The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 491
Chapter 491: Chapter 439: The Golden Book and Jade Scroll Solidifies, Mr. Wu Makes His Move
Boom!
A massive thunderbolt ruptured the arched sky, reminiscent of the chaotic divine thunder that created the heavens and earth from the chaos.
A magical moment appeared, countless dazzling stars appeared in the sky, dangling strings of starlight in a scattered yet orderly manner.
Upon seeing this, the Qingxu Daoist clasped his hands, murmuring words. He then threw several seals onto the Howling Moon Gray Wolf’s body located at the centre of the altar. The wolf’s body erupted with terrifying energy, rising to the sky and soaring straight into the clouds.
The boiling Blood Qi turned into wisps of cloud smoke, with half ascending to the sky, and the other half flowing down the stairway of Nine Layers of Heaven, and directly integrating into the earth.
The method of blood sacrifice, the sacrifice to Heaven and Earth.
Then, a change occurred in the sky. Starlight disappeared, and the sky became half dark and half bright, resembling the Tai Chi in chaos.
“Your Majesty!” Mr. Wu called out.
Zhu Houji, who had been lost in previous awe, immediately understood that it was time for him to act.
He once again held up the imperial jade seal, devoutly clasping it in his chest, lifting it high, and kneeling in homage to Heaven and Earth.
“A bow to the Heavenly Emperor…”
“Again, a bow to the Earth…”
Unknown ancient words filled with an ancient and wild sense flowed out from Mr. Wu who stood beside him.
After Zhu Houji’s triple kneeling and nine bows ceremony was completed, he stood up, holding the imperial jade seal above his head, and loudly proclaimed:
“The Great Ming Dynasty sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor and Earth. I, Zhu Houji, the Emperor of the Great Ming, prays for the Heavenly Mandate’s favor, to rule all beings and the people, to spread peace throughout Heaven and Earth, to report…”
The carefully crafted worship text written by countless scholars was recited word for word, and with each word spoken, thunder shook the sky as if in response from Heaven and Earth.
With the reading of the worship text, infinite Qi Luck gathered, more and more, gradually dyeing the sky golden as if the entire Tiandu city was shrouded in golden Qi Luck.
Seeing such a majestic sea of golden Qi Luck, everyone was excited. They knew clearly, the more Qi Luck you gather, the greater the chance of success.
By now Zhu Houji had recited the worship text to its final stages, he called out loudly: “Today, the Great Ming Dynasty performs a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth. I, Zhu Houji, Emperor of Great Ming, pray for the Heaven and Earth’s grant, to elevate to the Heavenly Dynasty and fill Great Ming with prosperity and wealth…”
Boom!
The moment these words were uttered, Heaven and Earth trembled. In the sky above, a thunderous sound resounded, echoing throughout the Divine Continent, and this earth-shaking rumble filled everyone’s ears.
Boom!
Thunder constantly resounded in the sky, and the earth trembled, seemingly in response to his words.
Whoosh…
The next moment, countless golden lights fell from the sky, pouring down freely like rain. It first fell on the altar, then melded into the altar. Guided by the Qi Luck, the golden light flowed into the imperial jade seal held aloft by Zhu Houji, making the seal radiate with a dazzling golden luster.
This golden light wasn’t just above Tiandu, but fell down across every piece of sky within the entire Great Ming Empire. At this moment, the Divine Continent had almost turned into a sea of gold, covered in a layer of golden light.
The golden light fell on the ground, disappeared immediately, sinking deep into the earth, and likewise vanished without a trace on people.
But everyone who bathed in the golden light felt tremendous changes in their bodies upon contact.
The ordinary folk, upon contact with the golden light, saw their sicknesses vanish, the lame were able to walk, the blind could see, the humpbacks straightened their backs, the mute could speak, the deaf could hear the outside world, and even the elder seemed much younger…
Martial Artists experienced the same, feeling their injuries disperse, their bottlenecks loosen, and some of them who were on the cusp of breaking through even advanced their realm on the spot. Especially those stuck at the peak of the first-grade, struggling to break through the Spirit Realm, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope to break through.
Powerful beings like Zhao Baiyang, who were at the Spirit Realm, benefitted the most. The golden light appeared incredibly mysterious to them, allowing them to understand the principles of Heaven and Earth more clearly…
The golden light in the sky grew increasingly dense. Above the altar, a dark bottomless hole seemed to have formed, attracting innumerable golden lights to converge around it, and emitting a mysterious atmosphere.
“The Golden Book and Jade Scroll are condensing, it seems that the promotion of Divine Dynasty is completed, but I wonder which grade of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll will be formed?” Mr. Wu looked at the sight, pondering in his heart.
From the moment he saw the Golden Book and Jade Scroll begin to condense, he knew that he had made the right bet. But as for which grade of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll would eventually form, no one could say for sure.
High, middle, and low grades each represented a vast difference. The cost to upgrade in the future would be extremely difficult.
Originally, according to some clues he knew, the level of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll was determined by the strength of the imperial dynasty. The stronger the dynasty, the greater the chance of obtaining a high-grade Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
By conventional logic, the Great Ming Empire, which was the most powerful force in the world at this time, should have a high chance of obtaining a high-grade Golden Book and Jade Scroll, or at least a middle-grade one.
However, at this moment Heaven and Earth had not yet recovered. The Great Ming Empire was strong, but there were not many strong individuals. Their strength was incomparable to those of the imperial dynasties that had ascended to the Divine Dynasty in the past. If it weren’t for the changes in Heaven and Earth, their strength would not have been enough for the promotion to the Divine Dynasty.
So at this moment it was uncertain what level of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll they would obtain. Even a worldly-wise man like Mr. Wu was not completely sure.
“Well, seeing as I’ve already given so much, this isn’t much more.” He heaved a sigh, and between his hands there appeared an object.
A ball of Xuanhuang Qi, like a dense mist of mysterious yellow colour, hovered in the palm of his hand. It had no definite shape and was filled with a chaotic and ancient aura.
If any worldly-wise figure in the Sky Wasteland saw this object in Mr. Wu’s hand, they would undoubtedly be shocked, because this was Xuanhuang Qi.
Xuanhuang Qi was said to be an extraordinary substance produced at the dawn of the Heaven and Earth, possessing miraculous properties. Whether used in refining tools or integrated into the body, it yields great benefits.
The original Xuanhuang Qi had already been used up during ancient times. Now, the substance referred to as Xuanhuang Qi is obtained by the strongest cultivators from the Nine Layers of Heaven through refining bizarre divine objects within chaos.
The main use of Xuanhuang Qi isn’t anything else, but to open the Forbidden Place’s Blessed Land, which for a cultivator is an extremely valuable divine object.
Therefore, this object, even in Sky Wasteland, would belong to the most top-notch divine items, that even the strongest beings from Nine Layers of Heaven would be moved by.
Nobody would imagine that such a divine object would be held by a seemingly ordinary Third-Level Spirit Realm Mr. Wu, and that he would take it out at this moment.
If people like Xue Hanyi saw it, they would certainly be stunned and more curious about the origin of the mysterious Mr. Wu who possesses such divine objects.
“You all must remember my sacrifice today.” He chuckled towards Pei Xuanjing, without hesitation he tossed the Xuanhuang Qi into the golden light that was condensing the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
This moment, it was like pouring oil on a mighty fire. The Xuanhuang Qi falling into that place caused the golden light to thrive even more, and the ancient desolate aura could no longer be concealed. Its transmission surprised countless people.
