I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 709 - 451: Ancestor Worship Begins! Heaven and Earth Change Colors! (Don’t Raise Books)_3

Chapter 709: Chapter 451: Ancestor Worship Begins! Heaven and Earth Change Colors! (Don’t Raise Books)_3

And this move also made Chen Yuan’s expression solemn.

Such ingenious control over Primordial Energy was not something one could achieve easily—it required meticulous attention to detail, and at least for now, he was not capable of performing such a feat.

Yet, he did not sense any dangerous aura emanating from these four Daoist priests.

All one could say was that these fellows had quite the special skill.

Even a Dan Realm Master would fall short.

At the same time, the ancient sound of war horns began to rise, those brawny men with imposing figures held their breath and blew fiercely, their sounds spreading across nearly ten thousand meters...

At this moment, within Qingyun Temple in the Capital,

Qingyunzi, dressed in a Daoist robe, reclined casually in a chair, slightly rocking himself as he fanned with the fan in his hand, his eyes slightly squinted as he watched the Golden Dragon and Fire Phoenix in the void.

"Master, look quickly, it’s a divine sign!"

The few young Daoist disciples beside him were extremely excited at this spectacle.

Their age was not great, and even though it was not the first time they had witnessed such a scene, they were still overwhelmingly thrilled.

"I see..."

The old master nodded with a smile.

"Master, why didn’t you go to treat the nearby followers today?"

One of the Daoist disciples casually asked.

Though the Royal Family’s ancestral worship forbade marriages and funerals, it didn’t prohibit normal activities.

"I’m feeling a bit unwell today, so I wanted to rest for the day."

"Oh."

"Master, do you think this is the work of immortals?"

"Perhaps...."

"How envious, immortals must be able to live forever."

"That’s not necessarily the case, it depends on the type of immortal."

"Master, why didn’t you let your disciples go out today when you’re not feeling well?"

"Last night, I observed the Heavenly Phenomenon, and I sensed that today might not be peaceful; it’s safer to stay inside the temple." freёweɓnovel_com

As time ticked by, the sound of the horns gradually came to a stop, yet the Golden Dragon and Fire Phoenix in the void did not disappear. An official from the Ministry of Rites took a deep breath and declared loudly,

"The auspicious time has arrived, please... ancestral spirits!"

The resonant voice echoed in everyone’s ears, and one by one, the officials from the Ministry of Rites started to step out, and after a series of intricate rituals, several officials reverently held up jade tablets bearing the names of the past emperors of Great Jin and slowly placed them on the altar.

These were the tablets of Great Jin’s successive emperors, worshipped during the ancestral offering.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze calm as he surveyed his surroundings.

Calm, solemn, it seemed as if everyone’s gaze was drawn to the ancestral worship.

There was no anomaly to be seen.

At the end, a senior member of the Royal Family solemnly stepped forward with a jade box in both hands, approaching the platform step by step.

The jade box was opened, revealing a quaint stone tripod the size of a palm.

Upon seeing the tripod, Chen Yuan suddenly felt an inexplicable pang of excitement, its origin unknown but distinctly special to him.

Could it be ambition?

Chen Yuan had heard about the origins of this stone tripod.

It was a secret to others, but Chen Yuan had heard Chu Changfeng mention it the day before, claiming that this object... was very likely one of the Exotic Treasures used by the court to anchor the nation’s fate.

Legend had it that there were nine such tripods, crafted by the Human Race’s Martial Emperor soon after he established his rule during Ancient Times. Over thousands of years, they had mostly been scattered.

Only Grand Ancestor Chu managed to find one.

After the Sima Royal Family usurped the throne, they inherited this Treasure Tripod, a symbol of their legitimate rule.

But it was only a possibility, after all, if it was truly a treasure capable of suppressing the nation’s fate, would it be casually shown to others?

They surely aren’t afraid of it being stolen, are they?

In Chu Changfeng’s account, Chen Yuan also heard mention of the story between the Grand Ancestor of Chu and a certain tripod, recorded in history as the Grand Ancestor’s valor being unmatched, his strength able to lift a tripod.

It was unclear if this was the very same tripod being referred to.

But as he thought about it, he quickly dismissed the idea.

This tripod was only the size of a palm, and could be lifted by the members of the royal family; how could it be the Divine Tripod spoken of in rumors?

Wouldn’t that mean that just about anyone could lift it?

As for this one, Chen Yuan felt it was probably just a symbol.

After all, tripods have been significant vessels since ancient times.

The simple stone tripod was placed upon the sacrificial altar by an elderly member of the royal family with reverence.

Then, it was quickly moved aside.

A Great Scholar with hair and beard both white stepped forward in his official robe, stood to one side, and declared in a grave voice:

"The ancestral sacrifice ceremony, begins!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone around immediately turned solemn.

After the elder spoke, he began to recite the sacrificial text.

It was very intricate and somewhat tongue-twisting.

However, Chen Yuan thought he understood the general meaning; it was more or less about Jingtai continuing the aspirations of the ancestors, striving to govern with diligence, ensuring the people live in peace and contentment, with the Great Jin Dynasty prospering for ten thousand generations and such.

And incidentally to ask the blessings of the ancestors...

But that was all he did—just listened; not even the pioneer of Martial Arts, the Martial Emperor of the human race, could ensure the everlasting continuation of a dynasty, nor could the once-in-a-millennium Grand Ancestor of Chu extend its duration more than eight hundred years.

The Great Jin, what virtues and capabilities does it have?

Jingtai, what virtues and capabilities does it have?

What’s more, today’s court is fraught with internal and external troubles, and its declining situation has already begun to show. Beyond the Central State, how many of the jianghu forces from the various states still regard the court as an object of reverence?

This, Chen Yuan, who had risen from obscurity to his current status, knew best.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed such ambition.

It was precisely because he saw hope that his ambition surged forth.

After the Academy’s Great Scholar finished reciting the sacrificial text, Jingtai stepped forward calmly, a tremendous aura of majesty swirling about him, a dignity unique to an Emperor.

Sublime and incomparable, making people look up in awe.

Chen Yuan clearly saw a look of submission and respect in the eyes of the officials around him, and a glimpse of yearning in the eyes of several princes.

The ruler of a nation, the Supreme under heaven.

With a single command, the world trembles, a million lie in death, blood flows for a thousand miles.

How could such a lofty position not make subjects submit and be respectful? How could it not arouse longing in people’s hearts?

Chen Yuan was no exception.

He watched the figure whose mere presence made everyone’s hearts submit, their faces show reverence, and a surge of turbulent ambition erupted in the depths of his eyes, as he said to himself:

"One day, I shall take his place!"
