Chapter 1779 – Ceremony
After passing through a long corridor and making a large circle, Han Li and the others entered directly into the rear hall without passing through the main hall of the clan temple.
In a hidden chamber in the middle of the hall, there was a white stone staircase that led diagonally into the depths of the underground.
At the entrance to the staircase, several other secret guards vigilantly stood guard there.
Xu Jiao waved his hand, and the guards immediately bowed and stepped back to the sides.
The group entered the somewhat gloomy staircase.
This channel is a bit gloomy, and there are bursts of cold air from below from time to time, and on both sides of every distance, inlaid with a fist-sized moonstone, so that the channel in the aura of darkness and light, shadows, as if the ghosts in general.
Fortunately, the stone steps were not much longer, and after a few moments of effort, the crowd walked out, appearing in a well-designed underground giant hall.
Han Li swept around slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The entire hall was made of a light black jade, covering an area of three to four hundred feet, and the surrounding walls and top were inscribed with complex and mysterious white runes.
These runes flickered with white spiritual light, making the entire hall as bright as day.
But the most eye-catching thing in the hall was an exquisite and unusual pool-like platform in the center.
The platform was in the shape of a hexagonal prism, and was surrounded by a huge legal formation.
And in the high platform, a round pool full of bright red strange liquid, but not the slightest bloody gas, but instead there is a burst of lush fragrance from the pool.
In this huge array, there are more than a dozen Xu family cultivators there to meditate with eyes closed, just the prismatic platform into a circle.
Inside were clearly the Xu Yan and Xu Huo duo that Han Li had seen before.
”Greetings, senior Han, thank you for helping the Xu Family.” These two Xu Family’s Void Refining cultivators, once they saw Han Li appearing in the hall accompanied by Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao, how could they not understand Han Li’s intentions, and immediately got up with great joy, rushing Han Li to salute him from afar.
”Let’s not talk about words of gratitude. Whether or not it can really help a little help, or two things.” Han Li shook his head and said.
Xu Jiao, the Xu Clan patriarch, was not the least bit impressed, but instead waved his hand at the distance, allowing the other Xu Clan cultivators to meet Han Li as well.
These cultivators were both male and female, both in their thirties and forties, as well as old men with snow-white whiskers.
However, every one of them had a cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, and were clearly the true core members of the Xu Family.
And these cultivators have long used awe to peek at Han Li, obviously have long known that this is a merged cultivator, and now listen to their own patriarch’s command, suddenly one by one rise, in unison, to Han Li bowed to worship.
Han Li waved his hand, and then looked towards the blood pool on his own, a look of great interest on his face.
”This is something created according to the records in the Blood Soul Dharma. The spirit liquid in the pool is made from the blood of our Xu Clan clansmen, plus many rare herbs and spirits, mixed and melted. Not only is it one of the things necessary to awaken the blood soul, but it can also use the blood qi in the pool to slow down the speed of the blood soul’s dissipation by one or two.” Xu Yuan said in a low voice from the side.
”So that’s how it is. But the main thing for the awakening ceremony is still the thing underneath the spirit liquid, right? Without this item, even if there is more spiritual liquid in the pool and the spell formation below is more subtle, the Blood Soul Secret Technique will still be difficult to perform!” Han Li’s pupils flickered slightly under a blue aura as he said indifferently.
”Senior’s discerning eyes have already seen it. Underneath that spiritual liquid is our Xu Family’s clan-suppressing treasure, the ‘Blood Crystal Coffin’. Without this item it is impossible to condense the blood body necessary for the Blood Soul to be sent on it.” Xu Yuan’s face changed slightly, but immediately explained as normal.
”Blood Crystal Coffin! Hehehe, I do somewhat understand what this awakening ceremony is all about.” Han Li swept his gaze over the huge spell formation below several times and seemed to recall something at once, and after a moment of contemplation, he gave a smile.
”Senior’s words are true.” Xu Huo and Xu Yan on the side were stunned, obviously not quite believing Han Li’s words.
This awakening ceremony, the Xu Family had utilized the entire clan’s strength just to prepare for the setup, and had spent the better part of a day to get it ready.
Even though the other party was a Harmonized Cultivator, they naturally found it hard to believe that he could see through the mysteries of the ceremony after only a few glances.
Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao were similarly surprised when they heard this.
”Fellow Daoists don’t need to feel strange, it’s just that this ritual of yours is somewhat similar to a foreign race’s gong method that Han had once seen, and it’s quite different from the others.” Han Li said with a smile on his face.
However, in his mind, he couldn’t help but flash back to a certain foreign race’s gong method tome that he had once read when he was in Heavenly Cloud.
Although this foreign race was not well known, the recorded technique was able to split the soul into many parts, and as long as a sliver of it could enter a carefully prepared physical body beforehand, it could immediately duplicate a general incarnation for itself.
This technique looked so peculiar, plus the cultivation recipe was somewhat close to the human technique.
Han Li had immediately imprinted a copy as if it were a treasure.
But only afterward did he realize that the key to this technique was that he had to have some kind of hidden talent of the alien race. Otherwise, after practicing, it would incur the backlash of the technique.
In this way, he can only secretly screamed pity to give up.
Of course, the foreign race and the human race is originally a little different, the details of the two secret arts are also very different, but in the split soul as well as re-attachment of the new body, but can be greatly borrowed.
The original heart only three or four percent grasp of Han Li, ask yourself and then well will be the common place between the two speculate, can have seven or eight percent of the self-confidence.
Of course these things, Han Li naturally will not now say out on the spot.
He merely walked around the blood pool and the entire spell formation under the gazes of a cadre of cultivators with varying expressions, his eyes not leaving the spell formation and the blood pool in the center for even a moment.
”Alright, when the time comes, I will strike at the right time, you guys still follow the original method and hold the ceremony on time.”
After several circles, Han Li faintly said a few words, on a twist, actually walked to a corner of the hall, self-centered sit down on his knees, closed his eyes, Xu Jiao listened to a slight frown, and then wait for a while, see Han Li is really in the same place motionless on this into the fixed, finally some can not help it, the lips of a move want to say something.
But at this time, his ears suddenly rang Xu Yuan’s voice.
Although it was just a few sentences of conversation, it made the Xu family patriarch’s heart flinch, and after a slight hesitation, he also dismissed the idea of opening his mouth.
Instead, after waiting for a few more moments, he and the other Xu family cultivators generally, entered into the formation and sat around the high platform to meditate.
Time passed little by little, and the air of the ground mountain range began to gradually dim down.
As the night descended, the Xu Clan cultivators who had been meditating with their eyes closed gradually stirred.
Many cultivators couldn’t help but raise their heads to look towards the high platform in the formation, their faces looking rather strange.
After waiting for a while, Xu Yuan Xu Jiao and the rest of the group also opened their eyes and gazed over.
Don’t know how long after, suddenly the top of the hall suddenly light up, a white rune began to flow in the high up, and even a few moments of work, formed a number of simple small spell formation to.
The next moment, the buzzing sound!
After these small spell array trembled, a number of milky white light column from a spray out, just below the prismatic platform above, and a flash into the blood pool.
Han Li’s expression moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the originally quiet and unusual blood pool boiled up at once.
A bizarre vortex appeared out of nowhere at the center of the blood pool and spun rapidly. In the midst of the blood-red water waves, silver-colored runes of varying sizes flickered and appeared, mysterious and abnormal.
”The time has come, start operating the spell formation!” Xu Yuan, who had been waiting quietly, let out a loud shout that shook the entire hall with a buzzing sound.
After a unanimous agreement, the Xu Family cultivators sitting in the various cars of the spell formation had their spirits revitalized as they pinched their hands together and recited words under their breath.
”Puff” the sound of muffled sound successive not feel, the array in the stimulation of the spirit of light square a flash, from all over the spray out of the eighteen blood red light columns.
Each one of them was bowl-thick and thin, blood light flashing, the top directly into the top of the giant hall, unable to see the end.
Xu Yuan, Xu Huo, Xu Yan three people for the Refined Void Cultivator, naturally occupies the most important three eyes in the formation, and in the other people recite the magic spells, urging the formation, each palm a flip, in the heart of the hand a few inches long bright red streamer more.
With a blow, the three small streamers immediately stood up and rotated in a whirling motion.
Three Xu family of refining virtual cultivators, obviously already familiar with the scene, immediately and then a mouth, actually each bite the tip of the tongue, sprayed out a ball of blood.
The three groups of blood, as soon as they whistled out, immediately bang, have turned into a blood mist will completely cover the small streamer in which.
A shrill sound was emitted from the small streamer, and then a light haze was rolled out, swallowing all the blood mist.
In an instant, the three small streamers in the blood light in a big release, the body shape wildly rose up.
After a few flashes, they turned into three huge blood streamers, as thick as a bowl, with a ferocious aura rushing to the sky.
Gusts of blood-colored light and haze surged out wildly from the blood streamers and kept surging into the entire spell formation, intermingling with the other blood lights rising from the spell formation and shrouding the entire blood pool underneath.
Bloody gas and strange strange aroma gas, at the same time rolled out, and marvelously intertwined and fused into one, turned into another let a person smell of sleepy strange breath.
And at this time, as if in this kind of strange breath of attraction, a rumbling strange sound law out, then a group as if the bloody flame of the huge mass of light, from the depths of the blood pool vortex Xu Xu came out.
In the blood-colored light flame, a flickering blood red spirit light crystal coffin, quietly suspended immobile.
Upon seeing this coffin appear, no matter whether it was the three Void Refining cultivators or the rest of the Xu Clan, there were expressions of gravity on their faces.
Their body surface various colors of spiritual light flowed uncertainly, some even blanched, body slightly trembling up, obviously already will be in the body of mana urged to the extreme.
