Chapter 416 Sacrificial Ritual (1/2)

Chen Beidou tilted his head to look at Chen Jinchan and said, ”Listen, this rain is a 'sacrificial ritual'.”

The affairs of a nation was always about worshiping and war.

Those were the words that popped out in Chen Jinchan's mind. Now that Chen Beidou viewed this rain as a sacrificial ritual, the next step would be the clashing of the armies. Other nations would worship their ancestors and the deities by praying, but over here, Chen Beidou was the deity, also the ancestor of the Chen Village.

Plus, there were not many cultivated spiritual beings on Mount Zhong that could be used as a scarification.

The person who questioned Chen Beidou did not receive any answer as Chen Beidou felt that there was no need to explain to them. After the stunning transformation, Chen Jinchan's sensories became sharper and he was able to sense human and non-human spiritual beings who were making their way to the Mountain God Temple. They were struggling with their movements as every droplet of the rain weakened their powers.

Chen Jinchan noticed a ray of light turned into a puddle of blood and then disappeared along the rain and wind.

He could not help but felt empathetic towards them.

These were all cultivated living creatures and were turned into offerings out of the blue. They had no explanations and did not even have the chance to fight back. The Mountain God Master used a very cruel example to teach Chen Jinchan about the nature's law of the survival of the fittest. Being weak was the biggest mistake anyone could make. If the person at the lower-hand was as strong as Shen Lian or the Mountain God Master, they would not have died or at least, could escape from the situation.

Some of the cultivated living creatures were enraged and dashed towards the Mountain God Temple without any order. As their cultivation experiences were deeper than Chen Jinchan and they had stronger essential Qi and mana, they were able to withstand for a longer period under the rain.

One person managed to dash across the rain and entered the mountains. Although it was a bumpy journey, he still made it in and he literally rolled his way to Chen Beidou and said, ”Mountain God Master, please spare my life. I can give you everything, including my soul.”

Chen Beidou was not unmoved. The person turned to Chen Jinchan and said, ”Brother, please beg for mercy on behalf of me.”

Chen Jinchan opened his mouth, turned to Chen Beidou and was about to say something.

The man on the ground raised his arm and it transformed into a black bear's limbs with a big bear paw that swept across like a fan.

Chen Jinchan noticed the action but he could not react in time. However, the demon bear awkwardly paused its movement and started to radiate in white light. Many subtle sword gleam started to explode out of its body and the demon bear turned into a rain of blood, with some blood splattered on Chen Jinchan's face.

He looked lost as he pondered why the demon bear wanted to attack him. Could it be that it wanted to take him as hostage?

But it no longer mattered anymore. Chen Beidou stood under the rain without any expression as a shapeless breath of the heaven and earth gathered around his body. It started flowing vigorously like the phenomenon of a long river.

Chen Jinchan could not tell what benefits have the Mountain God Master gained from this. Although the Mountain God Temple was located at semi-high altitude, but at this very moment, it felt like the Mountain God Master was standing on the highest peak ever.

He turned his head and realized that the Mountain God Temple has vanished.

If there was a god, there would be a temple. Without a place temple to gather the believers, deities were no different from trees that had no roots, it would not be able to have the energy to nourish. Some of the knowledge on the Path of Shen popped up in Chen Jinchan's mind but it was nothing close to what he was experiencing.

The beautiful voice of the noble witch saying ”Your path to Dao would not take place on the ground, it would still be the same as when it was in the sky” started to ring in his ears.
