The team moved forward slowly on the rugged road, and soon they were far away from the crowds.
Ning Xue followed them like a ghost.
His steps were light and his breath was restrained, and the priests in front of him were not aware of it.
Not long after, the team entered a hidden valley surrounded by towering rock walls, with a naturally formed passage at the mouth of the valley.
Ning Xue lurked above the valley, watching calmly below.
On the flat place at the bottom of the valley, stands a simple stone ancestral hall.
The entrance to the ancestral hall is two tightly closed thick stone doors carved with complex patterns.
In front of the door, five guards in priest uniforms stood upright.
The procession stopped in front of the ancestral hall.
The sedan landed, the gauze curtain was lifted respectfully, and Ziyuan walked down expressionlessly.
When several guards saw her, they immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to show awe.
Shion nodded slightly in response.
The old priest stepped forward, whispered a few words to the guards, and asked Shion for instructions. The guards then stood up and slowly opened the two thick stone doors.
The stone door opened, revealing the dark passage behind it. Shion took a deep breath and seemed a little nervous.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and stepped into the passage resolutely.
The old priest and Ashitaba followed closely behind.
After a few people entered, the stone door slowly closed again.
Above the valley, the lurking Ning Xue saw several people entering the ancestral hall and realized that this was an opportunity.
Some blue veins immediately appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"Byakugan!"
The vision instantly penetrates the rock and projects into the interior of the ancestral hall deep in the valley.
However, just when his sight was about to touch the space behind the stone door, a powerful and strange resistance suddenly appeared.
Strange purple lines appeared in his field of vision, blocking Byakugan's prying eyes.
"Tsk... enchantment."
Ning Xue realized that this was a barrier to prevent snooping, so he removed Byakugan.
It seems that Land of Demons's sealing powerhouse is very well protected from prying eyes.
It is impossible to directly peek into the internal ritual process.
Then, he turned his attention to the guard below and murmured.
"It's just that the guards are a bit weak."
Since I can't pry, I can only find an opportunity to get in touch and learn the sealing method up close.
Inside the stone gate is a long and depressing passage filled with light purple smoke.
At the end of the passage, there is a wide field covered with talismans, and the shrine in the center is the target that needs to be reinforced this time.
Shion walked in the front, walking steadily, but if you look carefully, you can see that her fingers hanging under the wide sleeves of her robe are slightly curled.
So depressing...
She suppressed the instinctive uneasiness in her heart and walked towards the shrine in the center.
Passing through a layer of weak blue barrier, we came to the legendary stone door that sealed Mōryō.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her right hand, with her palm facing the stone door.
Her lips parted slightly, and an ancient and obscure mantra flowed out in an ethereal and solemn tone.
At first, only ethereal sounds echoed in the empty stone chamber.
But as the spell continued, all the sealing runes carved on the walls and the ground gradually emitted a lavender light, becoming more dazzling as time went by.
When the last syllable fell, the surrounding Cursed Seal seemed to resonate, and countless light points converged on Shion's hands, eventually turning into a strange torrent of energy and pouring into the stone door.
After Shimen accepted this power, the mantra on the surface burst out with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire secret room.
After a while, the light slowly faded away, and the secret room returned to its primitive and silent appearance.
But the vague restlessness seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"... Okay."
Shion put down his numb arms and turned around, still maintaining an indifferent expression, but speaking faster than usual.
"The reinforcement is complete. Let's go quickly."
At the same time, above the valley.
The lurking Ning Xue keenly captured the strong fluctuations that erupted in the barrier below.
This wave was different from any Chakra he had ever sensed before. It had ancient connotations, strong sealing power, and even a hint of purification. It was completely different from the regular Sealing Jutsu he knew.
It seems that Land of Demons came to the right place this time.
(Well, how about I collect some opinions? Let me know if you have any problems. I feel like there is something wrong, but I don't know where it is. Maybe I am too lazy to think of it.
Anyway, thank you everyone)
