Chapter 237 The Secret of Mount Xumi
Mo Congfeng sneaked underground and came to a cavity in the mountain.
After entering the cavity, Mo Congfeng discovered a passage leading to the outside. The entire passage should be the main way to enter here from the outside, but he failed to find it and finally came here by burrowing into the ground.
Mo Congfeng looked around the underground cavity and the first thing he saw was something like an altar. At this moment, sunlight was coming in through the skylight on the top of the cavity and shining on the altar.
It seems that what is recorded in the scroll left by Beiliuhu is real. This is the Mount Sumeru recorded in the scroll. The skylight on the top is prepared for the specific light produced by the annular solar eclipse.
Mo Congfeng flew up to the skylight and looked out, only to see the gray sky and nothing else.
For Mo Congfeng, who has studied "Huangji Jingshi", he is well aware of the fundamental cause of solar eclipses.
Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty had a brilliant discussion on this. Liu Xiang, a Confucian scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, also said: "Solar eclipses are caused by the moon covering the sun." Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty also said in his "Zheng Annotation" of poetry: "The tenth month of the Zhou Dynasty is the eighth month of the summer. On the first day of the eighth month, the sun and the moon meet and a solar eclipse occurs."
Unfortunately, the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man created by the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty fooled the emperor and the world, and turned solar and lunar eclipses into the legend of the heavenly dog eclipsing the sun and the moon, and turned solar and lunar eclipses into omens that the heaven was angry and required the emperor to cultivate virtue.
What kind of magical power does the light of an annular solar eclipse have? Is there something special on the moon and the sun? Mo Congfeng couldn't figure it out. For a moment, Mo Congfeng even thought of some metaphors of Taoist alchemy.
Mo Congfeng murmured to himself, "The conjunction of the sun and the moon means the conjunction of yin and yang, water and fire? This seems to have something to do with the immortal body.
Could it be that a Taoist master had come here a long time ago?
But these don't seem to have much to do with the bloodline limit and bloodline elimination! The style of the information recorded in the scroll left by Hiruko is also very different."
Feeling that he was going off the track the more he thought about it, Mo Congfeng casually opened his perception field and continued to perceive. His perception ability penetrated the altar and he found that there seemed to be a layer of space below the altar, as if there was something hidden. These things might be the key to the altar's function.
Slowly falling from the sky, Mo Congfeng stared at the altar in front of him. Because of the lesson from the Evil God Cult a few days ago, Mo Congfeng was a little wary of this kind of things.
After hesitating for a long time, Mo Congfeng created a Wood Release clone and made the clone stand in the center of the altar.
The moment the Wood Release clone stood in the center of the altar, chakra quickly lost and was absorbed by the altar under his feet. The mysterious runes on the altar lit up, and soon the Wood Release clone could not hold on and turned into wood and disappeared.
When the Wood Release clone disappeared, a strange feeling came to Mo Congfeng's mind. It was a call from the sky.
Mo Congfeng was thinking and hesitating when the sky suddenly darkened. "It can't be such a coincidence, right? An annular solar eclipse is happening at this time?"
Mo Congfeng once again created a shadow clone and gave it 20% of his chakra, making the shadow clone stand in the center of the altar. It was the familiar chakra loss process again. This time the shadow clone had enough chakra to light up all the runes on the altar.
A solar eclipse occurred, but it was not an annular solar eclipse, but a partial solar eclipse. A mysterious message poured into the shadow clone's body from the sky. The shadow clone seemed to be undergoing some changes, but soon the changes stopped.
The annular solar eclipse soon ended and the sky became bright again. Mo Congfeng tried to remove the shadow clone, but the shadow clone did not disappear. The technique to remove the shadow clone failed. The shadow clone still wanted to resist and escape, and quickly rose into the air, trying to fly away through the skylight.
Mo Congfeng was horrified and immediately drew out the Sword of Thundergod, swung out a wind blade, and destroyed the shadow clone. After the shadow clone disappeared, it brought Mo Congfeng a message.
It turns out that this altar is dedicated to the moon goddess - the Goddess of Mao. The first half of the altar rune calls on the moon to come to the sky above the altar, and the second half prays to the Goddess of Mao to grant strength.
The shadow clone received a piece of information from the sky, which tried to transform the shadow clone's body, but the shadow clone was not a physical entity, and the transformation obviously failed, but it obviously also had an impact on the shadow clone, otherwise he would not have tried to escape.
Mo Congfeng did not believe that there was any force that could affect the trajectory of the moon. Perhaps the solar eclipse just now was just a coincidence, and it was not the annular solar eclipse recorded in the scroll.
However, the changes in the shadow clone were real and worth trying again. Mo Congfeng created another Wood Release clone and left a Yang Seal on the Wood Release clone in advance to prevent accidents.
The Wood Release clone stood in the center of the altar, actively outputting chakra and activating the mysterious runes on the altar.
Mo Congfeng looked up at the sky through the skylight, and something happened that shocked his worldview: the sky darkened again, the moon went retrograde, and black shadows appeared, blocking the sunlight again.
Mo Congfeng immediately released his Wood Release clone and stood in the center of the altar with his real body. Chakra continued to be output, and a partial solar eclipse occurred again. Information from the sky descended, and Mo Congfeng estimated that the hard core in his left arm had been summoned, and there was an obvious gathering phenomenon.
The hard core was completed and Mo Congfeng felt the upgrade. An unprecedented comfort came over him. Mo Congfeng felt as if he had shed his skin and felt light, lighter than ever before, as if his spirit had left his body and was about to fly into the air.
At this moment, something strange happened. The hard core in the forearm quickly moved upward along the entire arm. Mo Congfeng was shocked and tried to break free from the feeling of comfort. Only then did he realize that he was indeed lifted into the air by the power of the altar.
Mo Congfeng used the power of the corpse bone vein to create a bone barrier in his upper arm, blocking the hard core and preventing it from moving further upward. The hard core suddenly shattered and disintegrated, trying to bypass the bone and continue moving upward.
Mo Congfeng acted decisively, pulled out the Thor's Sword with his right hand, swung the sword and cut off his left arm at the root, then threw the Thor's Sword, which was nailed to a rock wall.
Mo Congfeng used magnetic escape to attract the sword of Thundergod and sucked himself out of the range of the altar. The left arm that remained on the altar continued to change, and soon turned into a little man with two horns on his head and three eyes in his forehead, but his body was not yet complete.
Mo Congfeng was shocked and swung the Sword of Thor in his right hand, attacking the altar, leaving only a shallow crack, which reminded Mo Congfeng of the altar of the evil god.
Mo Congfeng thought quickly and used the escape technique first. Liquid flashing with lightning appeared and sprayed onto the altar, quickly destroying several runes. The little man transformed by his left arm let out an angry howl.
Mo Congfeng was not very powerful. He approached the altar and used the Dispersion Technique. The altar collapsed piece by piece, revealing the space underneath.
After the altar was destroyed, the little man's changes finally stopped and he fell into the space below. He looked at Mo Congfeng angrily and let out shrill screams from time to time.
Mo Congfeng took back the Thundergod's Sword, formed a seal with one hand, first emitted a ray of lightning, and then spewed out a flame.
The little man's wailing finally stopped. Mo Congfeng drew out the Sword of Thundergod and carefully jumped into the space under the altar.
(A note on the setting to prevent criticism. Just like in the anime, the altar in Mount Sumeru can indeed fuse the five bloodline limits to obtain a sage body, but the protagonist has too many types of bloodline limits, twenty-one in total, so if the information projected by Kaguya Otsutsuki on the moon really completely fuses them, an incomplete Otsutsuki will be directly combined.
The regular version of the Sage Body is actually a power of the same level as the Bloodline Elimination. The protagonist is called the third level. Hashirama Senju can possess such power by default in addition to Wood Release, so that he can fight against Uchiha Madara, because the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is the second level and the Mangekyō is the third level.
Of course, Hashirama Senju's Sage Body and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan are both super powerful existences in the third tier, close to the fourth tier Rinnegan and Kekkei Network. The fifth tier is the level of the Six Paths Sage and the Otsutsuki in his prime.
If the protagonist is really willing to accept the fusion of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he will reach above the fourth level and below the fifth level, becoming an incomplete Otsutsuki.)
