Feng Lingtian said, "The Emperor's Mausoleum is where the powerful Emperors of the Red Moon Sect are buried. Whenever an Emperor falls, his bones will be preserved here, leaving a glimmer of hope for the next generation to become an Emperor."
Lin Tiandao: "The opportunity to become an emperor? Are you talking about the secret method of becoming an emperor by borrowing bones?"
Feng Lingtian said, "That's right! No sect in the world can guarantee that there won't be a gap in the number of Great Emperors. The same is true for the Red Moon Sect. The Emperor's Mausoleum exists for this very reason."
"When a sect is at its lowest point and there's no Great Emperor to rule, if it encounters a major crisis, someone must make a sacrifice and use the technique of borrowing bones to become an emperor, saving the sect from danger and ensuring the immortality of the inheritance."
Lin Tiandao: "Why do you say it's a sacrifice? Are there any side effects of this secret method of becoming an emperor?"
Feng Lingtian said sadly, "This kind of shortcut method will naturally have side effects. After barely reaching the Emperor Realm, one's cultivation will never advance an inch, and their lifespan will be greatly affected, limiting them to a maximum of a hundred years. Therefore, no one is willing to use this secret method unless they are in a life-or-death situation or their lifespan is almost over."
Lin Tiandao: "So you were in a life-or-death situation just now? I just asked you to open the sarcophagus, there's no need to risk your life."
Feng Lingtian said: "Opening the sarcophagus is the first step in performing the secret technique. Once started, it cannot be reversed. Otherwise, you will be devoured by the blood in the sarcophagus, and the consequence will be death."
Lin Tian's eyes flickered slightly: "So, you want me to open the sarcophagus, but I don't know that secret method, so I can only be devoured by blood and die, right?"
Feng Lingtian said nervously: "In that situation, I couldn't do anything. If you hadn't forced me to open the coffin, things wouldn't have turned out like that."
Lin Tian sneered, "I don't think so. You brought me into the imperial mausoleum. I'm afraid you've already planned to use the power of the sarcophagus to take my life, right?"
"No no! Absolutely not."
Feng Lingtian quickly shook his head. No matter what he thought at the time, he absolutely could not admit it now, otherwise he would definitely suffer the consequences.
Lin Tian didn't dwell on this question too much. He was more concerned about another thing: "In other words, there is also a lot of blood in the other two sarcophagi? Where did this blood come from?"
Feng Lingtian suddenly fell silent.
Lin Tiandao: "You'd better answer honestly, otherwise you won't have to wait a hundred years, you will die now."
Feng Lingtian's body trembled. He used a secret technique, and he could only live for a hundred years at most.
The shorter the life span, the more precious it is. He doesn't want to die yet.
Feng Lingtian said: "The Emperor's Bone needs human blood to nourish it before it can perform its secret techniques."
Lin Tiandao: "Does that mean a lot of blood is needed? A million people's blood? Or tens of millions of people's blood?"
Feng Lingtian was surprised and asked, "You...how did you know?"
Lin Tiandao: "Don't worry about how I know this, just tell me how much blood I need."
Feng Lingtian could no longer conceal the truth, so he could only honestly say, "One Emperor Bone requires the blood of at least 30 million ordinary people to perform a secret technique. If it were the blood of a powerful warrior, the number of people could be greatly reduced."
Lin Tian's eyes turned cold. "So, three emperor bones would require the blood of almost 100 million people? You are truly cruel. Is the Red Moon Sect a demonic sect?"
Feng Lingtian said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. The Red Moon Sect is a reputable and upright sect. This secret technique has never been used before. We don't know what caused the sarcophagus to move this time, and the restrictions within it sucked a large amount of blood from an unknown source. This is completely unexpected."
"is that so?"
Lin Tian looked at the three sarcophagi with a pensive look on his face.
The open sarcophagus was still oozing blood, as if it would never stop. It was obvious that there was a space of its own inside, storing an unknown amount of blood.
The other two sarcophagi were floating quietly, their smooth surfaces reflecting blood, and there was a sense of weirdness in the silence.
Lin Tian suddenly asked: "If the sarcophagus is not opened, what will happen next?"
Feng Lingtian said: "If no one uses the secret method, the emperor bone will absorb enough blood and will be resurrected."
"resurrection?"
Lin Tian's eyes flashed: "Can the emperor be resurrected after his death?"
Feng Lingtian said: "That is not a true resurrection. It is just that the emperor's bones absorb blood and reunite with the emperor's body. At that time, as long as there is a trace of consciousness attached to the body, it can be resurrected. This is what is usually called possession."
Lin Tiandao: "Seize the body? Who wants to seize the body?"
Feng Lingtian said: "It should be the person who drew the blood."
Lin Tian's expression changed: "Who do you think that person is?"
Feng Lingtian didn't say anything.
Lin Tiandao said, "I remember you said that there's a Red Moon Emperor in the Red Moon Sect who's hiding somewhere cultivating. Is it possible that the Red Moon Emperor is manipulating all this behind the scenes?"
Feng Lingtian shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Lin Tiandao said, "You really don't know? By the way, let me tell you something. Nine cities in the eastern region of Shenzhou were massacred, tens of millions of people died, and all their blood was drained. I'm sure the situation in the western region of Shenzhou was similar. And the two portals of the Red Moon Cave Heaven were also opened by the huge blood energy. What do you think about this?"
Feng Lingtian's forehead was covered with sweat. "I don't have any opinion. This matter has nothing to do with me, nor does it have anything to do with the Red Moon Sect. None of our sect's Saint Realm experts have ever set foot on the Shenzhou Continent. You know this..."
Lin Tiandao said, "This imperial tomb stone coffin has absorbed the blood of nearly 100 million people from the eastern and western regions of Shenzhou Continent, and you actually say it has nothing to do with you?"
Feng Lingtian's forehead was covered with sweat. He said nervously, "I don't know what's going on. Someone must be behind this..."
Having said this, he suddenly paused. He could have distanced himself from the matter completely, but the blame would have been directed at the Red Moon Emperor, and the Red Moon Sect would still be involved.
Lin Tiandao: "Then it was the Red Moon Emperor who did it?"
Feng Lingtian said, "That's not certain. The Red Moon Emperor has been missing for tens of thousands of years. Even if he is still alive, his life span is probably coming to an end. His strength has been greatly weakened, making it difficult for him to perform such a grand cross-border blood-sucking move."
Lin Tiandao said, "That's just your guess. Perhaps he's growing stronger and stronger as he gets older. Besides, the Imperial Mausoleum is a forbidden area of the Red Moon Sect. Outsiders are completely unaware of its secrets. Who else but your own people could do such a thing?"
Feng Lingtian was speechless. In fact, he also thought that it was Emperor Crimson Moon who did it, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Lin Tiandao: "There are two more sarcophagi, go open them."
Feng Lingtian's heart was shaken, and a look of shock appeared on his face as he said, "Are you crazy? Once the sarcophagus is opened, we must use the secret method of borrowing bones to become the emperor, otherwise the emperor bones will resurrect and kill all living things in sight. Then everyone will die, and the Red Moon Sect will be destroyed!"
Lin Tiandao said, "Are you stupid? Wouldn't it be enough to let two more half-step emperors perform their secret techniques? As long as they have self-awareness like you, everything will be under control. We can also add two more emperor-level combat forces. Isn't that great?"
