Except for the first stone pillar, the two never tried to move other stone pillars.
Xu Chunniang looked around carefully. This stone pillar looked no different from the previous ones.
Chu Youtian only glanced at it and then looked away, muttering softly.
"What are these stone pillars used for? They can't be pulled out, and they can't be moved. Could they be suppressing something?"
He just said it casually, but something flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind like lightning.
She thought of the discomfort she had felt since entering this valley, as well as the improved spiritual awareness and speed of the natives, and an incredible suspicion arose in her heart.
They tried to dig out the stone pillars, which caused violent earthquakes.
Are these stone pillars suppressing something below the valley, or are they suppressing the entire valley?
Xu Chunniang shook her head, suppressed this shocking thought, and continued to move forward, following the faintly visible voice.
The two of them were in the middle of the mountain. After walking around for a long time, they found a small cave entrance behind a stone pillar, which was just above the altar.
Xu Chunniang looked down from the entrance of the cave and took in a panoramic view of the entire scene around the altar.
At this time, the prayer has come to an end and the sacrifice is about to officially begin.
Chu Youtian was shocked when he saw the many "sacrifice" on the altar.
"This group of natives were so honest in the village, but they turned out to be very crazy in private. No matter what, we must find a way to destroy the sacrifice. Otherwise, if the witch god is really summoned, we may not be able to compete."
As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened, and some monks took action.
As if they had agreed upon it, they launched surprise attacks from all directions.
However, the leading village chiefs sneered, "Now that the sacrifice has begun, kill all the outsiders!"
The villagers behind them moved. They raised their weapons and stabbed at the strangers.
The villagers' skills were several times more agile and stronger than during normal hunting.
Fortunately, these monks who were able to touch the ancestral land were not vegetarians. They used various methods to compete with the natives.
However, after the sacrifice began, with the arrival of an ancient will, the situation began to turn one-sided.
Under the influence of this ancient will, the monk's originally weakened strength was greatly reduced again.
As one goes and the other goes, the strength of the natives has been improved.
"Damn it, if this wasn't a place of extraordinary spirits, how could I have reached this point with my perfect foundation-building strength..."
"If I had known that this level required joint efforts, I would have killed fewer people in the past few days."
"The cheating Tiandao Palace teleported us here. Isn't it just to let us die?"
The monks were cursing and using all their methods, but their goal was to head towards the altar.
They saw clearly that, rather than killing a few natives, it was more important to destroy the sacrifice and prevent the ancient will from enjoying the sacrifice.
But the number of sacrifices was too great, only a small part were killed and knocked away, and more were still being sacrificed, turning into strands of power that were dissolved into the ancient will.
That ancient will became solidified at a slow speed.
Chu Youtian looked anxious, "What should I do? Do I want to kill these children?"
He gripped the spear tightly, but never made up his mind to throw it.
Xu Chunniang frowned and said nothing, looking back at the stone pillar that was buzzing. Ever since the sacrifice began, the stone pillar had been ready to move.
Chu Youtian followed her gaze to the stone pillar, and his expression changed slightly.
"Why do these stone pillars look like they are about to burst out of the ground?"
Xu Chunniang had an indescribable feeling. If all these stone pillars were forced out, wouldn't the thing they suppressed have to escape?
And the thing suppressed by the stone pillar is most likely the shaman god mentioned by the villagers.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her face was calm.
She took a step forward, and blazing fire rose from her body, falling towards the tall altar like a meteor.
That indifferent ancient will showed its emotions of shock and anger for the first time. It used the secret method without hesitation and conveyed its wishes to every fanatical descendant.
The natives who fought fiercely with the monks sensed the call of the Witch God and burned their own blood and souls without hesitation.
Their bodies shriveled up quickly, and when they died, they still had contented smiles on their faces.
Children's shrill cries came from the altar, the originally long sacrificial ceremony was shortened infinitely, and their lives and souls were forcibly extracted.
Correspondingly, above the altar, the body of the ancient will became more solidified.
All this happened so fast, a few firelights didn't even have time to fall on the altar.
Xu Chunniang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she could only watch helplessly as the sky fire continued to fall, engulfing the altar.
She has no spiritual power and cannot control the sky fire.
The other monks woke up from a dream and used various means to kill the ancient will.
However, that ancient will suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and what followed was a shock to the entire valley.
Xu Chunniang looked back, and sure enough, the stone pillar had been shaken out by two or three inches.
She pressed her hand on the stone monument without hesitation, and a flame spread from her hand and continued to fall along the stone pillar.
The stone pillar gave off a faint black light, and its upward momentum was paused.
More fire is needed...
Little Walnut felt her thoughts and breathed out a large ball of fire again, burning the stone pillars until they were boiling hot.
The vibrations in the valley became more violent, revealing a hysterical madness.
Half of Xu Chunniang's body was buried in the stone, but her hand always firmly grasped the stone pillar without moving an inch.
Finally, there was a strong black light in the stone pillar, and it suddenly dropped a foot.
The vibration of the valley followed the fall of the stone pillars, and there was silence for a moment, followed by an increasingly crazy earthquake.
But at this moment, a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy passed out from the stone pillar and rushed into Xu Chunniang's body through her hands.
Since entering the Land of Unparalleled Spirits, her Dantian and spiritual veins have become silent and dry, and she cannot even absorb the spiritual stones given by Chu Youtian.
But when this pure spiritual energy fell into her body, it was like turning on some kind of switch.
This spiritual energy nourished her dry spiritual veins like rain after a long drought, and finally merged into her Dantian.
In the stone pillars, spiritual energy is still floating out far and wide, but it is far from as pure as it was at the beginning.
"It's spiritual energy!"
Chu Youtian, who was buried under the stone, let out a cry of surprise and began to absorb spiritual energy without hesitation.
By the time he rolled out from under the stone, the stone pillar had completely submerged into the ground, leaving only a small pit from which spiritual energy was constantly overflowing.
And the fellow Taoist Yan who smashed the stone pillar in with his own strength has long disappeared.
The tremors in the valley started without knowing when, but they have quietly subsided.
