Everyone hurriedly looked inside, but the dense life energy made it impossible for them to see clearly; they could only see the green surface of the lake.
"Pata"
Then, Old Ancestor Zhou walked up from the other end of a covered bridge that disappeared into the lake, his face beaming with joy. Before long, Old Ancestor Zhou returned to the same spot.
Whoosh! The treasure flew towards Ancestor Zhou in an instant, and then disappeared into his body.
"Ahem!" Ye Qingxian had already turned her head away, and now she coughed twice.
"Cough cough!" Someone coughed again.
"Cough cough!"
"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all coughing? It's making me want to cough too. Cough cough! Haha!" Old Master Zhou actually coughed a couple of times.
"Ancestor, you're not wearing any clothes." Zhou He couldn't help but send a telepathic message to his ancestor.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Zhou's expression changed drastically. A flash of white light appeared on his body, and a robe made of divine power covered him.
"Ahem! This resurrection altar is real. I risked my life to try it. Now, you can try it too. After an hour, begin to systematically integrate your essence blood."
Zhou Laozu took out another drop of essence blood. After seeing it merge into the statue, he knelt down and offered a prayer. Without saying a word, he hurriedly left.
I have no choice but to leave. I've really lost face today. Tomorrow, the entire Imperial Pass will probably know that I was a naked ancestor.
The other supreme beings ignored them, and one by one they rushed to merge their essence and blood into the divine statue, and then said, "Quick, come and kill me."
"Kill me first."
"I'll kill you first."
Everyone remained silent.
"How interesting." Ye Qingxian smiled happily, then turned and left, without merging her essence blood into the statue.
Finally, these supreme realm experts discussed among themselves, then each of them died completely, tried it once, and emerged from the Lake of Life unharmed.
Having learned from Zhou Laozu's example, they all became wiser and conjured up a set of clothes on their bodies right there in the lake.
"You wait and slowly have them begin to infuse their essence and blood into the statue." The Supreme Beings instructed their clansmen or disciples, then respectfully worshipped the statue before departing.
Subsequently, the army of cultivators began to systematically infuse their essence and blood into the statue, and like the Supreme Sect, they all worshipped the statue.
After all, even the strongest sect in their Imperial Pass worships the statue of the god, so of course they had to follow suit. They weren't angry at all; on the contrary, they were extremely happy.
This resurrection altar, unless they die of old age, cannot be killed by anyone, so how could they not be happy? They are willing to worship it.
Of course, the resurrection altar cannot resurrect them without damage; the lost essence and blood will not be restored.
One or two drops are fine, but if you lose a lot, and you don't want your combat power to decrease, you have to replenish your essence and blood before going back to the battlefield.
Otherwise, it would just be suicide. This could be considered a resurrection cooldown!
"Found it. This old town is really hard to find."
A city stood there, desolate and lonely, its battle-hardened history palpable even from afar. A figure appeared on the city wall, enveloped in a radiant light, making him impossible to discern.
This, of course, could not conceal Lin Qing. Inside the ball of light was an old man who was severely injured, his blood and qi extremely depleted, and his body was being eroded by dark matter.
Even so, he still persevered.
"Your strength must have reached the level of a True Immortal. May I ask which one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths you are?" Shi Wen's aged voice rang out.
Shi Wen had never heard of Lin Qing, nor did he believe that Lin Qing came from another region, because of the existence of Tianyuan.
“I’ve already said that,” Lin Qing said calmly.

"May I ask what brings you here, sir?" Shi Wen asked.
Lin Qing smiled and said, "You are from the Stone Clan, right? I've come here to take you away from here."
“We will not leave. We still need to guard this place. If you are not from another land, then please leave!” Shi Wen refused directly.
Some unknown guy wanted to take them away, and besides, they were in a fortress like this; no one with a brain would agree to that.
The people on the city wall were looking at Lin Qing with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
"You will come with me." Lin Qing smiled.
"If you have nothing else to say, please leave. Otherwise, we will have to treat you as an enemy." They never show mercy to their enemies.
Lin Qing said, "You sent out some of the Stone Clan members, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wen's heart skipped a beat. He remained silent, but his tightly clenched hands betrayed his inner turmoil.
“One of your branches went to the Sinful State, one of the three thousand states in the region, and established the Stone Kingdom, which was later destroyed by several sects of Sword Valley.”
"Only some small villages remain, and below the Three Thousand Provinces lies the Lower Realm, divided into eight domains, including the Desolate Domain, where there is a Stone Kingdom, inhabited by the Stone Clan."
"And I am the sacrificial spirit of the ancestral village of the Stone Kingdom, and..." Lin Qing explained his origins. He also recounted the shameful bloodshed of the Stone Clan and its origins.
"What? Impossible! My Stone Clan has fought for countless years to protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with generation after generation falling here. How could this be? How could this be?"
Before Shi Wen could speak, the one-armed old man spoke first, his face full of disbelief, and the others also raised their voices of doubt.
"I see. That's right. When we cut off the head of our Supreme Being on the chariot, it must have been seen by the other Supreme Beings." Shi Wen immediately understood the reason.
The Seven Kings of the Borderlands were all Immortal Kings. Seven Immortal Kings from one family, although they all died in battle, the Stone Clan was once extremely glorious.
In the primordial era (when the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete, making it impossible to become a true immortal), the Stone Clan produced seven supreme beings, who were crowned with the title of the number one royal family in the upper realm, and all races under heaven bowed down to them.
When the time came to fulfill the ancient covenant, the seven supreme beings did not shirk their responsibilities. They inherited the spirit of the seven stone kings, vowing to protect their people and safeguard all living beings. They resolutely entered the borderlands, charging to the forefront.
However, according to Chen Dong, the Shi Hao clan was wronged after other supreme beings discovered on the battlefield that they had severed the heads of their allies' supreme beings.
Ancestor Shi Hao severed the head of an ally upon discovering that the ally had fallen into demonic possession. However, others were unaware of this and thus cursed his descendants as sinful blood.
The royal patriarch, having fled back, saw that the seven supreme beings had not returned from the borderlands after a considerable period of time. He then harbored malicious intentions, wanting to divide up the Stone Clan's rich resources while preserving their own dignity.
They fabricated lies, slandered the Stone Clan, blamed the Stone Clan for the heavy casualties, declared the Stone Clan a sinful race, and falsely claimed that the victory was their doing.
After dividing up the Stone Clan's resources, they dared not exterminate them, fearing that the Stone Clan's supreme ruler might return one day.
At the same time, they were also afraid that the Stone Clan's amazing potential would create seven supreme beings.
So they gathered the Stone Clan people on one continent, which they called the Continent of Sin. They constantly oppressed and exploited the descendants of the Stone Clan, preventing them from growing up.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we won't go back. They still need us here," Shi Wen said.
He wasn't stupid. If just anyone came and claimed to be the spirit of their descendant village, they wouldn't leave no matter what.
"It seems you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter, because this city is nothing to me." As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, they found that Lin Qing had disappeared without a trace.
"I'm here." Behind Shi Wen, Lin Qing was smiling at him.
"What? Impossible! How could you enter so silently? Even if an immortal came, it would be impossible to do so." Shi Wen immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
The other Stone Clan members were also covered in flashing runes, seemingly preparing for a desperate battle.
"You're right. Even an immortal couldn't enter silently. I never said I was a true immortal," Lin Qing said with a smile.
"An immortal king? A celestial king?" Shi Wen trembled, incredulous.
“That’s right, I won’t waste any more words. I’ve just built something great in the Imperial City, and I believe you’ll be very happy when you go there.”
Lin Qing flicked his sleeve, and a dark light instantly enveloped all the Stone Clan members in the entire city.
"No, no! If we leave, no one will guard this place, and Tianyuan will lose its power, allowing the Immortal King of the alien realm to launch a full-scale attack." Shi Wen tried to stop Lin Qing.
"Don't worry, I will leave a spiritual body here, and I will maintain the power of Tianyuan."
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone was captured by Lin Qing using his "Hidden Universe in Sleeves" technique. At the same time, there were also numerous corpses of exotic beasts.
Although there were ominous substances inside, Lin Qing believed that his Three Flavors Divine Flame could burn them away completely.
The moment the large number of alien corpses disappeared, the runic array outside the city dimmed. Without the support of this energy, the runic array weakened.
roar!
A roar came from the endless starry sky.
Several colossal beasts, comparable in size to an ancient city, flew in from the depths of the starry sky.
The supreme being from another realm, upon seeing the problem with the rune array, immediately prepared to test it.
"I've never tasted the flesh of a Supreme Being before, perfect timing, haha!"
Lin Qing didn't rush to subdue the giant beasts. He muttered a few words and separated a spiritual body from them.
Lin Qing nodded to the spirit body, which nodded in response, and then flew to the place where Shi Wen had been staying for many years to provide its own power.
As soon as the power of the spirit body surged in, the rune array outside the ancient city was instantly filled with energy, which greatly enhanced the power of the array.
"Oh no, this is a trap! Luckily I'm slow, or I would have fallen for it." Seeing how powerful the rune array was, the giant beast immediately turned around and tried to escape.
At the same time, in order not to attract attention, they quickly dispelled the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth, which instantly shrank to tens of thousands of feet in size, which is the size of their true form.
"Still trying to run?" Lin Qing sneered. After settling his spirit, he flashed and appeared on the head of a giant beast.
“Not bad, a full 30,000 zhang.” Lin Qing murmured.
Whoosh!
Lin Qing didn't make a move. The heads of the three supreme beasts were directly separated from their bodies, and a large amount of precious blood was sprinkled into the depths of the starry sky.
"Collect!" Lin Qing flicked his sleeve and collected all three giant beasts, while storing their essence blood in his storage space.
Chapter 608 My Precious Eight-Treasure Carp (Seeking recommendations and monthly tickets)
Inside the borderland imperial city.
The establishment of the resurrection altar caused a stir among the cultivators throughout the imperial city.
In just one day, the essence and blood of tens of millions of cultivators in the imperial city had all been integrated into the divine statue.
Because after they infused their essence and blood, a mark would appear on their souls, which some people called the mark of resurrection.
