Chapter 5:The Remaining Pages of the Sutra Library

  The Sutra Library of Lingxian Academy is like an ancient and mysterious giant beast, quietly occupying the core area of ??the academy. It has seven floors, and is built entirely of simple black boulders, exuding a heavy atmosphere. Various strange runes and mythical beast patterns are carved on the eaves and brackets. Under the sunlight, they flicker with a faint light, as if telling a long history. The doors and windows of each floor are made of precious spiritual wood, inlaid with crystal clear spiritual crystals. These spiritual crystals not only serve as decoration, but also contain powerful defensive arrays to protect the precious books in the Sutra Library.

  Duan Litang has been thinking about the clues about the ancient runes and the secrets of his life since he learned that the Sutra Library might contain clues about the ancient runes and his life experience. Today, he finally found the opportunity and stepped into this mysterious building with the token of the outer disciple of Lingxian Academy. As soon as he entered the Sutra Library, a strong smell of books and old breath hit him, which refreshed his spirit. The light in the pavilion was soft, and it was illuminated by the spiritual crystals suspended in the air. These spiritual crystals emitted warm light, illuminating the rows of tall bookshelves, which were filled with various jade slips, ancient books and scrolls.

  Duan Litang walked up the wooden staircase, exploring floor by floor. The books on each floor were arranged according to different categories, ranging from basic cultivation techniques and martial arts secrets to various anecdotes and geographical records. As he walked, he carefully observed the labels of each book, hoping to find clues related to his life experience or blood contract. However, after a careful search, he did not find what he wanted in the first six floors.

  "Could the clue be on the top floor of the forbidden pavilion?" Duan Litang thought to himself. He knew that the top floor of the forbidden pavilion of the Sutra Library contained the most precious and dangerous books in the academy, and disciples were not allowed to enter without the permission of the elders. But at this moment, his strong curiosity and desire to explore his life experience drove him to decide to take a risk.

  He walked cautiously towards the stairs leading to the top floor. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he felt a strong restraining force coming at him, which made his steps stagnate. Duan Litang took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and circulated the spiritual power in his body to try to resist the restraint. He held the blood-colored pendant tightly in his hand. Under the stimulation of his spiritual power, the pendant heated up slightly and emitted a faint blood light, as if it was resonating with the restraining force. With the help of the pendant, Duan Litang walked up step by step with difficulty. Every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength.

  Finally, he arrived at the door on the top floor of the Forbidden Pavilion. The door was made of a huge piece of black iron, engraved with complex runes. These runes flashed with a faint blue light and emitted powerful energy fluctuations. Duan Litang reached out and gently touched the runes on the door, silently praying in his heart that he could find a way to enter. At this moment, the pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a strong blood light, which intertwined with the runes on the door, making a buzzing sound. Then, the light of the runes on the door gradually weakened, and finally disappeared, and the door slowly opened.

  Duan Litang was delighted, and he walked carefully into the top floor of the forbidden pavilion. The space on the top floor was not large, but the books on the bookshelves around were obviously more precious than those on the lower floors. Some of these books emitted a soft light, while others emitted waves, which seemed to contain powerful power. Duan Litang's eyes quickly scanned the bookshelves, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on a bookshelf in a corner. On the top of the bookshelf, an ancient book emitting a dark red light attracted his attention.

  He walked over quickly and reached out to pick up the ancient book. The ancient book was heavy in his hand, and there were four ancient characters engraved on the cover - Nine Chapters of Blood Contract. Duan Litang was excited, and he knew that he might have found the key clue. He carefully opened the ancient book and found that the pages inside were incomplete, with only a few pages still preserved. Moreover, on one of the pages, there was a stain of dried blood, which looked particularly strange.

  Duan Litang suppressed his excitement and read the contents of the torn page carefully. It was recorded: "The blood covenant bearer bears the mission of the myriad worlds. He needs to collect the purest blood of the three worlds to awaken the power of the blood covenant and seal the chaos." His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. "The purest blood of the three worlds", what does this mean? Could it be related to Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang? The figures of the three heroines emerged involuntarily in his mind.

  While he was immersed in his thoughts, his fingers accidentally touched the bloody pages. Instantly, a powerful force enveloped him, and the scene in front of him changed instantly. He found himself on a desolate battlefield, with dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder. Su Xueli held the Lingxian Sword, her eyes were cold, and the tip of the sword was facing his heart. Behind him, Ling Xian'er rushed over without hesitation and blocked Su Xueli's sword with her body. Tang Xiaotang was in the distance, crying out his name with tears.

  "No!" Duan Litang screamed in pain, trying to stop it from happening, but found himself unable to move. He watched Su Xueli's sword pierce Ling Xian'er's body, blood splattered, staining Ling Xian'er's white clothes red. Tang Xiaotang's crying echoed in his ears, making his heart seem to be torn apart.

  "Why? Why is this happening?" Duan Litang asked loudly, his voice echoing in the desolate battlefield. However, no one answered his question. The figures of Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang in the illusion gradually blurred and finally disappeared.

  Duan Litang suddenly came to his senses and found himself still on the top floor of the forbidden pavilion of the Sutra Library. His forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing was rapid. The illusion just now had a great impact on his heart. He didn't understand why he saw such an illusion. Was it a sign of the future or just an illusion?

  He looked at the remaining pages of the Nine Chapters of the Blood Contract in his hand again, hoping to find some explanation. At this moment, he found half a fingerprint on the edge of the remaining page. The fingerprint was light green and exuded a faint spirit aura, which was very similar to the aura of Tang Xiaotang. Duan Litang was shocked. He carefully compared the fingerprint on the remaining page with the shape of Tang Xiaotang's fingers in his memory and found that they were exactly the same.

  "Could this fragment be related to Tang Xiaotang? What role do the spirits play in the mystery of the blood pact?" Duan Litang was full of doubts. He knew that he seemed to have touched the edge of a huge secret, but there were still many key clues that he had not sorted out.

  He carefully put the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood contract into his arms and decided to find Tang Xiaotang to ask for clarification. However, just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly felt a strong breath coming from behind him. He was startled and turned around quickly, only to see an old man in a black robe standing behind him. The old man had a stern face and a majestic look in his eyes. He exuded a strong spiritual power fluctuation, and was obviously a powerful man with great strength.

  "Who are you? Why did you break into the top floor of the Forbidden Pavilion without permission?" The old man's voice was low and cold, echoing on the top floor of the Forbidden Pavilion.

  Duan Litang thought to himself that it was not good, he knew that he had been discovered for trespassing into the top floor of the forbidden pavilion. But at this moment, he could not retreat, he took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Senior, I am Duan Litang, an outer disciple. I was trying to find the mystery of my life experience, and I accidentally found that the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood contract might be related to this, so I took the risk to break in. I hope that senior will forgive me." As he said, he took out the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood contract from his arms and handed them to the old man.

  The old man took the fragment and examined it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious. "I didn't expect the Nine Chapters of the Blood Covenant to appear here. It seems that the situation in the Ten Thousand Worlds is about to be stirred up again." The old man muttered to himself.

  Duan Litang looked at the old man, his heart full of doubts: "Senior, do you know the secret of the Nine Chapters of the Blood Contract? Please tell me."

  The old man looked at Duan Litang, was silent for a moment, and said: "The nine chapters of the blood covenant are related to the fate of all realms. In the past, after the ancient god war, in order to seal the power of chaos, the ancient gods used their own blood essence to create the blood covenant. And this blood covenant was divided into nine parts, which were hidden in various realms. Gathering all nine blood covenants can awaken the power of the blood covenant and seal chaos again. But the power of the blood covenant is too strong. Once it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, the secret of the blood covenant has been strictly sealed."

  Duan Litang listened attentively. He had never expected that there was such a shocking secret hidden behind this blood contract. "Then, senior, what does this 'the one who makes the blood contract needs to collect the purest blood from the three realms' mean?" He couldn't help but ask.

  The old man frowned slightly and said, "The purest blood of the three realms refers to the blood of the immortal spirits in the fairy realm, the blood of the devil spirits in the devil realm, and the blood of the spirit spirits in the spirit realm. Only by gathering these three kinds of pure blood can the power of the blood contract be truly awakened. However, these three kinds of pure blood are extremely rare, and those who possess these three bloodlines often have special missions."

  Duan Litang's mind moved, and he thought of Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang. Su Xueli was from the Immortal Realm, Ling Xian'er was from the Demon Realm, and Tang Xiaotang was from the Spirit Realm. Could they be the ones who possessed the purest blood of the three realms? But he recalled the scene in the illusion just now where Su Xueli stabbed him, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

  "Senior, do you know what the spirit fingerprints on the edge of this torn page mean?" Duan Litang asked again.

  The old man looked at the fingerprints on the edge of the torn page, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This fingerprint was indeed left by a person from the Elven Clan. It seems that the Elven Clan also has a secret that cannot be revealed in this mystery of the blood covenant. However, I don't know the specific situation. If you want to know, maybe you can ask the Elven Clan."

  Duan Litang nodded, and secretly made up his mind to find out everything. "Thank you for telling me. I will leave now, and I will never enter the top floor of the forbidden pavilion without permission again." As he said this, he bowed to the old man.

  The old man nodded slightly: "You can go. Remember, the matter of the blood contract is of great importance and must not be easily revealed to others. Otherwise, it will surely lead to a fatal disaster."

  Duan Litang thanked him again, then turned around and left the top floor of the forbidden pavilion. He walked down the stairs and slowly went down to the Sutra Library. Along the way, the old man's words and the images in the illusion just now kept echoing in his mind. He knew that he had been involved in a huge storm, and this storm would affect the fate of the entire world.

  After leaving the Sutra Library, Duan Litang went straight to Tang Xiaotang's dormitory. He wanted to find Tang Xiaotang as soon as possible and ask about the relationship between the spirit race and the blood covenant. When he arrived at Tang Xiaotang's dormitory, he found that Tang Xiaotang was not there. He asked the disciples around him and learned that Tang Xiaotang went to practice near Lingxian Lake.

  Duan Litang rushed to Lingxian Lake without stopping. Lingxian Lake was still as beautiful as usual, with clear water and sparkling waves. Willows were swaying by the lake, and the breeze blew through them, making the willow branches dance. However, Duan Litang had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at this moment. He was looking for Tang Xiaotang near Lingxian Lake, and finally, in a quiet corner, he saw Tang Xiaotang.

  Tang Xiaotang was sitting on a rock, holding a butterfly arrow in her hand, practicing attentively. Beside her, several butterflies were dancing around her, emitting colorful light. Duan Litang walked up and whispered, "Tang Xiaotang."

  Tang Xiaotang heard the voice, looked up, and saw that it was Duan Litang. A bright smile immediately appeared on his face: "Duan Litang, why are you here?"

  Duan Litang walked over to Tang Xiaotang and sat down next to her. His face was a little serious. He looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "Tang Xiaotang, I have something to ask you."

  Tang Xiaotang looked at Duan Litang's serious expression and couldn't help but feel confused: "What's the matter? You are so serious."

  Duan Litang took out the remaining pages of the Nine Chapters of the Blood Contract from his bosom, pointed at the fingerprints on the edge of the pages, and said, "Tang Xiaotang, look at this fingerprint, isn't it exactly the same as yours? Do you know what's going on?"

  Tang Xiaotang took the fragment and looked at the fingerprint carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This. This is indeed very similar to my fingerprint. But I don't know what's going on. I have never seen this ancient book before."

  Duan Litang looked at Tang Xiaotang's expression, and it didn't seem like she was lying. He was even more confused: "Have you ever heard the elders of the Spirit Clan mention anything about the Blood Covenant? Or, does the Spirit Clan have any special mission related to the Blood Covenant?"

  Tang Xiaotang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I seem to have heard grandma say that the spirits are guarding something very important, which is related to the balance of the universe. But she didn't say what it is. Could it be related to the blood contract?"

  Duan Litang's heart moved, and he felt that he seemed to have grasped some key clues. "Tang Xiaotang, can you take me to the Spirit Tribe? I want to ask the elders of the Spirit Tribe in person."

  Tang Xiaotang looked at Duan Litang's determined eyes and nodded: "Okay, anyway, I also want to know what secrets the spirit race is hiding. Wait for me to pack up, and we will set off tomorrow."

  Duan Litang nodded, his heart full of anticipation. He knew that going to the Spirit Tribe might reveal more secrets about the blood pact.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  That night, Duan Litang returned to his dormitory and lay on the bed, but he tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. The words on the torn page, the strange illusions and the fingerprints of the Eldar kept appearing in his mind. Every detail hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him full of anticipation and faint worry about going to the Eldar to find the truth. Outside the window, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the mottled leaves, like a broken silver mirror, just like his chaotic thoughts at the moment.

  On the second morning, just after dawn, Duan Litang got up early, packed his bag, and came to the place where he had agreed to meet Tang Xiaotang, carrying the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood covenant. Tang Xiaotang had been waiting there for a long time. She was wearing a light and comfortable spirit tribe outfit, with a quiver full of spirit butterfly arrows hanging around her waist, and her hair tied up high, looking particularly energetic. When she saw Duan Litang coming, she immediately jumped up to greet him.

  "Duan Litang, you are finally here, I can't wait!" Tang Xiaotang's eyes were sparkling, full of excitement and curiosity.

  Duan Litang looked at Tang Xiaotang's lively appearance, and his worries were slightly relieved. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, let's go."

  The two of them used their skills to leave Lingxian Academy and ran towards the direction of the spirit tribe. Along the way, the scenery quickly retreated like a slide, with high mountains and dense forests flashing by one by one. While flying, Tang Xiaotang introduced some of the customs and practices of the spirit tribe to Duan Litang. When she mentioned the Spirit Butterfly Festival of the spirit tribe, she was even more excited, her eyes full of nostalgia.

  "During the Spirit Butterfly Festival, the entire spirit race will become lively, with spirit butterflies flying all over the sky and everyone dancing the Spirit Butterfly Dance. It's so much fun! When we have resolved the blood pact issue, I will definitely take you to have some fun." Tang Xiaotang said excitedly.

  Duan Litang smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about the unknown that was about to be faced. After several days of running around, they finally arrived at the edge of the Eldar's territory. The Eldar's territory was shrouded in a mysterious fog, and a faint fluorescent light flashed in the fog, as if countless pairs of eyes were spying on outsiders. Tang Xiaotang walked forward, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something, and the fog slowly parted, revealing a winding path.

  "This fog is the guardian formation of the elves. Only members of the elves or those with permission can enter." Tang Xiaotang explained.

  The two walked along the path, and the further they went, the more bizarre the scenery became. A huge spiritual tree towered into the sky, with vines emitting colorful light wrapped around its trunk, and spiritual butterflies flew between them, making a pleasant buzzing sound. On the ground, all kinds of strange flowers and plants exuded charming fragrances, and some flowers even swayed gently in the breeze, making sounds like singing.

  "Wow, the territory of the spirit race is so beautiful." Duan Litang couldn't help but sigh.

  Tang Xiaotang raised her head proudly: "Of course, the spirit race is one of the most beautiful races in the universe."

  Soon, they arrived at the core area of ??the spirit race - the Spirit Butterfly Valley. In the Spirit Butterfly Valley, a magnificent palace stood in the center of the valley. The palace was made of crystal clear spirit crystals, and under the sunlight, it emitted colorful light. Around the palace, countless spirit butterflies danced around, like a dreamy fairyland.

  Tang Xiaotang brought Duan Litang to the front of the palace. The spirit guards at the door saw Tang Xiaotang and immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Saint."

  Duan Litang was shocked. He did not expect Tang Xiaotang to have such a noble status in the spirit race. Tang Xiaotang nodded slightly and took Duan Litang into the palace. The interior of the palace was luxuriously decorated yet elegant. The walls were inlaid with huge ambers of spirit butterflies. Each piece of amber contained a spirit butterfly of different shapes, emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations.

  They came to a spacious meeting room, where several spirit elders dressed in gorgeous clothes sat. When the elders saw Tang Xiaotang, they all stood up to greet him.

  "Xiaotang, why did you come back suddenly?" asked a white-haired elder, his eyes full of kindness.

  Tang Xiaotang stepped forward and bowed: "Great Elder, I came back this time because I have something important to ask you." As she spoke, she looked at Duan Litang and motioned for him to take out the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood contract.

  Duan Litang understood, took out the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood contract from his bosom, walked forward and handed them to the great elder: "Elder, please take a look at this remaining page. The fingerprints of the spirit race on it are exactly the same as Tang Xiaotang's. Do you know the reason for this?"

  The Great Elder took the fragment and examined it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious. The other elders also gathered around and were all shocked after seeing the fragment.

  "How. how come the remaining pages of Chapter Nine of the Blood Covenant are in your hands?" The Great Elder's voice trembled slightly.

  Duan Litang told the elders of the Spirit Clan everything about how he found the fragments in the Sutra Library and what he saw in the illusion. After the elders heard it, they were all silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.

  After a long while, the Great Elder sighed: "It seems that the wheel of fate of the Ten Thousand Worlds has finally begun to turn."

  "Elder, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what's going on." Tang Xiaotang said anxiously.

  The Great Elder looked at Tang Xiaotang, then at Duan Litang, and slowly said: "The nine chapters of the blood covenant are indeed related to the fate of all worlds. In the past, after the ancient war of gods, in order to seal the power of chaos, the ancient gods created the blood covenant. And my spirit race is one of the guardians of this blood covenant. We are guarding an important secret related to the blood covenant. Only the saints of the spirit race are qualified to know this secret."

  As he spoke, the Great Elder looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "Xiaotang, as a Saint of the Spiritual Race, we should have told you this secret after you came of age. But now it seems that things are urgent and we can't wait any longer."

  Tang Xiaotang was nervous and curious. She clenched her fists tightly, waiting for the next words from the Great Elder.

  "The secret guarded by the spirit race is about the purest blood of the three realms. In the ancient prophecy of the spirit race, when the Blood Contract Master appears, the blood of the Saint of the Spirit Race will be the key to the purest blood of the spirit realm. The fingerprints on the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the Blood Contract were left by the previous Saint of the Spirit Race. Before she died, she predicted that the Blood Contract Master would come with the remaining pages, and asked us to help the Blood Contract Master complete his mission." said the Great Elder.

  Duan Litang and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other, their eyes full of shock. It turned out that Tang Xiaotang was really the one who possessed the purest blood of the Spirit Realm, and all this seemed to be developing in a predetermined direction.

  "Then senior, after the power of the blood contract is awakened, can it really seal the chaos? Also, Su Xueli and Ling Xianer, are they the ones who possess the purest blood of the fairyland and the devil realm?" Duan Litang asked hurriedly.

  The Great Elder shook his head: "We don't know whether the power of the blood covenant can seal the chaos. This is just a prophecy left by the ancient gods. As for whether the two girls have the pure blood of the fairyland and the devilland, further confirmation is needed. But since they appeared in the illusion, they must be related to the blood covenant."

  Duan Litang nodded, and secretly made up his mind to find Su Xueli and Ling Xian'er and figure out everything. "Thank you for telling me, elder. I have another favor to ask. I also ask the elder to allow me to stay in the Spirit Tribe for a few days. I want to look up the Spirit Tribe's classics to see if there are any other clues about the blood covenant."

  The Great Elder nodded slightly: "Since it is a request from the Blood Contract Holder, we should agree to it. You and Xiaotang can stay in the Spirit Tribe for a while longer. If you need anything, just let us know."

  In the next few days, Duan Litang and Tang Xiaotang looked up books in the library of the spirit race. There were very few records about the blood covenant in the library, but they still found some clues from some ancient legends. They found that awakening the power of the blood covenant was not easy. Not only did they need to collect the pure blood of the three realms, but they also needed to find other key fragments of the blood covenant, and these fragments were scattered all over the world and their whereabouts were unknown.

  During the days in the Spirit Tribe, Duan Litang and Tang Xiaotang's relationship became deeper and deeper. Tang Xiaotang took him to visit every corner of the Spirit Tribe and introduced him to all kinds of rare treasures of the Spirit Tribe. The two chased and played in the Spirit Butterfly Valley, just like a pair of carefree lovers. However, every time when it was late at night, Duan Litang would always think of the scene in the illusion of Su Xueli stabbing him, and his heart could not help but feel a stab of pain. He knew that behind this seemingly beautiful time, a huge crisis was quietly approaching.

  Meanwhile, at Lingxian Academy, Su Xueli and Ling Xian'er also noticed Duan Litang's disappearance. They searched everywhere, but could not find any trace of Duan Litang. Su Xueli felt uneasy, as she always felt that Duan Litang's disappearance was related to the blood contract. And Ling Xian'er, although still indifferent on the surface, revealed a trace of worry in her eyes. They decided to leave Lingxian Academy together and look for Duan Litang.

  At this time, in the library of the Spirit Clan, Duan Litang was concentrating on reading an ancient book. The yellowed pages exuded an old smell. Every time he turned a page, the dust flew freely in the light coming through the window. Tang Xiaotang shuttled between the bookshelves nearby, occasionally pulling out a book, quickly browsing it, and then putting it back in disappointment. Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes wide open, staring at the thin book she had just pulled out.

  "Duan Litang, come and see!" Tang Xiaotang's voice trembled slightly with excitement. Duan Litang stood up quickly and walked to her side. There was a vague pattern on the thin book, which was very similar to a rune on the remaining pages of the ninth chapter of the Blood Covenant. Next to it was written in the language of the Elven people: "The key to the Blood Covenant can be found in the Spirit Abyss. Use the heart as a guide to open the mysterious treasure." Duan Litang frowned and pondered this sentence over and over again. Where is the Spirit Abyss? How can we use the heart as a guide? Just as they were lost in thought, there was a sudden noise outside.

  "Saint Xiaotang! Two girls want to see you. They say they are Mr. Duan's friends." A spirit guard hurried into the library to report. Duan Litang and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Could it be Su Xueli and Ling Xian'er? The two hurried to the square in front of the palace of the Spirit Butterfly Valley. Su Xueli was wearing a moon-white dress with wide sleeves fluttering and her hair gently fluttering in the breeze, showing her gentleness and elegance; Ling Xian'er was wearing an ice-blue outfit with a cold ice sword hanging from her waist. Her cold face was like frost in the cold night.

  "Miss Su, Ling Xian'er, why are you here?" Duan Litang couldn't hide his excitement and walked forward quickly. Su Xueli's eyes were full of concern, and she said softly: "Since you disappeared, we couldn't find you anywhere in the school. Ling Xian'er and I were very worried. We guessed that you might be related to the blood contract, so we came all the way to find you." Ling Xian'er nodded slightly, her eyes swept over Duan Litang, and after confirming that he was fine, the worry in her eyes faded a little. Tang Xiaotang jumped to their side, took Su Xueli's hand and said: "Great, you came at the right time, we have made a great discovery in the spirit tribe!"

  The four of them came to the meeting room, and Duan Litang told Su Xueli and Ling Xianer in detail about the fragments found in the Sutra Library, the story told by the elder of the Spirit Clan, and the clues he had just found in the Library. After listening, Su Xueli frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "It seems that the four of us are closely related to the blood contract. But I don't know where this Lingyuan is." Ling Xianer stroked the hilt of the sword and said coldly: "Since it is related to the blood contract, even if it is dangerous, we have to explore it." Tang Xiaotang nodded vigorously, his eyes firm: "That's right, if we go together, we will definitely be able to solve the mystery of the blood contract!"

  Under the guidance of the elder of the spirit tribe, everyone learned that Lingyuan was located in the Wanling Mountains in the deepest part of the spirit tribe's territory. It was shrouded in rich spiritual energy all year round and hid many unknown dangers. On the morning of the second day, the four people said goodbye to the spirit tribe and headed towards the Wanling Mountains. As they stepped into the mountains, the rich spiritual energy that hit them refreshed their spirits, but the further they went, the darker the light became. The trees around them were tall and dense, and the branches and leaves were intertwined, almost covering the sky. Suddenly, a sharp cry broke the silence, and a group of spirit bats that looked like bats but emitted strange purple light whizzed past their heads. Their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and they obviously regarded the four people as prey.

  "Be careful! These spirit bats are highly poisonous." Tang Xiaotang shouted and quickly pulled out the spirit butterfly arrow, with colorful light condensing on the tip of the arrow. Su Xueli held the Lingxian Sword, and a soft golden light appeared on the sword; Ling Xian'er waved the ice sword in her hand, and an ice wall instantly built in front of everyone to block the impact of the spirit bats; Duan Litang's blood-colored light wings spread out behind him, and the powerful aura spread outward, shaking the surrounding leaves rustling. The spirit bats were fearless and rushed towards everyone one after another. For a while, the shouts of killing and the collision of spiritual power were intertwined. Tang Xiaotang's spirit butterfly arrows were like smart fairies, each of which accurately hit the spirit bats, and the spirit bats that were shot instantly turned into a pool of purple-black blood; Su Xueli waved the Lingxian Sword, and the golden sword energy was crisscrossed, cutting down the spirit bats one after another; Ling Xian'er's ice spells made the spirit bats fall into an icy hell, and many spirit bats were frozen into ice sculptures, falling to the ground and shattered. At the critical moment, Duan Litang used his blood-colored wings to roll up a strong airflow and knocked away the spirit bat that had escaped the net.

  After a hard fight, the group of spirit bats finally retreated. The four of them were all a little out of breath, and they had some scratches on their bodies. After a simple bandage, they continued to move forward. After walking for an unknown period of time, a huge valley appeared in front of them. The valley was filled with colorful mist, and the mist was faintly flickering with mysterious light, like a dream. "Could this be the Spirit Abyss?" Duan Litang looked at the valley, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. The four people stepped into the valley carefully. As soon as they entered, they felt a strong force pulling their consciousness. Tang Xiaotang suddenly hugged his head and groaned in pain: "My head hurts so much." Su Xueli and Ling Xian'er also showed pain on their faces. Only Duan Litang relied on the power of the blood-colored pendant to barely support himself.

  He endured the headache and shouted loudly: "Everyone concentrate, don't be disturbed by this power!" At the same time, he circulated his spiritual power, trying to find the source of this power. As his spiritual power deepened, he found a huge stone platform at the bottom of the valley, which was engraved with ancient runes. The runes emitted light, and it was this light that released the interference power. Duan Litang took a deep breath and walked towards the stone platform. Every step he took was extremely difficult, as if a heavy burden of tens of millions of pounds was pressing on him. Finally, he came to the stone platform and carefully observed the runes. He found that these runes had a subtle connection with the runes on the remaining pages of the nine chapters of the blood covenant. He tried to put the remaining pages on the stone platform. In an instant, the runes on the stone platform shone brightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire valley.

  In the light column, an illusory figure slowly emerged. The figure was dressed in a simple robe, with a kind face and endless wisdom in his eyes. "I am the incarnation of the ancient god, and I have been waiting for the blood covenant for a long time." The figure spoke, and his voice was like a bell, echoing in the valley. Duan Litang and others were shocked and saluted. "Blood covenant, you have collected the clues of the purest blood of the spirit realm, but the road to the blood covenant is extremely difficult. The owners of the purest blood of the fairy realm and the demon realm are also by your side, but the road ahead is full of thorns, and the power of chaos is already lurking in the dark." The incarnation of the ancient god continued.

  "Senior, please tell us how to awaken the power of the blood covenant and seal the chaos?" Duan Litang asked anxiously. The clone of the ancient god shook his head slightly: "To awaken the power of the blood covenant, we need to gather the purest blood of the three realms, and use the heart as a guide to hold a ceremony on the top of the ancient sacred mountain. However, the ancient sacred mountain is hidden in the cracks of the myriad realms. It is extremely dangerous and cannot be reached without great perseverance and wisdom." After speaking, the figure gradually dissipated, and a crystal clear jade plate appeared on the stone platform. A map was engraved on the jade plate, which was the route to the ancient sacred mountain. Duan Litang picked up the jade plate and looked at Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er, and Tang Xiaotang, with determination in his eyes.
