Chapter 66: Temporary Submission

It was a hexagonal altar, very old and old, with some mysterious symbols carved on it, which had long been obscured by endless dust and lost its former glory.

The old altar was surrounded by a fence that was rusty and decaying, and looked as if it was about to collapse, unable to withstand the erosion of time.

Despite this, the whole altar is still very mysterious and extraordinary, with a faint hazy charm flowing around the altar, without a shadow and invisible.

This is where the living sacrifices take place.

The group was escorted here, and the leading skeletal guard came to the altar and opened the fence, but it was so old that it made a clicking sound when it opened.

"Click.....................

The skeletal guard's armor-wrapped arm exerted force, and finally opened the fence, and for a moment the dust was splashed.

Then, the skeleton guard pointed his spear at everyone and motioned for everyone to enter the altar, but there was no way, everyone had no choice but to walk up to the altar, and now they could only resign themselves to fate.

"Boom!"

The rusty fence was locked, and the skeleton guards turned away, leaving everyone inside the altar.

"Damn it, we're done this time. Yu Shixin held the fence with his hand and slowly exerted his strength, but unfortunately these fences seemed to be rotten and dilapidated, but they were still very strong, no matter how hard he exerted, he couldn't damage them in the slightest.

"Huh, these fences are so strong?" Yu Shixin was a little surprised, and soon he understood that the material of this fence should be very special, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to break.

"Shixin, don't fight with the fence, we'll say goodbye forever. Yu Fengqi sat on the altar decadently, shook his head and sighed.

"Well, I can't believe we're going to end up like this. ”

Everyone was a little embarrassed, they had worked hard for so long, and how many hardships had they experienced? But in the end, they ended up in vain, which really made people feel very emotional, and sighed that heaven is impermanent.

Yuqing and the others are no longer the same as they were at the beginning, and they look down on life and death a lot, and now they are not so afraid, but they are a little unwilling in their hearts.

"Boom .................."

At this time, the altar slowly turned and began to glow, only to see the symbols lit up, flowing with mysterious brilliance, although not brilliant, but very vast, disturbing the world.

Those symbols shine brightly, shining on the past and the present, rising and falling in the sky, as if everything in this world is lost, unable to distinguish the past and the present, with no end.

Faintly, a jerky and ancient syllable could be heard.

"The rise and fall of the Heavenly Dao, the balance of all spirits, maybe this is the destination. Raising his hand to feel the flow of luster around him, Pu Tiange's eyes were confused, and he sighed.

"Do you remember the skeleton wreckage we encountered, and how could we have come here if you hadn't had to follow the direction the skeleton was pointing?"

Yu Shixin is a little crazy, this thing is speechless when he thinks about it, and he really kills himself to the extreme.

"It's over, friends. Putiange closed his eyes, his expression calm, and he felt that his life was passing away, and he was about to turn away.

Just as everyone was waiting to die, the luster on the altar suddenly dimmed, and it slowly stopped turning, and the whole altar returned to calm.

Everyone was a little stunned, and they didn't understand why this was happening.

At this time, the void suddenly cracked, turning into an endless abyss, and in the abyss, part of the armor was exposed, cold and dark, the light was silent, and the edge was cold.

Inside the armor, a pair of cold eyes looked down on everyone, without the slightest emotion.

"There's a skeleton to show you the way? A roaring sound was heard, and the armor on the elvender's skull emitted a ghostly light, as if it were coming from the underworld.

It seems that this immortal attaches great importance to this matter, Pu Tiange thought to himself, and at the same time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stated the cause and effect carefully, without the slightest omission.

"I see, since they want to go to war, then I can only accompany them. After a moment of silence, the cold voice of the Immortal came, which made people shudder.

With a snort, the Immortal raised his hand through the void and pulled everyone into the main hall.

"The war has begun, and now is not the time to perform a living sacrifice. The Immortal looked at himself with a far-reaching gaze.

"And.................. You living people may have another use. The Immortal sat on his throne and looked down at the people in the Great Hall.

"I'm giving you a chance. ”

"As long as you are willing to submit to me, serve me, and perform certain merits, then I promise to get you out of the Infernal Hell alive. The Immortal's tone was calm, without a trace of ups and downs.

"How's it going?" the Immortals waited for a reply from the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, a little surprised, they thought they were dead, but they didn't expect things to take such a turn.

Although the strength of the people is very good, it is not enough to enter the eyes of this kind of existence, and the immortals intend to recruit them, most likely because they are living people and have special features.

Anyway, there is really only one way for everyone to go now, otherwise they will die.

"The subordinates are willing to submit. Everyone knelt down on one knee and said in unison, with the supreme existence of the Immortals, they should not be able to deceive these little people, so it is still more credible.

After seeing everyone's statement, the Immortal nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and let out a few rays of ghostly light, flying towards everyone, and in the blink of an eye, it was imprinted on everyone's foreheads.

Everyone let out a few painful **, and a dark black lotus appeared on each of their foreheads, exuding a hazy brilliance, and then the brilliance was quickly restrained in the lotus.

"This is the Black Lotus Mark, as long as you have any rebellious behavior, I can kill you with a single thought by following the Black Lotus Mark, and this mark can also make most of the undead in this ancient city obey you. The Immortal spoke slowly.

"Stand down first, and I'll order someone to arrange a place for you to stay." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

When they left the temple, a skeleton guard soon came to lead them to their quarters, and everyone was a little distracted and confused along the way.

No one knows who the enemy in the mouth of the Immortal is, but to be able to become an enemy of this kind of existence, I am afraid that the strength will not be much weaker than that of the Immortal, and it is very terrifying to think about.

And after analyzing it from beginning to end, one can come to the conclusion that the skeleton remains that everyone had encountered were probably the subordinates of the Immortals, but they were attacked and wiped out.

From the traces of divine power left on the remains of the skeletons at that time, it can be seen that they have been attacked by some unknown enemy.

Therefore, the enemy that the Immortals are referring to should be the one who attacked the group of skeletons, so it seems that the reason why everyone was not directly sacrificed alive was because of the hostile forces.

Anyway, it's good to be able to survive now.

Everyone frowned as they walked, the environment here was too bad, and at a glance, the houses were dilapidated, old and decaying, the streets were covered with countless dust, and there were several hideous skeletons wandering around.

This place is simply inhabitable, and it is very suitable for the dead to live, but it is probably very reluctant to live for the living, and the thought of living in this environment for a period of time makes Yuqing's scalp numb.

But there is no way, so I can only do it.

Eventually, the skeleton guards led the group to a remote house and left, leaving them behind. When they arrived at their quarters, they looked around them.

Located on the edge of the old city, it is very remote and surrounded by sparse houses.

In the distance, several skeletons could be seen wandering in the distance, and the walls of the ancient city could be faintly seen, beyond which were a patch of dilapidated houses.

The dwelling of the people was a three-story house, which occupied a large area, and was very decayed and old, covered with dust, and the doors and windows were dilapidated, but relatively intact.

The whole house is made of wood, with a dull gray hue, which looks eerie and quiet, filled with the vicissitudes of life and the sense of old age, which is unimaginably old.

The architectural style of the house is very strange, neither like the buildings of the Hundred Tribes, nor like the buildings of the Ten Kingdoms of the Northern Regions, which everyone has never seen at all, let alone heard of.

"Crunch .............................."

Pu Tiange stretched out his hand to push open the door, and looked inside, only to see that it was dim, the floor was dusty, and there were some rotten tables and chairs, all of which were wooden.

Everyone's feet stepped on the floor, silently, probing every corner of this house, for some reason the wooden things here can block the detection of divine power, so everyone can only look at it with their eyes.

The house is divided into three floors, each with a dozen rooms, all with tables, chairs, beds, and some wooden cabinets and bookshelves, but they are all old and decayed.

Although the contents of this house are very old, they are relatively intact, and even if they are damaged, they are still very strong, and it is difficult for everyone to destroy them with their divine powers.

"Hurry up and clean up the dust. ”

Everyone used their divine power to clean most of the dust in the entire house, making it much cleaner, at least more pleasing to the eye, and the smell of decay dissipated a little.

"It's so old that no one has lived in this house for a long time. Yu Fengqi stroked the floor, felt the traces of the years, and exclaimed.

"I've seen it for nearly a thousand years, right?" Yu Fengqi said again.

"Not just a thousand years, at least more than 10,000 years. Pu Tiange smiled and shook his head, the age of this house is terrifying, and it is really scary to say it.

"More than 10,000 years, the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm is only 10,000 years, but the years of existence of this house will surpass that of the powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Realm?" Yu Shixin was a little shocked and felt incredulous.

"Alas, although cultivators are beyond the mundane and have a strong physique, their lifespan is still limited. Yuqing sighed.

"Cultivators are divided into three realms, and each realm has three stages, and different realm stages have different lifespans. Yu Qing paused and continued.

"At the beginning of the mortal spirit, the lifespan is five hundred years. ”

"Where the spirit is sublimated, the life span is a thousand years. ”

"Whoever is enlightened has a lifespan of 1,500 years. ”

"Xuanling is at the beginning, with a lifespan of three thousand years. ”

"Xuanling sublimation, lifespan of 3,500 years. ”

"Xuanling Mingdao, life expectancy of four thousand years. ”

"The Holy Spirit is the first and has a lifespan of five thousand years. ”

"The Holy Spirit ascends and lives for seven thousand years. ”

"The Holy Spirit enlightens the Word, and lives for 10,000 years. ”

"Most cultivators with ordinary qualifications generally stop at the Mortal Spirit Realm Enlightenment Stage, while only some cultivators with extraordinary talents can reach the Xuan Spirit Realm, and as for the cultivators who can reach the Holy Spirit Realm, there are even fewer of them. ”

Yu Qing sighed, except for Putian Ge, the qualifications of several of them were at most able to reach the Xuanling Realm, and they would live for thousands of years at most, and then they would disappear.

"Even if you have cultivated to the extreme of the worldly realm, it is only about 10,000 years, and it is not as good as this house, which is really a bit ridiculous and sad. Yu Qing closed her eyes slightly, her back against the wall.

The atmosphere among the people suddenly fell a little silent and became depressing.

"The living rise and fall, the dead are eternal, the obsessions in the heart are all vain, and the clouds turn into dust. Pu Tiange spoke, and there was a roaring voice, calming the inner hesitation of Yu Qing and the others.

Pu Tiange understood what a few people were thinking, so he used his magic powers to help them calm their minds.

From this time on, they dwelt..............................
