Chapter 803: Chapter 319: Celestial Book Universe Support Group (Double-Length Chapter)_5
With elite members of the Poli Clan guarding the surroundings and Yang Yuqi presiding, the ritual withstands external attacks, yet it continues with difficulty.
Shen Qubing, now fully engaged, disregarded additional concerns and once more sought external assistance.
Upon hearing his description of Yang Yuqi’s ritual, both Earth Guardian Fang Yue and Taiyin Yueyao exclaimed in unison, "Guest Ritual!"
Lei Jun remained silent at this moment, simply listening attentively.
The Confucian Sect’s five major rituals: Auspicious Ritual, Inauspicious Ritual, Military Ritual, Guest Ritual, and Celebratory Ritual.
Among these, the Guest Ritual involves welcoming and farewelling, and is the ritual of hosting guests.
Yang Yuqi, combining forces with the Jiuli People to use the Guest Ritual as a sacrifice, what does he intend to do?
"The Jiuli Clan has long resided in the dark Earth Sea; compared to other Witch Gate Cultivators, they possess strong physiques yet become light-fearing, feeling uncomfortable even under the night sky of the Mortal World."
Taiyin Yueyao slowly said, "But if Yang Yuqi uses the Guest Ritual to help them craft suitable ritual instruments, perhaps he can break conventional boundaries..."
Even Jiuli experts of the Nine Heavens Realm seldom leave the black mist area, regardless of day or night.
And what sets Yang Yuqi apart is that he, besides being a Great Scholar of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, is also the most legitimate descendant of the former royal family.
Even though the Former Sui has lost its kingdom, for the Mortal World, the Yang Family of the Sui Dynasty still holds some special significance.
His Guest Ritual holds a special meaning for the Jiuli People.
It’s akin to opening the door and inviting a thief in.
"Yang Yuqi, after all, is of the former royal family, would he really do such a thing?" Earth Guardian Fang Yue frowned, "Even if he succeeds, it won’t restore the Great Sui kingdom."
Lei Jun’s tone was calm, "Nothing left to lose, he’s become a gambler."
Taiyin Yueyao: "We must not let him succeed."
Earth Guardian Fang Yue evidently agreed.
He consulted with Taiyin Yueyao immediately, then instructed Shen Qubing in the Earth Sea.
Thus, the Guest Ritual was broken.
Yang Yuqi’s plans failed.
"As expected, he refined a large number of ritual instruments, most of which were destroyed, leaving only three or four."
Fire Guardian Shen Qubing briefly said, "Everyone should still guard against some Jiuli experts infiltrating the Mortal World, I will now pursue Yang Yuqi!"
The moment his words fell, the star symbolizing Mars Fire Radiance dimmed.
Under the starlight, Lei Jun and the others exchanged glances.
Taiyin Yueyao: "Fire Yao has a heart like a child, intentions as firm as iron, truly rare and commendable, and because of this, he finds support in many."
Mercury Water Luminary: "I’m more concerned about what he can bring back."
Earth Guardian Fang Yue: "A gentleman bestows kindness without expecting return, I personally don’t need anything in return from Fire Yao, but I also don’t oppose it. If this forms a norm, it could lead to closer cooperation and mutual support in the future rather than wariness and suspicion."
Taiyin Yueyao: "Indeed, today marks another significant progress, hopefully there will be more similar cooperation in the future."
Lei Jun and Future Maitreya Mu Yao did not say much.
Later, in the midst of busyness, Shen Qubing sent back some more information.
The first piece nearly caused Lei Jun to choke:
"The Celestial Master Tang from Dragon Tiger Mountain, wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword, also engaged in a major battle with the Poli Clan Chief Li Yan in the Earth Sea. The subsequent situation is unclear!"
Li Yan was the very Jiuli Grand Shaman of the Nine Heavens who once killed Ye Liang and others.
While Lei Jun contemplated the ramifications of his sect leader’s battle with the opponent, he quickly received proactive contact from Tang Xiaotang.
Borrowing Lei Jun’s Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman, the Celestial Master Tang sent a message back, "Lei Jun, either you or Master Yuan, bring the Celestial Master Seal to me, I currently cannot conveniently leave the Earth Sea."
Lei Jun: "Only the Celestial Master Seal, not the Celestial Master Robe?"
Tang Xiaotang: "You may bring the Celestial Master Robe at your discretion, but the Celestial Master Seal must be brought over."
