The fact that Pavilion Master You Tianlin had come in person showed just how extraordinary this Cleansing Ceremony was.
"Middle-level Heaven Splitting Realm!"
Su Mo's eyes flashed as he thought.
This pavilion master was at the middle-level of the Heaven Splitting Realm, and his strength far surpassed those pavilion masters.
You Tianlin led the twenty Pavilion Venerables and stopped a hundred feet above the plaza. He looked around the plaza and spoke in a loud voice.
"Pavilion members, in these years, our Eighth Soul Pavilion has developed rapidly. Genius Pavilions have emerged one after another. However, most of the Pavilions live in a greenhouse and lack the experience of life and death battles. They do not have any sense of danger."
Pavilion Lord You Tianlin's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the Pavilion Lords one by one. "There are more than six hundred traitors in this Cleansing Ceremony. These traitors are from the Snow Tribe, the Night God Tribe, the Yao Tribe, the Martial Tribe, and dozens of other tribes. Every traitor is an elite of their tribe, and they are all extremely powerful."
Everyone listened quietly. There was not the slightest noise.
You Tianlin continued, "The same rules apply. Every pavilion master will have one chance to fight against someone of the same cultivation level. The Heavenly Soul Pavilion will have one more chance. If you kill a traitor, you will be rewarded with a Void Soul Pill of Nine Revolutions. If you are defeated by a traitor, you will forfeit a hundred years of resources and have your soul refined in a Soul Refining Cauldron for ten years. Thus, pavilion masters who are not confident in their abilities can choose not to fight during this Cleansing Ceremony."
The gazes of the hundreds of thousands of pavilion disciples shone brightly. They looked forward to obtaining the Nine Revolutions Void Soul Pill, but they were also afraid of the punishment that failure would bring.
The Nine Revolutions Void Soul Elixir was a top-notch elixir for the Soul Race below the Heaven Splitting Realm and above the Creation Realm. It was extremely precious.
If an early-stage Creation Realm cultivator consumed a Nine Revolutions Void Soul Pill, as long as their nomological attainments kept up, they could basically break through immediately.
The higher one's cultivation level, the lower the effects would be. Even so, there would still be some effects even if one was at the high extreme of the Dao Realm.
Of course, the penalty for failure in every Defiance Cleansing Ritual was rather heavy.
As a result, even though the rewards were generous, most people did not participate in the Rebellion Cleansing Ceremony. Otherwise, a mere few hundred traitors would not be enough for the tens of thousands of pavilions.
"Nine-turn Void Soul Elixir?"
Su Mo searched through Di Hong's memories and immediately knew that this elixir was extraordinary.
If he could obtain this pill, he would be able to openly raise his cultivation again.
Furthermore, he was a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, so he had two chances to act. If he killed the two traitors, he would be able to obtain two Nine Turn Void Soul Pills.
However, the awkward thing was that he couldn't unleash the normal might of his nomological powers. Even though he had cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Raging Fire and the Thousand Souls Legion, his battle prowess wasn't the best amongst his peers.
According to Su Mo's estimation, he was unable to display the power of the rules and ways. His current strength could only be considered above average among those of the same rank.
With this level of strength, if he were to face a top-notch existence in the same realm, he would undoubtedly lose.
Therefore, he did not have any expectations for the Reverse Purification Ritual. Although the Nine Revolutions Void Soul Pill was good, he would not take the risk.
He only hoped that no one from the Primeval Beginning World would appear in this sacrifice, especially someone he knew.
"Now, everyone, follow this Pavilion Master to the dimensional space!"
After explaining the matters to take note of during the Cleansing Ceremony, Pavilion Master You Tianlin raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
In an instant, the sky was filled with light and a huge light maelstrom quickly formed, forming a large Space Tunnel.
Pavilion Master You Tianlin leaped up and entered the Space Tunnel.
"Hurry up and follow me!"
"Everyone, enter the tunnel in an orderly manner!"
"The Space Tunnel will last for a hundred breaths of time, there is no need to fight for it!"
Pavilion Master Wu Yi and the other 20 Pavilion Masters warned the group of Pavilion Masters before they followed the Pavilion Master and entered the Space Tunnel.
With that, the tens of thousands of Pavilion Masters also entered the Space Tunnel in an orderly manner.
Su Mo, Ying Rong, and the rest entered the Space Tunnel together.
The tunnel was very short. In a mere five breaths of time, the tens of thousands of Pavilion Masters followed the Pavilion Masters and descended into a dimensional space.
The dimensional space wasn't a real Small Dimension World. There wasn't any substance in it and it was just an empty space. It was probably an independent space that had been temporarily opened up.
At that moment, in this dimensional space, there were already five large arrays set up.
Each array was a circular array with a diameter of ten thousand feet. It was as though there were five large circular paintings laid parallel to the ground.
Below the array, there were five glowing jade stones. It was evident that these jade stones were the source of power that supported the array.
Su Mo carefully sized up the five arrays. Shocking Soul Power fluctuations emanated from the five arrays, but they were very calm.
"What array is this?"
Su Mo asked the few Pavilion Masters beside him. These people were the Pavilion Masters that were trying to curry favor with him.
"Brother Bai Yan, this is the 'Unite and Line Soul Array'. It can trap the foreign tribes and prevent them from escaping the area of the array. It can also absorb the energy that is dissipated. The main thing is that the Soul Tribesmen are not affected by the array." Someone immediately answered.
"I see!" Su Mo nodded slightly.
At that moment, all the Pavilion Masters had already arrived at the dimensional space. Those who had participated in the previous Cleansing Ceremony dispersed and surrounded the five large arrays.
The five large arrays were just enough for the tens of thousands of Pavilion Masters to form an entire circle and it didn't seem crowded.
At that moment, Pavilion Master You Tianlin and the twenty Pavilion Masters flew to the top of the array, a few thousand feet above the array.
"Now, the Cleansing Ceremony officially begins!"
You Tianlin shouted loudly. Immediately after, he waved his sleeve and five rays of light flashed. Five figures landed on the five arrays.
Su Mo took a closer look. The five of them were from a foreign tribe. There were four males and one female. They were a Martial Clan, a Demon Clan, a Goblin Clan, a Night God Clan, and a foreign tribe that he had never seen before.
The five of them had completely different cultivation ranks. The lowest was at the Initial Creation Realm while the highest was at the Extreme Middle Dao Realm.
When the five of them appeared, they seemed to be a little stunned. They looked around blankly and when they saw the situation, their faces were all complicated.
They knew where they were. When they were brought here, they had already been told that they would be the sacrificial offerings for the Cleansing Ceremony.
At the same time, they knew that since they were here, they could not lose. If they lost, there would only be one outcome, and that was death.
If they won, they would have a chance to live.
This was the rule of the Soul Tribe. As long as they won, they would be able to live if someone from the Soul Pavilion that they defeated was willing to take them as a slave.
This chance was very slim and the outcome would be very tragic. First of all, if they wanted to win, not only did they have to defeat one person, they had to withstand the Soul Pavilion's continuous attacks and obtain the final victory.
Secondly, those defeated Soul Pavilion's disciples had to be willing to take them as slaves.
Moreover, even if there was someone who was willing to take them as slaves, as a slave who had defeated their master before, one could imagine what they would have to face in the future.
Of course, there was a prerequisite. They could not kill any Soul Tribe member during the Cleansing Ceremony. Otherwise, there would be no next round and they would be immediately sentenced to death.
However, this Cleansing Ceremony was ultimately an opportunity. The Soul Tribe did not completely block off all paths.
