Chapter 1408: The Heaven is Round and the Earth is Square

nce.Everyone stood frozen, like statues, their eyes and mouths wide with astonishment at the sight before them!Ginger Yun stood motionless, while Zong Bai had already retreated nearly ten zhang, his f...This stele... yearns for someone to make a sacrifice to it!

When he understood the meaning contained in the inscription on the stone tablet, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be slightly startled!

As part of the altar, the stele contained not the divine consciousness left by the Ji clan, but rather a new desire for offerings.

Although Jiujitianshuang Yun used a lot of Ginger, he really didn't know much about the Jiji tribe or their sacred object, the Heavenly and Earth Altar.

At this moment, Ginger Cloud felt as if it were alive, actively demanding offerings!

However, this allowed Jiang Yun to almost certainly determine that this celestial altar was just like the previous reincarnation tree, a counterfeit of a holy relic.

How long it had been placed here, he didn't know. But it wasn't hard to imagine that it must have been a very, very long time since it last tasted the offerings. So, feeling the craving for sacrifices, it reacted to the Nine Sacrifice Heavenly Technique performed by Ginger Cloud.

“Although Jiang Mo is not a member of the Ji clan, he has used the Nine Sacrifices to Heaven Technique many times. In that sense, he does owe your Ji clan quite a bit.”

"Besides, my elder brother is from your Shi clan. Therefore, I will satisfy your desire today!"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun, like always, transformed his immense vitality into an offering and poured it into the stone tablet.

"Boom!"

As the vitality of the ginger cloud poured in, the stone tablet suddenly trembled violently. The runes on its surface also began to light up at a visible speed.

Standing beneath it, he looked up as the runes on the stele lit up one by one, growing ever brighter. While the sight was magnificent, a wry smile played on Jiang Yun's lips.

Because these runes are able to light up, they rely entirely on their own vitality!

In a mere instant, nearly one-tenth of my life force had dissipated. And one-tenth of my life force can be said to be unimaginably vast.

It's fortunate that my own life fire has already undergone five cycles of rebirth, my vitality far surpassing that of others. If it were anyone else, in such a short time, they would likely be in grave danger.

However, even so, Jiang Yun couldn't truly let this stele absorb all of his vitality. So he had already decided that once the runes on the stele were fully lit, he would immediately sever the sacrifice.

Although Ginger Cloud's plan was excellent, unfortunately, when all the runes on the stone tablet were fully illuminated, Ginger Cloud had forgotten.

As all the runes lit up, the light emanated from them and drifted towards Jiang Yun. In an instant, it enveloped him completely.

Under the shroud of rune light, Jiang Yun only felt a surge in his mind and spirit. In that instant, there was a strange feeling, as if he himself had become this stone tablet!

Standing high above, looking out, my gaze was no longer fixed on the stone tablet before me, but on the seemingly endless mist surrounding it.

Although Jiang Yun was currently within the mist, he had no idea how extensive its coverage and area were.

Until this moment, looking down from above like one surveying the landscape from a high vantage point, he finally saw that the white mist was actually a perfect square ring.

And at the end of this white fog, there stood a huge stone tablet, covered with countless runes just like the one before.

Although Jiang Yun was very curious about what lay beyond the mist, this stone stele acted like a natural barrier, blocking his view. He had no choice but to give up on finding out and instead turned his gaze towards the white mist within.

In the mist, he saw a figure cautiously making its way forward. It was... Zhan Chou!

Under Jiang Yun's gaze, Zhan Chou was like an insignificant ant, not even worthy of Jiang Yun's interest. After a quick glance, Jiang Yun turned his attention to the areas he had passed through along the way.

And at the end of the white mist in the rear, Jiang Yun once again saw a giant stone tablet, just like the one before, blocking his view.

Although Gingercloud hadn't seen the stone stele when he arrived earlier, he knew that beyond it lay the desolate wasteland built by the Wild Tribes that he had just crossed.

It wasn't that there was a stone tablet within this white mist, but that every clan had placed a stone tablet in their prison. I just haven't encountered it yet.

This stele, of course, is the nine steles that stood on the altar of heaven and earth. It turns out they were spread apart at intervals.

A stone monument, just like a boundary.

Of course, where they divide, there are prisons.

Just when Jiang Yun wanted to retract his gaze, suddenly the countless runes on this stele standing between the barren land and white mist began to light up at an extremely fast pace.

And as the runes glowed, that shielding force weakened, allowing Jiang Yun's gaze to finally gradually see the wasteland.

After all the runes on the stele lit up, Jiang Yun finally saw the entire barren land clearly.

The wasteland was also square in shape, and at a certain point above the starting point of the wasteland, there stood a stone monument.

The runes on that stone tablet were also lighting up at an extremely fast rate.

Behind this stone stele, there was originally the place where the Samsara Tree grew.

But at this moment, when Jiang Yun looked back, he discovered that although he had taken away one reincarnation tree, there were still countless reincarnation trees standing in this area, forming a square ring just like before.

The reincarnation tree I took was a fake holy relic, and the rest were illusions conjured by the Reincarnation Clan using their supernatural powers.

In this way, as each stone tablet was lit, Jiang Yun's gaze drifted further and further, until he saw the void labyrinth that was also square and circular.

Even, he saw beyond the void, vaguely seeing the entirety of this nine-colored world.

"This Nine Realms, is a square world. And the seven clans' prisons, all in a circular manner, starting from the Void Labyrinth, outwards and inwards, marked by stone tablets, constantly pushing forward layer by layer."

The world of squares...

"He kept repeating those five words. Suddenly, Ginger Cloud's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, 'No, it's not a square world! This Nine-Colored Realm is actually a heavenly altar!'"

The Altar of Heaven was built to represent the concept of a circular sky and a square earth. The round stone tablet represents the sky, while the square platform represents the earth!

Therefore, the square circular areas and the stone steles erected in each area finally allowed Ginger Cloud to politely confirm—

The Nine-Colored Realm is actually the Heavenly Altar.

Of course, this made him even more certain of his previous guess. This earthly altar was the true holy relic counterfeit!

"The Ji clan is quite generous. Though their earthly altar is merely a fake, its power shouldn't be underestimated. They are willing to use it to set up this Nine Colored Realm!"

Realizing this, Ginger Cloud became even more curious. What was the purpose behind the Nine Tribes opening up this world of nine colors Was it truly just to imprison those incredibly powerful monsters

Now, out of the nine clans, eight have appeared besides the Yinling Beast Clan. And the Yinling Beast Clan might not appear at all, because this Nine-Colored Realm is located within the body of a beast itself.

"And this also means that, behind this white mist, should be the center of this Nine-Colored World. If I could see what's inside, perhaps I could find out the secrets of this place!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun’s gaze once again fell on the first stele he had just seen.

Just then, Jiang Yun's body trembled suddenly. An extreme feeling of weakness spread from within him, making his heart skip a beat. He finally realized that his life force was about to be completely depleted!
