Your Senior Brother Xinghe Is Picking Up the Tab for Everything!
After the theme for the Millennial Joyous Sacrifice was decided, none of the Civil Engineering Department students dared to start construction, because the theme was probably a bit too audacious, wasn't it?
Therefore, the Civil Engineering Department disciples, along with their Senior Brother Feng Fei, reported this news to the sect almost immediately.
When Sect Gu Mingchao and the Grand Elder heard the words "Millennial Joyous Sacrifice," they were all stunned.
Um... would you like to hear what you're saying?
Turning a sacrificial ceremony into a joyous occasion? Is that something a human being could come up with?
What? This was Xinghe's idea?
Even if Xinghe came up with this, isn't it a bit too outrageous?
So what exactly is Xinghe trying to do?
The Grand Elder wanted to ask Xinghe immediately, but was stopped by the Sect Master.
To be honest, if it were anyone else who had heard this news today, even if it were Elder He who had pulled off some kind of Millennial Joyous Sacrifice, Gu Mingchao would have cracked Elder He's head open to see Elder He had gone mad.
But this was created by Xinghe...
When has Xinghe ever let the sect down?
When has Xinghe ever acted recklessly?
Therefore, Xinghe's proposal of the theme of the Millennial Joyous Sacrifice must have a profound meaning.
Gu Mingchao said, "Elder, don't be impatient. Since we've entrusted the matter of the Millennial Grand Sacrifice to Xinghe, we must trust Xinghe. So let's Watch Quietly as Things Change!"
Although the Grand Elder was bewildered, he eventually nodded after thinking about Xinghe's past.
Since we've chosen Xinghe, we should trust Xinghe completely; Xinghe will never let us down.
Finally, the Grand Elder waved his hand and said, "Let's do it Xinghe's way!"
The Civil Engineering Department disciples left Haotian Palace looking completely bewildered, but since the Sect Master and the Grand Elder had both given their approval, what could they possibly say...?
Let's do it... Just follow Junior Brother Xinghe's plan, make it as festive as possible... This Millennial Joyous Sacrifice is sure to give the whole world a huge surprise...
Feng Fei was also completely bewildered, but seeing Junior Brother Xinghe's confident demeanor, Feng Fei had no choice but to trust Junior Brother Xinghe.
Soon, Lu Chengqing from the Southern Branch received a message from the sect and rushed back to the Vast Heaven Sect from the Southern Branch.
Lu Chengqing was initially reluctant to return, given that he had been living through various fantasy blockbusters lately.
It has to be said that the appeal of fantasy blockbusters is truly explosive.
Every performance was packed to capacity... Just look at the venue; wherever there was room for people, it was teeming with spectators.
Although Senior Brother Xinghe declared that art is priceless and he would never sell tickets... Lu Chengqing still made a fortune.
Once the Tribute Ranking was released, bigwigs from all walks of life felt embarrassed to attend a performance without giving a tip.
Most importantly, just a few days after Cheng Xiaotian topped the Tribute Ranking, he was surpassed by Xing Yushen, the Cloud Firmament Sect, with a generous donation.
Lu Chengqing didn't take it seriously at first, but Cheng Xiaotian couldn't stand it.
Who do you think you are, Xing Yushen, the Cloud Firmament Sect? You think you can compete with me for the top spot on the leaderboard?
Cheng Xiaotian couldn't sit still any longer and immediately used a batch of spirit stones to pull the Cloud Firmament Sect down from the top spot on the rankings.
The Cloud Firmament Sect isn't one to back down easily. You, Cheng Xiaotian me? Do you think I'd back down?
So the two big shots were fiercely competing for the top spot on the Tribute Ranking.
The current Tribute Ranking is even more intense than the Heavenly Dao Ranking.
The bigwigs from all sides took turns appearing on stage, and they certainly showed their respect in order to secure their rankings.
Lu Chengqing has made a fortune.
Just as Lu Chengqing was smiling, he suddenly received news that he was to return to the sect, which infuriated Lu Chengqing.
Do you know how much we'll lose if we miss a single performance?
What? Senior Brother Xinghe summoned me? Quick, quick... set up a teleportation array for me... I need to return to my sect!
Known for his frugality, Lu Chengqing immediately returned to the sect upon being summoned by Senior Brother Xinghe, using the teleportation array.
Soon, Lu Chengqing met Senior Brother Xinghe learned from him the purpose of summoning him back.
For the Millennial Grand Sacrifice?
But what does this Millennial Grand Sacrifice have to do with me Lu Chengqing? I'm in charge of entertainment... I know nothing about rituals.
But soon, after learning about Senior Brother Xinghe's plan, Lu Chengqing was completely dumbfounded.
Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, do you want to hear what you're saying...? You know that's utter nonsense!
You're going to gather the best musicians in the world... the strongest performers... to put on a performance for the Millennial Grand Sacrifice?
Senior Brother Xinghe, are you sure you're not just messing around with me Lu Chengqing?
This is such a solemn event, Millennial Grand Sacrifice; shouldn't we treat it with a somber tone?
So at first, Lu Chengqing thought that Senior Brother Xinghe wanted to find the best musicians to play some melodies that expressed sorrow. As for the best performers, did Senior Brother Xinghe want them to cry up there?
Actually, Senior Brother Xinghe, you didn't need to hire those actors at all. You have no idea, during every Grand Ceremony, the performances of those big shots are better than those of professional actors...
But soon, Lu Chengqing learned that it wasn't what he thought at all. Senior Brother Xinghe wasn't going to have the professional performers perform that... but rather a different program?
When Lu Chengqing Senior Brother Xinghe's performance was going to be... he was dumbfounded.
Based on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, Senior Brother Xinghe intends to present the entire Battle Against Evil Spirits to everyone in a storytelling format, making people feel as if they have traveled back a thousand years and witnessed this Battle Against Evil Spirits firsthand.
Lu Chengqing was stunned by Senior Brother Xinghe's idea.
Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, do you know how much manpower and resources are needed for a performance like this?
Even if our Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation were to go all out, it would still require countless actors and musicians... This would absolutely be an epic performance.
So that's what Senior Brother Xinghe meant by reminiscing about the past?
Is this what Senior Brother Xinghe meant by time travel?
Although Lu Chengqing had produced countless fantasy blockbusters, to be honest, he was still terrified.
The final battle of the Battle Against Evil Spirits took place in Ten Thousand Evils City, where countless powerful figures from all over the world gathered. That battle was also the one in which the powerful figures of the world completely eliminated the evil spirits.
Senior Brother Xinghe built a city in the Haotian Mountain Range to recreate the entire Ten Thousand Evils City's Battle to Vanquish Evil. The scale and requirements of this great battle were so grand that even Lu Chengqing felt it was an epic challenge.
It's only because Senior Brother Xinghe was the chief planner that Lu Chengqing dared to take on such a job; otherwise, he would never have dared to do it with just anyone.
After explaining his thoughts to Lu Chengqing, seeing Lu Chengqing's stunned expression, Chu Xinghe knew he had it in the bag.
This final Battle to Vanquish Evil, even if restored with the help of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, would be an epic undertaking.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation could portray the Evil Spirit Clan of that time, but Chu Xinghe had Lu Chengqing estimate that at least tens of thousands of people would be needed to create the same grand atmosphere as back then, in order to recreate the other actors and musicians.
As the person in charge of Haotian Tower, Lu Chengqing certainly knew how terrifying it was to invite tens of thousands of performers, and according to Senior Brother Xinghe's requirements, the actors he needed had to be top-notch.
Ideally, they should all be famous actors from the Blazing Sun Continent.
Lu Chengqing knew that the famous performers on the Blazing Sun Continent were all quite expensive.
For example, those guys at Haotian Tower, their prices are ridiculously high if someone invites them to perform.
If all the performers were of this caliber, the cost of such a performance would be astronomical.
Hearing Lu Chengqing's words, Chu Xinghe was overjoyed.
Lu Chengqing, do you think your Senior Brother Xinghe doesn't know how much this will cost? I calculated it from the very beginning when I planned to do this.
But you don't need to worry at all; my Vast Heaven Sect can afford these expenses.
"Lu Chengqing, you don't need to worry about the expenses. You just need to invite all the necessary actors to the Vast Heaven Sect as quickly as possible. The script for this Battle to Vanquish Evil will be based on the actual scenes recorded back then. Remember, we only want the top-notch ones. We don't want any of those minor musicians or actors. They can't handle that much... cough cough..."
Chu Xinghe quickly shut up; damn it, he almost let it slip...
Excuse me... what's more expensive than organizing a party or entertainment event?
Although I, Chu Xinghe, have never been involved in the entertainment industry, I once heard Lu Chengqing say that the most famous actors in the Blazing Sun Continent command incredibly high appearance fees.
A certain songstress, performing a dance at a wealthy family's birthday banquet, would command a hefty fee.
This was just a small-scale performance.
How many singers, dancers, and musicians would be needed for this Battle to Vanquish Evil?
Each of these costs money, okay? Tell me, how much does such an epic performance cost?
Even the usually shrewd Lu Chengqing can't figure this out.
From Lu Chengqing, Chu Xinghe learned that Haotian Tower used to put on these kinds of performances during major festivals, inviting countless actors to sing, dance, and perform their special skills.
However, Haotian Tower used to sell tickets, so it was profitable.
This time, we're doing this at the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, and not only are we not selling tickets, we're not even giving you the chance to tip!
How can we possibly lose this game?
What? Those big shots actually dare to offer their respects at the Millennial Grand Sacrifice?
Even if they had a stroke a hundred years ago, they wouldn't dare do something like that.
Therefore, inviting actors from all over the world to perform this Battle to Vanquish Evil at the Vast Heaven Sect is a complete loss!
We're not worried about the cost at all. Lu Chengqing, you just need to handle the invitations. No matter how high the actors' fees are, my Vast Heaven Sect will cover it all. Besides, there's absolutely no way this kind of event could have any sponsorships, right?
This is a game you can't win!
What's the point of holding a sacrificial ceremony?
I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely turn this Millennial Grand Sacrifice into a grand spectacle for you all. This is such an epic performance; you'll probably only see it once in your lifetime.
So Lu Chengqing, I'm not afraid to spend money. I just want the best and most expensive actors. You're in charge of getting them here and bringing this epic Battle to Vanquish Evil to its peak, in conjunction with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation.
I, Senior Brother Xinghe, will cover the entire bill!
