Luo Nan's consciousness sunk into the Wraith Sign's body, observing the parasitic Bloodsoul Temple. Its towering structure seemed to be a lonely peak formed from cooling lava that spewed out from underground. There was also fiery red lava that flowed along the mountain cracks and holes.
Outside of this lonely peak, the element of chaos was like thunderclouds and turbid mist. It spread in all directions, surrounding the Bloodsoul Temple. Occasionally, clouds and mist would cover the mountain, and even purple lightning and dark thunder would rumble and crush down. It made this place seem like a demonic mountain in the depths of hell. It was bizarre, strange, and frightening.
This was the Human-Faced Arachnid's power of chaos. It was a counter to the Bloodsoul Temple. If this were not the case, Luo Nan would find it hard to discover the special traces hidden deep within the complex structure of the Bloodsoul Temple.
"Here, here, and there... One, two, three, four. The numbers match. It can't be a coincidence."
The construction of the Bloodsoul Temple required the realization of the 2120 steps of the Path of Bloodfire. There were six stages and five buildings. Four and a half of the related buildings had been completed. They were all built against the mountain, gradually growing taller.
The imprint that Luo Nan discovered was located in the second stage of the building from the bottom up. This place was like an exquisitely arranged courtyard garden. It was semi-open, with a complex structure and many paths. There was also a river of magma that flowed over. It had a very artificial tendency to complicate a simple problem.
Four specks of deep red fireflies wandered in this garden. They were very eye-catching even when floating above the stream of magma. Occasionally, they would be stimulated by the descending mist and mist. They were quite lively.
Luo Nan felt a familiar scent from these four dots of firefly light. He had been in contact with the core members of the Bloodflame Order of Xia City through the Wraith Sign over the past month. He felt all sorts of details and information at close range. This familiarity came into play right now.
One master, two assistants, three First Oblatums, and Mo Lun, who was engaged in a life and death battle. There were four Shepherds. So the imprints left behind by the Shepherds in the Bloodsoul Temple looked like this... They were like fireflies.
Of course, this didn't mean that the Shepherd imprints were glowing bugs. It was just that Luo Nan's current clairvoyance was more or less interfered with by the power of the Bloodsoul Temple. He couldn't see the most subtle details clearly. He could only obtain a rough impression for now.
"The total matches. There's also this one. It looks especially jumpy."
He quickly changed his perspective and looked at the material plane.
From Luo Nan's perspective, the current situation was very close to the most ideal state. Mo Lun was struggling with all his might, Tian Bang was focused on controlling the situation, and the minds of the others were attracted by the intense battle. The situation was extremely chaotic. Lady Halder and the other related people were far away, drifting about outside. It was hard for them to grasp the actual situation. They completely fulfilled the requirements of fishing in troubled waters.
There was only one point. The traitor, Ren Hong, had always maintained a high degree of attention towards the Human-Faced Arachnid. He was also extremely sensitive. The moment the Shepherd's Mark was disturbed, he had sensed it. He had even formed a seal and tried to reverse control it. He was still trying to regain control of the Bloodsoul Temple.
This was an eyesore.
Luo Nan's gaze pierced through the distance of several dozen kilometers to fall on Ren Hong's body. Subconsciously, he reached out his hand. He was no longer satisfied with simply sensing with his spirit. He wanted to push aside the thunderclouds and turbid fog in the Magic Sign's body and do something more precise.
This hand did not extend down, but Luo Nan's will had already cut into the range of the Bloodsoul Temple along with the cloud of chaotic element.
Luo Nan aimed at the four fireflies within the courtyard garden on the second floor. However, in reality, he took a detour to avoid a direct collision with the power of the Bloodsoul Temple. He seeped in from the bottommost region.
Currently, the Bloodsoul Temple was a four-story building that had completely taken shape. The bottommost region was also the crudest region. It was a forest of jagged rocks. At first glance, it looked natural. There were only a few piles of rocks gathered together in the center. They were arranged in a tidy manner, and their positions were quite meticulous. Simple and unadorned runes were engraved on them. Overall, it looked a bit like a primitive sacrificial offering.
However, this region was extremely important to the Bloodsoul Temple. The seemingly natural stone forest was endlessly absorbing impurities from the surrounding thunderclouds and turbid fog. This was the beginning of the transformation from chaos to order in the Bloodsoul Temple.
At present, this transformation could not be considered fast. Large amounts of impurities and chaotic element were deposited here. They were suppressed by the primitive altar within the stone forest, sinking into the region below … This was the location of the Infernal Inferno before the Bloodsoul Temple was formed. A large amount of chaotic element was suppressed here. Under a special operating mechanism, the chaotic element was transformed into a surging magma lake. It was purified anew and then sent out under high pressure to become the source of flowing lava on the mountain of the Bloodsoul Temple.
Luo Nan's mind circled around the magma lake. It followed the order of the Bloodsoul Temple and was sent up to the peak region by high pressure from the internal passageway. It spun around a bit and then meandered down along the external river. It circled around the various regions of the Bloodsoul Temple before returning to the magma lake.
"Oh, so this is the process."
Luo Nan roughly understood the basic steps of the Bloodsoul Temple's continuous growth. The first step was to absorb impurities and compress the magma. The second step was to spray the magma with high pressure and send it to the peak. The third step was naturally to take shape layer by layer. However, there was no method in the current stage of taking shape at the peak. A large amount of energy was wasted in vain. Presumably, this was due to the absence of a Shepherd.
In this case, the Shepherds on duty, like Mo Lun and Yin Le, aside from helping the Human-Faced Arachnid find food, were most likely in the control of the taking shape method. Ren Hong had probably fought for this kind of authority before.
Now he turned his head to look at the four Shepherd Marks in the courtyard garden on the second floor. Naturally, he had a different feeling.
His mind traveled back and forth. It was extremely fast. Even if he followed the order of the Bloodsoul Temple, it would only take a blink of an eye for him to travel around. This experience was greatly beneficial for him to gain a deeper understanding of the Bloodsoul Temple. He did not have this opportunity when Mo Lun, Yin Le, and the other Shepherds were in place.
Since this was the case, Luo Nan was not in a hurry to act. He just immersed his mind into the magma and traveled around the Bloodsoul Temple again and again. Due to the complex structure of the mountain, the flow path was subtly different each time.
Luo Nan was like running and drifting around the mountain. As the number of times he traveled increased, he became more and more familiar with each path. His understanding of the mountain, the layout of the buildings, and the operation of the related rules became clearer and clearer.
He was already certain that of the four and a half buildings, half of them was the altar at the peak. The fourth floor was a group of temples and halls. The third floor was a cave carved into the mountain. The bottom floor was a courtyard garden, a stone forest, and a lake of magma.
Every building possessed a special operation method and function. Some were clear and direct. Some were very obscure. In the end, Luo Nan was still an outsider. He was unable to directly interfere with the Bloodsoul Temple. There were many things that he could not see clearly.
This was nothing. It was fine as long as it was effective against the Shepherd Imprint … … Luo Nan could now confirm that the Shepherd Imprint that remained on the second level was similar to a soul clone. It existed on the mental plane and the special space of the Bloodsoul Temple.
