Richardson’s knowledge of this trip was somewhat different from that of the other officials.
Every person who entered the pagoda was constantly killing the blood souls as requested by the Bloody Pagoda. The endless army of blood souls was attacking like a raging fire. Gradually, those who entered the pagoda were like firewood, being roasted dry by the fire until they turned into real firewood, burned and turning into the nutrients of the pagoda.
Although a hundred people had left the Bloody Pagoda alive last time, to be precise, no one had survived. Among the hundred Immortals and true Gods, someone had accidentally discovered the existence of the blood soul flower. The more blood soul flowers one ate in the Bloody Pagoda, the faster one’s energy would recover. At the same time, the easier one would die after leaving the pagoda! It could be said that everyone who entered the Bloody Pagoda was destined to die from the beginning. Such a secret would naturally not be known by the public.
The reason why Richardson knew so much detail was because he had a trace of the celestial spirit bloodline. Before entering the tower, he did not know that he would not be able to return. The moment he entered the tower, his bloodline was activated. He saw a trace of the vast sea of information that the gods, demons, and celestials were born with.
Unfortunately, Richardson’s knowledge was limited. It was not enough to give him a way out. Although he could abandon his position as a temple official when necessary and abandon the mission, then leave the pagoda at all costs, if he did defect, it would very likely attract the region-wide pursuit of the eastern region’s God Emperor. Unless he turned to a top-tier faction in a divine region that was on par with the Eastern Temple, he would not be able to escape the temple’s judgment!
It would be great if the true celestial, demon, and god races were here. Then, he might’ve had other ways to survive.
Richardson sighed and continued to slash at the blood souls. He was not the only one. Everyone who entered the pagoda was killing the blood souls. During the intervals between the killings, many people were also exchanging information..
At present, almost all who entered the pagoda knew that the more blood souls one killed, the better the reward. However, at the same time, some said that the more blood souls one killed, the faster one would die. Due to the fact that the news of “the more one killed, the faster one will die” was contrary to the Bloody Pagoda’s initial notification, and no one knew where it came from, most of those who entered the pagoda only treated it as a smokescreen used by some big factions to trick the unaffiliated cultivators. They did not take it to heart.
Moreover, although the environment of the Bloody Pagoda was quite harsh, at present, the blood-soul tide was besieging the outstanding teams only. For the rest of the people who entered the tower, it was not difficult to deal with the remaining blood souls, and they could even find some time to rest in the middle of battles. Although the recovery speed in the pagoda was slower, it could still be recovered by absorbing the blood souls’ crystal cores. However, the energy of the crystal cores was too violent, so most people chose to use the blood soul flower that grew from the blood water.
“This pagoda is pretty good. It feels safer than other cultivation locations,” Someone sighed.
His companion was more vigilant, “It’s a place that we haven’t thoroughly understood, so it’s better to be careful.”
It had only been a few days since the Bloody Pagoda opened. Who knew what would happen after that? At this moment, a willpower suddenly resounded throughout the entire place.
[On the third day after the pagoda’s doors have been opened, the first white holy lotus has bloomed. Those who obtain the white holy lotus and enter the pagoda will be able to remove the marked blood curse seal after wearing the lotus for two hours.]
When this voice rang out, the peak God King of the Eastern Temple revealed a shocked expression, “Damn it, the Bloody Pagoda hadn’t been like this the last time! Didn’t the white holy lotus appear last?!”
As the leader of the officials, Cena obtained a lot of useful information through his uncle and the temple. For example, he knew that the semi-solid liquid formed after crushing a blood soul and its crystal core could nurture a blood soul flower that was the most suitable for energy recovery. He also knew that although the blood soul flowers could partially alleviate the blood curse mark obtained from killing the blood souls, they could not remove the root! As a result, when the last hundred survivors left, they either went crazy or self-destructed. Only one crazy person survived for some unknown reason.
Later, through the words of that crazy person, the temple learned that the Bloody Pagoda was a part of the chaos divine weapon, and they also learned about the existence of the white holy lotus. The Bloody Pagoda sent the blood souls on their way by killing them, but those who killed the blood souls would be given evil karma, which was depicted as a multi-layered blood curse mark. The only thing that could completely remove the blood mark was the Holy Tower’s white holy lotus!
When he learned about this, Cena almost quit. After all, the Bloody Pagoda had announced the Holy Tower’s coordinates when it was opened last time. Although the Holy Tower was in a forbidden land jointly controlled by the gods, demons, and celestials where no ordinary people could enter, there was still hope.
Speaking of the crazy person, the reason he survived was because he ate the white holy lotus. The white holy lotus was hatched from the blood corpse of his wife. At that time, the true God could not accept the death of his beloved wife, so he continuously used the resurrection spell on the blood corpse. When the blood corpse had slightly recovered, the other people who entered the pagoda killed it again. A white holy lotus appeared in the crimson blood, and the true God went completely crazy.
Now, although Cena did not know any resurrection skills, he had ten resurrection talismans that he had exchanged for at a high price. Even if he had to rely on probability to get a white holy lotus from blood corpses, or even if there were other hidden conditions, these ten resurrection talismans should be enough to let him leave the pagoda safely! Even though he had to think of a way to gain control of the Bloody Pagoda during this period, compared to the others, Cena, as the leader of the temple officials, felt quite confident.
First, he would rush to the destination first, then he would be in the lead. At the end, he would leave the tower safely alone! At that time, his name would spread throughout the entire eastern divine region, maybe even reaching the ears of existences like the God Emperor!
However, as soon as he entered the tower, he sensed other existences! They were clearly at the immortal level, but the intensity of their auras was far stronger than his, a God King…
“Impossible! The white holy lotus can’t possibly appear now!”
Those who were listening to the notification from the Bloody Pagoda looked at the source of the voice in astonishment.
“Eh, isn’t that the God King from the Eastern Temple?”
“Strange, why is he so surprised? Could it be that the Eastern Temple has given him some clues? That’s right. After all, it’s such a large faction. How could they not have any sources of information?”
“Even the God King is so concerned about it. We definitely can’t let that white holy lotus pass us by!”
“Perhaps the white holy lotus is related to the ‘opportunity’ mentioned by the Bloody Pagoda. Such a treasure is definitely very useful!”
“It’s a pity we don’t know where the white holy lotus is. The space within the tower is extremely vast, it would take a long time to find it…”
“Does this pagoda have a spirit? If the position of the lotus can be marked, then…”
Just as the group of immortals and true Gods were discussing, a white pillar of light shot up into the sky.
“Damn, what’s that?!”
“Eh, isn’t there a throne in the center of the pillar? Someone seems to be sitting there?”
[Every time the white holy lotus changes ownership, a white pillar of light will appear for an hour. Everyone is welcome to challenge the holder of the white holy lotus.]
The notification had been said in a flat tone, but Chu Feng, who had been tricked, could hear the interest in watching a show in the voice.
The beasts that were happily fighting the blood souls immediately turned around and rushed toward their Beastmaster.
Does someone want to bully their boss? They had to get past them first!
