I. Majestic Palace
Lin Ye cautiously passed through an ancient forest, finally arriving at a magnificent palace in the heart of Tianyuan Sacred Mountain. The palace stood tall and imposing, constructed entirely from an unknown jade-like material, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura. The stone walls were adorned with intricate runes, faintly glowing, as if guarding some unknown secret.
Around the palace, powerful prohibitive barriers layered over one another, with dense formations and runes seemingly warning anyone who tried to approach. Even Lin Ye felt a tightness in his chest as he sensed these prohibitions. He knew that their power was immense, and any careless movement would provoke a catastrophic backlash.
Despite all this, nothing could stop his resolve to move forward. The true face of the Tianyuan Sect was hidden deep within this palace, and Lin Ye had to uncover it.
II. Ritual Energy Waves
When Lin Ye sneaked into a secret corner inside the palace, he suddenly sensed a powerful surge of energy coming from deeper within. The sensation was eerily familiar, similar to the ritualistic energy he had felt in the Black Stone Hall, but the scale and intensity of this wave far surpassed any he had previously encountered.
He held his breath and focused, trying to sense the source. The energy emanated from somewhere at the center of the palace, suggesting that a powerful ritual was underway, invoking memories of the dark ceremonies he had seen before. However, this time, the energy was even more overwhelming. The scale was larger, and it seemed to harbor a more terrifying force.
III. Bloodline Altar
After much effort, Lin Ye finally broke through the layers of prohibitions and entered the palace’s core region. What he saw before him was enough to shock him—at the center of the palace stood a massive blood-colored altar, glowing ominously. In the middle of the altar was a blood-red crystal emitting a strange light, its presence drawing in everything around it, exuding an irresistible allure.
Around the altar, there were individuals trapped at its periphery. These people appeared to be under a cruel form of imprisonment, their bodies weak and their eyes empty. Lin Ye’s demonic sense told him that these weren’t ordinary cultivators but individuals with a special bloodline. Their essence and souls were being drawn out continuously, funneled into the blood-red crystal at the center of the altar.
This sight sent a chill down Lin Ye’s spine. He finally understood that the true purpose of the Tianyuan Sect wasn’t just cultivation or resource exploitation; it was a horrifying experiment involving bloodlines. Through these rituals and the extraction of bloodline power, the blood-red crystal seemed to be absorbing the strength of these special bloodlines, and its purpose appeared to be tied to some sinister, evil ceremony.
[Chapter End]
What is the true purpose of the bloodline ritual being conducted in the core of Tianyuan Sacred Mountain? What connection do the imprisoned individuals have with the previous miners? What terrifying power lies within the blood-red crystal at the altar’s center? How will these mysteries influence Lin Ye’s next actions? How will he face all of this and uncover the true dark nature behind it?
