Chapter 1862: Myriad Spirit Beast

The family heads and elders of other families were accustomed to this scene. After hearing the words of the Long family ancestor, they each waved their hands at the disciples behind them, and one person from each crowd walked out holding a jade bottle the size of a palm, flying towards the Myriad Spirit Terrace.

At the same time, golden light flashed on the Long family ancestor's body, and with a flash, he entered the light shield covering the Myriad Spirit Terrace, then at a low altitude, pinched a spell with one hand and struck a golden light towards the green stone ground below.

The golden light disappeared in a flash and sank into the green stone ground, disappearing without a trace.

Immediately the next moment, a low rumbling sound came from the Myriad Spirit Terrace, and a simple green stone basin appeared near the white magic array.

This basin was long and flat, a zhang long, with strange black patterns engraved on its surface, looking extremely ancient.

At this time, those family disciples walked to the stone basin one by one, removed the caps of the jade bottles in their hands, and turned the bottle mouths to pour them down.

Liquids of various colors rolled out from the bottles, some with a foul smell, some with a fragrant scent, and some were colorless and tasteless, as if they were clear water.

After more than a dozen different liquids were poured into the basin, they each condensed into a ball, without the slightest intention of merging.

The Long family ancestor ignored all this, just looked at the dazzling light becoming more and more intense in the magic array, and looked up at the astonishing momentum of the purple-gold net in the sky, remaining motionless in the air.

Outside the Myriad Spirit Terrace, all the Body Integration cultivators stood up, looking at the direction of the magic array, their expressions also becoming solemn.

"Boom!" A loud noise!

The runes of various colors surging from the giant magic array suddenly condensed together, transforming into a giant light ball with a diameter of several zhang, rotating slowly above the magic array.

But after rotating for only a few circles, the light ball burst open with a muffled sound, revealing an eight-headed monster inside.

Lion body, dragon head, its form was blurry, as if it were just a phantom, and its aura was only that of an ordinary early-stage Void Refinement existence. But as its eight different heads swayed left and right, sixteen sinister gazes scanned the crowd under the Myriad Spirit Terrace, making everyone who was looked at shiver, as if a strange cold had swept through their bodies.

Fortunately, the next moment, the Long family ancestor in the air arched his hands and said slowly:

"Welcome the Myriad Spirit Lord to descend again, please enjoy the True Blood sacrifices offered by the fifty-one True Spirit Families of our human race."

This monster called Myriad Spirit raised one of its heads, looked at the Long family ancestor in the air, and without saying a word, moved its body and flew out of the magic array, arriving above the stone basin.

Eight heads opened their giant mouths, and the liquid in the basin turned into eight liquid pillars that flew up and sank into the beast's mouth.

In a short while, the sacrifices in the basin were sucked dry by the beast, and then a strange light flashed on the beast's body, and its originally blurry body actually became clear as if it were real.

Then the monster looked at the cultivators outside the stone platform again, and eight heads roared simultaneously.

An astonishing aura radiated from the beast, climbing wildly from the early stage of Void Refinement to the middle stage, and then to the late stage...

In an instant, the beast's aura reached the peak of the late stage of Body Integration. No, it seemed to be half a step higher than this level, as if half a foot had already stepped into the Mahayana realm.

Han Li's originally calm face couldn't help but focus his gaze after feeling the violent aura emitted from the Myriad Spirit Terrace.

Fortunately, after reaching this level, it seemed to be the limit of what this beast could improve. The giant aura finally stabilized.

But the next move of this eight-headed monster made many family cultivators almost scream in shock.

This beast actually raised all eight heads towards the high sky simultaneously, and with a piercing sound, each head sprayed out a green electric arc as thick as a water vat, flashing and hitting the purple-gold electric net in the high sky.

Even some Body Integration stage existences couldn't help but change their expressions upon seeing this scene.

The Long family ancestor, although close to the eight-headed monster, had his facial muscles twitch, but was still able to maintain an expressionless face.

Several earth-shattering loud noises!

Purple and green electric arcs intertwined in the air, turning into clusters of electric light the size of cart wheels, bursting open in the air.

But after a short while, the electric light receded, and the purple-gold giant net swayed slightly, returning to tranquility, without any damage.

The eight-headed monster, seeing this scene, had the cold light in its eyes recede, and eight giant mouths slowly closed.

But one of the green heads twisted its neck, suddenly staring at the Long family ancestor nearby, and actually made an extremely old voice:

"Hmph, you humans are truly cautious enough. I have descended to this place countless times, yet this Imperial Thunder Ten Thousand Seal Great Array has never made a mistake in so many tens of thousands of years. However, you had better pray that it will always be like this, otherwise, as long as there is one mistake, let me find a loophole in this seal, hehe..."

The monster's green head not only spoke in human language, but finally let out a sinister cold laugh.

"For this point, please rest assured, Myriad Spirit Lord. If one day, our True Spirit Family disciples were truly unable to arrange this sealing magic array carefully, and were negligent, then it would be their own fault to have their True Blood sucked away and enjoyed by you. However, according to the agreement between our True Spirit Family ancestors and you, Lord, now that the offerings have been presented, it is time for you to cast spells to make Hidden Spirit Tokens for us juniors." The Long family ancestor bowed slightly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, without much fear.

This was no wonder. Although the monster's main body was a True Spirit level existence from another world, the one that could descend across the boundary was only a manifestation of its consciousness. Plus, there was the sealing magic array carefully arranged by the True Spirit Family ancestors, so even if the monster's manifestation absorbed the sacrifices and its cultivation increased greatly, its actual divine abilities were still suppressed by more than half, so he, a late-stage Body Integration cultivator, naturally didn't need to be too afraid.

"Hmph, since I have received your benefits, I will naturally handle this small matter for you." The monster snorted coldly, and eight heads swayed, actually chanting spells simultaneously.

Amidst the chanting, runes of eight colors sprayed out from the mouths of the heads and intertwined in the low altitude.

After a short while, runes of various colors were densely packed, almost covering the entire sky above the Myriad Spirit Terrace, with astonishing momentum.

The Long family ancestor, although surrounded by runes of various colors, had a calm expression, and a layer of golden light surrounded his whole body, making these runes unable to get close to him at all within a few feet.

Suddenly, the monster roared again!

The entire void above suddenly had a formless fluctuation of distortion.

The dense runes condensed together, actually transforming into countless five-colored tokens that fell straight from the sky, landing on the entire Myriad Spirit Terrace.

"Alright, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine Hidden Spirit Tokens have been made. The next time you call me to descend, it must be three thousand years later." The eight-headed monster hummed a few times, appearing a bit tired.

Then, the beast shook its head and tail, and plunged back into the original magic array.

The giant magic array flashed with light, and spiritual light erupted, submerging the giant beast's form into it in the blink of an eye.

A buzzing sound rang out again, and the magic array spun, and the eight-headed monster, just like when it appeared, had its body shatter inch by inch with a muffled sound, turning into countless runes and collapsing.

The next moment, the magic array itself also receded and disappeared completely from the Myriad Spirit Terrace, as if it had never appeared.

"Come, collect all the Hidden Spirit Tokens. After each family re-determines their ranking in a while, we will decide their ownership!" The Long family ancestor narrowed his eyes and stared at the green stone ground where the magic array had disappeared, and after a long while, ordered coldly.

Hearing this, several golden-armored guards walked up from nowhere.

Each of them held a silver tray in their hands, grabbed at the ground in the void, picked up all the tokens, piled them on the trays, and then respectfully placed them on an offering table under the stone platform.

"The Myriad Spirit Lord has already left, let's start the sacrificial ceremony for the True Spirit ancestors of our families." The Long family ancestor scanned the crowd outside the stone platform and said with a solemn voice.

Hearing this, the crowd of large and small families outside suddenly stirred, and then people carried various sacrificial spiritual tools and spiritual fruits and incense, starting to arrange them on the platform.

Then, led by the family heads and elders of each family, all the True Spirit Family disciples began to walk onto the Myriad Spirit Terrace one by one, kneeling before the True Spirit ancestors they worshipped, each with different prayers.

Some even more ancient True Spirit Families even had some sacrificial rituals that had long been lost in the outside world, which made Han Li, who was below, watch with great interest.

But after the sacrificial ceremony, which took a full half-day, was over, it was the real highlight of the True Spirit Ceremony: the determination of the rankings of each True Spirit Family and the redistribution of resources and interests.

When the Long family ancestor flew to the stone platform again, he tucked his hands into his sleeves and said lightly:

"According to the ancient teachings, at the ceremony, every family has the opportunity to challenge other upper-ranking families, as well as the requirement to accept challenges from lower-ranking families. Both have one chance. But challengers cannot challenge families more than five places above their own. If several families challenge the same family, the one with the higher ranking has the qualification to challenge. Of course, according to the custom, the rankings among our five great families are completely void at this time and need to be re-ranked through a wheel battle before the challenges of other families can begin. Fairy Lin, Fellow Daoist Lin, you should also come up, let's draw lots to decide the opponents for the first round first."

"Hehe, what's there to draw lots for? Anyway, if I encounter your Long family, Lin will admit defeat voluntarily. However, I have recently cultivated one or two small divine abilities, and if I meet Fairy Ye, I have to ask for advice." Among the five great True Spirit Families, a lazy man's voice came from the family composed entirely of male cultivators.

The person speaking was a man with disheveled hair, wearing a dark green long robe and a strange silver ring on his head, his appearance as delicate as a woman's.
