Chapter 1953: Chapter 1953: Dao God’s Sacrificial Ritual
"A figure who stands shoulder to shoulder with the senior brother?"
Qin Chen felt slightly astonished.
Ye Wutian’s fame spread throughout Qian State, known by all, acknowledged by none.
This person could actually be on par with the senior brother, and although Qin Chen didn’t know much about him, he understood that his status in Dao Village must be remarkable.
If it weren’t for today’s ceremony to worship Dao God, he might not even appear.
"Dao Son."
Seeing Qian Ziyu arrive.
Xue Ningjun and many other Dao Village officials all respectfully saluted Qian Ziyu.
The salute from the Daoist King was enough to prove how high Qian Ziyu’s status was in Dao Village.
"One of the Eight Great Legends of Qian State, Dao Village, Qian Ziyu."
A slight commotion arose at the scene.
However, Qian Ziyu maintained a calm demeanor, his gaze fixed on the Daoist God Stone Statue, eyes filled with devotion and reverence, as he stepped forward to offer incense to Dao God.
"Eight Great Legends?"
Qin Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Wang Houyun.
Wang Houyun lowered his voice and spoke quietly: "Both Qian Ziyu and your senior brother Ye Wutian are among the ranks of the Eight Great Legends, and it’s precisely this title that has made them famous worldwide."
"The Eight Great Legends are hailed as the future of Qian State."
The future of Qian State!
Qin Chen’s heart was deeply shaken.
No wonder even Xue Ningjun and other Dao Kings saluted Qian Ziyu.
Moreover, besides Ye Wutian and Qian Ziyu, there are six other legends.
"It seems that the vastness of Qian State is far beyond my current understanding; it is much grander than I imagined."
Qin Chen felt a sense of urgency within.
The Qian State Contest in two years is sure to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
"Village Chief."
At this moment.
Xue Ningjun and the rest of Dao Village’s people looked towards a particular location, greeting softly.
An elderly figure approached.
Just like Qian Ziyu.
The elder’s attire was equally unremarkable.
Not a single trace of aura emanated from his body, appearing just like an ordinary person.
Yet Qin Chen dared not underestimate him.
"Village Chief of Dao Village, Lord Ziran."
Qin Chen’s gaze focused on the elderly man.
Like the Extreme Origin Dao Master, the village chief of Dao Village was also a formidable figure in the Daoist Lord Realm, titled ’Lord Ziran.’
At this moment.
All outsiders, including Huangfu Xuanming, Huang Xuanzhong, Yuan Sha, and others, paid their respects to Lord Ziran.
A Daoist Lord should be respected at the pinnacle of Qian State, regardless of whether they belonged to Dao Village or not.
Lord Ziran slightly raised his hand, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.
"First, on behalf of Dao Village, I welcome all of you who have come to our Dao Village to participate in the worship of Dao God."
Lord Ziran appeared somewhat old, and his speech carried a sense of exhaustion.
Yet, no one dared to underestimate him.
"Is everyone here?"
Lord Ziran looked at Xue Ningjun.
Xue Ningjun nodded.
Lord Ziran walked to Qian Ziyu’s side.
At this moment, only Qian Ziyu stood shoulder to shoulder with Lord Ziran.
The former is the future of Dao Village, the future of Qian State, while the latter is the strongest in Dao Village, standing at the pinnacle of Qian State.
These two are both figures of remarkable influence.
"Let the worship of Dao God begin."
"Dong!"
As Lord Ziran’s words fell.
An awe-inspiring sound permeated the entire hall, echoing in the hearts of everyone present, akin to the feeling of thousands of bells being struck simultaneously.
Calming the hearts of everyone present.
A magic wand appeared in Lord Ziran’s hand, and he used it to tap the ground.
A visible circle of magic runes was released, eventually surging into the Daoist God Stone Statue.
The Daoist God Stone Statue erupted with radiance.
Lord Ziran was the first to kneel before the Daoist God Stone Statue.
"Boom!"
This kneeling immediately caused the Daoist God Stone Statue to tremble.
"The thirtieth village chief of Dao Village, Ziran, pays respect to the founder!"
Lord Ziran’s gaze was incomparably devout.
The Daoist God Stone Statue emitted rolling Divine Power.
This Divine Power was exceedingly terrifying, permeating the surroundings, causing a sense of alarm and fear in everyone.
Yet the miraculous aspect was.
Everyone could feel the very terror of this Divine Power, but it caused not a bit of harm to them.
One by one, runes flew out from within the Daoist God Stone Statue.
Slowly gathering into circles of rune rings, rotating around the Daoist God Stone Statue.
At the same time.
All the people of Dao Village immediately clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and began chanting incantations incomprehensible to outsiders.
These incantations, together with the runes flying out from the Daoist God Stone Statue, formed a mysterious connection, akin to resonance, gradually strengthening the aura within Dao Pond.
Qin Chen was overwhelmed by the scene around him.
It wasn’t just him.
Anyone witnessing the worship of Dao God for the first time, or even those who had been to Dao Village before, was inevitably shaken by the power of inheritance and faith of Dao Village.
This was a form of communication.
A unique way for the people of Dao Village to communicate with their founder, Dao God.
Gradually.
Qin Chen noticed.
Many of Dao Village’s people became visibly emotional, some even shedding tears.
"Dao Village is without a doubt a force with unimaginable cohesion."
Witnessing this scene.
The status of Dao Village in Qin Chen’s mind rose another notch.
The most frightening aspect of Dao Village is their faith. Dao God is their faith.
This faith not only allows them to gain strength from Dao God but also endears them further to Dao Village, increasing their trust in Dao Village.
As a result, the cohesion naturally becomes stronger.
"This Dao God truly had foresight, likely pondering for a long time prior how to leave blessings for future generations."
"The runes flying out of the Daoist God Stone Statue actually merge with the incantations they chant, finally transforming into power flowing into their bodies."
"This power is periodic, meaning it can enable these people of Dao Village to rapidly improve their strength over a prolonged period."
"And when this strength is almost spent, it will be time for the next year’s worship of Dao God, thus creating a cycle. Can you say the strength of Dao Village’s people isn’t formidable?"
Even Little Fairy couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Qin Chen silently nodded, considering that if he one day reached the absolute peak, he might also use a similar method to benefit future generations.
"Boom!"
Just then.
The Daoist God Stone Statue trembled intensely.
The momentum was exceptionally vast.
Even Lin Songyun was startled.
Yet the people of Dao Village seemed oblivious, still keeping their eyes closed.
"What is happening?"
Lin Songyun was somewhat confused.
Wang Houyun, who seemed quite knowledgeable about the worship of Dao God, explained: "The worship of Dao God is divided into two stages."
"The first stage is called the Dao God’s Blessing."
"You should have seen this previously; it’s where Dao God rewards his descendants with blessings."
"Next is the second stage."
"The favor of Daoist God Light."
