When Qin Hao left like this, the old guy St. Peter suddenly didn't want to retreat. He agreed to escape before because he knew that Qin Hao and the others would not be able to take risks for themselves. Rather than die in vain alone, it would be better to retreat. , but now that Qin Hao has gone in by himself, he can try to follow behind.
Chu Ling'er was unwilling to leave. After all, she had already entered the realm of transformation. Even though she had entered the realm not long ago, she was still a master on par with Artoria. Since Artoria could enter, she had What's not allowed? Now seeing that Saint Peter was about to go in, she made up her mind and refused to leave.
Ares and Apollo are both stupid, but Hermes is very shrewd. How could he not know why Qin Hao arranged for them to stay, other than to take care of Chu Ling'er? What if something happens if Chu Ling'er wants to go in and they don't follow? He also hopes to rely on Qin Hao for help in the future, how can he dare to offend
I'm afraid Qin Hao didn't expect that he arranged for several people to retreat, but in the end no one actually left.
He was traveling quickly along the energy tentacles deep into the mountains. He didn't know why. Except for the initial attack, the energy tentacles in the cave where Qin Hao and the others were located had not attacked again. It seemed that they were attacked. It was like something was suppressing it, and it was trembling with convulsions, just like a person having an epileptic fit. Unlike other caves, the energy tentacles were bombarding like crazy, devouring an unknown number of people, and the surge of energy was heart-wrenching. Terrified, the wails and screams continued.
However, this saved Qin Hao a lot of trouble. At least, without these energy tentacles, he quickly reached the end and saw the so-called culprit.
In the deepest part of the mountain range, there is a huge space that is almost hollowed out. The cave is very large, with an area of at least dozens of football fields put together. But just in front of the stone wall at the end, there is a high platform. This high platform It was obviously a man-made construction, and it was almost completely covered by the energy of the power of faith at the moment, but Qin Hao could still vaguely see the vague Taoist symbols on it.
There is a golden cup displayed on the high platform. It is almost the same as the previous Holy Grail in Paris. However, compared to the one in Paris, this one is restless and takes too much initiative. The mouth of the cup is constantly moving outwards. The overflowing gray-black energy, full of evil aura, is the mutated power of faith. Obviously, the energy tentacles encountered in the cave before came from this.
However, that was not what Qin Hao cared about. The rim of the Holy Grail was covered with energy, making it almost difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. But when Arturia entered the cave, a golden light burst out from the rim, which was extremely dazzling. , it was almost impossible to open one's eyes, and one could only vaguely see a long golden object.
The golden flames danced in his eyes. Qin Hao held his breath and concentrated. Two golden lights shot out from his eyes like fiery golden eyes, like a pair of big hands tearing apart the power of faith, revealing the true appearance of the long golden object. This is a scabbard, with a golden and blue appearance, the same style as the Holy Sword. It is inserted into the mouth of the Holy Grail, but it looks like a sharp blade piercing the center of the Holy Grail.
"The scabbard of the holy sword!!!"
Arturia's voice of surprise sounded in the cave. Her purpose in entering the place of inheritance was to find the lost scabbard of King Arthur's lineage. Now that the thing was in front of her, how could she not be happy.
"Wait! This seems to be a seal!!!"
Qin Hao caught the excited woman in time. It was strange that the scabbard of the Sword of Victory was inserted into the Holy Grail. The key point was that it was obvious that the energy of the power of faith after the mutation was somewhat afraid of the sheath of the Holy Sword. It seemed that It was suppressed here, and the seal's technique and aura were still so familiar. It was almost exactly the same as the previous barrier seal outside the ancient battlefield site, and was made by one person.
However, what Qin Hao was confused about was why the sheath of the Holy Sword sealed the Holy Grail? What's the purpose? What would be the consequences if the scabbard was taken away to release the seal
For some reason, Qin Hao always felt a little uneasy in his heart. That strong feeling seemed to be telling him that once the seal was released, he might regret it!
The scabbard obviously also sensed the owner of the lineage. The golden energy was irritable and restless, and the body kept shaking, forcibly scattering several tentacles of the power of faith.
It seems that it was affected by the scabbard, and the attack of the energy tentacles became obviously much slower. It actually turned around and turned into several huge arms. It grabbed the scabbard and tried to pull it out. Apparently, it was to remove this thing that was hindering it. .
This thing was supposed to be dead, but now it is alive and has its own thoughts!
Moreover, Qin Hao has not forgotten that according to the old guy from St. Peter, there is another being in this mountain range who can injure Behemoth. Although he has not found any trace of him yet, he might be hiding somewhere. In one place, trouble may arise at any time.
"It is true that the Holy Grail has the power of faith, but it's a pity that this thing is not just the power of faith, it actually gave birth to life!" Saint Peter and the others also rushed to the cave and couldn't help but feel excited when they saw the scene in front of them. I clicked my tongue and was amazed.
"The power of faith is the power condensed by the faith of the Pope's believers. Faith is a kind of obsession. This thing has been stored in the Holy Grail for countless years. It makes sense to give birth to a spiritual body. Ordinary people's The soul is not strong, and the obsession is not that deep, but when the obsessions of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people come together, it will be different!"
Just like the resentful spirits Qin Hao encountered before, after death, the body and soul of a person originally disappeared and existed in the form of energy. In an era when spiritual energy is exhausted, there is no way to practice and there is no way to replenish energy. The original souls of ordinary people It is not strong enough, and it will soon be consumed and eventually dissipate between heaven and earth. This is what people often say about the first seven days and hell. The average soul cannot survive seven days at all.
However, if the obsession is deep and replenished with energy, it is possible to continue to exist and even practice. That is ghost cultivation. Like the old demon, even if his body has been dead for tens of thousands of years or even longer, his soul is still immortal, but it has never been replenished. No matter how powerful he is, he will perish, so he lives in Qin Hao's body and sleeps all the time.
Faith is equivalent to obsession. The obsession of living ordinary people is equivalent to the soul, which is part of the spiritual power. The power of faith of the Holy Grail should be to cut off a part of the obsession from the mental power and store it. The soul of ordinary people is very weak. , the part of the obsession that is cut off is even weaker, but it cannot withstand the large number. The obsessions of different believers from all over the world are stored in the Holy Grail. This energy is huge and it is difficult to dissipate like the souls of ordinary people.
For example, if a glass of water is exposed to the sun, it will easily evaporate and dry up in a short time. However, if it is a large river or even the sea, even if it dries up, it will probably take a very, very long time.
In addition, there must be a way to preserve the Holy Grail to prevent the energy from overflowing, so even after so many years, the power of faith in the Holy Grail has not dissipated. Instead, it has developed self-awareness. After all, an obsession can be considered cut off. It is not impossible for one thought, so many thoughts gathered together over a long period of time, to give rise to self-awareness.
Glancing at Chu Ling'er and the others, Qin Hao couldn't help but frown: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for us outside?"
Before Chu Ling'er could speak, a series of energy fluctuations and explosions came from the underground passage. Then a large number of monks entered the caves from various caves. They couldn't help but be jealous. Whether it was the scabbard of the Sword of Victory, which was an artifact, or it had huge energy. The Holy Grail is a rare treasure.
The former is a divine weapon, and the scabbard is more powerful than the holy sword body, otherwise it would not be used as a seal here. If the latter's huge energy is absorbed into the body and used for one's own use, the cultivation strength will definitely skyrocket. Moreover, this thing gives birth to self-awareness. Even if it is not absorbed and kept in the hand to cultivate slowly, it may be able to give birth to a very powerful spiritual body. It is possible to cultivate an existence with immortal spirit like a ghost or immortal. It is exciting to think about using this kind of existence for oneself.
"Qin Hao! Whoever sees it has a share! Don't even think about taking it for yourself!" Of course Constantine is also jealous, but he is not qualified to take this thing as his own. If you don't get something handed down from above, you will be derelict in your duty, and you will only face the consequences. It would be very tragic.
After he roared like this, the powerful men from all the major forces also agreed. Before the inheritance land was opened, it was said that whoever finds the opportunity will get it, and everyone will depend on his ability, but there are all good things in front of him that make people jealous. If Qin Hao takes advantage of himself to enter the cave and take it for himself, it will be inevitable. A dispute.
"That's right! Everyone who sees the treasure has a share. Anyone who dares to take it for himself, even the emperor, will be killed here!"
Words like these resounded in the cave, and all the powerful men directly targeted Qin Hao. The title of Human Emperor was still very useful. At least the powerful men present knew that this guy in front of them was a difficult guy to deal with, and they didn't dare to have any trouble. A hint of neglect.
However, as a result, Qin Hao became the target of public criticism, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, as if a war could start at any time.
However, Qin Hao just squinted his eyes, his body shook slightly, and the power of the soul exploded, locking and shaking the mental power of many masters, and then laughed: "It's okay, it doesn't matter who comes first, and I have no intention of monopolizing it." , feel free to do as you please!”
He was worried at the moment and didn't know how to start. These so-called strong masters came over to help. Want benefits? Okay, go ahead and hurry up and get it without risking your life. I want to see if you can get it!
Anyway, fellow Taoists are dead, but poor Taoists are not dead. After you finish testing, that’s when I will take action.
Of course Arturia was unwilling to give up the scabbard, but she was not a fool. She knew that Qin Hao had an agenda and did not say anything.
Constantine and others did not seem to expect that the dignified emperor could be so easy to talk to. He was completely different from before. However, this is not important right now. What is important is the treasure on the high platform.
"You know what's going on!" Constantine said with all his strength, but he didn't dare to go too far for fear of irritating Qin Hao.
However, at this moment, the power of faith that seemed to have developed self-awareness suddenly took action. I don't know if it felt that many humans present were trying to plot against it. The energy tentacles gathered at the mouth of the Holy Grail and suddenly exploded. Like a big explosion, the entire cave was covered in white, and white light shot up into the sky. The impact of the explosion went straight towards the many strong men who were rushing towards the high platform desperately! (To be continued)
