Chapter 1389: Sacrificial Ceremony (Part 1) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Uncle Li gave Uncle Zheng some medicinal pills and then quickly disappeared. It seemed that he was using some secret technique to hide in the shadows to continue protecting Beigong Ziyu.

Although Uncle Zheng, Wang Qi, and the others did not die, they were heavily injured.

“Eh, Master, you’re collecting the spoils of war?”

Beigong Ziyu stared blankly at Ye Chen, who was picking up the spoils of war. She was stunned. His speed of looting corpses was so fast!

“It looks like Master was definitely a ruthless character in that low-level martial plane of his.”

“He must have crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This time around, we will be heading to the Soul Race’s territory with Master. Hmph! I want to see if those youths from the Soul Race still dare to look down on the members of my Beigong family!”

Beigong Ziyu boarded a flying ship and waited for Ye Chen to finish looting the corpses. Then, she led everyone away and headed straight for Ancient Spirit City.

On the flying ship, Uncle Zheng and the others were recuperating while Beigong Ziyu was checking the jade scroll.

Ye Chen was looking through his spoils of war and counting them carefully. “Two hundred and thirty-seven Divine King-grade artifacts. On average, each elder had two. They’re really poor. They’re not even as rich as their disciples. It’s no wonder they tried so hard to kill me, those greedy b*stards!”

“Other than the artifacts I detonated, I still have at least 800 to 900 Divine King-grade artifacts with me. I can use them to make some guardian puppets and send them to the Kunlun Mountains!”

As he counted, Ye Chen sighed softly. “But why do I feel the will of the person summoning me getting weaker and weaker? Is something wrong? Is it because I’m heading in that person’s direction, or is it because that person’s injuries have worsened?”

“What is the Soul Race’s sacrificial ceremony?”

“If even a Dao Integration realm elder values it very much, it should be something special. It looks like I’ll have to ask Ziyu!”

In the flying ship, Beigong Ziyu had just finished reading the jade scroll, which contained a list of the Beigong family’s attendees for the Soul Race’s ceremony.

Of the seven spots, Beigong Ziyu and Ye Chen occupied two spots.

Two of the other five people were from affiliated sects, though not from the Land of the Universe They were the two outstanding disciples of the Hua Tian Sect, an affiliated sect that the Beigong family had conquered in the past ten years. Both of them had reached the second level of the Divine King realm at the age of 21 and were selected by the Beigong family’s elders to attend the Soul Race’s ceremony.

As for the other three people, they were the grandson of an elder, the son of a guardian, and an inner sect disciple of the Beigong family. Within the group of seven, only Beigong Ziyu was a true member of the Beigong family. The other six, including Ye Chen, could only be considered vassal experts and descendants of experts!

“Hua Tianfan, Hua Difan!”

“Second-level of the Divine King realm experts who are on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of the Divine King realm.”

“As for the other three, they’re 19-year-old peak ninth-level Semi Divine realm experts who might be able to break through and reach the fourth level of the Divine King realm if they break through with the help of an appropriate Divine King-grade artifact.”

“If they get lucky and get their hands on a remnant memory, they might be able to break through and reach the Primordial Chaos realm.”

As the leader of the group, she was given the information on the other group members. In comparison to 21-year-old second-level Divine King realm experts and 19-year-old peak ninth-level Semi Divine realm experts, Ye Shitian, who was in his twenties, and had only reached the fourth level of the Semi Divine realm, seemed insignificant.

If things were decided by cultivation level alone, he would not be qualified to participate in this ceremony, let alone know about it. It was only because he displayed such incredible combat strength in front of the eighth elder that an exception was made for his participation.

“Master, you’re here. This is the name list of the other five people. Take a look!”

Beigong Ziyu handed the jade scroll to him and pondered out loud, “It’ll be good enough if you can break through three minor realms during this sacrificial ceremony!”

“Someone who breaks through seven or eight minor realms consecutively, or even a major realm, only ever appears once every ten times!”

Ye Chen smiled wryly. “I don’t even know what the purpose of the Sacrificial Ceremony is, so knowing this information isn’t particularly useful.”

He put down the jade scroll and asked, “Can you tell me about the Soul Race’s sacrificial ceremony?”

“I almost forgot!”

“You’ve only just arrived at the Lingwu Continent, so it’s likely that you’ve never heard of this ceremony at all.”

“We’re in the western region of the Lingwu Continent, right?” Beigong Ziyu began her explanation, “The western region is primarily managed by five middle-tier families and sects. Each of them has a domain that encompasses thousands of low-tier sects and families!

“Although we don’t have any top-tier sects or families, the top ten forces in this region are all connected to the top-tier families and sects in the Northern region. Even the Beigong family is considered a branch of the Divine Dragon family!”

“Back then, the top ten forces discovered an altar together!”

“At first, they thought it was just an ordinary altar, but later, a member of the Soul Race accidentally activated the altar and actually summoned the remnant memories of a fallen expert!”

At this point, Beigong Ziyu began to get excited.

She rambled on and on about the entire ceremony to Ye Chen.

“Master, you should know that only Dao Integration realm experts are considered powerful in the Lingwu Continent!”

“The special thing about this altar is that it can gather the remnant memories of the Dao Integration and Creation Realm experts who died in battle in the past. When most of these experts died in battle, their divine souls were destroyed and they died. However, some of them were lucky that their divine souls were not fully destroyed, and lingered on as remnant memories, scattered throughout the world.”

“These remnant memories can be forcefully summoned by the altar!”

“Of course, they don’t summon these remnant memories to resurrect them, but to devour them!”

“Devour?” Ye Chen was taken aback. Was this not similar to a demonic technique?

Could it be that devouring the remnant memories of experts was done openly and brazenly?

“Cough cough!”

“Master is probably misunderstanding something.” Beigong Ziyu could tell from Ye Chen’s expression that he had gotten the wrong idea. She explained, “When a demonic cultivator devours a living person’s soul, everyone will hunt them down. However, what we’re devouring in this case is remnant memories. In other words, the other party is already dead!”

“It’s possible that the other party might eventually be resurrected, but it’s equally possible that their remnant memories will simply fade away with time.”

“Therefore, by devouring these remnant memories, we can obtain some of that expert’s abilities!”

“What abilities?” Ye Chen asked.

“For example, devouring the remnant memories of a Dao Integration realm expert may allow one to comprehend a trace of the temporal laws!”

“If a Creation realm expert’s remnant memories are devoured, there’s a chance to comprehend traces of the fusion of spatial and temporal laws, and even the laws of the five elements. At the same time, one can obtain a large amount of spiritual energy, allowing one to break through to the next level. Of course, there are also situations where you won’t be able to devour the remnant memories!”

Beigong Ziyu sat on a sandalwood chair and said indifferently, “Whenever the altar summons the remnant memories of an expert, it will definitely attract some special substance as well. Absorbing it will also allow one to continuously break through!”

“It’s just a pity that this altar can only be activated using soul power!”
