"Who would have thought that a united sacrifice was actually a scheme orchestrated by the Evil Gods in collaboration with 'Gong Zheng'."

Zhou Xuan lowered his head, mumbling about the "Heavenly Ghosts Sharing Method," and pondered over the limited details. He asked the God of Suffering, "Heavenly God, the sixteen Evil Gods plan to devour 'Gong Zheng' during today's Blood Sacrifice,

and at the same time, they've dispatched the Great Priests from the Yin Hall to some mountain cave. Does this mean that the location of these Great Priests is where the Evil Gods reside?"

The flicker of the Heavenly God's Fire swayed, negating Zhou Xuan's guess, saying, "Not so. The Sharing Method was originally part of a grand altar. The united Blood Sacrifice is the core of the altar, responsible for opening the passage between the Heavenly Dome and the human world.

Once the passage is fully opened, the Great Priests will be under the control of the Evil Gods, using their flesh to draw a second altar... You've seen the Evil Gods, so you should know that the Evil Gods' control over their followers is stronger than that of the True Gods. It is an absolute control of spirit and flesh,

The sixteen Great Priests will form an even more sinister altar. The energy from this altar will completely awaken the Evil Gods, allowing them to detach their souls from their flesh and become Shadow Gods, capable of devouring 'Gong Zheng' completely.

Throughout the process, the Evil Gods will not show themselves, and Gong Zheng, located in the passage between the human world and the Heavenly Dome, will be completely devoured without showing himself as well.

In such a manner, the ancient god 'Gong Zheng' will silently enter the human world without anyone knowing."

The God of Suffering said, "Fortunately, you came to ask me. I see you intend to kill Gong Zheng. I advise you to give up,

you cannot break the 'Heavenly Ghosts Sharing Method.' If you don't utilize your energy to forcibly stop the united Blood Sacrifice, once the passage is opened, Gong Zheng will 'enter the depths like a dragon, return to the mountains like a tiger,' thriving in the human world, and it will be difficult to deal with him then."

"But it seems the ritual has already started," Zhou Xuan said.

"The passage between the Heavenly Dome and the human world is not so easily opened. It requires time and a continuous force of Blood Sacrifice.

This grand Blood Sacrifice is to last several hours, and only after the ceremony is complete, will the passage be pried open for 'Gong Zheng' to descend.

It means that as long as the ceremony, which lasts several hours, is stopped before it completely ends, 'Gong Zheng' cannot descend."

"Understood."

Zhou Xuan said, then his Divine Soul returned to East Market Street,

Behind the Heavenly God's Fire, an old man appeared wearing a Daoist robe, with Ancestor Crow Cloud Patterns on the dark robe.

"Old cow nose, why aren't you staying in your Time-Space World properly, and instead coming to Mingjiang Prefecture to watch the excitement?"

The Heavenly God's Fire said grumpily.

"You can watch the excitement, but a poor Taoist like me can't?"

The incense fire Taoist gently tapped his left palm with his horsetail whisk, saying, "'Gong Zheng' is truly remarkable, honored as an ancient god of the Heavenly Dome, and over two thousand years, who knows how much shady business he has done in secret. The Heavenly Ghosts Sharing Method, without immense trust between him and those sixteen Evil Gods, they wouldn't dare to use this method rashly."

"Isn't that so? If 'Gong Zheng' didn't trust the Evil Gods, how could he dare to let them devour himself willingly?

If the Evil Gods didn't trust 'Gong Zheng,' they'd surely fear it's a trap, waiting to capture their souls when they ascend and become Shadow Gods, only to be annihilated by the Heavenly Dome True Gods."

The God of Suffering said, "To build such a trusting relationship wouldn't have been an overnight effort; just like how thick ice isn't frozen in a single day.

Hopefully, Zhou Xuan won't be stubborn this time and will prevent the Blood Sacrifice ritual in advance, to prevent disaster before it happens."

"I hope so too,"

The incense fire Taoist said likewise.

The Heavenly Ghosts Sharing Method is almost unbreakable. The sixteen Evil Gods might be hiding anywhere in Mingjiang Prefecture, possibly underground, or in someone's body, or perhaps within certain people's dreams, or in the Yin Sha Qi of an ancient grave,

finding all of them within a few hours is an impossible task...

...

"So, hearing you say that, the plan to forcefully attack 'Gong Zheng' is thus put on hold,"

Yun Ziliang also sighed and said.

The God Traveling Departments of Mingjiang and Ping Shui Prefecture were gathered and ready, the Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree and Zhou Family Ancestor Tree were poised to act, the Ancient Tree Golden Bell was also ready to release the "Bell Slave" for nine incense rounds.

The personnel were all in place, just waiting to catch the enemy in a jar, not expecting 'Gong Zheng' this old fellow to have such potent strategies.

"Lao Yun, I still think this is a rare opportunity to kill Gong Zheng. It's a pity to put it on hold now."

While Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang were discussing, Shang Wenjun approached and said to Zhou Xuan, "Young Master, King Xishan entered Gangfeng Cave in the last minute before the united Blood Sacrifice began."

"He still came,

" Zhou Xuan said.

If King Xishan hadn't gone to Gangfeng Cave to participate in the united Blood Sacrifice, it would mean he harbored ill intentions and had already broken away from the control of Mingjiang Prefecture's God Traveling Departments.

Since he has now gone into the cave, it indicates a high probability that King Xishan leans towards the interests of Mingjiang Prefecture God Traveling Department and has not partnered with 'Gong Zheng.'

"Master Shang, did Li Chengfeng also go to Gangfeng Cave?"

"Yes,"

Shang Wenjun said. "The united Blood Sacrifice occurs once a month and is a significant event in Mingjiang Prefecture. And those sixteen Yin Halls, each finds the other an eyesore, each holds deep grudges. The God Traveling Departments also fear they'd break into a big fight, so every time, there are people from the God Traveling Department patrolling outside Gangfeng Cave to maintain order.

Old Li is the Sun Traveling God, how could maintaining order miss him."

"That's good."

Zhou Xuan entered the Daoist Temple within the Secret Realm, calling Li Chengfeng, "Old Li, I request to descend."
