Chapter 647 - 646: Ancient Altar, Dao and Blood Summon the Celestial Road [Part 1]
"No, why, did you see something?" Nezha looked at Lin Heng in confusion.
Lin Heng slightly frowned, looking up towards the summit of the plateau.
In the ethereal sea of clouds, ten giant fierce beasts could be clearly seen, guarding beside the blood-colored giant coffin.
The giant coffin drifted and floated in the deep Celestial Domain, while the chains linking the coffin to the fearsome beasts emitted overwhelming blood aura, making the scene so shocking and so public.
Yet Nezha claimed he saw nothing?
Lin Heng’s heart was full of doubt; could it be that Nezha was doing this on purpose to test Su Daji about something?
But as his gaze shifted, he noticed the Red-bottomed Macaque, Six-Eared Macaque, and Black Rakshasa.
They were looking around the plateau but conspicuously avoided the area where the ten fierce beasts were pulling the coffin.
This made Lin Heng silently suspicious.
"It seems like none of them could see it?"
Just as he was puzzled, Su Daji calmly responded to Nezha’s question.
"The Divine Coffin does not belong to this era. What lies within cannot be spied upon, cannot be discussed, cannot be known."
"Naturally, no one can see the Divine Coffin."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng’s eyes instantly sharpened, and the look he directed towards the ten beasts pulling the coffin became even more suspicious.
Because in his eyes,
The giant coffin drifting in the depths of the Celestial Domain had no concealment whatsoever, and could be seen at a glance!
"If it can’t be spied upon, can’t be known, then how do you know this plateau is the closest place to the Divine Coffin?"
The Six-Eared Macaque asked pointedly.
Su Daji paused, then with an earnest gaze and tone, said, "Because we, the Fox Race, are the emissaries guarding the Divine Coffin. The reverence for the Divine Coffin has been passed down from our ancestors and must be remembered for eternity!"
Upon these words, everyone turned silent,
Yet deep inside, they felt even more the mystery surrounding the ten ferocious beasts dragging the coffin.
What era did it come from?
What kind of presence lies within?
All remains unknown.
Only Lin Heng, for some reason, every time his gaze fell on that blood-colored giant coffin, felt as if he were staring into someone’s eyes.
In the unknown depths, it was as if someone inside that mysterious giant coffin was gazing at him.
He felt puzzled but chose to hide it, not revealing these things.
As they continued,
Accompanied by Su Daji’s devotion and silence, the others, including the Six-Eared Macaque, stopped their chatter.
Ascending the sacred steps, after several days they finally arrived at the plateau.
Here, one could reach out and almost touch the stars.
The sun and moon seemed to cycle nearby.
The galaxy was magnificent, the stars twinkling, and the vastness of the plateau was several times greater than the East Pole Continent in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm.
There were numerous caves and Dao Fields here.
All inhabited by the powerful Fox Race.
Additionally, there were areas flowing with mysterious forces, emitting the aura of rules.
In this Highland, Su Daji holds an extraordinary status.
Wherever she went, members of the Fox Race would bow to her.
As for Lin Heng and his company, after they were initially scrutinized, they were no longer paid much attention by the powerful ones.
Evidently,
For outsiders to enter the Saint Sect Highland was not an uncommon thing here.
And indeed,
Whenever outsiders were found, the Saint Sect would often send envoys to bring them here.
The only difference this time, perhaps, was the guide being Su Daji herself.
"We’ve arrived."
Passing through a mist, Su Daji stopped.
Everyone looked ahead.
What they saw was the primordial forces of the universe.
Wind, thunder, water, and fire.
They all converged towards a single place.
There was a massive altar, and at the five corners of the altar, mysterious five-colored flags stood firmly.
At the center of the altar was a character carved with knives and axes.
The character was so ancient that none could recognize it.
The traces of the ancient character bore a dark blood-red hue, emanating the aura of the Dao, grand and mottled, marks left by successive generations of powerful beings from different eras!
Nezha frowned, "Weren’t we supposed to see the World Mirror? What do you mean by this?"
Su Daji pointed upward at the altar and said, "There’s a Celestial Road leading to the World Mirror, but for the road to appear, a blood ritual is required."
"So, come, leave behind your Dao and blood essence to manifest the Celestial Road."
"Just so you know, if you’re not sincere enough, the road won’t appear."
Her bright eyes twinkled with a smile, leaving it unclear whether she was deliberately teasing them or speaking the truth.
"We need our own Dao and blood essence to see the World Mirror?" Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes full of suspicion, curious about the World Mirror while also growing somewhat cautious of Su Daji.
Nevertheless, Nezha was straightforward and decisive, walking directly towards the altar without saying a word, his primal blood essence boiling, and the Daoist skills he had practiced began to resonate thunderously within him.
He then cut open his palm, allowing the primal blood to gush out, falling into the ancient character in the center of the altar.
With his actions, the entire altar suddenly whipped up a fierce wind.
The power of the four elements reached its peak, causing the five-colored divine flags surrounding the altar to flutter wildly, and brilliant light blossomed from under Nezha’s feet. In the midst of dazzling splendor, an ethereal Celestial Road slowly emerged in the depths of the starry sky.
The Celestial Road was radiant, dazzling with divine light, and supremely brilliant.
"It’s really like this?"
The Six-Eared Macaque couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder, thinking that the Demonic Fox had ulterior motives, but unexpectedly, there truly was a wondrous Celestial Road here on the altar...
Soon after, everyone didn’t hesitate any longer, stepping one by one onto the altar, as the roar of hundreds of scriptures in their bodies offered their Dao and blood essence to the ancient character.
Following Nezha, Black Rakshasa, Six-Eared Macaque, and Red-bottomed Macaque,
they entered the altar one after another.
The Celestial Road grew ever clearer, with steps imbued with divine aura appearing in the starry sky.
At the same time, at the end of the Celestial Road, space began to tear apart.
Rifts like vines crept outward.
A mirror, not entirely symmetrical, appeared there.
"Is that the World Mirror?"
Everyone’s eyes focused, their hearts shaking.
The mirror was so enormous, like a vast hole in the sky, inside of which was pitch black, so deep it resembled a Celestial Abyss that one dared not look into directly.
"Indeed!"
Su Daji said, "Climb the Celestial Road and face the World Mirror; it will know whom you wish to revive and will give you the correct guidance!"
Having said that, she turned her gaze to Lin Heng.
"Taixu Celestial Venerable, it’s your turn to leave your mark in the altar."
Her beautiful eyes held a trace of excitement and anticipation as she looked at this newly ordained Celestial Venerable from Daoism, who she couldn’t quite see through.
She was eager to see the Dao that Lin Heng had cultivated.
At this, Lin Heng remained calm, not saying much, and walked directly into the altar.
As his blood essence began to boil,
Countless grand Dao resonated within him like a great bell chiming.
Daoist Purple Qi slowly manifested!
Simultaneously, chains of order encircled Lin Heng’s body.
Su Daji’s beautiful eyes widened to their fullest.
