334: Chapter 334 Sacrifice

"For this goal, your father can sacrifice anything, can forsake everything!"

Fairy Qingyun's tears flowed even more fiercely; she blinked desperately, as if pleading with her father to pull back from the brink.

But Sect Master Qingxuan had already been completely consumed by his obsession.

He leaned down, gently stroking her cheek, a spine-chilling sneer curling the corners of his mouth.

"There is no need to look at me with those eyes."

"As the Saintess of my Qingxuan Sect, you have enjoyed the cultivation of the sect's heritage for hundreds of years, and the very best resources of the entire sect have been poured into you."

"Now, it is time to make a small, insignificant contribution to the sect and to your father."

Sect Master Qingxuan turned around, his wide Daoist robes snapping in the cold wind.

He clapped his hands, and from the shadows of the great hall, four attendants wearing heavy black armor and bronze masks emerged as silently as ghosts.

These four attendants radiated the terrifying fluctuations of the early Integration Realm.

But their eyes were utterly hollow.

Clearly, they were not living beings, but death warriors refined through secret arts.

"What are your orders, Sect Master?"

The four death warriors knelt on one knee, their voices sounding mechanical.

Sect Master Qingxuan did not look back; he simply pointed coldly at Fairy Qingyun on the couch, uttering a heartless command that sent her into an icy abyss.

"Lift her up."

"Now, immediately, throw her into the main branch of the Spirit River behind the mountain!"

When these words were spoken, even those four emotionless death warriors were somewhat startled.

The Spirit River water!

In the legends of the Linghe Realm that had been passed down for eons.

Although the Spirit River nurtured the vitality of all things, its water possessed a most domineering and terrifying characteristic.

"Not even a feather can float, and birds can barely cross."

The river water contained the primordial laws of heaven and earth of the entire world.

Even a great expert at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm with heaven-defying cultivation, if they accidentally fell into the Spirit River water, would have all the spiritual power in their body sealed off in an instant.

They would only sink to the bottomless riverbed like a heavy piece of common iron, completely powerless to resist.

And in that pitch-black, icy riverbed, only a dead end awaited them.

Since ancient times, any cultivator who fell into the Spirit River...

No matter how small the branch.

None had ever survived!

Let alone that Fairy Qingyun was about to be thrown into the main branch near the Qingxuan Sect, which was almost at the source.

Throwing Fairy Qingyun into the Spirit River water?

This was nothing short of murder!

But death warriors were, after all, death warriors; they only obeyed orders.

The four immediately stepped forward, roughly lifting the stiff-bodied Fairy Qingyun from the jade bed.

Fairy Qingyun was held mid-air by the four, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and despair.

She did not understand why her father wanted to kill her in this way.

"I know what you are thinking."

"Do you think I want you to die?"

Sect Master Qingxuan walked to the entrance of the great hall and pushed open the heavy doors.

He gazed into the distance at the main branch of the Spirit River, which was tens of thousands of miles wide, churning and roaring amidst the clouds.

His eyes flashed with fanatical light.

"No, Yun'er."

"You are going to trade for the greatest fortune in this world for your father."

It turned out that this helmsman of an ancient sect, who had been stuck at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm for hundreds of years...

In order to seek an opportunity to break through to the Mahayana Realm.

He had searched almost all the ancient ruins of the Linghe Realm.

Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard.

In a dilapidated cave dwelling left behind by a powerful Mahayana expert.

He had found a tattered ancient book written by an unknown author.

The ancient book recorded a shocking and horrifying secret.

It turned out that in the deepest part of this Spirit River, which nurtured all things.

In the riverbed where even light could not penetrate.

Lived a tyrannical, capricious River God who controlled the entire Spirit River water vein.

This River God held the heaven-defying opportunity that could allow one to ascend instantly and break through the barrier of the Mahayana Realm.

But the River God was greedy and lecherous by nature, and had extremely high standards.

Only by taking a top-tier female cultivator with peerless beauty, superior talent, and pure primordial yin...

Coating her entire body with the "Dragon-Attracting Ointment" recorded in the ancient book, and throwing her into the Spirit River as a sacrifice.

Could the River God be lured out.

To bestow supreme fortune.

After obtaining this secret technique, Sect Master Qingxuan felt as if he had grasped a final straw of hope.

Before the next generation of various sects in the entire Linghe Realm grew up.

Whose beauty and talent could compare to his own biological daughter, who was world-renowned.

Fairy Qingyun?

For the sake of that illusory Mahayana Realm and the ambition to live as long as heaven and earth.

This father had completely lost his humanity.

He personally sent his own daughter to the altar.

"Take her away!"

Sect Master Qingxuan coldly waved his sleeve.

The four death warriors carried Fairy Qingyun and transformed into four streaks of black light.

They sped toward the most precipitous cliff behind Luoxia Peak.

Below the cliff was the main branch of the Spirit River, hundreds of miles wide and surging with waves.

The river water roared with a sky-shaking sound, as if ancient beasts were roaring angrily beneath the water.

On the surface of the water, perhaps due to the overly dense spiritual energy or the spray of water mist, a layer of white spiritual mist had formed.

Making the river water appear even more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Splash!"

Without any hesitation, without any pity.

The four death warriors suddenly let go at the edge of the cliff.

Fairy Qingyun's delicate body fell rapidly in the strong wind like a fallen leaf with broken wings.

Finally, it smashed heavily into the ice-cold, bottomless Spirit River water.

Splashing up an insignificant spray.

The moment she fell into the river water.

A terrifying water pressure, overwhelming like a landslide and tsunami, enveloped Fairy Qingyun's entire body.

The cultivation in her body, which was originally surging like the sea.

At this moment, like a mouse seeing a cat, all flowed back from her meridians and retreated into the depths of her dantian.

She could no longer mobilize even a fraction of it.

Feeling the bone-chilling cold coming from around her body, Fairy Qingyun was already in despair.

Even though she possessed a cultivation that could be called peerless genius.

But in front of this violent Spirit River at its source.

She was still as weak as an ant.

She began to sink rapidly and uncontrollably toward the dark, lightless depths of the riverbed.

The sensation of suffocation gripped her throat tightly.

"Mmm... glug, glug..."

Fairy Qingyun struggled desperately in the water.

She felt her consciousness slowly blurring, the air in her lungs being squeezed out bit by bit.

However.

Just when she was about to give up resistance and prepare to welcome the arrival of death.

The "Dragon-Attracting Ointment" that had originally been hidden within her body.

Suddenly erupted with a blinding red light after coming into contact with the water current in the depths of the Spirit River.

This light was not suppressed by the laws of the Spirit River, but instead transformed into a peculiar, strange fragrance.

Spreading madly toward the pitch-black, boundless depths of the riverbed at an incredible speed.

Immediately after.

In front of Fairy Qingyun's gradually unfocused vision.

Suddenly, two scarlet lights lit up, resembling blood-red lanterns.
