s much simpler than that above ground, with fewer rules and regulations, making Fang Yu's vision remarkably clear.Fang Yu frowned and looked straight down. He soon saw a tiny outline.This figure shoul..."Baptism" Fang Yu frowned.

“According to the Bone Eater King’s memory, it was a ray of holy energy from the Temple that would sweep over the bodies of everyone who approached it,” Chen Qian said. “The Bone Eater King called it ‘baptism.’”

"So, if we humans were baptized...wouldn't we be discovered" Fang Yu asked with a frown.

"It's highly probable, that's why I stopped you." Chen Qianan said.

"Can you solve this problem" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, I have mastered a smelting technique," Chen Qian'an said, his right hand flipping over to reveal two red pills the size of his thumb.

“These are blood pellets made from the corpses of several Shadowkin. Dissolving these two pellets into your skin will allow you to perfectly mimic all the characteristics of a Shadowkin.” Chen Qian'an said, “I think… it should be possible to pass through the Temple’s baptism this way.”

"This is the Shadow Temple. Are you sure your little tricks will work" Tianji Daoist frowned.

Chen Qianyuan glanced at Tianji Daoist and said, "Anyway, you don't need to go in with me. Just watch carefully outside."

Having said that, Chen Qianan handed Fang Yu a so-called blood pill.

Fang Yu took the blood pill.

The moment his fingers touched the blood bullet, he knew what it was forged from.

It must have been forged from the flesh and blood of the Shadowkin.

Fang Yu held the blood pill, but Chen Qianyuan had already used it, dissolving it into the qi of his body protecting energy.

The blood pellet transformed into blood qi and soon vanished.

Chen Qian'an outwardly didn't seem much different, but at a closer look, his aura was indeed different from before.

Fang Yu didn't hesitate and used the blood pill.

In that way, a subtle shift occurred in the air between them.

"I'll be right here waiting for you to come out." Tiānjī Dàorén said, "Contact me anytime if anything happens."

Fang Yu nodded and turned to walk forward with Chen Qian'an.

As we reached this area, the terrain became very flat.

The ground was covered in gray-white gravel, with some yellowish weeds growing amongst it.

And upon the plain, there lay a road clearly man-made.

On the avenue, there is no sign of anyone at this moment.

After seeing the great road, Chen Qinan motioned for Fang Yu to land from the air.

"Shall we go inside from the main road" Fang Yu asked. "It seems like there are no other people here."

“It’s not a day of worship today, so of course no one is here,” Chen Qinan said.

Two people descended from the sky and landed on the avenue. They walked forward along the avenue.

Both sides of the avenue were paved with gravel, and all around was silent except for the sound of their footsteps.

"By the way, wasn't it said that only high-ranking members could come to the temple for worship" Fang Yu asked, "Then our disguise as ordinary Shadow Clan people shouldn't..."

"Those two pills were made from the flesh and blood of King Shellingbone and Fran," Chen Qian'an replied calmly. "So... there shouldn't be a problem."

"Oh" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did you do it"

"Right after you left the corché Manor, I used the smelting technique to refine blood pills. It didn't take too long," Chen Qian smiled faintly. "Since seeing the corché King's memories, I've been ready for this."

Fang Yu nodded gently and said nothing more.

The two walked forward, but the scenery around them remained unchanged.

Even looking far into the distance, there wasn't a single towering building to be seen, only endless plains.

The so-called Shadow Temple, not even a shadow could be seen.

“We must await the baptism of the Shadow Temple,” Chen Qianan said. “Only after the baptism can we see the Shadow Temple.”

The two continued walking forward, for nearly an hour.

The surroundings are still largely unchanged, and there have been no unusual occurrences.

Fang Yu was very patient, while Chen Qian'an walked and walked, showing a look of doubt on his face, and stopped.

"What's wrong" Fang Yu asked.

Chen Qian'an was just about to speak.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a complex and intricate seal suddenly appeared on the ground beneath their feet.

A burst of light emanated from the seal, sweeping upwards from bottom to top, over Fang Yu and Chen Qian'an.

This process lasted for about a minute.

There were no other feelings during that time.

Chen Qianyuan's face was grim, clearly worried that his disguise would be discovered.

But as the light swept over his head, the surrounding scenery began to fade.

"Whoosh!"

Everything within sight rippled like water, changing slowly.

At this time, the feeling in my body was a little strange.

Just like traversing a space tunnel in the past, there was a feeling of lightness, but it was very subtle and fleeting.

But once that feeling faded, the surrounding scenery was completely different from before.

The road beneath their feet still remained, but along its sides, torches were now arranged in perfect order, bathing the entire path in a dull, flickering light.

The sky suddenly turned into night.

Everything except the path illuminated by the torch was pitch black.

Fang Yu raised his eyes and looked forward. About three hundred meters away, there seemed to be a building with a rather unusual shape.

It resembles a pagoda in appearance, but upon closer inspection, it is different, especially at the top of the building. It looks like a large tray, but it is pitch black and empty.

In front of the building, there are extremely steep steps, over fifty meters high.

Above the steps, the gate is out of sight. There is only a gray stone tablet with no inscription standing there.

"Oh…"

At that moment, a cold wind swept through, accompanied by a long, eerie wail.

"Are you sure... this is the Temple" Fang Yu turned to Chen Qian'an, frowning.

The surroundings here don't match the 'sacred' aspect of the temple at all. Instead, there's a strange and terrifying atmosphere.

Chen Qian'an remained silent, his eyes fixed on the building ahead, their expression constantly shifting.

Then, he strode forward.

Fang Yu silently followed behind.

Two figures walked towards the Shadow Temple, one after the other.

As they approached the steps leading to the Shadow Sanctuary, a sudden burst of light erupted before them.

A semi-transparent wall stood between Chen Qianyuan and Fang Yu, as if signaling them to stop.

Chen Qianan stopped walking.

Fang Yu also stopped, and the two looked up together at the blank stone tablet above the steps.

"What does this blank stone slab mean At least write a few words on it, whether you understand it or not," Fang Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qianan turned his head to look at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with surprise as he asked, "Benefactor, did you see an empty stone tablet"

"That's right, isn't it...Did you see something different from what I saw" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Chen Qianyuan shook his head and said, "Yes, I didn't see the blank stone tablet you mentioned..."

"Hmm" Fang Yu frowned slightly, then asked, "What did you see"

"I saw... a person," Chen Qinan looked up, squinting slightly, and said, "There's someone standing on the platform, staring right at us."dozens, perhaps even hundreds of kilometers, would likely suffer devastating consequences.Therefore, there's no option to dodge; it has to be a head-on collision.Fang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, his...
