Except for the first stone pillar, the two men did not try to move the other stone pillars.
Xu Chunniang looked around carefully and found that this stone pillar looked no different from the previous ones.
Chu Youtian only took a glance and then looked away, muttering softly.
"What are these stone pillars for? They can't be pulled out, and they can't be moved. Are they suppressing something?"
He just said it casually, but an idea flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind like lightning.
She recalled the discomfort she had felt since entering the valley, as well as the natives' enhanced spiritual perception and speed, and an incredible guess arose in her mind.
They tried to dig out the stone pillars, which caused a violent earthquake.
Are these stone pillars suppressing something under the valley, or are they suppressing the entire valley
Xu Chunniang shook her head, suppressed this shocking thought, and continued to move forward following the vague voice.
The two were in the belly of the mountain. After circling for a long time, they finally found a small cave behind a stone pillar. The cave was just above the altar.
Xu Chunniang looked down from the cave entrance and took in the entire scene around the altar at a glance.
At this time, the prayer has come to an end and the sacrifice is about to officially begin.
Chu Youtian was shocked when he saw the many "sacrifices" on the altar.
"These natives are so honest in the village, but I didn't expect them to be so crazy in private. No matter what, we must find a way to disrupt the sacrifice. Otherwise, if the witch god is really summoned, we may not be able to defeat him."
As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened and some monks took action.
As if they had discussed it beforehand, they launched surprise attacks from all directions.
However, the village chiefs in the lead sneered, "The sacrifice begins, kill all the outsiders!"
The villagers behind them moved, raising their weapons and stabbing at the outsiders.
The villagers were several times more agile and much stronger than during normal hunting.
Fortunately, this group of monks who were able to touch the ancestral land were no pushovers. They used various means to fight the natives on equal terms.
However, after the sacrifice began, with the advent of an ancient will, the situation began to become one-sided.
Under the influence of this ancient will, the monk's strength, which had been excessively weakened, was greatly reduced again.
As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength, and the strength of the natives actually increased.
"Damn it, if this wasn't a place without souls, with my perfect foundation building strength, how could I have ended up like this..."
"If I had known that this level would require a joint effort, I would have killed fewer people a few days ago."
"The damn Tiandao Palace sent us here, isn't it just to let us die?"
The monks cursed and swore at each other while using all possible means, but their target was the altar.
They saw clearly that it was more important to destroy the sacrifice and prevent the ancient will from enjoying the sacrifice than to kill a few natives.
But the number of sacrifices was too large. Only a small part was killed or knocked away. More were still being sacrificed, turning into streams of power and dissolving into the ancient will.
That ancient will slowly solidified.
Chu Youtian looked anxious, "What should we do? Should we kill these children?"
He gripped the spear tightly, but never made up his mind to throw it.
Xu Chunniang frowned and said nothing. She looked back at the buzzing stone pillar. The stone pillar had been stirring since the sacrifice began.
Chu Youtian followed her gaze to the stone pillar and his expression changed slightly.
“Why do these stone pillars look like they are about to break out of the ground?”
Xu Chunniang had an indescribable feeling. If all these stone pillars were forced out, then wouldn't the thing they suppressed be able to break free
The thing suppressed by the stone pillar is most likely the witch god mentioned by the villagers.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression was calm.
She took a step forward, and a blazing flame rose from her body, falling towards the tall altar as fast as a meteor.
For the first time, the indifferent ancient will showed shock and anger. It used its secret method without hesitation to convey its will to every fanatical descendant.
The natives who were fighting fiercely with the monks sensed the call of the witch god and burned their own blood and souls without hesitation.
Their bodies quickly shriveled up, and when they died, there was a satisfied smile on their faces.
The sharp cries of children were heard from the altar. The originally lengthy sacrificial ceremony was infinitely shortened, and their lives and souls were forcibly extracted.
Corresponding to this is the increasingly solid body of the ancient will above the altar.
It all happened so quickly that the flames didn't even have time to land on the altar.
Xu Chunniang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she could only watch as the heavenly fire continued to fall and engulf the altar.
She has no spiritual power and cannot control the heavenly fire.
The other monks woke up as if from a dream, and used various means to kill the ancient will.
However, the ancient will suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and what followed was the shaking of the entire valley.
Xu Chunniang looked back and saw that, as expected, the stone pillar had been shaken out two or three inches.
She pressed her hand on the stone tablet without hesitation, and a flame spread out from her hand and continued to fall along the stone pillar.
The stone pillar emitted a faint black light, and its upward momentum paused.
More fire is needed...
The little walnut sensed her intention and spit out a large ball of fire again, burning the stone pillars until they were boiling hot.
The valley shook more violently, revealing a hysterical madness.
Half of Xu Chunniang's body was buried by stones, but her hands were still firmly holding the stone pillar, without moving at all.
Finally, a dark light suddenly appeared in the stone pillar, and it suddenly dropped one foot.
The shaking in the valley became silent for a moment as the stone pillars fell back, and then the earthquake became more and more violent.
But at this moment, a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy came out from the stone pillar and rushed into Xu Chunniang's body through her hand.
Ever since entering the Land of Absolute Spirits, her Dantian and spiritual veins have become silent and dry, and she can't even absorb the spiritual stones given by Chu Youtian.
But when this pure spiritual energy fell into her body, it was like turning on a switch.
This spiritual energy moistened her dry spiritual veins like a refreshing rain after a long drought, and finally flowed into her dantian.
In the stone pillar, spiritual energy was still floating out from afar, but it was far from being as pure as it was at the beginning.
“It’s spiritual energy!”
Chu Youtian, who was buried under the stone, let out a cry of extreme surprise and began to absorb spiritual energy without hesitation.
By the time he rolled out from under the stone, the stone pillar had completely sunk into the ground, leaving only a small pit from which spiritual energy continued to overflow.
And Fellow Daoist Yan, who had smashed the stone pillar in with his own strength, had long disappeared.
The shaking in the valley had quietly subsided since someone had no idea when.
