Abyssal Purgatory, Flesh Mountain Soul Pool
After receiving the approval of the Good Treasure Daoist, the group became even more certain.
This token was divided into three parts, each kept by one of the three owners.
Furthermore, each token is protected by an array, demonstrating the importance of the Sacrificial Altar.
After a trace of cultivation was injected into the tokens, the three tokens actually rose into the air on their own, flew to the top of the hidden array platform, and then began to rotate counterclockwise.
Immediately afterwards, visible Array Force emanated from it and poured onto the array platform.
A moment later, the Solitary Undefeated and his companions heard a loud bang!
Boom! The platform in front collapsed, forming a bottomless hole! An even stronger, more pungent smell of blood gushed out from the hole.
"It's open! The Sacrificial Altar must be underground here."
Mo Feng's eyes lit up when he saw this. He was about to go forward to check when he was stopped by Good Treasure Daoist: "Elder Mo, don't be in a hurry. You can't rush things. Find two people to try first. Wait for me a moment."
After saying this, Good Treasure Daoist flew away and soon returned with two shifty-eyed cultivators.
These are all based on experience. Treasures or anything important are always protected by layers of restrictions. Don't ask yourself how you know; it's just a matter of practice.
"You two dared to steal my celestial treasures that day, who gave you the guts?"
"Tell me, how do you two want to die?"
Good Treasure Daoist made a throat-slitting gesture and spoke coldly.
"My lord! No! My dear father! We were wrong!"
"Father, please spare us this time! Even if you send us to the cycle of reincarnation or to hell in the future, we will do it without hesitation!"
After a series of threats, the two shifty-eyed cultivators were so frightened that they knelt down and began to acknowledge him as their father.
"Who the hell is your father? I don't have two good-for-nothing sons like you."
"There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life: those who try to steal my immortal treasures and those who prevent me from stealing them. You two are the first kind."
"Originally, I was going to tear you two apart, but I am too kind-hearted to kill you. Now I will give you two a chance to live. Go ahead and lead the way."
Good Treasure Daoist pointed to the abyss ahead, and the two cultivators immediately understood that they were being asked to test whether there were any restrictions or anything there. It could be said that if they were not careful, their lives would be in danger.
Now, whether we stick our necks out or not, we'll either get killed or not, so we might as well take the risk! If we don't go, we'll surely die; if we go, there's still a glimmer of hope.
"Dad, let's go, we're going right now!"
After figuring it out, the two of them scrambled and stumbled towards the abyss ahead. Once they reached the entrance of the abyss, they took a deep breath and leaped down together.
Just as Good Treasure Daoist had predicted, the two of them triggered an incredibly terrifying restriction shortly after they went down!
With a loud "bang!", the two of them were blasted into a bloody mist! They didn't even have time to scream.
"Quasi Immortal Emperor level restriction! Holy crap!"
"Brilliant! Elder Shan Bao, you're truly amazing!" Mo Feng exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up in admiration.
If it weren't for Elder Shan Bao's intervention, I would be the one blasted into a bloody mist right now.
This is absolutely outrageous! A restriction powerful enough to kill Ninth Level God Lord has been set up here!
"Elder Shan Bao's consideration is indeed thorough," Wu Mei nodded in agreement, acknowledging that he was indeed a professional at handling such matters.
As soon as Wu Mei finished speaking, Mo Feng was eager to explore the cave again, so she quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, look, you're in such a hurry again."
"What if there are still restrictions? Are you out of your mind?"
After thoroughly investigating with his divine sense Solitary Undefeated at the forefront breathed a sigh of relief and turned to say, "It's alright now. The restrictions inside have been breached by those two. This is a one-time Quasi Immortal Emperor level restriction; it's useless after being triggered once."
Immediately afterwards, the four of them jumped into the abyss, which seemed to be a bottomless black hole.
Its depth was more than tens of millions of feet; it took them the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to fall before they finally landed safely.
Upon landing, a stench, like a raging torrent, swept over them! The smell was extremely foul, so strong it was almost viscous!
Fortunately, all four of them had very high cultivation levels, otherwise they would have been suffocated by the stench.
The surrounding environment was even more gloomy and terrifying, as if one had entered the abyss of hell, making one shudder!
"Look, that should be the Sacrificial Altar that the Soul Plunder God Lord mentioned."
Upon hearing this, the three of them, including Solitary Undefeated, looked in the direction Mo Feng was pointing.
In the distance, a tall, Black Sacrificial Altar stood alone in the endless darkness.
The Sacrificial Altar was also engraved with countless strange and obscure inscriptions that shimmered with blood-red light. The inscriptions also brightened and dimmed in a very regular pattern, as if they were breathing.
"Let's go take a look."
After saying this, Solitary Undefeated took the lead and walked over. After confirming that there was no danger, he directly climbed onto the tall Sacrificial Altar. After seeing the scene behind the Sacrificial Altar, his pupils shrank. "This is...?"
"What's wrong? Elder Gu Du?... Holy crap!"
"What the hell is going on behind this Sacrificial Altar?!" Good Treasure Daoist exclaimed in surprise.
What came into view behind me was a mountain of minced meat, so bad it was almost unbearable to look at!
Not only that, behind the mountain of flesh was an enormous pool, which was not filled with water, but with the souls of countless cultivators! Countless dull and unconscious souls were crammed together!
The true Flesh Mountain Soul Pool!
The group remained silent for a long time. Although they were all powerful figures in the immortal path who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the scene before them was beyond words.
"Is this the great secret hidden in the Dark Domain Forbidden Zone? Those mountains of flesh and soul pools are probably the remains of cultivators who died in the Forbidden Zone since ancient times."
After a long silence, Solitary Undefeated withdrew his gaze and said, "I just don't know what kind of depraved force collected their flesh and souls here. Are they going to use this Sacrificial Altar beneath their feet to sacrifice something?"
"Brother Lonely, do you still remember that Firmament Blood Pill? It was refined from the bloodline and energy of countless fallen cultivators at the Pill Refining Conference. Do you think it might be the same here?"
"Bloodline and energy are used to refine elixirs, but what are flesh and soul used to refine?"
Mo Feng's words made the others realize that upon closer examination, it was indeed possible!
"No, we must report what happened here to the sect leader immediately."
"No, every single detail of what happened in the Dark Domain Forbidden Zone these past few days must be reported, without missing a single detail. What if we miss something?"
"In addition, send another team of Heavenly Rank Shadow Guard from the sect to seal off this place. From now on, no one is allowed to enter without the sect leader's order."
P. S.: There's one more chapter. No matter how far apart we are, our hearts are always connected. Could you please urge me to update? Thanks, everyone.
