When the shell in her bosom vibrated again, Mo Tiange stopped to adjust her breath. "We can go out now."
Qin Xi nodded then called everyone to leave the Virtual Sky World together.
After three days of rest, everyone had recovered.
After all, the spiritual beasts weren't strong. After going through this bitter battle, they were more or less injured, so Mo Tiange didn't take them with her.
Dao Lord Lingxi consumed the Nine Revolutions Yang Return Elixir and temporarily controlled his injuries.
Not long after they left the Virtual Sky World, they saw several flight lights flying towards them.
When they arrived in front of them, the conveyance light dissipated, revealing three figures: Xuan Miao in a blue palace dress, Xuan Yue in black, and Ni Qi who looked honest but was actually cunning.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, Fellow Daoist Qin, long time no see." Xuan Miao smiled at the two of them.
"Long time no see. The Third Princess looks even more elegant than before." Mo Tiange smiled back then nodded towards Xuan Yue and Ni Qi. "Second Prince, Fellow Daoist Ni."
Xuan Yue and Ni Qi only faintly returned the greeting and didn't overstep Xuan Miao in the slightest. This made Mo Tiange feel that Xuan Miao's position as the monarch's successor had probably been stabilized.
Both sides introduced themselves to each other and greeted each other. "Fellow daoists, I already know why you've come. I'll tell you the truth. The Qilin Sacrificial Temple is in our hands. It is for this reason that the Xumi Sea and the Returning Ruins Sea have fought for so many years. Otherwise, we would have never left the Xumi Sea after listening to Great Ancestor's warning."
"Third Princess." Since Xuan Miao was so frank, Mo Tiange also spoke with sincerity. "We indeed came for the Qilin Sacrificial Temple, but unlike what Fellow Daoist Bailing thought, we didn't come to snatch the Qilin's relic. Other people might not understand this reason, but Third Princess is very clear about it.
We've always kept in mind what Senior Hu Po entrusted to us. We've already found the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise temples. Now, there's only the Qilin left.
Since the Qilin Sacrificial Temple is already in Third Princess's hands, I hope Third Princess will allow us to enter together. "
Xuan Miao smiled and nodded. "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. We don't dare to forget the words of the Divine Monarch and Great Ancestor. Fellow Daoist, feel free to enter the Qilin Sacrificial Temple. We won't stop you.
But … "
Upon seeing the confusion on her face, Mo Tiange said, "Third Princess, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."
Xuan Miao said, "We did find the Qilin Sacrificial Temple, but the entrance seems to be blocked. We haven't been able to enter, so we can't say whether we can enter or not."
Mo Tiange was stunned. "Oh?"
This matter couldn't be explained clearly, so Xuan Miao straightforwardly said, "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. You'll understand once you take a look."
Then, Xuan Miao turned around and brought Xuan Yue and Ni Qi down to the sea.
"Junior Martial Sister Qingwei, can they be trusted?"
Daolord Rhinoceros was somewhat hesitant. Judging from their conversation just now, they seemed to be very familiar with each other and their words were filled with trust. This left Daolord Rhinoceros in disbelief.
Over the past few days, he had witnessed the unconditional trust between their friends. It was already rare to have such a friend, let alone a group of them. Now, they even had a demonic cultivator?
Qin Xi said, "Junior Martial Brother Lingxi, there's a karma between us and these Fellow Daoists, so in this matter, they're trustworthy."
With this in mind, Lord Daolord Lingxi immediately recalled the words "Senior Amber" and "Divine Lord and Great Ancestor" that Mo Tiange and Xuan Miao mentioned just now, so she didn't say anything more.
Everyone followed behind Xuan Miao and dived into the sea.
Xuan Miao and the others were demonic cultivators in the sea. Once they entered the sea, they were like fish in water. She led them forward quickly and soon reached the bottom of a small island.
Facing a stone wall, Xuan Miao raised her hand and pointed at it. The stone wall shook and moved away without a sound.
Xuan Miao gestured for them to enter then led Xuan Yue and Ni Qi inside.
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi followed without hesitation. Jing Xingzhi and the others followed closely behind them.
Everyone entered and the stone wall closed.
This was an underwater cave. The dark space was brightly and beautifully illuminated by the luminous pearls.
The strange thing was that there was no seawater inside the cave; it was like dry land.
"Greetings to the third princess, the second prince, Elder Ni, and all the honored guests." Several eighth rank demonic cultivators guarding the cave stepped forward and saluted them upon seeing them.
Xuan Miao nodded slightly and the others saluted back.
"Fellow Daoists, it's here." Xuan Miao pointed at a towering door.
This door was made of bluestone and was carved from boulders. It was towering, dignified, and imposing.
The two stone doors were carved with lifelike Qilins, emitting a majestic aura.
"Qilin's aura …" Mo Tiange said softly.
Since there was such a pure Qilin's aura, this was definitely the Qilin Sacrificial Temple.
It was funny. Ever since she discovered the Azure Dragon Sacrificial Temple when she was in the Foundation Building realm, she had never entered the Four Spirits Sacrificial Temple from the main entrance.
The Azure Dragon Sacrificial Temple was another entrance. The Vermilion Bird was built into an underground palace by the Ice Palace. The White Tiger was embedded in the West Mountain Range. The Black Tortoise was also from another entrance … Until the Qilin Sacrificial Temple, she finally saw the main entrance!
This is a really exciting thing.
"We've thought of all kinds of methods, but we couldn't open it," Xuan Miao said.
"But Fellow Daoists don't need to worry. It's only been a few days. We can slowly think of a way."
"Fellow Daoist, you're right. We …" Mo Tiange was about to say something when the mighty Qilin's aura suddenly soared into the sky. It was as if something had rushed out of the sacrificial temple.
Everyone was shocked. Such a strong Qilin's aura … What happened?
"Hehe." A chuckle rang in everyone's ears. The voice seemed far but was actually close. It was as if it was right next to their ears. "After waiting for so many years, someone finally came?"
A man's voice, which was neither loud nor deep, sounded leisurely and leisurely.
Xuan Miao's expression changed. She shouted, "Who are you?
Come out quickly! Don't play tricks on us! "
"Little girl, don't be so hot-tempered," the man said, "Even your great-great-great-grandfather wouldn't talk to me like this."
"Ah …" Xuan Miao was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Alas, young people nowadays … Don't they know how to respect their elders?" The man seemed to be talking to himself. His voice was obviously very young, but his tone was arrogant.
"May I ask which senior you are?" Qin Xi raised his voice and asked, "Senior, since you've waited for so many years, you probably aren't playing tricks on us, right?"
The voice paused for a moment and said with a hint of a smile, "Young people are indeed impatient.
Alright, alright, I'll let you in. "
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the Qilin door seemed to be touched by something and slowly opened.
The dozen or so people present looked at each other, but no one dared to step in.
"What? Don't you have the guts?" the voice teased.
Xuan Miao clenched her teeth and took the lead to walk out.
"Miao Miao!" Xuan Yue was startled and called her.
Xuan Miao raised her head and said, "This is the Qilin Sacrificial Temple. We're the descendants of Qilin. Don't tell me we don't dare to go in?" After she said that, she flapped her clothes and steadily walked in.
Xuan Yue was stunned and sighed in disappointment.
He finally knew why he was inferior to his third sister.
"Let's go," Qin Xi said, "With this senior's strength, he doesn't need to do anything unnecessary to deal with us." He also walked in.
A group of more than ten cultivators silently walked into the Qilin Sacrificial Temple.
The wide stone path was filled with the vigorous breath of Qilin, which made Mo Tiange deeply feel that although they were all divine beasts, the five spirits had extremely powerful strength. The Qilin's breath she obtained from the amber couldn't move at all under this kind of spiritual aura.
The end of the stone path suddenly opened, and the Qilin Main Hall was in front of everyone.
As soon as they approached, the door of the hall slowly opened, and a voice came from close at hand. "Welcome, little friends."
As soon as they entered the Qilin Main Hall, everyone was dumbfounded.
The main hall was no different from the other worship temples. The only difference was that the statue of a majestic qilin was in the position of the statue.
The strange thing was that the side of the statue seemed to be connected to another space. There were no huge stone walls, but instead, there were green mountains, clear water, and gurgling water.
There was a chess table next to the pool, and on top of it was a strange chess set with colorful patterns. Mo Tiange recognized at a glance that it was a formation diagram.
Next to the chess table, a person was sitting on his knees with a gorgeous feathered spiritual bird in his hand. He was looking at them with a leisurely smile.
This person looked young, no more than thirty years old. His eyebrows were very plain and couldn't be considered handsome, but his whole body was full of a kind of natural and unrestrained temperament. With just a glance, people would feel that he was extraordinary.
But the most frightening thing was the breath on his body. It was like a deep abyss and calm sea, rising but not releasing.
"Senior is …" Mo Tiange couldn't breathe. "A Deification cultivator?"
The person smiled and said leisurely, "You're the junior Chi Ling?
I have his breath on you. "
Chi Ling was Zhong Muling's Daoist name.
Mo Tiange took a deep breath then bowed to greet him. "Junior Mo Tiange greets Senior."
Upon hearing what she said, the others also came to their senses and saluted one after another. Ling Yunhe, Lord Daoist Lingxi, and the others were especially excited. This was their first time seeing a legendary Deification cultivator!
Xuanyue, Xuanmiao, and the others also saluted respectfully. First, it was because their respect for Deification cultivators had nothing to do with the Zhong Clan. Second, it was because this Deification cultivator seemed to know their ancestor.
"No need to be so polite." The person smiled and stroked the bird next to his hand.
After everyone stood up, Mo Tiange asked respectfully, "May I know Senior's name and why you're in the Qilin Sacrificial Temple?"
The person let go of the bird in his hand, letting it fly away before answering, "My name is Han Quan. I'm currently on duty in the Qilin Sacrificial Temple."
This answer stunned Mo Tiange. "On duty?"
Han Quan nodded with a smile. "Correct.
Since ten thousand years ago, there have been Deification cultivators guarding the Qilin Sacrificial Temple. They take turns to be on duty every thousand years. "
"Ah …" Nie Wushang whispered, "So, all the Deification cultivators know what we've done?"
Her sharp reaction drew Han Quan's admiring gaze. "You're not wrong to say that."
His words shocked them.
They all know?
Does that mean people have already been to the other Four Spirits Sacrificial Temples?
If that's the case, why did they still get the divine beasts' inheritance?
Was it necessary for them to search for the truth?
Xuanmiao was stunned for a long time. All of a sudden, she shouted excitedly, "That being the case, why didn't you go to my Divine Lord Great Ancestor?
You're Deification cultivators, so you're much stronger than us. Why didn't you lend him a helping hand?
Senior, you said you knew one of my ancestors, right?
Could it be that he also didn't want to ask his own ancestor for help? "
