CHAPTER 2221  NUMBER OF KILLS

The history of the Sacred Tear Tribe had indeed been quite harsh and the group finally all that had happened in the Spatial Plane.

"The prophecy by the Ancestral spirit… it's the Celestial, isn't it?" Daoist Chu asked.

"That seems like the most obvious answer." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "But it doesn't seem like the prophecy was fulfilled… The Hrothak or rather the Chimeric beasts are still present here." He added.

"We can now assume the Celestial probably turned this place into their 'treasure' much after the departure of the Sacred Tear Tribe." Lin Mu said, detailing the timeline in his mind. "Considering the fact that the Sea of Muxuan was created over a hundred thousand years ago… and the empires didn't exist until a hundred and fifty thousand years ago… All these events should have happened over two hundred thousand years ago." He estimated.

"Two hundred thousand years ago… there are some clans that are still present since then, but I doubt they would have records about this place. Whatever humans that arrived here were from the Eight Kingdom alliance continent, which had been embroiled in many conflicts over the years.

They probably are the worst in keeping history, thus we probably don't have much hope in finding more records." Qiao De said, after thinking for a bit.

"Well, we do still have the rest of the Offering Hall. Perhaps there's more inside here that we can find." Daoist Chu said, making the group nod.

"We haven't checked inside… there could very well be more records inside along with whatever 'offerings' that could be present." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed.

"Let's go in and see for ourselves." Lady Kang said, making the group moved.

A pair of doors stood at the other end of the circular hall that was easily opened by Lin Mu.

~CREAK~

Dust and bits of debris fell from the door as it was pushed open, revealing a small passage way.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Daoist Chu illuminated it with more talismans and showed them the path.

"Hm… no murals here." Lin Mu looked at the passageway that was rather plain.

~step~step~step~

With nothing of interest in the passageway, the group walked in silence, only the echoes of their steps being heard.

~SHUA~

They finally arrived in a new hall that was circular in shape, with no supportive pillars present. But Lin Mu and the others could sense Immortal Qi in the air here.

"There are formations here, for sure." Lin Mu said, sensing the faint flow of Immortal Qi.

At first it felt like the immortal Qi was just ambient, but if one paid more attention and focused, they would sense that it was actually flowing in a specific pattern.

"Indeed." Even the Crown Prince and the others could tell that now.

"They are probably intended for these." Lady Kang said, looking at the ground.

Unlike the plain floor from the earlier hall, this one had a few unique looking segments.

There were several hexagonal segments on the ground that had fine lines linking them to the walls. ~SHUA~

Lin Mu used his immortal sense and probed these segments, finding that there were many runes hidden within. But before he could read what these runes were, a wave of energy was felt.

~HONG~

The wave of energy came from all the walls and washed over the group. But that wasn't all as they felt the energy penetrate their bodies.

This alarmed them quite a bit and they tried to put up defenses.

"It didn't get blocked!?" Lady Kang was shocked. owns this.

With the amount of immortal tools she had, it should have certainly gotten blocked. The rest of the group was also concerned, but since no harm had been done, they were a bit relieved.

~HONGLONG~

But a few seconds later, a rhythmic sound was heard and thousands of runes appeared in the air!

"The runes… they're similar to the notification we got at the start and ends of the trials." Crown Prince Feng Shun recognized.

~humm~humm~Humm~

The runes transformed into ten streaks and rushed into the bodies of each individual present. Lin Mu flinched, but couldn't dodge the runes that had easily entered his body.

'It inscribed a formation onto us?' Lin Mu quickly sensed.

~Weeng~weeng~weeng~

And a moment later, bands formed around the wrists of every one. The band was green in color and was certainly made by the formation that had been inscribed onto their bodies.

~SHUA~

This was not the end of the surprises though, as they saw a string of numbers pop up above the green band.

Each person seemed to have a different set of numbers, some small, some large, making them wonder what it was.

Lin Mu took a quick glance around and realized that he had the largest number in the group.

"Three million, six hundred and twenty-four thousand, three hundred and one." Lin Mu read the number above his band.

Compared to him, the second biggest number only seemed to be in the tens of thousands and was held by none other than Lady Kang.

"Thirty eight thousand four hundred and twenty." Lady Kang read her number before looking at Lin Mu and then at the others.

"What are these numbers?" Qiao De asked, looking at his own number. "And why's mine so small?" Lin Mu looked at the man's number. That was barely above three thousand.

"I think… These are kills." Ziran guessed. "Daoist Mu Lin has had the most kills… or has killed the most Chimeric beasts here. While we don't know the exact number, it does seem to be the most likely one." He explained.

"So the Spatial Plane's formation array has been keeping track of how many chimeric beasts we killed… interesting." Crown Prince Feng Shun narrowed his eyes.

"But there should be some reason that it's keeping track of the kills, shouldn't there?" Min Ju asked.

~RUMBLE~

Just on cue, they felt the hexagonal segments on the ground rise as more runes shone on their surface.

"Looks like we'll know soon enough." Lin Mu said, as he felt the formations working.
