Chapter 567: Bai Qi Wang Jian Meng Tian

As time passed, the terracotta warriors in the Blood Sea underwent subtle changes; their originally still poses began to loosen, as if a mysterious power was awakening within them.

These terracotta warriors were once the glory of the Qin Empire in Earth's long history; now, nourished by the Blood Sea, they are slowly recovering in another form.

In the depths of the Blood Sea, strands of thick blood qi surged like spiritual springs, wrapping around the terracotta warriors' bodies, as if performing some terrible sacrificial rite.

The surface of the terracotta warriors sprouted large amounts of blood-red substance; nourished by the Blood Sea, it emitted eerie runes that danced, guiding countless to devour each other and ultimately become the purest nourishment, as if nurturing life.

Earth cultivators stood at the edge of the Blood Sea, staring fixedly at this astonishing sight.

Their hearts were filled with complex emotions—fear of the unknown and anticipation for the future.

The resurrection of these terracotta warriors was not merely a historical reenactment but also the awakening of Ghost Dao power.

As the Ten Thousand Souls Banner continually absorbed the primordial killing force from heaven and earth, the terracotta warriors' bodies gradually became filled with this power.

Their eyes began to emit a faint red light, which grew brighter and brighter, finally shining like two blood-red stars in the Blood Sea.

Splish-splash…

Upon the terracotta warriors' bodies, the surging blood-red light grew ever stronger, and the pulse of life became increasingly violent.

Although the terracotta warriors had only regained some basic sentience at this moment, their existence already shocked all Earth cultivators.

Once these terracotta warriors are fully revived, they will awaken the heroic spirits of the Qin Iron Cavalry, enabling Earth's human race to expand its territory in the Universe Cultivation World and write glory anew.

The cultivators' gazes focused on the three coffins most conspicuous in the Blood Sea, hovering silently above the terracotta warriors' center, as if they were the soul of this Blood Sea.

These three coffins respectively belong to the Qin history's most loyal and brave divine generals—Shi Shen Bai Qi, General Wang Jian, and War God Meng Tian.

They were once legends on the battlefield; now, their coffins exude a strange and powerful aura, as if a mysterious force intertwines within, making this area the most resonant place in the Blood Sea.

As the power in the Blood Sea continually surged, the runes on the coffins lit up one by one, emitting streaks of blood-red light that echoed with the Blood Sea's waves.

These lights were like ancient incantations, awakening the souls slumbering within the coffins.

The cultivators held their breath and stared, their eyes flickering with anticipation and ambition.

If these three divine generals could be resurrected, their power would be enough to shake the entire Tianji Shengyu, turning heaven and earth upside down.

Their eyes blazed like torches, as if they already saw the three divine generals leading tens of thousands of troops, galloping across Huanyu, to create glory anew for Earth.

"If Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian, the three generals, could be resurrected, under boundless momentum, the Ghost Dao Ferocious Troops would be unstoppable," said an excited cultivator, his voice trembling, clearly deeply shaken by the idea.

Another cultivator, upon hearing this, eyes flashing with anticipation for the future, said, "Their heroic names will inspire every warrior, making them braver in battle."

"But can we truly control the power of such divine generals if resurrected?" a cultivator raised concern, his gaze wandering between the coffins and Qin Shi Huang, "Their power is too great; once out of control, the consequences are unimaginable."

"We must prepare, ensuring their power can be used by us," said an elder cultivator in a deep voice, his words revealing resolve and determination, "and with a powerful formation to bind and guide their power, let their memories return, so they understand not to harm Earth cultivators."

"Yes." Another cultivator nodded in agreement, "Let their power and memory merge, henceforth to roam the world."

"Boom—..."

The Blood Sea continued to churn, the power within the coffins continued to brew; although the three divine generals had not yet resurrected, the cultivators' hearts had already ignited the flame of hope.

They will closely monitor the Blood Sea's changes, preparing to welcome the return of those three divine generals.

Meanwhile, at another end of Tianji Shengyu, as time passed, a sense of unease began to spread among the cultivators.

At first, it was only a few isolated incidents of cultivators suddenly exploding during practice; those who had used a precious substance called Myriad Source Mother Essence all suffered disastrous consequences without exception.

"What's going on? I was clearly cultivating according to the ancient texts!" a cultivator struggled on the brink of explosion, face pale, energy fluctuations around his body abnormally violent.

The surrounding cultivators hurried to render aid, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not quell the chaotic energy raging within that cultivator's body.

Finally, in a despairing wail, that cultivator's body was torn apart by the internal storm, turning into a mist of blood.

Initially, people suspected it was due to the cultivator's insufficient cultivation level or erroneous practice method.

But as similar tragedies kept occurring, cultivators began to realize this was not merely a cultivation accident.

A panicked atmosphere began to spread in Tianji Shengyu; cultivators halted their practice one after another, started communicating, trying to find the root of the problem.

"I've heard that lately, much of the Myriad Source Mother Essence circulating on the market is counterfeit," said a well-informed cultivator in a low voice, his eyes full of worry.

"Counterfeit? How could that be? The pure energy of Myriad Source Mother Essence cannot be imitated by any fake!" another cultivator objected, though his tone hinted at uncertainty.

As more and more cultivators began to doubt, influential sects and forces launched investigations.

They collected samples of Myriad Source Mother Essence from the market and compared them with the genuine article treasured in the sect; after a series of tests and verifications, a shocking fact emerged.

Over half of the Myriad Source Mother Essence circulating on the market turned out to be counterfeit!

These counterfeits look nearly identical to genuine Myriad Source Mother Essence in appearance, but their internal energy structure is extremely unstable; once used in cultivation, they trigger catastrophic energy explosions within the cultivator's body.

The cultivators were furious; they could not accept being deceived by such vile means, nor could they accept losing fellow cultivators who had trusted and lost their lives.

"Who did this? Actually doing such heaven‑harming, reason‑defying things in Tianji Shengyu!" a cultivator roared angrily, eyes blazing with fury.

"We must uncover the mastermind behind this and seek justice for those innocent cultivators!" another cultivator clenched his fists, voice full of determination.

The cultivators' anger spread like a wildfire, quickly sweeping through Tianji Shengyu.

They began to unite, swearing to root out that despicable mastermind.

Cooperation between sects and forces reached an unprecedented closeness; they jointly laid a net of heaven and earth, vowing to bring to justice the criminal who threatened Tianji Shengyu's peace.

In every corner of Tianji Shengyu, the anger and disappointment of Universe cultivators turned into sharp, sarcastic remarks.

Those who had once fought tooth and nail for the legendary Myriad Source Mother Essence now found their treasure to be a pile of junk, leaving them feeling both furious and absurd.

"I heard that Old Li of the Graceful Splendor sect, for a lump of Myriad Source Mother Essence, almost fell out with his junior martial brother; the result? He snatched back a fake, and while cultivating it nearly blew him up like fireworks!" a cultivator laughed, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

"No kidding, the Zhao brothers of the Sword Abyss Sect fought over a lump of Myriad Source Mother Essence, only to discover it was fake; their faces looked worse than after eating a fly!" another cultivator picked up the thread, his expression both exaggerated and amusing.

"I actually heard that a sect elder, for a lump of Myriad Source Mother Essence, even injured his own inner‑circle disciple; upon discovering it was fake, the scene was practically the sect's biggest joke!" a young cultivator interjected, his eyes glittering with mischief.

"Moreover, that self‑proclaimed sage Dao Friend Wang, having spent a fortune buying a so‑called 'supreme Myriad Source Mother Essence' from the black market, nearly blew himself up when using it; now he treats Myriad Source Mother Essence like a ghost!" an old cultivator stroked his beard, his expression both solemn and amused.

"Those counterfeiters are truly despicable; we cultivators risk life and limb for Myriad Source Mother Essence, yet they laugh behind our backs—it's infuriating!" said a female cultivator indignantly, her voice tinged with anger.

"Exactly, we cultivators spare no effort for cultivation and breakthrough, yet because of these fakes we nearly lost our lives—how can we swallow this anger!" a burly cultivator slammed the table, his voice booming like thunder.

"Those counterfeiters really do harm; we cultivators ought to focus on practice, yet these fakes leave us unsettled—truly hateful!" an elder cultivator shook his head and sighed, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

As time passed, these jeers gradually spread throughout Tianji Shengyu, becoming after‑dinner chatter among cultivators.

Besides their anger, cultivators also began to treat Myriad Source Mother Essence more cautiously; only by keeping their eyes sharp could they avoid being duped again.

Amid the chaos of Tianji Shengyu, a new suspicion began to spread among the cultivators.

Some cultivators blamed the counterfeit Myriad Source Mother Essence incident on two mysterious and powerful forces—Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening.

"Don't you find it strange? Whenever Tianji Shengyu erupts in chaos, Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening appear, and their intentions are never pure!" a cultivator shouted loudly in the tavern, his words drawing the attention of those around.

"Yeah, this Myriad Source Mother Essence affair is really suspicious. Only forces like Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening have the capability to create such a large-scale illusion, deceiving all of us." another cultivator echoed, his eyes flashing with suspicion and anger.

"From the moment they appeared, they have disrupted the cultivation of Huanyu cultivators; this time they've caused us heavy losses. We must unite and settle the score with them!" a female cultivator waved her fists, her voice filled with determination.

However, the arrival of the Blood Moon Night plunged the entirety of Tianji Shengyu into deeper panic.

Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening displayed unprecedented power during the Blood Moon Night, like inner demons shrouding every cultivator's mind, making no one dare to act rashly.

"Although we are angry, now is not the time to act impulsively. The Blood Moon Night has made Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening even stronger; we cannot act rashly." an old cultivator warned, his words revealing concern for the current situation.

Nevertheless, the superpowers of Huanyu could not stand idly by.

They knew that if they did not take action against Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening, their sphere of influence would face the danger of collapse; therefore, the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect had already devised a plan.

The elders of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect deliberated for a long time in the secret chamber, ultimately deciding to dispatch the sect's powerful cultivators to summon Huanyu cultivators and engage in a life-and-death struggle against the two great forces of Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening.

"We can no longer stand by while Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening succeed in their plots. Now is the time to step forward and protect our cultivators." the Sect Leader of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect announced this decision with a firm and powerful voice.

The sect's powerful cultivators immediately began preparations, knowing this would be a grueling battle.

They began gathering strength, contacting allies, and preparing strategies to counter Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening.

"We will command the Huanyu cultivators to fight to the death against Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening. This is for our future, for the benefit of all cultivators in Tianji Shengyu." an elder of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect said while rallying, his words igniting the fighting spirit of the cultivators present.

With the actions of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect, a new fighting spirit surged within Tianji Shengyu.

Although the shadow of the Blood Moon Night still shrouded the land, the cultivators' hearts ignited with new hope.

Their eyes flashed with the light of determination, their spirits filled with courage.

Soon, following the summons of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect, Huanyu cultivators gathered from all directions, flowing like a tide toward the sect's assembly point—the Heavenly Dao Platform.

This is a massive platform located at the center of Tianji Shengyu; legend says it was summoned from the void by an ancient supreme being with ultimate magical power, to convene a battle stage that decides the fate of the entire holy domain.

As the cultivators arrived, the clouds above the Heavenly Dao Platform roiled, as if heaven and earth were stirred by the impending gathering.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, bathing the Heavenly Dao Platform in a golden glow like a divine realm—solemn and sacred.

The elders of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect stood at the forefront of the Heavenly Dao Platform, wearing dharma robes representing their respective sects, emanating powerful auras that displayed their identities and strength.

The Grand Elder of the Extraterrestrial Heaven Sect, Jing Yufei, stood at the very center, his gaze like a torch, scanning the growing crowd of cultivators below the platform.

"Huanyu cultivators, we gather today to jointly oppose the forces that secretly destroy Tianji Shengyu!" Jing Yufei's voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the Heaven's Opening Platform and reaching every corner.

As his words fell, a huge light curtain appeared above the Heavenly Dao Platform, displaying the emblems of Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening, as well as the disaster and destruction they had brought upon Tianji Shengyu.

Each scene deeply shook the hearts of the cultivators present, igniting their anger and fighting spirit.

"We can no longer stand by and let our fellow cultivators suffer harm! Today we must jointly oppose those hidden enemies!" Jing Yufei shouted again, his voice full of rallying power.

The cultivators' emotions were completely ignited; they waved their dharma treasures in hand, loudly responding to the call, the shout shaking heaven and earth, expressing their resolve and courage.

"Fight!" "Oppose Shadow Moon and Heaven's Opening!"

Under Jing Yufei's command, the cultivators began to arrange themselves in order, forming formation after formation.

Each formation consists of cultivators from different sects; although they come from various places, at this moment their hearts are tightly bound together. They

Their eyes were firm, their dharma treasures flickered with various colors of light, converging into a powerful force.

As the gathering concluded, the clouds above the Heavenly Dao Platform suddenly parted, revealing a scorching sun.

Sunlight, like holy light, fell upon each cultivator, infusing them with endless strength and courage.
