Chapter 1173: Blood Inheritance Ceremony
As soon as the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords became one with the thirty-six sword projections, a burst of tremendous suction force abruptly erupted out of the array diagram, sucking in the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords in the blink of an eye.
A look of bewilderment appeared on Han Li's face, and he could sense his own immortal spiritual power also being sucked into the array diagram in a frenzy.
In the blink of an eye, close to a third of his immortal spiritual power had been devoured, and all of the nearby world's origin qi was also surging into the array diagram.
On top of that, thick arcs of lightning had begun springing out of thin air before fusing into the array diagram as well.
A surprised look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, but he allowed the array diagram to continue devouring his immortal spiritual power as it pleased.
Meanwhile, the world's origin qi on Eight Plains Mountain was churning violently, and dense, dark clouds were gathering up above, quickly taking up the entire sky.
Immediately thereafter, flashes of lightning began to appear in the dark clouds, accompanied by gusts of ferocious wind.
This lightning was drastically different from normal lightning, and it was giving off bursts of asphyxiating lightning law power fluctuations.
Such a massive commotion naturally attracted the attention of all of the primordial beings on Eight Plains Mountain, and many of them had flown out of their settlements to see what was happening.
"What's going on? Why have all of these dark clouds suddenly appeared?"
"Could it be that someone's triggered a lightning tribulation while making a breakthrough?"
"I don't think so. This doesn't feel like a lightning tribulation. Instead, it seems to be a natural phenomenon brought about by some powerful ability."
All of the primordial beings were perplexed by what they were witnessing, but to their relief, the lightning remained contained within the dark clouds, with none of it crashing down from the heavens above.
It didn't take long before all of the Great Encompassment Stage beings on the mountain were also alerted, and they all began attempting to assess the situation, only for their spiritual sense to be kept out by a burst of immense time law powers.
On the summit of Eight Plains Mountain, Bai Ze emerged from the palace with slightly furrowed brows.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then quickly reopened them as he cast a surprised gaze toward the courtyard where Han Li was staying.
"Impressive," he murmured to himself, then made his way back into the palace.
......
Inside the Flower Branch domain, Han Li was completely oblivious to the phenomena unfolding outside.
At this point, over half of his immortal spiritual power had already been devoured by the Almighty Sword Array Diagram, leaving him looking rather pale.
Their leader was a hunch-backed elderly man dressed in a white robe with a pair of extremely long, white eyebrows, and he appeared no different from an unremarkable, frail old man.
Even though the two tribes were situated next to each other on the plaza, there was a clear divide between the two of them, indicating that they weren't all that close.
Liu Le'er had already spotted Han Li and Xiao Bai even before they arrived, and a bright smile appeared on her face as she turned to approach them, only to be sternly held back by Liu Qing, who chastised, "Stay focused! We're not here to play around!"
Liu Le'er could only stick out her tongue in a sheepish manner in response.
Han Li gave her a smile and a nod, then calmly made his way onto the plaza with Xiao Bai, while all of the nearby primordial beings looked on with puzzled expressions.
There was a Mountain Moving Ape being nearby that was far smaller in stature than his brethren, standing at only around half the height of an adult human, and his fur was also a pure white color, making him stand out like a sore thumb.
He was looking at Han Li and Xiao Bai with a curious expression, the latter of which bared his fangs in intimidation, clearly not very pleased by the Mountain Moving Ape being's intrigued scrutiny.
Funnily enough, the Mountain Moving Ape beings was quite the coward, and he was so frightened by Xiao Bai's display of intimidation that he immediately ducked behind one of his taller brethren.
Xiao Bai was rather amused by this, and his disgruntled expression was replaced by an amused smile.
The little white ape snuck a glance at Xiao Bai from around the Mountain Moving Ape being that he was hiding behind, and a wide smile also appeared on his face at the sight of Xiao Bai's amused expression.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I understand that His Majesty has given you permission to attend the ceremony, but this is an event of the utmost importance for all of our primordial tribes, so there are some things that I must inform you of," Liu Qing suddenly said.
"Please go ahead, Senior," Han Li prompted.
"A gong will be struck on the mountain summit soon, and that will serve as a signal for the primordial tribes to scale the mountain using the eight paths around the mountain. These mountain paths have restrictions placed upon them by the eight ancient True Spirit Kings, and these restrictions are effective on all living beings.
“Under the effects of these restrictions, even powerful primordial beasts with formidable physical constitutions would struggle to scale the mountain, so make sure to be on your guard and don't push yourself too hard," Liu Qing cautioned.
"Thank you for informing me of this, Senior, I'll keep that in mind," Han Li replied with a nod while taking a concerned glance at Liu Le'er and Xiao Bai.
Neither of them excelled in terms of their physical constitutions, so was it not going to be a struggle for them to scale the mountain?
"There's no need to worry about them. The effects of the restrictions will be less potent on those who possess the bloodlines of the eight ancient True Spirit Kings, so it'll be easier for them to scale the mountain than others," Liu Qing reassured, and Han Li was quite relieved to hear this.
He looked up at the majestic mountain before him to discover that the entire mountain was enshrouded under a layer of dark red light. Directly up ahead was a stone staircase that had been chiseled into the mountain and was over ten thousand feet tall, resembling a giant ladder that led up to the heavens.
Right at this moment, three resounding gong strikes rang out from the mountain summit, sending soundwaves that were visible to the naked eye sweeping through the air in all directions.
These soundwaves seemed to contain some type of special energy fluctuations, and as they washed over him, Han Li felt as if the true spirit bloodlines in his body had been awakened and had begun circulating on their own.
After taking a moment to compose himself, he looked around to discover that all of the surrounding primordial beings' auras had swelled drastically, and faint, pink mist had begun seeping out of their bodies.
