The other masked man seemed to have a higher status than the one asking the question.
Hearing his question, he said: "What should we do? Of course, we should proceed according to our original plan.
War is about to break out. We may not win this battle, but we must not lose badly either, otherwise we will not have enough time to accumulate the essence, blood, and soul energy to launch a large formation.
Also, we must find the guy who can destroy the formation. He may have a huge impact on our plan."
… … …
At this time, Ye Li, after waiting for three days, finally welcomed the opening ceremony of Haiyuan.
Early in the morning, he followed Luffy and walked towards the center of the continent. The abyss was right in the center of the continent.
The Great Chief’s Village was not far from the sea abyss. In less than an hour, everyone arrived near the sea abyss.
Surrounding the sea abyss was a whole row of small hills, and in the center of the hills, underneath a huge bowl-shaped basin, was the seal of the sea abyss.
Ye Li followed Luffy to the top of the hill. Standing on the cliff, Ye Li looked forward. The huge basin with a radius of more than ten miles shocked him.
The high priest was also next to Luffy at this time, along with some priests and chiefs.
According to past practices and rules, Luffy needs to perform a ceremony to worship his ancestors before opening the seal.
According to the legend of the Haiyuan clan, all life comes from the Haiyuan and returns to the Haiyuan after death, so there is endless life force in the Haiyuan.
Luffy, the high priest and his party walked down the hill and headed towards the center of the basin.
In the center of the basin, there is a huge platform with a radius of nearly 100 meters.
There is a high platform on one side of the platform, which looks very much like an altar with some offerings placed on it. It seems that this is where the ancestor worship ceremony is held.
When a group of people arrived here, Ye Li did not stand among the crowd, but stood alone on the periphery. After all, he was not a member of the Haiyuan clan.
Xiaoqing was still gliding in the sky with the wind, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Ye Li looked at the blue sky and suddenly felt a little lazy. How nice it would be if the world was as peaceful as it is now.
It was a pity that he still had the responsibility to save all living beings, and to find his mother and bring her home. Only after everything was over, would he have the chance to enjoy the peace of mind.
Soon Luffy led everyone to stand in front of the altar. As the new chief of the Haiyuan clan, he took the lead and walked up to the altar.
Following the steps of the ceremony, Luffy began to recite the words of the prayer.
The objects of their prayers are the spirits of their ancestors who have returned to the abyss, and what they pray for is the stability and prosperity of the entire ethnic group.
The ceremony lasted for about an hour, and when all the procedures were completed, Luffy walked down from the altar.
At this time, everyone was kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads facing the center of the stone platform.
Luffy waved at Ye Li, motioning him to come to his side.
After Ye Li left, Lu Fu said softly: "Brother Ye, you must have waited for a long time. I will take you into the abyss now.
I will then tell you how to leave the abyss, and you can practice in it on your own."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li nodded excitedly. Being able to practice in a place with infinite life force, he could use the Cosmic Gourd to elevate his realm to an astonishing level.
After Luffy finished speaking, he took Ye Li towards the center of the stone platform. When they were about fifty meters away from the center, a huge stone door appeared under their feet.
The stone door was built on the ground, and various rune formations were engraved on the door, which looked extremely mysterious and complicated.
Even with Ye Li's knowledge as a weaponsmith, he was completely unable to understand these mysterious runes.
Luffy stood in a groove in front of the stone gate with a serious face. After muttering a few words, he stretched out his left hand and took out an extremely sharp dagger.
Holding the dagger, Luffy gritted his teeth and scratched the blade on his left finger, leaving a blood mark on his finger.
With a squeeze, drops of blood dripped from Luffy's fingers and fell into the small pit in front of them.
The blood that dripped into the small pit was slowly absorbed by the stone gate, and thin blood-red lines began to flow along the stone gate.
These thin lines are not made up of Luffy's blood, but they carry an extremely strong life force.
Watching the thin line spread, Luffy retracted his fingers and then drew another spell with his right hand.
He threw the talisman at the door in front, and a loud earthquake came from underground.
Ye Li's body swayed slightly and then he stopped. At this moment, he had begun to stare intently at the stone door underground in front of him, because the stone door in front of them was slowly opening.
Behind the cracked stone door, an extremely huge abyss was revealed, and the sound of sea waves could be heard faintly.
As the stone gate continued to expand, shock began to slowly creep onto Ye Li's face.
In front of them, a huge pit with a diameter of 50 meters appeared, and below the pit was a huge abyss with a diameter of more than several hundred meters.
In this huge abyss, countless sea waters gathered from all directions, which must be the waterways that crisscrossed the underground of the entire continent.
After the sea water gathered in the abyss, it began to rotate and was sucked into the abyss in a spiral shape.
There were huge stone pillars of unknown length extending from the ground around the abyss. Following these stone pillars, there were rows of spiral stairs extending downwards until they reached the invisible area deep in the abyss.
Ye Li stood at the stone gate and looked down, only to find that although there were rune lamps on the stairs in the abyss, they could not see the scenery in the depths at all, because the abyss was too deep.
"This abyss is so deep!!!"
Ye Li couldn't help but sigh, and in his body, Tunri, Qingzhou and Linglong were also observing the abyss in front of them.
Waves of extremely strong life force, as if condensed into substance, emanated from the abyss under the stone gate, spreading out in the form of green mist, rapidly diffusing in all directions.
The moment Ye Li felt these life forces, his body shook, and Linglong had already begun to devour these life forces impatiently.
The members of the Haiyuan clan surrounding the stone platform all had smiles on their faces at this moment.
The concentration of these life forces in the abyss is so high that they are almost unable to absorb it. If they enter the abyss, they will definitely be gradually assimilated by the life forces. But now that these life forces have become thinner, they can absorb them at will.
