Half an hour before midnight, Jian Qianxiong, accompanied by over fifty high-ranking mbers who had been sitting in silence for two hours in the first layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, ascended to the Ninth Layer Altar of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
There’s truth in the saying: old ginger is hotter.
Jian Qianxiong had preemptively spoken of the significance of this divine sacrifice. After announcing it, he directly led the senior mbers of the Divine Sect to this secluded location at the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
After all, among these fifty or so high-ranking mbers of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, no one could guarantee there wasn’t a traitor within. Such precautions eliminated any possibility of leaked information.
The Ninth Layer Altar is extrely vast; even with fifty people spread throughout it, it still felt empty.
Yet, looking at the colossal divine statue, everyone felt a sense of anticipation, including the two Supre Elders.
"During the divine sacrifice, there shall be no movent, no speaking, no panic, and certainly no clamor!"
"During the divine sacrifice, you must remain devout and contemplative to receive heavenly blessings. When blessings enter your body, silently cultivate and refine them!"
"The amount of blessing received is a result of personal destiny and your dedication to the Divine Sect. If you receive much, do not celebrate prematurely but persevere and strive further! If you receive little, reflect on your faults, correct them, and await next ti!"
....
Listening to the rules announced by Jian Qianxiong, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
This sect leader is truly remarkable; he uses even a divine sacrifice to strengthen the sect mbers’ beliefs, enhancing their loyalty to the Divine Sect.
If these attendees knew the little tricks Jian Qianxiong had taught Ye Zhen before, one wonders what they would think?
"The ti is near. Moon Envoy, prepare the offerings!"
With a loud call from Jian Qianxiong, Ye Zhen, having been pre-instructed, reverently picked up the jade tray before him, which held three storage rings, one of which was especially striking.
That one was the High Grade Spirit Ring containing the Earth Core Crimson Fire Drill!
It was also the only High Grade Spirit Ring within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Holding the jade plate, Ye Zhen stepped slowly onto the moon-white Moon Disk, and the instant his feet touched it, an inexplicable connection to the Sun and Moon Divine Altar suddenly erged.
With a soft whoosh, a glowing beam shot out from the back of Jian Qianxiong’s head, it was the Sun and Moon Divine Light Pearl, separating colors of yin and yang.
Intense divine light blossod in Jian Qianxiong’s eyes, a substantial three-colored Innate Soul Light was directed straight into the Sun and Moon Divine Light Pearl.
This act of infusing Innate Soul Light lasted nearly a hundred breaths. When Ye Zhen felt Jian Qianxiong’s Divine Soul Power was almost exhausted, a golden and white glow suddenly shot up from the Sun and Moon Divine Light Pearl, straight towards the altar’s top!
The gazes of everyone followed the direction of the golden and white light beams.
Silently, the top of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar opened up, and the Sun and Moon Divine Light Pearl floated above the divine statue’s head, with the golden and white light beams piercing into the heavenly sky like unseen pillars.
Such a vivid anomaly made Ye Zhen ponder—since it appeared in Qinglan Martial City, would it attract the attention of the other three major powers?
"Don’t worry, the Sun and Moon Divine Altar has mystical qualities. Only those within the altar can witness this spectacle; it cannot be seen outside!"
Jian Qianxiong, as if seeing through Ye Zhen’s thoughts, transmitted a ssage through Divine Sense.
"What cos next?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Wait, the midnight is approaching!"
Everyone waited silently. After more than a hundred breaths, when the nearby sand clock started timing the next period,
a river-like moon-white glow suddenly poured down from the sky, an overwhelming pressure like a hamr struck upon everyone’s heads!
In the midst of the thumping sounds, over fifty high-ranking mbers of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect involuntarily fell to their knees, including the two Supre Elders Nian Sijing and Cai Xingchang, succumbed to this pressure, kneeling, except for Ye Zhen and sect leader Jian Qianxiong!
In fact, when the pressure ca, Ye Zhen also felt imnse stress, but the Moon Disk underfoot transmitted an inexplicable aura, calming Ye Zhen to the point where he was nearly unaffected by the pressure!
With the infusion of moon-white radiance, the towering Sun and Moon God Monarch’s divine statue lit up from inside out, coming to life, exuding boundless majesty!
Whoosh!
Another golden beam radiating a gentle aura descended from the sky, once more entering the Sun and Moon God Monarch’s divine statue, adding a sense of grandeur, making it less cold and frightening than before.
The divine statue’s light beca indescribably pale gold.
"The True Profound Continent descendants of the Divine Monarch Ye Zhen and Moon and Sun Divine Sect with Jian Qianxiong respectfully lead a group of sect mbers in salutation, wishing the Divine Monarch eternal life and everlasting prestige..."
Jian Qianxiong stood on the Sun Plate, reciting the sacrificial prayer with utmost reverence, infusing Divine Soul Power as he spoke.
Ye Zhen was astonished to find that each sacrificial prayer uttered by Jian Qianxiong manifested tangibly, flying into the Sun and Moon God Monarch’s divine statue, now transford into pale gold!
"In celebration of the Monarch, we diligently prepared a batch of gifts, offering them with respect, inviting the Monarch to enjoy!"
As Jian Qianxiong spoke the last word, the Sun and Moon God Monarch’s divine statue’s eyes suddenly opened, projecting a sheet of golden light onto the ground, shaping into an altar.
The mont the altar of golden light was projected, Ye Zhen’s expression changed, not out of astonishnt but because the Mirage Dragon Pearl within him stirred slightly at that instant.
"Ye Assistant Priest, the altar is open, present the offerings!" Jian Qianxiong’s voice rang out.
With a solemn expression, Ye Zhen, following Jian Qianxiong’s instructions, did not leave the Moon Disk. Instead, he controlled the central storage ring with his Divine Sense, allowing it to slowly float into the golden altar. With a thought, he opened the High Grade Spirit Ring, releasing the four Earth Core Crimson Fire Drills stored inside, into the golden altar.
An astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
The mont the four Earth Core Crimson Fire Drills fell into the golden altar projected by the divine statue’s eyes, the golden altar fluctuated and then inexplicably vanished.
Vanished into thin air!
Even though Jian Qianxiong had warned about this earlier, witnessing it firsthand still left Ye Zhen extrely shocked!
However, this didn’t prevent Ye Zhen from continuing to carry out his duties.
With a thought, he poured out the offerings stored in the other two storage rings one by one.
It must be said that Jian Qianxiong prepared exceptionally rich offerings this ti.
Piles of incredibly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures fell, along with over a hundred kinds of Spiritual dicines rarely seen in the market, each with an age of over a thousand years.
Besides this, there were large quantities of High Grade Spirit Crystals, High Grade Attribute Spirit Crystals, etc. According to Jian Qianxiong, this year, because Ye Zhen presented four Earth Core Crimson Fire Drills, otherwise, the number of High Grade Spirit Crystals offered would have at least doubled!
Magic happened as Ye Zhen poured the offerings. Regardless of the speed at which Ye Zhen poured them, as soon as the golden altar fluctuated slightly, everything would disappear.
This continued for half a quarter-hour, followed by quiet waiting, peaceful waiting!
Approximately fifteen minutes later, the divine statue and golden altar simultaneously fluctuated.
In the next instant, a torrent of misty fog surged from the golden altar, instantly filling the entire Ninth Layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
"The Divine Monarch’s grace has arrived, everyone enjoy the Divine Monarch’s blessing!"
Almost simultaneously with Jian Qianxiong’s words, both the golden Sun Plate and moon-white Moon Plate emitted a circle of hazy light. In an instant, half of the misty fog flowing from the golden altar was directed towards the Sun Plate and Moon Plate.
As it neared, this portion of misty fog split into two, with four-tenths moving towards the Sun Plate, entering Jian Qianxiong’s body, and one-tenth flowing into the Moon Plate, directly entering Ye Zhen’s body from the sole of his foot.
The mont the misty fog entered Ye Zhen’s body, every cell, each bloodline, every bone in his body instinctively rejoiced.
Both inside and outside his body, there was a warm welco for this power!
This left Ye Zhen astonished. Before he could act, his body autonomously began absorbing the misty fog!
In the next instant, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved, guiding the misty fog to his Dantian.
As his Cultivation Technique ran, the misty fog transford into extrely pure Xuan Fire Spiritual Power; at a speed even faster than refining Spirit Crystal energy.
Most importantly, the conversion rate was a hundred percent!
Simultaneously, Ye Zhen split a thread of his Divine Sense to divert a wisp of misty fog towards his five internal organs and six hollow organs.
Ye Zhen was preparing for cultivating the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body.
Cultivating the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body requires internal-external cultivation, with the strength of the five internal organs and six hollow organs being the most crucial and challenging aspect.
The five internal organs and six hollow organs must first withstand the wash of flas, purifying internal impurities.
However, the flas cultivated from the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, even the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire Ye Zhen currently cultivated, were overwhelmingly fierce, while the five internal organs and six hollow organs are among the most fragile parts of the human body.
One mistake, and instead of purifying, the fire would incinerate them to ashes.
That would be akin to suicide.
Therefore, the first step in cultivating the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body is to enhance the strength of one’s five internal organs and six hollow organs, allowing them to withstand the tempering flas cultivated.
Originally, the Earth Core Fire Commander left several Secret Techniques to strengthen the five internal organs and six hollow organs, but each required valuable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to be used together. However, from Ye Zhen’s perspective, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures listed by the Earth Core Fire Commander, not only had he not seen them before, he hadn’t even heard of them.
Today, when the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch’s misty fog descended, the five internal organs and six hollow organs simultaneously began proactively absorbing it, leading Ye Zhen to believe this misty fog might strengthen them, prompting his actions!
As the misty fog entered the five internal organs and six hollow organs, they visibly grew stronger.
Under the nourishnt of the misty fog, blood vessels inside them beca robust and resilient, while various tiny muscles began strengthening.
Just a wisp of misty fog provided nourishnt, allowing Ye Zhen to feel that his cardiac function improved by at least half a step.
Stronger than the effects of a year’s worth of Spiritual Power nourishnt!
Overjoyed, Ye Zhen increased the extraction of misty fog into the five internal organs and six hollow organs.
This extraction made the insufficient portion of misty fog even more stretched thin.
With a thought, Ye Zhen prepared to increase the speed at which he absorbed this misty fog.
But the question was, should he use the thod taught by Jian Qianxiong?
Or the Secret Technique recorded in the Jade Scroll given by the mysterious elder? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to cast recomndation votes or monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
