After walking through a long corridor and going around half a circle, Han Li and others entered the back hall directly without passing through the main hall of the ancestral temple.
In a hidden secret room in the palace, there is a white stone staircase leading diagonally to the depths of the underground.
At the entrance to the stairs, there were several secret guards guarding there vigilantly.
Xu Jiao waved his hand, and the secret guards immediately bowed and retreated to both sides.
The group of people entered a somewhat dark staircase.
This passage is a little dark, and there are gusts of cold blowing out from below from time to time. At regular intervals on both sides, there is a fist-sized moonstone inlaid.
Let the spiritual light in the passage dim and brighten, and the shadows are thick, like a ghost.
Fortunately, the stone steps were not long. After a while, everyone walked out and appeared in a well-designed underground hall.
Han Li glanced around slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The entire hall is made of a kind of light black jade, covering an area of three to four hundred feet. The surrounding walls and top are engraved with complex and mysterious white runes.
These runes flashed with white light, making the entire hall look like daylight.
But the most eye-catching thing in the hall is an unusually exquisite pool-like platform in the center.
The high platform is in the shape of a hexagonal prism and is surrounded by a huge magic circle.
In the high platform, a circular pool was filled with a strange bright red liquid, but there was no smell of blood at all. Instead, bursts of fragrant fragrance emanated from the pool.
In this huge array, there are more than a dozen Xu family monks meditating with their eyes closed, forming a circle around the prismatic high platform.
Inside were Xu Yan and Xu Huo, whom Han Li had met.
"Greetings to Senior Han, Senior, thank you for helping the Xu family." When the two Xu family's Void Refining monks saw Han Li appearing in the hall accompanied by Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao, they didn't understand Han Li's purpose.
He immediately stood up with great joy and saluted Han Li.
"Don't say any words of gratitude yet. Whether I can really help in a small way is a matter of discussion." Han Li shook his head and said.
Xu Jiao, the head of the Xu family, did not take it seriously at all. Instead, he waved to the distance and asked other Xu family monks to meet Han Li.
These monks were both male and female, some were no more than thirty or forty years old, and some were old men with snow-white beards and hair.
But everyone has the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, and they are obviously the true core members of the Xu family.
These monks had already peeked at Han Li with awe-inspiring eyes, obviously knowing that he was a fusion monk. Now after listening to the instructions of their family leader, they stood up one by one and paid homage to Han Li in unison.
Han Li waved his hand and looked towards the blood pool, with a look of great interest on his face.
"This is a thing created according to the records in the Blood Soul Dafa. The spiritual liquid in the pool is made from the essence and blood of many of our family members, plus many rare elixirs and spiritual objects, mixed and melted. It is not only necessary to awaken the blood soul
One of the things, and it can use the blood energy in the pool to slow down the dissipation of the blood soul." Xu Yuan whispered from the side.
"That's it. But the most important thing in the awakening ceremony is the thing under the spiritual liquid. Without this thing, no matter how much spiritual liquid is in the pool and how profound the magic circle is, it will be difficult to perform the secret technique of blood soul!"
Han Li's pupils flashed dark blue and he said calmly.
"Senior has a keen eye and has already figured it out. The lower part of the spiritual fluid is our Xu family's treasure, the 'Blood Crystal Coffin'. Without this thing, it is impossible to condense the blood body necessary for the bleeding soul, so that the blood soul can be placed on it."
"Yes." Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he immediately explained as usual.
"Blood crystal coffin! Hehe, I do understand a little bit about what this awakening ceremony is about." Han Li glanced at the huge magic circle below several times, and seemed to remember something. After pondering for a while,
Just started laughing.
"Senior, what you said is true." Xu Huo and Xu Yan were stunned, obviously not fully believing Han Li's words.
Xu Jiaguang used the whole family's efforts to prepare this awakening ceremony, and spent most of the day before it was finally ready.
Even though the other party was a fusion cultivator, they could understand the mystery within just a few glances, so naturally they found it hard to believe it.
Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao were also surprised when they heard this.
"Fellow Taoists, you don't need to find it strange. It's just that your ritual is somewhat similar to a kind of alien ritual that Han has seen before, and it has quite the same purpose." Han Li said with a smile on his face.
But he couldn't help but flash through his mind a certain foreign language book that he had read when he was in Tianyun.
Although this alien race is not well-known, the recorded secrets can split the soul into many parts. As long as one of them can enter the body that has been carefully prepared in advance, it can immediately create a unique incarnation of itself.
This kind of magic looks so strange, and the training formula is somewhat close to that of human medicine.
Han Li felt as if he had found a treasure and immediately imprinted a copy.
But it was later discovered that the key to this skill is that one must have some kind of secret talent from the alien race. Otherwise, after practicing, it will lead to the backlash of the demon.
As a result, he could only give up with a sigh of regret.
Of course, the alien race is originally somewhat different from the human race, and the details of the two secret techniques are also very different, but they can be used as a reference when it comes to dividing souls and reattaching new bodies to new bodies.
Han Li, who was originally only 30% to 40% sure, asked himself that if he thought about the similarities between the two, he would be 70% to 80% confident.
Of course, Han Li would not say these things on the spot now.
He just walked slowly around the blood pool and the entire magic circle under the eyes of a group of monks with different expressions, without taking his eyes away from the magic circle and the blood pool in the center for a moment.
"Okay, I will take action at the right time. You should follow the original method and hold the ceremony on time."
After completing several circles, Han Li said a few words lightly, turned around, walked to a corner of the hall, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Xu Jiao frowned slightly after hearing this. After waiting for a while, he saw Han Lizhen sitting motionless and in trance. Finally he couldn't help it any longer, and his lips moved as he wanted something.
But at this moment, Xu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Although they only chatted for a few words, the head of the Xu family felt a chill in his heart, and after a slight hesitation, he gave up the idea of speaking.
Instead, after waiting for a while, he entered the magic circle like other Xu family monks and sat cross-legged around the high platform to adjust his breathing.
Time passed little by little, and the sky above the mountains on the ground began to gradually darken.
As night fell, the monks of the Xu family, who had closed their eyes and worked hard, gradually became a little commotion.
Many monks couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the high platform in the array, with strange expressions on their faces.
After waiting for a while, Xu Yuan, Xu Jiao and the others also opened their eyes and stared at the past.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the top of the huge hall suddenly became brighter, and white runes began to flow high up. In a short time, several simple small magic circles were formed.
The next moment, the buzzing sound started loudly!
After these small magic circles trembled, several milky-white light pillars spurted out from them, hitting the prismatic high platform below and disappearing into the blood pool in a flash.
Han Li's expression changed and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the originally quiet blood pool suddenly began to boil.
A strange vortex appeared out of thin air in the center of the blood pool and started to spin rapidly. In the blood-red water waves, silver runes of different sizes flickered and appeared, mysteriously and abnormally.
"The time has come, start operating the magic circle!" Xu Yuan, who had been waiting quietly, shouted loudly, making the whole hall buzz.
After agreeing in unison, the monks of the Xu family who were sitting cross-legged on each of the cars of the magic circle were filled with energy, and they made their hands perform the prayers and murmured words incessantly.
There were muffled sounds of "Puff" one after another, and the spiritual light activated in the magic circle flashed, and eighteen blood-red light pillars were sprayed out from everywhere.
Each one was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, glistening with blood, and the tip sank directly into the top of the giant hall, with no end in sight.
Xu Yuan, Xu Huo, and Xu Yan, as Void Refining monks, naturally occupied the three most important formation points in the magic circle. When others thought about the magic spell and activated the magic circle, they turned their palms over.
, a bright red flag several inches long appeared in the palm of his hand.
As soon as it was blown, the three small flags immediately stood up and started spinning.
The three Xu family cultivators were obviously very familiar with it. When they saw this scene, they immediately opened their mouths again, biting the tip of their tongues and spitting out a ball of blood.
As soon as the three balls of essence and blood roared out, there was an immediate bang and turned into blood mist, completely covering Xiaoban.
There was a scream from the small flags, and then a ray of light rolled out from each of them, swallowing up all the blood mist.
In an instant, the three small flags swelled in size amid the bloody light.
After a few flashes, it turned into three huge blood flags, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and filled with evil energy.
Bursts of blood-colored light surged out from the blood flags, pouring into the entire magic circle, blending with other blood lights emerging from the magic circle, covering the entire blood pool.
The smell of blood and the smell of weird fragrance rolled out at the same time, and were wonderfully intertwined into one, turning into another weird smell that made people feel intoxicated.
But at this moment, as if attracted by this strange aura, a strange rumbling sound came out, and then a huge ball of light that looked like blood-colored flames slowly emerged from the depths of the vortex of the blood pool.
In the bloody flames, a crystal coffin flashing with Xue Hong's spiritual light was floating quietly.
As soon as they saw the coffin appearing, both the three Void Refining cultivators and the rest of the Xu family showed solemn expressions on their faces.
Various auras of various colors circulated on their bodies, and some even turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly. It was obvious that the mana in their bodies had been pushed to the extreme.
