388 Altar
Led by the group, Yuchi eventually arrived at a certain place in the primordial sea.
Now, as the Heavenly Dao surged toward a certain direction in the primordial sea, a scene that gradually turned from illusion to reality finally appeared.
Everyone nodded at each other and entered the sea heart one after the other.
This was a heavenly altar that extended into the sky.
It seemed to be the place where a certain race offered sacrifices to the gods or the heavens in ancient times.
Yuchi was standing on top of the altar, looking around.
One could clearly see that the diameter of the altar itself was about one kilometer. There were many grooves more than 20 centimeters deep on the surface of the altar.
These grooves created rather complicated patterns on the surface of the altar. At the center of the altar, there was a badly damaged statue, which was about 10 meters tall and about 2 meters wide. Its head had already disappeared.
Through the many octopus-like limbs of the statue, one could roughly determine what the other party’s race looked like.
Other than the rather unique altar under everyone’s feet, when one looked at the sky above them, many identical altars could be seen floating in the sky.
Yuchi even felt as if he had been shrunk many times and thrown into a mushroom field. There was a rather thin pillar supporting all of the altars.
In total, there were more than 300 altars emitting an ancient aura.
There were no stairs between each altar. It seemed that one would have to jump from altar to altar. Of course, this was not a problem to any of the cultivators present, even Yue Hanjiang.
“Senior Yuchi, the Heavenly King Seal is on the topmost altar. If you want to go to that altar, you have to touch the statue at the center of each altar and leave a trace of your aura on each statue.”
“After touching all of the altars, the 333 altars will join together. The 334th altar will be the altar where the Heavenly King seal is located. It will appear in the sky. Once each altar is touched, it will condense an inner demon.”
“This kind of inner demon comes from the heart and is under the command of the Heavenly King seal, so it’s quite difficult to fight.”
“As you move from altar to altar, the strength of the inner demon will become stronger and stronger.”
“In the latter half of the battle, especially from the 298th altar onward, the average strength of the inner demon will have reached the Dao heart realm. However, it hasn’t grasped any Dao heart skills, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
“And once you reach the 320th altar…”
“According to the rumors from the seniors, they will become quite powerful at that time. If you really can’t defeat them, then retreating might be for the best.”
“The Heavenly King sea is different from the other Hearts of the Ocean. It doesn’t seem to have any obsession with killing. This might be related to the fact that it belongs to the ‘surrender’ category.”
In Yuchi’s ears, the explanations from many cultivators had already made their presence known. These cultivators who had yet to reach the Dao heart realm had only come here to train. In essence, they did not dare to face the Heavenly King seal at all.
Yuchi now had a rough understanding of the situation.
Based on the current situation, getting to the Heavenly King seal was much more difficult than before. After all, the strongest enemy Yuchi had encountered in the sea heart of the Ancient God Sea was only a half-step Dao heart realm cultivator.
However, they appeared midway through the test here.
In that case, the strength of the Heavenly King seal was likely much greater than the faceless fish, which was likely due to the number of cultivators that had perished here and strengthened it.
After expressing his gratitude to the cultivators, Yuchi glanced at Hanjiang. “You can follow me up later.”
It was impossible for Yuchi to not know that the other two Dao heart realm cultivators had designs on Hanjiang, so he had to take her with him.
Of course, Yue Hanjiang nodded obediently. Whatever Yuchi said, she would do. She definitely did not need to think too much about such matters.
As for the other two Dao heart realm cultivators, they were quite unhappy.
They did indeed want to attack Yue Hanjiang, but they were not prepared to do so in the sea heart, and were planning to make a move after a year.
One of them had already walked over to Yuchi. He seemed to want to lay his cards on the table. He said calmly to Yuchi, “Fellow Daoist Yuchi, we can understand some of your difficulties. We also know that you must be very worried about the two of us now, but you don’t have to be. After all, if the two of us wanted to kill you, we would have done so in the outside world just now. Therefore, under such circumstances, we can promise you that within the next year, we won’t do anything to this jinx beside you.”
The other person also looked at the silent Yuchi.
He added casually, “Yes, it’s just as this friend beside me said. If we wanted to kill you, you would have been a dead man long ago. Therefore, you can just leave your disciple here and let her slowly cultivate. Otherwise, how can you try to absorb this sea heart with a burden by your side?”
Their plan was actually very simple.
They wanted to use the Heavenly King seal to reduce Yuchi’s strength before killing him.
The weaker he was, the less damage they would suffer when trying to kill him later.
Hence, if Yuchi had a burden with him, he might run away at the first sign of trouble with the Heavenly King seal and escape unscathed. That would become very troublesome for them.
Yuchi had no intention of communicating with these two people at all.
He was already holding Yue Hanjiang’s hand and touching the statue in front of him with her.
As the two of them touched the statue, the space in front of them distorted. Clearly, the two of them had officially entered the inner layer of the sea heart, leaving behind two Dao heart realm cultivators looking at each other.
Their eyes were already filled with displeasure and viciousness.
“Damn.”
“One year later, you will die!”
