At this moment, the Luo Ling clan immediately understood the meaning of Yiqi's words.

What these fierce beasts are asking for is actually nothing else, it is the divine aura that gradually penetrates into the spiritual veins when the mountain gods and earth are combing through the earth veins and spiritual veins.

The so-called 'the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual'. In other words, 'the mountains are not high, but there are gods and spirits'. Mountains and rivers that are guarded by gods are very different from mountains and rivers that are not guarded by gods.

As mentioned earlier, when Lingyun Road encountered fierce beasts, he saw the spiritual light shining in the mountains and rivers in the distance with his divine eyes, and he had a thought of wanting to visit at that time, but later he was afraid of causing disaster to those gods, so he dispelled this idea.

The key is this spiritual light, this spiritual light is the divine light born from the gods stationed in the mountains and rivers, their own divine power penetrating into the mountains, regulating the operation of the earth's leylines and spiritual veins, combing the earth's qi and creating spiritual shows.

This light shines through all things, and the spirit shines. For the creation of heaven and earth, the natural spirit is of great benefit. Even after the mountain gods are strong enough to a certain extent, this aura is of great benefit to the natural creatures living in the mountains and rivers. This aura born from divinity is almost like the soul of a mountain. Mountains and rivers with or without divine aura are just as it is with or without a soul in life.

The spiritual veins extracted by the ferocious beasts are all contained in something that can probably be called 'divine aura'.

Understanding the purpose of the fierce beast, the Shui Ling clan immediately said to Ling Yun: "If it is a divine aura, then what do they want to do with the help of this divine aura?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these fierce beasts should be using these divine aura to mend something!" Yiqi closed his eyes, and after opening them, he said to the Shui Ling clan and another taciturn chaos god beside him: "When we first came down, His Majesty Taiyi told us that the source of the accident was in the Nine Shadows Land, and we couldn't enter the Nine Shadows, so we couldn't know what we were repairing for the time being. ”

"So ......"

"We should now figure out how they used to send the divine aura, earth veins, spiritual veins, and those killed gods and brute beasts, desolate beasts and divine beasts to the bottom of the Nine Shadows!"

"Does it matter?"

"It has a lot to do with it, and other things are easy to say, but the divine aura is not useful for fierce beasts, but for demon gods and evil gods, this thing is highly poisonous. Divine aura is a thing that is produced by the communication between God and nature, with the creation of nature, for evil gods and demon gods, this thing can be polluted, but it can never be directly absorbed. ”

Speaking of this, a solemn gaze stared at the earth, and an obvious decision could be heard in his tone: "Therefore, we need to know what means the fierce beasts use to use the divine aura, and even how they send the divine aura to the bottom of the Nine Shadows that is absolutely unreachable. ”

Since the beasts are grabbing things that belong to the gods, then it depends on what these beasts want to do with these things.

Following this clue, Yiqi and the Shui Ling clan pursued along with the Chaos God who had been silent.

Whenever they went to a place, they would first probe it, compare the differences, and calculate in detail. Finally found a different place in one place.

This is a barren mountain range, where there are traces of fire, and the whole mountain range is completely depleted. The leylines and other veins in the earth have been completely depleted.

Yes, it's depleted, it's not extracted.

The mountains and rivers encountered earlier were all extracted from the leylines and spiritual veins, but this small mountain range was not caused by the lack of vitality caused by the extraction of the leylines and spiritual veins, but the leylines and spiritual veins were completely depleted.

Seeing this different scene, the three of them were immediately shocked, carefully probed in the mountains, and finally found a trace in a mountain col.

Yiqi immediately took out a spirit rune and passed the news he got here to Ling Yun on the other side of the temple.

On the heavenly dome, Ling Yun, who got the news, pinched the one in his hand, and not long after, Ling Yun's Xia God clone broke through the air, and his whole mind descended on this doppelganger.

Seeing Lingyun's Xia Shen clone coming, he said to him in a fit of anger: "Brother Dao is here!"

"Without further ado, where!" Lingyun presided over Xia Shen's clone and came to Yiqi, who pointed out the scene in the mountain col to him.

"This is ......" Ling Yun looked carefully, and could see that there seemed to be a fire burning in the mountain col, and it seemed that the entire valley had been refined, and the surrounding mountain walls had been refined into a glazed color by the fire. The mountains seem to be covered with glass, shining in the sunlight.

Although it is a doppelganger of the Xia God, the primordial gods of Lingyun himself have all come, of course, with all the priesthood. Seeing such a scene in the mountain col, Ling Yun immediately took up the historical priesthood and traced the scenes that happened in the past.

Lingyun unfolded the round light mirror, showing the past scenes in the valley in the round light mirror. After a flicker of the scene in the round mirror, the old scene was revealed.

A group of fierce beasts gathered, and a stone platform was erected in the col, which was not exquisite, and had a rough style. There are gods placed on the stone platform, and after counting them carefully, there are more than thirty gods, and there is a corpse of a divine beast next to it.

The gods were unconscious, and I don't know why. Immediately after, a raging fire ignited from nowhere, and instantly swept away the corpses of gods and beasts on the stone platform. Look at the flame black, red, black and red, a picture of evil spirit, people can know at a glance that it is not a good thing.

As the flames burned, the col surrounded by mountains was soon filled with flames, becoming a veritable fire pit.

On the surrounding hills, fierce beasts continued to throw shining spiritual light, like dragons and snakes, into the fire pit.

As one thing threw itself into the flames, a strange tone recited an eulogy that I didn't know what it meant. With that eerie, chilling eulogy, the things in the flames churned for a while, and then turned into a faint puff of green smoke, wafting into the void.

Such a scene reminded Ling Yun of the ancient sacrificial ritual.

The ancients often sacrificed some or all of their belongings in the form of sacrifices to express feelings of loyalty, gratitude, repentance, and trust to a great being, and to pray for the great being to fulfill some of their wishes.

Isn't this scene very similar to the ritual of sacrifice?

Looking at the scene in the mirror, Ling Yun frowned. And Yiqi and the others of the Luo Ling clan all looked angry, eager to rush over and kill those fierce beasts.

However, the scene in front of them is just a reappearance of the past, which is already in the past, and they are powerless to change anything.

As the picture in the mirror continued, Ling Yun and the others saw that after the sacrificial items were burned, the green smoke went straight into the dark void. After a while, a black qi suddenly seeped out of the void and enveloped the fierce beast at the head.

Seeing the black qi seeping out of the void, Ling Yun's eyes narrowed.

"Sure enough, it's a sacrificial ceremony!"

Yiqi and the Luo Ling Clan looked at Ling Yun, and Yiqi frowned and asked, "What is the sacrificial ceremony?"

Ling Yun explained to the three of Yiqi and the Shui Ling clan what he knew about the 'sacrifice': "The so-called sacrificial ritual refers to the use of sacrifices to express feelings of loyalty, gratitude, and repentance to a certain great being, and to pray for the great being to fulfill some of its wishes. The sacrifices used in such rituals can be objects, so to speak, or they can be living beings. It should be said that if it is an item with power, it is the best sacrifice to be used for sacrifice!"

Because all powerful transcendent beings can receive sacrifices, such as the Ichiki and the Ryū clan, which are gods, if someone sacrifices to them, they can receive the power of sacrifice. But it is difficult to say whether this sacrifice will be reciprocated.

The greater the being, the more it cannot be reciprocated. Of course, this is only relatively. For example, the world itself, if you sacrifice an ordinary cow and sacrifice an immortal god in the realm of Da Luo, the one who gets a response must be the one who sacrifices Da Luo, and the one who sacrifices an ordinary cow will definitely not get a response.

These fierce beasts gathered here, obviously using these gods, divine beasts, earth veins and spirit veins and other items as sacrifices to a great being in the underworld in exchange for power.

Thinking of all what Taiyi said, and all the causal guidance pointed to the Nine Shadows, Ling Yun and Yi Qi invariably thought of the existence of the four Demon Ancestors.

The two glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. Ling Yun knew that he was thinking of it with himself.

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said to Yiqi: "At this time, it is extremely important, Brother Dao stays on the earth to investigate carefully, and must investigate clearly whether these actions of the fierce beast are a sacrifice to that existence, I will go back to the sky first, and report this matter to His Majesty Taiyi and His Royal Highness the Five Emperors!"

"I see!"

Ling Yun was about to leave, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Yiqi and the three of them, "Oh, by the way, since you know that they are sacrifices, if you encounter them, you must stop them." If you encounter a community of fierce beasts, you can issue an edict from His Majesty Taiyi to the surrounding gods, asking them to encircle and suppress the fierce beasts!"

"I'll pass this on to everyone!" said Ichiki with a nod.

Ling Yun nodded, and this summer god clone suddenly dispersed, and the entire body merged into heaven and earth. His primordial spirit returned to the body directly through the connection between the doppelganger and the deity.

His primordial spirit was withdrawn from the clone, and as soon as he returned to his main body, Ling Yun couldn't wait to leave his temple and report the information to Taiyi and the others.
