Chapter 735 - 622: Altar

Chapter 735: Chapter 622: Altar

Yao Wenxuan nodded, saying, "If I’m not mistaken... this should be a remnant of the Demonic Sect from the Fourth Epoch."

As he spoke, Yao Wenxuan pointed to the Bone Altar below that was barely visible, covering at least thousands of kilometers, saying, "Because that thing, is quite likely to be the Dual Realm Altar that was popular in the Demonic Sect during the Fourth Epoch!"

It was said that the Fourth Epoch witnessed the unification of multiple Taoist Schools, giving rise to Dao Consistency.

Cultivation reached its peak during that era, but prosperity also led to gradual depletion of resources.

Great Cultivators with extraordinary talent emerged, some establishing realms of their own, others nurturing resources, but these were exceptions.

The mainstream trend was the School of Invasion Warfare!

Both the Righteous Path and the Demon Path used various methods to penetrate other realms and plunder resources for cultivation.

The Righteous Path often dispatched disciples or reincarnated directly into another realm, thereby controlling the world and making it a subsidiary world of their faction.

The tradition of the Earth Immortal Path rose during this time. The phrase "When one man achieves the Dao, his pets ascend to Heaven" originally referred to cultivators from the Lower Realm who returned with their world, bringing people to the Immortal World.

The Demonic Sect had too many destructive means, and the Array of Two Worlds seen in front of them was one of the main ones.

They sent a disciple to infiltrate, set up cult activities in the world, or used other chaotic means to create anchor points in that world. After connecting to this side, they opened a passage.

And then... it would lead to a Demonic Invasion, resulting in a catastrophe!

...

Wang Zijia looked at the Dual Realm Altar, then at the large hole in the sky that resembled a rupture, saying, "So this is where the Demonic Sect encountered stiff resistance, was counter-invaded and directly assaulted?"

"I don’t know." Yao Wenxuan shook his head, then nodded, saying, "Probably."

As they spoke, the two looked back the way they had come.

Then the battlefields outside might have been left behind by other cultivators resisting the counter-invasion.

"Let’s go down and take a look. If we really can’t find the way..." Yao Wenxuan looked helplessly at the large hole in the sky, his meaning clear.

He instinctively disliked crossing realms and traveling through the void, because his previous two experiences hadn’t been very good.

And if he had to cross realms from the sky, it would be even worse. He always felt that with his luck, bad things would happen.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia rolled his eyes and said, "Walk from above? Is that drilling out? That’s jumping into the pot! To launch an invasion into the Great Thousand World, even a Profound Immortal of the Immortal Three Realms would be hanging by a thread, let alone the existence of the Saint Third Realm!"

The Upper Three Realms, also called the Immortal Three Realms, are: Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, and Profound Immortal.

As for Turbid Immortal, Loose Immortal, and even God Monarch, they are now not included in the Immortal world. They have joined the ranks of Tribulation Crossing Cultivators!

Of course, this is for Immortals. For lower level cultivators, anything associated with the word ’Immortal’ is considered Venerable!

However, Yao Wenxuan seemed to have a lot of experience and said as if complaining, "It’s like that now, but what if we were stuck here for five hundred years, or a thousand years?"

Wang Zijia fell silent completely. If that were the case, he reckoned he would grit his teeth and give it a try too!

...

The two stopped talking, gathered their energy, and cautiously fluttered down from the destroyed mountain range to the Dual Realm Altar.

There should be something special about this core mountain of the sect, perhaps it had the special effect of suppressing space.

Whether it was the shattered mountain body or the destroyed mountain range area, the spider web-like spatial cracks were obviously much less.

If it weren’t for the traces of battle and the big hole in the sky, one would not be able to tell that this place was the center of a battlefield.

The two did not rashly venture directly into the core of the Altar, but instead landed on the edge of the Altar at the foot of the mountain.

Just standing on the edge, both of them could clearly feel an intense surge of ferocity and resentment coming at them.

Even after a few epochs have passed, it was still so terrifying, one could imagine how violent it was at that time.

The Altar was several meters high, all made of bones that stretched over a thousand miles with no end in sight!

And these weren’t ordinary bones, they were as white as jade, and full of spirituality.

They were clearly spirit bones!

At least it was the bones of a cultivator or a beast at the Middle Third Boundary!

"This is the Array of Two Worlds capable of invading the Great Thousand World!" Yao Wenxuan looked at the bones of the Altar for a moment, then calmly affirmed.

"Seeing it, this Altar with a range of more than a thousand miles could not have been constructed without spilling blood in several worlds, and killing a vast number of God Monarchs."

Wang Zijia looked at the Altar, saying, "After we find the way out, we could think about breaking these off. It’s good material for refining."

"Uh... You, an Immortal Venerate, also practice bone refining?" Yao Wenxuan said in surprise.

"What’s so strange about that? Not to mention that there’s no absolute right or wrong in law, but even the Bone Dao at most could be counted as Heterodox Dao. Even the Asura, Evil Ghost and other paths which come under the command of Yama, the ruler of ghosts, were once considered the Righteous Path!" said Wang Zijia.

As he spoke, he looked at Yao Wenxuan and said, "Aren’t you also cultivating Death Qi?"

Indeed, although Yao Wenxuan seemed full of vitality, his core was actually filled with extremely dense Death Qi!

"I just fear the prejudice of the practitioners of the Righteous Path." Yao Wenxuan said so.

"What kind of old-fashioned environment do you cultivate in? Nowadays, there are many Profound Sect Orthodox Schools in the Immortal World researching the Demonic Sects!" Wang Zijia said annoyed.

Of course, he himself could not be used as an example, but he was also a particle. Even if he was not included, aren’t there enough people like Jiang Mingda who had turned into a zombie in their Wanyu?

In this era, ever since entering the coffin turned from Heterodox Dao into Righteous Dao, and even helping with inheritance, the way has long become wild!

Who still fusses about the distinction between the Righteous and the Demonic based on Dao Consistency?

What they were discussing was their journey!

Yao Wenxuan went silent again, and neither of them spoke any further, stepping into the Bone Altar.

"Roar!"

"Ha-ha..."

"Ah..."

As soon as they entered the altar area, Wang Zijia’s brain seemed to explode.

Countless cries of desperation, roars of beasts, human grievances, and blood-soaked howls flooded his mind.

For a moment, Wang Zijia saw the apocalypse that shattered the world, and saw countless people facing the despair and powerlessness of the world’s destruction, along with their endless regrets and confusion.

He was nearly overwhelmed.

The resentment of the creatures represented by the bones at his feet was deliberately stirred by someone, presumably to turn it into an auxiliary power, strengthening the power of the altar!

Fortunately, Wang Zijia’s cultivation on The Way of the Heart was high enough, and the human skin paper figures mechanically maintained his status. Furthermore, after his journey through the Forbidden Area of Life in the Qinglian world, he had taken special precautions against these kinds of infringements.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it!

Wang Zijia’s whole body shook with energy, and the seven-colored God Wheel appeared from behind his head.

"Hmm!"

Yao Wenxuan groaned softly, and a peculiar lotus mark bloomed from between his eyebrows.

"God?"

"Dao power?"

Both were activated by the resentment of the altar, each revealing some of their trump cards.

They both looked shocked.

Wang Zijia was certain that Yao Wenxuan must have a grandfather because the lotus was filled with the power of the Dao!

This was the symbol of the Saint Third Realm!

Of course, it was still far different from the power of the Dao Fruit of Wang Zijia’s Balanced Scale!

Similarly, Yao Wenxuan, or rather the old monster in his mind, had completely confirmed that Wang Zijia was an old demon now.

He said in his mind, "I understand what’s wrong with him now, we must leave when we find a way out, we can’t stay with him for long!"

"What’s wrong?" Yao Wenxuan asked puzzlingly.

"Since the war of the worlds started in the Fourth Epoch, the Three Calamities gradually spread across Shen Hong, and even infected the Multi-Heavens. Then Du Shen Gun of the Money Calculators calculated with Stealing Heaven Money: Divine Evil Disaster, all the clans are crazy."

"After that, countless methods were tried, but they were unable to prevent the appearance of one Mad God after another. Then there were countless of believers who became mad demons. Even some special mad Demon Men emerged."

"When it was getting worse and spreading, some people took action, joining hands to completely cut off the root of the Divine Dao in the worlds that belonged to Shen Hong!"

"Not to mention now, even in the Fifth Era, there shouldn’t have been any Divine Cultivators!"

"But this guy... is a genuine Divine Cultivator! This is the biggest anomaly!"

"Those ancient Divine Robes from the prehistoric times, they were all quite demonic, but this guy looks good, his temperament, personality seem to be good, he is a standard Righteous God!"

Tong Old Ghost, in his words, was quite wary.

"Isn’t a Righteous God very good, why does it sound so scary when you say it?" Yao Wenxuan asked puzzledly.

"Wait until you lose yourself completely, with nothing but absolute worship in your eyes, taking his word as everything, then you’ll understand if it’s good or not!"

Old Ghost Tong, recalling some past events, said with lingering fear, "Mad Gods don’t differentiate between good and evil, they just go crazy in different ways."

"After the Divine Dao was tainted with the sins, there were no normal Divine Robes, otherwise, why would they ban a path instead of just exterminating the evil gods?"

"That’s right, it seems like he has also gotten into the Forbidden Area of Life in the Qinglian world!"

...

Wang Zijia’s thoughts were whirling like lightning, and the conversation in Yao Wenxuan’s mind was ongoing. Both of them glanced at each other and tacitly refrained from asking any relevant questions.

Only after Wang Zijia used the incense of Divine Thought, fostering countless devout prayers to suppress the resentment that was exploding in his mind, did he float towards the center of the altar.

Yao Wenxuan’s blood-white bicolored lotus mark on his forehead was flickering, and he, too, floated forward in the same manner.

The altar was indeed powerful, but many parts of it were also broken down. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to make it here with their levels of cultivation.

In particular, the areas that had been hit by the shattered mountain could clearly see a web-shaped fracture around them.

And those shattered mountain ranges were rather strange too.

Contrary to the rampant spread of spiritual machinery and mana infection around them, within the shattered mountain range, only two powers were entwined, endless resentment, and odd erosion.

The intertwining of these two powers had caused the vegetation on the original shattered mountain range to mutate, turning into flesh-like trees that resembled living creatures.

They squirmed, giving off a very eerie feeling.

Both of them felt the terror clearly but didn’t dare to try to check it out. They kept passing through the cracks in the shattered mountain range, heading towards the interior of the altar to search.

The altar was just too vast, almost like a small continent.

It even had multiple circles, extremely well-structured!
