Chapter 1768: Holy Souls Festival
Xu Yang swept a glance around, seeing the sunrise birth the first ray of sunlight hit into this jungle, the rich life habitat began to move towards recovery, this was the scene that he was most eager to see, and then he meaningfully swept his gaze, swept towards the location of sealing the stomach of that ancient evil beast.
Speaking of which, Xu Yang was indeed still a little worried about that female slayer from the Heavenly Sect.
Xu Yang had already paved a path for her to rebirth in fire, but that woman still had her own beliefs after all, and her deep-rooted sense of mission towards the Heavenly Sect, I’m afraid it wasn’t that easy to completely remove.
Whether or not she could grab this one life-saving straw and start a whole new path of life again, Xu Yang had no way to make a decision for her, everything depended on that female God of Murder’s own destiny, Xu Yang knew that the journey in this forbidden area had already come to an end.
”It’s time for us to leave this place, as for the next direction we should move forward.”
Xu Yang sighed with emotion, and instinctively took out that one crystal stone with a flickering purple light that had just been put away by her again.
As expected, Xu Yang’s sixth sense was quite accurate.
When he once again held this one actually in his palm, the leaf-green radiant light suddenly emanated from within this crystal stone, more like a hint of guidance, leading the direction of Xu Yang’s three gazes towards a certain zone in the northwest.
”Oh, Boss, look at this light, could it be that the information in the middle of this crystal stone is making a direction guide for us?”
Xu Yang seemed to recall something?
Hearing Xu Longkun’s starting point like this, he decisively pulled out the remaining two maps that had gone in, and one of the directions of the map marking the Endless Desert was clearly the direction guided by the light emanating from this crystal stone.
After discovering this, Xu Yang was immediately filled with anticipation for the next stop.
”It looks like it is indeed as we suspected, the guidance he gave us should be where the Endless Desert’s forbidden area is located.
If that’s really the case, there should be more violet light crystals like this one.
Only if we put all the crystals together, then the resulting image must be the outline of a complete jigsaw puzzle.
And ultimately the answer that this puzzle will reveal.
Either it is directly related to the legacy of the Eighth Human Emperor.
Either that or it is the truth behind the Ancient Martial Divine Dao that we have been trying to uncover all along.”
Hearing Xu Yang say this, Long Kun and Qing Ya were also filled with the desire to continue exploring, and the two of them also deeply felt the unique charm from this area of the Ancient Martial Divine Path.
The world of the martial artist is very different from the previous situation of the Kunlun Divine Path where all the powerful people from all sides showed their abilities.
In this area of martial arts, every martial artist has their own beliefs, which may be a belief in a more powerful martial arts legend, but also may be a belief in the heart of some kind of consciousness.
For example, the female Killer God who had just been sealed up by Xu Yang, her faith should be the mission handed down to her by the Killer Organization.
In Xu Yang’s opinion, the Ancient Martial Shinto, this region was very different from the previous Kunlun Shinto.
They didn’t need a unified civilization belief to unite everyone in the entire region, it was a region that was able to incorporate a wide variety of beliefs and civilizations.
What Xu Yang wanted to do was to undo the shackles that secretly controlled the development of this region of the Ancient Martial Divine Path.
Allowing everyone the freedom to pursue their own beliefs.
After determining his direction, Xu Yang did not hesitate any longer, and took the trophy that emitted a purple light with Long Kun and Qing Ya to continue on the road, rapidly advancing in the direction guided by that light.
A few days later, Xu Yang’s trio had arrived at the frontline of the Endless Desert, where the entire Imperial Dynasty was very famous for a city-state called Sacred Soul City.
The origin of this name came from the fact that this city-state had inherited a special history of tens of thousands of years, and it had an irreplaceable and special role for the entire Imperial Dynasty.
Originally, the three of them did not have a deeper understanding of this city, all because after the three of them blended into the tightly guarded city-state, they found that almost every single citizen or martial artist guarding this city-state possessed an extremely unified faith.
It was only after some investigation that Xu Yang finally realized that the reason why this city-state was special was because the first weekend of October every year, that is, two days later, was known as the Holy Souls Festival.
A special team representing the royal side of the family would hold a very grand Soul Sacrifice Ceremony in this place.
At this moment, Xu Yang’s trio was in the middle of a tavern within the city-state, resting their feet for the time being.
With such a powerful senseless insight, the three of them easily heard some special processes and contents about the Holy Souls Festival that would take place two days later from the table next to them.
It was just that the three of them, Xu Yang, did not expect that this so-called Holy Souls Festival would be so perverted and twisted.
They were actually going to collect thousands of babies within the city-state that were just born within a year and conduct a unified test of their cultivation talent.
Selecting one in ten thousand of the proudest children of heaven, there was no doubt that the selected babies would all become the most powerful martial artists in the future.
And those infants who were not selected and did not possess strong enough cultivation talent would have to use their own flesh and blood and lives to sacrifice to those infants who possessed superb talent, using their flesh and blood as a prayer to accumulate blessings for those Heaven’s Pride infants.
There was no doubt that such a so-called soul-sacrificing ceremony was a transgression that was not tolerated by Heaven.
When Xu Yang’s trio heard the content of such a conversation, they all looked at each other in disbelief, revealing expressions of incomparable shock and anger.
”Boss really didn’t expect that the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony amongst this so-called Holy Soul City of theirs would be so perverted.
Shouldn’t we take some measures to stop them from behaving like this?”
Hearing Long Kun and Qing Ya’s persuasion like this, Xu Yang still maintained a calm countenance as he slowly lifted the wine cup in his hand and drank the wine in it in a single gulp.
”That goes without saying, since we have come, this Sacred Soul City is the last supply medicine for us to enter the Endless Desert, since Ai has come across it by us, then we must have something to show for it.
No matter what those children are innocent, I will never allow those self-righteous guys to use the children’s lives to fulfill their own desires.
Since the three of us have come across them, then let’s go and make a scene for this so-called Soul Sacrifice Ceremony, I’d really like to see what kind of tricks they can pull off.”
Since Xu Yang had already made his decision, it was destined that this year’s Soul Sacrifice Ceremony would not be ordinary.
After a simple night’s rest, Xu Yang’s trio changed into a completely different look the next day.
Early on, they mixed into the team of martial arts guards.
Because only with the identity of a martial arts guard, Xu Yang was able to silently integrate into every aspect of the entire Soul Sacrifice Ceremony, making it easy for them to strike at any time and stop the tragedy of the so-called Soul Sacrifice from occurring.
