Green Mist Mountain was swathed in miasmic vapors, with a clearing at the waist of the mountain.
This place was used all year round for the Great Sacrificial Rite of the Ancient Clan, the blood spilt during the rites dyeing the top layer of soil a purple-red hue.
Members of the Ancient Tattoo Clan would grind bones of varying lengths and bind them with tough ox sinews into a skeleton, resembling a meditating person.
In the abdominal area of the human-shaped skeleton, a small Netherworld Stone was placed, and then it would be wrapped with human skin.
This was the precursor ritual of the Ancient Tattoo Clan during the Blood Sacrifice — the Human Skin Temple.
The Copper Coin Priest took out a bone needle nurtured for many years, mixing blood, tree sap, and finely ground bone powder as pigments, and tattooing Zhou Xuan's face onto the human skin in the form of a tattoo map.
