Chapter 573: Founding Ceremony
Another half a month passed quickly.
This day was the important day of the founding ceremony of Xuan Daoism, and the Xuanyuan Island formation was fully opened. A large number of huge sea ships were anchored outside Xuanyuan Island. Many cultivators from Xumi Sea and sea clan cultivators from the Abyss Sea all flocked here.
Fortunately, Xuan Yazi had expected this situation to happen. More than a month ago, he recruited a large number of cultivators in the nearby seas, opened up a huge port in the sea area corresponding to the water and fire valley spiritual land, and arranged a large formation to protect it.
Because of the appearance of the sea clan, the atmosphere at the seaport suddenly became a little tense. The notice issued by Xuan Daoism claimed that Xuan Daoism would not restrict the identity of its disciples, whether it was the human race, the sea clan, or the demon clan who was sincere in Taoism, as long as they met the conditions for Xuan Daoism to recruit disciples and were sincerely willing to join Xuan Daoism, Xuan Daoism would recruit them.
In this way, not only the Xumi Sea was shaken, but also the Demon Sea and the Abyss Sea were shaken. Even the various Shuiyuan caves under the deep sea were shaken.
This is the most peculiar and strange sect in history, which does not limit the origin and identity of disciples. It may not be the first time since the creation of the world, but since the collapse of the ancient heavenly way, all sects in the world have withered, and the sectarianism has deepened. Each tribe is extremely strict about the cultivation methods of their own tribe, and will never allow their own methods to be passed on. This Xuandao Sect is good, and it will recruit regardless of tribe.
Some people come with the mentality of watching the fun, some come with sincerity, and some may come with bad intentions.
In the air of this harbor, there are dozens of warships and spaceships of different sizes, and two flying beasts of a thousand feet in size. There are nearly a hundred large and small sea ships parked on the water. Underwater, there are also many Shuiyuan monsters gathered.
The main sect of Xuan Daoism is located on the spiritual land of Water and Fire Valley. Over the years, Xuan Yazi has not been idle. After breaking the forbidden array boundary wall of the spiritual land of Water and Fire Valley, he used this natural forbidden array boundary wall as the array base to newly practice a special forbidden array to protect the core of the entire Xuan Daoism sect.
No matter what situation it encounters, this forbidden array can manifest its power at any time and anywhere, so it is not afraid of someone making trouble during the opening ceremony.
At this time, the door of the Wuji Suoyuan Array was wide open, and the door of the boundary forbidden array was also wide open. After the big array was opened, the crowd gathered outside the harbor of Xuanyuan Island saw two teams of Xuan Daoism disciples in uniform stepping on auspicious clouds and walking out of the big array, standing in the void with a heavy momentum.
This is naturally due to the power of the Wuji Suoyuan Array of Xuanyuan Island. Outsiders don’t know the mystery, and they think that the disciples of Xuan Daoism have practiced some magical skills to be able to take clouds as their seats, and they can’t help but be more curious about Xuan Daoism.
As the two teams of welcoming disciples walked out in succession, a passage formed by colorful clouds formed between the two teams of welcoming disciples.
This colorful cloud passage was about 100 feet from the ground and about 10 feet wide, leading all the way from the seaport to the foot of Bijia Mountain where the founding ceremony of Xuan Daoism was held.
With the help of several Xuan Daoism disciples, the crowd walked orderly along this colorful cloud passage towards Bijia Mountain, the spiritual land of the Xuan Daoism Water and Fire Valley in the formation.
At this moment, whether it was the powerful monks of various sects or those low-level monks, their hearts were filled with shock at such a grand scene of Xuan Daoism.
Especially those monks who wanted to join Xuan Daoism, they couldn't help but get excited at this moment, thinking that one day they would be like these disciples, and they couldn't help but be fascinated.
When everyone walked to the foot of Bijia Mountain, in the square in front of Xuan Daoism Xuanyuan Dao Palace, Wu Yan had already led the rest of Xuan Daoism disciples to welcome them here.
On the square, seven white jade thrones were suspended in the air in the front row, which were obviously prepared for the leaders of the four major sects and the three god kings of the sea clan. Below them were twenty-four smaller yellow jade thrones, which were prepared for the four major families, eight middle families and the twelve commanders of the sea clan.
Then there were more than a hundred bluestone platforms, which were prepared for the Yuanying cultivators of the major sects or high-level island masters, as well as other Yuanying-level cultivators of the sea clan or the demon clan.
Then there were nearly ten thousand ordinary seats, which were prepared for other cultivators from all parties who came to participate in the founding ceremony of the Xuan Dao Sect.
Wu Yan, the island master of Xuanyuan Island, seemed to have expected that today would be a scene of great gatherings, and his idea was extremely thoughtful.
In fact, it was indeed like the scene fully prepared by the Xuan Dao Sect. Most of the powerful people and ordinary cultivators from all parties were present. Even Ni Daoming of the Ni family, who had a life-and-death feud with Wu Yan more than a month ago, came.
On the square of hundreds of feet, almost all the famous monks from Xumi Sea, Demon Sea, and Abyss Sea gathered at this time. Such a grand and solemn scene, I am afraid no one would have thought of it in advance.
Seeing that they were mortal enemies a few months ago, they are now sitting together and watching the establishment of a new sect together. Whether it is the human monks or the sea monks, they all feel absurd.
What shocked everyone even more was that the owner of Xuanyuan Island, Wu Yan, who was about to become the first generation leader of Xuandao Sect, always had a calm and indifferent smile on his face. He didn't seem to worry at all that someone would mess up his founding ceremony today. He didn't even worry that so many powerful monks gathered here and would take the opportunity to subvert Xuanyuan Island, which he controlled alone, and destroy the Xuandao Sect he was about to establish.
This confidence and composure alone has already caused a hint of admiration to arise in the hearts of all the powerful monks who came here today, and has made the determination of those monks from all parties who want to join Xuan Daoism even stronger.
Wu Yan smiled and waved his hands to the monks coming from all directions. After everyone was seated, Wu Yan raised his hand and heard bursts of fairy music coming from the air in the square. A group of monks wearing colorful feathers stood on a group of colorful clouds, each holding various kinds of magic in their hands. Different vocal instruments are playing with their tongues.
A clear voice also came out from above the clouds: "The universe reincarnates, the way of heaven is eternal! The way has been chaotic for thousands of years, but my current profound way is shining brightly! There are three Taoist leaders, Wu Yan, Lixuan Taoist sect, Xuanyuan... "
This is the opening article of worshiping the heavens and gods. It is filled with thousands of words, and combined with the corresponding music of worshiping the heavens and gods, it announces to the world that Xuan Taoism is officially established today.
The person who read this heaven-sacrifice inscription with his special supernatural power was none other than Tian Suanzi. He was currently wearing a Taoist robe of water and fire, with fluttering ribbons. He was like an immortal banished from the Nine Heavens, standing in front of the band of musicians, reciting divine inscriptions sonorously.
When he read to the end, his voice suddenly became louder and louder. When he finished reciting the last sentence of the sacred text, he saw the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changing, and a golden glow emerged, illuminating the entire Xuanyuan Island in a golden color.
Then, directly above the main hall square, the golden clouds suddenly condensed into a golden lotus hundreds of feet in size. Among the golden lotus, there seemed to be a huge faint shadow appearing. The beautiful figure held a colorful flower basket in one hand, grabbed the treasures in the flower basket with the other, and spread them gently in all directions. The golden petals suddenly turned into golden flower rain and fell down.
When the flower rain fell over the square, it turned into waves of extremely rich spiritual energy, making everyone in the square feel relaxed and happy, and their souls were at ease.
"Look! It's an auspicious sign! The goddess of heaven appears and spreads spiritual energy and fairy rain. This indicates that Xuan Taoism will prosper!"
Seeing this scene, some people in the crowd watching the ceremony below exclaimed and cheered loudly with excitement.
The leaders of the four major sects and the three god kings of the sea showed strange expressions on their faces after seeing this scene. Ni Daoming, the ancestor of the Ni family, muttered secretly: "Pretend to be a ghost! It would be really strange if the heavenly maiden could really be seen in this world of immortality. This method can only fool some ordinary monks who have just started."
This magical scene was naturally carefully planned by Tian Suanzi, Xuan Yaozi and others. In ancient times, before the chaos of heaven and before the passage between heaven and human world was cut off, scenes like this could often be seen.
It's just that for thousands of years, it has never happened that because of the prosperity of the Dao, the heaven will send angels to send down auspicious signs to encourage the monks in the lower world.
When each major sect was founded, they would create some such scenes to promote the sanctity of their sect and to strengthen their disciples' devotion to the Tao.
Although these powerful monks understand what is going on, it does not mean that the middle and low-level monks also understand. Therefore, when this auspicious sign appeared, all the monks on the square were immediately excited. Even the low-level monks knelt on the ground and worshiped the golden lotus in the sky.
After a series of complicated ceremonies, everyone sat down again. Dozens of Xuandao disciples, each holding a magic weapon and a spiritual plate, presented everyone with exquisite spiritual food and spiritual tea.
After ten years of hard work, Ji Han has now become a veritable master of spiritual cooking. The spiritual food he cooks by himself is no worse than a spoonful of cooking by the master of the Cuiyun House of the Li family.
Immediately, the entire square hall was filled with the rich aroma of different grades of spiritual food. These are all cooked from the spiritual materials on the sea beasts, and are of great benefit to improving your cultivation and stabilizing your realm. How can everyone be so polite?
As for the spirit tea, it is also no worse than the spirit fox fragrance from Cuiyun Tower.
The Valley of Water and Fire is rich in spiritual things, including all kinds of rare spiritual herbs, medicinal herbs and teas. Although many of them were destroyed by the monster beasts and cultivators entrenched here in the past, the ones left behind were carefully cultivated and cultivated by the Xuan Tao Sect, which greatly enriched the Xuan Tao Sect's collection of spiritual objects.
This Xuandao sect's founding ceremony is truly unique.
While everyone was tasting spiritual delicacies and drinking spiritual tea, they were thinking about today's grand ceremony of Xuandao Sect in their hearts, and for a moment they forgot the purpose of coming here.
Tian Suanzi, who had already retreated to Wu Yan's side, smiled and stroked his beard. He looked at the people in the square in front of him and thought to himself: "As the saying goes, you are soft-handed when you take advantage of others, and you are short-tongued when you eat people. Hehe, I'll block your mouths first." , I still don’t believe that you guys can still have the audacity to oppose the establishment of this sect. As for other trivial matters, as long as we give up some of the market interests during the secret discussion in the main hall, you guys don’t have to worry about it. Don’t let go.”
At this time, in front of the four major sect masters and the three major god kings, there was also a rare eighth-grade spiritual food. This was the highest-grade spiritual food that Ji Han could prepare using the ancestral spiritual cooking skills he had mastered. Even a spoonful of Cuiyun Tower's stew may not be able to be cooked. After all, the Li family does not have the financial resources to purchase eighth-level sea beast spiritual materials.
The four major sect masters and the three major god kings were originally a little reserved and wanted to move the chopsticks, but when they smelled the special aroma of the spiritual food and felt the mana in their bodies stirred by the aroma, they immediately no longer cared about being reserved. He lifted the chopsticks and started tasting.
