But Lingji Zi was not as calm as he seemed on the surface. Because in his preconceived plan, there was no item to open the Candle Sky Secret Realm. Until now, he still didn't know why the Candle Sky Secret Realm opened, nor did he know when it would collapse. Therefore, he also didn't have the leisure to talk more with everyone, and just said: "Just watch them for now!"
He shook off the dust and fell from the sky. With the current strength of Jingtan Zong's cultivators, it would be easy to deal with these people. Now, the most important thing is to get the Candle Heaven Tears first, and then leave this place. Staying here, he always had a kind of inexplicable sense of danger.
This towering statue should be the appearance of Zhu Tian after he became human, as for his original form, even the Tianmo Wang who was in the same league as him didn't know. Lingji Zi looked up and down for a long time, but couldn't find any weakness to attack.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Destroy him first!"
"Bai Shanzi shouted: 'Master!' "
"Our time is limited, don't you feel that since the opening of the Candle Sky Secret Realm, the consumption rate of spiritual energy has increased by more than tenfold compared to usual? If this continues, who knows when it will close and trap us all inside!"
Bai Shanzi frowned and said, "However, the classics we found in the secret temple mentioned the name of Zhu Tian Lei, but did not record how to obtain it. It only said 'when the opportunity arises, everything will be easy' these eight words."
Lingji Zi hummed and said, "Since the opportunity has arrived, what is this opportunity? Whoever opened the Xuan Tian Secret Realm is naturally the destined person. This opportunity should fall to our Jingtan Sect. Anyway, we control the entrance to the secret realm, so it's no big deal if we exit first. Cast the spell!"
Seven people simultaneously responded, holding up the law instrument in their hands, and resonating with the seven giant pillars behind them. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth from the top of the giant pillar, and a beam of light as thick as a stone column condensed into a rope, which then flew over to the head of the giant statue.
In the blink of an eye, seven giant ropes tightly bound the statue. Lingji Zi shouted: "Take action!" The ropes then pulled in the same direction with force.
The power in the spiritual pulse had almost reached its peak at this moment, and the dazzling light made it difficult for Mo Zi Chen and others to open their eyes. However, they still forced themselves to gaze steadily ahead, wanting to see the extraordinary scene of the birth of such a divine object as Zhu Tian Lei.
A gigantic statue, almost a hundred feet tall, finally emitted a creaking sound under the pull of this boundless and immense force. However, it did not tilt in one direction; instead, the mottled marks on its surface began to fall off, and the entire statue radiated an eerie glow.
Just like this statue suddenly came to life.
This Candle Sky Temple, apart from this statue, was originally empty and desolate. At this time, with the movement of the statue, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a shadow flew up from under the ground.
These shadows fell to the ground, and when they met the wind, they grew longer. They also transformed into statues of various shapes, all human in form. Some wore armor and held weapons, while others wore monk's robes and grasped magical instruments.
Lingji Zi said in a low voice, "I've heard that the Sixth Heaven Demon King has 3,600 guardian attendants by his side. These should be them, right? These guardian attendants have been hiding here for years, and their original bodies can give birth to spirits. If they obtain Zhu Tian's tears, won't they be able to command them?"
Bai Shanzi lowered his head and said: "Senior brother! These are ancient demons from the Demon Realm. In today's world, where can you find so much spiritual energy to provide for them?"
Lingji Zi thought for a moment and shook his head: "I was overthinking. These guardian spirits are deeply hidden underground, have lost their spiritual nature, we don't need to bother with them, let's continue the spell!"
Seven giant ropes were still pulling the statue, which was slowly rising from the ground. Mo Zi Chen only then saw clearly that the statue was not entirely exposed on the outside, and under its feet, it was stepping on a black lotus pedestal divided into twelve petals.
The lotus pedestal slowly emerged from the ground, and everyone's eyes, including Lingji Zi, were wide with wonder.
In the center of the twelve-petaled lotus platform, there was a fist-sized, deep-colored gemstone hovering slowly in mid-air.
This pearl gives people an unspeakably mysterious and subtle feeling, it just floats quietly in the air, but it seems to be isolated in another space, clearly within reach, but no one can get it. The color of the pearl is deep and profound, and it's impossible to tell what color it is, only that all the light that falls on the pearl seems to be absorbed.
Everyone held their breath, watching as the lotus platform emerged from the ground. Once the lotus platform was fully exposed, the shadows of the 3,600 guardian warriors also seemed to come to life, making gestures of obeisance and worship.
Lingji Zi then took out an object from his bosom, which looked like a piece of iron, about the size of a spread-out paper. He held it up with his hand and slowly walked towards that lotus platform.
The shadows around him hastily retreated to both sides, automatically clearing a path for him.
Su Huan said in a low voice, "That thing should be the magical secret book that records something. They must have inadvertently obtained this book and learned about the secrets hidden deep within Lingjing Mountain."
Lian Cheng Jun snorted: "It's just their luck that such a deep treasure was hidden under their feet!"
Lingji Zi held up the secret book in his hand, bowed down to the ground before the lotus platform and said in a low voice: "Junior fellow disciple, willing to accept the order of the Heavenly Demon King, assist in saving all living beings, can you accept the decree?"
He said it three times, and the right hand of that statue suddenly rose high in the air, rumbling in its throat, as if saying something, but the people present couldn't understand a single word.
Ji Youfei said in a low voice: "This is an ancient magic door secret language, there are only a few people in the world who can understand it!"
Lingji Zi seemed to have not understood what he was saying either, but after a moment, his face lit up with joy, and he raised the secret book in his hand, shouting: "I obey your orders!"
After saying this, he wiped his forehead with a drop of yuanqi and essence blood, which fell on the secret book in his hand. Then, this iron piece flew up by itself and floated over to Lian Tai, swaying gently.
Everyone was silent, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were fixed on what was happening in front of them.
But outside the Lingjing Mountain, it was a scene of birds singing and flowers blooming. However, from time to time, the disciples of Jingtan Sect who were guarding the gate would appear, making this beautiful scenery somewhat awkward.
At this time, a short and stout old man emerged from the mountain forest, quietly and suddenly patted the back of the clean altar Zong brother in front of him. The brother was startled and turned his head to see an old man, and his heart was slightly relieved. "Who are you? How did you get in?"
