I changed the world.

Zhang Jing was standing in front of the altar in Lishan Cave. The altar was a functional building used to assist in the drawing of magic arrays and the performance of secret rituals, and it had many wonderful uses.

The current altar was just repaired and adjusted under the abbot Zhang Taihe's supervision. It is an octagonal building with an ever-burning flame.

In the absence of an altar, Zhang Jing would need to use specially prepared liquids to draw a special spell array according to strict mystical methods, which is quite cumbersome. However, with the use of the grotto altar, these steps are omitted, greatly simplifying the ritual.

Because Zhang Taihe has been focusing his energy on the world behind the bronze gate these days, he didn't involve his teacher in this matter, and planned to inform him after the preparations were complete.

He placed his hand on a stone sphere beside the altar, and as his divine sense probed into it, the altar was activated, and the octagonal eternal flame suddenly blazed brightly.

At the same time, the stone sphere slowly floated up, its surface cracking in a regular pattern. On each of the broken fragments, runes with different meanings lit up.

Under Zhang Jing's divine control, a rune on the stone sphere lit up, and then mist began to rise around the altar. The large area of ​​mist quickly isolated the surrounding area from the altar. This was a kind of defensive measure to prevent the altar from being affected when it was in operation.

After that, the runes on the stone sphere began to flash continuously, and at the same time, a huge magic circle made of pure energy began to form on the altar.

First came the inner magic ring, then the guiding runes, the power, the prayers, the outer magic ring, the outer ring magic runes, and so on, like complete modules being pieced together. With the aid of the altar, Zhang Jing completed this most complicated step quite smoothly, finishing the basic secret ritual array in about five minutes.

After the magic circle was drawn, some of the primers that were originally prepared to be placed on one side of the altar floated up and, as if attracted by a magnet, went to various nodes on the altar. Most of them were placed in and around the inner magic ring.

These catalysts, such as specific minerals, amber, clear water, tree branches, the bones of wild beasts, and other things that seem strange and unusual to ordinary people, each have their own mystical meanings.

After arranging everything, Zhang Jing checked the formation of the magic array again and again to confirm that there were no problems. Then he took out the jade pendant and the jade pendant was immediately moved to the core of the altar.

As Zhang Jing activated his incantation, the prayer section of the magic circle lit up first, emitting a bright blue light, followed by the rest. After the connection was complete, a continuous stream of power poured in from the void. Without the altar's assistance, Zhang Jing would now need to exert considerable effort to control this power and guide it into the magic circle…

With the aid of the altar, the difficulty was greatly reduced, and the superconsciousness within the cave completed this step on Zhang Jing's behalf. For Zhang Jing, this was an extremely helpful function, directly preventing inexperienced novices like him from experiencing energy outbursts and destroying high-level magic arrays due to insufficient personal self-control.

As energy was continuously poured in, a large amount of lightning began to form on the altar. Arcs of lightning crisscrossed, forming a net that bound the jade pendant within, like a cage of lightning. Some of the lightning arcs struck the jade pendant, producing crackling sounds…

As if in response, thick black energy began to surge out of the jade pendant, rushing left and right as if trying to break free of its cage.

Zhang Jing was currently connecting with the entire altar through his divine sense. From his perspective, what was bound by the altar was not the seemingly ordinary jade pendant, but a giant sitting on a skeletal throne. This giant had a blue face and fangs, dark blue skin, and crimson hair. The rosary around its neck was made of skulls, and black mist swirled around it, from which came the sounds of ghostly wails.

It was the giant we had seen before, the one who had falsely claimed to be the "Moonlight Pagoda." This giant was covered in wounds and had been sleeping. However, it was awakened by the lightning and struggled desperately to break free from the lightning's restraints.

Thick black energy surged from its body and soared into the sky, as if a wronged soul from the underworld was trying to break free of the cage of lightning.

Above the altar, lightning raged, and white lightning had formed a sea of ​​plasma, tightly binding the jade pendant within. However, the thick, tangible black gas surging from the jade pendant, resembling black asphalt, sometimes transformed into wailing faces, sometimes into bizarre monsters, constantly charging left and right, trying to break free from the lightning's restraint.

From the perspective of divine sense, the giant struggled more and more violently, but at this moment it was already at its last gasp. Its essence had been severely damaged and had not yet recovered. Although it struggled, it was powerless to break free of its restraints. Only the black aura on its body was constantly being worn away.
