Chapter 10, no, I feel I cannot endure this grievance
Thirdly, one must not leave the worship hall
Logically, this should be the place for exchanging stored treasures, yet there is not a single person here. Could it be that there are fewer people? Zhao Wugou was filled with suspicion regarding this matter
However, no one explained to Zhao Wugou why this was the case. After the atmosphere fell silent for several moments, the master of the Sword Hall, Yin Changkong, took the lead in departing on his sword without uttering a word. Subsequently, the remaining eleven individuals also left one after another.
The emaciated old man handed Zhao Wugou an unlit candle. Upon receiving the candle, what was supposed to be the wick was instead a maliciously filled eyeball, which was marred with blood vessels.
The virtual soul has been fragmented, and an unknown energy has taken away the fragments of the virtual soul
Zhao Wugou walked to the underground of the Soul Incense, opened the roll of gray paper, glanced at its contents, and his face turned ashen, silently questioning the system in his heart
After passing through the outer courtyard and entering the inner courtyard, it was unclear what kind of method had been employed, as the entire space had inexplicably expanded thousands of times. Rather than calling it an inner courtyard, it would be more accurate to describe it as a plaza. Countless lanterns floated in the dimly lit inner courtyard, densely emitting a soft glow.
The old woman suddenly realized, took out a roll of ancient gray paper, and handed it to Zhao Wugou
Seeing that the old man ignored him, Zhao Wugou casually pointed to a palace.
Moreover, you are a legitimate disciple; as for those demons imprisoned here, the disciples and elders who have committed offenses are all confined to the lowest level, directly subjected to the onslaught of malevolent energy, which is far more tragic than our situation
"Proceed to the Soul Incense, first drop blood as proof, and then initiate the Soul Oath"
The Offering Hall is the dark temple of the Unity Sect, belonging to the nonexistent Thirteenth Hall. Its significance is the same as its name, which is to offer. After the circular spiral staircase entrance behind him disappeared, the emaciated old man spoke again
Go pick up that chain
System, is there a way to resolve this with the Library Law? If this matter is completed, it would be a matter of survival, albeit only half a life.
Upon exiting the grand hall, one finds a multitude of palaces; however, they are devoid of vitality, steeped in desolation. Zhao Wugou even observed that the majority of the palace doors were covered in dust, indicating that they had not been tended to for a long time
"Let’s go, don’t just stand there foolishly, follow me to the offering hall." A voice, old and lifeless, broke the silence of Zhao Wugou's questioning.
After Zhao Wugou picked it up, the chains seemed to come alive, emitting a blood-red glow, shedding their rust, and began to entwine around Zhao Wugou, ultimately vanishing into her body
Holding the three items given by the elder, I curled my lips and took a brief stroll around
The unknown celestial energy is temporarily stored in the virtual consciousness sea and can be obliterated at any time. Current status: Implementing all-weather monitoring
At this moment, only Zhao Wugou remained in the vast hall.
Upon the completion of the ceremony, an oath was taken, and three wisps of gray smoke emerged from the incense. One wisp ascended into the void, merging with the cosmos; another wisp was absorbed into the gray paper stained with the blood of "Zhao Wugou"; the final wisp entered the body of "Zhao Wugou" and was instantly captured by the system
"Which sect and lineage does this disciple belong to? How could they have fallen to such a fate?" A voice, as old and lifeless as the grave, emerged from the mouth of the old woman
The virtual host binding curse sub-body has been eliminated
The two remained silent during the journey ahead, and soon, under the guidance of the emaciated old man, they arrived at a ancestral hall. Beside the hall stood a stone tablet inscribed with the words: "Soul Ancestral Hall"
After making the soul oath, lighting the soul lamp, and putting on the soul chain, the exit beside the statue opened automatically. The emaciated old man waved his hand, signaling Zhao Wugou to follow him
Yes
A system prompt emerged in her mind, and Zhao Wugou felt a sense of relief in her heart
Having obtained the system's guarantee and the book, he immediately bit his thumb, triggering the virtual host mode to automatically start, simulating a drop of blood. After the gray paper absorbed the blood of "Zhao Wugou," it slipped from his hand and floated under the soul incense
Next, one must take the soul oath, light the soul lamp, and finally wear the soul chain, which signifies entry into the hall
Senior, are you sure
Zhao Wugou could not be certain; the residence chosen for him by the emaciated old man was not a dilapidated thatched cottage, but rather a cluster of palaces, grand and towering in construction, though they were covered in dust due to neglect.
The emaciated old man spat on the soul shrine stele and spoke again
This is the residence of the true disciples; feel free to choose any room.
The exit appeared, then vanished once again, yet the place connected to the exit was a grand hall
Begin the pursuit of the binding curse matrix, granting counter-invasion
Entering the Soul Temple courtyard, an emaciated old woman inside has already prepared a lit incense stick. The mist from the incense connects to the void, intertwining with heaven and earth.
Unknown energy attempts to tear apart the virtual soul, preparing to activate the defense program
This is the treasury of the offering hall, where elixirs, materials, and books can all be exchanged. I will take you to your residence
The annihilation program conflicts with the temporary plan for the second phase
After the sovereign departed, the twelve palace masters exchanged glances, silently communicating about the events that had just transpired, each calculating their own strategies in their minds
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wugou understood that this offering hall was essentially a place for raising meat pigs. No, no, no, it should be referred to as a chive field; meat pigs die once they are slaughtered, while chives can continue to grow.
Capture unknown celestial energy entering the virtual host's body, detect potential threats to the host's safety www.hetushu .com .com, execute annihilation program
Then the eyeball suddenly ignited by itself
The emaciated old man shook his head: "Newly initiated, Five Elements Spiritual Body, the will of the sect master"
First, the offering hall is only permitted to practice the "Yin Sha Record" and is not allowed to practice any other martial arts manuals, including divine abilities, spells, and martial techniques; however, other sideline practices may be pursued.
The emaciated old man paused upon hearing these words, casting a complex glance at Zhao Wugou, and slowly uttered a single word
This function does not exist, the command is invalid
Detection complete, the technical content of this oath is low, the virtual host is operating normally, it can be circumvented, stored, and released
Zhao Wugou stared with his mouth agape at the figure of the old man leaving, his face displaying a look of shock, yet inside he felt no panic at all, and even had a slight urge to laugh
The sect leader turned and left, ignoring the words of the master of the Research Hall. Watching the departing sect leader, the master of the Research Hall let out a quiet sigh, his mind racing: "In order to pave the way for his son, this sect leader is actually suppressing the newcomers so harshly. The sun is setting on his reign; it seems I must start preparing for a backup plan."
The emaciated old man took the lit candle from his hand and placed it inside the lantern, which then flew up unconsciously, scattering in all directions and merging into the dense multitude of lanterns.
Do not entertain any thoughts; just focus on your work. Having taken the soul oath, there is no escape. Even if you find a way to break it, once the soul lamp is lit, your life and death are in the hands of others. Once you are bound by the soul chain, if you leave the offering hall, the soul lock will immediately seal your spiritual energy, restrain your body, and whip your primordial spirit
Watching Zhao Wugou light the soul lamp, the emaciated old man continued to lead Zhao Wugou forward, finally reaching the exit at the far end of the inner courtyard. Beside the exit stood a grotesque stone statue, which held a rusted chain in both hands.
Zhao Wugou finished selecting a residence, took out a purple jade pendant, a scroll, and a porcelain bottle
The alchemy room, talisman room, formation chamber, cultivation room, and even the kitchen garden are all present, complete with cleaning formations to maintain internal cleanliness and tidiness, truly thoughtful. The tone carried a hint of sarcasm. After observing the general layout, I returned to the bedroom, covered myself with the bedding, and went straight to sleep. As for the three items given by the old man? I will discuss them tomorrow.
The Hall of Offerings has four edicts that you must adhere to; otherwise, you are surely aware of the consequences of violating your oath
"The offering hall? It feels a bit off." Zhao Wugou listened to the sect leader's arrangements and felt indifferent, but he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.
The subtle patterns on the gray paper in hand flickered briefly
The emaciated old man performed a spell, and a circular spiral staircase leading to the underground appeared. An old man and a young man walked down, one in front and the other behind.
"Sovereign, is it possible to..." The master of the Research Hall seemed to want to say something, yet hesitated, unable to continue.
After the old man finished speaking, he left without looking back
The priority of the temporary plan for the second phase is relatively high, and the implementation plan will begin to be assessed
Fourth, every month, it is mandatory to channel ninety percent of the spiritual energy converted from the cultivation of "Yin Sha Lu" into the spirit storage bottle, and it must meet the standards. Of course, this is compensated, with an additional contribution of ten thousand points each month.
First, let's take a look at my residence. Such a grand palace, truly impressive, haha. " With a tone of disdain, he pushed open the palace doors
Garbage system, how must it be formalized, temporary solution for the second phase, can a virtual host shield me from the effects of this vow
Detected that the virtual host is under a binding-type curse entity, current status: harmless
The temporary plan for the second phase and the library section has a higher priority, and the implementation plan is now under inspection
The revisions have been completed, and a backdoor has been left behind
This jade pendant represents a true disciple, with a monthly contribution of 1,000 points. It already contains a total of 10,000 contribution points. This book, "Yin Sha Lu," is a required cultivation method for you.
What should I do if everyone has left like this? In that moment, Zhao Wugou became a person filled with confusion.
Zhao Wugou nodded slightly, following the elder, and directly passed through the Huiyuan Hall to reach the core of the Mountain Gate formation
The offering hall? It is not dedicated to us; rather, it is for us to absorb the malevolent energy and transform it into spiritual essence to be offered to those true disciples and the outstanding talents of the sect, do you understand
The virtual soul split body has initiated the counter-intrusion program, please await further news
The emaciated old man spoke up to remind, and Zhao Wugou also took the opportunity to pick it up
Secondly, private duels and scheming are prohibited
The defense program conflicts with the launch of the temporary plan for the second phase
I, Zhao Wugou, hereby make a vow today to never betray the Guiyi Sect for all eternity, to remain loyal to the Guiyi Sect for all eternity, and to prioritize the Guiyi Sect above all else for all eternity. I voluntarily join the Offering Hall and fully comply with the principles of the Offering Hall and the Sect Master. Should I violate this vow, my Dao heart shall shatter, my physical body shall decay, my soul shall scatter, and I shall never attain rebirth for all eternity, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses
"Let us go to the next stage," sighed the emaciated old man
The binding-type curse entity has been detected, and the program is currently being modified
Temporary Plan for Phase Two: The virtual host has simulated the illusion of the existence of binding-type cursed entities
"Then according to your reasoning, our resource benefits are quite good?" Zhao Wugou paused for a moment: "With my qualifications, do I have the right to enter this offering hall?"
The voice came from a thin, elderly man standing in the corner, his entire being filled with a sense of lifelessness, his eyes murky and devoid of light, as if he would turn into a handful of dust at any moment
