Chapter 1479 – Dark Ancestral Stone Formation
At the end of time and space, the Ancestral God Hall.
The star coins rotated rapidly within the grooves, and the countless boulders below the platform suddenly moved as if they had pressed some kind of switch key, emitting a low, loud sound!
As the cluster of stones shifted, these boulders were divided into twelve complicated boulder formations according to the positions of the twelve Ancestor God stone statues at the edge of the platform, displayed in a circular shape below the crowd, similar to the eight trigrams alignment of the Da Xia Taoist religion, yet different, and vaguely harboring subtle meanings between the disorder.
”What is this? A labyrinth?” Nezha asked in disbelief.
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father stood in the center of the platform, looking down at the endless array of twelve giant stones below, his brows slightly furrowed as if pondering something.
After a long time, he slowly spoke:
”If the Poor Taoist is correct, this should be the Ancestral God Hall’s ceremony for absorbing the power of faith.”
”Ceremony? Is there still a need for a ceremony to absorb faith?”
”They are different from us, the Ancestral God Myths of the Primordial Era didn’t have such a thing as a divine Kingdom Origin.
They gathered the invisible power of faith on top of that platform in the center, and through some mysterious method, they transformed it into divine power that could be absorbed by themselves, and then dispersed it into every Ancestral God through these boulder formations.”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father pointed at the twelve stone statues around him, and then pointed at the twelve megalithic arrays below, “At the end of each megalithic array is an Ancestral God.”
”A mysterious method of transforming faith into power?” The Jade Cauldron spoke thoughtfully, “How did they do that?”
”The Poor Tao is also unclear, this is perhaps the biggest secret of the Ancestral God Myth …… and even relates to the existence of the gods themselves.”
Hearing Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father say this, everyone simultaneously looked at the empty altar of the god, seemingly imagining that what had originally been placed on top of it, was actually a thing ……
”Heavenly Father, what do we do next?”
Guan Zai pointed at the twelve giant stone formations below, “Should we go down and take a look?”
”This is, after all, the Ancestral God’s divine Kingdom from the Ancient Era, would it be too risky for us to just go down and explore?” A Great Summer God said.
”Not necessarily, the Ancestor God’s era has passed too long ago, even the Ancestor God itself has disappeared, there shouldn’t be too much danger here.”
”If this Ancestral God Temple was hostile to us, I’m afraid it would have reacted long ago.”
”……”
While the crowd was discussing, the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father pondered for a moment, counted with his fingers, and spoke:
”This place shouldn’t be dangerous …… Since we’re trapped in the wall of time and space, instead of sitting around waiting, why don’t we split up and search, maybe we can find something left over from the Ancestral God Era.”
When the Heavenly Father spoke, the crowd instantly had no objections and responded at the same time.
”Taiyi, you take Slu Xingjun, Shang Sheng Xingjun, Tai Bai Jinxing, and this little friend Lu Wuwei to the Water Ancestor Stone Formation, and Jade Cauldron, you take Meng Zhang Shenjun …… “The Heavenly Father of the Spirit Treasures grouped the people here one by one, trying his best to make sure that there were Lord God level warriors seated in each of the groups.
”…… Little friend Zhou Ping, please take them to the Thunder Ancestor Stone Formation, and finally ……”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s gaze, landed on Lin Qiye and said after a moment’s pause, “Lin Qiye, you go with Poor Tao to the Dark Ancestor Stone Formation.”
Lin Qiye froze, then immediately nodded, “Yes.”
After dividing the groups, Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father took out the child and mother dragon flags again, dispersing the child flags to the different groups, while he himself kept the mother flag to conveniently sense the location of all the child flags.
After doing this, the crowd walked off the platform and each stepped into the corresponding stone formation.
Lin Qiye, on the other hand, followed closely behind Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father and walked through a lofty boulder the size of a mountain peak to enter the interior of the labyrinth-like array.
Each of these boulders that made up the stone array was hundreds of meters tall, and there wasn’t the slightest trace of splicing and polishing, as if the stone was already so huge and natural, only that the size and outline varied, and it was intricately forested, as if it was a forest of boulders.
As soon as Lin Qiye stepped inside the array, the light above his head quickly dimmed, and a dark dome of sky shrouded the sky above the stone array, and he couldn’t reach out and see anything inside the array.
”How did it suddenly get dark?” Lin Qiye asked suspiciously.
”It’s not that it’s suddenly dark, it’s that it’s inherently dark within this giant stone array.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father walked in front of him and said indifferently, “Looking down from above, these arrays are nothing more than some stone blocks that are tediously arranged, but the mysteries contained within them are much more than that.
Each of the boulder arrays here is a space of its own, and we are walking in the Dark Ancestor Stone Array, so the arrays arranged by these stones correspond to the power of the Dark Ancestor.”
”Just some misplaced stones can possess this effect?” Lin Qiye reached out and rubbed the surface of a boulder beside him, it was cold and rough to the touch, not much different from the stones in the outside world.
”Don’t underestimate the Ancestral God Myths, although their existence may seem primitive and rough, they have a greatness that you and I can’t imagine.”
Lin Qiye nodded, here he couldn’t use his spiritual power to perceive, he could only rely on his weak dark vision, barely following behind Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father ……
Cluster-!
A cluster of fire bloomed from the nothingness around Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the array of boulders near the two of them with clarity.
That familiar face looked back at Lin Qiye in the firelight and softly said:
”Now, can you see clearly?”
”…… Uh-huh.”
Looking at the daoist’s face, Lin Qiye’s heart shook slightly, and in a trance, he seemed to see Baili Chubby’s shadow ……
”The terrain here is complicated, there may still be leftover organs, you and follow the poor Taoist well …… However, there is no need to worry too much, even if you get lost, the poor Taoist will be able to retrieve you in the first place.” Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father said indifferently.
These words fell on Lin Qiye’s ears, giving him an inexplicable peace of mind, he followed closely behind the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father, and after a long time of agonizing, he still opened his mouth:
”Heavenly Father ……”
”What is it?”
”…… Fatty?” Lin Qiye carefully opened his mouth.
Hearing these two words, Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s footsteps lurched and his figure stopped.
He let out a long sigh and slowly turned around amidst the cluster of burning fires around him, facing Lin Qiye with a somewhat complicated expression.
”Lin Qiye, Poor Taoist …… No, I know what you’re thinking.” Ling Bao Tianzun paused for a moment, “Baili Chubby, was the last life of my reincarnation, and although he wasn’t the most twisted of my countless reincarnations, he was the most impressive to me.
You, Qingyu, Jiang’er, Cao Yuan, Jia Lan, Tugger …… Baili Chubby is [Night Curtain]’s bond, and you guys are his as well, and no one can appreciate this point more clearly than me.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father pointed to his heart.
”I’m sorry that my return has taken away your Chubby Hundred Miles, but we had no choice, and that’s what he wanted.
Nowadays, you can see the situation of Daxia, the current me, I must be Spirit Treasure, not Baili Chubby …… can you understand?”
