As the saying goes, "No breaking, no establishing," to create new things, you often have to first break the old ones.
The power Po Jun masters is the force of breaking the old to establish the new, so he sees things related to removing the effects brought by the wind disaster.
The Immortal Mansion Leng Shan is targeting is Megrez, the third star of the Big Dipper, also known as Lu Cun.
Lu Cun rules over wealth, official rank, longevity, and the power of harmonizing yin and yang, so what he sees is the image of the wind disaster transforming into auspicious signs.
As for Erin, she did not target the Immortal Mansion, but her strength itself is no less than that of the Immortal Mansion Master, so she doesn’t need to rely on the master’s legacy.
She possesses the strength of a Principal Angel, and recently she has been continually comprehending the Eternal Lake, and has a deep insight into order.
Thus, what she sees is related to the order of the world.
Upon thinking of this, Wu Chang falls into contemplation. According to his inference, having targeted the Immortal Mansions of Megrez and Kaiyang, and bearing the fortunes of literature and martial arts, what he should see must be related to this.
But compared to the literary and martial fortunes, why does he feel that the Three-sided Command Banner is the main character of the scene he sees?
He doesn’t have time to think it over carefully, controlling his True Self and main body, he speaks of what he sees.
Only that he hides the existence of the three Command Flags, dividing the scene he sees into two parts.
Those with Literary Fortune see the grand scene of the ceremony and the distribution of auspicious energy.
Those with Martial Fortune, like Sect Leader Tang, see the violence of the black wind raging, and as the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony begins, the black wind is absorbed into the altar by the power of the ceremony and transformed into auspicious signs.
When it comes to An Rong, what An Rong sees is similar to Wu Chang, both seeing the process of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony.
In An Rong’s description, there are no three Command Flags, but he sees the power that can transform the black wind into auspicious signs is actually the power of Human Dao Destiny condensed by the priests.
Besides, he also clearly sees the full picture of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony, its layout has an eighty percent similarity to the Earth Sacrifice ceremony of the Li Di Guan.
After An Rong finishes talking about what he sees in the altar, he looks up and meets the eyes of Wu Chang’s main body.
Wu Chang perceives a hint of evasiveness and unease in An Rong’s gaze.
He looks at Sword Star with his True Self, discovering Sword Star has no reaction to An Rong’s words, indicating An Rong is not lying.
But his Inspiration also tells him that as the Plane Son, An Rong probably sees more in the altar than he says.
An Rong probably holds back something, and what he’s holding back is more than what Wu Chang does; it’s enough to keep An Rong absent-minded and worried when listening to their descriptions.
Setting aside the secrets An Rong sees in the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony, the scenes Sword Star and Leng Shan see are enough for Wu Chang to gain a basic understanding of the ceremony.
In the Demon Realm, there are four Inheritance Lands of the Demon King, making him suspect the existence of altars for the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony hidden in these four places.
In the Inheritance Land of the Wind Demon King, what they see are all wind disasters; the other three places likely correspond to land disasters, water disasters, and fire disasters respectively.
The Earth Sacrifice Ceremony is not truly a reverence for the heavens but a remedial measure.
In the original Dungeon Plane, everything was peaceful with no anomalies at first, but for some unknown reason, four disasters began appearing on the land.
The four disasters not only bring four natural calamities, but they also destroy the four fundamental elements forming the world.
The foundation of the world is shaken, causing Plane Rules to be damaged, affecting both mortals and cultivators.
The cultivators of the Dungeon Plane cannot repair the Plane Rules and can only pray to the heavens through the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony.
If nothing unexpected happens, the heavens they pray to should be entities from a higher plane.
At that time, the Dungeon Plane is in the Realm of Reason, so the heavens they pray to must be at least on the level of the Abyss Third Layer, and the entities that respond to their prayers might be of the same level as Leman and Kristen.
No matter who intervenes, under outside help, the four disasters are not only suppressed strongly but also transformed into auspicious signs through a special array, compensating for the losses suffered by the Dungeon Plane.
From what he sees in the scene, the key to transforming the four disasters into auspicious signs is the three Command Flags erected on the altar.
The style of these three Command Flags is similar to the Soul Cleansing Banner, and the faint black violent Spiritual Qi inside the cultivators affected by the wind disaster has some resemblance to Demon Qi.
Combining this with the Array he sees in Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, it inevitably reminds him of the technique the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion Master uses to convert Demon Qi into Spiritual Qi.
Perhaps the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion Master finds the method to convert Demon Qi into Spiritual Qi from the three Command Flags of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony and then uses this method to create the Soul Cleansing Banner.
If it’s true as he thinks, then aside from the Soul Cleansing Banner, there should be two other Command Flags to go with it.
If he can gather the three Command Flags, he not only collects a set of Cultivation Techniques but might also uncover the hidden secrets of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony.
Apart from the three Command Flags, what also concerns him is the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony itself.
In the scenes seen by everyone, including himself, the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony is portrayed as a very positive existence.
It is a means to eliminate the four disasters, restore Plane Rules, and a last resort.
But judging from the records in the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion, the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony is evidently not so harmless, as it is because the seven Immortal Mansion Masters notice the anomaly of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony that they come up with using the earth to substitute the heavens, replacing the Earth Sacrifice with the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony.
Does the danger of the Earth Sacrifice Ceremony come from the entities responding to the ceremony, or is it that the ceremony itself has problems?
