"Rumble …" At this moment, a series of drumming sounds rang out, even more deafening than thunder. After nine drumming sounds, the red clouds began to roll, and rays of golden light pierced through the clouds. Then, the red clouds began to gather in all directions. In just a moment, they had condensed into twenty-eight huge clouds. On the clouds stood twenty-eight Immortal Generals in shining armor. These Immortal Generals had different appearances. Some were thick, some were short, and some were thin. Even their mounts were different. Some were tigers, some were wolves, and there were even some strange rabbits and roosters!
"Twenty-eight Lunar Mansions?" Xiao Hua stopped in the air and glanced around. He could not help but think to himself.
Behind these twenty-eight Immortal Generals, there were dozens of Immortal Soldiers in bright armor. Although the Immortal Soldiers behind each Immortal General held the same weapon, the weapons of the twenty-eight Immortal Generals were different.
At this moment, these Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals all had solemn expressions. The clouds under their feet rolled, and there was another loud drumming sound. Beside each Immortal General, there was a huge man who was several feet tall, holding a huge drumstick. He appeared from the clouds along with the huge heavenly drum.
The huge men were naked from the waist up. Layers of faint mist lingered around them. Under the mist, there was a layer of oily luster on their skin. The luster danced with their muscles, flashing with a strange brilliance.
"Ding ding dong dong …" Among the earth-shaking drumming, there was another burst of music. Although this sound was not as deafening as the drumming, it was still loud. When Xiao Hua and the others raised their heads, in the clouds behind the twenty-eight Immortal Generals, there were women in palace dresses, either holding a flute or a pipa. There were even groups of glittering chimes in the clouds.
After half a meal's worth of time, the drumming gradually subsided, and the music slowly lingered in their ears. A pillar of light more brilliant than the sun emerged from the top of Yaotai Mountain, shining directly at the center of the twenty-eight Immortal Generals. An old man in Confucian attire, wearing a tall crown, and holding a jade tablet in his hand slowly descended from the pillar of light. Wasn't this the lord of Star Lord Palace, Kong Hongwu?
This was the first time Xiao Hua had seen Kong Hongwu. His gaze unconsciously fell on the pillar of light. His eyes narrowed as he carefully sized up this old man with an ancient face.
When Kong Hongwu's figure landed on the twenty-eight immortal generals and stopped about ten feet away, Kong Hongwu looked around and looked at the Taoist cultivators on his left. He raised the jade tablet with both hands, bowed to the rising sun in the east, and said, "My name is Kong Hongwu, a disciple of the Confucian cultivators. I am entrusted by the Confucian cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Continent to take charge of the Star Lord Palace. Today is the day when the Star Lord Palace opens the Yaotai Meeting. I, the thousand star generals, sincerely ask the ancestors of the Confucian cultivators to allow me to open the Yaotai Mountain and hold the Yaotai Meeting!"
Before Kong Hongwu's voice fell, streams of awe-inspiring aura fell from the Yaotai Mountain. That awe-inspiring aura became extremely dazzling with nine colors. Along with this rainbow-like pillar of light, a glittering imperial edict fell from the sky.
Kong Hongwu very exaggeratedly bowed down and received that imperial edict. Then, he opened that imperial edict. "Rumble …" The sound of a tide came from the imperial edict. "Roar …" A huge dragon's roar came from the tide. Soon after, a ten thousand zhang yellow light rushed into the air. That yellow light unexpectedly looked like a dragon leaping into the nine heavens. It fluttered in that nine-colored light for a few moments, then coiled up and laid down on the Yaotai Mountain. A kind of indescribable dragon's might and monarch's authority was even heavier than the Yaotai Mountain's pressure on the hearts of all the Taoist cultivators.
At this time, a voice like a big yellow bell reverberated between heaven and earth. "By the will of the heavens, the ancestors of the Hidden Immortal Continent congratulate each other. Today, at the Yaotai Meeting, the stars will …"
Every word of the imperial edict fell into Xiao Hua's ears and penetrated the bottom of his heart. Every word was like a huge rock that struck Xiao Hua's dao foundation and destroyed his confidence in himself.
"Confucian cultivators … No, it should be said that the methods of the Immortal Palace are really amazing!"
Xiao Hua slightly narrowed his eyes, allowing this Confucian cultivator's sound attack to baptize his dao heart. At this time, Xiao Hua's dao heart was incomparably firm, and his dao foundation was also extremely stable. It was like a towering dragon rock that towered into the sky. No matter how this sound attacked, it could not be damaged in the slightest.
Even in this sound, his dao foundation became even more solid.
Looking at those early Jindan cultivators, many of their eyes began to collapse, and a kind of worship expression gradually emerged.
Of course, without waiting for the voice to finish reading the imperial edict, many cultivators flashed with golden light and began to resist this sound attack. They did not see any particularly embarrassing scene, but this moment of shaking of the dao foundation had already caused some impact. After the imperial edict was read by the heavens, the sound of "By the will of the heavens …" fell, Kong Hongwu led a group of immortal soldiers and immortal generals to bow and salute. He loudly said: "By the will of the heavens, thank the heavens for their grace!"
Among the thousands of cultivators, there were also some people who could not help but follow in a low voice. The fear of the will of the heavens had already quietly been planted in their hearts.
"Boom … …" After the imperial edict was read, a loud sound of waves crashing against the rocks was heard. The entire imperial edict slowly closed, but that huge yellow dragon didn't disappear. When the imperial edict fell into Kong Hongwu's hands, Kong Hongwu gently sent it into the sky. "Shua … …" The imperial edict was like a meteor that soared into the sky and hit the sky. The entire sky shook violently. A huge black hole flashed and a golden frame was revealed. The imperial edict fell into the black hole and disappeared. A dazzling brilliance that was more dazzling than the sun rushed out from the black hole. Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes.
"Roar …" Without waiting for everyone to open their eyes, the coiling dragon looked up to the sky and roared. Its huge body began to swim toward the hole. In just a moment, the dragon disappeared into the hole, and the hole transformed into a dragon gate that was dozens of feet long!
"Whoosh whoosh …" On the side of the dragon gate, the nine-colored pillar rapidly flashed and turned into thousands of nine-colored carps. These carps seemed to be going against the current as they rushed toward the dragon gate!
Waves of heavenly music resounded, and all the carps that rushed through the dragon gate turned into dragons and roared into the nine heavens!
"Fellow Immortals …" Amidst the heavenly music, Kong Hongwu straightened his body. His body expanded under the multi-colored light, and Kong Hongwu said in a dignified manner, "Today, the dragon gate of the Jade Mountain will be opened, and it is the time for you Fellow Immortals to show off your skills.
In order to welcome you Fellow Immortals, my Star Monarch Hall has specially asked the heavens to order us to prepare three unique treasures for you Fellow Immortals. "
As he spoke, Kong Hongwu took out a jade box from his wide sleeve. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "This is the Ghost Gall of the Cold Ghost Gall. Legend has it that it is the Ghost Gall of the Cold Ghost Gall of the tens of thousands of ghosts in the Cold Ghost Gall of the Cold Ghost Gall. Ordinary people would be injured by the ghostly qi within if they hastily looked at it.
This item can be used by a Great Tool Master to refine a Cold Imperial Tool, and it can also be used to refine Dao Sect pills. Of course, the most important use is to help Fellow Immortals with special secret techniques break through their bottlenecks.
If used properly, it can allow Fellow Immortals in the Late Stage of Nascent Soul to break through to the Out of Body stage. "
"Si …" Just as Kong Hongwu finished speaking, many people sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Kong Hongwu's expression didn't change. He raised his hand, and the jade box flew into the sky. Just at that moment, a nine-colored carp transformed into a dragon flew past. With a roar, it opened its mouth and swallowed the jade box into its stomach. Immediately after, it charged into the multi-colored dragon gate and disappeared.
Immediately after, Kong Hongwu leisurely took out another jade box from his other sleeve. He raised his hand and said, "This is the Ancestor of Pure Yang. Legend has it that all of the flames in the world were born from this item.
It was harvested from the True Sun Star by our ancient Confucian Divine Ancestor. It has always been used to condense the most holy and most Yang weapons. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to keep it, only cultivators with special secret techniques would be able to use it.
It is different from the Cold Ghost Gall. This item may not be able to help Fellow Immortals break through their bottlenecks, but if used to refine Fellow Immortals magic treasures, it should be able to reach the Spirit Treasure Realm! "
"Weng …" Kong Hongwu's words immediately ignited everyone's curiosity. Many people exclaimed in low voices. There was an ancient saying in the Hidden Immortal Continent, "Magic treasures are easy to obtain, Spirit Tools are hard to find, Immortal Tools are impossible to find."
On the Hidden Immortal Continent, where the Dao Sects flourished, magic weapons were commonly used by the Dao Sects, and spiritual weapons with spirituality were extremely rare. As for immortal weapons that cultivators couldn't control, it was even more impossible to find traces of them.
The reason why Spirit Tools were so rare was not only because there were very few cultivators who could refine Spirit Tools, but also because the materials that could refine Spirit Tools were even rarer. Now, this so-called Ancestor of Pure Yang was actually able to refine Spirit Treasures that were a level higher than Spirit Tools. Which cultivator could remain calm?
Even if they couldn't refine Spirit Tools, their innate greed had already grown out of their eyes. A pair of hands grabbed onto the jade box in Kong Hongwu's hand.
Among the crowd of cultivators, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with astonishment. He didn't know what the Cold Ghost Gall was, and he didn't have this name in his memory. Moreover, this extremely cold item didn't have any special effect on Xiao Hua's cultivation, so he wasn't very tempted.
But when he heard this Ancestor of Pure Yang, Xiao Hua immediately thought of the Innate True Fire, and even the Innate Fire Essence. However, when Kong Hongwu later said that this Ancestor of Pure Yang was taken from the Sun True Star, Xiao Hua slightly shook his head. How could the Innate Fire Essence be taken from the Sun True Star?
Even Xiao Hua didn't think that this jade box could contain the Innate Fire Essence.
Looking at the greed in the eyes of the crowd of cultivators, Kong Hongwu faintly smiled. With a shake of his hand, the jade box soared into the sky and was swallowed by a Flying Dragon. A layer of strange flame suddenly appeared on the Flying Dragon's body, and it directly rushed into the Dragon Gate and disappeared.
Almost all of the cultivators' eyes followed the Flying Dragon as it landed on the Dragon Gate. No one saw where Kong Hongwu took out the third jade box from.
After the third jade box was taken out, Kong Hongwu didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly looked at the jade box for a moment. The entire Yaotai Mountain only had faint immortal music. All of the cultivators reluctantly shifted their gaze from the Dragon Gate. Many cultivators couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and pricked up their ears, waiting for Kong Hongwu to speak...
