C255 Flowing Cloud Ceremony (3)
C255 Flowing Cloud Ceremony (3)
Lei Yang judged that they were indeed stronger than Elder Han Zhentie, and should at least be existences at the peak of the Dao comprehension or just half a step into the tribulation.
As for the Son of Heaven, Liu Hao, who was standing at the side, although he was the Son of Heaven, and gave off the aura of an Emperor, he still found it difficult to compare with the Cloud Water Cliff. Standing beside him, although he had an extraordinary bearing, he was completely unable to contend against the Cloud Water Cliff.
And today, he was actually not wearing the imperial crown, but only an ordinary set of blue clothes. This aroused Lei Yang's curiosity even more.
"We pay our respects to Sect Master!" As soon as the two of them stood still, the whole plaza resounded with the sound of people greeting each other.
"Even the Emperor of the Da Qi Kingdom has come. Seems like the influence of this Flowing Cloud Ceremony is indeed not small." As Lei Yang thought about this, he also followed suit to pay his respects.
However, he realised that they were not paying respects to the Son of Heaven, Liu Hao, but to the Cloud Water Cliff, but rather, to the Cloud Water Cliff, but Lei Yang was distracted for a moment, and when he said it was to the Emperor, he nearly made a mistake, but luckily his voice was not loud, at most, only he could hear it, but he knew where the problem was.
It was obvious that the rumors of the legendary Floating Cloud Pavilion and the royal family were not false, as the people did not first pay their respects to him, but instead paid their respects to the Cloud Water Cliff.
After everyone finished paying respects, they did not continue to pay their respects to the son of heaven, Liu Hao, but did not say anything else. The entire plaza suddenly became quiet, Lei Yang observed the expressions of the elders of the several peaks, and realized that they were all surprised by Liu Hao's arrival, even the Elder Han who had wanted to chat with Liu Hao back in the Imperial Family felt the same.
And it just so happened that at this time, Lin Muxiao also muttered to himself: "Why is he here?
From their reactions, Lei Yang understood immediately, it was obvious that this was the first time the Son of Heaven had come here, but as the Great Qi Son of Heaven, it was understandable for him to have come to watch the Flowing Cloud Ceremony, but he did not understand why all the elders had such strange reactions, as if they had seen an unknown object.
Before Lei Yang could think about it further, a look of displeasure appeared on the face of the Cloud Water Cliff on the stage. He coughed and said, "Why aren't you waiting for the Emperor!"
It was at this moment that, under their astonished expressions, they barely managed to prostrate themselves after bowing, and said in an uneven manner, "Greetings, your majesty!"
However, Liu Hao did not seem to mind at all. He even felt that he could not bear it and hurriedly waved his hand politely: "Duke Protector, there is no need to be courteous, it is already a great honor for us to accept your invitation to witness this famous Flowing Cloud Ceremony. You do not need to be overly courteous, just treat me as a bystander!"
Cloud Water Cliff did not speak, he only cupped his fist and bowed politely, then walked to the front of the stage, just as he was about to speak, Clan Elder Han Zhentie suddenly stood up, cupped his fist and bowed to Cloud Water Cliff respectfully, then pointed to Tian Zi Liu Hao and said: "Sect Master, today is my pavilion's great clan's inheritance ceremony that has been going on for thousands of years, I am afraid that there is something not according to the rules right?"
Furthermore, before Cloud Water Cliff could even speak, the Great Elder s of the other peaks also stood up at the same time. After bowing with their fists together, they all supported what Han Zhentie had said.
This immediately caused the atmosphere in the entire plaza to become tense and strange, the Cloud Water Cliff's expression became ugly, he coldly snorted and said: "All of you shut up, I am the sect master, do you really need to wait for a little while to make the decision for me?"
Upon hearing these words, Han Zhentie's knees went weak as she fell to her knees. She quickly explained, "This subordinate does not dare, but this matter is probably ?"
But without waiting for Han Zhentie to finish speaking, Cloud Water Cliff waved his hand and said with an ashen face: "Alright, the rules are dead, but humans are alive, so it's decided, there's no need to discuss anymore, let's begin the Floating Cloud Ceremony!"
Although the elders were a little aggrieved, the Sect Master had made it clear that they did not dare to say anything. However, everyone felt that the strange actions that the Cloud Water Cliff had done today was extremely strange, and at the same time, made Tian Zi Liu Hao feel extremely awkward.
Lei Yang was even more confused. Most of the Dao Children s were probably the same as Lei Yang, but no one dared to talk about it at this time.
Moreover, perhaps it was just an illusion, but ever since Sect Master had arrived, Lei Yang felt that the evil aura had become even denser. He even had an intuition that the evil aura was coming from Cloud Water Cliff's body.
But when he looked around, he realized that the others did not seem to have any special feelings, which made Lei Yang himself somewhat confused. He had no choice but to think in his mind: "Could it be that it's only me who has such feelings?"
Therefore, he could not help but ask Lin Muxiao who was at the side, and said: "As the proverb goes, could it be that the entire world is king and the entire world belongs to him, Liu Hao? Could it be that he is still not allowed to come here?"
"Senior Brother Mo, you might not know something, but this is an ancient taboo in the sect. The Heavenly Son of the Royal Family cannot step foot into the Floating Cloud Pavilion, but I'm not too clear on the cause either!" As Lin Muxiao spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the Cloud Water Cliff on the stage, and a trace of killing intent flashed past his eyes.
"Oh, I see!" Seeing Lin Muxiao like this, Lei Yang hurriedly pretended to ignore him and said. Although Lin Muxiao hid his killing intent, it was still caught by Lei Yang, causing him to feel that there was something strange about the people here that he did not know about.
At this time, the Cloud Water Cliff on the stage had already changed into a benevolent expression, he said to all the elders and Dao Children below the stage: "Today is my Floating Cloud Pavilion's third year Floating Cloud Grand Ceremony, first of all, welcome all of you Dao Children s who have successfully advanced to this stage. Being able to reach here is enough to prove that you are my Floating Cloud Pavilion's pride. Next, I will announce the rules of this Flowing Cloud Ceremony.
Because there were no Dao Children in the Nascent Soul Realm among the Dao Children this time, this Floating Cloud Grand Ceremony only had three realms: the Spirit Qi, Spiritual Source, and Core Formation.
Those who can enter the top thirty in their respective realms will be considered legacy disciples of their sects and will be given the qualifications to cultivate in the Immortal Dao Mountain. They will also be given a separate cultivation courtyard. "
Originally, the atmosphere of the entire arena had become somewhat heavy and strange because of the previous matter, and it had also become Liu Hao, the uninvited guest. However, at this moment, as the Cloud Water Cliff's voice fell, all the Dao Children in the entire plaza immediately began to discuss softly.
To the Dao Children s of the various peaks, being able to cultivate in the Immortal Dao Mountain was their wish that had always existed in their hearts ever since they had entered the Floating Cloud Pavilion. At this moment, being so close to fulfilling this wish, they naturally had to give it their all.
After pausing for a moment, the Cloud Water Cliff continued, "If you can successfully advance into the top three, then you will directly become a member of the sect's main sect and will participate in the" Ascendant tournament "that will occur in a few years time.
Therefore, each of you must display your best skills and strive to get the ideal ranking! "
After saying that, Cloud Water Cliff waved both his hands, and from three different corners of the plaza, three gigantic white jade platforms suddenly rose up, and following that, rows and rows of neat white jade stands rose up around the platforms, very quickly forming three closed fighting grounds.
Lei Yang looked at them and realized that each of them were around the size of the Sun Moon Arena in the center of Lei Family. According to their respective positions, there were probably more than three of them, which corresponded to four realms. However, there were only three for today.
After the dueling platform rose up, Cloud Water Cliff waved his hand lightly in the air, and two gigantic chairs appeared in the sky. He then said to Hou Wen Gang who was behind the white jade stage, "General Manager Hou, you can organize them and bring them to the respective fighting grounds, and draw their lots for the competition."
After Cloud Water Cliff finished speaking, he looked like he was in a completely different state. Lei Yang even felt like he couldn't help but burp, as if he was completely full.
He waved his hand and said casually, "Let the Flowing Cloud Ceremony begin!" Then, he turned around to look at Tian Zi Liu Hao and extended his hand out, "Please!"
Thus, the two of them walked up to the empty seats and quietly watched, causing the group of elders to not know what to do. They really did not understand why Sect Master was so strange today.
