Li Qianluo intertwined her feet together, swinging them in the air, and said again, "Anyway, I find it quite surprising to see the legendary Giant Spirit Race."
"What is Bitter Sea?" Xiang Beifei asked again.
"Bitter Sea, it's said to be an endless sea area in Edge Corner Airspace. As the na suggests, this sea is filled with endless pain. It's said that if you fall in, you will suffer terrifying pain and tornt, living in pain forever and ever."
"So the Giant Spirit Race appearing here ans they have crossed the Endless Bitter Sea, and it's the turning point?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Hard to say. The elders in our race ntioned that there's no way to return once you fall into the Bitter Sea unless the Yu Divine Stele suppressing the Bitter Sea is removed. But a legendary divine artifact like the Yu Divine Stele isn't sothing that can be easily moved, right?" Li Qianluo said.
"Yu Divine Stele? What is that?" Xiang Beifei asked puzzled.
Li Qianluo looked at Xiang Beifei with confusion and asked, "Didn't your elders in Congji abyss tell you children's stories when you were young? The Yu Divine Stele should be well-known to everyone!"
"My parents passed away when I was young. You had elders give you common knowledge; I didn't." Xiang Beifei said.
Li Qianluo covered her mouth and looked at Xiang Beifei sympathetically, "Ah? Is that so? Um... sorry, I didn't an to bring up your sad past, don't be upset."
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Xiang Beifei said.
"You're amazing, losing your parents at a young age and growing up on your own, yet still having such high strength." Li Qianluo admired and gave a thumbs up, then said: "Alright, let tell you about it!"
"Where I co from, we were all told so songs in childhood, such as 'The strong wind blew the dike, the river and sea water invaded; the child's relatives departed, wailing and crying; the divine Yu descended the stele, suppressing the waters back north'. In short, the legendary Yu Divine Stele can suppress any river in the world, it's really powerful." Li Qianluo said.
Xiang Beifei paused slightly, "Is the Yu Divine Stele really that powerful?"
Li Qianluo shrugged, and said, "According to the legends in historical records, Yu Shen was commanded by Heavenly Dao to use his stele to suppress the Giant Spirit Race deep in the Bitter Sea, leaving them no chance to rise. If the legend of the Yu Divine Stele is true, then it's very likely that the Yu Divine Stele is gone now, otherwise, the Giant Spirits wouldn't have appeared here."
Xiang Beifei frowned deeper.
Yu Divine Stele? Giant Spirit?
What's the connection between them?
"Woof woof!" Xiaohei suddenly barked atop the Black Jade Tree.
"I'll go up and have a look."
Xiang Beifei flew up to the top of the Black Jade Tree, where Xiaohei was floating, then waved his paw to signal Xiang Beifei.
"Looking from above?"
Xiang Beifei leaped to the highest point above the Black Jade Tree, standing in the position of Xiaohei; this was just right at the main trunk, but the lower part was still blocked by the large leaves. He moved two steps to the side, saw there was a tree scar, and stepped onto it, then looked down and was quickly astonished.
This tree's growth manner is quite mysterious; originally thought the lush large leaves grew randomly, but actually, that's not the case. These leaves grow in a very special and ingenious way, and from the tree scar Xiang Beifei stood on, one could see the full view of all the rune patterns!
A total of seventy-seven designs, all perfectly displayed in front of him through the gaps between the leaves and branches.
The arrangent of the seventy-seven designs is quite strange, as if forming a circular distribution around the trunk—extrely magical, but if the body is slightly tilted, so designs are blocked by branches and leaves, so the right angle must be found.
"What are you looking at?" Li Qianluo also jumped up and asked.
"Over here." Xiang Beifei offered his spot to Li Qianluo.
Li Qianluo also stood on the tree scar and quickly discovered the magical scene below, saying, "Do these rune patterns have so kind of pattern?"
"Hard to say."
Xiang Beifei couldn't explain it either.
Li Qianluo moved her foot away from the tree scar, exclaiming in surprise, "Can't see it from elsewhere, a bit magical, is this tree naturally grown like this?"
"How could it naturally grow like this? This giant Black Jade Tree must an sothing; let look at this scar."
Xiang Beifei squatted down, looking at the scar on the Black Jade Tree branch, the scar was thirty-four centiters long, uneven, wrinkled into a mass, but soon, Xiang Beifei suddenly realized, this doesn't seem to be an ordinary scar, because the wrinkled textures have certain patterns within, much like a maze.
Then he suddenly realized.
This actually resembles the pattern of the Blood Ritual in the shrine!
At this mont, the textures of the scar were like the patterns he saw in the shrine cave, but in a smaller version!
"Huh, I seem to have seen this thing sowhere." Li Qianluo also noticed the texture of the scar, circling around it several tis, thinking with her chin propped up, her eyes showing a hint of different color.
"Where have you seen it?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"In a certain cave, that cave is really strange, it can burst out mighty golden patterns, can't be explained quickly." Li Qianluo said.
Xiang Beifei and Xiaohei exchanged a glance.
According to such a description, Li Qianluo obviously also went to a certain shrine's Blood Ritual.
But he didn't ask in detail, as Ghost Mustache can go to a shrine, Li Qianluo having been there isn't surprising, after all, this girl has quite a few secrets.
He extended his hand, trying to infuse his Spiritual Power into the texture of the scar, but the scar showed no movent, the array's pattern had no response to his Spiritual Power.
Hesitating for a mont, Xiang Beifei cut his own palm, letting the blood drip down.
Buzz!
A strange fluctuation ca from the scar, as Xiang Beifei's blood just dripped into the scar, the scar imdiately emanated an aura, directly swallowing the drop of blood, followed by a crimson light flowing out.
Swish!
The crimson light quickly caught Xiang Beifei's wound, beginning to consu Xiang Beifei's blood, extracting it out.
"What are you doing?" Li Qianluo asked in surprise.
"Trying to see if I can awaken it."
"It's sucking your blood, is it okay?"
"It's alright, not a problem."
The loss of this amount of blood was still within Xiang Beifei's bearable range. If he sensed anything wrong, he could stop the process imdiately.
Because last ti in the shrine, Unrestrained controlled the Blood Ritual in such a way, Xiang Beifei also needed to try.
As Xiang Beifei's blood flowed into the Black Jade Tree, the enormous Black Jade Tree suddenly began to tremble, all the massive black branches and leaves emitted a strange aura, and started moving.
The rune patterns below no longer remained still; astonishingly, they began rotating along the trunk of the Black Jade Tree.
As the patterns rotated to different positions, so gaps in the patterns connected, Xiang Beifei finally realized that different rune patterns can connect together, aning these seventy-seven rune patterns are like puzzle pieces, can be assembled into different designs!
This discovery greatly surprised Xiang Beifei.
But those branches with rune patterns rotated too quickly, making it difficult for Xiang Beifei to form a complete design out of them, he tried his best to control the Black Jade Tree, to see if he could adjust the layout of those branches.
This process was tough, because the Black Jade Tree was just too large, towering thousands of ters tall, the blood needed to maneuver was an unimaginable amount, soon Xiang Beifei felt himself almost unable to hold on.
At this mont, a thunderous roar suddenly ca from the distance, and before Xiang Beifei could react, he saw a giant hand shrouding the sky reached over.
"Oh no! Discovered by the Giant Spirits! Run!"
Li Qianluo exclaid in surprise.
This was originally the courtyard of the Giant Spirits, and the Black Jade Tree grew in their yard too. Now with such commotion from the Black Jade Tree, it's impossible not to be noticed.
