After walking through a long corridor and making a half-circle, Han Li and the others directly entered the back hall without passing through the main hall of the ancestral temple.
In a hidden secret room in the temple, there is a white stone staircase that leads obliquely to the depths of the ground.
At the entrance of the stairs, several secret guards guarded there vigilantly.
Xu Jiao waved his hand, and the secret guards immediately retreated to the two sides with a bow.
A group of people entered the somewhat dark stairs.
This passage is somewhat dark, and there are bursts of cold air blowing from below from time to time, and at a certain distance on both sides, there is a fist-sized moonstone inlaid, making the aura in the passage dim and bright, with many shadows, like a ghost.
Fortunately, the stone steps were not very long. After a while, everyone came out and appeared in a well-designed underground hall.
Han Li glanced around slightly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
The entire hall is made of a kind of light black jade, covering an area of three to four hundred feet. On the surrounding walls and on the top, there are complex and mysterious white runes imprinted one after another.
These runes flashed with white aura, turning the entire hall into daylight.
But the most eye-catching thing in the hall is an exquisite pool-shaped high platform in the center.
The high platform is in the shape of a hexagonal edge, surrounded by a huge magic circle.
And in the high platform, a circular pool was filled with a strange bright red liquid, but there was no trace of blood, instead there were bursts of tulips emanating from the pool.
In this huge magic circle, there are more than a dozen Xu family monks meditating there with their eyes closed, just forming a circle around the prismatic high platform.
There were Xu Yan and Xu Huo that Han Li had seen before.
"Greetings, Senior Han, thank you senior for helping the Xu family." The two cultivators of the Xu family, seeing Han Li appearing in the hall accompanied by Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao, couldn't understand Han Li's intentions. Immediately overjoyed, he immediately got up and gave Han Li a distant salute.
"Don't say any words of gratitude just now. Whether you can really help me a little is still a matter for two." Han Li shook his head and said.
Xu Jiao, the head of the Xu family, didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he waved his hand from a distance, and let the other Xu family monks also meet Han Li.
These monks are male and female, some are not more than 30 or 40 years old, and some are elderly with white beard and hair.
But everyone has the cultivation level of the god transformation stage, and they are obviously the real core members of the Xu family.
And these monks had peeked at Han Li with awe for a long time ago, obviously they knew that this was a fit monk, and now they heard the order from the family head, they all got up immediately, and paid homage to Han Li with one voice.
Han Li waved his hand, and looked at the blood pool on his own, with a look of great interest on his face.
"This is created according to the records in the Blood Soul Dafa. The spiritual liquid in the pool is made of the blood essence of our Xu family members, plus many rare elixir and spiritual things, mixed and melted. Not only is it necessary to awaken the blood soul One, and you can use the blood energy in the pool to slow down the speed of the blood soul dissipating by one or two." Xu Yuan whispered from the side.
"I see. But the most important thing in the awakening ceremony is the thing under the spiritual liquid. Without this thing, no matter how much spiritual liquid there is in the pool and how mysterious the magic circle is, it will be difficult to perform the blood soul secret technique!" Han The blue light in Li's pupils flickered slightly, and he said lightly.
"Senior's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he has already seen it. The spiritual liquid is the treasure of our Xu family's blood crystal coffin. Without this thing, the blood body necessary for the bleeding soul cannot be condensed, and the blood soul can be sent to it Yes." Xu Yuan's complexion changed slightly, but he immediately explained as usual.
"Blood crystal coffin! Hehe, I understand a little bit about this awakening ceremony." Han Li glanced at the huge magic circle below several times, and seemed to think of something. After pondering for a while, Just laughed.
"Senior's words are serious." Xu Huo and Xu Yan who were on the side were stunned, and they obviously didn't fully believe Han Li's words.
For this awakening ceremony, the Xu family spent most of the day and spent most of the day before they were able to prepare it properly.
Even though the other party was a fit cultivator, they could see through the mystery in just a few glances, so they couldn't believe it.
Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao were equally surprised when they heard this.
"Fellow daoists, you don't need to find it strange. It's just that this ceremony of yours is somewhat similar to a foreign cultivation method that Han has seen before. There are similarities in the same way and the same effect." Han Li said with a smile on his face.
But he couldn't help but flashed through his mind the classics of a certain foreign race's exercises that he had read when he was in Tianyun.
Although the reputation of this alien race is not obvious, the recorded exercises can split the soul into many parts. As long as a part of them can enter the carefully prepared body, they can immediately duplicate an identical incarnation for themselves.
This kind of kung fu looks so strange, and the practice formula is somewhat similar to the human race kung fu.
Han Li imprinted a copy immediately as if he had found a treasure.
However, it was discovered afterwards that the key to this exercise is that one must have some kind of secret talent of that alien race. Otherwise, after practicing, it will incur the backlash of the practice.
In this way, he could only secretly call it a pity to give up.
Of course, alien races are somewhat different from human races, and the details of the two secret arts are also quite different, but they can be used as a reference for soul separation and reattachment to new bodies.
Han Li, who was only 30% to 40% sure in his heart, asked himself and figured out the common ground between the two, and he would be 70% to 80% confident.
Of course, Han Li would not say these things on the spot.
He just walked slowly around the blood pool and the entire magic circle under the eyes of a group of monks with different expressions, without taking his eyes off the magic circle and the blood pool in the center for a moment.
"Okay, then I will take action at the right time. You should follow the original method and hold the ceremony on time."
After several circles, Han Li said a few words, then turned around, walked to a corner of the hall, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, Xu Jiao frowned slightly , After waiting for a while, seeing that Han Lizhen was still in the same place, he fell into a samadhi, and finally couldn't help it anymore, his lips moved to say something.
But at this moment, Xu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Although it was just a few words, the head of the Xu family shuddered, and after a moment of hesitation, he gave up the idea of speaking.
Instead, after waiting for a while, like other Xu family monks, he entered the magic circle and sat cross-legged around the high platform to adjust his breath.
Time passed little by little, and the sky above the mountains on the ground began to gradually dim.
And as night fell, the group of Xu family monks who had been meditating with their eyes closed gradually became agitated.
Many monks couldn't help looking up at the high platform in the circle, with strange expressions on their faces.
After waiting for a while, Xu Yuan, Xu Jiao and others also opened their eyes and stared at the past.
After an unknown amount of time, the top of the huge hall suddenly burst into light, and the white runes began to flow endlessly on the heights. After a short time, several simple small magic circles were formed.
The next moment, there was a loud buzzing!
After these small magic circles trembled, several milky white beams of light shot out from them, just hitting the prism-shaped high platform below, and submerged into the pool of blood in a flash.
Han Li's expression changed, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the pool of blood that was originally quiet suddenly boiled.
A strange vortex appeared out of thin air in the center of the blood pool, and spun rapidly. In the blood-red water waves, silver runes of different sizes flickered and appeared mysteriously.
"The time has come, let's start to operate the magic circle!" Xu Yuan, who had been waiting quietly, yelled loudly, causing the entire hall to buzz.
After agreeing in unison, the monks of the Xu family, who were sitting cross-legged in the carts of the magic circle, all cheered up and made a formula with both hands, muttering words in their mouths.
The muffled sound of "噗噗" was heard one after another, and after the spiritual light aroused in the magic circle flickered, eighteen blood-red beams of light spewed out from everywhere.
Each root is as thick as a bowl, glistening with blood, and the top directly submerges into the top of the giant hall, with no end in sight.
Xu Yuan, Xu Huo, and Xu Yan, as cultivators of emptiness, naturally occupied the three most important eyes of the magic circle, and when other people read the magic formula and urged the magic circle, they flipped their palms , a bright red flag several inches long appeared in the palm of his hand.
As soon as it was blown, the three small flags immediately stood up and began to rotate continuously.
The three cultivators of the Xu family's Xu family were obviously already familiar with it, and when they saw this scene, they immediately opened their mouths again, biting the tip of their tongues and spurting out a ball of blood.
As soon as the three balls of blood essence screamed out, they immediately slammed, turning into blood mist and completely covering the small banner.
There was a shrill sound from the small streamer, and then a stream of light from each of them rolled out, swallowing up all the blood mist.
In an instant, the three small flags were bursting with blood, and their figures swelled wildly.
After a few flashes, it turned into three huge blood streamers, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, with a fierce aura soaring to the sky.
Bursts of blood-colored radiance gushed out from the blood streamer, continuously pouring into the entire magic circle, blending with the other blood lights that emerged from the magic circle, and covering the entire blood pool under it.
The smell of blood and the strange smell rolled out at the same time, and they were wonderfully intertwined and merged into one, turning into another weird smell that made people drowsy.
But at this moment, as if attracted by this strange aura, a rumbling strange sound came out, and then a huge light group like a bloody flame slowly emerged from the deepest part of the blood pool vortex.
Amidst the blood-red flames, a crystal coffin with blood-red aura was floating quietly.
Seeing this coffin appear, no matter the three Xu Xu cultivators or the rest of the Xu family, all of them showed serious expressions on their faces.
All kinds of auras on their bodies fluctuated, and some even turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly, obviously mobilizing the mana in their bodies to the extreme.
