Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Mount Song, the central peak of the Five Sacred Mountains, is located in the heart of the world!

Among the Five Sacred Mountains, Mount Tai and Mount Song are the most special. Mount Tai was worshipped by emperors of all generations and became the foremost famous mountain in the world. Mount Song, although not as dominant as Mount Tai, was also a place for the Fengshan ceremony.

Throughout history, Mount Song has been the birthplace of countless legends and is also one of the important centers of Buddhism on Earth.

When Li Lan arrived at this place, he found that the former scenic area had been closed off and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Li Lan entered through a small path and strolled through the forest. The serene scenery came into view, and he could see many ancient temples.

"It's not quite the same as the Songshan Mountain of the past... A secret realm has manifested!"

Li Lan was solemn. During his university days, he had already traveled extensively through the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains, and he had climbed this mountain before, so he had an impression of it. However, the view of Songshan Mountain that he saw now was completely different.

The area is much larger than before, with many new peaks that have never appeared before.

When spiritual energy is cut off, those blessed lands and grotto-heavens that once belonged to cultivators are essentially "folded" and hidden away, only to reappear when enough spiritual energy is sensed. This is why there are such great changes in space.

“There are cultivators stationed here.”

Li Lan was very careful. Although his cultivation was extremely high, this place might involve "them". Therefore, he did not even use his divine sense, but instead used the Great Dao Heavenly Eye to secretly observe.

Several powerful figures were discovered.

Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely seen in the outside world, there were at least seven or eight stationed between the mountain peaks ahead. In fact, between two peaks that resembled a pass, Li Lan discovered a Core Formation cultivator!

A human.

These cultivators were all lying in wait, seemingly guarding this place.

"What exactly does the Li family want to do here?"

Li Lan pondered, "Even a trump card like the Core Formation stage cultivator has been deployed, this place must be extremely important to the Li family!"

He quietly bypassed the protection of these cultivators, passed through the mountain pass guarded by Core Formation cultivators, and a vast secret realm finally revealed itself before him:

It was an ancient temple with countless halls and buildings, but almost all of them were dilapidated and decayed, like a mottled painting!

In the center of that arena stood a massive altar, upon which stood a colossal cauldron, hundreds of meters tall, emanating a profound and mysterious aura that instilled a sense of awe in everyone, as if that cauldron were the only one of its kind in the world!

"What kind of object is this?"

Even Li Lan, who had seen countless masters in the underworld and even fought against gods in the mortal world, could not see through the origin of this giant cauldron!

The giant cauldron emanated a powerful secret force, forming indescribable mysterious rules. It seemed that the secret realm was right in front of them, and the cauldron was within reach, but if one wanted to get close, they could never touch it.

"Is this giant cauldron the target of the Li family and those mysterious people?"

Li Lan pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze and discovered some incense tables, array plates, and other items outside the secret realm. In addition to pigs, cattle, and sheep, there were also traces of human blood!

"A Fengshan ceremony to worship the mountain?!"

Li Lan was surprised. Judging from these traces, it seemed that someone was imitating the ancient Fengshan ceremony and attempting to perform a sacrifice!

Is the Fengshan ceremony the key to unlocking this secret realm?

"No, no!"

But then, Li Lan discovered something strange.

In ancient China, sacrifices were divided into two types: human sacrifices and animal sacrifices!

Human sacrifice is the oldest practice, with records dating back to the beginning of history. However, as history progressed, human sacrifice was gradually replaced, and animal sacrifice became the mainstream practice.

Among the livestock, the "Tai Lao" ceremony was the most solemn. The Tai Lao involved a pig, a cow, and a sheep, and it was generally only performed when worshipping heaven and earth.

Although animal sacrifice became the mainstream, human sacrifice continued to exist and was always of a higher level than animal sacrifice.

If both human sacrifice and animal sacrifice are performed at the same time, then human sacrifice must be the main one and animal sacrifice the secondary one.
