Chapter 1772: Ritual

After passing through a long corridor and going around in a circle for most of the year, Han Li and the others entered the apse directly without passing through the main hall of the Sect Temple.

In a hidden chamber in the hall, there is a white stone staircase that leads diagonally into the depths of the ground.

At the entrance to the stairs, several other guards guarded vigilantly.

Xu Jiao waved his hand, and the guards immediately bowed down and retreated to both sides.

The group entered a somewhat gloomy staircase.

The passage was a little dark, with bursts of cold blowing from below, and at intervals on both sides, a fist-sized moonstone was inlaid with a flickering light and shadows, like a ghost moth.

Fortunately, the stone steps were not long, and after a few moments, everyone walked out and appeared in a huge underground hall with a well-designed design.

Han Li swept around slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The entire hall is made of a kind of pale black jade, with an area of three or four hundred zhang, and the surrounding walls and tops are inscribed with intricate and mysterious white runes.

The runes flashed with white aura, turning the hall into daylight.

But the most eye-catching thing in the hall is the delicate pool-shaped platform in the center.

The high platform is in the shape of a hexagonal prism and is surrounded by a huge magic circle.

In the high platform, a circular pool was filled with a bright red strange liquid, but there was not the slightest smell of blood, but bursts of tulips emanated from the pool.

In this huge magic circle, there were more than a dozen Xu family monks who were meditating there, just forming a circle around the prismatic high platform.

There were Xu Yan and Xu Huo who Han Li had seen inside.

"Meet the seniors of Han, thank you for helping the Xu family. As soon as these two cultivators of the Xu family saw Han Li appear in the hall accompanied by Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao, they didn't understand Han Li's intention, so they immediately got up with great joy and saluted Han Li from afar.

"Don't say anything grateful. Whether it can really help a little bit is a matter of two words. Han Li shook his head and said.

Xu Jiao, the patriarch of the Xu family, didn't care at all, but instead waved into the distance, so that the other Xu family monks also saw Han Li together.

These monks were men and women, some of whom were no more than thirty or forty years old, and some of whom had snow-white hair.

But everyone has the cultivation of the god transformation period, and they are obviously the real core members of the Xu family.

And these monks had already peeked at Han Li with awe-inspiring eyes, obviously knowing that this was a combined cultivator, and now when they heard the orders of the patriarch of the family, they immediately stood up one by one and bowed to Han Li in unison.

Han Li waved his hand and looked at the pool of blood with a look of great interest on his face.

"This is a thing created according to the record of the Blood Soul Great Dharma. The spiritual liquid in the pool is made by mixing and melting the essence and blood of our Xu family, adding many rare elixirs and spiritual objects. Not only is it one of the things necessary to awaken the blood soul, but it can also delay the speed of the blood soul dissipation with the help of the blood qi in the pool. Xu Yuan whispered on the side.

"I see. But the main thing in the awakening ritual is what is under the aura. Without this thing, no matter how much spiritual liquid there was in the pool, no matter how much magic circle there was, it would be difficult to perform the Blood Soul Secret Technique!" Han Li's pupils flashed slightly, and he said lightly.

"The seniors are as wise as torches, and they have seen it. That spiritual liquid is the treasure of our Xu family's clan, the blood crystal coffin. Without this thing, it is impossible to condense the blood body necessary for the blood soul, so that the blood soul can send it to it. Xu Yuan's face changed slightly, but he immediately explained as usual.

"Blood crystal coffin! Hehe, I kind of understand what this awakening ritual is all about. Han Li's gaze swept over the huge array below several times, as if he had remembered something, and after pondering for a while, he smiled.

"The senior's words are true. Xu Huo and Xu Yan on the side were stunned, obviously not believing Han Li's words.

This awakening ceremony, the Xu family used the strength of the whole clan just to prepare the arrangement, and spent most of the day to barely prepare it.

Even though the other party was a combined monk, they could see through the subtleties at once after just a few glances, and they naturally couldn't believe it.

When Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao heard this, they were also surprised.

"A few fellow Daoists don't need to feel strange, it's just that your ritual is somewhat similar to a kind of foreign exercise that Han has seen, and it is quite similar. Han Li said with a smile on his face.

But his mind couldn't help but flash the martial arts books of a certain alien race that he had read when he was in Tianyun.

Although this alien race has a small reputation, the recorded exercises can split the soul into many parts, and as long as one of them can enter the body that has been carefully prepared in advance, it can immediately replicate a general incarnation of itself.

This kind of exercise looks so peculiar, plus the cultivation mantra is somewhat close to the human exercise.

At that time, Han Li had immediately inscribed a copy of the treasure.

But it was later discovered that the key to this exercise was that it was necessary to have some kind of hidden talent of that alien race. Otherwise, after cultivating, it will incur a backlash from the exercises.

In this way, he could only secretly give up with a pity.

Of course, the alien race is originally a little different from the human race, and the details of the two secret techniques are also very different, but in the division of souls and the reattachment of new flesh, it can be greatly borrowed.

Originally, Han Li, who was only three or four percent sure in his heart, asked himself if he thought about the commonalities between the two, and he would be seventy or eighty percent confident.

Of course, Han Li naturally wouldn't have said these things on the spot now.

He just walked slowly around the blood pool and the entire magic circle under the different expressions of the monks, and his eyes did not leave the magic circle and the blood pool in the center for a moment.

"Okay, I'll do it at the right time, and you can still do it the same way and hold the ceremony on time. ”

After a few circles, Han Li said a few words lightly, then turned around, and walked to the corner of the hall, sat down cross-legged by himself, closed his eyes, Xu Jiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Han Li was really motionless in the same place, and finally couldn't help it, and his lips moved to want something.

But at this moment, Xu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Although it was only a few words, it made the Xu family patriarch feel a pang in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he dispelled the idea of opening his mouth.

On the contrary, after waiting for a while, like the other Xu family monks, they entered the magic circle and sat around the high platform to breathe.

Time passed little by little, and the air of the ground mountains began to gradually dim.

And as the night fell, the monks of the Xu family, who had been closing their eyes and making a big move, gradually became a little commotion.

Many monks couldn't help but look up at the high platform in the magic circle, with a rather strange look on their faces.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yuan, Xu Jiao and the others also opened their eyes and stared over.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the top of the giant hall suddenly burst into light, and white runes began to flow in the high places, and in a few moments, several simple small magic circles were formed.

The next moment, there was a loud buzz!

After these small circles trembled, several milky white pillars of light erupted from them, hitting the prismatic platform below, and disappeared into the pool of blood in a flash.

Han Li's expression moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, the originally quiet and unusually quiet blood pool suddenly boiled.

A strange vortex appeared out of thin air in the center of the pool of blood and spun rapidly. In the blood-red waves, silver runes of different sizes flickered and flickered, mysterious and abnormal.

"The time has come, start running the magic circle!" Xu Yuan, who had been waiting quietly, shouted loudly, causing the entire hall to buzz.

After agreeing in unison, the monks of the Xu family, who were sitting in the various cars of the magic circle, pinched their hands in high spirits, and their mouths were full of words.

The muffled sound of "poof" was unconscious, and after the aura inspired in the magic circle flickered, eighteen pillars of blood-red light erupted from everywhere.

Each one is the thickness of a bowl, and the blood is shining, and the top is directly submerged into the top of the giant hall, and there is no end in sight.

Xu Yuan, Xu Huo, and Xu Yan, as cultivators refining voids, naturally occupied the three most important formations in the magic circle, and when the others recited the law decision and urged the magic circle, their palms flipped over, and a bright red banner several inches long appeared in their palms.

As soon as it was blown, the three-pole flags immediately stood up and rotated non-stop.

The three Xu family's refining cultivators were obviously already familiar with it, and when they saw this, they immediately opened their mouths again, and each of them bit the tip of their tongues and spewed out a ball of essence blood.

As soon as the three groups of essence blood came out, they immediately slammed, and they all turned into blood mist and completely enveloped the small flag.

A screech sounded from the flags, and then a stream of light rolled out from each of them, swallowing up all the blood mist.

In an instant, the three-pole small banner was in the blood light, and its body swelled wildly.

After a few flashes, it turned into three huge blood flags, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the anger was soaring to the sky.

Bursts of blood-colored light poured out from the blood flags, constantly pouring into the entire magic circle, blending with the other blood lights in the magic circle, enveloping the entire blood pool.

The smell of blood and the strange smell of strange aromas tumbled out at the same time, and they were wonderfully intertwined and fused into one, turning into another strange aura that made people smell and be intoxicated.

And at this moment, as if attracted by this strange aura, a rumbling strange sound came out, and then a huge ball of light that seemed to be a blood-colored flame slowly emerged from the depths of the blood pool vortex.

In the blood-colored flame, a crystal coffin that flashed with Xue Hong's spiritual light was quietly suspended.

As soon as they saw this coffin appear, both the three Void Refining Cultivators and the rest of the Xu family had solemn expressions on their faces.

The various colors of aura on their bodies flowed erratically, and some even turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly, obviously urging the mana in their bodies to the extreme.
