Chapter 2577

If it were you, saying you were visiting, but after waiting, you found over twenty human race Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels—would you panic?

Who brings tens of thousands to someone's home for a visit?

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe originally had this mindset; if not for a Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child accompanying them, they might not have been able to explain it at all.

At this time, those tens of thousands of Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace experts were still resting in various places of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, gritting its teeth, arranged lodging for everyone.

Who made them impossible to provoke?

Early the next morning, that Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child came again, saying that for these days he would be responsible for receiving Ye Zhangqing and his party.

This spirit child's name is Ling Yunyi.

As for his thoughts, Ye Zhangqing naturally guessed a bit, but he had no interest.

Still the same saying: without a Heavenly Pool quota, what do you and I have to talk about?

Ye Zhangqing is now interested in this Heavenly Pool quota.

However, Ling Yunyi showed great enthusiasm, busying himself before and after at Ye Zhangqing's place early in the morning, enjoying himself.

This person indeed had skill; he not only served Ye Zhangqing comfortably, but also did not neglect or slight Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping.

Knowing these two were Ye Zhangqing's senior brothers and that their feelings were deep, Ling Yunyi naturally knew the benefit of maintaining good relations with them.

Sometimes this idle talk can really be deadly; one must not be careless.

"Young Master Ye, the tribe is holding a Sea God sacrifice today; if you have nothing else, you can go take a look."

"Sea God sacrifice?"

"Yes, every time the Heavenly Pool opens, the tribe holds it to seek the Sea God's blessing."

As for what this Sea God is, Ye Zhangqing had never heard Yu Hengxin mention it.

According to Ling Yunyi, this Sea God is a kind of divine object unique to the ocean where the Heavenly Spirit Tribe resides.

Born with immensely powerful strength and a long lifespan, it can be called immortal and indestructible.

This ocean can continue to exist precisely because of the Sea God's existence.

It is the Sea God that protects this ocean and also protects the entire Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

Therefore, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe venerates the Sea God as a deity and offers sacrifices generation after generation.

Upon hearing Ling Yunyi's introduction, Ye Zhangqing indeed felt a bit of interest.

As for a deity, that really is the case.

Having nothing else to do, let's go take a look, just treating it as a leisurely stroll.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Ling Yunyi was naturally overjoyed—this was his chance to perform.

First show his face at Ye Zhangqing's place, solidify the relationship, then when the old man's Heavenly Pool quota comes down, that will be his moment to achieve merit.

Yu Hengxin, you still need to learn.

Summoning Huang Lao, the four of them immediately set off for the sacrificial site under Ling Yunyi's guidance.

Around the vast forest, a grand and ancient Altar had already been erected.

The Altar itself is a rare treasure; although it has little offensive power, it has always been revered as a holy object by the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

Because of this Altar, it possesses the ability to communicate with the Sea God.

More than ten people stood on the Altar, but Ye Zhangqing and his companions did not approach, after all, they had their own rules.

Only priests may ascend the Altar.

Even Ling Yunyi, as one of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's spirit sons, had never set foot on the Altar and could only watch from below.

However, upon the arrival of Ye Zhangqing and his group, Ling Yunyi still found them the best spot.

It was the closest to the Altar and offered the best view.

He even thoughtfully prepared Tǎng yǐ, spirit fruits, and the human race's immortal brewed wine—quite meticulous.

While drinking wine and watching the sacrifice on the Altar, as an incomprehensible dance ended, more than ten Heavenly Spirit Tribe children were immediately brought up.

These were all children under ten years old from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe; in human terms, they were boys and girls.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing frowned slightly and said.

"What is this?"

Hearing this, Ling Yunyi, who was accompanying them at the side, hurriedly explained.

"Young master, this is the most crucial step of the sacrifice—the offering."

"An offering? Using living people as sacrifices?"

Ling Yunyi's answer confirmed Ye Zhangqing's suspicion—it really was a human sacrifice.

Where did they learn this? The human race has long abandoned such practices.

In the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, facing so many extraterrestrial tribes, no matter how strong you are, if you dare to tell the human race, 'I will guarantee your safety if you perform human sacrifices,' that kind of talk...

The Heavenly Palace will without hesitation directly attack you.

What a load of nonsense about guaranteeing safety; if your own strength is weak, no one can protect you—after all, it's still true that relying on others is inferior to relying on oneself.

Moreover, having lived two lives as a human, Ye Zhangqing feels no fondness for this kind of human sacrifice; it's simply foolish.

If the tribe's safety truly depends on the lives of a few children, then such a tribe might as well not exist.

Apparently noticing Ye Zhangqing's displeasure, Ling Yunyi hurriedly explained.

"Young master, this sacrificial procedure has been passed down since ancient times; in our generation, we have made no changes, so it has remained this way……"

While speaking, Ling Yunyi carefully observed changes in Ye Zhangqing's expression.

He feared that if Ye Zhangqing became displeased and suddenly erupted, interrupting the sacrifice, it would cause trouble.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing ultimately showed no abnormal reaction.

Nowadays, Ye Zhangqing is more curious to see what this so-called Sea God actually is.

To demand a human sacrifice—what lowly god would stoop to such a disgraceful act?

You are exactly the kind of person the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon wants to eat; everyone knows to rely on their own strength, yet you, pretending to be a god, are still here cheating and deceiving.

Under Ye Zhangqing's gaze, as more than ten children were brought onto the Altar.

What is pitiable is that these more than ten children, knowing their own fate, show not a trace of panic on their faces; instead, they are filled with intense pride.

It seems as if being able to become a sacrifice to the Sea God is a great honor.

It is obvious they have been long-term brainwashed in advance, and can no longer distinguish right from wrong.

More than ten children voluntarily stepped to the edge of the Altar, awaiting the Sea God's 'favor'.

And after waiting roughly a hundred breaths, a huge black shadow indeed appeared in the sea beneath the Altar.

Like a giant ship, it lurked in the seawater and swiftly swam toward this side.

"Young master, the Sea God has arrived."

Ling Yunyi spoke up in time to remind Ye Zhangqing.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing had naturally noticed it long ago, but his momentary stupor now was not because he was frightened by the Sea God.

After all, having come all the way from the Xia Jie to Beyond the Heavens, Ye Zhangqing is no longer that ignorant fool; he has seen enough not to be frightened merely by a huge size.

The reason I just momentarily staggered is simply because, at the moment that so-called Sea God appeared, the dog system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly stirred—and it was no small movement.

All I heard was the system's voice sounding in my mind, just as friendly as ever.
