At the end of time and space, the Ancestral Temple.
The star coins rotated rapidly in the groove, and the countless boulders under the platform suddenly moved, as if some kind of switch key was pressed, making a low and loud noise!
As the stone community changed, these boulders were divided into twelve complex boulder arrays according to the positions of the twelve ancestral god stone statues on the edge of the platform, and were displayed in a circle below the crowd. The trend is similar to the Bagua trend of Daxia Taoism, but it is different. , there is a mysterious meaning hidden in the disorder.
"What is this? A maze?" Nezha asked in confusion.
Lingbao Tianzun stood in the center of the platform, looking down at the endless array of twelve boulders below, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he slowly spoke:
"If Pindao guessed correctly, this should be a ceremony for the Ancestral Temple to absorb the power of faith."
"Rituals? Do you need rituals to absorb faith?"
"They are different from us. In the myths of the ancestor gods of the primitive era, there is no such thing as the origin of the kingdom of God.
They gathered the invisible power of faith on the central platform, and through some mysterious method, converted it into divine power that could be absorbed by themselves, and then dispersed it into each ancestor god through these arrays of boulders. "
Lingbao Tianzun pointed at the twelve stone statues around him, and then pointed at the twelve boulder arrays below, "At the end of each boulder array is an ancestral god."
"The mysterious method of transforming faith into power?" Master Yuding asked thoughtfully, "How did they do it?"
"Even I don't know. This may be the biggest secret of the myth of the ancestral gods...it is even related to the existence of the gods themselves."
Hearing Lingbao Tianzun say this, everyone looked at the empty altar at the same time, seeming to be imagining what was originally placed on it...
"Tianzun, what should we do next?"
Guan Zai pointed to the array of twelve boulders below, "Would you like to go down and have a look?"
"After all, this is the kingdom of the ancestral gods from ancient times. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to continue exploring like this?" said a Daxia god.
"Not necessarily. The era of the Ancestral God has passed for too long. Even the Ancestral God itself has disappeared. There shouldn't be much danger here."
"If this ancestral temple was hostile to us, I'm afraid it would have reacted long ago."
“…”
While everyone was discussing, Lingbao Tianzun pondered for a moment, calculated with his fingers, and said:
"There should be no danger in this place... Since we are trapped in the wall of time and space, instead of sitting around and waiting, we might as well search separately. Maybe we can find some things left over from the era of the ancestor gods."
When Tianzun spoke, everyone immediately had no objections and agreed at the same time.
"Taiyi, you take Si Lu Xingjun, Shangsheng Xingjun, Taibai Jinxing, and this little friend Lu Wuwei to Shuizu Stone Array, Yuding, you take Shenjun Meng Zhang..." Lingbao Tianzun will here. Everyone is divided into groups one by one, trying to have a main god-level combat force in each group.
"...Little friend Zhou Ping, please take them to Leizu Stone Array. Finally..."
Lingbao Tianzun's eyes fell on Lin Qiye. After a moment of pause, he said, "Lin Qiye, you and Pindao go to Ancestor Stone Array."
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Yes."
After dividing the groups, Lingbao Tianzun took out the mother and child dragon flags and distributed the child flags to different groups. He kept the mother flag for himself to facilitate sensing the positions of all the child flags.
After doing all this, everyone walked off the platform and entered the corresponding stone array.
Lin Qiye followed closely behind Lingbao Tianzun, passed through a majestic boulder the size of a mountain peak, and entered the maze-like array.
The huge stones that make up the stone formation are each hundreds of meters high, and there is no trace of splicing and polishing. It seems that this stone is so huge and natural, but the size and outline are different, and they are intricately arranged, as if A forest of boulders.
As soon as Lin Qiye stepped into the array, the light above his head quickly dimmed, and a pitch-black sky shrouded the sky above the stone array, making it impossible to see any fingers within the array.
"Why did it suddenly get dark?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully.
"It's not that it suddenly got dark, it's that it's dark inside this huge stone array." Lingbao Tianzun walked in front of him and said lightly, "Viewed from above, these arrays are just some stone blocks with complicated arrangements, but among them There is much more to it than that.
Each boulder array here forms its own space. We are walking through the Dark Ancestor Stone Array, so the array of these stones corresponds to the Dark Ancestor's power. "
"Just some scattered stones can have this effect?" Lin Qiye stretched out his hand to rub the surface of a huge stone next to him. His hands were cold and rough, no different from the stones in the outside world.
"Don't underestimate the myths of ancestral gods. Although their existence seems primitive and rough, they have great power that you and I can't imagine."
Lin Qiye nodded. Here he could not use his mental power to perceive, and could only rely on his weak dark vision to barely follow Lingbao Tianzun...
cluster!
Groups of flames bloomed from the void around Lingbao Tianzun, dispersing the surrounding darkness and illuminating the array of boulders near the two people with incomparable clarity.
The familiar face looked back at Lin Qiye in the firelight and said softly:
"Now, can you see clearly?"
"… Um."
Looking at the Taoist's face, Lin Qiye's heart was slightly shaken. In a daze, he seemed to see Baili's fat shadow...
"The terrain here is complicated, and there may be some remaining institutions. Just follow Pindao... However, don't worry too much. Even if you get lost, Pindao can find you back as soon as possible." Lingbao Tianzun Said lightly.
These words fell in Lin Qiye's ears, giving him an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. He followed closely behind Lingbao Tianzun, struggled for a long time, and finally said:
"Tianzun..."
"What's the matter?"
"...Pangpang?" Lin Qiye said cautiously.
Upon hearing these two words, Lingbao Tianzun's footsteps paused and his figure stopped.
He let out a long sigh, and slowly turned around surrounded by burning flames, facing Lin Qiye with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Lin Qiye, Pindao... No, I know what you are thinking." Lingbao Tianzun paused for a moment, "Baili Pangpang is the last life of my reincarnation. Although he is not the most tortuous among my countless reincarnations, he is the most tortuous. I'm impressed.
You, Qingyu, Jiang Er, Cao Yuan, Jialan, Brother La... Baili Pangpang is the bond of [Ye Mu], and you are also his. No one understands this better than me. "Lingbao Tianzun pointed to his heart,
"I'm sorry that my return has taken away your Baili Pangpang, but we have no choice, and this is what he wants.
You have also seen Daxia's situation now. Now I must be Lingbao, not Baili Fatty... Can you understand? "
