Fortunately, Jiang Jichen's reaction was astonishingly fast. In the instant the lights flared up, he had already ducked into the nearby Stone Forest.
From within the Stone Forest, he could see everything in the valley from a distance.
The valley was wide and open. In its center stood a huge, circular stone platform about half a meter high, its surface deeply carved with intricate, ancient patterns.
Now, these patterns were filled with fresh blood, transforming them into countless crimson lines.
The sight was shocking to behold.
It was all human blood. One could only imagine how many people had to die to fill such a vast network of deep grooves.
Moreover, the quality of this Blood Qi was exceptionally high, harvested from extraordinary Cultivators.
At the center of the stone platform rested an Ancient Coffin, also covered in intricate, ancient patterns. The blood could seep directly up onto it, following the grooves.
Eventually, it covered the entire Ancient Coffin.
