Chapter 1278 Ancestral Worship
The people of the Bai Clan, inside and outside, went up and down like the divine figures in the immortal clouds, lofty and lofty.
From afar, there were probably hundreds of thousands of people, and the higher their seniority, the higher they floated, as if they could faintly be seen in the clouds.
Then, a rainbow light descended from the sky, and a person slowly appeared in the light.
The man was dressed in a white robe with silver tattoos on his sleeves and neck. The front of his robe was empty, but there was a silver dragon embroidered on his back.
This person's eyes were narrow and long, and his eyebrows were like sharp swords. His pair of eyes looked around, but it was as if he couldn't see anything, or didn't put anything in his eyes.
Seeing his appearance, he was only around twenty years old. He looked like a dignified and beautiful man, but his long hair was bright silver.
At this moment, the entire Bai Clan was kneeling on the ground, in the air, and in the clouds.
And heard the Bai Clan shouting "Great Ancestor" in unison.
Mo Ling whispered in Xiang Nan's ear, "This person is the highest-ranking elder of the Bai Clan, and also the head of the Bai Clan, Bai He."
"His cultivation has already reached the Transformation Realm. I wonder how many times he has reached the Transformation Realm. I have even heard rumors that he is the first person in history who is about to cross the threshold of the ninth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation. He has already reached the late stage of the ninth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation and half a foot has stepped into the Spirit Void Realm."
"Spirit Void?" Xiang Nanqi said. This was the first time he had heard this word.
Old Man Mo Ling said, "That is an imagination of the world towards the heavenly tribulation. The martial artists of our world believe that there may be a realm above the heavenly tribulation, but they do not know what the name of that realm is, so they call it Spirit Void."
Xiang Nan looked around and found that only two-thirds of the hundreds of thousands of people were kneeling. The others were all standing respectfully and did not kneel like him.
Mo Ling introduced to Xiang Nan that those who did not kneel were not from the Bai Clan. There were many respected sect elders and profound dao experts invited by the Bai Clan at the ancestor worship ceremony.
There were also some other clansmen who, although they did not belong to the Bai Clan, had served the Bai Clan for many years and had made outstanding contributions to the battle.
Xiang Nan nodded silently, including Xuan Qingzhu, who was also standing.
At this moment, Bai He took out an ancient scroll and slowly unfolded it. It was a set of ancestral ritual scriptures.
Before Bai He could open his mouth, a voice that was neither light nor heavy, neither slow nor anxious, neither humble nor arrogant came out.
The etiquette Bai He read was basically words that flaunted the glory of the Bai Clan. From the establishment of the Bai Clan to the peerless experts, ancestors, and sages that had appeared from generation to generation in the Bai Clan.
Moreover, the Bai Clan's current status in the world had caused many earth-shattering events.
All the members of the Bai Clan listened respectfully, listening intoxicated, listening to those brilliant histories, causing each of them to have an indescribable pride on their faces.
That kind of pride came from the bottom of one's heart, from the depths of one's soul to one's expression.
Hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel sad. He was once a member of the Bai Clan. If there weren't any clansmen who offered him up to the Profound Sky Sect, he would definitely be as proud of the glory of the Bai Clan as they were today.
Unfortunately, he was an abandoned person.
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan felt sad in his heart and bitter in his mouth.
After Bai He finished reading the ancestral ritual, he looked towards the southeast and said, "Spirit Spring, the ceremony will be handed over to you to preside over."
A gray-haired old man slowly floated out of the elder's seat.
The old man took over the position of White River, and White River rose a little higher. His entire body suddenly grew many times larger, like a humanoid auspicious cloud enveloping the sky.
Elder Bai Lingquan cleared his throat and announced the process of the ancestral worship ceremony.
The Bai Clan had to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. There was nothing to pay attention to in this aspect. Most clans would have sacrifices to their ancestors at the grand ceremony.
The second process was to preach, with the respected elders of the Bai Clan speaking and the others watching.
This process was specifically set up for outsiders. Those who did not belong to the Bai Clan's bloodline, but had been risking their lives for the Bai Clan for many years, were allowed to listen to it. This was a benefit the Bai Clan had given them.
The third process was to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.
After listening to Bai Lingquan's detailed introduction, Xiang Nan finally understood the second level of the Bai Clan's ancestor worship ceremony.
Bai Wuya was the number one expert who had obtained the Grand Dao. That's right, he wasn't a peak expert, nor was he a top expert. Instead, he was the number one expert! This had never been questioned by anyone since ancient times.
Bai Wuya had put in a lot of effort for the sake of his descendants. Although he still hadn't stepped into the so-called Spiritual Void Realm, his cultivation and cultivation had reached an unprecedented level.
The so-called ancestral worship was to select the most outstanding, meritorious, and potential group of young people from the Bai Clan over the past three years to receive the blessings of their ancestor, Bai Wuya.
Every time the ancestor worshiped, he would choose twenty young people. Out of these twenty people, only six would be chosen to receive blessings. In the future, these six people would be nurtured as elders of the Bai Clan.
Once they were blessed, their status would be greatly different. Not only were they important in the Bai Clan, they were also existences respected by tens of thousands of people in the entire world of martial arts.
Mo Ling introduced Xiang Nandao. The so-called blessing had real benefits. Not only was it a nominal increase in status, it was also an increase in cultivation realm and a perfection of foundation.
A martial artist would find it difficult to reach perfection in any realm stage. Take the Tian Yuan realm as an example.
Perhaps a martial artist's cultivation was especially stable when he was at the first level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, but when he was at the second level, due to some limitations, he had no choice but to speed up his cultivation. Then, his cultivation level at the second level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm would not be so perfect, or perhaps he could not wait to reach the third level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm after reaching 70-80% of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.
The blessings of the Bai Clan could fill all of a martial artist's previous realms to the Great Perfection.
This kind of benefit was impossible to obtain no matter what miraculous pill one consumed.
At this moment, the offering had already begun.
The sacrifices could not be carried out by the ordinary Bai Clan, but by the sacrifices specially chosen by the Bai Clan. There were a total of 20 sacrifices, all of them were young people around the age of twenty-four or fifteen.
Mo Ling said. These sacrifices were the experts who needed to receive the blessings of the third link.
Xiang Nan nodded slightly. He looked around and saw that the twenty young priests were all Seven Meridians experts!
They all possessed four Heavenly Grade talents, as well as three Earth Grade talents.
This talent was countless times stronger than Yue Donghai, who was known as the Seven Extreme Veins. Although the priests' talent was also the Seven Veins, it was "Four Heavens, Three Earths". They were only half a step away from the five Heavenly Spiritual Veins.
From the looks of it, it was no wonder that Bai Wuchen was known as the number one expert in the starry sky. The five Heavenly Spiritual Meridians were extremely rare in the Bai Clan.
After the twenty sacrificial offerings were completed, it would be the preaching segment.
At this time, every outsider who had made great contributions to the Bai Clan sent three messengers to the altar.
Mo Ling nodded and said, "We've finally reached this stage. Xiang Nan, don't act rashly. Remember not to escape. I'm going to the altar now."
