Wind Devouring The World - C125

Instead of answering the monsoon, Ocott said, “You wait here, Siddhartha is dead, they’ll come looking for me, they can’t possibly come in here. You just wait here, don’t go anywhere. ”

Since Ocott did not answer his question, Ji Feng immediately knew that he had arranged for something else to happen.

When Ji Feng nodded in agreement, Ocott opened the door and went out.

After the door was closed, Ji Feng immediately moved closer to the door and focused on listening to what was happening outside. However, he found that he could not hear anything. He immediately understood that there was something wrong with the door and the wall. Otherwise, Ocott would have warned him not to approach the door.

Since he couldn’t sense what was happening outside, he started to observe the surroundings. This place was very spacious, and in the middle of it, there was a large altar that had been pulled up. Even though he was still a rookie, he could tell with a single glance that there were many magic arrays engraved on the altar. Of course, he did not know what these magic arrays were used for. There was a faint smell of blood in the space. Because of his line of sight, he could not see what was on the altar that had so many magic arrays drawn on it. However, he knew that this should be the heart of the manor. Presumably, without Ocott’s permission, no one would dare to come in here. Otherwise, Ocott would not have let him stay here.

Despite Ocott’s warning him not to wander around before he left, Monsoon was not an obedient person. I don’t think Ocott will be back for a while. He wanted to see what was on the altar. Perhaps it would be of some help to him and Melinda if they left this place.

Having made up his mind, Ji Feng immediately made his move. He quickly walked toward the altar and started jogging. He took big steps and quickly arrived in front of the altar. Although he saw that there was a staircase to the left of the altar, he didn’t choose to climb it.

Standing on top of the altar, he immediately saw the groove in the middle. There were also sparkling and translucent skeletons, as well as blood that covered half of the skeletons. Then there were the six round grooves that surrounded the square grooves, and the connecting tubes between each grooves and the one in the middle.

At a glance, Ji Feng could tell that there was some sort of ceremony going on here. It was more like the legendary resurrection ceremony. With this guess, he thought about the fort he had seen at the exit, and the many high-level cultivators. He was even more certain that his guess was correct. Presumably, the magic array on the sacrificial altar was a resurrection formation. It was a pity that he did not know anything about magic arrays. Otherwise, it might have been useful to record down the magic arrays here.

Just as Ji Feng was about to bend over to examine the skeleton in the groove, he felt the door open. He thought it was Ocott, and he started. It turned out that it was not Ocott who had entered, but rather an “acquaintance”.

It was one of the six people that he and Melinda had seen hanging from the ceiling earlier. Moreover, the person was holding a sealed round barrel in his hand. Looking at the other five people coming in, Ji Feng didn’t know what to do.

However, he immediately noticed the abnormalities of these six people. He noticed that the expressions of these six people were very blank. He stood so eye-catching on the altar, but the six people acted as if they didn’t see him. Even his gaze did not land on Ye Zichen. From their appearances, Ji Feng could tell that they were puppets.

After this speculation, Ji Feng stared at their movements. He immediately realized that their movements were stiff and mechanical. Every step was of the same size and their movements were uniform. All the signs indicated that these six people were puppets.

The six of them went up to the altar and then separated. Each of them was responsible for opening the bucket and slowly pouring the blood inside.

Knowing that they were puppets, Ji Feng turned his gaze away from them and only looked at the skeleton in the groove. He suddenly thought of the pineal gland that he had opened not long ago, which was also known as the Heaven’s Eye.

Through the Heaven’s Eye, he immediately discovered that the magic array around the altar was absorbing the energy from the ground, filling the indentations. Originally, the energy underground was the same as the surrounding spiritual energy, they were all multicolored, but the color was a bit deeper. To this, Ji Feng could understand. Under the influence of the earth, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth also changed. The change is first in color. Of course, not everyone could see these colors. Other than those who were born with special abilities, people like Ji Feng who had opened their Heaven’s Eyes or trained in some kind of special technique. In short, there were very few such people.

After the earth’s energy passed through the magic array, it was converted into a pale energy. Under the gaze of the Heaven’s Eye, he found that the altar was also engraved with a dense magic array. Moreover, these magic arrays were constantly operating. It transferred the transformed energy into a black rectangular groove.

The sparkling and transparent skeleton was like a bottomless pit as it absorbed the pale white energy that it had converted. The fresh blood also seeped into the skeleton’s bones. With the help of the Heaven’s Eyes, Ji Feng clearly saw that each bone of the skeleton had a magic array carved into it.

After a while, he discovered that the pale white energy did not stay in his bones for long, and it flowed towards his head. It was like a river flowing into the ocean.

Using the Heaven’s Eyes, Ji Feng used his spiritual power. Not long after his gaze landed on the skeleton, he noticed that there was a change in his soul orb. The uneventful whirlpool showed signs of accelerating. Moreover, the direction of the whirlpool was pointed at the skeleton in the black rectangular groove.

Ji Feng immediately knew that this pale energy should be mental energy. However, because of the magic array, this energy was not leaked out, so he did not sense it earlier. Thinking about the loss of a large amount of Spirit Power in the Soul Orb, Ji Feng couldn’t help but be excited.

He immediately saw the hope of replenishing the soul orb’s psychic power. With such boundless psychic power, he believed that as long as he could absorb even a little of it, he would be able to replenish his previously consumed psychic power to its original level or even higher.

He did not expect that there was actually a magic array that could convert the earth power into mental power. Ji Feng did not waste any time in exclaiming. What he lacked the most right now was spiritual force, and replenishing his spiritual force was what he wanted to do the most. With spiritual energy, he could instantly fire as many fireballs as he wanted. During the battle, he had confidence. The people Ocott had asked him to deal with, whether they were Necromancers or Fighters, were all high-level cultivators.

Angele had used up most of his mentality during the fight with Cedric. His spiritual energy was recovering at a much slower rate than his physical strength. Ocott obviously wouldn’t give him much time, and the longer he stayed here, the more unlikely his chances of leaving with Melinda would be. Moreover, his curse was only temporarily suppressed. Three days later, his entire body would be covered in pustules. Therefore, no matter what, he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

The biggest problem he might face was whether or not the soul orb could absorb this converted spiritual force. If he couldn’t absorb the soul orb, he could only watch on helplessly. Because this was mental energy, his body was unable to absorb it.

As a result, he ignored the six puppets who were pouring out their blood, and placed his right hand on the skull’s fontanel. As soon as he placed his hand on it, the suction vortex in his sea of consciousness, which had been accumulating energy all this time, immediately started acting on the skeleton’s sea of consciousness through his right arm. Ji Feng immediately felt a wave of ice-cold spiritual energy entering his meridians. He could not help but shiver.

While absorbing the skeleton’s spiritual force, Monsoon had been keeping an eye on his surroundings. He had even considered what he should do when Ocott suddenly appeared.

But before he could reach Ocott, he became aware that the skeleton that had been lying quietly in the groove suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably. This discovery made Ji Feng very nervous. Even so, Ji Feng had no intention of stopping. His thought was simple, he wanted to absorb as much spiritual force as possible in a short period of time.
