Star Trace Gate

Chapter 654: 7-Star Altar

At the end of Youshi.

When Ren Ye and others were resting in the stone house, they suddenly heard heated discussions coming from the corridor outside.

"The time has come. Master Changfeng is about to start the ritual."

“May the blessings of the Lord be with us today.”

"If they really stand on our side, we might have to fight to the death tonight."

"...!"

A group of Taoists walked out of the stone house and gathered in the spacious stone hall to communicate. There were dozens of them.

Ren was also a little curious and wanted to get up and take a look, but considering that he was dying, he ordered A Pu and Tang Feng to go and ask, "Go and find out what's going on!"

"Damn, police dogs are not as useful as us two." Tang Feng complained and walked out of the stone room holding A Pu's hand.

His personality is mainly outgoing and shameless. Even though he had a violent conflict with this group of Taoists today, it did not stop him from asking around.

"Hey, brother." Tang Feng looked at a younger Taoist priest and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why are all the people coming out?"

The Taoist turned his head and saw that the person coming was Tang Feng. His face suddenly turned cold and he said impatiently: "Humph, Uncle Changfeng wants to start a ritual. This is related to whether we can attack tonight."

"Attack? Are you going to attack Gutan Sect?" Tang Feng asked curiously, "But what does this attack have to do with the practice of opening the altar? Metaphysics of using troops?"

"Don't ask so many questions." These Taoists were humiliated by Ren Ye, so naturally they didn't look happy: "I will tell you what I should tell you later."

"Oh."

Tang Feng glanced at him, his eyes rolling around as he said, "Since you don't want to tell me, I'll go ask myself."

After he threw down these words, he revealed a very reckless look and was about to walk deeper into the corridor with A Pu.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The Taoist priest immediately pulled Tang Feng and frowned, saying, "Master Changfeng is about to perform a ritual, you two cannot disturb him."

"I'm curious." Tang Feng put his hands behind his back and said confidently, "I want to go and take a look."

"It's not okay to be curious."

"Is this place yours?" Tang Feng showed an expression that he was about to have a seizure, and said unreasonably: "Don't touch me, I'm weak and will fall down if you touch me. Without forty pills, no one can help me up."

The Taoist's face flushed: "I have never seen such a shameless person...!"

"You tell me yourself, or should I go over and see?" Tang Feng asked, "I'm not lying to you at all. I'm not in a good mental state. I've been in the prison for people who keep watch on the New Year... People there say that I'm a natural mess."

"Ugh."

The Taoist saw that Tang Feng had a stubborn look in his eyes and an excited expression, which did not seem like a mental patient pretending to be one, so he explained helplessly: "The base camp of our attacking side is this bunker, and there is a Seven Star Altar in the bunker. At the end of the evening hour every day, the commander can open the altar and perform a ritual...!"

He was patient, put aside his annoyance, and gave Miss Tang Feng a private lesson on the rules.

……

Seven Star Altar.

Wang Changfeng sat cross-legged with his hair loose and barefoot on the high platform in the center of the altar. His face was peaceful and his eyes were restrained.

Although he looked to be in his forties, he had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very elegant and steady.

That year, the Gutan Sect was attacked in chaos, and the sect leader Tianfeng Zhenren and a number of masters and disciples were captured. There were heavy casualties, and only less than a hundred people were left, and they were all imprisoned in the temple within the sect.

The Order Camp sent 150 masters to the rescue. The leader set up the Seven Star Altar in the bunker and performed rituals before launching the general attack, in order to induce strange phenomena from heaven and earth to descend upon the Gutan Sect, in an attempt to increase the chances of winning the battle.

Tiandao repeats the scene of that year and slightly changes the real situation, providing the attacking side with a very important "core mechanism" in the form of gameplay rules.

At the end of the You hour every day, the commander can hold the attack order here, start a ritual, and randomly obtain a magic weapon prop that is beneficial to the attack.

This mechanism is also privately called the "Gambler's Altar" by this group of Taoists.

Wang Changfeng sat on the altar, his eyes slightly closed, raised his hands and called out: "Attack order!"

"brush!"

A clear light emerged, and a token engraved with the word "attack" emerged from between his eyebrows, emitting a faint light and hovering in front of his face.

"Click on the Seven Star Formation."

He clasped his hands together and chanted a spell. When his fingertips moved slightly, the intricate array patterns on the ground began to shine brightly, and the seven array flags also began to flash and hum like the Big Dipper.

"Open the altar to tell fortunes, ask the heavens for your fate; the Seven Stars Formation is completed, the Big Dipper blesses you - open!!"

Wang Changfeng roared with his hair flying.

"boom!"

A rainbow light shot up into the sky from under the platform, and the entire bunker began to shake violently.

"brush!"

Immediately afterwards, an ancient talisman slowly emerged from in front of the platform, faintly emitting spatial fluctuations.

[Notice to all: Today, Beidou has blessed you with a powerful weapon - a super-quality Thunder Bow and three Thunder Arrows, to help you succeed in the battle.]

[Special reminder: If you don’t use it within five days, the blessing talisman will automatically disappear. ]

The reminder sound of the star gate echoed in the ears of all attacking players for a long time.

Quiet, the whole bunker was silent, you could hear a pin drop.

In the stone room, Ren Ye came back to his senses and immediately muttered, "Super-grade magic weapon, this is amazing...!"

Outside the door, a group of Taoist priests suddenly showed a dim look in their eyes.

On the Seven Star Altar, Wang Changfeng smiled bitterly, staring at the space talisman, and shook his head slightly, saying, "The name may be wrong, but the nickname is definitely not wrong. Mother gave me the nickname Ah Shuai... It was a prophetic act. Oh, forget it, forget it."

After he finished speaking, he stood up helplessly, took the ancient talisman and attack order, and walked down the Seven Star Altar barefoot.

Soon, an old Taoist priest came in and asked softly, "Chief, what are your plans for today?"

"Rest early, give up today's attack time, and wait for tomorrow..." Wang Changfeng replied without hesitation.

"Yes."

……

About ten breaths later, the shouts of the Wanxiang Sect's disciples could be heard in the corridor of the bunker.

"No attack today, rest early!"

"Go back, everyone go back."

"...!"

As the shouts spread, the group of Taoists who were waiting for news in the stone chamber hall suddenly left with their heads hung low and cursing.

Tang Feng was a little curious and couldn't help asking the Taoist priest, "Why are people so unhappy when they have been blessed with a super-quality magic weapon for nothing?"

"It's useless." The Taoist shook his head and said, "The magic weapon is a medium-level blessing, and it can't break the three-way formation of the Gutan Sect. There's no hope today, go back to sleep."

"...Then what kind of blessing can attack?"

"I'm in a bad mood, don't ask."

"If you don't ask, I'll go in and take a look."

"Go, go, go, go quickly." The Taoist waved his hands impatiently and said, "You'd better go and ask Uncle Changfeng mouth to mouth. If he doesn't answer you, you will get sick."

"Eh...you're still talking mouth to mouth. How can you, a monk, speak so dirty?" Tang Feng could respond with anything.

"Humph!"

The Taoist priest snorted coldly and walked away.

Not long after, Tang Feng and A Pu returned to the stone room and started discussing with Ren Ye and others.

"Damn it, this Star Gate is so weird. A lot of the rules and information are made public, but we still have to ask around." Tang Feng commented with a curse.

Ren was also lying on the bed, frowning and commenting: "No wonder the Wanxiang Sect has monopolized this place, but still has not passed the test of the secret realm. This super-grade magic weapon can't make everyone happy... It seems that the chaotic madmen on the opposite side are very difficult characters."

"There is also a large formation. From what I heard from the Taoist priest, the opposing defense has a very powerful large formation." Tang Feng replied.

"Ah."

After Ren nodded slightly, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it for today. Everyone should go to bed early. I don't know what we will do tomorrow."

"Good night, my darling."

"Come on, come on, Brother Gou. I'll read the enlightenment books with you at night and sleep on the same pillow with you." A Pu greeted him with a little addiction.

Dog brother did not refuse: "Wash your feet properly."

Amidst the laughter and scolding, the group of people went to rest.

……

The next morning.

After breakfast, Wang Changfeng saw Ren Ye, who was "dying", in his stone room.

He slumped in the chair with a pale face, clasped his fists and said, "I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that evil spirits were haunting me and I was exhausted. Today I can't even sit still. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Senior Wang."

"It's okay. You can take the nourishing spirit pill first. When it's gone, I'll give you two more." Wang Changfeng sat on the cushion with an upright posture, and it seemed that he didn't want to argue with Ren Ye or bargain at all.

Ren Ye perked up a little after hearing this, and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry to have cost you money again."

"No need to be polite."

Wang Changfeng waved his hand and asked bluntly, "You five came here to look for someone?"

"Yes."

Ren Ye saw that the other party took the initiative to bring up this topic, so he immediately asked: "Senior, have you seen a six-member team led by Mingquan in this star gate?"

Wang Changfeng pondered for a while: "Did you understand the winning rules announced by Tiandao?"

"I understand." Ren nodded and said, "As long as we can invade the heartland of Gutan Sect and awaken Taoist Tianfeng, we will win."

"Then do you know why Tiandao did not announce the winning rules for the chaotic defenders on the opposite side?" Wang Changfeng asked again.

Ren Ye thought for a moment before replying, "Is this something that Heaven is intentionally hiding?"

"Yes." Wang Changfeng nodded: "The winning rule for the defending side is to capture fifty-one attacking players."

When Ren Ye heard this, his scalp tingled instantly: "You mean...!"

"When the Gutan Sect's secret realm was just opened, only more than 60 people from my Wanxiang Sect came, and the rest were all independent people with supernatural powers." Wang Changfeng replied: "We fought for two days, and everyone fought on their own. There were heavy casualties, and many people were captured. Because we spent very little time together, and I had not yet entered the sect, I don't know the team you mentioned."

Ren Ye said blankly: "You mean, the person I'm looking for has been captured, or is already dead?!"

"The probability of them being captured is a little higher, because when I calculated the casualties, I didn't remember there was a six-man team." Wang Changfeng replied: "Assuming they are really captured, then if you want to save people, you must ensure one thing."

Ren Ye was silent.

"Be obedient, follow instructions, and don't make trouble. Because with just the five of you, you will never be able to rescue the person you are looking for." Wang Changfeng added with a smile.
