Yun Tianyi didn't say anything, just glanced at Xi Yue and said in a deep voice: "I'm in the main hall, call me if you have anything."
Soon, only Xi Yue, Gu Youlan, Shen Qingruo, Gu Liufeng and Qingluan were left in the room.
Gu Youlan sighed softly and said, "I will never forget everything that happened back then. Ever since I recovered my memory, I feel that everything was just a dream, a nightmare, for me and the young lady."
Gu Youlan slowly recounted the events of thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, An Lingyue was chosen by the Yaoyue Palace as a candidate for the Saintess and was brought to the divine realm.
That was the first time that An Lingyue, a girl with only the Jindan stage of cultivation, set foot in the Divine Realm, a mysterious and desirable place.
Gu Youlan is An Lingyue's personal maid, named Xiaolan.
Nanny Chen was An Lingyue's wet nurse, and both of them came to the divine realm with An Lingyue.
Although they could not leave the prayer temple at will due to the strong spiritual pressure in the divine realm, they still felt indescribable novelty and excitement.
At that time, An Lingyue had a more lively personality, because she had a treasure that could conceal her aura, and she was only at the Jindan stage of cultivation, so the fluctuation of her spiritual power was almost nothing in the divine realm, so she would often sneak away to various places in the Prayer Temple to play.
Nanny Chen strongly disapproved of An Lingyue's naughty and daring behavior, but she could do nothing about it.
Gu Youlan often acted together with An Lingyue. She was nervous at the beginning, but later she found it very interesting.
The Temple of Blessing, also known as the Temple of the Holy Maiden. One day, while An Lingyue was strolling around, she discovered that it was connected to the Palace of the Divine Emperor.
When Gu Youlan said this, fear gradually appeared in her voice.
After a long while, he trembled and said, "In fact, we dare not leave the Prayer Temple, because the Prayer Temple is covered by a barrier, which prevents us from bearing the powerful spiritual pressure of the God Realm. However, we can actually hear and see the scenes in the God Emperor Palace, and hear the conversations of the people inside."
"I can't remember what those people looked like, but I remember one of them was wearing a bright red robe. He asked, 'Are you ready for the next saint to be sacrificed in blood?'"
Xi Yue's expression was stern. "Blood sacrifice? Didn't they say that the Saint Maiden candidate only needs to pray for the spirit?"
She remembered that the An Ling family had said this before sending An Lingyan to Yaoyue Palace.
Gu Youlan was surprised that Xi Yue also knew about Qi Ling. She shook her head and said, "We thought so at first. The people from Yaoyue Palace told An Ling's family that. But after listening to their conversation, the young lady and I realized that it was not a Qi Ling at all."
"Only a true saint can pray for spirits, but more than ten thousand years ago, the real saint disappeared, or has long been dead. Without the saint to pray for spirits, the divine domain will gradually collapse, and then lose control of the various planes of the world."
"And without the nourishment from the divine realm, the spiritual energy of each plane of the world will slowly dry up until it becomes a desert."
"In order to keep the God's Domain and the various planes of the continent going, the High Priest of the God's Domain can only select girls with a mysterious Yin physique from various planes every ten years to serve as the so-called Saint Maiden candidates. However, these Saint Maiden candidates do not have the ability to truly pray for spirits. The only way for them to pray for spirits is to exhaust every bit of their essence and blood and use their own bodies as sacrifices to accomplish the process of praying for spirits." (To be continued)
