Chapter 280: Sacrificing to the Decayed Fairy

If the second possibility were true, then it would be hard to imagine that the birth and destruction of a dynasty were both major events, and there should be records with heavy ink.

But now, let alone records, even the name has not been left behind.

Who was the founding emperor, how many years did the dynasty exist, how many Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators were there, why did it collapse, why is there no record at all... all of these cannot be known.

The most critical point is the last question, which might have something in common with the method of erasing the existence of the Decayed Fairy.

"Fairy, were there any heavenly phenomena when an Immortal fell?"

The Decayed Fairy was stunned by this question: "There has never been an Immortal falling in history. Who knows if there are phenomena... oh no, I died."

"I don't know what happened after I died. Probably not?"

The Decayed Fairy was not very sure.

"There were no phenomena." Miss Yun Zhi answered this question for the Decayed Fairy, which surprised Lu Yang.

How did the Senior Sister know?

Lu Yang didn't delve into this question. An Immortal falling would have no phenomena. In other words, no one might know when an Immortal fell.

Why didn't the four ancient Immortals resurrect the Decayed Fairy?

Did they not want to resurrect her, could they not resurrect her, or did they not know at all that the Decayed Fairy had fallen?

No, even if they didn't know the Fairy had fallen at the time, the 300,000-year period should have been enough for them to know that something was wrong with the Fairy and that she needed to be resurrected.

"Don't think about this question anymore." Miss Yun Zhi didn't stay too long in front of the mural and left straight away. Lu Yang and the Decayed Fairy hurried to follow.

"There are nineteen floating platforms in the ruins. Although there are many, the layout is similar, and they are all buildings."

The Senior Sister spread her hands and built a model of the ruins in her palm. Eighteen floating platforms were in an arching shape, surrounding the largest floating platform among them. The layout was regular, as if some kind of sacrificial activity was being carried out.

On the largest floating platform, pavilions stood in great numbers, also in an arching shape, protecting the altar in the center.

The three of them were going to this altar.

The more the Decayed Fairy looked at this layout, the more familiar it became: "This sacrificial method, why is it the same as sacrificing to me in the ancient era?"

"The same as sacrificing to the Fairy?"

The Decayed Fairy nodded and told an Immortal secret: "Right, after I became an Immortal, the Ying Tian Immortal and the others didn't just shove a planet to me."

"They said that after becoming an Immortal, one must have believers, which is convenient for showing off one's own great power and the dignity of an Immortal. I said this was too troublesome, and they said it didn't matter, they could help me design a sacrificial process."

"The sacrificial method of this ruin is about the same as the one designed by the Ying Tian Immortal and the others. They said that the number eighteen has a special intention in cultivating immortality. Nine is the ultimate, eighteen is the double ultimate, the limit of the limit. This sacrificial method implies that I have obtained eighteen kinds of blessings, which can make me last forever, without increase or decrease. It is the highest specification of sacrifice. The four of them don't do this."

Lu Yang gasped. The Fairy had such a big face. Four Immortals took action just to design a sacrificial process for her and explained the design concept?

The four ancient Immortals were open-minded, not caring at all that the Decayed Fairy was causing trouble for them everywhere. Perhaps only with such a state of mind could one become an Immortal.

Lu Yang had some insights, but felt that something was wrong.

The Senior Sister, who was listening silently to the Decayed Fairy's story, had a strange expression: "But according to the research of old scholars on this sacrificial method, combined with ancient records, it is believed that this is a cold-door array from the ancient era, named 'Eighteen Hells Demon-Slaying Array'."

Lu Yang felt that everything was explained.

The Decayed Fairy gritted her teeth after hearing this, wishing she could single out the four ancient Immortals, so that they would know who was the strongest Immortal in the ancient era: "Those dogs of the Ying Tian Immortal, I treated them well, and they dared to treat me like this!"

'I think they are quite self-restrained to treat you like this.'

Of course, this was just said in his heart. Lu Yang didn't dare to say it in front of the Decayed Fairy, fearing being beaten.

"That's it, it must be that they were beaten by me too many times before they became Immortals, and they saw me form the Decayed Dao Fruit when I became an Immortal, were jealous of my talent, and found an opportunity to take revenge on me!" The Decayed Fairy quickly found the reason from herself and attributed the reason to herself being too strong.

The three arrived at the center of the altar. In the middle of the altar stood a hundred-meter-high giant Immortal statue, which was the Decayed Immortal statue that Lu Yang had seen that could not distinguish between male and female.

It seemed that this was the source of the Decayed Immortal statue. The first Sect Master established the Decayed Sect only after seeing this statue.

At the feet of the Immortal, there were delicious dishes made of various rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The lowest quality ingredient inside was a 5,000-year-old ganoderma.

Probably because the quality of the ingredients was too high, so much time had passed, and it hadn't grown moldy or deteriorated.

The Decayed Fairy showed a look of disgust, very dissatisfied with the Decayed Sect's approach: "Really not particular, putting food at the feet."

This was left behind when the Decayed Sect came here to sacrifice before it was destroyed.

The Decayed Ruins were crucial to the Decayed Sect. In addition to the prayer every ten years, a series of major events such as appointing the Sect Master, blessing the Sect Master, and backstabbing the Sect Master all took place here, under the gaze of the Decayed Immortal.

"Let's go. According to the report submitted, there is a cave inside the statue."

Miss Yun Zhi led the two around to the back of the statue. Behind the statue, there was actually a door hidden. In front of the door, mysterious symbols were floating, constantly sinking and shaking, sealing this door and making it impossible to open.

Miss Yun Zhi felt the strength of the mysterious symbols and felt that it could be forcibly opened, but this might damage the things inside.

"The first Sect Master discovered several immortal treasures behind this door. He accidentally opened this door and took away a few of them. When he wanted to come back to take other immortal treasures, this door had already closed."

"He tried several times, but still couldn't open the door. In desperation, he had to take other immortal treasures, leave the ruins, and establish the Decayed Sect."

"The first Sect Master tried for a lifetime but couldn't open this door. Since then, successive Sect Masters have wanted to open the door, take away the immortal treasures, and strengthen the Decayed Sect, but all ended in failure."

"Old scholars are also helpless, saying that this is a seal left by an Immortal, and only an Immortal can open it."

"Fairy, do you know the meaning of this symbol? Can you open this door?"

The Decayed Fairy showed a look of reminiscence: "Why does this look like the door to my kitchen?"

"Look at this symbol, I wrote it too, meaning 'Kitchen restricted area, idlers keep out'."

The second chapter is around ten-thirty.
