Chapter 20: The Lake of Blood

Qi Xuansu had seen this scene in his dream, it was the "Xuanyu of Death", which made the dream realm have a new change.

This time, Qi Xuansu knew very well that he was dreaming, so he began to try to explore where the boundaries of dreams were.

There are many palaces around, the style is rough, and it is full of the atmosphere of ancient barbarism. However, these halls are in dilapidation, and the various statues around them are only the remains of severed limbs.

There is a tragic battlefield below, completely turned into a world of ice and snow, covered with frost, countless lifelike ice sculptures, still maintaining the appearance before death.

There are also many illusory figures, standing on the mountain road with expressionless faces. Except for the slightly illusory figure, it is no different from a living person, densely packed, not to mention hundreds of people.

These figures have lost all their senses, like clay puppets, as if they have encountered some powerful spell, and their souls have been forcibly withdrawn, but their bodies have been annihilated.

Qi Xuansu tried to walk towards the surrounding palace and the battlefield below, but found that there were invisible walls around him, confined him to a small area, whether it was the battlefield below or the tall palace hidden in the darkness, it was just an unattainable background.

Although he couldn't get out, he could see part of the mountain through these invisible barriers and the darkness around him.

Lingshan is on the verge of disintegration, there are several huge tornadoes and thunder outside the mountain, constantly destroying the mountain of the mountain, part of the mountain has cracked, but because of some strange force, this part of the mountain is not directly peeled off, but kept in the original approximate position, but there are huge cracks between the two, maybe in the far distance, not even the cracks can be seen, but if you get closer, you will find that these cracks of more than ten zhang have become insurmountable moats, Many large and small gravel remain frozen in the air in a state of cracking and sputtering, not falling or moving, frozen at this moment.

It's as if someone has fixed everything with great supernatural powers, so that it is maintained at the moment when it is about to be broken and it is not broken. It is like a mirror that has been broken into pieces and forcibly spliced together, and it is difficult to round the broken mirror and hide the cracks on the mirror surface.

The tornadoes and thunder outside the mountain are alive and moving, while the mountain is dead and still.

Between movement and stillness, an extremely strange picture is formed.

Then Qi Xuansu saw that the two of them were fighting.

They were not afraid of the tornado pillars that connected the heavens and the earth, and wandered between the thunder rays, cutting off the wind pillars and thunder lights. Countless frozen rubble was shattered by the aftermath of their fight, and the ripples visible to the naked eye spread, even breaking the stagnant state of part of the mountain, causing it to fall downward.

The scene in front of him actually corresponded to the scene in Qi Xuansu's memory, but it didn't completely correspond, because in the dream realm, it was the wind pillar and the thunder light that coexisted, and it was very close to the Deling Mountain, at this time, there was only thunder light, there was no wind pillar, and the key Lingshan was still quite a distance.

What really happened in between?

Why did the position of these two people change?

Where did those huge pillars of wind go? Is it still near Lingshan? Or has it disappeared?

Qi Xuansu raised his hand and pointed at the two figures and asked, "Who are they?"

Although the momentum of these two figures is very large, they have no real power, and are more similar to the projection of the earth's qi backtracking.

To Qi Xuansu's surprise, Qi Jiaoyao really recognized it: "The figure that controls the soul fire should be Wu Zhen, and the figure that uses sword qi should be the son of the Ancestral Heavenly Master."

"It's them." Qi Xuansu only felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

Ancestor Heavenly Master is a Second Tribulation Immortal, who has been alive for more than 200 years, less than 300 years, such a long time, so that he can not only give birth to an heir when his cultivation is low, but also watch his son turn into a white-haired old man. At this time, the Heavenly Master was not young anymore, and his cultivation was also extremely high, and even soon after the Ancestral Heavenly Master ascended, the Heavenly Master also followed the ascension with the limit, and quickly transitioned to the third generation of the Heavenly Master.

is the so-called father and son soldiers, so it is reasonable.

Qi Jiaoyao asked, "You seem to have seen such a scene?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Yes, indeed

Yes, but in a dream."

"In a dream?" Qi Jiaoyao was a little surprised.

Qi Xuansu said vaguely: "I have been to Lingshan Mountain in a dream, I saw a fire on the top of the mountain, and I saw a lot of ruined temples and remains, it is precisely because of these dreams that I want to come to Lingshan Cave Heaven to find out."

Qi Jiaoyao became more and more surprised: "Tianyuan, are you really here?"

"Or else?" Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically.

Qi Jiaoyao said, "I thought you made up an excuse to fool me."

Qi Xuansu said, "How can I have such leisure."

Without giving Qi Jiaoyao time to express his feelings, Qi Xuansu continued: "But in my dream, these two photos should be near Lingshan, and there are huge wind pillars around."

Qi Jiaoyao said casually, "What's so strange about this, it's nothing more than that the collapse of the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven has further deepened, causing them to shift from the position of the Wind Pillar."

Qi Xuansu thought about it, it was really such a reason, the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" should be a product of the Yao Ancestor era, and now more than a hundred years have passed since the Yao Ancestor era, which is enough to make many changes in the Lingshan Cave Heaven.

However, Qi Xuansu had another question, why did these two leave the projection? What does this mean?

Qi Xuansu had the idea of giving it a try, and asked Qi Jiaoyao the question in his heart.

Qi Jiaoyao may not be able to solve all of Qi Xuansu's doubts, but he can always point to the point: "This means that the place where Wu Zhen was buried may have been shifted, from near Lingshan to a place not far from us, but I don't know if it was caused by the changes in the Lingshan Cave Heaven, or if someone did it intentionally."

Qi Xuansu once again observed the approximate distance between the projection and the two of them with his eyesight, and roughly estimated that there should be about two days to go.

Then Qi Xuansu didn't say anything more and continued to move forward.

Soon, the two left this ancient battlefield, and there were more and more cracks in the surrounding space, dividing everything, like the white clouds in the sky that had been cut, the earth that was torn apart, the giant mountains that were broken and collapsed, and the big rivers that were cut off, as if the totem temple with only some foundations left on the ground was erased, constituting a depressed and dilapidated scene, silently telling the tragedy of the war.

This made Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao's travel speed even slower, not only could they not fly or run wildly, but they even had to slow down their walking speed to avoid or bypass some overly tricky spatial cracks.

After walking like this for about a day, after the two of them avoided a blood moon in the ruins of a temple, a huge lake of blood appeared in front of them, although the lake had dried up, revealing the silt at the bottom of the lake, deep red and almost black, but it could still be seen that it had been filled with blood.

How much blood would it take?

Qi Jiaoyao said, "This was once the blood sacrifice place of the Witch Cult, and it was filled with the blood of countless desolate beasts. You should know that the great witches in our Dao Gate are called ancestral witches in the witch cult, and the great witches under the ancestral witches must enter the Lingshan Cave Heaven by ascending through the blood sacrifice ceremony. However, when the Heavenly Master Sect attacked the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, the Witch Sect broke this rule, allowing a large number of Wu clans who were not great witches to enter this place, in order to improve the combat power of these Wu clans, the high-level Wu Sect opened up this blood lake here, and carried out a large number of simplified blood sacrifice rituals, countless Wu clans entered the blood lake, soaked in it, and let the blood of the desolate beasts soak into their bodies, obtain some of the characteristics of the desolate beasts, and greatly increase their combat power."

Qi Xuan knew it, but the blood of so many desolate beasts gathered here also caused this place to become very weird, and the murderous intentions of countless desolate beasts lingered, frantically eroding the souls of those who came here.

If you are a person who is not cultivated enough, as soon as you get closer, you will feel that the blood in front of you is red, and there is a roar of thousands of beasts in your ears, and you will be pulled into a blood-colored ocean where countless blood-colored beast shadows swim, dissolving everything, dissolving everything, and finally going crazy and falling into it, becoming a part of this invisible blood-colored ocean.

However, Qi Xuan has always had the unity of the soul and flesh of the martial arts, and he was not afraid of these remnants of the divine soul, so he deliberately glanced at Qi Jiaoyao again.

Qi Jiaoyao understood, reached out and knocked on the bronze mask on his face, indicating that he was fine.

Qi Xuansu asked, "We're going to cross this lake?"

Qi Jiaoyao said, "Otherwise? Since you're not afraid of the remnants of the infestation here, why should we take a detour? This lake has the fewest spatial cracks."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Will there be any danger?"

"You have to ask this, where is it not dangerous to enter the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven? If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't, run, if you want to be safe, don't come to Lingshan Cave Heaven." Qi Jiaoyao said.

Qi Xuansu couldn't refute and walked forward.

The lake of blood was dry, a little like a swamp when stepped on on the silt, and some like some kind of flesh and blood, sticky and soft, and seemed to squirm.

If you stand in one place for a long time, you will feel like you are sinking.

Suddenly, Qi Xuansu was in a trance in front of him, as if he had entered the state where he had just come to the Lingshan Cave Heaven, the last time he saw the two armies of the Heavenly Master Sect and the Ancient Witch Sect facing each other, this time he saw another scene.

At this time, the blood lake has not dried up, but there is no witch clan in it, only endless blood water, the entire blood lake is like a big bowl, the blood in the bowl is shaking, and it seems that it will overflow out of the bowl at any time.

Then a man came to the top of the blood lake, couldn't see the exact face, and planted a seed that seemed to be catkins.

When the seed falls into the lake, it immediately sinks to the bottom and disappears into the boiling blood.

Such a large blood lake, such a small seed, not to mention looking for a needle in a haystack, is not much different.

Surprisingly, however, the water level of the Blood Lake began to fall, a process that may have lasted for years, but eventually the Blood Lake dried up completely, revealing the silt at the bottom of the lake.

That is, in the midst of the silt, a young shoot breaks through the soil and grows vigorously, becoming a willow seedling.

Immediately afterwards, the figure that sowed catkins appeared again, uprooting the seedlings with great magical powers, and I don't know where they went, leaving only the blood lake here that had completely dried up.
