The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1238 Speaking Without Hesitation

Annoyed by the incessant cursing of the nine-headed beast, Yun Ran silently began to chant the sealing incantation.

If we don't teach the nine-headed beast a lesson, it will never know what it means to be subservient to others.

The nine-headed beast, seeing the sealing papers that had long since vanished into the world now showing signs of regrouping, immediately shut its mouth in fright.

Even the hand that was itching to reach out was immediately pulled back.

As if sensing something, the sealing paper calmed the nine-headed beast down, and its fragments immediately floated in mid-air without moving.

"Whoo~"

The nine-headed beast breathed a sigh of relief, its nine pairs of eyes looking fearfully toward the doorway.

It truly hadn't expected that this little kid from Qingfeng Temple would be so skilled, giving it no chance whatsoever!
After dealing with the nine ferocious beasts, Yun Ran's gaze returned to the people kneeling on the ground.

The unease she felt was something she simply couldn't let go of.

"If even one of you dares to make a move before nightfall, none of you will live!"

Yunran only made these people kneel as punishment; she didn't dare to make any big movements in this dreamlike realm.

If she were to actually attract the attention of the owner of this dreamlike realm formed from obsession, she might really lose her life here.

In this dreamlike realm, the master of that obsession is the god here, who can kill a person as easily as crushing an ant.

The person kneeling on the ground thought that he was doomed today; if not killed, he would at least be skinned alive.

Unexpectedly, it was just a punishment of kneeling.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a punishment of kneeling, which was great news for them.

Those who were trembling with fear immediately stopped trembling and knelt up straight.

Yunran ignored the others and went straight back to her room.

As soon as Yun Ran entered, the nine-headed beast immediately stepped forward to bring her a stool, being unusually attentive.

"Young Master, please have a seat."

Yunran: ...

She had only given the nine-headed beast a warning, but she hadn't expected it to be so obsequious.

"You used to be so quick to criticize, but now you've changed your tune."

The nine-headed beast just wanted to slap its past self a few times. Why did it have to court death? Now it's the one with its neck in someone's hand.

"I've been sealed away for so long that my mind is a bit unclear. I have nine heads, so it's normal that I can't quite process things at once."

Oh, right, didn't you ask me a question before? I can answer it now. Can we call it even about what happened before?

The nine-headed beast seemed to be giving in, but in reality, it was negotiating with Yun Ran.

Yunran calmly sat down and naturally saw the wounds on its arm caused by the Thunder Flower.

"We'll see if what you're saying is useful to me first. If it's not, you'd better go back into the sealing paper and not get in my way."

The nine-headed beast almost lost its temper. The people from Qingfeng Temple are just as annoying as ever, all they know is how to threaten!

"We're in this together, so I'll tell you everything I know!" Then, Yun Ran heard a secret technique from the nine-headed beast that chilled her to the bone.

It turns out that the pillar of light that rose from the ground was a low-end version of the ascension passage she had seen in the land of cherry blossoms.

For ordinary people to approach is to be sacrificed; only those who have cultivated to a certain level can take a shortcut using that power.

"This is what I heard from my elders. It was a very common practice in ancient times. The more lives sacrificed, the more feedback you would receive."

As for why this method wouldn't be discovered and punished by Heaven, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps it's a loophole.

The clan of the nine-headed beasts has long since vanished into the annals of history, and its physical body has also been annihilated. As for why its soul can still live to this day, it itself does not know.

At this point, the nine-headed beast sighed. If it hadn't lost its physical body and its soul hadn't wandered, greatly reducing its strength, it wouldn't have been sealed away by the people of Qingfeng Temple.

"The reason we sealed beings reacted before was because the energy released by those light spots also had a dispelling effect on our remaining souls."

What the nine-headed beast didn't say was that if their remaining divine souls were used as a sacrifice, it might directly open the true path to ascension.

Even ordinary people could ascend to immortality on the spot due to receiving a large amount of energy feedback.

The nine-headed beasts knew that the people of Qingfeng Temple would not do such a thing; they had willingly chosen to be sealed away.

It was also because they clearly knew that the people of Qingfeng Temple were all under some kind of restriction.

However, some secrets are best kept secret to ensure they remain secrets forever.

The nine-headed beast felt it had said everything it could, and immediately moved a little further away from Yun Ran.

Yunran silently processed this information. Things she couldn't understand before seemed to make sense now.

The man in black robes possessed such a secret technique; no wonder there were so many abandoned altars back then.

It wasn't that they didn't want to continue using such secret techniques, but rather that later societies became more civilized and advanced, and losing a person was a major incident.

In a modern society where the internet is advanced and human rights are paramount, the idea of ​​sacrificing more lives to open a path to immortality is simply wishful thinking.

Not to mention, it's not just random people who are captured and sacrificed; they all have a purpose.

Thinking of the amazing effects of her own blood, Yun Ran's expression became somewhat complicated.

I don't know whether to be happy or speechless.

It's said that of her original family members, apart from her and her father, not a single one remains.

Especially since her biological father seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred with the man in black, at this moment, the truth of everything came to light.

No wonder, he knew that the original owner's daughter did not have a good life in the Yun family, but he never intended to come looking for her.

They never even considered bringing her to their side until she displayed astonishing Xuanmen skills, at which point she finally showed herself.

Presumably, this was to prevent the original owner from appearing in the sight of those men in black robes.

Logically speaking, given the methods of the man in black robes, finding a suitable sacrifice like the original owner should not have been difficult. But unfortunately, the original owner was unlucky and had his fate changed.

By a twist of fate, the original owner of this body was not discovered by those men in black robes.

Mingming Yunran's entire face was covered up at this moment, with only her eyes showing.

However, the nine-headed beast could still sense that Yun Ran's aura had become somewhat frightening, and it immediately shrank its body even more, not wanting to be implicated.
