ween heaven and earth, a vast expanse of white. Large flakes of snow continuously fall from the sky, as if they will never stop.Standing in the midst of this pristine snow, Jiang Yun closed his eyes,...For Jiangyun's decision, Zhanchou didn't find it surprising.

Because in his mind, Ginger Cloud now had no other choice but to cooperate with him.

Zen Chou smiled slightly, sizing Ginger Cloud up and down. "You don't seem to be injured, just with a massive loss of vitality. I have some pills here that can replenish your life force."

As he spoke, Zhan Chou had already thrown a bottle of pills to Jiang Yun.

After ginger cloud took it, his divine sense swept over it. Although he could tell that it was indeed a pill that restored vitality, ginger cloud returned the bottle to Zhan Chou and said bluntly, "I don't trust you!"

Zhan Chou said indifferently, "Then you need some time to recover your vitality"

You've waited this long, you shouldn't mind waiting a few more moments!

After uttering that sentence, Jiang Yun sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and began to recover his vitality. He seemed not worried at all that Zhan Chou would take the opportunity to attack him.

Jan Chou gave Ginger Cloud a cold look and sat down where he was.

But his gaze shifted to the round stone tablet behind Jiang Yun, a contemplative expression appearing on his face.

This stone tablet, although Ginger Cloud was seeing it for the first time, Zhan Chou had encountered it during his last visit here. He also knew there was more than one.

He studied it for ages but couldn't figure out what it was or what it did.

However, just now he saw with his own eyes that Jiang Yun placed his palm on this stone tablet and stood still. He also saw the runes on top of the stone tablet, seeming to flash a light!

Could it be that this Ginger Cloud knows the function of this stone tablet

Though Zhan Chou publicly showed affection for Jiang Yun, he always harbored doubts about her in his heart.

From the first time I met Jiang Yun, until now, as I've learned more and more about him, my suspicions have not diminished, but rather grown larger.

A cultivator who was merely at the Heaven's Favor Realm, not only possessed the abilities of a Beast Tamer and excelled in physical strength, but also was a Sword Cultivator.

Especially in this realm of nine colors, even powerful warriors like Chang Li and Zhan Tianli were taken over by demonic beasts. Yet, he was able to return safely.

Even, he killed a demon beast!

None knows the terror of these monsters better than Zhan Chou.

Because the last time they brothers came here, they had fought with a monster, no, it should be said that they had fought with part of a monster's body!

The final result was that Zhan Yuan's soul was taken, and he had to pretend to know nothing and work for the demon beast!

However, the fact that Jiang Yun was able to kill a demonic beast was something Jian Chou simply couldn't fathom. He couldn't imagine how Jiang Yun had managed to do it.

"Damn it, we've come to this, and you're still so cautious you won't even take my pills! But if you really can kill those demonic beasts then, I'll naturally have a way to deal with you!"

Zhan Qiu withdrew his gaze from the stele and once again gave Jiang Yun a sinister glance. Just then, Wei Jiu's voice suddenly rang in his ear through sound transmission.

After hearing Wei Jiu's transmission, he had to stand up and face Jiang Yun: "Jiang Daoist, I have something to attend to and need to leave for a while. Please wait for me here!"

After finishing his words, Zhan Chou stood up and directly turned to run into the depths of the white mist.

With Zhan Chou's departure, Jiang Yun opened his eyes and glanced in the direction Zhan Chou had left. A hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

In fact, Ginger Cloud wanted to restore vitality here for a true purpose: to wait until the vitality was sufficient before lighting the last stone tablet.

Because it's impossible to fully trust everything Jianchou says.

He had to see with his own eyes what the center of the Nine-Colored Realm looked like, how many demon beasts there were, only then could he have a clear understanding.

However, he didn't want to let Zhan Chou know that he knew the secret of the stele, so he was also considering how to light it up without letting Zhan Chou know.

To my surprise, Zhan Chou is now leaving on his own accord.

Although Gingercloud doesn't know what Zhanchou is doing, this is truly a blessing from heaven.

As a surge of vitality poured into his body, Ginger Cloud's life force recovered by half in just a few moments. This allowed him to turn his head once more and fix his gaze on the stone tablet behind him.

Now, Ginger Cloud only has one uncertainty: if she casts the Heavenly Offering Ritual again, will she need to illuminate the remaining eight stone tablets first before illuminating the last one

If that were the case, then one would be unable to light the last stone monument unless they exhausted all their vitality.

But now Ginger Cloud couldn't afford to think about it anymore. Zhan Chou could return at any time, and before he did, she had to try.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun didn't hesitate to stretch out his palm and place it on the stele. The vitality that had just recovered surged into him once again.

As each rune lit up, a radiance enveloped Jiang Yun's body, allowing his divine sense to once again enter the stone tablet.

And yet, upon the stone tablet, a feeling remained, but it was no longer a yearning, but a kind of exhilaration.

It seems this heaven and earth altar has become familiar with Jiang Yun's aura.

This made Ginger Cloud's heart skip a beat. He wondered if it was possible that this Celestial Altar, just like the Jeti Void Cauldron, had also given birth to a spirit within it.

Therefore, Jiangyun also hastily tried to communicate with the other party: "Can you light up the last stone stele"

Sure enough, a response came quickly from within the altar.

However, this response is a bit vague.

As a spirit-refiner, Jiang Yun immediately realized that a spirit had indeed been born within the altar. However, it hadn't fully grown and was only at the stage of rudimentary consciousness.

Just like those black shadows.

Because from its response, Gingercloud sensed a hint of anxiety, and her gaze was uncontrollably drawn in one direction.

In a place of white mist, there is a figure continuously striking the ground.

Jiang Yun recognized the figure as Zhan Chou, who had just left not long ago. This made him puzzled about Zhan Chou's actions: "What is he doing"

Under Jiang Yun's gaze, Zhan Chou, who was attacking the ground, seemed to sense something. He suddenly stopped his attack, raised his head, looked around, and frowned.

Ginger Cloud, however, ignored him and continued to look at the ground in front of Zhan Chou. Her gaze pierced straight through it, seeing deep into the earth.

Until he saw a spider as large as a hundred zhang, and on top of the spider's head sat a bewitching figure cross-legged—Zi Zhu!

At this moment, Zizhu's eyes are tightly closed, and a painful expression is etched on her beautiful face.

Seeing this scene, Ginger Cloud naturally understood.

This spider is the monster that was imprisoned here, and now it's clearly stealing Zi Zhu's soul.

And Zhan Chou's attack on the earth was probably to release it prematurely.

This is also the reason why a sense of urgency surrounds this altar.

"Spider, purple bamboo!"

Jiang Yun suddenly realized that he had always ignored one thing.

The demonic beasts imprisoned here don't seem to be able to seize the souls of any cultivator at will. For them to succeed in soul snatching, the cultivator whose soul is being snatched must possess certain characteristics!

"And their targets for stealing souls aren't necessarily limited to humans. Just like this purple bamboo, she is also a spider, but she has cultivated into a human form. However, she has become the target of soul-stealing as well!"

This means that Zhan Chou found Chang Li and Zi Zhu, not randomly, but because they met their requirements!

Then, what exactly were their soul-stealing demands

Just as Jiang Yun was pondering this question ——

In the distance, that last stone tablet suddenly lit up!
