Sacrifice and sacrifice are a similar but slightly different thing.

Both require offerings.

For example, mortals sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, the ancestors of the emperor, often use six animals and vegetables and fruits, and monks will also use a variety of demon beasts and spiritual fruits as sacrifices, this way has been mostly accepted by the world, but the sacrifice is very different, quite a lot of sacrifices are made of living people as sacrifices, this means is not only cruel, but also mostly out of selfish interests.

Therefore, in the human world, the sacrificial formation is a kind of almost forbidden formation, only in a few places in the Nanling Mountains remains, the most opposed to this kind of secret art is the Buddhists in the Western Desert, they even had a thousand monks to the east and south, exterminated some of the sects that used sacrifices to improve cultivation.

And what Anya just said is undoubtedly a sacrificial secret technique.

But how could Guanghan Palace be associated with this evil way?

This is the Emperor's Imperial Palace, not to mention the most sacred place of the human race, at least it should be a solemn place, and who is so bold as to dare to sacrifice a living person there? And the sacrifice turned out to be a disciple of the Great Sects at that time?

Su Qijing thought quietly for a while and had an idea.

He originally thought that those dried corpses were related to the Three-Eyed Divine King, and it was the Three-Eyed Divine King who sucked their blood, but now he changed his mind, and the reason why those monks were sacrificed may be because someone wanted to gain strength from the Funeral Butterfly to fight against the Three-Eyed King who broke into the Guanghan Palace.

At that time, there was a great chaos in the world, the war had begun, and Guanghan Palace, as the top force in the world, would inevitably rush to the forefront of the war, and it was naturally the place where the strongest of the human race gathered the most, and there was no reason why someone would sacrifice the human monks there unscrupulously.

Unless this is allowed by the Guanghan Palace.

At that time, the battle situation must be very tragic, and in order to save the battle situation, Guanghan Palace may really adopt such a cruel method.

And as an imperial palace, it is indeed very likely that Guanghan Palace has the kind of secret technique that Anya said.

Su Qi's mind was like electricity, all kinds of thoughts quickly turned in his mind, and he quickly understood another thing.

The number of butterfly depictions under the twelve statues varies, the largest is the empress Zhao Qinglan, and the least is the sixth-ranked male emperor, with only one butterfly under him, and the rest are mostly two.

This number probably represents the number of times they have dreamed of butterflies.

However, according to what Anya said, the Great Emperor will have a chance to dream of butterflies when he breaks into the Emperor Realm, so how did these twice, three, or even four Great Emperors do it?

One possibility is that the emperor, like Su Qi, dreamed of butterflies before he became an emperor.

And the other ......

Su Qi turned his head and looked at the temple in the ice wall, thoughtful.

Anya saw through Su Qi's thoughts, "Some of them succeeded, right?"

"I'm going to go in and have a look. Su Qi said softly, "You go up there and wait for me, right? If something is wrong, don't rush in." ”

Anya was silent for a moment, "Even if I already told you that this temple is very dangerous, and if you don't make it, you will die inside, you still want to go in?"

"I'm a person who can dream of butterflies when I don't become an emperor, maybe the Butterfly of the Burial World will like me very much?" Su Qi pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly, "Don't worry, this is a temple built by the Emperor of the Terran Race, and our Terran race is the race that cares most about future generations, even if there is danger, maybe there will be means left by the Emperor to protect me." ”

Anya looked at Su Qi for a moment, shook her head helplessly, reached out and took out a soul sculpture from her neck, and handed it to Su Qi, "Take it, although I don't know if this thing can work, but this soul sculpture was carved by Ama himself, maybe it can help a little." ”

"Then you're welcome. ”

"I'm sorry I didn't want to go in with you. Anya bowed her head slightly, "The cause and effect of the Funeral Butterfly...... I can't just get around it. ”

Su Qi actually didn't want her to go in, after all, she was carrying the fate of a race on her back, and she was involved in that terrible existence, so I was afraid that it would not end well.

As for Su Qi himself, I am afraid that he has long had an inexplicable cause and effect with the Butterfly of the Burial World.

The image of a little girl came to his mind, she smiled lightly, gentle and gentle, and her body exuded a rich fragrance, which should have been a beauty billet, but Su Qi inexplicably smelled a rancid and dangerous smell on her.

It's like facing a behemoth.

"I know. Su Qi patted Anya on the shoulder comfortingly, "Find a safe place to wait for me." ”

After speaking, Su Qi turned around and strode towards the ice wall, the Eight Desolation Sword opened the way in front of him, and the ice chips flew wildly in the sky, cutting a narrow gap in the ice wall.

He walked all the way in.

The surrounding cold air eroded his body, the temple in the distance got closer and closer, and the vague appearance of being refracted through the ice gradually became clear, this temple was slightly shorter than the statue of the Emperor, which was a very unusual thing, there were often various statues in front of the buildings in the human race, but these buildings were all taller and larger than these statues without exception, and there had never been a situation where the statues were taller than the buildings.

Maybe this is the arrogance of those Great Emperors? Even if they want to peek into the unknowable realm above the Emperor Realm through the Funeral Butterfly, they don't want to bow down to it.

Su Qi glanced back, and the narrow crack was facing the arm of a statue, which looked extremely weird.

He turned around and quickened his movements.

The stone steps of the temple began to be revealed.

And Su Qi also found that in fact, from the stone steps, there was no ice on the temple.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier that protected the place, and even though the temple had been buried and covered by ice, it did not allow the frost to invade the temple in the slightest.

The Eight Desolation Sword fell on top of Su Qi's head.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

The first thing you feel different is the temperature.

The stone steps are as warm as spring, even a little hot, and there is a world of difference from the ice field just a step away.

The second difference is the smell.

Su Qi's nose twitched slightly, this rich aroma was familiar to him, very similar to the smell on the little girl named Butterfly Girl.

There is indeed some kind of relationship between the two.

Su Qi walked up the steps, the stone steps here are very ancient, exuding a heavy and vicissitudes of life, but they are very simple, without any patterns and carvings, and there is no decoration on both sides of the stone steps, Su Qi raised his head, the bronze pillars of the temple are very tall, and there is no decay, the whole body is golden.

There are a total of 999 stone steps.

Su Qi didn't dare to fly, and walked up step by step, although he didn't know what kind of temper the Funeral Butterfly was, but it would not be wrong to maintain some respect.

In front of the temple there are three bronze tripods, which exude an indescribable smell, which is the source of the rich aroma on the stone steps, but it is too strong here to make people feel slightly disgusting.

Su Qi walked closer and glanced at it.

There was blood inside, extremely bright red, and judging from the aura emanating from above, it was definitely not just the blood of a few people.

All souls' blood?

Su Qi felt a chill, and he raised his head, Temple
