Just like the King-level Skeleton had said, it seemed to be the powerful force emanating from this Buddhist relic that was confining this space!
And as long as he put away this relic, he could break the confinement of this space and release the wailing spirits and fierce ghosts inside!
"But why should I do that?"
Zhao Letian said with a teasing smile, not in a hurry to move the relic.
He could sense that the spirits and fierce ghosts in the graveyard were full of strong resentment. Releasing them would only bring disaster to the world, and there was absolutely no benefit to be had!
It seemed that this relic was using its own power to purify the resentment on these spirits and fierce ghosts!
At this moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from the body of the old monk, instantly entering Zhao Letian's mind!
Zhao Letian was caught off guard and was about to mobilize the God Destroying Sword to destroy the golden light!
But the next moment, after feeling it carefully, the golden light contained only a force of intent, without any threat, so he did not rush to make a move, and accepted the information conveyed by that intent.
It turned out that the golden light was a strand of the old monk's lingering obsession, telling the story of his experiences from many years ago.
Long ago, when the old monk had just started on his martial path, he wandered everywhere, and later came to visit the famous Lanruo Temple by reputation!
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Lanruo Temple had already been reduced to ruins!
Moreover, at that time, this place was also occupied by a powerful Demon Lord!
The Demon Lord was extremely cruel, capturing a large number of humans from various places, torturing them to death, and tossing their corpses into what is now the graveyard!
As a result, inflamed by rage, the old monk fought with all his might, slaughtered the Demon Lord, and buried the bones of all the tragically deceased humans!
However, to his surprise, those humans who had died tragically had already turned into fierce ghosts filled with powerful resentment, and they constantly harmed the nearby humans!
Out of compassion, the old monk had no choice but to use the power of his own relic to set up this barrier before his lamp of life ran out, hoping to use the Buddha's power to deliver these tragic resentful spirits and fierce ghosts!
But regrettably, man's calculations are no match for the heavens!
Although the old monk had the intention to save others, his strength was not strong enough! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⦿fire.net
The power within his relic was not only unable to purify those resentful spirits, but it even caused those spirits to develop even more powerful resentments!
This led to the current situation!
However, for Zhao Letian, this story was not important!
What was important was that within the old monk's intent, he learned of an extremely shocking piece of news!
That is, this place is not only not the Four Symbols Domain, in fact, it is no longer part of the Qingzhou Continent!
This place is actually the Youzhou Continent mentioned in rumors!
It is said that there are a total of Nine Provinces in the world!
Qingzhou is just one of them!
And Youzhou is another continent, countless thousands of miles away from Qingzhou!
"To go directly from Qingzhou to Youzhou, how will I get back?"
Zhao Letian frowned, speechless in his heart.
The old monk's lingering obsession did not contain much useful information, and as such, Zhao Letian did not know how to return.
Even the relationship between the Ghost King Stele and this place was not clear to him, plus, he also did not know where his father-in-law and the Golden Flood Dragon had been transported to!
"Master, why haven't you broken the relic yet?"
The King-level skeleton outside urged anxiously, its voice tinged with impatience as if it could no longer wait.
If not for its fear of the power of Buddhism, it would have already charged in and shattered the sacred relic.
"What's the rush? It's not impossible for me to take the relic and set you free, but first, you must make a Heavenly Dao Oath and recognize me as your master!"
Zhao Letian did not hurry to take away the relic. Instead, he walked out empty-handed and looked at the huge King-level skeleton with a faint smile.
His control over this King-level skeleton was not solid. If he carelessly took the relic and opened the barrier, there was no guarantee that this thing wouldn't seize the opportunity to flee or even attack him!
Of course, before opening the barrier, he could just have the Corpse Ape directly devour this King-level skeleton to preempt any future troubles!
However, he didn't plan to do that, still thinking that keeping this King-level skeleton might be more useful!
After all, he knew nothing about the Youzhou Continent, and this King-level skeleton, being a local aboriginal, might provide some help.
"Recognize you as master and make a Heavenly Dao Oath? Fine! I can agree to that, but you must also agree to one condition!"
The King-level skeleton hesitated for a moment and spoke in a deep voice.
"What's the condition?"
"After recognizing you as master, you must join me in killing the Demon Clan, preferably wipe out all the members of the Demon Clan on the Youzhou Continent!"
The King-level skeleton said with anger blazing in its eyes.
"Because I am the gathered resentment of those who died miserably! They all perished at the hands of the Demon Clan, their intense resentment towards the Demon Clan will not rest until they are annihilated!"
The King-level skeleton answered.
"Resentment? Here's the deal: I can only promise to kill any Demon Clan member on sight without mercy, but I won't deliberately lead you to hunt them down, and I certainly can't promise to exterminate all the Demon Clan members across the continent. Firstly, I don't have the time, and secondly, I don't have the strength. Of course, if one day I have both the strength and time, perhaps I can consider completely eradicating all Demon Clan on Youzhou Continent! If you can accept my suggestion, then make the Heavenly Dao Oath and recognize me as your master; otherwise, we have nothing more to talk about!"
Zhao Letian said slowly, already making his maximum concession.
If the King-level skeleton was sensible, then that would be best; if not, then it couldn't blame him for being impolite!
The King-level skeleton pondered for a while and then nodded its head.
Then, it made the absolutely unbreakable Heavenly Dao Oath according to Zhao Letian's request and recognized him as its master.
"Good, wait here for me!"
Zhao Letian nodded, very satisfied.
But following that, he did not go in to take the relic; instead, he left Lanruo Temple with several Spiritual Beasts and returned to the cemetery to continue slaughtering the spectral ghosts in the tombs!
These spectral ghosts harbored strong resentment, which Zhao Letian naturally would not let out.
Before opening the barrier, he had to clear out all the spectral ghosts in the cemetery!
This was a good opportunity for him and his Spiritual Beasts like the Corpse Ape to continue enhancing their strength!
Seeing Zhao Letian and several Spiritual Beasts wreaking havoc in the cemetery, the King-level skeleton felt complicated.
It was formed from the resentment of those spectral ghosts, and watching those resentful spirits being killed naturally made it uncomfortable.
But now, it was a servant of Zhao Letian and dared not express any objections.
