For a force as powerful as Tianyuan City, this small team may be insignificant, but for a family, their existence is undoubtedly shocking.

In addition, these guards were all cleverly hidden within the restrictions. They were silent, without any communication, and were uniform, showing a high degree of unified training results. This is extremely rare for any family.

When Xu Jiao noticed something strange about Lin Mo, he explained to him in a low voice:

"I hope seniors will listen to me. This is the secret guard of my Xu family, and it is also the most elite fighting force of my family. Although one person alone is not the opponent of high-level monks, if three or four people join forces, they can still fight against

The monks at the level of becoming gods compete against each other."

"I see, it seems that these people are also good at the secret of group fighting." Lin Mo seemed to be quite interested in this.

"Haha, it's true. Since the awakening ceremony is extremely sensitive and easily disturbed, we will dispatch all the secret guards in the clan to station here to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony."

Xu Jiao explained again.

This time, Lin Mo nodded gently to express understanding, and then stopped talking.

Xu Jiao showed off his magic weapon, tearing apart the restrictions as easily as cutting tofu, and then everyone settled in front of the magnificent temple-shaped ship halfway up the mountain.

On the plaque above the palace gate, there is only a large ancient Chinese character "Xu" written in silver powder. Around the gate, there are seven or eight secret guards standing upright, with cold expressions, as tall as pine trees.

The only thing that puzzled Lin Mo was that the closed door of the entire palace was not opened at all. Instead, the side door next to it that only allowed one person to pass sideways was always open.

Lin Mo looked suspicious and asked: "Senior Haihan, this is the location of my Xu family's ancestral temple, so we can only go into the secret room deep underground through this side door."

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the senior Lin Mo in front of them was really unhappy because of this trivial matter, it would definitely be a loss that outweighs the gain for the Xu family.

In this way, everyone passed through the narrow side door and stepped into the Xu family's ancestral temple.

After going through a long corridor and going around half a circle, Lin Mo and his companions chose not to stay in the formal palace of the ancestral temple, but went directly into the inner hall of the ancestral temple.

To everyone, in an extremely secretive and difficult-to-detect secret room in the inner hall, there is a white stone staircase that extends downwards slopingly to the depths of the crypt.

At the entrance to the steps, there are several secret guards stationed vigilantly.

Xu Jiao waved his hand gently, and the secret guards immediately retreated to both sides respectfully.

So, a group of people dressed in black stepped into this slightly dark staircase.

The light in this passage is dim, and from time to time there will be cold wind coming from below, making everyone feel slightly chilly. At regular intervals on both sides of the passage, there is a moon stone engraved with the size of a fist.

The light in the passage flickers on and off, and the shadows intersect, making it seem like you are in a world full of ghosts and shadows.

Fortunately, the staircase was not too long. After just a moment, they walked out of the passage and arrived at a well-designed underground hall.

Lin Mo looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The entire hall is made of a kind of light black jade, and its area is huge, with a width of three to four hundred feet. The surrounding walls and top are engraved with complex and mysterious white runes.

These runes shone with white light, making the entire hall as bright as day.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the hall is the exquisite pool-like platform in the center.

The high platform takes on the shape of a hexagonal prism and is tightly surrounded by a huge magic circle.

The circular pool in the middle of the high platform was filled with bright red liquid. Although there was no bloody smell, a rich fragrant aroma wafted from it.

Inside this huge magic circle, about a dozen practitioners from the Xu family were meditating with their eyes closed, just enough to form a complete circle around the prismatic high platform.

This actually included two elite members, Xu Yan and Xu Huo, whom Lin Mo had met before.

"Greetings to Senior Lin, thank you for lending a helping hand to our Xu family."

When they saw Lin Mo coming into the hall accompanied by Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao, how could these two monks at the Xu family's level not guess Lin Mo's purpose?

He quickly stood up excitedly and saluted in Lin Mo's direction to thank him.

"There is no need to say thank you for now. Whether we can really help or not is yet to be determined."

Lin Mo shook his head gently and said.

As the patriarch of the Xu family, Xu Jiao didn't care about this. Instead, he waved to the distance, signaling other cultivators of the Xu family to come and say hello to Lin Mo.

These practitioners include both men and women, including young people in their thirties and forties, as well as old men with gray hair and deep eyes.

But there is no doubt that each of them has the strength to transform into a god, and they are undoubtedly core members of the Xu family.

These cultivators had already secretly observed Lin Mo with admiring eyes. Apparently they had already known that he was a strong man in the integration stage.

Now after hearing the order from the head of their family, they all stood up and saluted Lin Mo in unison.

Lin Mo waved his hand and then walked straight to the blood pool, with strong interest on his face.

"This is an item made according to the method recorded in the "Blood Soul Technique"."

"In addition to the essence and blood of our Xu family members, the spiritual liquid in the pool also contains a large number of precious elixirs and spiritual objects, which are mixed and melted."

"Not only is it needed to awaken the blood soul, but it can also borrow the blood energy in the pool to effectively slow down the dissipation of the blood soul."

Xu Yuan on the side explained in a low voice.

"I see. However, the key to the awakening ceremony should be the item under the spiritual fluid. Without this object, no matter how much spiritual fluid is in the pool and how mysterious the magic circle is, it is still impossible to perform the Blood Soul Secret Technique.

Difficult matter!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The dark blue light in Lin Mo's eyes flickered slightly and he said lightly.

"Senior is very perceptive and discerning, and has already seen through the mystery. In the spiritual liquid below is the treasure of our Xu family, the 'Blood Crystal Coffin'. Without this treasure, it would be impossible to condense the blood soul that attaches to it."

Bloodline body.”

Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and explained calmly.

"Blood crystal coffin! This is enlightening. I already know a little bit about this awakening ceremony."

Lin Mo looked back and forth at the huge magic circle below, as if suddenly enlightened. After thinking for a moment, he smiled slightly.

"Is what senior said true?"

Xu Huo and Xu Yan on the side looked puzzled, obviously confused and disbelieving about Lin Mo's words.

The Xu family tried their best to prepare for this awakening ceremony, and it took half a day to finally complete it.

Even though the other party was a monk in the integration stage, they were able to understand the mystery with just a short observation, which was really unbelievable to them.

Especially Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao showed surprise after hearing Lin Mo's remarks.

"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be surprised, because the rituals of your family are quite similar to a foreign martial art that Lin has seen before. They have different approaches but the same effect." Lin Mo explained with a serious expression and a smile.

However, a certain foreign martial art book that I had read when I was in Tianyun Continent could not help but come to mind.

Although this alien race is not well-known, the recorded skills can split the soul into many parts. As long as one of the strands can be integrated into the body carefully prepared in advance, a seamless replica of the incarnation can be instantly generated.

This kind of skill is extremely unique, and the training formula is quite close to human skills.

Lin Mo felt as if he had found a treasure and immediately remembered it.

However, it was later discovered that the core part of this technique actually requires the mysterious talent of the alien race to be understood. Otherwise, after practicing, the technique may have a backlash.

Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon it with regret.

Of course, aliens and humans are inherently different, and the details of the two secret arts are also very different, but they can be said to be extremely valuable reference materials for splitting souls and reshaping new bodies.

Lin Mo, who was originally only 30 to 40 percent sure, felt that if he delved into the similarities between the two, he would be 70 to 80 percent confident that he could succeed.

However, Lin Mo would certainly not share these secrets publicly on this occasion.

He just slowly walked around the blood pool and the entire magic circle under the different eyes of the monks, keeping his eyes fixed on the magic circle and the central blood pool.

"Everyone, when the time comes, I will provide timely assistance. Please continue to carry out the ceremony as originally planned."

After several cycles of observation, Lin Mo said these words lightly, then turned and walked to a corner of the hall, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

Xu Jiao frowned slightly as he listened to these words. After waiting for a moment, he found that Lin Mo was indeed sitting quietly on the spot, in deep concentration, and finally resisted the urge to speak.

Later, he chose to step into the magic circle with other Xu family monks, and sat cross-legged around the high platform to adjust their breaths.

As time passes, the sky above the mountain range gradually becomes darker.

As the night fell, the originally silent and focused monks of the Xu family gradually became a little restless.

Many monks could not help but raise their heads and cast concerned glances at the high platform in the array, with complex expressions on their faces.

After a moment of waiting, Xu Yuan, Xu Jiao and others also slowly opened their eyes and stared ahead intently.

However, they didn't know exactly how much time had passed, and they could only feel a strange atmosphere permeating the entire hall.

Surprisingly, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the top of the hall.

One by one, the flawless white runes began to flow rapidly at high altitudes, and in just a moment, several simple small magic circles were formed.

Immediately afterwards, a strong buzzing sound suddenly sounded!

After these small magic circles trembled slightly, several pure white light pillars spurted out from them, hitting the prismatic high platform below accurately, and then quickly disappeared into the blood pool.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Almost at the same moment, the originally silent blood pool suddenly became boiling.

A strange vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the blood pool, spinning at an alarming speed.

In the blood-red water waves, silver runes of different sizes appeared and disappeared, looking extremely mysterious.

"The time has come, let's activate the magic circle!"
