In the Lotus World, in the central square of the Holy City, the six-hundred-year-old holy fire was burning brightly. The four black-robed high priests slowly stood up and began a mysterious sacrificial ceremony around the holy fire.
Thousands of black-robed priests faced the center of the square and prayed devoutly; behind the priests were countless dignitaries and residents of the holy city.
The five-year temple sacrificial ceremony officially begins.
Amidst the sacred prayers, a thin young man stood at the front of the crowd, staring closely at the everlasting holy fire in the middle.
The boy's name is Tianci. He is fourteen years old this year. He was born in a small village. Four years ago, he accidentally sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by the lake and began to try to breathe it in. A year ago, the temple priest Kule discovered Tianci and began to guide his practice carefully.
.Three days ago, Priest Kule led Tianci to fly to the Holy City to participate in the temple sacrificial ceremony that occurs every five years.
According to the plan, after the sacrificial ceremony began, Tianci and other eleven lucky young men first went to the Holy Cultivation Cave to pay homage to the 'saint', and then went to the temple to take a chance, and then officially joined the temple priests who were respected by thousands of people.
These are exciting times.
Following the strange steps of the four black-robed priests, the holy fire quickly grew in size, illuminating everyone and guiding the direction of prayer.
Under the sacred fire, the priest of Kule moved a stone slab to reveal a deep cave.
Holy Cultivation Cave, the practice place of Ka Zong, the saint of the Lotus World.
A ball of golden light appeared in the air, quickly grew in size, and instantly covered the red light of the holy fire, interrupting the priests who were praying devoutly.
The golden light turned into three golden-armored gods. The golden-armored god in the middle glanced at the living beings in the square, unfolded a scroll with both hands, and after a moment, a divine thought was transmitted into the minds of every living being:
"The Ka clan's betrayal is a heinous crime. The commander-in-chief orders the genocide to be exterminated!"
Next to the holy fire, a black-robed high priest rose into the sky, wanting to find out. A beam of golden light fell from the sky, and the high priest was instantly wiped out. The beam of light hit the holy fire directly, and the giant cauldron carrying the holy fire was torn into pieces. The six-hundred-year-old holy fire was dying.
.
Another beam of golden light fell from the sky, and the golden light turned into a light blade, drawing a huge ravine in the lotus world, splitting the entire world in half.
The two beams of golden light were like an attack signal. Countless beams of light and light waves fell from the sky, attacking the entire world indiscriminately.
Countless priests rose from the square and angrily killed themselves high into the sky; the priests, who were like gods in the lotus world, were as weak as ants in front of the three golden-armored gods.
The golden light swept over and disappeared into ashes.
The worm shakes the tree!
In the face of this destructive power, all struggles are in vain.
Seeing the priests falling one after another, Priest Kule flew towards the Holy Cultivation Cave with the eleven young men who were already frightened.
A beam of golden light affected Priest Kule, the protective shield shattered, and the five young men beside him instantly dissipated.
Priest Kule vomited a large mouthful of blood and tried his best to send the remaining six teenagers into the cave. Holding back the pain, he pulled the three seriously injured priests who fell nearby into the cave, covered them with stone slabs, and sealed them.
entrance of the cave.
Under the command of Priest Kule, the six teenagers walked into the cave along the sloping steps.
At the end of the steps there is a ten-foot-long circular stone chamber with many murals carved on the surrounding walls; in the middle stands a tall and burly bluestone statue.
‘Holy Cultivation Cave’, a place of faith in the Lotus World.
At the entrance of the cave, three seriously injured priests were healing each other, and six teenagers were huddled aside and shivering.
Listening to the sound of the destruction of the world outside, Priest Kule wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bowed deeply to the stone statue of the saint in the middle, turned around and said to the six teenagers:
"Following the sacrificial procedures, I will introduce the Holy Cultivation Cave to you. Come over and salute the saint."
The six young men supported each other, walked to the stone statue, and bowed deeply.
In the Lotus World, everyone who enters spiritual practice must come here to pay their respects and pay homage. This is the rule.
Ignoring the destructive noise outside, Priest Kule faithfully completed his 'job':
"The saint's real name is Ka Zong. Like most of you, he was born in a poor village. He entered spiritual practice at the age of twenty. He was blessed by the temple and his cultivation level increased greatly. He formed a group of priests, drove away the demonic monks who enslaved the world, and built a holy temple.
City, pass down the practice methods, reform the world order, build ice caves, and soar in the daytime...
Priest Kule explained the murals carefully, and the six teenagers were gradually attracted by the legendary deeds of Ka Zong, and gradually forgot that the world was being destroyed.
The three golden-armored gods discovered a white jade palace: twenty feet long, ten feet wide, with cornices at the four corners. The whole body was white jade, without any trace of carving, and it was completely natural.
No matter how tall or sturdy the building is, it becomes vulnerable in front of the golden beams and light waves. But for this strange jade palace, all attacks are ineffective against it.
Out of great curiosity, the three golden-armored gods suspended the golden light that destroyed the world and instead besieged the Jade Palace.
Accompanied by the holy white light, the palace is still intact.
"We don't have much time. This thing is weird, so don't delay."
The Golden Armor God did this together, and along with a burst of dazzling golden light waves, a roar spread throughout the world:
"kill!"
The sound moves the world!
All the creatures in the Lotus World had their hearts broken and their seven orifices bleeding to death.
The golden-armored god formed a strange seal on his hand, and all the corpses of the creatures rose into the air and flew towards the white jade stone palace.
The tall corpse mountain completely buried the white jade palace:
"If it can't be destroyed, then corrode it!"
Flying sand and rocks covered the corpse, and a mountain of earth that buried all the creatures in the world appeared in the lotus world.
A god in golden armor took out a red gourd, opened its mouth, and fire spewed out. The fire spread and burned the whole world.
In the fire that filled the sky, the golden-armored gods looked at each other and smiled, as if they had completed a great masterpiece! They put away the memory crystals in their hands, broke a golden jade plate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The raging fire is still burning.
Heat waves came from the entrance of the cave. It became increasingly difficult to breathe in the Shengxiu Cave.
Despair envelopes everyone.
Priest Kule discussed with the other three priests:
'Rather than waiting for death here, it's better to give it a try!'
In the end, the four priests flew out of the Holy Cultivation Cave with six teenagers who were about to fall into coma.
The Golden Armored God has long since disappeared, and only a few ruins of the majestic holy city remain. The fire continues to burn in the distance, and the temperature is very hot.
The three injured priests voluntarily stayed behind.
Priest Kule opened the cyan light shield and carried the six teenagers flying towards the distance. He passed through the ruins of the holy city, crossed the sea of fire, and came to a cave on a snow-capped mountain.
Putting the teenagers at the entrance of the cave, Priest Kule's hair, eyebrows, and clothes had long been reduced to ashes, and his back was still burning with flames. Looking at the frightened six teenagers, Priest Kule smiled softly:
"Go straight along the cave, and there is a vertical cave at the end. The cave is a thousand feet high. Climb out of the thousand-foot cave and you will see the big world outside.
There are climbing claws inside the offering table in the sacrificial hall.
There is a strong wind in the cave. Do not use spiritual power. You must rely on your own physical strength to climb out.
You are the last hope of the Lotus World.
If you can go out, forget everything here and live a good life."
The fire engulfed Kule.
Priest Kule used his last bit of strength to jump off the cliff.
