Blood splashed all over the altar.
The compass of destiny was rotating slowly behind Elder Destiny, sending streams of mysterious power towards the altar. After offering the blood of millions of animals, Elder Destiny built a connection with the flower of great Dao with the compass of destiny, then let out a resonant growl from the core of the flower.
A thunderous roar came from underground, hearing which, Ji Hao only felt that his whole body was frozen suddenly. Even his primordial spirit went numb for a second by this sudden and strong growl.
The petals of the flower of great Dao unfolded one after another, and from each petal, a tall and sturdy silhouette stood up.
In Pan Xi world, when cultivators reached the level of holy spirits, they would also attain nearly immortal life. Through a long and sever cultivation, they might achieve a certain grade in the understanding of the Dao of nature that they belonged to. After that, they would be able to sense the flower of great Dao, merge their bodies with the flower of great Dao and fall into a deep sleep in the inner space of the flower of great Dao to continue their cultivation.
In the flower of great Dao, these holy spirits could achieve a higher level of cultivation and merge a slight trace of the power of great Dao with their own powers, and thus, they would become ancestor souls.
The great Dao of nature of Pan Xi world was divided into eight-hundred and ten parts and twelve-thousand branches. Each part of great Dao of nature could contain a hundred ancestor souls to cultivate in it together while every branch could allow ten ancestor souls to cultivate in it together. Ever since the beginning of time, the number of ancestor souls of Pan Xi world never changed — two hundred and one thousand. During the past countless years in Pan Xi world, the actual number of ancestor souls might not reach that number, but would never, ever exceed that number.
With the power gained through the blood-offering ceremony, Elder Destiny gave a great shout in the core of the flower of great Dao and woke up all ancestor souls who were in a deep sleep in the flower. Numerous sturdy silhouettes stood up one after another. Among them, some had been in a deep sleep for countless years and were even older than Elder Destiny himself.
Strong streams of power swooshed over with an immemorial sense. Many ancestor souls stood in a daze after they woke up with their eyes sparkling brightly. Many of these ancestor souls, who were sunk in a deep sleep for countless years, had already forgotten themselves. Instead, their souls had entirely merged with the great Dao of nature, and now, they had to retrieve their existences from the vast, boundless power of great Dao of nature.
After over ten hours, an especially enormous fiery giant slowly turned around. Meanwhile, his body was quickly shrinking. A quarter of an hour later, this enormous fiery giant had already become as short as ordinary local people.
With a pair of blazing eyes, this fiery giant looked at Elder Destiny, saluted to him and said, ”Am I facing Elder Destiny?”
Elder Destiny bowed back towards the fiery giant and responded in a deep voice, ”I am Destiny, Elder Huo Ya. I haven’t seen you for centuries.”
Huo Ya blinked his eyes, pondered for a while then laughed abruptly out and said, ”I remember, the last time I saw you was on your wedding day…How many years have passed? Hm, why did you wake us up? Do you know that except for life-and-death situations, old people like us would rather be assimilated by the great Dao of nature than be woken up.”
Thousands of ancestor souls who slept deeply in the flower of great Dao for countless years and had already cultivated themselves into immovable beings, lowered their heads simultaneously, looking at Elder Destiny angrily. If he were without a reasonable explanation, these ancestor souls would join hands and teach Elder Destiny a good lesson, even though Elder Destiny was the most worshiped one among all ancestor souls and also possessed the highest status, and even was the most powerful one among them.
Elder Destiny didn’t say a word. Instead, a white stream of light was released from the compass of destiny and showed what happened just now to these ancestor souls in detail.
