Chapter 125: The Altar
But what made Nie Yan strange was that the legendary places he saw were all famous in the legends, and none of the legendary beasts were seen.
Divine beasts, he heard the ancestor of Mingyangmen talk about it, it seems that they have ascended, or gone to other worlds, but what about those rui beasts? Is that also the case?
Nie Yan didn't believe that all the beings here were extremely hostile to humans, and as soon as he thought about it, his perception was like being dragged by a force, and he quickly swept towards many mysterious places.
In these mysterious places, the first thing Nie Yan could sense was a man-made trace, these traces were not the ruins of buildings, or the depictions of murals, but really came from the hands of cultivators, forming a shocking town.
Nie Yan could only use 'earth-shattering' to describe the traces he saw, because the aura emanating from one or two formations was stronger than the so-called earth-level formation on his body.
What are these ancient powers going to do? Before Nie Yan had time to think about it, in these formations, he saw the legendary Rui Beast, or the Rui Beast Clan.
They are scattered in these formations, each formation corresponds to a Rui Beast, or a group of Rui Beast Clan, in the formation, the breath of heaven and earth is not so tyrannical, although it is not as peaceful as the breath in the land of China, but it can also be used to promote the formation, or practice.
Nie Yan could feel that these formations were protecting these Rui Beasts, but at the same time, he was also surprised to find that it seemed that there was also a force spreading on these Rui Beasts, cooperating with some kind of invisible existence to guard this heaven and earth.
The invisible existence should also be said to be a large array, perhaps including the barrier he climbed over the top of the mountain before, including the meaning of guarding in the chaotic atmosphere of heaven and earth.
Nie Yan couldn't imagine, what kind of earth-shattering array was this? The formation that these Rui beasts are in is just more like a sub-formation of this big array, completely imprisoning this world from the inside out.
Even if it's against the sky, it's not foolproof, how can it be so simple to guard a world? That's why there is the persistence of those heads of Mingyangmen. So speaking of which, did the ancestor of Mingyangmen also participate in this big array?
It stands to reason that it should be impossible, the ancestor of Mingyangmen deduced from the time that he should be a figure in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so in connection with the era when the Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared, were these secrets still known to most cultivators in that era?
It was a collapse of the Han Dynasty that these inheritances were completely broken, and it is hard to imagine how many inheritances will be broken by another collapse a few hundred years later?
Nie Yan's thoughts were messy, but he found that those Rui beasts had a strange accumulation of a kind of heaven and earth aura, full of auspiciousness and vastness.
"That's... That's merit! Nie Yan exclaimed in his heart, the merit could be sensed like this, which showed how great the merit of heaven and earth was to guard this heaven and earth? Presumably, it is no longer those ancient Rui beasts here, but their descendants, presumably those ancient Rui beasts have also soared, right?
Only in this way may they be able to sustain themselves to stay here for a long time, without being tormented to madness by the confinement here, just like those fierce beings I saw before.
Nie Yan felt as if he had some understanding of this world, but he also felt that he might only know a little bit of the surface, and there were many questions that he could not solve.
Just when Nie Yan's thoughts were unsettled, another force dragged Nie Yan quickly to a certain piece of land in the center.
Here, the unexpected desolation, like the desert of the western soil, lacks the breath of life, but it is full of the vicissitudes of time that the western desert does not have.
Nie Yan didn't understand why his will had been dragged here? Just when he was wondering, his will suddenly began to sink, and he actually squeezed into this land.
Then, it was an extremely uncomfortable process, as if there was a great force resisting his will to probe the secrets of the land, and the force leading him was forceful and forcibly to bring him under the land.
The result of the game of these two forces brought great torture to Nie Yan's will, as if his body had come here, and he had really been put into the ground, experiencing the pain of that kind of squeezing.
It was a feeling worse than the burning of the flames, but a voice kept telling him that he had to hold on. This voice did not come from Nie Yan himself, it seemed to be an idea that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had invisibly transmitted to him.
Then persevere, Nie Yan endured it silently, this moment seemed to be very long, but at the moment of liberation, it seemed like he had only experienced a moment when he thought about it.
Nie Yan couldn't think about that mysterious feeling, but after waking up, he was surprised to find that he was in a huge underground space.
This is a huge cave that has been forcibly hollowed out, and in the middle of the cave there is a huge structure like an altar.
The building is covered with mysterious symbols and runes, I don't know why? At first glance, Nie Yan felt that neither the altar nor the mysterious symbols and runes on the altar were from human hands.
They are a little awkward, not like humans drawing symbols and runes, full of a natural aura, more like an imitation, but not quite in place.
Even so, Nie Yan had no doubt that this altar was full of tremendous power, because on top of these runes and symbols, there was a terrifying force condensed, making up for the lack that they were not so natural.
"What is this?" Nie Yan didn't understand what this qiē in front of him represented? The force that led him, why did he have to bring him here?
But at this time, his will was dragged to a very inconspicuous corner of the sky, and then there was a layer of invisible power that wrapped his will, which seemed to protect him.
Why? Nie Yan was puzzled, but he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps. Then, a crowd of people appeared here with an old man in their arms.
Person? Although Nie Yan was a will, he also subconsciously frowned, and his corresponding body outside this world also frowned, which was the biggest question he had when he came here.
I don't know why a group of people are underground? And the force that led him was to let him come to see people?
Soon, Nie Yan discovered that something was wrong, although this group of people had completely possessed human form, the aura exuded from their bodies was so strong and wild, this was not at all the aura that humans could have.
These are clearly demons.
There were so many monsters, which made Nie Yan feel a little frightened subconsciously, and the aura exuded by each of them was more than a hundred times stronger than the so-called big demons that Nie Yan had seen.
Even, much stronger than Shi Tao's breath, what these should be, Nie Yan can roughly imagine in his heart.
Because in comparison, they were even stronger than the legendary beasts that Nie Yan had seen before.
They must have been transformed by the most powerful and topmost group of fierce beasts, right? It's like gluttony, like gluttony, like chaos, and so on...
Thinking of this, Nie Yan felt that his entire will was filled with an unprecedented tension, but the force that protected him was also extremely strong, so that this group of famous Cunzi Zài walked in without discovering where his will was.
This group of real demons began to walk towards the altar after entering the underground, and every ten steps would leave several big demons to guard the surrounding area of each altar, and in the end, only the old man who was surrounded by the crowd walked to the top of the altar alone.
What kind of monster should the old man be? Nie Yan couldn't guess it anymore, the aura on his body was far less tyrannical and crazy than those big demons guarding the town, just like an ordinary old man, he couldn't feel any strong aura.
He looked calmly at the cave, like a farmer looking at his land, full of hope, but with a sense of absolute confidence.
He opened his mouth and spoke a strange language, which seemed to be the language of a human, but it was like a wild beast roaring unconsciously, but it sounded like a human speech.
After this sound, there was a sound of footsteps and the roar of a ferocious beast from underground.
Nie Yan looked at this qiē in surprise, not understanding what this group of big demons were going to do? But he saw that no less than hundreds of shapeshifting demons poured in this time, and they dragged a shapeless beast with their heads tied up into this vast underground cavern.
What is it going to do? Nie Yan was a little anxious, because he couldn't understand the old man's roar, so he couldn't figure out the final purpose of these big demons?
Fortunately, at this time, the old man didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the shapeshifting demons who dragged the fierce beasts in began to bleed those fierce beasts.
Judging from their methods, what they wanted to take was the essence blood of those fierce beasts.
Bright red as gem-like essence blood dripped to the ground, and Nie Yan realized that there were hundreds of shallow ravines on the ground that had been excavated leading to the altar.
As the essence blood fell, a large amount of blood was released, forming a stream of bright red rushing towards the altar.
The old man showed a satisfied look, but Nie Yan became more and more puzzled, always feeling that he had really seen an amazing scene.
