294 The High Priest’s Weakness, The Reversal Altar

In fact, there was nothing special in the entire cave. The reason why Ye Xuan and the others were troubled was entirely because of the large number of arrays and restrictions carved here, in addition to the influence of those creatures.

When the high priest removed the array, the whole cave was revealed.

“Looks like you’ve managed this place well after you woke up.”

Ye Xuan’s words were very vague. There were some things he didn’t dare to ask too clearly. Although the high priest was a fanatic and wouldn’t think that Ye Xuan wasn’t possessed at all, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t notice something.

Hearing his praise, the high priest was obviously very excited. “All of this was planned and arranged well by you, Master. I just supported it with my little bit of power.”

Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with understanding, and he continued.

“A thousand years ago, I set up this harmony for the future. It seems that my efforts were not in vain. However, you have also contributed to this. High priest, you don’t have to belittle yourself.”

To be able to obtain the master’s appreciation was simply his supreme honor. The high priest was so excited that he couldn’t speak.

It seemed that it was similar to Ye Xuan’s guess. These things were all done by the so-called ‘Master’. He originally thought that these were all done by the high priest, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

After all, no matter how formidable he was, the high priest couldn’t reach this level. But if the ‘Master’ was involved, it would make sense. The high priest was at most a chess piece, and the link he was responsible for was only an important part. His goal was to awaken the true chess player.

According to the high priest’s tone and Ye Xuan’s guess, even if the ‘Master’ really descended, it was only a clone that possessed Ye Xuan. The conversation later also confirmed his guess.

“Master is wise. You have been planning for a thousand years and everything is under your control. We are really far behind you. One day, if you complete all your plans, Master, your footprints will be all over the world!”

Ye Xuan caught the key phrase “all your plans” in the high priest’s words. Was this not the only similar one?

Since the previous secret realm was also related to this place, in addition to the layout of the bone dragon and the cave, it was not surprising that there were other places.

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered and he said, “I just woke up. Maybe there’s a problem somewhere, and my memory from a thousand years ago is missing. Do you know what’s the situation in other places?”

The high priest was obviously a little surprised, but he didn’t suspect anything. He only suspected that something had gone wrong with his sacrifice, which led to Ye Xuan’s current situation.

“I’m guilty, please spare my life, Master.”

“It’s fine. I don’t blame you for this. After all, a thousand years is too long. It’s only natural that there will be changes. However, the outcome is still not bad.”

The high priest saw that Ye Xuan did not blame him and could not help but sigh in relief.

The high priest continued, “I do not know. After all, this is a confidential matter. At that time, you only told me to take care of this place. As for the other places, I think there should be someone else in charge of them.”

The high priest’s words made Ye Xuan half happy and half sad.

He was happy that the high priest didn’t know anything about the other places, which would prevent Ye Xuan from being exposed in the following tests.

He was worried because he didn’t know if there were truly any other places. However, according to his guess, this so-called ‘Master’ was very powerful and his origin was a mystery. It was very likely that he had other plans.

“About those humanoid creatures. Can they still be created?”

Ye Xuan originally wanted to ask if there was any way to completely destroy them but considering that this question was too straightforward, no matter how stupid the high priest was, it would be easy for him to become suspicious, so Ye Xuan changed his method.

The high priest was slightly surprised and blurted out, “You’ve even forgotten this?” When he saw Ye Xuan’s extremely cold gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver and change his words.

“I deserve to die, but I don’t know. You gave me the right to control them, but I don’t know where these creatures come from. I’m afraid it’ll be a little difficult to continue creating them.”

The high priest carefully waited for Ye Xuan’s thunderous rage. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan’s expression was normal, and he didn’t seem angry at all.

“If that’s the case, then forget it. I have my own arrangements and plans.”

The two of them had unknowingly walked around the cave and returned to the altar.

Ye Xuan had already discovered that these humanoid monsters weren’t very intelligent, and with the pressure from the strange heart on him, the monsters were very respectful when they hid in the dark and didn’t notice anything strange.

The most likely place to achieve anything big out of this cave was this altar.

Back then, the strange heart had descended into this world with the help of the altar’s power. It should be extremely difficult to destroy it in front of the high priest, but if they were to reverse the altar…

As Ye Xuan thought of this, he subconsciously said it aloud.

The high priest’s expression changed and he knelt on the ground. He replied in a trembling voice, “But what did I do wrong? Please tell me, Master. If the altar is reversed, I’m afraid the entire cave, including me, will fall into a long sleep again.”

He had just woken up from a long sleep. If the altar’s power reversed and he fell back into a long sleep, then it would be no different from death.

The high priest didn’t suspect that Ye Xuan had any other intentions and wanted him dead on purpose. He thought that it was his actions that made Ye Xuan unhappy.

Ye Xuan was taken aback. A smile flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to his original appearance.

Ye Xuan did not expect that he would find the high priest’s weakness so easily.
