Chapter 310 The Great Yu Cauldron Recognizes Its Master?
Even though Chen Jinhua comes from the Fudaozhe Group, from his perspective, the importance of interests is the same... If they don't participate in the development of the Da Yu Dao lineage, their Fudaozhe Group will be left behind by other forces, and how can they talk about reviving the orthodox Chinese culture in the future?
Twenty young cultivators are precious, and it certainly doesn't align with the principles of their Restorationist Group... but it's a necessary sacrifice!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Fudao Group looked extremely grim.
If it's about fighting against an enemy, dying in blood... then they're not afraid.
But now, are they to become sacrifices? To be sacrificed alive?
"If you don't want to, you might as well do some divination."
Bai Ruijie suddenly smiled and said, "The tarot cards will tell us the most suitable candidate."
He now held a tarot deck in his hand and said, "Elder Chen, what do you think about using tarot cards to select people?"
Seeing this, Chen Jinhua could only nod and say:
"Young Master Bai's tarot cards are extremely insightful; they are a magical artifact that can connect with the secrets of heaven. Using this artifact to make a selection is not a bad idea."
"Young Master Bai, please—"
Bai Ruijie said, "Everyone, draw a card from the tarot deck in my hand, and I will tell you who has been chosen."
Everyone looked at each other, all reluctant. At this moment, Li Lan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Okay, I'll draw first."
He calmly drew a card from Bai Ruijie's tarot deck.
Li Lan had already taken action, and Zeng Chenglin sighed, saying, "So be it!"
He smoked too, and the others had no choice but to follow suit.
"Let me see... Hmm? Zeng Chenglin, Hall Master Zeng, Wang Yong, Li Lan, Zhou Huan..."
Bai Ruijie announced the selected person.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenglin was taken aback for a moment, and then a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
Because nearly half of the twenty people were from the South City branch!
Besides him and Li Lan, almost all the core elites of the South City branch were also included.
This is blatant targeting!
"I, Zeng, am not satisfied with this selection of personnel!"
He spoke directly, saying that the South City branch was the culmination of his years of hard work, and how could he just stand by and watch Bai Ruijie destroy it like this?
Bai Ruijie said calmly, "Everyone had already agreed, so is Hall Master Zeng going back on his word by objecting now?"
Zeng Chenglin wanted to say something more, but Li Lan had already said, "That's enough."
He stopped Zeng Chenglin and shook his head!
Li Lan's plan had already taken shape, and now there was no need to watch Zeng Chenglin and Bai Ruijie clash.
Zeng Chenglin's anger remained unabated, but when he saw the calm and firm look in Li Lan's eyes, a strange feeling stirred within him.
He knew that Li Lan was not as simple as others thought. The fact that the three Zhou brothers had all died at Li Lan's hands was enough to show how profound Li Lan's level of skill was.
Li Lan's obstruction at this moment must have a deeper meaning. After a slight hesitation, he gave Bai Ruijie a heavy snort and said nothing more.
In an instant, all the factions present agreed to Li's proposal and selected the appropriate candidates.
"very good,"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Men, begin the sacrificial ceremony!"
Li Lan and a group of other selected young cultivators were forced to walk to the front altar; there were no fewer than a hundred of them in total!
Meanwhile, the Li family had already brought up pigs, cattle, and sheep, and slaughtered the animals first. Amidst the dripping blood, they placed the animals' internal organs on the offering table.
Then, they quickly cut off the feet of several young cultivators, placed the feet on the side table, and then slit the throats of these young cultivators, using their hot blood to drench the feet!
"No, this sacrificial ceremony... is it a ritual to appease ghosts?!"
Upon seeing this, Professor Wang Yuan of the Crimson Blood Group was shocked: "This is not a ritual to the gods, something is wrong—stop it immediately!"
Long Yin's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, "Li Chengfeng, what does this mean?"
Li Chengfeng's face was grim as he said, "This is the sacrificial ceremony, and the results will be announced soon—no one is allowed to obstruct the ceremony, or they will be executed!"
"Who wants to object?"
He coldly surveyed the scene.
"Our Crimson Blood Group disagrees! Stop immediately!"
The dragon seal spoke directly.
Chen Jinhua also stepped forward. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he shouted, "Li Chengfeng, whatever the Li family wants to do, you must stop! This is the Daoist temple of Yu the Great; you absolutely cannot act recklessly here!"
Li Chengfeng glanced at them indifferently, then looked at Zhong Qingyun and Wang Zhengyun and asked, "Brother Zhong, Brother Wang, what about you?"
Zhong Qingyun smiled and said, "The Zhong family and the Li family have always been on good terms. Brother Li, you don't need to ask—"
Wang Zhengyun's face was somewhat gloomy, but after a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Our Sanhe Group supports the sacrificial ceremony."
Stand in line!
Although only five major forces came this time, these five forces are all core financial groups in China today, and their statements are full of profound meaning.
"Heh, it seems the Li family planned this all along..."
Chen Jinhua said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Long, the Great Yu Dao Temple is a very important place. Our two families must stop such an evil cult!"
Long Yin's face was also grim. He stepped forward and said, "Either stop, or fight—"
It's on the verge!
"War? You think you're worthy?"
Li Chengfeng sneered and suddenly waved his hand!
In an instant, more than a dozen powerful auras enveloped the area, all of them at the Foundation Establishment level, and even... there was one Golden Core cultivator among them!
Instantly, everyone's expression changed drastically!
"So many Foundation Establishment experts?"
"Have all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Li family arrived?"
"They actually have Core Formation stage cultivators... They actually have Core Formation stage cultivators!"
Everyone was shocked.
In the present world, the Foundation Establishment stage is the ceiling, and each faction can only have a maximum of seven or eight people at that stage.
But more than a dozen of the Li family members suddenly appeared!
Moreover, there is also a Core Formation cultivator... Such strength is practically invincible!
For a moment, Zhong Qingyun of the Zhong family had a smile on his face, while Wang Zhengyun of the Sanhe Group was sweating profusely, feeling extremely scared, and at the same time very fortunate that he had not made the wrong choice!
The people from the Crimson Blood Group and the Restoration Dao Group instantly turned extremely ugly.
The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators alone was already overwhelming, not to mention the Core Formation stage experts... the difference in strength was like heaven and earth!
Even if all the experts from the Crimson Blood Group and the Restoration Dao Group came, they might not be a match for each other in a head-on battle, not to mention that there are only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Long Yin and Chen Jinhua, on the field right now.
They are no match for the Li family at all!
"Hmm, these hundred or so cultivators are probably not enough, but if we add Brother Chen, Brother Long, and you, it should be about right..."
Li Chengfeng smiled!
The twenty seeds sent by the various powers were still far from enough for the human sacrifice; it was just a test, a selection process.
—Compliance test!
Those who stand with the Li family will survive and become their allies to share the spoils, while those who oppose them... will be the real sacrifices this time!
"Despicable scoundrel!"
"The Li family, you are trying to start a war! This is a perverse act!"
Both the Fudao Group and the Chixue Group were furious and cursing.
"This...how could this be..."
Cheng Yusu's pretty face changed color at this moment. She subconsciously looked at Bai Ruijie beside her and said, "Young Master Bai, this is different from the miracle I saw...."
According to the miracles that Bai Ruijie and his master, Mr. Yang, foretold for her, she would be favored by the ancient immortals and would begin her immortal destiny here!
She was convinced of this, because Mr. Yang's abilities had already been verified multiple times within the Restorationists.
But now, they are facing a dead end!
"Don't worry, you will find your final resting place here."
Bai Ruijie simply smiled slightly, a hint of excitement already appearing in his eyes!
His master had been refining the furnace for him for many years, and today it was finally about to succeed!
"Let's get started—"
At that moment, Li Chengfeng waved his hand calmly.
A major battle is about to erupt on the field!
Boom!
But at that very moment, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the secret realm!
It was as if an ancient god had awakened, or a primordial giant had awakened. This aura swept across the sky, traversing all distances and enveloping the entire Songshan Mountain, causing all the cultivators present to feel a tremor in their hearts, almost to the point of suffocation...
This is the aura of an unparalleled powerhouse, this is the display of an astonishing status!
Everyone turned their heads involuntarily to look into the depths of the secret realm. Where their eyes fell, the Xuanhuang Cauldron standing on the altar was now emitting a dazzling light!
Within that light, countless phantoms flashed by; those were countless mortals kneeling at the foot of Mount Song, devoutly offering their faith; those were the supreme emperor himself coming to offer sacrifices to it with the Dao fire of humanity…
"The Great Yu Cauldron has been revived?"
"Was the sacrifice successful?"
"How astonishing! Is this the power of a peerless divine artifact? It seems that with just a slight movement, it could destroy this world!"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
The Li family members were all filled with doubt and uncertainty, and Li Chengfeng frowned deeply.
According to their estimates, the number of human sacrifices required would be very large. Even sacrificing all the cultivators from the Restoration Daoist Group and the Crimson Blood Group who arrived today might not be enough. Therefore, they also prepared a large number of mortals to be transported in at any time to replenish their numbers...
But now, having only killed a few young cultivators, the Great Cauldron has already been alerted?
Is the sacrificial ceremony completed just like that?
Just as everyone was in shock, a phantom figure suddenly stepped out from inside the Xuanhuang Cauldron in the secret realm, rushed out of the secret realm, and flew directly towards everyone.
"A spirit!"
Li Chengfeng cried out, his voice trembling, "This is the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron... Stop it!"
Why would the Li family go to such lengths to perform evil rituals?
Because through evil rituals, one can influence the spirit within the Great Yu Cauldron, causing it to become corrupted in the direction they desire. In this way, the powerful figures behind them can control the Great Yu Cauldron through the spirit.
Once the artifact spirit is corrupted, it can naturally open the secret realm and obtain the inheritance within.
But now, the spirit within the Great Yu Cauldron has actually escaped...
If it gets away, those adults' plans will be completely ruined!
"Damn it, didn't those lords say that the spirit of the artifact had been weakened to the extreme after countless years of the Dharma-ending Age, its faith had collapsed?"
Li Chengfeng was extremely anxious.
Meanwhile, the Core Formation expert from the Li clan had already taken to the sky. He flew through the air and headed directly towards the artifact spirit to block it.
The spirit transformed into human form and slapped out with immense force. Instantly, the Core Formation cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily into the forest.
The spirit of the artifact also dimmed instantly, almost dissipating.
At that moment, it suddenly rushed directly towards a girl in white from the crowd—
Cheng Yusu!
In its final moments before collapsing, it chose Cheng Yusu as its host!
Cheng Yusu felt the extra light and massive amount of information in her brain, and her body trembled. She was incredulous!
I... was chosen by the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron?
Is this the destiny I'm destined to have with the immortals?
At that moment, she was instantly excited!
What is the Great Yu Cauldron? It is the legacy of the Great Yu, and the spirit within it is of an absurdly high rank. Even immortals would have to bow and pay homage to such a spirit!
Having gained the recognition of the artifact spirit, from now on, my destiny will be in my own hands, and no one can bind me anymore!
She was overjoyed and ecstatic!
Beside her, Bai Ruijie was shocked. He looked at Cheng Yusu in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
How did she gain the approval of the artifact spirit?
This completely ruined his plans!
Originally, according to the agreement between his grandfather and the Li family, the Li family would obtain the Great Yu Cauldron, while he only needed to use the Daoist temple to complete the final refining of the cauldron...
But now, things are in chaos... utter chaos!
"Catch her!"
At this moment, Li Chengfeng shouted loudly, staring intently at Cheng Yusu, his eyes burning with rage!
