Chapter 126: Grand Ceremony (Bonus for Alliance Leader Qianshuiting Jiedao)

Cai Cai Qiugong has always been a big figure in the eyes of the entire Jingxiang and Jiangnan cultivation world, not only because he is a high-level expert in the late Spirit Refinement Realm who can be counted in the world, but also because he started from the foam of floating duckweed, started from a cold door and climbed to the top, the process is quite inspirational, so he has become a role model admired by countless loose cultivators at the lowest level.

The sect masters of the Qingyu Sect, Tianmu Mountain, Zhanglong Sect, Dongyang Sect, Jinting Sect, and Yuezhou Yuezhou Ouyang Sect who were with him were also in the Spirit Refinement Realm, but they were only in the middle or early stages, so the Dongyang Sect came to the door, hoping that Cai Cai Qiugong could come forward to mediate and suppress the aggressive posture of the Qingyu Sect.

In addition to these six sect masters, the elders of all families also gathered behind them, at the lowest they were in the late Golden Core, and more were Nascent Soul. So many high-level great cultivators stood together, even if they tried their best to restrain their breath, it still made many people feel uncomfortable, especially those who had not yet established Foundation, all couldn't help but want to stay away.

But the grand ceremony is about to open, and there is no way to avoid it on Danqiu, so they can only circulate true qi and support it hard.

At this moment, Liu Liu Xiaolou felt a bit difficult to bear. The huge pressure wrapped over the sky, making his breathing a bit difficult, and the circulation of true qi was stagnant, which was quite miserable.

Cai Cai Qiugong ordered two inner-sect deacons to take two long irons, and didn't know what kind of magic artifact they were, and stood at both ends far away from the giant tripod, close to the low-level cultivators like Liu Liu Xiaolou behind.

As soon as the long iron stood up, the majesty emitted by the large group of high-level great cultivators in the direction of the giant tripod dissipated more than half. Many people breathed a sigh of relief, including Liu Liu Xiaolou, and only then were they surprised to find that their long shirts were soaked with sweat.

Pieces of misty fog rose from them

This is the Danxia Sect's millennium founding ceremony. One thousand years ago, four great Spirit Refinement masters—Cai, Mao, Wang, and Su—joined forces to drive away a group of evil cultivators occupying the Danxia Cave Heaven, restoring the bright and clear heavens over the thousand-mile expanse of Danxia Mountain. Thus, they established the Danxia Sect, passing down the Five Glows Thunder Technique to the world and becoming one of the righteous paths of cultivation. This is the origin of the Danxia Sect.

An inner sect deacon brought up a large altar platform, placed it behind the giant cauldron, and suspended it in mid-air, where it was densely packed with various divine statues and spirit tablets.

Cai Cai Qiugong chanted the congratulatory prayer beneath the Thunder Struck Banyan tree and in front of the giant cauldron. The language was ornate and the allusions ancient and obscure. For someone like Liu Liu Xiaolou, whose literary cultivation was inferior, it felt very profound and difficult to understand; he only half-understood what he heard, and even the parts he did understand were essentially guessed.

Afterward, they offered sacrifices to the Danxia Immortal Ancestor, Magu, as well as the spirit tablets of all the ancestors over the past millennium, totaling thirty-eight in all, including six Sect Masters and thirty-two Elders. This is the foundation of the Danxia Sect.

The sacrificial spirit beasts were five-horned sheep, tusked boars, and mole oxen, all purchased at a high price from the Weiyu Xianghe Sect, as they are important spirit beasts raised by that sect. The five-horned sheep were the largest; their horns alone were taller than a person. The tusked boars had extremely sharp tusks that swords and blades could not cut, while the mole oxen were smaller, looking not much larger than wolves, though they were said to be extremely skilled at digging.

Three sheep, three boars, and three oxen were led up by ropes. The presiding Elder Cai of the Danxia Sect took action, and a golden egg flew from his sleeve, striking each of the nine beasts on the head. Unable to struggle, the nine beasts died on the spot.

Liu Liu Xiaolou carefully observed Elder Cai's expression, seeing that his face remained solemn throughout, making it impossible to tell his mood or how he had spent the previous night.

Next, another Elder Xin, at the late Golden Core stage, used a flying sword to carve the meat, which was then cast into the giant cauldron by the two Nascent Soul Elders, Mao and Wang. Finally, Cai Cai Qiugong ignited the fire with his thunder technique.

Fine, dense streaks of thunder light flickered from Cai Cai Qiugong's fingertips, enveloping the giant cauldron in the Five Glows Thunder Fire. These methods could be performed by anyone above the Golden Core stage; that Cai Cai Qiugong did so as a master of Spirit Refinement was only because he was the chief celebrant and had to do it himself. Yet, there was nothing unusual in his execution, nor were there any flashy displays—it was simply plain and simple. One could only say that this was his natural disposition.

But in Liu Liu Xiaolou's eyes, this scene was truly shocking. He watched intently for a long time, and a sense of yearning couldn't help but rise from the bottom of his heart—this is what true cultivation is!

Before long, the spirit beasts were cooked. Cai Cai Qiugong released three sticks of high-grade incense. Amidst the swirling smoke, several Elders worked together to plate the cooked sacrificial meat, and plate after plate of meat flew up, circling the altar.

With this, the entire ritual ceremony of the grand celebration concluded, and it was time for the various sects and factions to build connections. The Danxia Sect deacons brought up dozens of tables, and various wines and foods were delivered in a steady stream.

The sacrificial meat that had been presented could not, of course, be wasted. Since the ancestors had already partaken, it was not considered excessive for the junior disciples to share the leftovers. Those plates were removed and distributed to the various tables.

This was also the most anticipated food at every grand celebration. One must know that it is truly not easy for the Weiyu Xianghe Sect to raise five-horned sheep, tusked boars, and mole oxen; they are very expensive and not easily bought. If not for the opportunity of attending the Danxia Sect's millennium celebration, most people would never get to taste them.

As for Liu Liu Xiaolou, if he hadn't come, he might never have seen them in his entire life.

Unfortunately, given his status, he only received a piece of mole ox shoulder. He ate it in two or three bites, and the bursting meat juices held in his mouth were so delightful that his mind nearly lost its guard. He just wanted to dance gracefully atop this Danxia Hill, regardless of the many eyes upon him!

After finishing the beef and accompanying it with a few cups of Dan Gui Xiang spirit wine, Liu Liu Xiaolou's eyelids suddenly twitched. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and within a few breaths, the fifth acupoint of the Hand Hand Shaoyang Meridian—the Waiguan—was opened just like that.

To a certain extent, this is even more effective than spirit stones. Liu Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but lick his lips and glance around, but unfortunately, everyone was busy eating meat or licking their plates, and no one of noble character was willing to yield theirs, which he found quite regrettable.

Of course, for things like spirit birds, spirit beasts, or spirit flowers and herbs, as long as one finds the right method of consumption, the effects are usually excellent when first eaten. However, if consumed too often, the efficacy will greatly diminish, so when it comes to the long-term path, spirit stones are still the way to go.

Liu Liu Xiaolou ate quickly, and after finishing, he continued to watch with curiosity. The Brother Hutou Jiao didn't know when he had squeezed back to his side and asked, "Who is Yin Gong?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou was speechless: "You don't know him? You were jumping so fiercely just now..."

Brother Hutou Jiao said: "I've certainly heard the name, I just can't put a face to it."

Liu Liu Xiaolou pursed his lips: "Over at the Qingyu Sect, to the left, third row from the back, the one in the crimson-necked robe..."

Brother Hutou Jiao nodded: "Indeed, the person is like his name; he looks just like a centipede. Let's deal with him!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou asked: "How do you plan to deal with him? Don't go at him head-on; your cultivation is too far apart. Even ten of you would be a waste."

Brother Hutou Jiao said: "I asked at home; it seems there is a formula in his family's spirit incense that requires ingredients collected from the southwest. What exactly it is will take time to find out."

Liu Liu Xiaolou's eyes lit up: "Not bad, Brother Brother Hutou! If you can get this information, I'll arrange for you to have a meal with Jiu Niang!"

Brother Hutou Jiao tightened his fist: "Just watch!"
