When~~~
The sound of the imperial bell lasts for a long time, and the heaven and earth are like valleys, echoing constantly.
Tianqi Terrace occupies a huge area. It is not a column that reaches the sky, but covers half of the imperial city like a canopy.
The sky in the rain curtain hung down with auspicious colors, and the divine light hung like a bolt of light in the sky. For a moment, the rain curtain between heaven and earth became smaller.
There was a commotion in the imperial capital, but there was a solemn atmosphere on the Tianqi stage. More than 100,000 people stood side by side in silence, and there was no sound of 'chichi' from the torch stained with dragon's blood.
"Um?"
The bored Princess Xuanjing on the viewing platform suddenly frowned and glanced at the bronze cauldron guarded by thousands of people in the middle of the Tianqi Platform: "It seems that something is wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
Prince Xuanhua's expression tightened slightly, for fear that his little sister would cause trouble again, and he sent a message in a low voice: "The Duke and Nine Ministers of Great Zhou Dynasty, the two heads of Confucian Saint King are all here, the seventy-two Taoist masters and many guests of Great Zhou Dynasty are also here. Be alert, don’t act recklessly!”
There was no reason why Prince Xuanhua was not nervous.
At this time, on the Tianqi stage, there were seventy-three square formations composed of more than 100,000 monks, including the seventy-two Taoist masters and the Imperial Court square formation where the three princes and nine ministers were located.
The lines are distinct, but they are connected to each other, vaguely like an extremely complicated formation.
This is a powerful formation with Tianqitai as the center and the Imperial City as the eye, encompassing all the forces of the seventy-two realms of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
This formation is so powerful that once it is activated, it will never be defeated by the formation of three thousand feathered ships. Not only the Dharma body, but also the Dharma body, and even the great giants who dare to act recklessly will be blown to pieces!
"Above the thunder clouds, the sun is approaching the zenith at this time, but His Majesty, the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, and the two sacrificial wine-makers have not yet appeared..."
Xuan Jing rested his chin on his hand and gave a playful smile: "I've heard that the three of them are not getting along. Could it be that it's time to quarrel? Two years ago, the dragon bone sacrificial wine seemed to have been suppressed by the prince. ?”
With their realm and status, there were few things that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty that could not be hidden from them.
The power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was huge and loose. There were many mountains between the various roads, and there were also disagreements in the court. The biggest disagreement was that the crown prince Long Xingyi was not in the right position!
There were rumors from the outside world that it was the Crown Prince Long Xingyi's cultivation of the 'Emperor Jingshi' that alarmed the royal family, and the emperor relinquished the throne in great joy. But in fact, before the emperor retreated into seclusion, the two of them had a fight in the outer world!
Because of this, his feud with High Priest Ying Tiandao was not a secret at all to many people.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Xuanhua almost jumped up, his voice transmission fluctuated. He glanced at each square formation and his scalp felt numb.
The sound transmission was not absolutely secret. Those present were the most elite people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was possible that they did not have special magical powers and secret treasures to monitor their rumors.
"You are too timid, I'm afraid it won't be easy to stand out from all the princes."
Xuan Whale sneered at Xuan Huan's caution, but said nothing more.
Because a figure has already climbed up the steps and stepped onto Tianqi Terrace.
"That is......"
Xuanhua slowed down for a moment, then looked up and saw a man in white walking towards him amid the gloomy rain. He was tall and tall, with long hair hanging down to his waist, and his aura was mysterious and airy.
The only drawback is that his facial features are extremely ordinary and unremarkable at first glance, except for his eyes, which are as dark as a sea of stars, as if there are stars reflecting in them.
Wow!
It only takes an instant from extreme stillness to extreme movement.
Including the Sangong, Jiuqing, and the seventy-two Taoist masters, all the seated masters stood up and bowed to the figure in white clothes like snow: "We are here to greet you and have a big wine ceremony!"
"Let's meet the great sacrificial wine!"
After a moment of silence, 100,000 monks knelt down and raised their voices. The sound wave echoed, and the entire imperial city moved. The whole city was in an uproar, and no one knew how many people kowtowed and worshiped devoutly.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
The great sacrificial wine is in accordance with the way of heaven!
This name, in the hearts of many Zhou people, is louder and more mysterious than that of the prince or even the emperor.
According to legend, he was born from heaven, assisted the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty to destroy the previous dynasty of Wudao, and established the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for ten thousand years. He is also the only surviving person among the powerful men who established the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Ying Tiandao..."
On the viewing platform, including Xuanhua, Xuanjing, Daliang, Yuhua, and even the monks who came from other continents also stood up and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite."
The young man in white raised his hand slightly, and a gentle breeze blew through the entire Tianqi Terrace, lifting everyone up.
"Haha! With such a 'high moral character', it's no wonder that he is at odds with Long Xingyi..."
Xuan Jing sneered in his heart.
How can anyone feel at ease when a giant beast lies where he sleeps?
But her rumors came to an abrupt end because a pair of eyes fell on her through the heavy rain curtain:
"The little girl from the Yuhua Emperor Dynasty is not bad at cultivation. Compared with her, her achievements in the future are immeasurable."
"he....."
Xuan Jing was surprised, then raised his hand and forced a smile: "I am very happy to be praised by my seniors."
"The auspicious time has arrived, you will follow me to bow to the emperor and inherit the eight hundred years of great fortune!"
Ying Tiandao withdrew his eyes and spoke concisely. There is no red tape at all.
After everyone paid their respects, they stepped in front of the bronze cauldron, as if they were about to ignite the heaven-sacrificial fire where boundless luck gathered.
"Um?!"
"etc!"
"Great sacrificial wine! I dare not light this fire by you alone!"
Seeing the divine fire ignited when Ying Tiandao raised his hand, the expressions of the leaders of the imperial square formation changed, and the old man in brocade clothes wearing a flat crown even shouted:
"May I ask the high priest, where is His Royal Highness?!"
The three princes and nine ministers all raised their heads and looked at Ying Tiandao with cold eyes.
From the first heaven-sacrifice to the last time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the heaven-sacrifice fires were lit by the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sacrifice Wine. There has never been a case where one person lit the fire.
Thinking that the prince had not yet appeared, everyone present's hearts skipped a beat, and they vaguely felt that a storm was coming.
"Um?"
call!
On the Tianqi stage, the atmosphere suddenly became calm.
Ying Tiandao lowered his arms, looked back at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, and said in a calm tone: "The prince is delayed for something, so I will light the fire to sacrifice to heaven. Does King Jing have any objections?"
His tone was calm, but as his sound wave landed, the Tianqi stage was completely silent. An invisible but real sense of oppression fell on the people headed by King Jing.
"Kakaka~"
King Jing's muscles and bones sounded like he was almost bending down as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. He gritted his teeth and looked to one side. The phalanx where the seventy-two Taoist masters were sitting did not say a word. Even a few familiar people closed their eyes and remained silent. It was quite a bit strange. The attitude of watching indifferently.
His heart felt cold, and he suddenly realized that he had really underestimated the majesty of the high priest among the ministers.
You know, even if Yingtian Dao has invincible magical powers, he will never be able to defeat the 'Paanlong Formation', but he never expected that all the seventy-two Taoist masters would choose to watch indifferently!
"Hahaha!"
King Jing's face turned red, but he still took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Da Zhou, is the Da Zhou of my Dragon clan! You must not control the fire of sacrifice to the sky alone!"
Why did the Long family take charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
How could it surpass Yu Hua, the two divine dynasties of Daliang, and even major sects such as Fengdu City, Ziwei Palace, Huntian Mountain, and Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest?
It's nothing more than this seemingly insignificant 'Fire of Sacrifice to Heaven'!
An individual favored by God can be called a genius, a group of people favored by God can be called the 'spirit of all things', and a country favored by God can be called a 'Celestial Dynasty'!
"Does King Jing think that I want to monopolize the fire to sacrifice to heaven?"
Facing King Jing's tense situation, Ying Tiandao unexpectedly responded with a long sigh, with an unspeakable desolation in his tone: "Yes, Long, I don't want it anymore..."
"How can it be?!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and King Jing never believed it: "My clan, the Dragon clan, was ordered by heaven, and is the direct descendant of the divine blood! We are the only clan in the world that can be called the 'Emperor'! How could we give up the fire to sacrifice to heaven?!"
Ying Tiandao ignored him and just looked down at the imperial city with an unspeakable touch in his tone: "Huangji Jingshi is worthy of his reputation as a peerless magical power. I couldn't stop you..."
Boom!
King Jing and others followed his gaze and saw that under the gloomy night, in the rain curtain as dense as a waterfall, a divine light suddenly appeared!
A ray of golden light flowed backwards like a waterfall, piercing through the void of extremely complicated formations, tearing apart the rain curtain in the sky, and striking straight into the sky.
Then, a human figure came out of the sky and stood in the sky, shining through the sky and earth like the sun.
The crown is rippling, and the emperor's sword hangs from his waist!
"Uncle Emperor."
Long Xingyi looked at Tianqitai indifferently, and his tone was cold but decisive:
"He is right!
From today on, the Long family will no longer offer sacrifices to heaven! "
Boom!
As the sound waves reverberated, the thunderclouds covering the sky seemed to be angered, and in an instant countless thunder dragons and electric snakes burst out to wreak havoc in the sky.
Infinite electric light tore through the darkness and flowed down the earth. For a moment, everyone in the imperial capital's formation felt their bodies go numb, and some even felt as if they had been struck by thunder and were unable to move.
This is already the case within the formation, but outside the imperial capital, the boundless air currents set off by the endless explosion of thunder turned into terrifying divine winds that roared back and forth, blowing away the boundless rain curtains, shaking the mountains and the earth, and countless silt and sand rose into the sky. Dance wildly.
For a moment, I felt like the world was collapsing and the world was ending!
"God, God is angry!"
"The prince has angered heaven, and God is angry!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The imperial capital was filled with panic for a moment, and even the Golden Core cultivators with weaker cultivation levels couldn't help but tremble when facing the power of God.
"he......"
On the eaves somewhere, Lin Boxun looked up at the sky, his heart trembling for a moment.
What? !
King Jing's pupils trembled sharply, and the expressions of the three princes and nine ministers behind him, as well as the seventy-two Taoist masters who were watching from the wall, all changed drastically, and they almost suspected that they had heard wrongly.
"This dragon moves easily..."
Xuan Jing and Xuan Hua looked at each other and saw the shock and surprise in each other's eyes: "Are you crazy?!"
The power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most powerful in the world, but it is by no means irresistible. The reason why Daliang and Yuhua do not compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty is probably because they inherit the destiny of heaven.
If Dazhou really doesn’t sacrifice to heaven...
Not offering sacrifices to heaven? !
King Jing's heart was shaken, and he could hardly contain the anger in his heart: "You are talking nonsense, why don't you go on stage, and sacrifice to heaven!"
"Your Highness, don't act out of anger!"
"It's nonsense, it's such nonsense! Your Highness, if you don't sacrifice to the sky, these thunder clouds will never disperse. If this continues, the world will be flooded, and the human race will no longer have a foothold!"
"Your Highness, come on stage and worship the heavens!"
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!"
The Sangong, Jiuqing, and even some of the seventy-two Tao masters could not sit still at this time, and stood up one after another, either begging, persuading, or warning.
On the contrary, Ying Tiandao said nothing, but looked at Long Xingyi with his lowered eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"I said! From today on."
Long Xingyi stood in the sky, glanced at all his subordinates and masters with cold eyes, and roared into the sky, as if speaking to the sky:
"Long, don't sacrifice to the emperor!"
Buzz~
As Long Xingyi shouted again, the long sky where thunder and lightning was raging suddenly rolled like an angry tide.
There seemed to be an indescribable huge face appearing behind the thunderclouds, looking down at the world with indifference, and uttered a divine voice that shook the heaven and earth, rebuking those who defied heaven.
At this moment, everyone on the Tianqi stage was shaken, and their bodies were cold to the bone. It seemed as if a divine punishment was coming, targeting everyone present.
"Curse?"
At the corner of Tianqi Terrace, Zeng San, who was staying out of the incident and just observing, also frowned at this time.
"High Priest!"
Finally, the seventy-two Taoist masters and even the masters of the major sects in other continents could not sit still. They all looked at Ying Tian who looked indifferent in front of the bronze cauldron and said: "Sacrifice to the heaven, sacrifice to the heaven!"
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the guest ministers, and even the three ministers and nine ministers were all pale in color. They looked at Long Xingyi above the imperial city and were speechless for a moment.
"no!"
Only King Jing gritted his teeth and roared, and stood up again. His chest was heaving violently, but he wanted to stop Ying Tiandao from lighting the fire that burned the sky. He looked at Long Xingyi angrily and unwillingly:
"If you insist on doing this, you have to tell me, what exactly are you doing?!"
"Uncle Emperor..."
Facing the roar of King Jing who was supporting and protecting him with one hand and almost coughing up blood, Long Xingyi's eyes finally moved and he looked into the rain curtain:
"It's just that I don't offer sacrifices to Emperor Tian!"
"Since ancient times, there has only been Emperor Tian...huh?!"
Ying Tiandao, who was scolding freely, seemed to be aware of it, and his expression finally changed: "Who is it?!"
He heard footsteps.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Even though they knew which direction the footsteps were coming from, some people still couldn't help but look up at the sky, feeling that the footsteps seemed to be coming from the end of the world.
It is low, long and rhythmic, containing laws and principles.
It is as if someone has stepped on the veins of heaven and earth, so it can arouse the resonance of all things in heaven and earth.
"This is......"
Somewhere in the imperial capital, Lin Boxun suddenly looked back and was completely stunned.
In his eyes, the compass rotated violently and trembled, and a supreme and noble purple energy, before he knew it, filled the void of heaven and earth, everything in it, and occupied all the colors in his world!
Purple, purple energy? !
Lin Boxun was stunned. Even the Great Freedom System deep in his soul seemed to be in a sluggish state, as if he could not understand the appearance of this purple energy.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky! The emperor and heaven are never unique, let alone eternal!"
The sound came from the east, as loud as the clouds hanging from the sky. The moment it sounded, everyone inside and outside the imperial capital had already heard the sound.
Everyone was shocked and horrified. Ying Tiandao finally couldn't hold it any longer. He stepped forward with a loud voice that shook the world, intending to suppress the voice that resounded throughout the world: "Who are you and what do you want?!"
"This sound..."
Zeng San was shocked and looked back.
I saw a person walking forward step by step as if coming from the horizon. The seemingly endless thunderstorm that lasted for more than two years was slowly receding!
"My name is Hongxuan!"
Amid the thunderstorm that gradually dissipated, sparse rays of sunlight fell through the clouds.
An Qisheng slowly raised his hand, letting the light fall on his palm, lowering his eyes to the sky, and said in a calm tone:
"Come another day!"
