts and evil aura gathered, and the yellow light under the yellow jade platform poured in. The sapling grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a two-meter-tall tree.
It was a tree species that Zhong Shan had never seen before.
Mr. Shi, who was at the side, opened his eyes wide. As if he knew this tree, his eyes were full of shock.
The ghosts kept gathering towards the tree. In a short while, the number of ghosts had decreased by almost one-third.
The green tree was still absorbing the evil energy around it. The ghosts' cries became louder and more fearful.
Suddenly, a faint yellow flower emerged from the green tree.
Seeing the yellow flower, Zhong Shan was slightly surprised. Was it going to bloom and bear fruit?
Just as Zhong Shan thought, a fruit gradually emerged from the roots of the beautiful yellow flower. As the tree continued to absorb the evil energy, the fruit was also growing rapidly.
The yellow energy on the jade platform below seemed to be constantly being sucked dry.
At the same time, the people outside looked at the sky above the Great Jin Empire with a strange expression. Because in the sky above the Great Jin Empire, the originally rolling golden luck disappeared. What replaced it was an increasingly red evil aura, an aura of death, and an evil aura.
Boom ~ ~ ~ ~
It was as if the heavens did not allow this evil energy to be born. Gradually, a large number of thunderclouds gathered.
What was going on? Where was His Majesty? Where was the luck of the Great Jin Empire?
At the edge of the underground altar, Zhong Shan's eyes were already wide open. What did Zhong Shan see?
A ginseng fruit?
Zhong Shan rubbed his eyes. In the center of the altar, on the tree nourished by the luck, ghosts, and evil aura, the flowers withered, revealing a purple fruit that was growing bigger and bigger.
The shape of the fruit was that of a baby. It was vivid and lifelike, sitting cross-legged. It was exactly the same as the ginseng fruit in Zhong Shan's memory. That was only a novel he read when he was young. In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang passed by the Wuzhuang Temple on his journey to the West. It was a spiritual plant of heaven and earth that was planted by the Great Deity Zhen Yuan. This was the ginseng fruit.
This, this was the ginseng fruit?
No, Zhong Shan realized that the fruit was in the shape of a baby, but the baby's mouth curved into a sinister smile. The whole fruit seemed to be filled with an infinite sense of evil.
When the human-shaped fruit grew to the size of a fist, all the ghosts on the altar had been sucked away. Moreover, the cries of the baby gradually disappeared. Only the small pool where the heart was placed still emitted some red light.
The yellow light below the jade platform also seemed to have dimmed a lot.
The Great Jin Emperor looked around and said coldly, "Kill!"
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
A group of people immediately grabbed their weapons and charged towards the other groups.
"Oh no, Master wants to kill us!" Elder Zhao's heart tightened as he exclaimed.
"They are Master's men of sacrifice!" Another person exclaimed.
"Peng ~ ~ ~ ~"
One of them was instantly killed by a huge saber aura. The corpse fell into the trench, which was on top of the altar. Red energy floated out of the trench and covered the corpse like termites. When it returned to the trench, the corpse from before had become a pile of bones. All the energy had been sucked away by the altar.
Zhong Shan made a visual estimate. The Great Jin Emperor had seven thousand men of sacrifice, but there were only three thousand people who came to watch the ceremony.
The 3,000 cultivators fearfully fought with the deathsworn warriors. No matter who died, their flesh, blood, and soul would be turned into energy for the altar. Some of the cultivators attacked the walls in fear, wanting to escape. However, the walls were incomparably sturdy and they could not break through.
More and more people died! The human-shaped fruit also slowly emitted a five-colored radiance.
The Great Jin Emperor looked at the fruit in front of him with great satisfaction. It was almost ripe. Just a little more. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
