Chapter 3395: Smashing the Life Gate (Revised)
t resembled a master who is unmatched in skill, and it's quite fitting for the title "Fire God."And among this group of cultivators, the man who was at the Earth Protector realm immediately bowed forw...This is a square altar, on which stand nine round stone pillars. An indistinct ripple of energy emanates from within each pillar.
What is this
Gu Yang and the others, who had just returned, also saw this altar and couldn't help but ask.
The Divine Refiner, who had never spoken a word, finally showed interest. He stroked his chin and said, "Looking at the shape, it follows the principle of heaven being round and earth being square. It should be an altar."
And among those nine stone pillars, there exists a spirit, no, it should be the presence of a tool spirit.
"Interesting, a magic artifact containing nine spirit essences within it."
"However, this spirit's strength is a bit too weak!"
They wouldn't naturally recognize this altar, but the ancient immortal who resides within the Heavenly Domain Realm, their eyes lit up with excitement: "Heavenly Altar!"
The Heavenly Altar originally belonged to the Jib clan, the same clan as Jiang Yun's elder brother, Dong Fang Bo.
However, now Ginger Cloud already knows that the sacred objects of the Nine Tribes of Extinction are all from the Four Realms Repository.
and his own father back then had not used it in the myriad heavens realm, so the cultivators of the myriad heavens realm did not know him at all.
Moreover, now that his identity has been exposed, he naturally had nothing to fear. He then used the celestial altar to summon it out.
The old man beside him heard Gu Bulao's words and asked in confusion, "What is the altar of heaven and earth"
"A magic weapon!"
Gu Bulao simply answered and then ignored the elder, his brows slightly furrowed as he muttered to himself, "The Fourth Elder bringing out the Heaven and Earth Altar at this time must be intending to use the Nine Sacrifices Heavenly Art to enhance his strength."
But now he has used another secret method to improve his strength!
Could he be attempting to wield both secret techniques simultaneously
Although Gu Bulao doesn't know the art of controlling reincarnation, Jiang Yun's Nine Sacrifices Heavenly Technique was taught to him by Gu Bulao.
Therefore, he naturally guessed what Jiang Yun was going to do.
Even he couldn't quite believe his own guess.
Know that, whether it's the myriad realms or any individual lower realm, there are many secret methods for temporarily boosting one's power. However, they generally don't allow for the superposition of two or more secret methods.
Two different spells, even if they have the same effect, can conflict with each other because the conditions required to cast them, such as the amount of power needed, differ.
In a better scenario, only one secret technique would take effect. In a worse case, the two secret techniques would clash with each other, rendering them ineffective altogether.
Gu Bulao really guessed it right!
Over the years, though Ginger Cloud has mastered both of these secret techniques, she has always chosen only one to enhance her own strength.
But now, he only has one chance to completely blast open his own vital points.
He must raise his own state to the strongest, releasing as much powerful energy as possible.
Besides, his previous deductions about the spirit master's situation made him unsure how much power the Nine Sacrifices Heavenly Art could grant him.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to cast both secret arts simultaneously!
As the altar of heaven and earth appeared, Jiang Yun's hands moved with astonishing speed, striking one complex seal after another toward the nine pillars above the celestial offering.
And from his lips, came seven words uttered softly: "With my soul, I offer myself to Heaven!"
In the end, Gingercloud still chose to offer his own soul as a sacrifice.
There's no way, besides his powerful soul, he could offer anything else as a sacrifice to sustain him through nine celestial offerings.
Although offering his soul would surely have an impact on his state, Jiang Yun believed that as long as he could successfully break open the gate of life and enter the gathering domain of the heavens, he could step into the realm of defying heaven.
By then, there will certainly be the power of heaven and earth to heal any injury, including soul wounds.
Of course, if his sacrifice was still given to the spirit master, then the spirit master could naturally heal his soul.
As Jiang Yun's voice fell, a pillar on the altar of heaven and earth suddenly burst into light.
Clearly visible, it was covered with countless lines that raced up the entire column, giving it a sense of age and mystery.
Next, Jiang Yun continued to cast his seals towards the Heavenly Altar, offering up his own soul in sacrifice!
And the pillars on the altar of heaven and earth, one by one, also lit up in sequence.
"Nine Sacrifices to Heaven!"
Finally, Jiang Yun struck out the last seal and spat out the last three words!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The nine pillars of the Celestial Altar finally blazed to life, emitting a dazzling light that shot into the heavens.
Like nine dragons of light, it surged towards the vast Linggu Domain, carrying Jiang Yun's soul to commune with this ancient realm, to exchange enough powerful strength for Jiang Yun.
At this moment, Jiang Yun's once black hair was now streaked with gray and white, his face creased with wrinkles, and his entire being emanated a palpable aura of death.
But his eyes remained clear, gazing deeply into the darkness where the nine luminous dragons had vanished.
Meanwhile, the angel who had always been watching Ginger Cloud's every move and subtle change spoke softly: "This seems to be a sacrificial art."
"Offer one's own soul and vitality as sacrifices, in exchange for a temporary surge of power."
The other twelve people all nodded in deep agreement.
With their cultivation and eyesight, they could naturally easily see the characteristics of the Nine Sacrifice Heavenly Art.
Fengming Tianzun's eyes flashed as he said, "Xuntian, what do you think, is there any possibility that Jiang Yun can now open his life gate"
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Venerable, the Angel Messenger raised his head and glanced at him, a playful gleam in his eyes. He said, "So, Brother Fengming, do you hope he can open the Gate of Life, or not"
The Heavenly Venerable smiled faintly and said, "I both hope and do not hope!"
The Inspector continued to ask, "What do you mean"
"Of course I don't want him to escape our grasp!"
"...and hope..."
The Heaven-Sealing Venerable spoke for a while, then looked at Jiang Yun and continued, "After all, transforming fate into a gate, even with our status, we have only seen written records of it."
"If we could witness someone successfully performing the art of transforming life into a gate with our own eyes, it would be an honor for us."
"Honor" The Heavenly Venerable Zhenque scoffed, "Venerable Fengming, a mere mortal's transformation into an incarnation for your sect What honor is there in that for us"
The Sovereign of the Sealed Mandate didn't mind the attitude of the missing Heavenly Venerable. He still smiled and said, "Since cultivators from the lower realms can enter the Gathering Domain of All Heavens through the transformation of their lives, could it be..."
"Perhaps we could also enter a higher realm in a similar way"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the other twelve people all froze, and they each fell into deep thought.
Because the words of the Heavenly Venerable were clearly suggestive, and also gave them some inspiration.
The Archangels spoke more directly, "Brother of the Seal, do you not sense something"
As everyone knows, the great seal-giver's lifespan is coming to an end. And at this time, when he says such words, it naturally makes the celestial inspectors unable to help but wonder if the great seal-giver has made some unknown discoveries in his dying moments!
The Heavenly Venerable sealed his fate, shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked around.
Suddenly, a wind blew through the Spirit Realm!
It's not one question, but nine!
Nine powerful and vast winds, each spanning tens of thousands of feet, howled from nine directions, converging on Jiang Yun's body.
Obviously, this is the power Ginger Cloud borrowed!
"Bang bang bang!"
Nine gusts of wind rushed forward, one after another, into Ginger Cloud's body. This caused the energy around Ginger Cloud's body to surge wildly!
"Whoa!"
Although Ginger Cloud's appearance was still aged, at this moment, his aura had ascended to a peak. This allowed him to raise his hand without hesitation and smash it toward his own ten-thousand zhang life gate!ountain, but instead begins to roll outward!In other words, the Nine Soldiers Formation just now was purely defensive.
