"Boom..."
"Boom—"
Suddenly...
Thunder rumbled in the sky and the wind and clouds changed dramatically.
A hurricane blew from the top of the mountain and dark clouds gathered overhead.
This was the first time that Taoist Cheng used a sacrificial ritual involving more than a hundred people. At this moment, he was under the dark clouds and was quite frightened.
He cleared his throat, suppressed the fear in his heart, closed his eyes, and continued to cast the spell.
In the formation, Xiaohu looked anxiously at Rong Chaoxi who was wrapped in white lines.
He stretched out his hand to pull the white line apart, but the moment he touched it, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Several older children also wanted to save Chaoxi, but they all fell down at the first touch, just like Xiaohu.
When the other children saw this, they all avoided the white line and did not dare to act rashly.
As time passed, abundant spiritual energy surged out of the formation and gathered around Taoist Cheng.
He suddenly felt the blood and energy surging throughout his body, and countless spiritual energies poured into his body.
Gradually, he felt the pull of the earth on him disappear.
"Look!" a child exclaimed, "Is that uncle flying?"
The children looked over when they heard the sound.
I saw Taoist Cheng being lifted into the air by the white light surrounding him.
"Immortal, truly an immortal..."
The man and the old woman who were hiding in the dark and watching ran over and kowtowed to the Taoist Cheng who was "ascending".
"Immortal, please bless us."
They dare not dream too much, they just hope to regain their youth and live a long life.
Taoist Cheng slowly opened his eyes when he heard the voice.
He saw the aura surrounding him, a hurricane circling around him, and purple lightning swirling in the dark clouds.
Terrifying thunders roared one after another, and a vast pressure swept over between heaven and earth.
"I'm going to ascend? I'm going to ascend!"
First it was disbelief, then ecstasy.
"This is my thunder tribulation. After one hundred and eighty years of cultivation, I am finally going to ascend."
"Hahahaha..." He laughed wildly towards the sky.
"I, Taoist Cheng, am the first person to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven in thousands of years..."
"ah--!"
At this exciting moment, several screams of extreme fear suddenly came from the ground.
"Master...you...you are getting swollen!"
The man pointed tremblingly at the person who was slowly growing bigger in the air.
Upon hearing the voice, Taoist Cheng looked down at his body which was stretched out by spiritual energy, like a huge water ball.
Before he could be shocked, what happened next made him open his eyes suddenly wide.
I saw the pure spiritual energy in his body spurting out from the blood hole like blood.
"Wait... my spiritual energy, my cultivation... all of you come back, come back..."
Taoist Cheng tried his best to cover the bloody holes on his body and face.
A punctured water ball cannot be stopped from flowing out no matter what.
The hourglass turned upside down, and all the spiritual energy was lost.
Taoist Cheng fell to the ground like a withered straw.
He raised his dry hands in disbelief.
He put his hands on his face, which was also covered with wrinkles.
"Ah...Ahhhhhh..." He screamed in horror, his eyes filled with fear.
"Impossible! Only two hundred children. They can't burst my body... Impossible, this is impossible..."
He raised his head with difficulty to look at the child who had fallen asleep in the formation at some point.
In the middle stood a baby, looking at him with its head tilted.
Those gray eyes were lifeless.
The fear on Cheng Daoren's face deepened, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"You...why are you here...aren't you dead?"
"Father...is my meat delicious?"
The baby came forward.
The next moment, the baby turned into another little girl.
“Uncle, what did you take from me? Why did I die?”
"Uncle, the river is really cold..."
"Uncle, please let me go back. My parents are waiting for me at home for dinner..."
Every step she took was a different look.
The appearance of those children that Cheng Daoren killed for his own selfish reasons!
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here..."
Taoist Cheng dragged his legs backward tremblingly.
He covered his eyes, trying to block out all the evil things he had done in the past.
But the children's painful questions kept coming into his mind, tearing at his soul.
After struggling painfully for a while, he gradually calmed down.
"The spiritual energy leaked out, and the detained souls escaped with it. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"A mere evil ghost, I, a cultivator of the Dao, have no fear!"
Taoist Cheng, sweating profusely, struggled to sit cross-legged again and set up a formation to protect himself so that the ghost could not get close.
He kept chanting in his mouth, trying to take back the dissipated spiritual energy, but with little effect.
The spiritual energy he took back was only enough to prevent his body from continuing to age.
"Help, help, help..." He shouted towards the direction they came from.
The reason why this place was chosen for the ritual was because of the big tree at the foot of the mountain that was full of spiritual energy.
The sudden interruption of spiritual energy and my strange behavior today must be related to the monster that stole chickens and sheep.
We have to get out of this damn place first!
Taoist Cheng called out several times but no one responded.
Little did he know that the man and the two women had already been frightened to death and fled down the mountain.
"Uncle, please let me in. Let's talk about this. Why did your life have to be exchanged for the lives of so many of us?"
The ghosts outside were still beating against the barrier.
Every time you slap it, a face changes.
Over the past hundred years, thousands of innocent children have died tragically.
"Evil ghost...don't mess with my mind!"
Taoist Cheng steadied his trembling body, suddenly struck the child with a palm, then turned over and flew away.
A small hand waved away the white mist.
Rong Chaoxi's cold little face slowly emerged.
