Novel Full Chapter 960
Chapter 960: Chapter 960, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens!
Clouds rose in the sky. It was as if an invisible hand had swung across the sky, causing the clouds to be like an ocean. They churned and expanded, causing the sunlight to change at that moment. When it landed on the ground, the colors changed, and they finally gathered into a bundle, it landed directly… outside the main entrance of the palace!
It landed on… Wang Baole and the Emperor of the fallen star!
In an instant, the hundred thousand cultivators in the square outside the main palace, the million cultivators outside the palace, and the countless citizens of the entire Starfall Empire who were watching the ceremony in their respective areas under the reflection of the Almighty’s divine powers. Their gazes.., they all focused on the spot where the light beam had landed.
They saw… their emperor, and also saw… Wang Baole standing beside the Emperor!
At that moment, it wasn’t an exaggeration to describe him as the center of attention. Even though Wang Baole held a high position in the federation, he was standing next to a powerful figure like the meteor emperor, and he was being stared at by countless cultivators, his breathing still quickened slightly. However, at that moment, he didn’t want others to see that he was being reserved and unnatural. Therefore, he casually placed his hands behind his back and looked at the dark mass of people below. He nodded slightly, he seemed to be reviewing the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
In reality… he couldn’t see any of the cultivators below clearly. It wasn’t because his cultivation and vision weren’t enough, but because there were too many people. Unless he focused in one direction, he could only roughly scan the crowd, all he could see were countless figures.
However… Even though he didn’t look closely at the crowd outside the grand hall, every cultivator in the crowd had Wang Baole’s clear figure reflected in their eyes.
The paper figurines were fine. Those who had been able to enter the palace had mostly heard about Wang Baole in the past few days. Even though it was the first time most of them had seen him, and their eyes were filled with curiosity, they were still filled with gratitude.
The only exception was… the nine outer realm prodigies who had been qualified to enter the meteorite lands with Wang Baole. When they saw Wang Baole, their expressions changed drastically, and some of their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets, their heads buzzed, and their expressions were filled with disbelief and disbelief.
Even the refined cultivator from the first sect of the left Dao College, who was usually calm and collected, had a look of confusion in his eyes. He stared blankly at Wang Baole, while the masked woman beside him had a strange expression on her face, she stared at Wang Baole, who was standing on the high platform in the main hall. Her eyes narrowed slightly like crescent moons. Even though she was wearing a mask and couldn’t see the exact expression on his face, she looked like she was smiling.
There was a moment when Wang Baole would have noticed the masked woman, and he would have definitely felt that the gaze was… somewhat familiar.
However, the narrowed crescent moon eyes disappeared in an instant and returned to its usual calm. The complete opposite of her was the bell lady from the side sect, the nine Phoenix sect.
At that moment, her body was trembling slightly, and her breathing was extremely erratic. The disbelief in her eyes was even more intense than before. Her mind was filled with billowing waves, but at the same time, she was also filled with anger and unwillingness.
“How is this possible! ? ! ? Why is that damned Xie Dalu standing there? ! ?”
As the three of them were filled with different thoughts, the black-robed young man next to them was the calmest of them all. Although there were fluctuations in his heart, from the outside, he didn’t seem to have changed much. On the contrary, it was that senior brother.., at that moment, he was extremely excited. He thought to himself that Xie Dalu was indeed worthy of being a friend that he valued greatly. Although he did not know why he was able to stand there, it was clear that he was not a simple person.
On the other hand, the little fatty… compared to the others, the waves of shock in the little fatty’s heart could be said to be no less than that of the bell maiden. After all, when he had discovered that Wang Baole was not around, he had been extremely pleased with himself, how pleased he had been in the past, how shocked he was now… not only were his eyes wide open, even the fat on his body was trembling. He couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“This doesn’t make sense. How could this be… What did Xie Dalu do during the days that he was missing? How could he be arranged to stand beside the Falling Star Emperor on the day of the sacrifice?”
The little fatty was in disbelief. He even rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn’t seeing things. The little girl from the Underworld art beside him spoke in a sweet and soft voice.
“Big Brother Fatty, didn’t you say that Xie Dalu wasn’t qualified to come in after the bell tolled four times? Why is he able to stand by the Meteor Emperor’s side now?”
“Uh…”the little fatty’s forehead was slightly sweating. He couldn’t control the awkward feeling that surfaced on his face. It was as if he had been slapped in the face. He couldn’t help but cough.
“According to past traditions, we are still qualified to stand together with the Falling Star Emperor in the fallen star lands. However, this requires us to give great benefits to the Falling Star Empire. I believe that Xie continent must have paid an astonishing price to achieve this.”The little fatty spoke slowly at the start, however, as he spoke, he began to slip away. In the end, he seemed to believe his own words.
“What’s the point of this Xie Continent?”He thought, shaking his head. “Sigh, a false reputation hurts people.”As he sighed, he noticed the faint smile on the little girl’s face, and the strange looks everyone else was giving him, he didn’t know how to continue. After all, he wasn’t thick-skinned enough. As the awkwardness grew, the falling star Emperor’s voice from outside the main hall saved him, and his voice echoed out through heaven and earth.
“Worship the heavens, worship the Dao of the stars, and congeal the heavens. This is the worship of the fallen stars. Everyone… why don’t you all worship the heavens three times?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the 100,000 paper cultivators in the square began to tremble. They looked up into the sky, hands raised high up into the air!
The voice of the fallen star Emperor echoed out in all directions.
“The first worship is to worship the Dao of the heavens. It will bring good weather to the fallen stars, and ensure that there will never be a catastrophe!”
As the voice echoed out, the 100,000 paper cultivators in the square all bowed. Not only did they bow, but the millions of cultivators outside of the imperial city, as well as all of the people in all of the regions of the Starfall Empire, all bowed to the heavens!
A majestic aura rose up, and the wind and clouds surged. Rumbling sounds could be heard in the sky, and the sea of clouds churned. It was as if some sort of majestic will was growing out of everything, gathering in the sky to form an invisible spirit, it was accepting the worship of all living things on Earth!
“The second worship is to worship the fallen star ancestor. It will allow the fallen star to continue for tens of millions of years and obtain the True Dao forever!”
The Sea of clouds churned like a huge wave. As the rumbling sounds grew louder, multicolored light materialized in the sky. Amidst the multicolored light, it was extremely marvelous. It was as if illusory figures were walking out from the void amidst the multicolored light, in the sky, they received the worship of all the living beings on Earth.
The entire process was dreamy and surreal. It lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it dissipated. At the same time, the voice of the emperor of the Starfall spread across the entire world once again.
“The third worship is to worship the fallen star. The glorious past will not fade. Even if no one in the world will remember it, the mission of the Starfall will forever mark the life of all the Stars!”
As soon as the words were spoken, all the living beings bowed again. Even the fallen star Emperor himself did the same. Wang baole, who was beside him, also bowed to the heavens after the first two bows. At the same time, a solemn and solemn aura spread throughout his entire body, there was also a sense of anticipation that grew stronger at that moment.
Based on the process of worshipping the heavens that he had learned from the three girls, he knew that worshipping the heavens in the fallen star empire was not a complicated process. After three bows in the sky, they would begin the process of guiding the stars and drumming!
This segment was actually the main point of worshipping the heavens. With the sound of the drum, one could shake the heavens and lead countless stars to materialize.
In reality, that was indeed the case. After worshipping the heavens for three times, the Falling Star Emperor raised his head and stood outside the main hall. As he was the center of attention, his gaze swept across the crowd and landed directly on the scholarly cultivators and the other nine people.
“After worshipping the heavens, the stars will move. My little friends from the outer realms, please step forward… and strike the heaven-connecting drum, attracting billions of Starlight to descend!”
As the voice rang out, 100,000 gazes from the square instantly focused on the scholarly cultivator and the other nine. Under the scrutiny of so many paper figurines, the masked woman and the others began to breathe heavily. After exchanging glances.., the little fatty gritted his teeth and was the first to fly toward the heaven-reaching drum. He even began to shout loudly.
“Senior, this junior, Lu Xiaohai, will go first!”
