Chapter 567: Taotie's Chaotic Sacrifice
In the underworld, every time the polar day comes, this world will usher in a rare period of peace.
All kinds of evil things will hide, no matter what kind of vicious ghosts or thousands of years old corpses, they will not show up.
Xiling Mountain is a mysterious fairy peak. On this mountain, there is a fairy force called Xiling Temple.
For mortals living in the surrounding areas, Xiling Temple is the residence of immortals who need to worship day and night.
If it were not for the protection of Xiling Temple, they would probably have died at the hands of evil ghosts in the world.
Therefore, at this polar day, mortals in various villages in the surrounding areas will hand over the Yin stones they mined to the immortal masters in the village, and these immortal masters will then offer them to the hands of Xiling Temple.
Generally speaking, the polar day will last for three to five days.
During these days, Xiling Temple will use these Yin stones to hold a sacrifice.
"Palace Master, the Yin Stones in the Wen River Valley have been collected, and the Yin Sacrifice can begin at any time!"
In a stone palace on the Xiling Divine Mountain, a middle-aged man with regular features slowly opened his eyes.
"Give orders to be careful these days, and don't let that Taotie Zhenren come out to pick peaches again."
After hearing this, the monk in charge of reporting in the stone palace outside immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Yes, sir!"
After the voice fell, a gloomy look appeared between the eyebrows of the Xiling Palace Master.
In the past few years, a new Jindan-stage monk has emerged from nowhere in the Netherworld, and he has taken advantage of the Yin Sacrifice of several immortal forces in this area to start chaos and seize opportunities.
Two years ago, his Xiling Divine Palace had suffered a great loss, and the Yin Sacrifice that he had prepared for a whole year was a wedding dress for others.
"It just so happens that the cultivation method of this Taotie Master is extremely strange, and his methods are unpredictable, and it is impossible to target him at all."
"Alas, I hope that this time during the Yin Sacrifice, he will continue to cause trouble to those old Taoist priests in Tianshou Temple, and not interfere with my great cause."
After the voice fell, a strong aura faintly emanated from the master of Xiling Temple. He was already in the late stage of Jindan.
During the period when Xiling Temple was preparing for the Yin Sacrifice, a tall figure quickly approached from the sky.
"The polar day is the few days with the heaviest yang energy in the Netherworld in a year. Some immortal forces in this area will hold a strange sacrifice during this period!"
"I don't know what this sacrifice is for. It is held every year. It should not be a simple reason such as custom and belief."
The visitor was Li Qing. Along the way, he captured more than one monk who went to Xiling Temple to pay tribute.
From these people, the answers he got were basically the same.
These Yin stones mined by countless mortals at the cost of their lifespans are used for sacrifice!
But no one could answer him what the purpose of the sacrifice was.
However, Li Qing also got a very key piece of information, that is, any immortal force that established a sect in the underworld would basically hold such a Yin sacrifice.
This made him very concerned, so Li Qing rushed over.
Looking at the Xiling Divine Mountain that was already in front of him, Li Qing stopped and a cautious expression appeared on his face.
This Yin sacrifice was obviously very important, and if he interrupted it rashly, it might cause the other party to be disgusted.
"Alas, although I am very interested in this so-called Yin sacrifice, it is still important to find someone at this time."
"It's better to wait until the sacrifice is over before visiting. It's better to stay nearby and wait and see for a few days."
Li Qing made a decision, then hid his breath, and then found a place to meditate near Xiling Divine Mountain and waited patiently.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see from a distance what this so-called Yin sacrifice was all about.
The light always covered the sky, without a sign of dimming.
The Yang energy between heaven and earth slowly rose, and everyone in this environment had a warm feeling.
Just like that, when the Yang energy was the most concentrated, a very Yin and soft breath immediately emerged from Xiling Mountain.
After sensing all this, Li Qing narrowed his eyes and looked into the sacred mountain, as if he wanted to see through all the obstacles.
Yin and Yang were in harmony, but they did not merge.
The purest Yin energy sank into the earth and then disappeared without a trace.
The Yin Sacrifice began!
At this moment, the originally bright sky dimmed in an instant.
Has it entered the night?
Li Qing, who had just had this doubt, immediately dispelled this naive idea.
"No, it's just that the sky around here has dimmed, and it's still bright in the distance."
The next moment, a loud laugh that resounded through the universe continued to echo:
"Hahahaha, this ancestor is here!"
Boom!
A giant black beast appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards Xiling Mountain.
This beast was very ferocious, especially its huge mouth, as if it could swallow everything in the world.
Not far away, Li Qing, who saw all this with his own eyes, had an earthquake in his pupils!
"This is..."
Before Li Qing finished speaking, someone in Xiling Mountain answered for him.
"Taotie Master! How dare you come here!"
Above the Taotie shadow, a skinny man stood with his hands behind his back, with a high-spirited smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, I am the Taotie ancestor, where in the world can't I go?"
"A mere Xiling Temple, I, the ancestor, don't take it seriously!"
As he said that, the giant beast's phantom rushed down and destroyed many buildings in the mountain.
Under this impact, the air made a wailing sound, which sounded very harsh.
"Hehe, then don't think about leaving this time you come. This temple would rather give up this Yin sacrifice and keep you to prevent future troubles!"
Accompanied by this murderous voice, a middle-aged man stepped out of the stone hall.
The Xiling Palace Master exuded a terrifying aura all over his body, and on his right hand, a long spear made of pure spiritual power condensed out.
Then, the Xiling Palace Master threw this spiritual spear at the thin figure stepping on the Taotie in the sky!
Whoosh!
The long spear broke through the air, as if it had pierced the air.
In a flash of lightning, the huge Taotie phantom instantly exploded and disintegrated.
Boom!
"Hiss! Why didn't you get the fortune in the Yin Meridian, Master Xiling?" The Jindan-stage cultivator who was controlling the Taotie changed his face greatly, and was obviously caught off guard by this attack.
However, the Master of Xiling sneered:
"I have made it very clear. As long as you dare to come, I would rather give up this Yin Sacrifice to get rid of this trouble of yours."
As soon as the voice fell, the Master of Xiling began to seal with his backhand, and the true essence in his body was released like water, exuding a terrifying momentum.
The Taotie Zhenren who came to attack felt a slight numbness on his scalp at this moment. Facing a cultivator in the late Jindan period, he felt a lot of pressure.
"They are really more ruthless than each other. The old Taoist priests in Tianshou Temple are on high alert, but even you, an old ghost, are trying to murder Wu!"
"People's hearts are not the same as they used to be. I won't bother with you any more. I'm leaving now!"
Having said that, Taotie Zhenren turned around and wanted to leave.
But the Lord of Xiling Hall, who had made sufficient preparations, had given up the Yin Sacrifice at this moment, so he naturally didn't want to watch the other party leave like this.
"How can you leave like this? How can you be worthy of the great gift I prepared for you?"
The Lord of Xiling Hall condensed a complicated spiritual seal in his hand. He pinched the spiritual seal and then hit it into the earth.
Boom!
The sacred mountain trembled, and a breath that made people feel heart-pounding spread out.
"Xiling Tower, suppress it for me!"
That's right, from this majestic mountain, a nine-story iron tower actually rushed out!
A lot of dirt and gravel splashed down from the nine-story iron tower, and it looked like it had been sealed in the earth for a long time.
On the top of the tower, the spiritual seal that the Xiling Palace Master had just condensed was deeply imprinted on it, constantly emitting spiritual light, which was quite dazzling.
"You are the only one with a magic weapon? How could I be afraid of you!"
"Go, Heaven-Swallowing Jade!"
I saw a black jade being hit out by Taotie Zhenren, and it went straight to the nine-story iron tower.
Boom!
The terrifying spiritual power fluctuations immediately poured out, and the entire Xiling Divine Mountain almost collapsed.
"What kind of magic weapon is this, it can actually block the Xiling Pagoda for a short time!" The face of the Xiling Palace Master was shocked, as if he had seen something incredible.
He knew the origin of the Xiling Pagoda very well. Now it was blocked by the life magic weapon of a cultivator who had just formed a pill. It was really exaggerated.
Of course, Taotie Zhenren's face was also very heavy. It took him all his strength to resist the suppression of Xiling Tower.
"Alas, I was too arrogant today. I should have gone to Tianshouguan earlier."
Under the urging of the Xiling Palace Master, this nine-story iron tower began to rotate slowly. Every time it rotated a circle, the iron tower would become larger, and the breath leaked out would be stronger.
Taotie Zhenren's resistance became more and more difficult. His forehead was covered with sweat and his face was pale.
However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened again!
In the sky, I don't know when a giant hammer appeared!
Boom!
This gray giant hammer was very powerful, covering the sky and the sun, and suddenly smashed down towards the nine-story Xiling Tower.
Clang!
Under the hammer, Xiling Tower suddenly trembled, and after making a dull sound, it flew backwards.
Boom!
The Xiling Tower fell down, and an exaggerated pit suddenly appeared on the ground. The ground within a radius of dozens of miles sank and collapsed a lot.
"Who?! Taotie Zhenren, you also found helpers?" The face of the Xiling Hall Master was instantly gloomy, and he looked at the person who just activated the giant hammer.
It was a tall young man. Although his facial features were ordinary, his gestures revealed the demeanor of a peerless master, and his temperament was extraordinary!
On the side, Taotie Zhenren also turned his head with a puzzled look and looked at the person who helped him.
The next moment, Taotie Zhenren widened his eyes, and his pupils showed an expression of extreme shock.
"Li! Li! Li Li Qing?!"
"How is it possible? Are you really Li Qing? Or are you dead and have come here as a ghost in this underworld?"
That's right, this Taotie Zhenren is Wu Chong, whom Li Qing has been looking for for a long time!
Ren Liqing never thought that he would find him in this way.
"Haha, Fatty Wu, you are really unkind. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you cursed me to death as soon as we met. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Li Qing had a warm and sunny smile on his face. He slowly waved his hand and took back the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer.
Hearing the familiar name Fatty Wu, Wu Chong finally confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Li Qing!
In the whole world, only Li Qinghui calls him this way now!
"It's really you! Hahahaha, Li Qing, are you not dead? Are you really not dead?" Wu Chong looked ecstatic, wishing he could rush to Li Qing's side immediately.
Li Qing, holding the Peerless Hammer, chuckled and said, "I won't die that easily, but you, why did you become so thin all of a sudden? Even I almost didn't recognize you!"
Yes, in Li Qing's impression, Wu Chong had always been a fat man with a round figure, but for some reason he became so thin that he looked like a different person.
"It's hard to say anything. Let's talk about it later. Please help me get rid of this old ghost in front of me first. While it's still very dark, maybe we can still get some benefits!" Wu Chong quickly reacted and immediately spoke to Li Qing. said.
Naturally, Li Qing would not refuse. He weighed the Hunyuan Unparalleled Hammer in his hand for a moment, and then focused on the master of the Xiling Palace.
The master of Xiling Palace, who was being targeted by the two men, had an unprecedented serious look on his face.
This person who came out of the blue turned out to be a good friend of Master Taotie, and it looked like they had a pretty close friendship.
This is really troublesome!
"Fellow Taoist, this is a matter of our Xiling Temple, please stay away." The master of Xiling Temple warned in a deep voice.
Li Qing naturally turned a deaf ear to this, and he said helplessly: "Stop talking nonsense, we can only do one thing now."
After all, Li Qing was also very interested in the so-called sacrifice. Now that Wu Chong had found it, he could naturally explore it.
The opponent was a monk in the late stage of pill formation, but Li Qing didn't necessarily fear him that much.
Not to mention Wu Chong's help, even if he was alone, Li Qing was still confident of having a chance with him.
"Phew! Since you insist on seeking death, don't blame me."
After the Master of Xiling Palace finished speaking, the center of his eyebrows suddenly tore open, and then a third vertical eye actually appeared!
Good guy, this is Erlang Shen!
Before Li Qing could sigh with emotion, the vertical pupils opened instantly, and strong yin energy leaked out.
"This is a kind of evil magic in Xiling Temple. It can summon powerful Yin spirits to fight for it. Don't let him succeed!" Wu Chong saw this and immediately made a decision.
The evolution of his hands continued to evolve the magical powers in the "Taotie Divine Art", which were the same as the spells used by the ancestors of the swallowing days.
After Li Qing heard this, he couldn't bear to doubt whether the other party could summon the Yin spirit in this extremely yang-y day, and he immediately started to move.
I saw a dark fire seal condensed from the palm of his right hand!
