Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, the Great Qian Emperor smiled helplessly:
"I know what you all want to know, but I don't even know the Martial God, let alone that Ancestor from the early days of the nation."
"There are very few records about him, and even if there are, they are only a few sentences long."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions. After all, they were inquiring about matters concerning the Great Qian Empire, and it was best to stop there.
Asking too many questions is not a good idea.
However, many people had solemn expressions. When the Heavenly Inquiry Sacrifice was held, the Martial God's face was respectful, so the Ancestor could not be just an ordinary person.
Could he also be Immortal?
Soon.
The Heavenly Inquiry Sacrifice was held, and Ye Haoran did not engage in any flamboyant behavior; he simply bowed towards the Nine Dragon Throne.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people dressed in strange costumes emerged from below, hopping and singing ancient and obscure ballads.
The entire Heaven-Questioning Square was solemn.
Everyone seemed to be infected by this atmosphere. Many people who didn't know Su Chen before instinctively defined him as an extremely terrifying powerhouse.
The ritual, which lasted for an unknown period of time, finally ended.
Ye Haoran also stood up from the ground, turning his head to look at the sky with an expectant expression.
It must be Million Years, right?
In fact, he had forgotten how much time had passed long ago, and didn't even know if Million Years had Past.
But according to his estimate, it should be around Million Years now.
He gazed expectantly at the sky, but there was still no reaction.
"Why!"
Ye Haoran sighed and lowered his head. Just as he was about to announce the end of the ceremony, he suddenly shuddered and quickly looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
He sensed a strange yet familiar aura there, which definitely did not belong to the Imperial Family.
This aura...
Ye Haoran couldn't help but tremble all over.
Master?
Million Years Past, and he can hardly remember Su Chen's presence anymore; he only vaguely feels that he is somewhat familiar with him.
Is that Master?
However, the next moment, that familiar figure appeared above the Imperial Palace, Ye Haoran finally realized what was happening.
It really is Master!
Million Years have passed!
Ye Haoran was incredibly excited and happy. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, saying:
"Disciple respectfully welcomes Master's return!"
The sound, like a thunderclap, spread outwards from the center of Heaven-Questioning Square.
Everyone looked bewildered.
What's going on?
What happened?
Master?
Some quick-witted individuals immediately changed their expressions. Could it be the very person who officiated at the Heavenly Inquiry Assembly, the one who possessed the Nine Dragon Throne, and the Master of the God of Martial God?
Hiss!
He gasped in surprise and looked in the direction where Ye Haoran was kneeling, but saw no one.
At that moment, a calm and gentle voice rang out.
You've worked hard all these years.
Everyone immediately turned to look in the direction of the Martial God, only to see that Su Chen had somehow appeared in front of Ye Haoran.
Ye Haoran was incredibly excited. He had waited for Million Years, and finally, his Master had arrived.
The only thing he looked forward to every day was his Master's arrival, and now his wish had finally come true.
"This Disciple has not suffered any hardship!"
It really is!
At the very front of the viewing area, the Great Qian Emperor suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock.
The Ancestor the Great Qian Empire!
Not only him, but everyone in the Imperial Family and other forces looked terrified.
The Master of the God of Martial God was not a made-up character, but a real person.
The person who commands such respect from the Martial God must be no weaker than the Martial God.
After a brief moment of shock, the Great Qian Emperor quickly recovered. He hurriedly stepped down from his Spectator Stand, went to the foot of the sacrificial altar, and knelt down to pay his respects to Su Chen.
"Descendant Li Haoming pays respects to the Ancestor!"
The other Nascent Soul Stage of the Imperial Family also hurriedly followed, kneeling and bowing to Su Chen.
As for the people from other forces, they didn't dare to stand either. They all stepped down from the Spectator Stand and knelt on one knee before Su Chen.
Although Su Chen was not their Ancestor, his status and strength were difficult to fathom, so showing respect at this time would certainly not hurt.
Seeing this, many others also knelt down, including the ordinary characters at the very back.
Su Chen turned his head and glanced at him, then said with a faint smile, "It seems you have protected the Great Qian Empire very well over the years. In that case, the assessment can be considered passed. From now on, you will be the Fourth Disciple of my Lingxiao Sect."
As Su Chen finished speaking, Ye Haoran's face was filled with excitement.
"Thank you, Master!"
Su Chen nodded, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "This kneeling is a form of courtesy, so I'll give you a small gift."
As he spoke.
He raised his hand and waved it, and Spirit Rain immediately began to fall throughout the entire Great Qian Empire. The rain was extremely fierce, with raindrops the size of eggs falling continuously.
The entire Great Qian Empire seemed to have been purified.
Especially within the Heaven-Questioning Square, a rich Dao charm Mi Man the air, causing many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to break through on the spot, while those with Cultivation Level broke through several realms in succession.
"I actually broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Heavens! I actually broke through from the Qi Condensation Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! What kind of Heavenly Secret is this? I'm only thirteen years old. A thirteen-year-old at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage is probably unprecedented even in the Great Qian Empire."
A young boy with a youthful face spoke with great surprise, feeling a sense of unreality as he sensed Cultivation Level sudden surge in his cultivation level.
It's so dreamy!
When everyone came to their senses and looked up at the Sacrificial Altar again, Su Chen and Ye Haoran had disappeared without a trace.
The Great Qian Empire stood up and turned to look at the sky. The extremely terrifying Spirit Rain was still falling incessantly, and the surrounding sunken areas had accumulated countless amounts of Spirit Liquid.
Even around them, small rivers have already converged.
Their expressions were filled with disbelief.
Is this kind of miracle possible for humans?
Such a fierce Spirit Rain was utterly insignificant to them.
Spirit Rain had fallen in the Xuanhuang Realm before, but it was a rare occurrence that only happened once every few years, and it was just a light drizzle that lasted for about half an incense stick's time.
However, this time the Spirit Rain grew heavier and heavier, seemingly with no intention of ending.
The Great Qian Emperor floated into the sky and looked into the distance. He saw that Spirit Rain was pouring down in almost every place within his Divine Sense range, including the Imperial City.
This...
Suddenly, he began to understand why the Martial God had insisted on establishing the Heaven-Questioning Priest for so many years.
That's absolutely terrifying!
Is this the Ancestor of my Great Qian Empire?
