Chapter 1226 - Ancestral Goddess

”It's that 'Ancestral God Sculpture' again!”

Tang Huan's eyes turned sharp, the anger in his chest flaring up.

At the top of the mountain stood a statue that was said to be the ancestor of the Tian Clan, it was called the ”Ancestral God Sculpture”. That statue had its own intelligence. Back in the Spirit State war, the reason the Tian Clan did not turn into ashes and perish like the Four Symbols Heaven Sect was all thanks to the sculpture's guidance.

However, to Xing Meng, the existence of the ”Ancestral God Sculpture” was not a good thing.

From Luolong's memories, he knew that the moment Xing Meng appeared in Forging God Great World, the ”Ancestral God Sculpture” had a reaction and accurately determined her position. Everything that had happened to Xing Meng since then were all related to the ”Ancestral God Sculpture”.

The reason why the Tian Clan did everything he could to nurture Xing Meng was very simple —

That was, after Xing Meng's cultivation broke through to Virtual Level, he would extract the Tian Clan's bloodline from her body, so that the ”Ancestral God Sculpture” could absorb it. The reason why the Ancestral God Sculpture had its eyes on Xing Meng was because a part of the heart of the tree in Xing Meng's veins had fused with the ”Cloud Holy Tree” from the little world.

The heart of the holy tree was an extremely mysterious existence.

There was a human heart, and the heart of the holy tree was the heart of the Flying Cloud Holy Tree. Within Holy Heavenly City, the nine Cloud Holy Trees that were to be reared later had yet to reach the point where the heart of the tree could be born. Xing Meng, who had fused with a portion of the Sacred Tree Heart, had actually aroused the coveting of the ”Ancestral God Sculpture”.

As a result, not long after he stepped into the Virtual Level, Xing Meng's Tian Clan bloodline was extracted, and then locked in the Heaven's Punishment Hall, allowing it to fend for itself.

Not only had Xing Meng's cultivation been drained, but the vitality in her body had also nearly died out. The Sky Execution Hall had thought that her soul would quickly disperse, so they had not taken strict care of her, but they had not expected that Xing Meng would rely on a treasure in her possession to escape the Heaven's Punishment Hall in a frail state. In the end, she had met Tang Huan, who had just arrived in Holy Sky City.

From what Tang Huan knew, the person who was treated like this by the Tian Clan was not Xing Meng alone.

His mother, Ji Ru Mang, was originally the Holy Maiden of the Tian Clan, but in the end, she had no choice but to betray her family and escaped from the Heavenly Human Mountain. Her main reason lay with the ”Ancestral God Sculpture”.

Every five hundred years, the Holy Maiden of the Tian Clan would die because of various reasons.

But in truth, those Tian Clan Holy Maiden were not really dead, they were being sent to offer sacrifices to the ”Ancestral God Sculpture”. In the Tian Clan, this was a top secret and only the Lord and a few elders knew about it. Ji Haitian was one of the few who knew about it.

Ji Ru Mang learned of this by chance and wasn't willing to become a victim of the 'soul sacrifice'. This was why she decided to rebel and leave the clan base.

”What a great Tian Clan!”

Tang Huan's face was ice-cold, with a wave of his hand, the ball of soul in his hand was immediately crushed, his two eyes immediately swept in front of him.

The palace he was currently in was extremely vast, with each being about a hundred meters in length and width. On the inside of the palace, there were many circular arched tunnels that connected to various types of prisons.

At this moment, over a hundred figures had already gathered at the entrances dozens of meters away. It was obvious that they were alarmed by the battle just now, yet they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing Tang Huan looking over, everyone retreated into the passage out of reflex, their faces filled with fear.

”Swish!”

Tang Huan's expression darkened, and the ”Hundred Lava Flame Spear” in his hand pierced upwards …
