Chapter 2265 - 2262: Commencement of the Ritual
"Little Xuan."
"The Heavenly Dao of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds has suppressed and prevented your mother and me from returning, or perhaps your mother and I have absorbed too much power from Dou Tian Divine Domain and are being sanctioned by the Heavenly Dao of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. In any case, your mother and I temporarily cannot come back."
"Leave Wan’an City to you, and as for your mother and me, don’t worry. Your father is strong, and they can’t do anything to me."
"The place I’m located is called Demon Mist Island. If you come to Dou Tian Divine Domain later, you can inquire about it. I will leave my whereabouts here afterward. After all, this place has been discovered, and I cannot stay here long."
"My son walks the invincible path, no need to worry about your father."
"Alright, that’ll do!"
Ye Mingtian’s voice suddenly ceased.
Ye Xuan gently stroked the dull gray jade stone, lost in thought.
"What does this jade stone represent, Little Xuan?"
Ye Minghai asked, seeing Ye Xuan silent.
Ye Xuan put the jade stone into his bosom, smiled slightly, and said, "It’s okay, my father said he and mother are fine now, just temporarily unable to return, so we shouldn’t worry."
"Are they really okay..."
Ye Minghai’s eyes filled with deep worry.
Before being sent back by Ye Mingtian, he had seen a bizarre giant hand full of eyes, directly dispersing the forces of Demon Mist Island.
He had an intuition that if touched by that power, he would instantly be annihilated.
Although his third brother and sister-in-law are incredibly powerful, facing such an existence, are they really alright?
"Little Xuan, do you have a way to go to Dou Tian Divine Domain? If you do, you must check on your parents!"
Ye Minghai said with a serious expression.
Ye Xuan glanced at Zhou Youwei, seeing her calm demeanor, then looked at Ye Minghai and shook his head, saying, "No one can go to that world."
"What?"
Ye Minghai was somewhat incredulous.
He thought that place was accessible.
Turns out even Little Xuan can’t go?
"Let’s head home first, Uncle."
Ye Xuan said softly.
Although Ye Minghai was worried about Ye Mingtian, he had no choice but to nod.
After sending Ye Minghai home, Ye Xuan was alone with Zhou Youwei.
"If one day we truly stand opposed, I won’t hold back."
Zhou Youwei was the first to express herself.
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Originally, he came to confirm his parents’ identities, but now it’s clear they’re stuck in Dou Tian Divine Domain.
Not only that.
The fact alone that his parents can freely enter Dou Tian Divine Domain casts a layer of mystery over them.
And Zhou Youwei’s greatest enemy in this lifetime is Dou Tian Divine Domain.
"They won’t stand against me."
Ye Xuan said hoarsely, his eyes grim.
Zhou Youwei glanced at Ye Xuan, softly saying, "I’ll return to Heavenly Sea first."
With that said.
Zhou Youwei transformed into a Divine Rainbow, disappearing into the night sky.
Ye Xuan did not try to stop her.
Everything will only be known in the future.
Now, it’s too early to discuss these matters.
Ye Xuan sat beside the lake, pulled out the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, and took a deep swig, his eyes showing a trace of astonishing ferocity.
With his father unable to return, he had temporarily no way to reclaim that monster body.
Only when the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons are gathered can he affect that monster body.
Or... step into the Great Emperor Realm.
Having forged dual cultivation with Youwei for seven days, his cultivation had reached the late Quasi-Emperor stage.
There was still a distance to Great Emperor.
But such a distance meant nothing to Ye Xuan.
Others need accumulation and insight into the Dao for breakthrough.
Ye Xuan doesn’t need that.
Because he had already discovered his path in various Daos long ago.
Everything was simply a matter of course.
Boom!
In an instant.
Ye Xuan soared into the sky.
There was no disturbance in Wan’an City.
But outside Wan’an City, a terrifying storm surged.
The thick clouds above Wan’an City were pierced through.
Ye Xuan’s flight path seemed to tear the Sky Dome of Daozhou apart.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan had flown out of Daozhou, leaving it far behind.
When he appeared again, he had already descended upon Earth State Land.
Buzzing————
The sky above Earth State Land was enveloped in five-colored Divine Light.
This Divine Light continued to rise, seemingly attempting to envelop the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
The speed was neither fast nor slow.
Across all corners of Earth State, pillars formed of five-colored Divine Light rose, supporting the ascending layers of Divine Light.
Counting carefully, there were precisely one hundred and eight Heavenly Pillars.
Upon closer inspection, the five-colored Divine Light’s Heavenly Curtain was comprised of ten layers of overlapping five-colored Divine Light.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s eyes cleared as he murmured, "Is the Luotian Grand Jiao about to start..."
Luotian Grand Jiao.
The Daoist’s third grand ceremony.
Second only to Universal Grand Jiao and Circulation Grand Jiao.
Nine altars established.
One thousand two hundred Divine seats set.
Invitations extended to All Heavens Divine Spirits, Ten Directions Saintly Beings, and others.
This ceremony requires forty-nine days.
Upon completion of Luotian Grand Jiao, all evil spirits in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will be suppressed.
This magnificent event mandates the attendance of all Daoist branches.
The Daoist traditions span across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
But the starting point is Earth State.
During Luotian Grand Jiao, supreme mighty figures of the Great Saint Realm from Ten Grotto Heavens, Thirty-six Grotto Heavens, and Seventy-two Blessed Lands must come to conduct the ceremony.
Ye Xuan saw that the one hundred and eight five-colored Heavenly Pillars were being held by Great Saint Realm mighty figures from Thirty-six Grotto Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands.
The ten layers of five-colored Divine Light forming the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth were presided over by mighty figures from Ten Grotto Heavens.
Currently, it was only initiating the ceremony, not the actual start.
After initiation, the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth would envelop All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
Including Black Sky Ancient Netherworld and Heavenly Domain.
The entire universe would be encompassed by Luotian Grand Jiao.
Nine Altars Divine Fire ignites.
One thousand two hundred Divine Spirits arrive.
That is the moment Luotian Grand Jiao begins.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan finally revealed a hint of a smile.
It’s about to begin...
The true golden era is about to unfold.
When Luotian Grand Jiao opens, all powers in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will partake in the ceremony.
Of course, they won’t come to Earth State but observe from their world.
Due to the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth, all existences in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will witness Luotian Grand Jiao.
"Ye Xuan!"
At this moment, a voice rang out, filled with surprise.
Ye Xuan lowered his gaze, noticing two girls in Daoist robes within the clouds not far below.
Ning Fu.
Zhang Jingtong.
Two heavenly prodigies of the Daoist.
Ye Xuan looked at the two girls with a peculiar expression and said slowly, "As heirs of the Daoist orthodoxy, aren’t you afraid of being reprimanded for observing the ceremony like this?"
Although the Daoist is usually easygoing, during grand ceremonies like Luotian Grand Jiao, the rules are stringent.
If violated, there would be severe consequences.
Zhang Jingtong smiled subtly and said, "I informed my grandfather before coming."
