g Lingxi saw that everyone had left, then took off her mask and looked at Empress Cen. Seeing Feng Lingxi, Empress Cen's eyes lit up, unable to hide her joy."Your Majesty, I have done what you asked....Feng Lingxi stood at the gate of the sacred land, glanced at the expectant gaze of the Great Elder, took a deep breath, and told herself that soon she would be able to leave here with her child.

"Madam Lu, bring out the white porcelain."

Madam Lu nodded, opened the box, and the appearance of Bai LiuLi made the Great Elder's eyes even more fiery, and a greedy light also flowed from his gaze.

"Grand Elder, Bai Liuli is the sacred artifact of the Lu family. The acknowledgment ceremony requires the Grand Elder and others who are not from the Lu family to avoid it and complete this acknowledgment ceremony to prevent errors during the acknowledgment of the sacred artifact."

"Lord, wouldn't this be about worrying that we would peek at this white porcelain"

The Second Elder's tone held a hint of disdain, but as soon as he spoke, the First Elder rebuked him.

"Bailu Li is the sacred artifact of the Lu family. The recognition ceremony is solemn and must be conducted according to the Lu family's rules. Everyone avoids it, and no one is allowed to peek. If it leads to the opening of the holy land gate, all will be severely punished according to the Yao clan's tribal regulations."

The Grand Elder was only thinking about opening the Holy Gate at this moment. These two elders dared to thwart his plans, how could he show them any respect

The Elder Two was rebuked, and hurriedly turned his back, with a look of disdain on his face.

Feng Lingxi bowed to the Grand Elder in greeting, then, watching as everyone had turned away, instructed Wan'er, "You are responsible for keeping watch. Do not allow anyone to peek, or the soul-binding ceremony will fail."

"Understood."

The High Elder reminded them once more, "All of you behave yourselves. If the ceremony of pledging allegiance fails, none of you will be allowed into the Holy Land."

When the Elder spoke, everyone dared not act out of line and all obediently turned their backs, afraid to peek.

Feng Lingxi and Lu Fuzi looked at each other, then took out the Zi Xing and inserted it into Bai Liuli's body. They both pricked their fingers, letting their blood drip into the Zi Xing Bai Liuli. Watching the blood flow in and completely vanish, they saw a purple beam of light shoot up into the sky. In an instant, it disappeared, and Feng Lingxi finally let out a breath of relief.

"Alright."

The Elder and the rest all looked up at the purple beam of light refracting upwards, stunned by its intensity. If they weren't here, they wouldn't believe how magical the Purple Star White Jade could be.

"Elder Master, the acknowledgment ceremony is complete. Now I am going to open the Gate of the Holy Land. Please step back slightly and wait until I have opened the gate before entering."

Wind Lingxi held the Zi Xing Bai Liu Li in both hands, standing before the gate of the Holy Land. Looking at the recess where the Zi Xing Bai Liu Li was placed, she turned to Mrs. Lu and said, "Madam, you go up first. We'll go in and investigate then come back."

Be careful.

Mrs. Lu gave an order and then left under everyone's gaze.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and placed the Purple Star Bai Liu into the groove. The stone door remained closed. Feng Lingxi looked at the Great Elder, "Great Elder, remember, do not disturb the ancestors' slumber. Everyone, please move slowly and carefully."

"Okay, hurry up."

Feng Lingxi nodded. This time, she slashed her wrist, and blood flowed out of her wrist, drop by drop, onto the Zixing Bailu. The blood spread rapidly along the pattern on the stone gate, and the Zixing Bailu emitted a purple light that spread over the pattern of the sacred gate. Accompanied by a muffled sound, the stone gate slowly rose.

The elder's eyes were fixed on the stone gate as it rose to its highest point. He hurriedly said to Feng Lingxi, "Go in quickly."

Feng Lingxi knew that the Grand Elder was afraid of the stone gate hitting him, and wanted her to go first to scout the way, but she wasn't afraid at all.

"Wǎn'er, go inside with your mother."

Looking at her mother's outstretched hand, Waner took her mother's hand and walked in without looking back. She stood facing the gate of the sacred ground, and the stone gate did not fall.

"Now everyone can come in."

"The Gate of the Holy Land has truly opened."

The Elder exclaimed with excitement, and the elders behind him hurried towards the stone gate. The stone gate didn't close, they all went in, and the stone gate remained open.

After entering Shimen, everyone rushed toward the sacred site. Feng Ling followed closely behind. When they reached the entrance to the Earth Palace, everyone looked at the magnificent building of the Earth Palace and was so excited that they were speechless.

"Grand Elder, this is the entrance to the holy ground. There are eighteen layers in total, each with one hundred and thirty-three steps. The location of the eighteenth layer is where the ancestors' coffins are..."

Before Feng Lingxi could finish her words, the elders rushed towards the steps like madmen, eager to be the first to reach the main coffin on the eighteenth floor. Feng Lingxi tried to stop them, but they were already gone.

"Mother, they run so fast."

Wan'er looked at her mother, “Let's chase after them quickly.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli beside her, "What does the chieftain mean Stay or..."

"Let them go, that is the deepest greed in their hearts. We are just fulfilling their desires."

"Doesn't the Chief want to go and have a look"

Feng Lingxi asked, Luo Li smiled instead.

"Get things done quickly."

Feng Lingxi looked at Sun Cheng, “Place the gunpowder and saltpeter under the stone pillar, and evacuate.”

Sun Cheng hurriedly led his brothers to a staircase landing to place gunpowder and saltpeter, while Feng Lingxi clutched the last piece of gunpowder in her hand. Luo Li arranged all their burdens by the door and walked towards it. After finishing her arrangement, Feng Lingxi took Wan'er out. The elder and others had already gone up, accompanied by the sound of fighting, vying for who would reach the eighteenth floor first.

Let's go.

Feng Lingxi pulled Wan'er back, and when they reached the gate of the Holy Land, everyone came out. Feng Lingxi and Luo Li looked at each other. Feng Lingxi handed the gunpowder to Sun Cheng, took off the Zi Xing Bai Liu Li, and just as she was about to drop it on the stone gate, Sun Cheng lit the gunpowder and threw it in. The stone gate fell with a dull thud, causing the ground to shake violently. Immediately after, the ground trembled violently, and the direction of the Holy Land collapsed with a roar. Feng Lingxi hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!"

Luo Li picked up Wan'er and flew away, everyone rushed to the shore. The ground continued to shake violently, mountains around the sacred site collapsed, with a deafening roar.

"Get out, the Holy Land is collapsing."

Luo Li shouted loudly, the Yaozu people came back to their senses and hurriedly evacuated. They didn't know how long it took before the shaking stopped. Everyone calmed down and looked in the direction of the sacred place. A mountain had been pressed directly into the ground. No one knew why.

"Chieftain, what has happened Where are the elders"

Luo Li steadied her feet and hurriedly comforted Wan'er, "Are you alright"

Wan'er shook her head, looking at the surrounding clansmen, still shaken and bewildered. Her mind was blank, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"After the High Elder and the other elders went in, something happened at the holy site. We were walking at the back, luckily, with the Lord's protection, we escaped safely."

Luo Li said something, now the tribe members could only hear it.

The Great Elder went in and couldn't come out. The Yao Clan was no longer up to the Great Elder's say-so. The Second Elder had always been powerless, and with hatred for the Great Elder burning in his heart, he now suddenly realized everything. What happened It was all the Clan Leader's doing! Otherwise, why were only nine Elders affected while everyone else remained unharmed.ordinates to stay and guard while she personally applies the medicine."Dugu Cheng glanced inside the room. "Later, tell Xi'er to rest assured. This king has something to attend to outside the city.""M...
