Year Yiyou, the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Wilderness Temple.
When the Heavenly Demon Ancestor built the temple, he was very particular. He not only made use of the terrain of the oasis and the Black Rock Mountain, but also used very advanced astronomical knowledge.
Blackstone Mountain is like a black dragon crisscrossing from north to south, cut in the middle.
On both sides of the gap, there are exactly two higher peaks, like the two door gods of the temple on the east side.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning rises from the eastern horizon, it passes through the narrow mountain pass dug between the two peaks and shines on the top of the Xuanhuo Palace due west.
On the roof of the Xuanhuo Palace, there is a fiery red, flame-shaped sculpture inlaid with a red crystal mirror.
When the sun shines on the flame sculpture, the colorful light immediately spreads out from the top of the Xuanhuo Palace, like a small sun, which is amazing.
When they saw the familiar glow on the Xuanhuo Palace, everyone knew that it was daybreak.
Ye Tianci did not come from the south, but from the east.
He stepped on the first ray of sunshine in the morning and came through the clouds.
Tuoba Yu transferred 200,000 disciples back to Shura Valley to show off his military power to Ye Xiaochuan.
It's not polite to come and go, so Ye Tianci naturally didn't want to be outdone.
Last night, the invitation he handed over clearly stated that he would arrive at the temple at sunrise today.
Under normal circumstances, people worship the mountain at three quarters of the hour. When the sun rises, it is just dawn. Where will the owner get up?
The reason why Ye Tianci recorded the time so carefully is because he wanted to tell everyone that he was like the sun that had just risen, shining on the world.
Sure enough, when the light above the Xuanhuo Palace lit up, Ye Tianci appeared.
The drums sounded.
A huge drum hangs above the huge altar.
On the drum surface, Qilisi's bare feet lightly stomped on it, and the low drum sound immediately spread in all directions.
Even if you just stomp your feet lightly, the sound will travel quite far, and it can be clearly heard at least for hundreds of miles.
Many big guys standing on the altar had dark faces.
Especially Tuoba Yu and others, their expressions were extremely gloomy.
The matters concerning the sacrifices in the temple have always been the responsibility of the two envoys of the temple, and the heads of the various sects have no right to interfere.
This sacrificial event was arranged by Tianwen and Zuo Qiu.
They had a good relationship with Ye Xiaochuan and wanted to build momentum for Ye Xiaochuan, so they asked Qilisi, the demon god of Northern Xinjiang, to serve as the welcoming doorman.
Ye Xiaochuan was welcomed with the Kui Niu drum. This scene was simply terrifying.
No wonder Tuoba Yu was unhappy.
But he couldn't say anything, the rules were the rules, and the rules set by the ancestors could not be changed. He was only the acting leader, not the orthodox leader, and could not interfere with the affairs of the temple.
The way Ye Tianci appeared was very impressive. He spread his demon wings, black wings, like the black archangel in Western mythology descending into the world.
His body was surrounded by a faint black air, and even though it was hazy, he could still see his appearance clearly.
It's not hazy, but I can't clearly see his expression and extension.
Between being hazy and not hazy, it adds a bit of majesty and mystery to Ye Tianci.
Next to Ye Tianci, flying alongside him was the nine-headed eagle Guo Bier.
Behind him are Wanyan Wutear, Xuewuhen, Wen He, Wu Xueshuang, Qi Changshu, Guo Zifeng, Xia Baizhan and others.
Tianyu Patriarch, Long Tianshan and a group of Ghost Xuan Sect executives were all at the back and were not qualified to be at the front.
Of course, with Wan Yan Wu Lei's qualifications, it is impossible to be on an equal footing with Xue Wuhen, Wu Xueshuang and others.
The reason why she was able to reach such a high position is because she is one of the leaders of the seven organizations.
As Ye Xiaochuan and others flew closer from the east, Qilisi's stamping speed gradually became faster.
The drumming sound of the drum sounded rapidly on this ancient land, as if it was trying to wake up the demon god who had been sleeping deep underground for thousands of years.
When Ye Tianci flew over the Black Rock Mountain and reached the top of the square, the drumming stopped suddenly.
Ye Tianci retracted his wings and landed on the tall altar at his feet together with Guo Bier.
It seems that the time is very short, but in fact it is not.
Nearly half a stick of incense has passed since Ye Xiaochuan stepped into the first ray of sunshine and appeared in everyone's sight.
And this journey is not far, only a few miles.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaochuan flew half a stick of incense away from the distance.
Now that it was getting light, Ye Xiaochuan looked around at the dark crowd in the square, and finally his eyes fell on the big guys on the altar.
The depth of the Demonic Cult is unimaginable.
The number of believers gathered in the square at this moment exceeds 300,000.
What is this concept?
Nowadays, the Cangyun Sect, the largest sect in the righteous way, even if the cultivation family of the Cangyun Sect is included, the number of disciples above the air-control realm is estimated to be only one-tenth of the number of the Demonic Sect.
If you look at the number of ordinary disciples, you still can't intuitively understand the power of the Demonic Cult.
Judging from the number of high-ranking demon sects on the huge altar, it is even more intuitive.
Those who can stand on the altar are almost all seniors and celebrities in the demon sect who are above the realm of heaven and human beings. There are not many young people to see. There are only young sect leaders such as Yu Linglong, Feng Tianqiong, and the Five Elements Banner.
There is a young flag bearer, and the rest are middle-aged people who look to be over fifty years old, or old men and women.
The number of this group of people is at least a thousand! Ye Xiaochuan has worked hard for so many years, and the red-clothed disciples he has trained so far are only more than a thousand in the realm of Lingji, and not a single one in the realm of heaven and human.
The Demon Sect casually gathered more than a thousand peerless masters who were in the realm of gods and humans.
Among these masters, at least one-fifth of them are in the realm of immortality! Although Gui Xuanzong has recently recruited hundreds of masters in the realm of heaven and humans, compared with the entire Demon Sect, they are still far behind.
Even if the casual cultivators in Devil Lake have joined Guixuanzong, the gap is still very big.
If there are more than 10,000 people, it will be boundless.
With more than 300,000 believers and more than 1,000 peerless experts gathered together, the scene was simply terrifying.
Especially when I think that these people belong to the same sect, it is even more frightening.
The effect of Tuoba Yu showing off his force was achieved.
Seeing the powerful force of the Demon Sect, Ye Tianci's heart felt cold.
His ambition to capture the Five Poison Valley within half a month and to unify the Holy Cult within three months was suddenly doused with a bucket of water, and it was ice water! It gave him a chill.
Not only was Ye Tianci shocked, but the Ye Cha in his body was also shocked.
Compared with eight hundred years ago, the strength of the Holy Religion today is simply unbelievable.
You must know that at that time, the power of the Holy Religion was only half of what it is now, and it took Yecha more than a hundred years to complete the great cause of unification.
Ye Cha couldn't help but wonder, if the Holy Religion had been so powerful eight hundred years ago, could he have unified the Holy Religion?
