Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 157 - Sacrifice

Chapter 157 Sacrifice

“Alright, put it down.”

The Empress’s voice was cold, as if it had descended from the Nine Heavens and reached Yu Wei’s ears.

“Yes, Your Grace.” Yu Wei knelt on the ground and prostrated herself. She held the envelope with both hands and placed it on the jade platform beside her. “Your Majesty, Deva Pei has another sentence for this Minister to convey.”

The female officials of the inner court originally called themselves servants, but after the Empress ascended to the throne, they were ordered to call themselves Officials.

Therefore, most of the female officials addressed themselves as “Minister”.

“Oh?” The Empress seemed a little surprised and chuckled. “What’s the sentence? It’s actually not written in the letter. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you to keep it a secret?”

“Your Grace, you know that my mouth is the tightest.” Yu Wei knelt on the ground and bowed her head. She said respectfully, “Deva Pei said that the bald donkey from the Baolin Buddhist Hall is acting strangely. He asked Your Grace to be careful.”

“Alright, I understand.” The Empress nodded slightly and waved her hand. “You can leave.”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.” Yu Wei bowed and left.

However, she was a little puzzled. This kind of thing about the Baolin Buddhist Hall was obviously a secret. Why wasn’t it written in the letter?

At this moment, in the Empress’s chamber.

The slender figure behind the screen raised her hand gently. With a twist of her slender wrist, the letter on the jade platform flew up into the air and landed in her palm.

“What is this cripple doing?” The Empress’s voice seemed to be a little puzzled.

Then, she opened the wax and took out the letter.

After reading it briefly, she sat up from the bed.

She no longer lay lazily.

If one stood in front of the screen, they would be able to see the light veil draped over the Empress’s body floating to the ground.

She was clearly a little agitated.

The contents of the letter were very simple.

“Junior Sister, the sword-wielding guardians of the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace came to find me three days ago and said that they already had information about my master. If I want to know, I’ll have to promise them one thing.

They wanted me to invite you out of the Great Zhou Imperial City. When the 100-year period comes, we will head to the Lower World together and plunder the providence below. I rejected this request.

However, I’m still very curious about what information they have. Is it really related to Immortal Venerable? I have to think of a way to pry open their mouths.

Looks like I should have found the Immortal Venerable earlier than you, right, Junior Sister?”

“Hmph!” After the Empress finished reading the letter, she burned it. She calmed down and sneered. “Heh, what Junior Sister? I’m your Senior Sister! How rude.”

When she saw the contents of the letter, she understood why Pei Qingshu did not write about the Baolin Buddhist Hall.

Because this letter mentioned Immortal Venerable.

If the words “Baolin Buddhist Hall” were to be placed in this letter, it would be disrespectful to Immortal Venerable.

Both she and Pei Qingshu were extremely grateful to the Immortal Venerable who had taught them the Immortal martial techniques.

However, because they could not find that Immortal Venerable, the two of them strictly insisted on maintaining their respect for him.

To this day, this habit has lasted for 150 years.

It’d completely integrated into their words and actions.

No matter what they did, they would first consider if it would be disrespectful to Immortal Venerable.

Naturally, this also included when writing letters.

“However, does the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace really have information about Immortal Venerable? Or are they just fishing for me to go to the Lower World?”

The Empress frowned slightly and slowly stood up. She picked up the gauze dress on the ground and with a gentle flick of her wrist, she actually turned her killing intent into a sword.

“Hmph, Junior Brother is still Junior Brother. Since this concerns the whereabouts of Immortal Venerable, what is the point of talking so much? Just kill your way over!”

With that, she walked out from behind the screen.

She held a long sword.

Her red clothes were like fire!

….

Half a month pa.s.sed quickly.

The capitals of the various states began to prepare for a large-scale sacrifice.

This was hosted by the State Overseers, followed by top-notch and even Deity Realm experts. There were also Upper World Angels watching the grand ceremony.

In addition, there were as many as 10,000 people in the sacrificial team. Every one of them was dressed in incomparably gorgeous sacrificial suits. All kinds of ritual tools and top-grade items were displayed.

This was the once-in-a-century sacrificial ceremony to welcome the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World.

Naturally, it could not be said to be not solemn and grand.

Under this atmosphere, the mood of the entire Great Jin became much more solemn.

There was a mountain in the Central Continent Imperial City.

According to the normal etiquette system, as the capital of a country, the ritual to welcome the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World should be different from the other states. The Emperor would host the ceremony himself.

However, Emperor Wei Yi gave up at the last minute.

Chu Yuanliang could only go up and preside over the ceremony. Fortunately, he also had the position of Central Prefecture’s Governor, so this was barely in line with the etiquette system.

However, as the Emperor, Wei Yi still had to go through the motions.

When Chu Yuanliang finished setting up and the sacrificial ceremony was about to be completed.

Emperor Jianyan, Wei Yi, finally came out, wearing a n.o.ble Emperor’s robe and a 12 ringed crown. He arrived at the foot of the mound and slowly ascended the steps.

Next, he only needed to stand on the mound and bow to the sky, shouting, “Welcome to the mortal world, Upper World’s Immortals and Buddhas.”

However, Wei Yi clearly did not understand the steps of the ritual.

When he said that he wanted to go through the motions, he was really unprepared.

When he stood on the mound, he realized that everyone seemed to be looking at him. Their gazes seemed to be asking him to say something.

“Prime Minister, what should I say?” Wei Yi quietly moved his feet and approached Chu Yuanliang. He lowered his voice and asked, “I don’t remember.”

“…” Chu Yuanhao almost fainted from anger on the spot. He could only suppress the blood surging in his chest and say in an extremely low voice, “Your Majesty, please bow to the sky and welcome the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World to the mortal world.”

“So it’s that simple.” Wei Yi smiled when he heard this, but he still had a carefree and lazy appearance. He crookedly bowed to the heavens in an extremely inaccurate posture and shouted, “Upper World Immortals and Buddhas, welcome to the mortal world!”

As soon as he finished speaking

Buzz!

It was as if Wei Yi’s voice had triggered some strange laws of heaven and earth, causing the void to tremble. A golden light suddenly descended from the sky and slowly opened to both sides.

It was like a door to the Immortal World!

….

At the same time, a similar situation happened in the other nine provinces of the Great Jin.

Beams of light descended from the sky and opened the door to the Immortal World!

Then, figures slowly descended from inside.

….

Fengzhou also held a grand sacrificial ceremony.

Cui Heng was wearing an official uniform and standing on the sacrificial platform. Behind him were Hui Shi, Zhang Shuming, and a group of Deity Realm experts from the Immortal Dawn Sect.

Around him were tens of thousands of citizens, but there were no ritual tools or sacrifices.

Next, as long as Cui Heng shouted the words, this ritual could be completed.
