Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan nodded, he could understand the meaning of the great elder's words.

A race like the Tianli tribe, which fights with wind beasts almost every day, has been passed down from generation to generation, and there must be countless heroic tribesmen.

But what they need more is spiritual support to continuously inspire future generations, rather than letting future generations only see the tragic side of their ancestors.

The speed of the two seemed to be slow but also urgent. Soon, a wide square appeared in front of Li Yan and the others.

Along the way, Li Yan made a rough estimate and found that there were tens of thousands of statues, which was so numerous that it was chilling.

Looking at both sides, they are densely packed, like neat tombstones, standing in endless years.

The square can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are huge stone pillars erected around it. Three or four strong men cannot hug these stone pillars. Each stone pillar is more than thirty feet high, and the top of it seems to be pressing a disk. .

On the other side of the square facing the stone path where Li Yan and the Great Elder came, there was a huge creature crouching there. It was a statue that existed like a mountain. It was so big that even Li Yan felt a sense of oppression. .

It was a thing that looked like a ferocious tiger, with a body like a bullfight, sharp hair, a pair of evil wings on its back, and a huge mouth and fangs. It was Qiongqi, one of the four unique ferocious beasts.

"This is the outskirts of the ancestral land, and it will only be opened when something important happens in the clan. Just like the last heavenly sacrifice held for the second elder was held here, but those clan members can only go here. ”

Li Yan also understood the meaning of the great elder's words. This kind of ethnic group must have cohesion and a belief. Therefore, no matter how sacred the ancestral land is, it needs to be felt by the tribe.

There are tens of thousands of statues like this, which allow the tribesmen who can enter the ancestral land to feel the spirit of their ancestors, giving them a greater sense of identity and cohesion.

But the ancestral land is not accessible to people at will, otherwise it would lose its sense of mystery and respect.

Especially people like Gong Chenying, because after leaving the clan since childhood, they have only entered once during the last heavenly sacrifice.

The clansmen who can enter here will be proud of it, even the pride and honor of his clan.

The great elder only introduced him casually, because it would be difficult for Li Yan to come here again in the future, so he just needed to let him have an understanding.

While he was speaking, his feet kept moving and he walked directly towards the huge Qiongqi building opposite.

"This statue of the sacred beast was carved by the first generation of high priests. At that time, the second generation of high priests had already appeared in the clan.

The first generation of great priests had been in seclusion for 1,600 years. Suddenly they had a sudden enlightenment and carved this statue of the sacred beast, and then ascended away. "

"Oh? What level of cultivation had she reached at that time?"

Li Yan also knew some information about the first generation of high priests, such as the migration to this place, which was her generous move, but he didn't know much about it, so he still asked curiously.

"I don't know. The first-generation high priest had already reached the state of transformation, but he tried his best to suppress his own state. Because she was the first-generation, her responsibilities were greater and heavier, so she had been waiting for the second-generation. Appear.

\u003c/di\u003e

And when the second generation appeared, she did not choose to ascend immediately, but entered the ancestral land that she had created herself.

After Gong Shen was created, he finished carving the statue of the sacred beast and left a jade slip for the second-generation high priest. He drifted away without even meeting anyone. "

The great elder shook his head.

Every generation of high priests and elders of their Tianli tribe lived a very hard life, waiting for the subsequent strong men to appear before they could ascend with confidence.

Otherwise, they would rather suppress their cultivation and block their own path to immortality, and they would remain in the lower realm. This is also the difference between an ethnic group and a sect.

In the ethnic group, there are often more people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, because they have the same blood in their blood. They have been proud of the entire ethnic group since they were young, and are proud of it.

As the two approached, Li Yan kept looking forward, looking at the huge statue of the sacred beast.

At some point, Li Yan didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the statue of the holy beast in front of him seemed to have entered a fog.

I have been getting closer, but I feel like I am far away and then close, and I can't grasp the direction.

The Great Elder had been observing Li Yan's reaction at this time. He did not tell Li Yan that those Tianli people who entered the ancestral land were not allowed to look directly at the statue of the sacred beast like this.

They would keep their bodies bowed devoutly, and from beginning to end, they would only pray silently in their hearts without daring to raise their heads. Similarly, those people were not allowed to walk through half of the square.

Because once there, if someone peeks at the statue, not even the Great Elder can save them, and their minds will be lost in an instant.

It was like his soul was sucked away by a holy beast, and he became stupid and nirvana, or even died on the spot.

Only when they have practiced the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" to the sixth level, or have practiced other techniques to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, can they gaze at the statue of the holy beast.

Normally, the Tianli people would only cross half of the square when they pass on and practice the seventh-level skills. At this time, Li Yan and the great elder had already passed half of the square.

Gradually, in Li Yan's eyes, the statue seemed to be alive. It was half squatting and half sitting, but it suddenly stood up, and a long-lasting barbaric aura suddenly rose into the sky.

The red hair on his body was burning like fire, and a pair of fierce eyes seemed to be overwhelmingly pressing towards Li Yan with a powerful pressure from the sky.

Li Yan couldn't help but pause slightly, and at this moment, in his dark eyes, the figure of a giant beast covered with one claw was reflected...

Li Yan only felt that his body was unable to move at all in an instant. Only the huge claw that could cover the sky and the sun was left in his eyes, and it slapped hard towards his head...

The boundless life and death crisis suddenly arose in Li Yan's heart. The scene around the square in front of him had completely disappeared, and even the great elder had disappeared.

Between heaven and earth, there is only that

With the power of a claw, huge cracks were torn out in the dim world here in an instant. Li Yan felt that he was not as small as an ant.

However, no matter how he activated his magic power, his body could not move at the moment.

"I am already a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. I feel that I should have the power to escape even when facing a god-incarnation monk. But why now, I don't even have the power to resist..."

Li Yan was very anxious, but before he could finish thinking, the claw slapped his head with a roar with the power of heaven and earth.

There was an unbearable pain in Li Yan's head, and he wanted to yell.

A large area of ​​bright red appeared in front of him, blocking his sight. There was an indescribable and boundless pain in his soul, flesh, and bones.

"wrong?"

At the moment when this heartbreaking pain spread throughout his entire sea of ​​consciousness, the golden Nascent Soul villain in Li Yan suddenly stood up.

Five-colored brilliance burst out instantly in his limbs and eyes, and Li Yan's mind immediately became a little clearer. At the same time, the five-colored brilliance flowed to his limbs and bones, and a sense of coolness filled Li Yan's body in an instant.

Everything in front of him disappeared, and the severe pain that penetrated his soul also mysteriously disappeared together.

In front of him, there was still the huge statue of the holy beast, half-crouching in the same position as before, as if everything just now had never happened before.

"The pressure is so overwhelming!"

There was a sparkle in Li Yan's eyes. The high-level monks were demonstrating against the low-level monks, or even killing them. They might not even need to take action. Just a look or a breath could make them comatose or die. This is coercion.

Of course, Li Yan can also use it, and when he was weak, he also felt the pressure that was stronger than him time and time again, but it only made him feel fear, or the symptoms of surging Qi and blood.

But the coercion on the statue of the holy beast in front of him made him hallucinate. This was absolute suppression in terms of strength. Even if Li Yan had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, there was still a huge gap between the two.

"What kind of state did the first-generation high priest reach when carving this statue? He actually left some power of rules in this statue that goes beyond the Nascent Soul state."

Li Yan was truly shocked this time. He thought that after he reached the late Nascent Soul stage, there wouldn't be much in this world for him to worry about. Unexpectedly, he encountered this situation soon.

But Li Yan could also guess that this statue of the holy beast could not really get up and attack people. It was just that the person who carved it was too high, which gave the statue some power of rules.

This should be a power of rules that only the four ferocious beasts can master.

From the perspective of the great elder on one side, what Li Yan had just experienced was that he just slowed down his steps gradually, then paused and stood there, his eyes still staring ahead.

But in just a little more than a breath, Li Yan returned to normal. His eyes were clear, but he no longer stared at the statue of the sacred beast in front of him.

\u003c/di\u003e

, but turned to look at him.

"Prince Yan has superb cultivation, and I admire him. This is not because I don't want to tell you, but even if I don't let you see it, it will probably only make you more curious.

But as long as you don't fall under the pressure for more than ten breaths, there is no problem. If it exceeds ten breaths, your sanity may be affected. "

The great elder laughed.

Li Yan also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What the other party said is true, especially now that I have reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. If the great elder did not let me look at the statue of the holy beast, I would probably be even more curious.

"Let's go over, but this time, Prince Yan really doesn't want to stare at the statue of the holy beast. Not only does it contain a trace of the power of the rules of the strange holy beast, but it also has a lot of faith power from the people of our tribe.

Especially as they continue to get closer, the power of the two will only get stronger and stronger. Although Prince Yan has great cultivation, it is better not to try. After all, he is here just to pass on the skills, hahaha! "

"Great Elder, thank you very much!"

Li Yan suddenly spoke and said something like this.

Although the great elder's words were so polite, Li Yan understood what the great elder really meant.

He is a veteran late-stage Nascent Soul monk, and he has a deep understanding of the mental state of late-stage great monks.

The Great Elder knew that he had just entered the late Nascent Soul stage, so he must have felt that he had few opponents in this world.

The situation is really like this. Even with Li Yan's always cautious character, after being promoted to this level of cultivation so smoothly, it is inevitable that he will have the mentality of being the best and looking at the small things in the mountains.

So the opponent conveniently borrowed the pressure of the Tianli tribe's ancestral land, which could suppress the great monks in the late Nascent Soul, to deliberately make Li Yan feel the approaching death again.

This is to remind myself that there is no limit to art, and you should never be contemptuous at any time.

"Hehehe, okay, let's go in!"

The great elder just laughed and stopped entangled in this matter. Li Yanneng understood his painstaking efforts in an instant, and he was also greatly relieved.

Talking to smart people is a very pleasant thing in itself.

As he finished speaking, the crutch he held every day appeared in his hand, and he tapped it lightly towards the base of the sacred beast statue in front of him.

Suddenly, a slightly red door appeared in the void in front of him and Li Yan.

The great elder had already taken one step forward and came to the door. He stretched out his hand to push, turned back and smiled at Li Yan, and then stepped in first.

Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that he was still nearly half the distance from the statue in front of him, but he was still in the square.

"It turns out that here, he can open the inner passage to the real ancestral land at any time, and he also deliberately let me come here..."

As thoughts arose in his mind, Li Yan followed closely. The moment he stepped in, the red door also disappeared.
