Chapter 958: The Discovery
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After staying in the hall for almost 2 days, honestly, it was Zhang Tie's first time to seriously watch the joss in this hall .
This joss was higher than 30 meters . Standing in front of the joss, Zhang Tie looked up and felt being oppressive like watching a furious giant spirit .
This joss had the features of both humans and demons . Its upper body was like that of humans while its lower body was like a snake . The joss lowered its head with closed two eyes while a vertical eye between its eyebrows was overlooking a location on the altar . Its snake-shaped lower body coiled around a bizarre, tall furnace . The joss integrated with the furnace in an organic way .
If it was a joss, the furnace beneath the joss would be the base of the joss; if it was a furnace, the joss would be a bizarre and exaggerating ornament above the furnace .
The joss was purple all over as if it was made of red copper . However, it was just a judgment from its texture; actually, this joss could never be made of a common metal such as red copper .
There were dense, numerous runes and patterns and reliefs of various lively strange animals on the furnace . The altar was in front of that furnace, which was precisely put in front of the vent of the furnace . The entire altar was connected with the furnace . It could be regarded as a part of the furnace or the lower structure of the entire joss .
There were also many reliefs and mysterious runes over the altar .
If this joss was a sculpture, it must be a priceless art treasure .
After looking at the joss for a while, Zhang Tie recovered his composure . After that, he moved his eyes onto a small platform in the middle of the altar . The platform was over 1 m above the ground like a speech table . There was indeed a groove-shaped matrix which was as large as two palms .
In Zhang Tie's eyes, the so-called matrix was just a mysterious pattern combination composed of some intricate geometrical patterns . The center of this pattern combination was that strange triangular symbol being composed of three scales on the top of the hieron's gate .
When he remembered the demon baron's words, Zhang Tie slightly made a minor wound on his palm by the gold-eaten tri-edged dagger and filled the matrix in the groove slowly with his blood .
In a split second, Zhang Tie's blood was absorbed by the matrix . Closely after that, the pattern combination started to radiate a glow . The small platform where the matrix lay had slowly shrunk into the altar, leaving the red mysterious patterns in the center of the altar .
After the platform completely shrank into the altar, Zhang Tie immediately sensed a connection between his spiritual energy and the joss while some strange information occurred to his mind unconsciously .
Those information were all about how to make the bloody sacrifice .
At this moment, those information were like the instructions of a set of machine . When this set of machine started, its instructions occurred to Zhang Tie's mind .
The instructions included three points .
First, the process and skills of the bloody sacrifice . The bloody sacrifice had to be completed with living beings .
Second, as Zhang Tie had started the bloody sacrifice altar with his blood, this bloody sacrifice would be dominated by Zhang Tie's will . It would exchange what Zhang Tie would sacrifice for what he demanded .
Third, the bloody sacrifice could heal his wounds and help him break through some skills . All of these proceeded according to a mysterious principle of exchange at equal value . If he wanted to cure severer wounds, he had to sacrifice more advanced living beings . The law also fit skills breakthrough; especially the latter . The bloody sacrifice didn't fully correspond to skills breakthrough . There's a chance of success . That was to say, even if he had sacrificed living beings, he wouldn't necessarily make a breakthrough in skills . The more advanced the skills were, the lower would be the possibility of him succeeding . However, the benefit was that he could try next time .
After learning these contents, Zhang Tie's face turned pale as he felt that this bloody sacrifice was like a senior pawnshop or a gambling house . Instead of exchanging or gambling money, it was exchanging and gambling blood and lives . Through bloody sacrifice, Zhang Tie would heal his wounds and make a breakthrough in skills .
'Did this bloody sacrifice hall serve as a special "community hospital" in the far-ancient times? It could not only heal one's "physical diseases" and help one make a breakthrough in skills' . An absurd thought occurred in Zhang Tie's mind .
Zhang Tie shook his head as he tried to be clear-minded, 'I don't care what this bloody sacrifice hall was used for in the far-ancient times; what counts most is that this hall is still available for me now . '
Zhang Tie then put his palm onto that platform where the matrix was set as he started to speak according to the "Holy Bible", "the Constitution" or some solemn classic pledge, "With my blood as the witness, I wish to piously offer enough blood and lives here as the equal and fair exchange for what I want!"
