Chapter 457 - The Grand Ceremony (2/2)
From far away, they saw a person sitting in the square, a cultivator of late stage Nascent Soul. There was not a single person within several hundred meters from him, but there was a giant protective array drawn under his feet, and about a dozen Dharma artifacts around him. He was that cultivator who was going to go through tribulation.
Lonemoon turned to look towards the right. Several dozens sat on a high platform over there. Most of them were Soul Formation cultivators and there were three traveling immortals whose positions were high by the looks of it. They must be the team of leaders of Divine Imperial Sect. There were also cultivators from other sects who came in congratulation. Upon a closer look, there were seven or eight who looked familiar. They were exactly the people who took Fatty away the other day.
But strangely, Fatty wasn’t among that group of people. He frowned subconsciously. Wasn’t Fatty the sect master? And the big event that those people talked about before must be this Ascension Ceremony. Why is he not seen at the important moment?
Over these few days, Lonemoon actually gathered some information about Fatty’s becoming sect master out of curiosity. The matter of Divine Imperial Sect having a mortal sect master was no secret at all, so it was very easy to get information on that. It had something to do with the establishment of Divine Imperial Sect. It was said that the ancestors of the Six Great Clans owed the ancestor of Fatty as he saved them from danger. Therefore, the six clans instructed their offspring to treat the offspring of the man kindly.
After that, the six clans jointly formed Divine Imperial Sect. To show their respect to the man who saved their lives, every sect master of Divine Imperial Sect from then on were his offspring. However, for some unknown reason, the family branch of Hui Ze had never had many children. There was always only one child in each generation. In addition, their cultivation quality was very bad. Not to mention Nascent Soul or Soul Formation, even with the power of the whole sect pouring out, they couldn’t get a Golden Core cultivator out of their family. All of them died young.
At first, Lonemoon didn’t pay much attention to it. But since Shen Ying’s mentioning of Fatty being the main cause of abnormality for the nomological force, he found the matter a bit weird. It might really have something to do with the bad quality and single-child bloodline. They had to find Fatty as soon as possible.
After examining the surroundings once more to confirm that Fatty wasn’t there, he directly let out his divine perception, hoping to directly locate Fatty.
But the sky actually darkened suddenly. Large waves of lightning clouds gathered in the sky. Vaguely, sounds of thunder could be heard. White flashes of light moved within layers of clouds.
“The Lightning Tribulation has started.” Yi Qing reminded him.
Lonemoon had to draw back his hands. The spirit qi of Lightning Tribulation would affect his detection spell, so he had to wait until it finishes.
It didn’t take long for the lightning clouds above to get prepared. In a short while, a white flash of lightning cut through the sky, hitting right on the body of the person in the middle. Instantly, the whole Divine Imperial Sect was lit with white light. Before that light died down, tribulation lightning fell one after another- each being more violent than the previous one. The rapidly increasing spirit pressure in the surroundings forced some low-level disciples to set up protection and retreat.
Fewer and fewer people gathered in the surroundings. In the end, the dozen or so Soul Formation and traveling immortal cultivators to their right were the only ones left.
Relying on Aura-Concealing Talisman and Shen Ying the cheat, Lonemoon directly stood behind a rock and hid just for the sake of it. Nobody could see him anyway. At the same time, he carefully searched for Fatty, while glancing at the person in the middle who was passing through his tribulation.
