Pei Tu Gou
Chapter 445 Qin Yu
Looking at the mountain-sized, putrid ‘tumor’ amidst the faint red light on the altar, An Qisheng's expression shifted slightly.
That ‘Chu’ retreated into silence, a wisp of its original consciousness sinking into its massive body, naturally sensing danger.
The Huangtian Ten Fiends were immortal, but ‘Chu’ was not, a fact he knew from his encounter with the Zombie King Zhushang on Xuanxing.
As a great demon, this ‘Chu’ would be no exception.
But this old monster was quite alert, retreating as soon as it sensed something was amiss, a decisiveness that surprised him.
Buzz!
As the red light intensified, An Qisheng once again heard the whispers of gods and demons in his ears.
The murmurs questioned whether he wished to make a sacrifice.
For sixty years in Qingdu City, he had cultivated, sorted out his own system, and deduced the Huangting body gods. Naturally, he had also pondered this five-star cosmic treasure from the Star Lord of the desolate Da Dao Ji world.
Possessing the ability to enter dreams and knowing its various uses, his understanding of this altar was naturally far superior to that of the heretical evil Daoist, whom he had sent to the desolate world with only a skull remaining.
However, sacrifices were rare, and he had never tried it. Now that he had this old toad, he could naturally experiment to his heart's content.
The old demon's size was too enormous; even all the cultivators in the world combined could not compare.
Moreover, it possessed the ability of immortality.
As a sacrifice, it was naturally perfect.
“Sacrifice!”
An Qisheng thought.
The red light before him suddenly rolled up, transforming into a stream of light that vanished into nothingness. Its speed was so great that even An Qisheng, if he had not known in advance, would not have been able to capture its trace.
But he was naturally prepared. The instant the red light appeared, his divine will moved simultaneously, intending to enter the red light.
But at that moment, a warning suddenly rose in his heart, and the Dao Yi Diagram in his mind sea trembled.
“Danger?”
An Qisheng frowned slightly and retracted his divine will.
He was naturally adept at using this treasure, but he did not fully understand how it operated in different spaces, even universes, at its core.
Naturally, he would not take risks lightly.
The Dao Yi Diagram’s warning was naturally due to the effect of his Dao power.
No one knew how many worlds this altar, or rather the Scales, had passed through. There might be perilous or ominous places. If he was not careful, he might fall directly into them.
He himself had mastered dozens or even hundreds of divine powers that could kill with a wisp of divine will.
Other worlds might also have people who had mastered similar divine powers.
Buzz~
As An Qisheng’s thoughts turned, the red light on the altar intensified again.
Within the rolling, cloud-like red light, a crescent moon imprint floated, and as the red light burst and then subsided, it fell onto the altar.
With a wave of his hand, the crescent moon imprint on the altar instantly flew to him.
The crescent moon imprint was silver-white, shaped like a crescent, thick on the back and sharp on the blade.
“Magic artifact?”
In the depths of An Qisheng's eyes, the light of the Dao Yi Diagram flowed like water, reflecting the information of this crescent moon imprint:
[Consumes 9 points of Dao power]
[Crescent Moon Wheel (damaged), Grade: No Stars]
[From the Dragon Eclipse World under the Yuan Yang World, a basic magic treasure of the Taiyue Sect, one of the standard magic treasures for entry-level disciples, combined with the Moon Essence Robe, Crescent Crown, Grade: One Star]
[Ability 1: Body Protection]
[Ability 2: Recording]
Compared to the five-star Transposition Scales, this crescent moon wheel paled in comparison and had nothing worth mentioning.
Its grade was less than one star, and it was damaged.
Its value was so low that it was speechless.
“Transposition, transposition, it really isn't an equal exchange. If you're not familiar with the usage of this altar, you'll probably suffer a great loss…”
An Qisheng shook his head slightly, pinching the crescent moon imprint.
Trading with this Transposition Scales, if you didn't know the窍门 (qiaomen - tricks of the trade), you would definitely suffer a great loss.
This was why he had used this altar less in recent years. It wasn't that he didn't have sacrifices, but because he would lose too much.
Like this time.
Although the old toad had been sealed for thousands of years, and its power had declined, and he had severed its Dharma body, its size was so large that the value of that ‘tumor’ was higher than the White Bone Man Demon body of the Heretical Evil Daoist.
As a result, he only exchanged for such a thing…
Of course, sometimes, useless things can be useful.
Whoosh~
As An Qisheng held the crescent moon wheel, a wisp of light rose, and strange, completely different characters from the Huangtian World, Jiufu World, and Xuanxing jumped out.
“Oh? These characters…”
Seeing these characters, An Qisheng’s eyes lit up slightly, quite surprised.
It was rare for him to have such a change in expression because his heart was usually calm, and ordinary things could no longer move him.
And what surprised him about these characters was that they were not characters in the ordinary sense.
Because these characters did not need to be learned. Each character contained many explanations, even images. Even if it wasn't him, but someone else who had never been exposed to these characters.
They would definitely be able to understand!
This meant that in the Dragon Eclipse World, or the Yuan Yang World, no one would be illiterate!
Moreover, their inheritance, communication, and transmission of information would not have the slightest error. The meaning of the characters was even clearer than face-to-face conversation.
The significance of this was terrifying.
“The one who created these characters is truly remarkable…”
An Qisheng praised in his heart.
There were not many characters on this light screen, but there was a lot of information. Of course, what attracted An Qisheng the most was the characters themselves.
Besides that, it was what was recorded on it.
These characters recorded the process of a young man named ‘Qin Yu’ seeking knowledge, or learning a craft.
[Dragon Eclipse Calendar 145543, June 1st, this is a day worth remembering. Today, I finally joined the Taiyue Sect, and they gave out a Crescent Moon Wheel, Moon Essence Robe, and Crescent Crown…]
[That Senior Sister Bai…]
[Nine levels of Qi training to build a spiritual root, nine levels of spiritual root to build a foundation gate, nine levels of foundation building to the Golden Core Heaven, nine levels of Golden Core to the Nascent Soul Heaven, three levels of Nascent Soul to the Transformation God Dao…]
[I'm only at the first level of Qi training now. How many years will it take before I can cultivate to the Golden Core Heaven? Alas, Senior Sister Bai is so beautiful…]
[Side sect, outer sect, inner sect, true inheritance, direct inheritance, alas, when will I be able to become a direct disciple? Senior Sister Bai, so beautiful…]
[Moon Wheel, Sun Wheel, Treasure Wheel, Life Wheel, Death Wheel… so many wheels, when will I be able to cultivate into the Heavens Wheel? Alas, Senior Sister Bai is so smart…]
[Senior Sister Bai is so馋人 (chan ren - tempting, desirable)…]
There was a lot of information on this crescent moon wheel. Not only was there a ‘Moon Wheel’ technique, but from it, An Qisheng could also feel the prosperity of the Dragon Eclipse World.
Like the Huangtian World's calendar, powerful one-star treasures that every entry-level person had, a systematic and complete cultivation method, and even more detailed cultivation realms than the Huangtian World.
Cultivation originally had no realms. Only when more people cultivated did realms appear.
To be able to divide each realm into ten levels, if there was no other significance, then it meant that there were many cultivators in the Dragon Eclipse World, more than imagined.
Of course, the most common thing in these characters was the young man named ‘Qin Yu’s’ infatuation.
However, based on the crisis he felt earlier, perhaps this young man was also in mortal danger.
After all, the operation of this Transposition Scales must be the connection of two altars in different worlds. For him to obtain this crescent moon wheel, someone in the Dragon Eclipse World must have sacrificed this crescent moon wheel and many other things.
“Hopefully that ‘tumor’ can help you…”
Across a world, it was truly beyond his reach. Otherwise, An Qisheng would have wanted to see that young man. At this time, he could only wish him good luck.
Putting away the crescent moon wheel, An Qisheng raised his hand and summoned the Wangquan Sword, preparing to continue the sacrifice.
This time, it would naturally not be a small matter.
Raising his eyes, he saw that in the midst of the miasma of death, the ‘tumor’ he had chopped off earlier had regrown, no different from before.
It should be known that this old monster had been sealed for nearly ten thousand years, and since it was a seal, it would naturally weaken it continuously.
Even so, the degree of recovery was so strong.
It was truly ‘immortal’.
Of course, that ‘tumor’, compared to the old monster’s massive body, was at most a ‘pimple’ growing on an ordinary person’s face.
Very insignificant.
Chi chi chi~~~
The sword energy stirred in the long sky, and the miasma of death between the mountains was swept away by the sword light.
Only the huge roars, like meteors falling to the ground, were heard. Under the sword light, one ‘mountain peak’ after another was cut off at the root, and the putrid, venomous blood was enveloped by countless blood lights, like tentacles, that emerged from the altar.
Then, it was pulled into the altar.
And during this process, the ‘Chu’ prostrate on the ground remained silent, as if it had truly fallen into a state of death.
“See how long you can endure…”
An Qisheng flicked his finger casually, and the Wangquan Sword in the far distance emitted a dragon-like hum. The sword light soared, stirring up layers of sonic boom clouds and rushing into the mountains.
Wherever it passed, the miasma of death retreated, the poisonous gas dissipated, mountain peaks collapsed, and the earth shook.
Sacrifice was naturally not without limitations. Otherwise, the Heretical Evil Real Person would not have had any opponents back then.
After all, if there were no limitations, he could casually throw an altar and sacrifice the entire Central Continent, or even the entire Huangtian.
This altar had no power to trap enemies, kill enemies, or defend. It must have no resistance at all before it could be dragged into the altar to carry out the sacrifice.
That ‘Chu’ was the one who keenly discovered this point, so it hid.
Hoo hoo hoo~~~
The Wangquan Sword roared back and forth, traversing east and west. In an instant, it had crossed thousands of miles, cutting down countless mountain peaks.
Boom!
Until the last mountain peak collapsed, when the Wangquan Sword fled back, this space of death had already been filled with blood light.
The countless blood lights that spread out from the altar densely filled the entire sky, pulling countless mountain peaks back against the current and submerging into the altar.
Buzz~
With a buzzing sound, the blood light, which was ten thousand times stronger than before, burst out in an instant, as if illuminating the entire world and obscuring the starry sky.
Hoo~
An Qisheng stood before the altar with his hands behind his back and slowly spoke his request:
“I want……”
