Chapter 2344: The Sacrificial Battle Spirit (1/2)

Experts and disciples from various forces that came to join in the celebration were only allowed as far as the edge of the plaza.

Every person on the Sacrificial Mountain, on the plaza or outside of the plaza, was standing, including Huang Xiaolong, except for one person!

In the most conspicuous position on the square in front of the sacrificial altar, in front of the Clear Snow Palace’s experts, sat a woman that was beautiful beyond words.

This woman was clad in a delicate white brocade dress, as those from the Clear Snow Palace. Her skin was white as snow, and others feared looking at her for too long, fearing that their gazes might blaspheme her.

She was the Clear Snow Palace’s Palace Master Xue Lingyun!

She was reputed as the most beautiful woman in the Holy World since ancient times!

Even now, she was still the number one beauty in many experts’ hearts.

The Clear Snow Palace’s three beauties, Tan Juan, Ji Xinyi, and Lin Xiaoying, stood straight behind Xie Lingyun. Even as the leader among the three, Tan Juan seemed a little lackluster when compared to Xue Lingyun.

There were numerous Holy Gates’, ancient families’, and ancient races’ patriarchs around the plaza, and their gazes fell on Xue Lingyun from time to time.

Regardless which direction or which angle one looked at Xue Lingyun, her beauty made one’s heart race.

These experts from various forces waited in silence.

Suddenly, four shocking auras descended from the void, enveloping the entire holy ground. It was not only the Sacrificial Mountain, but it enveloped further than the Holy Heavens City, encompassing the entire holy ground’s continents. Trillions of experts felt the majestic auras.

Except for the Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun, all other experts’ faces changed, including the Holy Lands Alliance’ holy masters. Their expressions tensed as they lowered their heads.

Under everyone’s revered respect, the four people slowly descended from high air.

At these four people’s appearance, the Holy Gate’s and ancient families’ patriarchs, and others, including the Holy Lands Alliance’s ten great holy masters, and the Holy Heavens’ hall masters, everyone knelt respectfully in salute.

“Greetings to the Holy Heavens’ four Lord Primal Ancestors!”

“Greetings to the four Lord Primal Ancestors!”

Undulating voices from the Sacrificial Mountain and nearby mountains reverberated in the air.

The Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun rose from her seat at this time and said, “Greetings, four Senior Brothers!” Her crisp voice was music to the ears, as it was clear and charming.

Heavenly Master, Lord Long, Elder Crow, and Tyrant Chu nodded slightly at the Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun.

“Fellow Daoist Lingyun need not stand on ceremony.” Heavenly Master smiled amiably, then turned to the Holy Lands Alliance’s ten holy masters, patriarchs, and experts, “Everyone as well.”

His voice reached every corner of the Holy Heavens’ City, carrying an inviolable aura.

Only then did everyone in the crowd stand up.

The four Primal Ancestors then sat cross-legged in the air above the sacrificial altar.

“Begin the sacrificial ceremony.” Lord Long said to the Holy Heavens Grand Hall Master Wu Ge.

“Yes, Lord Long!” Wu Ge complied respectfully, and then issued orders for the sacrificial ceremony to begin.

According to the proceedings of the apprenticeship ceremony, the first event was offering prayers to heaven, the second event was the apprenticeship ceremony, and the third event was the friendly sparring exchange.

As the prayer offerings began, Huang Xiaolong stepped to the center of the sacrificial altar on the third floor.

Wu Ge started forming seals with his hands to activate all the three holy spiritual formations on the altar.

Seconds later, pillars of sacred light rose to the heavens.

The Sacrificial Altar had been lit three times previously. The first time was when the Holy Heavens was established, the second time was when Tyrant Chu had joined the Holy Heavens, and the third time was during Li Chen’s apprenticeship ceremony. Counting Huang Xiaolong’s apprenticeship ceremony, this was the fourth time the Sacrificial Altar was lit.

Bathed in the resplendent lights from the sacrificial altar’s holy spiritual formation, Huang Xiaolong began worshipping the heavens.

Soon, holy lights gathered behind Huang Xiaolong’s back, condensing into a giant golden battle spirit. This golden battle spirit seemed to be born of heaven and earth, born of the Holy World’s great daos.
