Chapter 31: The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony
Qi Qi didn't come to this big world alone, in addition to him, there were Zhan Xiu and Da Chun Shu, maybe because of the instability of the spatial passage caused by the transformation of the small world, or maybe Qi Qi's own strength was too strong, in short, they did not reach the intended destination of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and when they left the passage, Qi Qi was thrown into the fourth sea alone.
In this wild area, in the primitive walled city of this blood sacrifice ceremony, the voice of the big Tsubaki tree came to the ears of Qiqi, and it was with the battle break, which means that the war break was also here.
"Are you all there?" strolling on the avenue, I couldn't see any difference from the appearance of Qiqi's party, the big Tsubaki tree had relied on its true power to transform, and there was a connection between it and Qiqi.
"Well, when we arrived in this big world, we fell in this wild area, boss, don't you know, the closer we get to this ancient tree, the more uncontrollable it turns into its body, and now he is a tree standing straight and standing still, and even his thoughts are gone!" said the big tsubaki tree, obviously frightened.
"Don't look at it, I also turned into the body, although I can transform into a form, but I have to change back when I am distracted!" Qi Qi also said depressedly.
"Where are you?" Wuhuan couldn't help but ask, listening to these two unobtrusive fellows complaining to each other.
"It's right next to this ancient tree, boss, don't you know, this ancient tree is actually my ancestor!"
"You say it's a Tsubaki tree?" asked Wuhuan in amazement.
"Uh-huh, here it is not called Tsubaki Tree but Vast Ancient Tree, it is said that it is the companion tree of the World Tree in the Temple of Life on the Emperor-level Continent, the only one left in the world!" said the Great Tsubaki tree.
"Wait, what is the Temple of Life, and, who did you listen to?" Wu Huan felt like the more he asked questions.
"The Temple of Life, ......" Speaking of this big tsubaki tree, it seems to have fallen into some kind of memory, "The World Tree is planted by the Temple of Life, which is one of the absolute supreme beings in the entire world, the holy place of all wood-based creatures, the origin and destination of life in the world, the maker of the order of life, and the judge who defines life and death......"
At first, Wu Huan listened very seriously, but later the beautiful words in Da Chunshu's mouth became more and more exaggerated, and in the end it was almost on par with the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and after a long, long time, Wu Huan found that what Da Chunshu said was really the truth.
"Stop, stop, I'll just ask a question, who told you this?" If there really is such an exaggeration as Tsubaki said, there is no reason why he has never heard of it until now.
"Of course, it's my little friends around me, they're friendly, and this ancient tree ancestor sometimes wakes up and chats with us!" "Well, the conscious tree is not only the big Tsubaki tree and the battle rest, but the big boundless ancient tree in front of me is a self-conscious existence, and there are countless "small trees" growing around it.
"Boss, are you here for the Blood Festival?" asked Tsubaki.
"Why do you ask that?" Wuhuan said curiously.
"Boss, this is an opportunity, you have to grasp it well, hundreds of millions of strange beasts are gathered here for this opportunity, the opportunity for life transformation!"
"Wait, you're saying that these beasts weren't captured but came of their own free will?" Wu Huan noticed something else.
"Of course, not all alien beasts can participate in this ceremony, they have to pass the assessment and competition among alien beasts before they are eligible to come here, and every alien beast quota is very precious!"
"No wonder these strange beasts are so quiet along the way, even the natives who escort them are very relaxed!" Wu Huan felt that there was a reasonable explanation for what was happening on the road at this time.
"Let's talk about this blood sacrifice ceremony!" Qi Qi said curiously.
"To use a metaphor, you will understand that the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is a watering event!" First of all, Tsubaki came up with a metaphor that made people spray rice.
"The ancient tree ancestor has been rooted in the earth for tens of millions of years, and its breath contains an extremely pure breath of life, which is fused with the vitality of heaven and earth to nourish this vast and boundless wild land, but everything in the world has a quantity, and the vitality of heaven and earth must be repeated so that it will not be exhausted, and the same ancestor cannot release the vitality indefinitely, which requires the creatures living on the earth to give feedback every once in a while, and in return, the last one in the feedback will be blessed by the ancestor, that is, the blood of hundreds of millions of foreign beasts will give back to the earth, and the ancestor who is still alive in the end will give blessings, from ancient times to tens of millions of yearsCountless demon beasts walked out from here, crossed the third sea, crossed the emperor-level continent, and went to the emperor-level continent!" explained Tsubaki.
"Then why don't you use these natives, I think their qi and blood are quite vigorous!" Qi Qi pouted a little unpleasantly.
"Boss, don't you know, the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony was originally a grand ceremony of alien beasts, they didn't even allow other creatures to intervene, and in the end, it was the creatures who relied on their fists to negotiate terms with the alien beasts, but the vitality of the alien beasts was stronger than the creatures In order not to affect the ancestors of the ancient trees, there were less than one thousandth of the living soul cultivators among the hundreds of millions of alien beasts, and the clansmen who felt invincible rescued each other, and those who were lucky enough to go to the end were the ancestors of the ten major tribes from ancient times to the present, and it is said that they were either already in the emperor-level continent or had already run to the emperor-level continent. "Tsubaki arrived.
"How about it, do you want to participate?" Wuhuan asked Qi Qidao.
"Should I participate?" Although it was a rhetorical question, Qi Qi already had an answer, and there was a breath from the vast ancient tree in the distance that made him yearn, like the comfort and comfort from the level of life after surviving the catastrophe of life and death.
The whole city, or rather, this is a super huge tribal gathering place, all kinds of humanoid creatures walk in it, among which there are many cultivators from the outside world, and to distinguish whether it is an indigenous person is very simple to look at the clothing and qi and blood, all of them are dressed in fur and animal bones, each of them is a monstrous generation of qi and blood, and the muscles and flesh are knotted and powerful.
"Are you really going to participate in this blood festival?" Lu Lan Du confirmed with Qi Qi again.
"Is there a problem?" asked Qi rhetorically.
"Are you going to go in the form of a beast?" Lan Du asked.
"Otherwise, don't you think this will be more imposing!" Qi Qi said with a fierce expression on his fangs.
"Among the hundreds of millions of strange beasts, there must be many powerful existences, demon beasts are not necessarily powerful, and foreign beasts do not mean that they are all weak, what you are strong is the power you control!" Lan Du said.
"Do you really think that my beast body is just an ornament, don't worry, the strongest state is what I am at this time!" The ferocious aura in Qi Qi's eyes flashed, and for some reason, the closer he got to the ancient tree, a bloodthirsty desire inexplicably surged in his body.
Wuhuan has been communicating with the big chun tree, from entering the big world to now the big chun tree has been here, the vast ancient tree has woken up three times in the past hundred years, although each time is extremely short, but the information exchanged with the big chun tree is extremely important, for example, there is a world tree on the emperor-level continent, such as living beings and alien beasts are all components of the world, there is no difference in some aspects, such as vitality will only continue to transform, but will not disappear, just like everything else in the world.
"Mass is conserved, if you decrease here and increase in another, what changes is only the form, which has nothing to do with reality and reality, and illusion is also a change!" Wu Huan looked at his hands at this time, his body was just made of gathering the vitality of heaven and earth, and the tangible and intangible would not be much lighter than the air, but when he thought that the vitality that constituted him might be the decomposed remains of some living beings after decaying, some living waste and the like, he felt a sense of disgust when he thought about this, and then thought about it, he had been in contact with less since he was born, and then thought about it at a deeper level, if he could master such changes, what was the difference between him and the real gods.
"Old Fantasy, do you say imaginary things can appear in reality?" Wu Huan said to Illusory World.
"Yes!" Hearing Wu Huan's question, a light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Phantom Shiyuan, and Wu Huan's words made him vaguely remember a hazy fragment, and the answer he said came from that fragment.
The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is a grand event of the Barbarian Tribe and a great opportunity, it was an opportunity for the alien beasts to supplement the ancient tree's desire to transform, but because of the strong men of the Barbarian Tribe and gave up part of the places, the only one in the hundreds of millions was already cruel, plus the addition of cultivators and creatures made the competition even more intense, as the only area without a forbidden area, the strange beasts that came to participate in the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony were more than one area of the strange beasts, and many of them came from far away, which caused it extremely difficult for a cultivator to stand until the end, and even the strange beasts would join forces to eliminate these living spirit cultivators first。
When Qi Qi and his party were stopped outside the Blood Sacrifice Plain where the ceremony was held, they were told that no strange beasts or creatures were allowed to enter again before the ceremony began.
"There is too much vitality to transform at one time, even the ancient tree ancestor can't bear it, and the limit of the number is based on balance!"
"You're in there?" Wuhuan asked.
"No, we are at the feet of the Ancient Tree Ancestor, thousands of miles below you, and the entire Blood Sacrifice City is built on a protruding branch on the Ancient Tree Ancestor!" said the Great Tsubaki tree.
"The former Ayutthaya and this large area were only on the protruding branches of an ancient tree!" I thought that I was still very far away from the ancient tree, but now the big tsubaki told me that they had been on this ancient tree all along.
"If I'm going to do something, your Ancient Tree Ancestor won't mind!" Qi Qi said.
"It's sleeping!"
Well, after receiving an affirmative answer, Qi Qi deceived the guards and ran into the Blood Sacrifice Plain, countless roars in the distance rose one after another, fierce and vicious, huge figures abounded like mountains, shrouded the earth, and looked at the endless beasts like a sea of beasts.
