Li Yan nodded, he could understand the meaning of Great Elder's words.
A race like Tianli Clan that fights with Wind Beast almost every day has been passed down from generation to generation, and there must be countless heroic tribesmen.
But what they need more is spiritual support to continuously inspire future generations, rather than letting future generations only see the tragic side of their ancestors.
The speed of the two seemed slow but urgent. Soon, a wide square appeared in front of Li Yan.
Along the way, Li Yan made a rough estimate and found that there were tens of thousands of statues, which was so numerous that it was chilling.
Looking at both sides, they are densely packed, like neat tombstones, standing in endless years.
The square can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are huge stone pillars erected around it. Three or four strong men cannot hug these stone pillars. Each stone pillar is more than thirty feet high, and the top of it seems to be pressing a disk.
On the other side of the square facing the stone road that Li Yan and Great Elder came from, there was a huge creature crouching there. It was a statue that existed like a mountain. It was so big that even Li Yan felt a sense of oppression.
It was a beast that looked like a ferocious tiger, with a body like a bullfight, sharp hair, a pair of Demonic Wingss on its back, and a huge mouth and fangs. It was Qiongqi, one of the four peerless ferocious beasts.
"This is the outskirts of the ancestral land. It will only be opened when something major happens in the clan. Just like the last heavenly sacrifice Attendant held for the second elder, it was held here. However, those clan members can only reach here."
Great Elder meant what he said. Li Yan also understood that people of this ethnic nature must have cohesion and a belief. Therefore, no matter how sacred the ancestral land is, it needs to be felt by the tribesmen.
There are tens of thousands of statues like this, which allow the tribesmen who can enter their ancestral land to feel the spirit of their ancestors, giving them a greater sense of identity and cohesion.
However, people cannot enter the ancestral land at will, otherwise the sense of mystery and respect will be lost.
Especially people like Gong Chenying, because after leaving the ethnic group since childhood, they have only entered once during the last heavenly sacrifice Attendant.
The clansmen who can enter here will be proud of it, even the pride and honor of his clan.
Great Elder just introduced him casually, because it would be difficult for Li Yan to come here again in the future, so just let him have an understanding.
While he was speaking, he kept walking towards the huge Qiongqi opposite.
"This statue of the holy beast was carved by the first generation High Priest. At that time, the second generation High Priest had already appeared in the clan.
The first generation High Priest had been in seclusion for 1,600 years. Suddenly he had an enlightenment and carved this statue of the holy beast, and then it ascended away. "
"Oh? What level of cultivation had she reached at that time?"
Li Yan also knew some information about the first generation High Priest, such as the fact that she moved here, but she didn't know much about it, so she still asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know. The first generation High Priest had already reached Spirit Transformation Realm at that time, but she was trying her best to suppress her own state. Because she was the first generation, her responsibilities were greater and heavier, so she had been waiting for the second generation to appear.
</di>
And when the second generation appeared, she did not choose to ascend immediately, but entered the ancestral land that she had created herself.
After Gong Shen was created, he finished carving the statue of the holy beast and left another Jade Slip for the second generation High Priest. He drifted away without even meeting anyone. "
Great Elder shook his head.
Every generation of high priests and elders of their Tianli tribe lived a very hard life, waiting for the subsequent strong men to appear before they could ascend with confidence.
Otherwise, they would rather suppress their cultivation and block their path to immortality, or remain in the lower realm. This is also the difference between an ethnic group and a sect.
In the ethnic group, there are often more people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, because they have the same blood in their blood, and they have been proud of the entire ethnic group since they were young, and are proud of it.
As the two of them approached, Li Yan kept looking forward, looking at the huge statue of the sacred beast.
Li Yan At some point, whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the statue of the sacred beast in front of him seemed to have entered a fog.
I have been getting closer, but I feel like I am far away and then close, and I can't grasp the direction.
At this time, Great Elder had been observing Li Yan's reaction. He did not tell Li Yan that those Tianli Clan people who entered the ancestral land were not allowed to look directly at the statue of the sacred beast like this.
They would keep their bodies bowed devoutly, and from beginning to end, they would only pray silently in their hearts without daring to raise their heads. Similarly, those people were not allowed to walk through half of the square.
Because when they get there, if someone peeks at the statue, even Great Elder can't save them, and their minds will be lost in an instant.
It was like his soul was sucked away by a holy beast, and he became stupid and nirvana, or even died on the spot.
Only when they have practiced "Qiongqi Purgatory Art" to the sixth level, or have practiced other skills to reach Nascent Soul Middle Stage, can they gaze at this sacred beast statue.
Normally, the Tianli Clan members would only cross half of the square when they pass on and practice the seventh-level skills. At this time, Li Yan and Great Elder had already passed half of the square.
Gradually, in Li Yan's eyes, the statue seemed to be alive. It was half squatting and half sitting, but it stood up immediately, and a long-lasting Savage Wilderness aura suddenly rose into the sky.
His red hair was burning like fire, and his fierce eyes seemed to be bearing down on Li Yan with overwhelming pressure.
Li Yan couldn't help but pause slightly, and at this moment, in his dark eyes, the figure of a giant beast covered with one claw was reflected...
Li Yan only felt that his body was unable to move at all in an instant. All that was left in his eyes was the huge claw that could cover the sky and the sun, and it slapped hard towards his head...
The boundless life and death crisis instantly arose in Li Yan's heart. The scene around the square in front of him had completely disappeared, and even Great Elder had also disappeared.
Between heaven and earth, there is only that
With the power of a claw, huge cracks were torn out in the hazy world here in an instant. Li Yan felt that he was not as small as an ant.
However, no matter how much he activated his magic power, his body could not move at the moment.
"I am already a great monk Nascent Soul Late Stage. I feel that I should have the power to escape even when facing monk Spirit Transformation. But why now, I don't even have the power to resist..."
Li Yan felt anxious, but before he could finish thinking, the claw slapped his head with the roar of the power of heaven and earth.
Li Yan There was an unbearable pain in his head, and he wanted to scream.
A large area of bright red appeared in front of him, blocking his sight. There was an indescribable and boundless pain in his soul, flesh and blood, and in the seams of his bones.
"Wrong?"
At the moment when this heartbreaking pain spread throughout his entire sea of consciousness, the golden Nascent Soul villain in Li Yan suddenly stood up.
In his limbs and eyes, five-color brilliance burst out instantly, and Li Yan's mind immediately felt a little clear. At the same time, the five-color brilliance flowed to his limbs and bones, and a sense of coolness filled Li Yan's body in an instant.
Everything in front of him disappeared, and the severe pain that penetrated his soul also mysteriously disappeared.
In front of him, there was still the huge statue of the sacred beast, half-crouching in the same position as before, as if everything just now had never happened before.
"The pressure is so overwhelming!"
Li Yan There is a sparkle in his eyes. High-level monks demonstrate against low-level monks, and even kill them. They may not need to take action. Just a look or a breath can make them comatose or die. This is pressure.
Of course Li Yan can also use it, and when he was weak, he also felt pressure that was stronger than him time and time again, but it only made him fearful or have symptoms such as surging blood.
But the coercion on the statue of the holy beast in front of him made him hallucinate. This was absolute suppression in terms of strength. Even if Li Yan had already reached Nascent Soul Late Stage, there was still a huge gap between the two.
"What kind of realm did the first generation High Priest reach when carving this statue? In this statue, there is some power of rules that is beyond the realm of the Nascent Soul Realm."
Li Yan was truly shocked this time. He thought that after arriving at Nascent Soul Late Stage, there wouldn't be much in this world for him to worry about, but unexpectedly he encountered this situation soon.
But Li Yan can also guess that this statue of the holy beast cannot really get up and attack people. It's just that the person who carved it is too high, which gives this statue some power of rules.
This should be a power of rules that only the four ferocious beasts Qiongqi can master.
From one Great Elder perspective, what Li Yan had just experienced, he just slowed down his steps gradually, then paused and stood there, his eyes still staring ahead.
But in just a little more than a breath, Li Yan returned to normal. His eyes were clear, but he no longer stared at the statue of the sacred beast in front of him.
</di>
, but turned to look at him.
"Prince Yan has superb cultivation, and I admire him. This is not because I don't tell you, but even if I don't let you see it, it will probably only make you more curious.
But as long as you don't fall under the pressure for more than ten breaths, there is no problem. If it exceeds ten breaths, your sanity may be affected. "
Great Elder chuckled.
Li Yan also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
What the other party said is true, especially now that I have reached Nascent Soul Late Stage. If Great Elder doesn't let me look at the statue of the holy beast, I guess I will be even more curious.
"Let's go over, but this time, Prince Yan really shouldn't stare at the statue of the holy beast. Not only does it contain a trace of the power of the rules of the Qiongqi holy beast, but it also has a lot of faith power from the people of our tribe.
Especially as they continue to get closer, the power of the two will only get stronger and stronger. Although Prince Yan has great cultivation, it is better not to try. After all, he is here just to pass on the skills, hehehe! "
"Great Elder, thank you very much!"
Li Yan suddenly spoke and said something like this.
Although Great Elder said it so politely, Li Yan understood what Great Elder really meant.
He is a veteran Nascent Soul Late Stage monk, and he has a deep understanding of the mental state of the later great monks.
Great Elder knew that he had just joined Nascent Soul Late Stage, and he must have felt that he had few opponents in this world.
The situation is really like this. Even with Li Yan's always cautious character, after being promoted to this level of cultivation so smoothly, it is inevitable that he will have the mentality of being the best and looking at the small things in the mountains.
So the opponent conveniently borrowed the pressure of the Tianli Clan ancestral land to suppress the great monk Nascent Soul Late Stage, and deliberately made Li Yan feel the approaching death again.
This is to remind myself that there is no limit to art, and you should never be contemptuous at any time.
"Hehehe, okay, let's go in!"
Great Elder just smiled and stopped entangled in this matter. Li Yan could understand his painstaking efforts in an instant, and he was also very relieved.
Talking to smart people is a very pleasant thing in itself.
As he finished speaking, the crutch he held every day appeared in his hand, and he tapped it lightly towards the base of the sacred beast statue in front of him.
Suddenly, a slightly red door appeared in the void in front of him and Li Yan.
Great Elder had already taken one step forward and came to the door. He stretched out his hand to push, turned back and smiled at Li Yan, and then stepped in first.
Li Yan Seeing that he was still nearly half the distance from the statue in front of him and still staying in the square, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It turns out that here, he can open the inner passage to the real ancestral land at any time, and he also deliberately let me come here..."
As thoughts arose in his mind, Li Yan followed him in. The moment he stepped in, the red door also disappeared.
