Chapter 1390: Sacrificial Ceremony (Part 2) Chapter 1390: Sacrificial Ceremony (Part 2) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She shook her head and said, “Originally, the Soul Race was only a small race in the Western Region. However, because they can activate this altar, they have become stronger and stronger over the past ten thousand years. Their techniques are also extremely special. They even have a half-step Creation realm expert among them. When other experts visit them, they have to be very careful!” “The Soul Race has also changed the cycle to activate the altar from once in a thousand years to once in a hundred years!” “As for this time…” She counted with her fingers and said, “It’ll be the twelfth time it is activated in a few days!” Ye Chen frowned slightly when he heard Beigong Ziyu’s words. “Can’t the Soul Race activate the altar themselves?” This way, they can rapidly increase the combat strength of their race’s martial artists!” “Hahaha!” “They want to, but they can’t do it alone!” Beigong Ziyu looked proud as she stared at Ye Chen. She said calmly, “To activate the altar, you need a hundred Primordial Chaos-grade artifacts as a medium. At the same time, you need all kinds of rare treasures, special soul fruits, and so on. The total value is even more than a space-time artifact!” Space-time artifacts were artifacts used by Creation realm experts. It is forged using space-time laws, which were a fusion of temporal and spatial laws. Its value far exceeded Dao Integration-grade artifacts. Even the weakest space-time artifact was ten times stronger than the strongest Dao Integration-grade artifact! “So many things!” “Naturally, the Soul Race can’t gather all of them. Therefore, the ten major forces, the Myriad Swords Palace, and the Divine Dragon family will have to fund it together!” “Each altar activation has a hundred allocated spots, and the Beigong family has seven of these spots.” “The other nine major forces each have seven spots, while the remaining thirty spots will be controlled by the Myriad Swords Palace and the Divine Dragon family!” The altar was equivalent to a treasure that could rapidly increase one’s cultivation level on a large scale. Therefore, the various sects and families cooperated to activate the treasure. The Soul Race was only the one who activated it, but was not the owner of the altar! “Seven spots!” “Myriad Swords Palace, thirty spots…” Ye Chen suddenly remembered that Lan Xueyue was the seventh elder of the Myriad Swords Palace. However, that was 50,000 years ago! As for now, he was uncertain as to whether the Myriad Swords Palace was a friend or foe. Ye Chen sent his consciousness into the Samsara Graveyard, and then began to communicate with Lan Xueyue. “Master, do you need me to investigate the Myriad Swords Palace?” “After all, fifty thousand years ago, you were trapped in a desperate situation and couldn’t escape. Could someone have deliberately framed you?” “Not necessarily. Back then, I entered the Nine Deathlands in order to find a stalk of Ice Hundred Soul Herb!” “I think it was fate that I was trapped in the end. However, help me secretly investigate how the Myriad Swords Palace has been coming along all these years.” Lan Xueyue stood with his hands behind his back and thought for a long time. Myriad Swords Palace… As a high-tier sect, it had a Star Aperture realm expert! As long as they did not provoke the top-tier family or sect like the Divine Dragon family, Holy Dragon family, and so on, they had nothing to fear in the Lingwu Continent, and it was unlikely that something would happen to them. ‘I can have Ye Chen find out the people in the sect who have been in the past fifty thousand years miss me or hate me!’ Back then, Lan Xueyue was an outstanding talent of the younger generation. He had broken through to the middle stage of the Creation realm in a very short period of time. He could be said to be among the top elites of the Lingwu Continent, and if he had not been trapped, he might have even reached the Star Aperture realm, or even the Sealed Gate realm! In the end, he was trapped in the Nine Deathlands, and his true body could not come out for 50,000 years. It seemed that there were no Creation realm elders of the Myriad Swords Palace coming to save him. As such, he wanted to see if they were unwilling or afraid to save him. After all, that was the only thing he was curious about. “Alright, Master. I’ll investigate the Myriad Swords Palace with regards to that matter!” Ye Chen’s consciousness then returned to his main body. “Since it’s an altar, it probably requires the sacrifice of some living beings, right?” Ye Chen asked. “Yes. The lives of ten genius young girls must be sacrificed to activate it, as only they have complete Yin essence,” Beigong Ziyu sighed and said helplessly, “Moreover, the Soul Race will use their divine souls as a medium to activate the altar. Otherwise, the others will have to die.” “These young girls are from lowly backgrounds. You can’t save them, so don’t pity them.” “Otherwise, not only will you be in danger, but even my Beigong family will be in grave danger!” After all, this sacrificial ceremony involved ten middle-tier sects and families, in addition to a high-tier sect and a top-tier family. Unless one was a Sealed Gate realm expert, one would not be able to handle such a lineup. Moreover, people were dying every day in the Lingwu Continent, so he could not save them all. Unfortunately, this was the way the world worked. The weak would be trampled on by the strong. Ye Chen snorted coldly and did not say anything else. Since they were not related, he did not have any reason to act. At most, he would refrain from participating. “Master, let’s go back to Ancient Spirit City first!” “We’ll set off in seven days. Four days should be enough to reach our destination!” Beigong Ziyu looked up at Ye Chen and said quietly, “Master, you should have used a Primordial Chaos-grade artifact to break through, right?” “Yes. There’s still a portion of the power of the spatial laws in my body. I think I’ll reach the peak of the ninth level of the Semi Divine realm very soon. As for my body refining cultivation, I should be able to catch up if I consume more pills!” At the moment, Ye Chen’s spiritual cultivation level was higher than his body refining cultivation level. In the past, it was always the other way around, but things had changed. Currently, it was not easy for Ye Chen to surpass his level in combat. The reason why Ye Chen could surpass his level in combat before this was largely due to the strength of his physical body. If his physical body was weak, he would not be able to withstand the attacks of others, let alone counterattack. “Okay. There are some secret manuals here. Master, please take a look!” “These are all about body refining cultivation!” Beigong Ziyu took out many jade scrolls and handed them to Ye Chen. She said, “Master used a seventh or eighth-grade Primordial Chaos-grade artifact to break through. How extravagant! Back then, when I broke through to the Divine Realm, I only used a first-grade Primordial Chaos-grade artifact!” “The more powerful the Primordial Chaos-grade artifact is, the stronger your body and cultivation will be, and the more powerful you will be. Master, it’s obvious that you haven’t completely stabilized your cultivation foundation.” “I reckon that Master’s strength will increase greatly when we reach the Soul Race’s territory.” Ye Chen took the jade scrolls and nodded slightly. He still had a lot of room for improvement! Soon after, he returned to his room and began to refine the remaining power of the spatial laws in his body. He wanted to integrate it into the Nirvana Great Dao, as it would increase its power significantly. It had to be said that very few people grasped traces of the spatial laws in the Semi Divine realm, which would give Ye Chen a large advantage over those in the same realm.
