When I looked again, the scene before my eyes had completely changed.

The old formation altar, which was silent a second ago, now exudes endless power.

Nine pillars connect heaven and earth, mobilizing the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

On the pillar that leads to heaven, nine figures were sitting cross-legged, as if they had merged into one with the altar.

From under the altar, ghostly roars could be heard continuously, as if thousands of sharp claws were scratching the bottom of the altar. Black air filled the air, and the nearby flowers and plants were immediately sucked dry of their vitality when they were slightly touched by the strange black air. They withered in the blink of an eye and turned into dust.

"Jiuxuan! The formation is about to be broken! We can't hold on any longer!"

"We have to hold on even if we can't! If we don't completely close the cave passage, the human race will perish!"

"Not good... The Nightmare Clan troops outside are attacking. They must be here to destroy the formation..."

Rong Shu subconsciously turned his head to look——

All over the mountains and plains, there was a dark aura pressing down strongly, and among them, there were countless nightmare tribesmen rushing madly towards the direction of the altar.

"It's the Nightmare Clan! All the Nightmare Clan have run out?!" Rong Shu's heart trembled.

Without time to think about it, Rong Shu just tried to mobilize the spiritual energy, but suddenly found that the Hongmeng spiritual energy in his body was quiet, without any abnormality.

"Hmm? Hongmeng's spiritual energy didn't react... Could this not be the Nightmare Clan?"

After regaining his senses, Rong Shu remembered that he was clearly in Jiuxuan Valley to investigate the situation in the sealed area, so how come he was suddenly brought to such a strange place?

What was even more strange was that the nine monks sitting cross-legged on the nine pillars had an extremely powerful aura, which Rong Shu had rarely seen in his life.

Rong Shu had never seen this in any other cultivator.

Combination period?

No! more than!

Could it be a rare old monster in the Mahayana stage? Or... Rong Shu suddenly had a guess in his mind.

"Does Heaven want to destroy our human race? No! I, Jiuxuan, have practiced for thousands of years and have transcended the mortal world to become an immortal. I will never accept my fate today!"

"Jiuxuan! If you want to be a hero alone, you should ask me first if I agree or not! I'll leave first!" After saying that, the man slapped his own crown with his palm, and his immortal body shattered. Bits of golden light flowed out and were injected into the first pillar that reached the sky.

The first pillar to the sky suddenly shone with golden light!

It was visible to the naked eye that the formation seal, which was about to fall apart, became more stable.

Seeing that this method worked, the remaining few people did not hesitate at all and also sacrificed their immortal bodies, and injected their souls into the remaining Tongtian Pillar!

The second one!

The third one!

The fourth root...

All eight pillars lit up!

The light was dazzling and dispelled the darkness for a while.

In the end, only the original person was left.

He took one last, nostalgic look at this earthly world, and without hesitation, sacrificed himself to light up the ninth pillar!

His name is Jiuxuan.

He rose from obscurity, fought and struggled for thousands of years, and his former opponents fell on the way he came, becoming a stepping stone on his way to heaven.

He joined forces with eight close friends to found a sect named Jiuxuan. He recruited many disciples, and the sect became very popular. He became the Immortal Lord Jiuxuan, revered by millions.

Rong Shu looked at the scenes in front of him in shock, muttering:

"I remember that Senior Brother once said that the ancient formations in the sealed land had long been lost in Zhongzhou. For tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to directly repair the damaged formations. They can only use new formations to fill in the defects of the ancient formations."

"The ancient formation that can seal the passages between realms contains the magical power of time and space. It will distort time and space to a certain extent... allowing us to glimpse the afterimages of the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago."

The scene before my eyes is neither real nor false.

Rather, it is the tragic history of how the founder of the Jiuxuan Sect, Jiuxuan Immortal Lord, sacrificed himself to seal the Nightmare Clan ten thousand years ago.

In ancient times, the human race flourished.

There are many geniuses as numerous as stars, and evildoers are everywhere.

Transcend the mortal world and ascend to heaven, and see the vast universe.

It was an era that amazed the entire history of time.

But it was also an extremely tragic and dark era filled with misery.

Even though he knew that all this was false, Rong Shu still bowed respectfully in the direction of the nine pillars.

But at this moment, the Pillar of Heaven, which had been shining brightly, suddenly dimmed, and cracks appeared on the edge of the altar.

Deep underground, there is restlessness.

The Nightmare army outside was also approaching. One after another, the Nightmare slaves and Nightmare servants of the Nightmare Clan were used as cannon fodder, using their bodies to smash against the seal of the altar.

Click~

A huge crack appeared in the middle of the altar, and the evil spirit that gushed out once again occupied the world.

Rong Shu looked shocked. "How could it be? Didn't they say that Jiuxuan Immortal Lord sacrificed himself to seal the underground passage here?"

Could it be that... Immortal Lord Jiuxuan failed back then?

As soon as the thought came to mind, colorful lights suddenly appeared in the sky.

Wherever the light shone, the nightmare spirit dissipated, and the nightmare army was also burned. The hard bodies were swept away as easily as dust.

In the distance, there seemed to be a human monk crying with joy:

“…It’s a divine weapon!”

"The divine weapon has descended! The human race is saved..."

In the final afterimage, Rong Shu only had time to see that the altar seal that was about to fall apart was repaired by this inexplicable "power".

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Song Youyi, who was waiting outside, saw Rong Shu coming out and hurriedly went up to him: "How is it?"

Rong Shu looked at the four great ancestors who were also waiting and said, "The seal has been damaged a little, but it's not a big problem."

It is normal for the formation passed down from ancient times to be damaged.

Song Youyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Young friend Rong, let's go."

"Ah."

Before leaving, Song Youyi bowed to the four great ancestors and took out the guiding bead again.

Only when the two of them re-entered the maze did the four great ancestors disappear again.

After walking for a while, Rong Shu asked Song Youyi beside him softly, "The four great ancestors have all reached the Void Refining Stage, right? Why has Jiuxuan Valley always claimed that the highest level of cultivation is you, the Sect Master?"

Rong Shu felt a little strange.

Although four cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are nothing compared to the entire Zhongzhou.

But if outsiders knew that Jiuxuan Valley now had four people in the Nascent Soul stage, then Jiuxuan Valley would definitely feel more confident and be worthy of the title of a third-tier force.

Because the first criterion for dividing Zhongzhou into three lines of power is that there must be a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in charge.

Hearing this, Song Youyi gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm sorry to make you, Rong Xiaoyou, laugh at me."

"From the day the four great ancestors asked to guard the seal, their only duty was to guard the seal day and night. Even if the Nine Profound Valley was destroyed one day and removed from Zhongzhou, the four ancestors would not leave the seal even a step."

"Therefore, the strongest person that Jiuxuan Valley claims to be can only be me."

No wonder……

A doubt in Rong Shu's mind was immediately resolved.

Guarding the sealed place is such a serious matter. If the strongest person in Jiuxuan Valley is just a sect leader in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it would be unacceptable.

Even if the dynasty and the academy remember the past achievements of Jiuxuan Valley and take good care of it, they will not be soft-hearted in the face of such a major event that concerns the survival of Zhongzhou.

It turned out that there were four great ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage in Jiuxuan Valley who were struggling to hold on.

When they were about to leave the maze, Rong Shu thought for two seconds and said, "Can everyone who enters the sealed area see the afterimages of the ancient times?"

Song Youyi nodded: "Yes, but each person only has one chance. If you step into the sealed place again, you won't be able to see it."

Song Youyi was not surprised that Rong Shu asked this.

After all, I had the same doubts at the beginning.

Rong Shu asked: "What did the ancient afterimages that other people saw look like? Was it the same or different?"

"The ancient remnants left here in Jiuxuan Valley are no different from the scene where the Immortal Lord Jiuxuan sacrificed himself to seal the Nightmare Clan. I think what Young Friend Rong saw was the same." Song Youyi's eyes were full of sighs.

On the day when Song Youyi took over as the leader of Jiuxuan Valley, it was also the only time he was allowed to enter the sealed land, and he learned that Jiuxuan Valley was hiding such a huge secret.

The ancient shadow that Song Youyi saw that day was like a brand, deeply engraved in his mind and could not be forgotten.

"...Is that so?" Rong Shu's heart skipped a beat.

But what she saw was not only the Nine Profound Immortal Lord sacrificing himself to the formation...

When the last seal was almost broken, the sky brightened and she heard someone exclaim "the advent of the divine weapon" clearly.

From the sky, colorful divine light descended.

It is precisely because of the advent of the divine artifact and the sacrifice of the divine artifact that the human race was able to successfully complete the seal.

But from what Song Youyi said, it seemed that he was completely unaware of the appearance of the artifact.

Rong Shu wanted to ask something else, but then he changed his mind and realized that they were outside after all, so he thought it would be better to wait until he returned to Zhanming Mountain and ask Leng Mingjing directly.
