"Fellow Daoist Shi, since the bell is ringing, could it be?" Han Li asked.
"That's right, Father has come out of seclusion. He will probably summon us tomorrow. We will act according to the plan." Shi Chuankong nodded.
"Alright." Han Li nodded, but his expression was solemn.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry. Third Brother's plans are always foolproof. Father will definitely agree to it." Shi Chuankong comforted Han Li when he saw his expression.
Han Li smiled and didn't say anything else.
After that, Shi Chuankong gave Han Li a few more instructions for him to take note of before dispersing his spatial clone.
Han Li looked in the direction of the Holy Mountain, then turned around and walked back to his room.
The night passed by quickly.
Early the next morning, Han Li dressed neatly and came to the main hall.
Shi Pokong and Shi Chuankong had already arrived here. Both of them had changed into purple luxurious clothes with a jade belt around their waists and a violet-gold crown on their heads. They looked like disciples of the Imperial Family of the mortal world, and they seemed extremely noble.
Shi Chuankong's purple-gold crown was embedded with three shining pearls, while Shi Chuankong's crown was much dimmer and didn't have a single pearl.
"Apologies for making the two of you wait." Han Li looked at the two and said.
"No worries, we just arrived." Shi Chuankong smiled.
"Let's go." Shi Chuankong's expression was calm. He nodded slightly at Han Li and walked out.
The three of them quickly left the mansion and saw two beast carriages parked at the entrance.
The first beast carriage was exceptionally gorgeous. Its entire body was golden, and the beast that was pulling the carriage was also a golden lion beast. Its entire body was covered in thick golden fur, and it looked exceptionally majestic. There was a golden canopy above the carriage that was fluttering in the wind.
The second beast carriage was much more ordinary, but it was much bigger than the first one. There was a man in red standing beside it. It was the Bloody Marquis.
When Han Li looked at the Bloody Marquis, the marquis also looked over and greeted Han Li with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we need to see Father. Father values the Holy Realm's laws and rules the most, so we can't share the same beast carriage. I'll have to trouble you and the Bloody Marquis to take the one behind." Shi Chuankong said to Han Li.
Han Li nodded and boarded the second beast carriage with the Bloody Marquis.
"Let's go." Shi Pokong and Ye Zichen stepped onto the first carriage. After giving the order, the two beast-carriages immediately sped forward.
Han Li looked at the Marquis and smiled, "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Blood Drop Marquis. Many thanks to you for drawing away Daoist Reflecting Bone. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Shi and I may not have been able to return to Yang Ye City."
"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Li. I'm truly ashamed to speak of what happened in the past. His Third Highness sent me to escort you and His Thirteenth Highness back to Yang Ye City, but I wasn't of much use. I was even severely injured by that old demon, Zhao Gu. I had to go into seclusion for a long time to recover.
I heard that Daoist Radiant Bone was killed by Daoist Li. Daoist Li's strength is truly unfathomable. I admire you. "The Bloody Marquis chuckled.
"I was only able to kill that Reverend Reflecting Bone because of all sorts of coincidences. If I were to do it again, I would be the one to die." Han Li laughed it off.
"Fellow cultivator Li is too modest." The Blood Drop Marquis smiled.
As the two of them chatted, the beast carriage sped forward.
Han Li had only gone out a few times in the past few years. Most of the time, he went to the Maha District to buy things or search for good prescriptions for the Weeping Soul Beast. He had never walked around the Raka District, so he was not familiar with the situation there.
Now that he was in the beast carriage, he slowly saw the situation in Luojia District.
Because it was close to the Sacred Mountain, the terrain of the entire Luojia District extended from the north to the south, showing an upward slope.
The layout of the Luojia District was also based on this. Layers of buildings extended from the bottom of the Sacred Mountain all the way to the edge of the city walls. They were arranged extremely neatly, like a flight of stairs.
And the closer they got to the Sacred Mountain, the taller and more magnificent the surrounding buildings.
The two beast carriages turned a few corners, and an extremely wide white jade road appeared in front of them.
This road was a hundred meters wide, and it stretched straight forward towards the Sacred Mountain.
Han Li's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.
The two sides of the white road were filled with people, densely packed all the way to the foot of the Sacred Mountain.
These people all had respectful expressions, and they were worshipping the Sacred Mountain, but they did not pay attention to Shi Pokong and the others.
"Every time Royal Father comes out of seclusion, he holds a Heavenly Worship Ceremony. Everyone in the city will come to this Sacred Road and worship for an entire day." The Blood Drop Marquis saw Han Li's expression and explained.
"I see." Han Li nodded slowly.
The two beast carriages did not stop. They followed the white jade road and quickly flew towards the Sacred Mountain.
After half an hour, the beast carriages finally arrived at the foot of the Sacred Mountain and stopped in front of a large palace.
This palace covered an area of several hundred acres, and there were over a thousand palaces. All of the palaces were made from a kind of black crystal.
This crystal was very smooth, as if it was the highest grade black crystal. It emitted a pure black glow, and it was clearly a very good material.
Each palace was covered in demon god or strange beast carvings, and they were all very beautiful.
"This is the residence of the Sacred Emperor, the Sacred Palace." The Blood Drop Marquis explained to Han Li.
Next to the palace was a huge square made of white jade. It was no smaller than the palace, and in the center stood a huge altar. It was built with a greenish-black material and looked very simple and unadorned.
The crowd of people worshipping the altar extended all the way to the plaza.
At this moment, the square was filled with people. They were worshipping the altar and chanting prayers.
"Let's go. According to the rules, we also need to pay our respects before we can go to the Sacred Emperor's Palace to see father." Shi Pokong said as he got off the beast carriage and walked towards the altar.
The group immediately followed and quickly arrived at the bottom of the altar.
Han Li looked over and saw that there was nothing special about the altar, only two large statues.
Although the two statues were very simple and did not have any sharp edges, they gave off a lifelike feeling, as if they were two living people and not statues.
One of the statues was completely white and was a woman with a kind face. She stood there with a smile, as if she was the mother of all living beings, giving off a sense of peace.
The other statue was completely different. It was completely black, and it had twelve heads and twenty-four arms.
The heads all had different expressions, such as anger, joy, indifference, sadness, etc., as if they contained all the emotions in the world.
The hands were also making various gestures, such as spreading their fingers, or waving their hands and grabbing, as if they were trying to capture the soul.
Han Li looked at the two statues and his eyes flickered.
He had studied a lot about the Demon Territory over the years. The two statues were the two gods that the people of the Demon Territory worshipped, the Nether Goddess and the Tian Sha Saint Emperor.
According to the legends, the entire Demon Territory was created by the Tian Sha Saint Emperor after he cut open the endless void, and the Nether Goddess created thousands of living beings in the Demon Territory. She was the mother of all living beings.
Han Li naturally did not believe this rumor, but it was the first time he had seen the statues of the two gods, so he could not help but look at them a few more times.
His gaze lingered on the Nether Goddess for a while, but he quickly shifted his gaze and looked at the Tian Sha Saint Emperor. He suddenly frowned.
It was the first time he had seen the statue of the Tian Sha Saint Emperor, but it gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.
He could not help but look at it carefully, and a purple light flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, although he was still a distance away from the top of the altar, with Han Li's eyesight, the two statues appeared clearly in his eyes, and he did not miss a single detail.
"Eh?"
His expression changed again, and he stared at the waist of the Tian Sha Saint Emperor. There was a jade belt wrapped around the belt, and a row of strange words was carved on it.
Those words were the same as the words that appeared on the statue that Han Li had obtained from Zhenren Zhaogu. It seemed to be the same type.
Over the years, he had occasionally studied the words on the statue, but unfortunately, he had not found any clues. Now, he had actually discovered something.
Han Li was secretly delighted, and he was about to take a closer look at those words.
At that moment, a black light flashed in the eyes of one of the Tian Sha Saint Emperor's heads, and he looked at him. Suddenly, a boundless aura of darkness was released, and all the light in the surroundings was instantly swallowed.
Han Li's heart trembled. He felt his soul violently jump, as if it was about to be sucked out of his body and into the depths of the darkness.
His body felt like it was being suppressed in a layer of ice. Everything in his body was frozen, and he could not move at all. He could only watch as everything happened, and he was powerless to stop it.
However, in the next instant, everything disappeared before Han Li's eyes. Light returned to his surroundings, and the black light in the eyes of the head on the palace also disappeared, as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.
Although it was only for an instant, Han Li felt all the hairs on his body stand up and his heart beat like a drum. He could not help taking a step back.
"Fellow cultivator Li, what's wrong?" The Blood Drop Marquis looked over.
Shi Chuankong also looked over, revealing a surprised expression.
Looking at their expressions, it seemed like they did not notice anything strange about the statue.
"It's nothing, I just feel a bit uneasy about seeing the Holy Master." Han Li was silent for a moment, barely calming his heart, and said.
"Fellow cultivator Li does not need to worry. Although my royal father is strict, he is not an unreasonable person." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
Han Li forced a smile and looked at the Tian Sha Saint Emperor's statue again, but there was no change to the statue at this moment.
"Let's go." Shi Chuankong said softly. He stepped onto the steps of the altar and climbed up.
Han Li and the others immediately followed and quickly arrived at the top of the altar.
At the top was a flat ground that was dozens of meters wide. Besides the two statues, there was nothing else. There were only runes engraved on the ground, forming a giant oval array.
And in the middle of the array, there were dozens of people wearing priest robes sitting cross-legged. They were holding various magic tools as they muttered to the two statues.
