"Sign in."
Jun Xiaoyao silently recited in his heart.
"Congratulations to the Host for signing in and receiving a ten-star reward: a master sacrificial token!"
As the System's voice faded.
A dark, eerie token suddenly appeared before Jun Xiaoyao.
This dark, eerie token was incredibly ancient, neither gold nor wood, neither stone nor jade; its material was unidentifiable.
It exuded an extremely ancient aura.
On the token, the ancient characters of the Primordial Era carved the number "five."
The reason Jun Xiaoyao recognized the Primordial Era characters was because the Jun Family's Scripture Pavilion contained numerous ancient texts from that era.
Looking at this so-called master sacrificial token, Jun Xiaoyao inexplicably felt a series of heart palpitations.
This dark, eerie master sacrificial token did not emit any special fluctuations.
Not to mention Emperor Weapons, even the aura of a supreme artifact seemed infinitely more powerful than this master sacrificial token.
But Jun Xiaoyao always felt a slight tremor in his heart.
Given his Heart-Nature, for him to have such a feeling, it was clear how mysterious this master sacrificial token was.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed to see countless creatures' fresh blood staining this master sacrificial token.
And just as Jun Xiaoyao signed in for the master sacrificial token.
The entire Nine Heavens seemed to be enveloped by a faint Qi.
Within the Holy Spirit Ruins, one of the Ten Forbidden Zones, ancient existences were startled.
"Oh, that aura, could it be…"
In another Forbidden Zone, the Immortal Mausoleum, equally powerful existences were surprised.
"It is indeed that aura. It seems this 'Great Cleansing' will be the most terrifying in history."
In the Emperor's Fall Divine Mountain, one of the Ten Forbidden Zones, strong individuals also spoke coldly.
"For a long time, after the one from the Reincarnation Sea was severely injured and fell into slumber by Wu Zhong, that position has been vacant."
"Now, there are finally successors. I wonder which Forbidden Zone's Supreme existence it is. Let me try to deduce."
However, after some deductions, this Supreme from the Emperor's Fall Divine Mountain showed an unprecedented look of surprise and doubt.
"Cannot be deduced. It seems it is indeed a Lord of a Forbidden Zone who has shielded the Karma, making it impossible to be spied upon. Never mind, it's better not to offend."
"It seems this Master Sacrificial Ceremony will make history. Perhaps someone truly can step into that place and achieve ultimate sublimation…"
At this moment, throughout the Nine Heavens, in the various Forbidden Zones, ancient existences were startled, then speculated and deduced.
Not only in the Nine Heavens.
Even in the Immortal Realm, some ancient, supremely powerful forces vaguely sensed it.
And these powerful individuals who could sense it were all incredibly ancient, having lived through several epochs.
Some had even personally experienced a terrifying Turmoil in the past.
"Indeed, is it still unavoidable?"
"Even if Wu Zhong reappears in this era's Turmoil, he may not be able to suppress it."
In the depths of the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy, a descendant of one of the Immortal Academy's founders shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with worry.
In the Immortal Court, the Emperor of the Fuxi Immortal Lineage was also deep in thought.
"In past Turmoils, the Immortal Court was not affected, and the Immortal Court only symbolically saved the common people."
"But now, it is the weakest period for our Immortal Court throughout all epochs. We need to prepare in advance."
If it were in its heyday, with the Nine Great Immortal Lineages gathered in the Immortal Court.
Then the so-called Nine Heavens Turmoil could naturally be ignored.
But now, the Immortal Court itself was on the verge of splitting, weathering a storm.
At this time, it was hard to guarantee that the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
The Immortal Court's foundation was extremely profound; even in its current semi-divided state, it was still a colossal entity.
And even so, the Immortal Court dared not take this potentially greatest Turmoil in history lightly.
In a mysterious place in the Immortal Realm, Yin Qi was dense, with Yin soldiers passing by and hundreds of ghosts roaming at night.
This was one of the ten halls of the Underworld.
A hoarse, cold voice sounded.
"That fluctuation, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the appearance of a new Chief Priest."
"The one from the Reincarnation Sea, who was severely injured by Wu Zhong last time, has been in slumber until now, with no successor."
"It seems this era will truly be the most terrifying super Turmoil in history, an epic Great Cleansing. We have hope of witnessing history."
"How exciting! This is also the best Opportunity for our Underworld to rise…"
Jun Xiaoyao had no idea.
The master sacrificial token he had signed in for had caused a stir throughout the Nine Heavens and the Immortal Realm.
Of course, only the most powerful Supreme beings had a premonition.
Ordinary sentient beings and common strong individuals could not sense anything at all.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao carefully examined the master sacrificial token, lost in thought.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had incredible luck, always signing in for high-star rewards.
Ten-star rewards, however, were still very rare.
Generally speaking, if a ten-star reward was an item, it definitely carried great Karma.
For example, the Black Blood of the Heavens.
Jun Xiaoyao still felt that the Black Blood of the Heavens had an extraordinary origin.
There must be deeper secrets behind it.
It was just that he couldn't access them yet.
And this master sacrificial token was the same.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
He remembered what Yun Tianlai had said about the Master Sacrificial Ceremony.
Only when the Master Sacrificial Ceremony began might the ancient existences in the Immortal Mausoleum awaken.
What exactly was this Master Sacrificial Ceremony?
And what did the master sacrificial token signify?
The master sacrificial token had the character "five" carved on it.
This meant there were at least five master sacrificial tokens.
Who held the other four?
And what was the purpose of this master sacrificial token?
Where did it come from, and who created it?
What was the relationship between the master sacrificial token, the Master Sacrificial Ceremony, and the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones?
And what was its connection to the Darkness Turmoil?
For a moment, numerous questions popped into Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
It could be said that if it were anyone else, they would find all of this too complex and profound.
It was definitely not something a young Prodigy could fully investigate.
But the light in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes grew even brighter.
"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. How many secrets does the Nine Heavens still hold?"
"It doesn't matter. On this journey to the Nine Heavens, I will uncover all the secrets."
Jun Xiaoyao rubbed the master sacrificial token in his hand, looked at the bright moon, and thought to himself.
Then, Jun Xiaoyao placed the master sacrificial token into his Inner Universe.
He felt that the master sacrificial token would definitely come in handy at a crucial moment.
After all, it was a ten-star reward; how could it have no use at all?
"Alright, next, I'll first investigate the situation in the Nine Heavens," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
He was still completely clueless about the Nine Heavens' layout, not even knowing where the Immortal Mausoleum was located.
Jun Xiaoyao walked through the starry expanse of the Nine Heavens.
Suddenly, he felt something, sensing a rich Spiritual Qi in the distance, similar to the aura of an Undying Medicine.
With Jun Xiaoyao's current Ganges Grade Three Lifetimes Primordial Spirit, his Divine Soul perception range could be said to cover a vast expanse of the world.
Such an investigation was naturally a piece of cake for him.
"Could it be that I just arrived in the Nine Heavens and already encountered a treasure trove of Opportunity?"
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but show a strange look in his eyes.
Although the Nine Heavens were rich in Spiritual Qi and had countless Secret Realm treasure lands.
His luck was simply too good.
Jun Xiaoyao thought, moving forward.
Not long after.
His eyes showed surprise.
Because before him was an extremely vast Void Realm crack, like a deep abyss.
It stretched across the Universe like a great rift valley.
But what surprised Jun Xiaoyao was not the abyss rift itself.
Instead, around this abyss, there were scattered ancient remnant arrays, exuding an extremely terrifying and sharp aura.
Jun Xiaoyao was not too unfamiliar with this aura.
"This is… the Wu Zhong Killing Array?"
