Free Web NovelChapter 1242: Chapter 1238:
Listening to the endless curses of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, Yun Ran was annoyed and began silently chanting the sealing spell.
If she didn’t show the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast some color, it wouldn’t understand the saying "A beast under the eaves has to lower its head."
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast watched as the sealing paper, which had already dissipated into the heavens and earth, started to regroup and immediately shut its mouth in fright.
Even the hand that was itching to stretch out was quickly withdrawn.
The sealing paper seemed to sense the beast’s submission and its fragments instantly floated in mid-air, becoming still.
"Phew~"
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast let out a sigh of relief, its eighteen eyes looking with a bit of fear at the other side of the door.
It truly hadn’t expected that this little kid from Qingfeng Temple would have such mature methods, leaving it with no chance at all!
After dealing with the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, Yun Ran’s gaze once again turned to those kneeling on the ground.
The discomfort in her heart wouldn’t let her just let them off like that.
"Before night falls, if any of you dare to make a move, none of you will survive!"
In the end, Yun Ran only made them kneel as punishment, not daring to make too big of a move in this Dream Realm.
If she really attracted the attention of the owner of this Dream Realm, born from obsession, she might actually lose her life here.
In this Dream Realm, the owner of the obsession is like a god, making it as easy to kill someone as crushing an ant.
The people kneeling on the ground originally thought they wouldn’t escape doom today. If not losing their lives, they’d at least lose a layer of skin.
Unexpectedly, it was only kneeling as punishment.
Everyone let out a breath of relief; luckily, it was just kneeling, which was an incredibly good piece of news for them.
The people who had been shivering with fear were no longer trembling and kneeled upright.
Yun Ran no longer concerned herself with them and went straight back to her room.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, seeing Yun Ran enter, immediately went over to move a chair for her, ingratiatingly.
"Young Master, please have a seat~"
Yun Ran: ...
She had only given the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast a warning, but didn’t expect it to become so servile.
"Weren’t you happily cursing just now? Now you’ve changed your tune."
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast just wanted to slap itself for its past actions. Why did it have to court death, and now it was being grabbed by the neck.
"I’ve just been sealed for too long, my mind got a little unclear. I have nine heads; it’s hard to turn quickly, which is normal, right.
By the way, you asked me some questions before; I can answer you now. Let’s just wipe the slate clean about past things, okay?"
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast appeared to be submitting but was actually negotiating conditions with Yun Ran.
Yun Ran calmly sat down, naturally noticing the wounds on its arm from the Thunder Split Flower.
"First, let’s see if what you say is useful to me. If not, you’d better get back to the sealing paper soon and stop getting in my way." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast almost couldn’t contain its temper; the people from Qingfeng Temple were indeed equally annoying, always threatening!
"We are on the same side; I will tell you everything I know!"
Then, Yun Ran heard a secret technique from the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast that made her somewhat frightened.
Apparently, the pillar of light that soared into the sky shared the same origin with the Immortal Ascension Channel she had seen in Yinghua Country.
The only difference is that for ordinary people approaching it means sacrifice; only those with a certain level of cultivation can approach the Immortal Ascension Channel.
"This is what my elders told me; this was a very popular method in ancient times, the more lives sacrificed, the more feedback received.
As for why this method isn’t noticed or punished by the Heavenly Dao, I’m not sure, maybe it’s a loophole."
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast’s clan had long vanished in the river of history, its physical body was eradicated, and as to why its Divine Soul still lived, it itself didn’t know.
Saying this, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast also sighed. If its strength hadn’t decreased significantly, it wouldn’t have been sealed by the people of Qingfeng Temple.
"The reason we who were sealed reacted is because the light spots were after all emitted from the Immortal Ascension Channel, having a devouring effect on us surviving Divine Souls."
What the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast didn’t say is that if its surviving Divine Souls were used for sacrifice, the Immortal Ascension Channel would become extraordinarily solid.
Even ordinary people might ascend on the spot, receiving a large amount of energy feedback.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast knew the people from Qingfeng Temple wouldn’t do such a thing, as they had ’voluntarily’ agreed to be sealed back then.
They knew well that the people from Qingfeng Temple had prohibitions on them.
But some secrets must remain unspoken to control risk.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast felt it had said all it could and stood a bit away from Yun Ran.
Yun Ran quietly digested this information, putting together things she couldn’t understand before.
The Black Robed People possessing such a secret technique, it’s no wonder there were so many abandoned altars.
It’s not that they didn’t want to continue using such secret techniques, but that later societies were more civilized and developed, losing a single person was a big deal.
To sacrifice more lives to open the Immortal Ascension Channel was a delusion in a future with developed networks and human rights supremely valued.
Not to mention, not just any captured person would work for the sacrifice.
Thinking about her amazing blood, Yun Ran’s expression became complicated.
Not knowing if she should be thankful or speechless.
Especially when considering her biological father, who apparently had no one left in his entire family except the two of them.
Especially her biological father, seeming to have an irreconcilable hatred with the Black Robed People, now everything seemed clear.
No wonder he knew the original ’host’ didn’t have a good time with the Yun Family yet never planned to look for her.
Never thought of bringing her to his side, until she displayed amazing techniques from the Xuan Sect did he make an appearance.
Thinking, this was to keep the original host from appearing in the sights of those Black Robed People.
With the means of the Black Robed People, finding a suitable sacrifice like the original host shouldn’t be difficult, but the original host was unfortunate enough to have had their Life Chart swapped.
By a fortunate mistake, it kept the original host from being discovered by those Black Robed People.
Although Yun Ran’s face was completely covered at this moment, leaving only her eyes exposed.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast could still sense Yun Ran’s aura becoming somewhat frightening, causing it to further shrink its body, not wanting to get involved.
