Chapter 4338
Beiluo Mangshan!
The next day, Tianmu Temple.
Early in the morning, Ling Yuan, Ling Yi and "Ling Feng" came as agreed, waiting to be summoned by the Holy Priest.
The three of them waited outside the hall for about half a minute, then they saw the hall door slowly open, and more than ten boys walked out, forming two teams and welcoming Ling Feng and the other two into the hall.
After the three entered the temple, the other boys stood guard outside the door, while one of them, dressed in a pure white robe, waited quietly in a corner of the temple. The expression on his face looked very calm and indifferent, which was totally unlike the expression a child of this age should have.
After a while, the holy priest walked out of the side hall, supported by two priests.
In just one night, the Holy Sacrifice looked much older.
"This prayer ceremony is over. My mission... ends here."
The priest smiled bitterly and slowly sat down in front of a huge incense burner.
Then, he waved to Ling Feng and the other two, indicating that they didn't need to be restrained and could sit directly in front of him.
Ling Feng took a look at the old man. His vitality was indeed disappearing rapidly in an unpredictable and strange way.
Oh no, strictly speaking, it’s not disappearance, but transfer.
There seemed to be a special bond connecting the Holy Priest and the boy in white robes.
The life force dissipated by the holy sacrifice was transferred into the boy's body.
The boy's originally pure soul seemed to be occupied by a special power.
This is probably what is called "returning to the spirit". When the return to the spirit is completed, the boy becomes the holy sacrifice of the next generation.
And the original holy sacrifice, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
The mission of the Holy Sacrifice remains the same from generation to generation.
The holy priests of all ages were the chosen ones who were able to have a special perception with the holy images of the Holy Ones with Third Eyes, but at the same time, they were also the ones abandoned by God.
God gave them this special perception ability, but deprived them of the talent for cultivation.
Therefore, the holy priests are ordinary people who are unable to practice.
In addition, since he was born in an era when demons were rampant, as an ordinary person, living to the age of sixty or seventy was already considered a long life.
Soon, Ling Yuan, Ling Feng, and Ling Yi walked up to the Holy Priest, bowed to him, and then sat down cross-legged.
The high priest looked back at the two priests who had helped him in. The latter nodded and left the hall, slowly closing the door.
Everything about the Road to Apocalypse is related to the biggest secret of the Eight Tribes of the Northern Wilderness.
Apart from the Holy Sacrifice, only the top three disciples in the Black Stone Trial can know about it.
"Yixi, come and sit here too."
The Holy Priest looked at the boy in the white robe again. It turned out that his name was Yi Xi.
"Yes, Master."
Yi Xi walked forward slowly. He seemed to have inherited part of the holy sacrifice, so he was not timid like a child. He just sat quietly by the side, waiting for the end of "returning to the spirit".
The Holy Priest raised his old and somewhat cloudy eyes, took a deep look at the three people in front of him, and said slowly: "My time is coming, so I will make it short. However, before I tell you about the location of the Road of Revelation, you all need to swear an oath that everything you heard today and everything you experienced on the Road of Revelation must not be leaked!"
"I swear on my soul that I will not reveal a single word of what I heard today or what I experienced on the Road of Apocalypse. If I violate this promise, I will be killed by both heaven and man!"
Ling Yuan was the first to put three fingers together and take a vow.
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
No wonder when Ling Ruoshui told him about the Road to Revelation, he just mentioned the name without any details.
I think it’s because of this oath.
"If you violate this promise, you will be killed by both heaven and man!"
The next moment, Ling Feng and Ling Yi also swore together that they would never reveal the secret of the Road to Revelation.
The Holy Priest then nodded, and then tremblingly took out a jade box from his sleeve.
This jade box, why does it look a little familiar?
Suddenly, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched.
Isn't this what Young Master Xuan Ce said at the Chaos Scale Death Swamp that it was left to the descendants of Heaven by the previous Dragon Lord?
Is it...
Just as Ling Feng was lost in his memories, Sheng Ji had already opened the seal of the jade box with a special hand gesture.
Then, he took out an animal skin scroll from the jade box.
That’s right, it’s actually a map!
The Holy Priest unfolded the map and placed it in front of Ling Feng and the other two.
Different from the map Ling Feng had seen before, this one was obviously much simpler and many details were very blurry.
Yes, my share has probably become more detailed after being improved by several generations of Tiandao people.
And the next words of the Holy Sacrifice obviously confirmed Ling Feng's guess.
The Holy Priest handed the jade box directly to Ling Yuan, "Apostle Ling Yuan, this jade box and this map are temporarily given to you for safekeeping as per convention. After you come out of the Road of Apocalypse, you can start to complete the map, and then give it to the next generation of Holy Priest for safekeeping, that is... this child."
As the Holy Priest said this, he looked at Yi Xi who was sitting in the back row.
"Yixi, after you take back this jade box, you need to seal it up immediately and wait until the next prayer ceremony is over before you can take it out. Do you understand?"
"The disciple understands."
Ling Yuan carefully took the jade box, blinked his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "This map is..."
"This is a map of the interior of the Road to Apocalypse."
The words of the Holy Sacrifice finally made Ling Feng suddenly enlightened. No wonder he couldn't see any clues before.
It turns out that only after entering the Road of Apocalypse can this map reveal its true meaning.
"Then, how do we find the road to revelation?" Ling Yi from the Juntian tribe couldn't help but ask.
The Holy Priest took a deep breath and said slowly: "The abyss of Mount Mang in the north is where yin and yang cycle. The heaven and earth have an end, there is no space and no self. If you understand this verse, you can get a glimpse of its true meaning."
Playing charades?
Ling Feng smiled bitterly. Do people from the ancient times like to play guessing games with him so much?
Ling Ruoshui was like this before, and now she is finally almost at the entrance of the Road to Apocalypse, but this Holy Priest is still playing tricks on her.
"Master Holy Priest, do you have any other instructions?"
Ling Yuan stared at the Holy Sacrifice, trying to get some valuable information.
The priest nodded slightly, then looked at the incense burner and said slowly, "The incense burner contains the life source stones that the three of you chose during the Black Stone Trial. This item can also play an unexpected role in the Path of Apocalypse. You can take it back."
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. It turned out that the natal source stone did not disappear directly with the end of the Black Stone Trial?
This is no wonder. Ling Feng was also thinking that since the Road of Revelation could enhance the overall blood power of the Tiandao clan, why not let every member of the clan go in and try their luck.
Now it seems that I was overthinking.
The first three natal source stones are the biggest restrictions for entering the Road of Apocalypse!
"Okay, go ahead. Regardless of whether you can successfully find the path to revelation, you must return the jade box to the temple within one month. Otherwise, the statue will collapse, and the inheritance of the Eight Northern Wastelands will no longer exist."
Before he finished speaking, the breath of the holy sacrifice had become increasingly weak. It seemed that the return to the spirit was about to end, and the life of this old man would also come to the end. "Disciple, remember this!"
Ling Yuan took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the Holy Priest, hugged the jade box tightly in his arms, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
Ling Feng and Ling Yi also bowed to the Holy Priest, and then left with Ling Yuan.
The door of the hall slowly closed, and Ling Yuan clenched his fists. Although he knew that was the unchangeable fate of the holy priests of all generations, he still felt sad for the death of such a respected old man.
The three of them walked out of the Tianmu Temple silently. The three attendants who had been following them had been waiting outside the temple for a long time.
"How about it?"
Yi Ting walked quickly to Ling Yuan and said, "Boss, where is the road to apocalypse? When do we set out?"
"Can't say."
Ling Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "Also, the Road of Apocalypse can only be traveled by Ling Feng and I. Sihuo, you and Qingmu should go back to the front line first. You don't have to wait for me. You are needed more there."
"All right……"
Yi Ting looked a little disappointed, but still nodded heavily, "Then we'll wait for you at the front line!"
"Ok!"
Ling Yuan raised his hand and patted Yi Ting's shoulder heavily, "Sihuo, take good care of the other brothers, and Qingluo. She has a stubborn temper, so you should be careful and keep an eye on her. Don't let her do anything stupid. No matter what, she is a very important sister in my heart."
"I would do the same without you telling me, Boss." Yi Ting nodded heavily, but then felt that he had gone too far, so he quickly said, "She...she is Qingmu's sister, which means she is my sister!"
"Ha ha……"
Ling Yuan smiled faintly and gently pushed Yi Ting, "Go, the brothers are waiting for you!"
"Yes, Boss, we are all waiting for you on the front battlefield!"
Yi Ting waved to Ling Yuan, then quickly ran towards Qingmu and the others.
Ling Feng looked at Yi Ting's back. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like the cruel, sinister and vicious Yi Ting in later generations.
What on earth made him become like that?
Can the desire for power and strength really completely change a person?
At the same time, Ling Yi also told his followers to leave first, and Ling Feng walked towards Qingluo and the others.
I think the conversation between Yiting and Lingyuan just now could not be hidden from Qingluo's ears.
Seeing that Qingluo looked a little strange, Ling Feng didn't foolishly bring up the issue. He just led a few people to a secluded place and whispered, "From now on, I can only go to the Road of Apocalypse by myself, so you don't need to borrow other people's bodies anymore."
Zi Feng stared at Ling Feng, "Master, what do you mean..."
"My illusion has made Han Qiao'er and the others think that they have completed the trial of the Road of Apocalypse. Now they are ready to separate from Ling Feng. I will meet you later and take you into the Five Elements Palace first. These few people can be allowed to leave first."
"how about you?"
"I will continue to disguise myself as Ling Feng, but I need to change my approach."
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he felt a little sorry for Ling Feng, he had to seize this opportunity.
Therefore, he must enter the road of revelation in his original form.
His idea was to completely replace Ling Feng, temporarily put Ling Feng into the Five Elements Palace, and then disguise himself as Ling Feng.
After everything is over, he will release Ling Feng and return to his normal life.
However, before that, he needed to put on a show and say that he had gained nothing on the road to apocalypse.
After all, he is a member of the Tiandao clan of later generations. No matter how his Tiandao bloodline changes, it can only affect later generations.
However, these ancestors will not be affected by the changes in their bloodlines.
"Okay, now!"
Ling Feng noticed that Ling Yuan and Ling Yi were discussing the riddle about the Holy Sacrifice. While they were not paying attention, he directly brought Qing Luo and the other two into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
The next moment, Han Qiaoer and the other two disciples of the Zongtian Tribe returned to their bodies and felt as if it was all a dream.
But soon, as the memories in the illusion merged, they quickly returned to normal.
Han Qiaoer looked at Ling Feng shyly, gritted her teeth, and then stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the cheek when Ling Feng had no reaction at all.
"You bastard, I'll wait for you to come back and marry me!"
The leader of the Zongtian clan had said before that after Ling Feng returned, he would help preside over their wedding.
Ling Feng implanted all these memories into Han Qiaoer's memory intact.
Therefore, Ling Feng and Han Qiaoer are now indeed engaged.
Ling Feng's old face turned red. Fortunately, it was Ling Feng's body now, so he didn't take advantage of Han Qiaoer.
He coughed dryly a few times and could only nod towards Han Qiaoer, "Ahem, then...well...wait...wait for me to come back and marry you."
"Haha, you are so thick-skinned on weekdays, but now you are shy!"
"Ha ha!"
The other two companions burst out laughing.
Ling Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these three people had already gotten away with it.
After saying a few more words to them, Ling Feng quickly returned to Ling Yuan and Ling Yi.
Ling Yuan smiled and pointed to his cheek. Ling Feng was stunned. "Brother Ling Yuan, what do you mean?"
Ling Yuan laughed, "Brother Ling Feng, which one is more red, the beauty's lips or your face?"
"Forehead……"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly wiped the lipstick marks on his cheek, coughed a few times, and said with a serious expression: "By the way, what exactly did the Holy Sacrifice Master's previous verse mean?"
"No matter what it means, Brother Ling Yi and I have already discussed it. It is definitely right to go to Beiluo Mang Mountain first."
"Ah."
Ling Feng also nodded slightly. "Beiluo Mangshan Abyss, it seems that the road to revelation should be here."
"Since we are heading to Beiluo Mang Mountain, I have an unwelcome request."
Ling Yuan glanced at Ling Feng and Ling Yi, and said in a deep voice: "My Yuantian tribe is the only way to the Beiluo Mang Mountain. The last time I returned to the tribe, I felt that the seal at Bingfeng Ridge seemed to be loose again, so I want to return to the Yuantian tribe. I wonder if you two..."
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed. Obviously, Ling Yuan remembered the disaster he experienced in his childhood. It was because of the gap in the barrier that many members of the Yuantian tribe were killed or injured.
Now, after several decades, it is normal for the barrier to loosen again.
"Well, it's only right to prepare for a rainy day. I agree." Ling Feng was the first to express his opinion.
Ling Yi naturally had no objection, "Since it is a necessary route, there is no harm in going there."
Ling Yuan quickly bowed to Ling Feng and the other two, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much." (End of this chapter)
