At the end of the karst cave, several bluestones were scattered messily. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the karst cave was cut off by a stone wall. Someone must have broken the stone wall to connect the two places.
The four of them passed through the hole in the stone wall and stepped on a spacious stone path.
"Where are we?" Jing Xingzhi looked around.
If it was just a guess, Mo Tiange was now sure that this must be a sacrificial temple.
Heavy boulders were neatly piled up to form a stone wall.
The wall was smooth, simple, and deep, carrying an ancient aura.
When they stood on the stone path, the vast murderous aura drowned them. Everyone felt their blood boiling as if someone was beating a drum in their heart, making their blood boil.
Jing Xingzhi's flying sword was jumping and even made a clear whistling sound.
Mo Tiange felt something moving inside the spiritual beast bag. It seemed to be Feifei.
She used her divine sense to say, "Feifei?"
"Let me out!" Feifei's anxious voice rang in her mind. "Let me out!"
Mo Tiange hesitated for a moment then opened the spiritual beast bag.
In any case, Jing Xingzhi and Nie Wushang had seen Feifei before.
As soon as the bag was opened, Feifei immediately jumped out, raised its head, and sniffed.
"Feifei?" Mo Tiange didn't understand. What was it doing?
"White Tiger's Breath! This is the White Tiger's Breath!" Feifei beamed with joy.
White Tiger's Breath … It seemed this was really the White Tiger Sacrificial Temple?
Mo Tiange looked at Nie Wushang and decided to be frank. "Fellow Daoist Nie, is this place worshiping one of the four spirits, the White Tiger?"
Nie Wushang looked surprised. "How did you know?"
"You said so?"
Nie Wushang nodded. "Yes, this place indeed worships the White Tiger."
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect to bump into the White Tiger Sacrificial Temple like this.
Nie Wushang looked at them and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"I know a little."
Jing Xingzhi pressed down his flying sword and looked at Qin Xi inquiringly. "Is it related to the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple in Returning Ruins Sea?"
"Yes."
They had revealed some of this to Jing Xingzhi, but they didn't say too much. "Our guess is that this is the White Tiger Sacrificial Temple. Just like the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple, it enshrines one of the five spirits."
Jing Xingzhi looked at Nie Wushang then at them. "How much do you know about this matter?"
"Let me tell you." Mo Tiange took over the conversation. "This matter has to start from when I built my foundation …"
After spending about an hour, Mo Tiange roughly explained the sequence of events, including the divine beast's remains and the Prime Devil Stone Stele.
Jing Xingzhi had participated in the entire Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple experience. When the time came, he would know.
Besides, this wasn't some secret matter, and it wasn't a fated chance that couldn't be shared. Whether it was Jing Xingzhi or Nie Wushang, they were both trustworthy people.
"So that's how it came to be …" Jing Xingzhi thought for a while, then suddenly beamed with joy. "Last time it was the Vermillion Bird Sacrificial Temple. Qin Shou happened to be cultivating a fire-attribute cultivation method, so he obtained a lucky chance. This time it's the White Tiger. It seems I'm lucky."
"Humph!" Feifei coldly snorted, "Do you think I'm dead?"
Of course, only Mo Tiange heard what he said.
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Jing, we still don't know whether this is the White Tiger Sacrificial Temple or not. Aren't you happy too early?"
"I'll be happy first. In any case, I won't lose anything." Jing Xingzhi stroked his flying sword with a smile.
He didn't believe he was so unlucky. The Vermillion Bird Sacrificial Temple was fine, but he couldn't compete with Qin Shou. Now it was the White Tiger. Among the four people present, he was the only one related to the metal element. Now, no one could compete with him, right?
Feifei once again gave him a contemptuous look.
Its action was too obvious, so Jing Xingzhi noticed it. He pointed at it and said, "Mo Qingwei, why did you release the spiritual beast?
Although this little guy is smart, it doesn't have any skills. "
"Squeak!" Feifei glared at him angrily, its hair standing on end.
Mo Tiange patted Feifei's head comfortingly and said, "We'd better leave quickly. There's a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator here. If we delay, something unexpected might happen."
"You're right."
Her words reminded Nie Wushang. "I remember that my master once set up an ambush here. If someone came in, he'd know."
Jing Xingzhi's expression changed slightly. "So you're saying he already knows?"
"If there's no accident."
Nie Wushang glanced at him. "But you don't have to be afraid. Lang Tu Mountain isn't near here. Even if my master wasn't in Closed Door Meditation, he'd still need one or two days to get here. We're fast, so we'd be out by then."
"Your master is on Lang Tu Mountain?" Mo Tiange was surprised.
"Yes." Nie Wushang looked at her strangely, wondering why she was so surprised. "What's wrong?"
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi looked at each other. Both of them felt lucky.
"Since we came to the far west, our targets are the three great danger zones. First, we'll go to Fallen God Abyss, then Fengsha City.
Fortunately, we didn't go to Lang Tu Mountain first. Otherwise … "If they ran into Master Song Feng, they'd have to settle their old and new grudges. Mo Tiange wasn't arrogant enough to think she could challenge the number one cultivator in the Celestial Pole just because she formed her Nascent Soul.
"Enough." Jing Xingzhi was impatient. "Since we're pressed for time, why don't we quickly pick up the things and leave?" He took the lead.
After taking two steps, he stopped and turned to Nie Wushang. "There's nothing strange here, right?"
Nie Wushang glanced at him then walked past him. As she walked, she ridiculed him. "Turns out there's a lot of things you're afraid of!"
"You —" Jing Xingzhi was angry. He wanted to say something to save his face, but after thinking about it, he shut his mouth.
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi couldn't help but laugh and followed him.
Whether it was Jing Xingzhi or Nie Wushang, they both had heavy pasts.
One used to be a proud son of heaven, but he fell from a high place and endured more than a hundred years of being ostracized. In the end, he was forced to betray his master. The other was lonely and suffered all kinds of abuse since he was a child. He couldn't even be a real person.
Now that they could joke around unscrupulously like this, they must've gotten rid of their psychological shadow.
As the four people and one beast walked forward, the murderous aura around them became stronger and stronger. In the end, Jing Xingzhi had to hold down his flying sword to control the murderous aura.
Qin Xi was a bit better, but his Three Yang Real Fire Sword was also affected.
Mo Tiange felt strange. "Why is the white tiger's aura so strong?
Whether it's the Azure Dragon or the Vermilion Bird, they wouldn't be like this! "
Qin Xi thought for a moment then said, "It might have something to do with their attributes.
The Azure Dragon is of the wood attribute, gentle and tolerant. The Vermilion Bird is of the fire attribute, warm and soaring.
The white tiger is called a fierce god, but it's actually murderous and ruthless. "
"It might also be because the white tiger's aura here is stronger," Jing Xingzhi interrupted.
"En." Qin Xi nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them.
As the four of them walked closer, the mural engraved on the stone gate gradually became clear.
On the stone gate on the left, there were rows of people wearing animal skins, rows of ancient chariots, and strong warhorses. It was a scene of war.
On the stone gate on the right, the chariots and horses were destroyed, and the ground was covered with corpses. It seemed to be a scene of war.
Mo Tiange shook her head to get rid of the strange feeling and followed them into the main hall.
In the spacious main hall, the towering stone pillars were painted with a mixture of gold and white, extending all the way to the front of a huge stone statue.
Standing in front of the stone statue, a murderous aura assaulted her face.
Its limbs were strong, and it had a pair of wings on its side. Its huge head was raised, and it opened its mouth to roar.
Jing Xingzhi shook his head in disappointment. "Why isn't there a Psychic magic weapon here?"
Mo Tiange collected her thoughts and said, "The Vermilion Bird Bow is in the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple because Ice Palace has it."
"Then where does the white tiger's aura come from?"
Mo Tiange smiled but didn't say anything.
There was no Vermilion Bird bone in the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple because Ice Palace refined it into the Vermilion Bird Bow. The white tiger's aura in the White Tiger Sacrificial Temple was so strong, so the bone should still be there.
"This isn't your purpose, right?" Mo Tiange looked at Nie Wushang.
Nie Wushang said, "Why don't you wait here? I'll be right back."
Cultivation techniques were cultivators' secrets, so Mo Tiange didn't say much. "Go then."
After Nie Wushang left, the three people and one beast looked at each other. In the end, Jing Xingzhi asked, "Where are we going next?"
Mo Tiange shrugged. "How would I know?"
Jing Xingzhi glared at her. "How could you not know?"
The two of them stared at each other for a while before Mo Tiange smiled. "If there are no accidents, the white tiger's bone should be in the sacrificial temple. Let's look for it."
"Then what are we waiting for?
Let's go! "Jing Xingzhi raised his flying sword and was about to leave.
"Wait." Mo Tiange stopped him and pointed at Feifei. "Feifei's here. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Feifei curled its lips and cast a disdainful glance at Jing Xingzhi. It then jumped down from Mo Tiange's shoulder and flew away.
"Let's go!" Mo Tiange called out and followed it.
As they followed Feifei, the white tiger's breath became stronger and stronger. In the end, they rushed into a stone door.
What they saw was a huge white tiger more than a hundred feet long. It was lying quietly on the ground as if it was resting, but it was completely lifeless.
Mo Tiange was stunned to see this scene.
What's going on?
After millions of years, there should only be a skeleton left, just like the Azure Dragon. Why is there a complete white tiger here?
"Feifei?" she called out.
Feifei was also stunned. It stood at her feet, hesitating to go forward.
Upon hearing her call, it scratched its head and said, "Don't ask me. I also don't know what's going on."
Jing Xingzhi was puzzled. "Alive?
Or dead? "
Qin Xi didn't say a word. With a wave of his spiritual aura, the Three Yang Real Fire Sword emitted a sword light that pounced on the white tiger.
"Hey, Qin Shoujing!" Jing Xingzhi shouted.
Qin Xi ignored him. The sword light touched the white tiger's body. It suddenly shone brightly, and a blazing aura hit them in the face.
"What's going on?" Mo Tiange was surprised.
Qin Xi had to exert some force to retract the sword light.
"The white tiger's breath …" His expression changed again and again. In the end, he said, "It seems we can't take this thing away."
"Why?"
Jing Xingzhi looked at him strangely. "No matter how big the white tiger is, we have Qiankun Rings. Why can't we take it away?"
Qin Xi didn't explain. He just said, "Try it."
Jing Xingzhi thought for a moment then pointed his right hand. The sword light also pounced on the white tiger.
In the next moment, his expression changed greatly. He clenched his teeth and retracted the sword light with great difficulty.
Mo Tiange was about to ask when the ground suddenly shook.
"What's going on?"
