Chapter 2 Succession Ceremony
Around the altar, all the important dignitaries of the imperial immortal world gathered here.
Everyone waited eagerly, waiting for the future Lord of the Immortals to arrive.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
"Where? Alas, see! β
"Over there!"
The carriage slowly drove towards the altar under the gaze of everyone.
The confidential people who were watching the ceremony also gathered together to whisper.
"What's so nice about this immortal lord's succession ceremony! He was elected both horizontally and vertically, and there was no suspense at all! β
"Don't say it, this kid is really lucky, his father is missing, their clan doesn't even have a decent competitor, he picked up a master of immortals for nothing! Alas! Why am I not as lucky as him? β
"Then I can only blame your father for not being the Five Elements and One Pulse!"
"It's not all luck! Being able to pass the test of the elders of the Five Elements must also be extraordinary! β
"The five elements and one vein have all declined! Look who's left! β
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense! Thou shalt not fear that the priests will hear hear and cut off thy tongue. β
"That's what it was! Two old men, a woman, and this stinky boy, but the Fire Elder is really good! Hey, hey, hey! β
"Sooner or later, you'll have to be burned to death by Elder Fire!"
"Phew! Don't curse me! I'm just addicted! β
"However, the five elements and one vein are really not good, Elder Mu is no longer involved in the decision-making of the Imperial Immortal Realm, and he has moved out of the Imperial Immortal City with his clan to hide and relax, and the other elders don't care about the affairs of the Imperial Immortal Realm, and the priest is taking care of all the affairs of the Imperial Immortal Realm, if you want me to see, the position of the Lord of the Imperial Immortals might as well be given to the Priest!"
"But the five elements and one line are the founders of the Imperial Immortal Realm, so how can this power not fall into the hands of the priest!"
"In my opinion, the five ancestors didn't think it through back then, why did the Lord of the Imperial Immortals have to be selected from the descendants of the five elders! Okay now, there's no choice! β
"That is, if it is not inferior to the five elements in terms of ability, maybe we still have a chance!"
"Eh, that's almost! Think about those useless. β
"If the ancestors hadn't set this rule, how could that kid inherit his father's position! According to the rules, it should also be the heir of the fire line to succeed to the throne! β
"There's no way, the one in the first line of fire is a girl, Elder Tu has no children, Elder Mu quits the five elements and one line and no longer participates in political affairs, Elder Jin's child is still young, and he is the only one who can succeed to the throne."
"Being the lord of the eighth generation, and then turning to the throne, this experience is unique in the history of the immortal world!"
"Who's to say it isn't!"
Looking at the noisy venue, Xie Yi's face sank.
"Silence!"
As soon as Xie Yi's words came out, the audience was instantly silent.
The ceremonial officer came to Xie Yi.
"Priestess, can we start the festival?"
"Well, let's get started!"
The ceremonial officer walked to the front of the stage and waved his hand.
"The festival beginsβmusicβ"
The solemn music resounded in all directions with the command of the ceremonial officer.
At this time, the carriage also drove under the altar.
Shui Linghan looked at the crowd waiting outside the window and couldn't help but pray in his heart.
"Dad, please bless the child with a smooth succession......"
Then Shui Linghan stepped out of the carriage with the support of his attendants.
"It is worthy of being a descendant of the Shui Xing lineage, and it is exactly the same as the former Immortal Lord!"
"What a talent!"
"It's really my luck to have such an heir!"
The crowd who was still pointing behind their backs just now began to flatter the candidate in front of them.
Shui Ling laughed coldly and ignored it.
At present, the five elements are in decline, and it is inevitable that these people are ready to move.
However, with the status of the founder of the Five Elements and One Vein Immortal Realm, the foundation is still solid, and it is definitely not something that these small sects that do not enter the stream can easily shake.
A maid came to Shui Linghan and saluted.
"Lord Acting Master, please come with me."
In the hypocritical praise of the guests, Shui Linghan followed the maid to the altar.
A maid held a tray with three incense sticks as thick as a finger, walked quickly in front of Shui Linghan, and bowed down to hold the tray; Another maid walked to the other side of Shui Linghan with a tray containing incendiary stones in her hand and lifted the tray up.
Shui Linghan held the incense in both hands, lit it with a burning stone, and then raised it to his forehead and bowed in the direction of the altar.
The ceremonial officer loudly guided Shui Linghan to complete the ceremony.
"One knocks to the sky, two knocks to the earth, and three knocks to the people."
"Reichedββββ Candidates are invited to the altar ββββββ"
The altar is divided into three steps, each step is a large platform, representing heaven, earth and people respectively, this is the belief of the royal fairy world, not heavy ghosts and gods, only respecting heaven, earth and people. Candidates are required to bow three times at each platform.
After reaching the top step and bowing down, Xie Yi walked over.
"I didn't expect the trial to be completed faster than I thought, didn't those four elders put water on you? Hahaha......"
β...... The father-in-law laughed. β
"But don't get too complacent, there's a final trial, are you ready?"
"Ling Han has been waiting for a long time."
"Hahaha! Very good! β
Xie Yi waved his hand around.
"You see, all of you here are confidential people from the Immortal Realm! Now, let them witness the momentous moment when you succeed to the Lord of the Immortals! β
Shui Linghan walked to the center of the altar.
In the center of the altar stood a huge statue of the goddess Nuwa, who knelt on the ground and stretched out her hands to the sky, as if she was about to fly to the sky in the next moment.
There are five grooves in the ground around the statue, and that is where the five jade pendants are placed.
Shui Linghan put the jade pendants into the groove one by one.
Clickββββββ
A barrier of colored light rose around the altar, and a spirit stone emitting a soft pearl light appeared between the hands of the idol, which was the guardian stone of the immortal realm, the Spirit Stone.
"Your Majesty, Nuwa, this is the candidate for the new Lord of the Immortals. If you identify with this person, please give him the ability to harness the power of the five elements. β
A red light flashed in the center of the spirit stone, and then a terrifying-looking monster appeared on the altar.
"Shhhhββββh
The monster snorted at Shui Linghan.
Seeing this, Xie Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, it looks like you still need to continue the test!"
Shui Linghan ignored Xie Yi's taunt.
Draw your sword from the scabbard.
"Let the horses come!"
"Shhhhββββh
The monster roared and rushed towards Shui Linghan.
Shui Linghan dodged the monster's impact with a roll, then detoured behind the monster and stabbed it with a sword.
Bell βββ
As if stabbing at the surface of metal, Shengsheng flicked Shui Linghan's sword away.
The sword also angered the monster, and its thick tail swept towards Shui Linghan.
Shui Linghan hurriedly jumped up, used his light skills to dodge the blow, and then recited the spell.
In an instant, Shui Linghan's saber became crystal clear, Shui Linghan recited the spell again, and where the tip of the sword pointed, a huge icicle pierced out of the ground, trapping the monster in the crack of the icicle.
Shui Linghan stabbed at the monster again.
Seeing Shui Linghan attacking, the monster hurriedly struggled violently, and actually broke the icicle alive.
"This monster has such hard skin and infinite strength, it's really tricky!"
"I don't know what weakness this monster has, if it continues like this, it will be self-defeating."
The audience was full of discussions.
Shui Linghan also knew that he couldn't continue to consume, and this monster continued to attack Shui Linghan as if he was tireless, which made Shui Linghan feel a little tricky.
In order to restrict the monster's movement, Shui Linghan recited a spell and plunged his sword into the ground.
The ground exploded with an ice crystal.
The ice crystals moved forward in a straight line, freezing the limbs of the rushing monsters.
Since your skin is hard, try to see if your eyes are as hard as your skin!
Immediately, Shui Linghan threw his sword into the air, and then recited the spell.
Suddenly, a formation rose in mid-air.
Shui Linghan pointed his hand, and countless sword blades shot out from the formation, stabbing straight into the monster's eyes.
The monster writhed, trying to break free from its confines and dodge the attack, but in vain.
As the thousands of blades continued to attack the monster's eyes, the monster gradually lost its vitality and finally fell to the ground.
Won.
The monster let out a dull wail, then dissipated into a puff of green smoke.
The spectators around the altar erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Awesome! The beast was defeated! β
"He is worthy of being the son of the former immortal master, and his strength is really extraordinary!"
"There is such a handsome and powerful Immortal Lord! What a blessing for me in the Immortal Realm! β
Shui Linghan glanced at the flattering crowd around the altar expressionlessly, walked straight to the spirit stone and knelt down respectfully.
"Candidate Shui Linghan has completed the trial, please ask His Majesty Nuwa to judge."
As soon as the words came out, the surrounding noble leaders held their breath and waited nervously for the final result. The spirit stone just glowed quietly, and there was no movement.
"Candidate Shui Linghan has completed the trial, please ask His Majesty Nuwa to judge."
The spirit stone was still glowing quietly, and there was no response.
Shui Linghan knew that the previous uneasiness had come true, but he had to pretend to be calm, and the people around him also changed from contemplation to whispering.
"What's going on? Is this not passing? β
"Who knows! Wasn't that the case before? β
"Alas! Five elements and one vein! It's really not going to work......"
"Then do we still have to elect a new Immortal Master?"
Facing the tidal wave of discussion around him, Shui Ling Han felt irritated.
"Candidates! Shui Linghan! Trials have been completed! Please judge Your Majesty Nuwa! β
Shui Linghan suddenly raised his voice, causing the nobles to hold their breath and wait for Lingshi's response.
As if in response to Shui Linghan's call, there seemed to be a force in the spirit stone that was extremely restless, constantly hitting the spirit stone.
Xie Yi's brows furrowed.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, a scream erupted from the crowd.
"Ahh Look! β
I saw that the spirit stone was shaking even more violently in mid-air, as if the force was about to break through the spirit stone......
"How so!"
Shui Linghan was shocked.
"Before! This has never happened before! β
Everyone didn't know why, so they had to observe the changes in the spirit stone blankly.
Suddenly, the spirit stone burst out with a dazzling light, and a force shot out suddenly, Shui Linghan didn't take precautions, and his eyebrows were hit by the escaping power in the spirit stone.
"Ahh
The crowd erupted in screams.
Shui Linghan only snorted and then fell heavily in front of everyone.
"Lord Surrogate!"
The ceremonial officer hurriedly rushed forward to check on Shui Linghan's situation.
At this time, although Shui Linghan did not have any external injuries, he had no reaction to external additives, but his breath was quite stable, as if he was asleep.
The ceremonial officer was a little relieved.
"What's wrong with him?"
Xie Yi stepped forward and asked.
"Back to the priest! The substitute master just fainted, and there is no major problem at the moment! β
Xie Yi nodded.
"Help the Acting Lord to go to the hospital for treatment first!"
"Yes! Priest! β
