Xu Chunniang followed her memory and went to several other stone pillars.
With her spiritual energy, she easily nailed the exposed stone pillars back into the soil.
As the second and third stone pillars disappeared, more spiritual energy floated out from the stone pillars.
She didn't stop and continued walking towards other stone pillars.
The vision of spiritual energy recovery was gradually perceived by other monks.
This spiritual energy was very thin, but it shocked their spirits.
"It's spiritual energy coming from above the destroyed altar."
"Go over and have a look!"
They climbed up the mountain following the spiritual energy and found a pit at the narrow entrance.
"Hey, there seems to be a stone tablet inside, and the spiritual energy is flowing out from it."
"I have seen a lot of this kind of stone tablet before. It is more than three feet high. The characters on it are very worn. I don't know what is written on it. How did this one get buried in the soil?"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
These foundation-building monks were not stupid, and there were several people who immediately connected the abnormality of the stone tablet with the revival of spiritual energy.
"The runes on this stone tablet look a bit like some kind of spell, but they are so damaged that nothing can be seen."
"Could it be that if you drive this stone tablet into the valley, it can induce spiritual energy?"
“You’ll know once you try it!”
The spiritual energy they absorbed was not too much, it was enough to open the storage ring.
After taking out the elixir and taking it, everyone dispersed and headed towards the place where they had encountered the stone tablet.
I thought that after I recovered my cultivation, I would just nail the stone tablet into the soil and do it casually.
But in fact, the stone tablet was made of unknown material. It seemed to be welded into the soil. They used a lot of means and strength to force it down.
The effect is obvious. As the stone tablet sinks deeper, more spiritual energy escapes from it.
They finally determined that it was the strange movement of the stone tablet that triggered the spiritual energy.
As the last stone tablet penetrated deep into the soil, the whole valley suddenly shook slightly, and then became completely quiet.
The discomfort I felt since I stepped into the valley completely subsided.
Just after all the stone tablets were returned to their original positions, a strong sense of rejection fell on all the foreign monks, pushing them away from this world.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes again and found that she was already in the main hall of Tiandao Palace.
She was still standing on the previous stone pillar, but the complex formation above her head, which was as complex as the stars, had quietly dimmed at some point.
She looked around calmly and found that most of the monks in the stone pillars were missing.
There were originally three hundred and sixty-one monks, but now there are only sixty or seventy left, among whom there are still twenty or thirty people who are unconscious and look like they are unconscious.
Chu Youtian was still on her left, looking at Xu Chunniang with great admiration.
"Fellow Daoist Yan is really secretive. Fortunately, when I was fighting with Mrs. Gong, I won over Daoist Yan. Haha."
Seeing Xu Chunniang glance at him warningly, as if to indicate that he should not say more, Chu Youtian immediately understood and showed an "I understand" expression.
That fire must be Taoist friend Yan's trump card, so naturally the fewer people know about it, the better.
He looked around and said softly "Huh".
"According to the rules, you should directly enter the new trial level at this time. Why are you back in the hall? Could it be that there was an accident?"
Several monks who knew a lot about Tiandao Palace also discovered this situation and frowned.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with this trial in Tiandao Palace? It was obviously not like this before."
"They sent us to the Land of Absolute Spirits when they came up. They almost told us everything there. Did they deliberately trick us?"
"Isn't it the work of the guardian?"
"Where's the guardian? Come out quickly! You must give an explanation!"
Xu Chunniang's heart moved when she heard this. Before she could ask any questions, she saw a figure appearing in front of the hall.
The figure was not tall and was wrapped in a ball of white light, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
After that figure appeared, a faint pressure arose, and the hall suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then several questioning voices appeared again.
"Did you do it to throw us into that unforgettable place?"
"Damn it, just because you are a protector, are you ignoring the rules?"
The guardian coughed slightly, his voice sounded particularly young, and he revealed a bit of guilt.
"I'm sorry, something happened, and you were dragged into the forbidden area of the Witch Clan by the Witch Ancestor."
The Witch Ancestor used the secret method of blood to break the first layer of seal, hid it from him, secretly tampered with the formation, and teleported all the monks to the forbidden area of the Witch Clan.
After he found out, it was already too late.
It was originally thought that after these monks were dragged into the forbidden area of the witch clan, they would never survive. They would be imprisoned for generations and become the nourishment of the witch clan.
After all, there is no spiritual energy in the forbidden area of the Witch Clan, and the monks are just ordinary people with stronger skills.
Unexpectedly, they not only survived, but also re-strengthened the seal.
Perhaps it is because the witch ancestor has been suppressed for countless years and is too weak.
"What? It's actually a forbidden area for the Witch Clan! Could it be that the Witch God those people call is the Witch Ancestor?"
"It is said that the Tiandao Palace exists to suppress certain things, and the legend turns out to be true."
"We actually fought against the Witch Ancestor? And we survived?"
The monks couldn't help but feel in a trance. Wuzu is the ancestor of the Wu clan, a powerful person in ancient times, and a figure who once competed with the way of heaven in legend.
They didn't expect such a big shot to be so close to them.
Xu Chunniang was also a little surprised, and then she felt lucky.
The witch ancestor wanted to break free from the seal, and he didn't even pay attention to monks like them who had no spiritual energy.
This allowed her to take advantage of the loophole and use sky fire to burn the stone pillars to strengthen the seal.
What Xu Chunniang didn't know was that the witch ancestor was heavily sealed, and it was difficult to separate a shred of his will, so there was no way he could take action.
The power obtained from those sacrifices can only be used to break the seal.
It's a pity that Wu Zu's plan came to nothing in the end.
"Originally, there were a total of nine trials, from easy to difficult, to select the successors of my Tiandao Palace. But now that an accident has occurred, this trial will end here. I will follow your performance in the forbidden land of the Witch Clan.
,distribute rewards.”
The guardian's voice sounded, finally restoring calm to the hall.
The monks stopped making trouble, and they naturally had no problem with it since they had something to gain.
The guardian raised his hand and saw the twenty or thirty unconscious people waking up from the stone pillars, and the next second they were teleported out of the Tiandao Palace.
Obviously, these monks who were easily knocked down by the Wu tribe were not qualified to receive the rewards mentioned by the guardians.
After doing all this, the guardian took out a bright mirror and was slightly startled when he saw the numbers on the top row recording the contribution points.
However, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he distributed rewards from bottom to top. Every time a reward was distributed, one person disappeared into the hall.
