This is a huge square with an area of nearly a thousand feet. In the center of the square, there is a huge battle formation diagram.
There are more than a hundred mid-level spirit stones embedded in various places in the formation.
At the center of the magic circle, there is a gray-white rectangular altar about five or six meters high.
This altar looks simple and crude, and is built with ordinary white stone.
On the four walls, there are several unknown rune symbols engraved, and apart from them, there are no other inscriptions.
At this moment, around the magic circle, there were more than a dozen upper-level immortal masters in the Nascent Soul stage.
These people all had solemn expressions and stood there quietly, as if they were waiting for someone.
Just like that, a meal passed and all around was quiet.
Afterwards, two women and one man walked in side by side from outside the restricted area.
The person walking to the middle was a slender woman in a silver robe. She had covered most of her face with a white veil, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.
Those eyes were clear and dreamy, as if hiding endless mysteries, making people feel intoxicated and breathtaking at a glance.
Her hair fell on her shoulders like dark clouds, and her skin was as soft and smooth as snow. Even if only a small part of her face was exposed, one could still feel her peerless beauty.
The man next to her was a handsome young man who looked to be only about thirty years old.
However, when his eyes flashed, they gave people a strange feeling that he had experienced countless vicissitudes, as if his eyes carried many unknown stories.
The woman on the other side was a charming beauty with a voluptuous and attractive figure.
She was dressed in a yellow dress and had strange long hair like purple satin. On each of her naked arms, there was a fist-sized black ghost head biting on it tightly.
But what was surprising was that this beautiful woman showed no sign of pain while her eyes were moving, as if the ghost biting her arm had no effect on her at all.
"See the Saint, the Great Immortal!"
When the surrounding immortal masters saw the three people coming in, they all bowed slightly to express their inner respect.
The three of them also nodded to the people around them, and then walked to a place about three or four feet away from the altar, then stopped and slowly turned around.
"Masters, there is no need to be so polite. This summoning ceremony is not only for hunting down the foreigner, but also our first attempt to allow the sacred beast's clone to stay in the temple permanently."
"I hope that all of you fellow Taoists will do your best to assist me."
"In order to increase the success rate of this ritual, the two great immortal masters spent more than ten years to find two suitable sacrifices for this spell."
"Two great immortal masters, please present the offerings first."
After the silver-robed woman turned around gracefully, her voice, as pleasant as the sound of nature, slowly came out, reaching the ears of everyone present with unusual clarity.
When the other Tuwu immortal masters heard this, most of them showed excitement on their faces.
The handsome young man and the purple-haired beautiful woman looked at each other, smiled slightly, and clapped their hands lightly.
Suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps came from outside the square. The footsteps were so heavy that even the ground shook slightly.
At this moment, some people were greatly surprised and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a team of huge bronze men, each two meters tall, walking in from both sides of the square.
Each team consisted of eight bronze men, all covered in golden light. They were carrying a huge wooden frame and walking slowly towards the center of the square.
And on the wooden shelf, there was a huge object vaguely visible.
When the wooden frame was carried step by step by the bronze man to the front of the altar and put down steadily.
Even the calmest person couldn't help but gasp after seeing clearly what was placed on the wooden shelf.
I saw a wild bull-like monster emitting green light all over its body, and a giant snow-white python circling several times.
They were all as huge as small mountains, and at the moment they were all drowsy and unconscious on the wooden racks.
Not only that, everyone present could tell just by the evil aura emanating from these two monsters.
These two monsters are both at the top level of level seven, and are about to become terrifying level eight monsters.
No wonder even if the two great masters took action, it took so much time to capture them alive.
"This Green Wind Ox and Ice Armor Python are both wild species, just right for sacrificial purposes."
"But whether we can really keep the holy beast's clone in the human world depends on the luck of our clan. Now, let's start the sacrifice."
The silver-robed woman's eyes were as cold and clear as autumn water. She glanced lightly at everyone present.
She spoke calmly, then raised a jade hand and waved it gently towards a giant beast on the wooden frame.
A bunch of silver threads instantly shot out from her jade hand, and in the blink of an eye turned into hundreds of silver ropes, which tied up the monster tightly in an instant.
Then, under the flash of silver light, the huge body of the giant bull floated up gently and slowly moved towards the altar.
At this moment, Qingniu, who had been unconscious, woke up.
As soon as it saw this scene, it knew something was wrong, and its whole body began to tremble violently, trying to struggle to stand up.
However, it had already been subjected to several extremely powerful restrictions, and with the hundreds of silver chains restraining it, how could it possibly move at all?
It could only be extremely shocked and angry, watching itself being floated and moved onto the altar.
It opened its mouth and wanted to roar something loudly, but no sound came out of its mouth, not even any hissing sound.
The woman in silver robe twisted her waist slightly and suddenly turned to face the altar.
Then he swung his silver sleeve, and a ball of green light the size of a fist shot out from it. After circling in the air, it landed on the huge body of the green ox.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mini tripod wrapped in light blue flames. The tripod was spinning non-stop, looking mysterious.
The woman began to make hand gestures, and the pleasant-sounding incantation slowly came out of her mouth.
As the spell sounded, the green flame began to rise, and the small tripod gradually began to grow larger, eventually turning into an ancient tripod about ten feet tall.
If Chen Yun was here and saw this scene, he would probably be stunned immediately. Because apart from the flame attached to the tripod, this ancient tripod actually looked 80% similar to the Xutian Tripod.
Both the shape and the patterns of flowers, birds, insects and animals depicted on them are almost exactly the same.
It's really incredible!
As Saint Tianlan's chanting became more rapid, she suddenly stretched out a jade-white finger and lightly tapped the ancient bronze tripod.
Then, an extremely dazzling green light burst out from the mouth of the cauldron and hovered in the void.
Then, bits of sparkling green sand floated out from the bronze tripod and transformed into endless starlight that enveloped the altar.
It makes people intoxicated, as if they are indulged in an illusory dream.
Upon seeing this, the woman in the silver robe immediately stopped chanting the spell and instead lightly tapped the thin iron chain that bound the monster on the altar.
Along with a flash of bright light, the iron chain that was originally tightly wrapped around the monster's body instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.
However, the monster did not gain freedom. Instead, it was punished more severely. The thin silver wire suddenly became like a sharp blade and cut down fiercely.
The powerful monster Qingfengniu was actually decomposed into hundreds of pieces in full view of everyone, and a strong bloody smell instantly filled the entire square.
At this moment, the green sand poured down on the altar like the Milky Way, completely burying the corpse of the monster.
In an instant, the surface of the monster's corpse was covered with a faint green light, and every grain of sand appeared and disappeared, as if greedily devouring blood and muscles.
This scene makes people feel creepy.
At this critical moment, a ball of emerald green light incredibly shot out from the body of the monster and flew straight into the sky. This was the soul that Qingfeng Niu had cultivated through untold hardships.
However, countless green rays of light shot out from the altar like a strong bow and crossbow, and in an instant they shot the light ball down from the air. Then green sand surged like a tide, completely engulfing the monster's soul.
The huge monster's flesh and blood disappeared without a trace in just the time it took to eat a meal, without even a bone left.
The green sand that had swallowed the flesh and blood rose into the air again, and each grain of it had a faint blood-red luster.
Faced with such a horrifying scene, the silver-robed woman remained calm. She waved her arms again, tied up the white python tightly, and moved it silently to the altar.
After the same blood sacrifice ceremony, Qingsha, after continuously devouring the spirits and flesh of two level seven monsters, finally transformed into a ball of blood-red mist, floating quietly above the altar.
The woman in silver robe cast a spell again at this moment, activating the huge bronze tripod. After a buzzing sound, the tripod slowly landed on the altar.
"I will now begin to summon the holy beasts. Please lend me a hand."
The silver-robed woman turned to look at the beautiful young woman beside her and spoke with a tone full of respect.
"This is what we should do. We will try our best." The handsome young man smiled and answered calmly.
The purple-haired lady also smiled softly.
The silver-robed woman nodded, raised her hands, and played quickly with her ten fingers. One after another, magic spells flew into the surrounding magic circles like meteors.
In an instant, brilliant light lit up in every corner, and the magic circle began to operate rapidly.
The giant tripod on the altar echoed with the magic circle below, also presenting bright and dark green light. However, the flame burning on the tripod seemed a little dim and weak at this moment.
The woman took half a step forward, raised her head slightly, and began to chant a profound and difficult to understand spell.
This time, the two great immortal masters at the side stretched out a hand at the same time and gently stroked the woman's shoulders.
Pure spiritual energy continuously poured into the woman's body.
The woman's whole body was emitting a silver glow, and in the center of her forehead, a strange pattern consisting of an ox head and a dragon body gradually appeared.
He crossed his hands and separated them, and two beams of extremely pure spiritual power transformed into light beams that erupted from his palms and violently hit the cauldron.
The bronze tripod began to rotate at high speed, absorbing all the white light.
Then, a green light suddenly erupted from the cauldron, and in the blink of an eye it gathered into a ball of light the size of a head, which continued to compress and condense towards the center, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Seeing the scene in front of her, the silver-robed woman looked solemn. The beam of light shot out from her hand began to grow larger and smaller, as if she was controlling the glow in the cauldron.
The handsome young man and the purple-haired beautiful woman next to them also did not dare to take it lightly. They continuously infused spiritual power into Saint Tianlan without stopping at all.
As time went by, the huge ball of light gradually became brighter and brighter, and began to emit a sharp and strong buzzing sound.
At this moment, the five colors of light, blue, red, yellow, white and black, surrounding the magic circle also bloomed. They kept rushing towards the huge ball of light, as if driven by some kind of magic power.
The silver-robed woman's eyes revealed an unprecedented level of vigilance, and the volume of the spell she chanted gradually lowered.
After a meal's time, accompanied by a deafening roar, the ball of light suddenly exploded between contraction and expansion.
A blue sun suddenly rose up, but it only existed for a brief moment before disappearing without a trace.
Instead, a blue, hazy light hole the size of an egg appeared at its original location. However, the hole only lasted for a moment before quickly disappearing.
In this brief moment, a blazing red light burst out from it and rushed straight towards the blood-red cloud in the sky.
The blood-colored sand suspended in the air swarmed over as if attracted by a magnet, tightly wrapping the red light and forming a blood-colored cocoon shell with a diameter of about one foot.
It can be clearly seen that there seems to be some kind of creature wriggling inside the blood cocoon.
The strange immortal masters around were all stunned at this moment, while the woman in silver robes silently controlled the giant tripod.
A large amount of green hair swept out like a storm, grabbing the blood cocoon from the air and bringing it back into the giant cauldron.
Then, a brilliant rainbow of light flew from the sky, covering the giant tripod tightly. The blue flames instantly soared to a height of two or three feet, completely engulfing the entire giant tripod in the sea of fire.
The magic circle below the altar began to gather amazing spiritual energy under the flashing spiritual light, and continuously injected it into the blue flame.
Saint Tianlan finally relaxed completely and took a deep breath.
"The ceremony went relatively smoothly, but we will have to wait a month to find out whether the sacred beast's clone can be successfully kept in the human world."
"However, there is no doubt that even if the Saint Beast's clone cannot stay in the human world for a long time, the seven or eight days it can stay here is enough for us to use the Saint Beast's magical powers to find the whereabouts of that foreigner." (End of this chapter)
