At the same time, the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony of the Holy Lion Empire was also held at the highest peak in the Taiyue Sect. For more exciting novels, please visit
As the first ceremony of worshipping the heavens in the Song Xinghai Dynasty, it seemed somewhat simple, because this time Song Li, together with the court officials, brought a total of less than 300 people.
But everyone knows that the focus of this sacrifice is not on the content of the ceremony, but on the important signal sent by this worship ceremony.
There are two obvious signals, one is that since Song Li sacrificed to the sky on behalf of his father, it proves that the time for Song Li to take over the throne of the Holy Lion Empire is not far away.
In addition, since the Holy Lion Empire chose to sacrifice to the heavens in the Taiyue Sect, it was proved from time to time that now the Taiyue Sect and the Holy Lion Empire have formed an alliance.
Sure enough, when Song Li's sacrifice ceremony was completed, it was announced to the world that Taiyue Sect officially became the national emperor of the Holy Lion Empire, and almost at the same time, the imperial court of the imperial capital transmitted the news to various countries as soon as possible.
And all countries are also very cooperative, and they have congratulated Taiyue Sect, even if the confrontation between the east and the west is continuous, the local wars are continuous, and the two Oxa empires are also very cooperative.
"Yes, these countries are very conscious," Song Li said with a smug smile.
"Hmph, it's just the Five Kingdoms, there's nothing to say," said the giant pretending to be angry.
"It's normal, if the five United Kingdoms all congratulate the Taiyue Sect, it would be really strange, Sect Master Ning, in a few days, the Taiyue Sect will be able to prepare for the Holy Lion Empire Sect Conference. Song Li groaned.
"The other sects are okay, they will give me some face from the Taiyue Sect, but will the Miyun Sect and the Green Fields Sect be invited" Ning Leshan on the side was a little skeptical.
"It doesn't matter if they will be invited or not, but you, Taiyue Sect, want to exercise the power of the State Sect," Song Li chuckled.
It is much more justifiable to establish Taiyue Sect as the national sect and then use the name of the national sect to order other sects, in Song Li's view, this will at least have a lot less political color, and it can not completely affect the lives of ordinary people.
On the second day after the Holy Lion Empire announced that the Taiyue Sect was the national sect of the Holy Lion Empire, the other sects of the Holy Lion Empire who had already learned the news protested one after another, the reason was very simple, that is, the sect forces have never been mixed with any country, since this is the case, the Holy Lion Empire has no right to establish any national sect, and they will not recognize the Taiyue Sect as the national sect.
However, the Holy Lion Empire quickly gave an explanation, asking the major sects in the country in the air, the sect forces can not be mixed with the state This regulation has formed a formal official document, is it a mandatory provision, if there has been no official document before, and there is no forced regulation, then the Holy Lion Empire can establish a national sect, nothing else, this is because this is the Holy Lion Empire, every inch of land, every inch of mountains and rivers belongs to all the people of the Holy Lion Empire, and the people of the Holy Lion Empire certainly have the right to canonize the national sect.
If the other sects don't want to recognize the legitimate status of the Taiyue Sect, then the solution is very simple, your sect only needs to move away from the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, as long as you are not in the Holy Lion Empire, no one will care about you.
At first, all the people also felt that what the major sects said made sense, after all, the state canonized the national sect, which had never appeared in the Nebula Continent, but as the discussion progressed, the people of the Holy Lion Empire suddenly discovered that what the imperial court said was not wrong, since your major sects opened sects in my land, then you must abide by my rules, then the rules of my Holy Lion Empire are that all sects in all territories must obey the orders of the national sect。
And the Holy Lion Empire said very clearly, this matter will not be solved by force at all, if you don't want to obey, you can move freely from the land of my Holy Lion Empire, and my Holy Lion Empire can't force you.
After passing the last public trial of the sect, the sect of the Holy Lion Empire needs to pay the corresponding taxes to the court of the Holy Lion Empire, and at this time, the court of the Holy Lion Empire also took out this article to talk about things, since you pay taxes, it proves that you are the citizens of your country, and you should abide by the relevant policies issued by your country.
Under the leadership of the Miyun Sect and the Green Leaf Sect, many domestic sects of the Holy Lion Empire are ready to tear their faces with the court of the Holy Lion Empire again, who knows, this time the Holy Lion Empire first emphasized that it would not send troops to solve this matter by force, and it seemed extremely generous, allowing the major sects to move away, which could not help but make the major sects that faintly formed a resistance to the national sect order have a feeling of having no place to use it.
Can they migrate, of course they can't move casually, after all, many sects have developed for nearly 10,000 years, and the foundation is here, and many invisible things cannot be migrated, such as the disciples of the sect in the past dynasties who have cultivated in the sect, and the sect has formed a strong true qi, and for example, the huge network of sect disciples among the people, these things cannot be migrated.
All of a sudden, the various sects and factions of the Holy Lion Empire couldn't find any reason to refute the Holy Lion Empire, and they started a war with the Holy Lion Empire, claiming to be famous and upright, in the case that the Holy Lion Empire has made it clear that they will not solve this matter by force, if they take the initiative to use force, it will be to smash their own decent signboard, and how to accept disciples in the future.
What makes these sects very angry is that at this juncture, the Taiyue Sect always issues a call for the major sects in the country to remain forbearing, not to have any conflicts with the imperial court, and to do things that ruin the reputation of the righteous sects, as if they have really regarded themselves as national sects.
Moreover, in the past few days, the attitude shown by the Holy Lion Empire is as if it is urging these sects to relocate, not only does it not have any retention, but every time it makes an announcement, it will emphasize that you can migrate if you don't want to comply with the national sect's order.
This can't help but make the major sects even more rebellious, not to mention whether their own sects can migrate, anyway, they will definitely not leave, and they will take root in the Holy Lion Empire.
In fact, from the beginning, Song Li expected that it was impossible for these sects to relocate, those sects had been developing in their own sect for thousands of years, how could it be said that they would be accommodating, and it was precisely because of this that the Holy Lion Empire repeatedly emphasized that if you are not convinced, you can move to other countries, where there is no national sect, and no one cares about you.
Soon, some of these smaller sects defected, saying that they would abide by the decree of the national sect, regard the Taiyue sect as the upper sect, and be willing to participate in the sect conference.
In fact, for these relatively small sects, the impact of the National Sect Decree on them is not great, even if there is no national sect designated by the Holy Lion Empire, these sects with insufficient power still need to rely on some larger sects, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to survive.
Since there are already sects that have expressed their willingness to obey the national orders of the Holy Lion Empire, then in addition to the two major sects of the Green Fields Sect and the Miyun Sect and the Taiyue Sect, the minds of the other sects have also been lively, anyway, they also want to rely on the big sects, and they are the same for everyone, but they don't want to be entangled with the Holy Lion Empire anymore, they are not like the Green Fields Sect and the Miyun Sect have the strength to compete with the Holy Lion Empire.
That is, when some small sects in the Holy Lion Empire expressed their willingness to accept the National Sect Decree of the Holy Lion Empire and were willing to serve the Taiyue Sect as the upper sect, some of the more famous sects on the Nebula Continent led by the Luo Po Sect of the Nile Kingdom and the Haoyue Sect of the Five Sects United Kingdom openly claimed that the chief elder of the Taiyue Sect who died not long ago, Qingyuan Zhenren, was actually killed by Song Li, the reason is that Qingyuan Zhenren is against the National Sect's order, and does not want Taiyue Sect to become the national sect appointed by the Holy Lion Empire.
In recent days, the Holy Lion Empire's extension of the country's hands to the sect has made the sects of various countries a little angry, but this is the matter of the sect of the Holy Lion Empire, and they are not good at interfering, at this time, it is rumored that Song Li, the crown prince of the Holy Lion Empire, is the murderer of Qingyuan Zhenren, which can be said to be timely, and the major sects do not care whether Song Li's reason for killing Qingyuan Zhenren is sufficient or not, and whether the evidence is conclusive, they have joined Luo Pomen and Haoyue Sect to denounce Song Li.
Moreover, the fact that Song Li killed Qingyuan Zhenren became more and more ferocious, causing an uproar among the sect, and even many disciples of the Taiyue Sect who were present at that time felt that they were really blinded by Song Li's powerful tricks at that time, and Song Li was really the murderer who killed Elder Qingyuan.
Fortunately, Lu Yong and the other three doppelganger elders of the Taiyue Sect were also present at that time, they didn't believe in any tricks, after all, the situation happened in front of them at that time, although the murderer's body was fast enough, they couldn't see who it was, but they were sure that it was definitely not Song Li.
In Lu Yong's opinion, these other sects just wanted to prevent the Taiyue Sect from becoming the national sect of the Holy Lion Empire, and they had bad intentions, so they spared no effort to help Ning Leshan suppress the disciples below, so as not to let the Taiyue Sect mess up.
Later, some major sects of other countries claimed that Ning Leshan, the current sect leader of the Taiyue Sect, was also an accomplice of Song Li, and the purpose of Ning Leshan's collusion with Song Li was to make the Taiyue Sect the national sect of the Holy Lion Empire, so as to openly seize the interests of other sects of the Holy Lion Empire.
As a sect, the Sect Master of the Holy Lion Empire's actions not only endangered the interests of the sect of the Holy Lion Empire, but also affected the peace between the sects of the entire Nebula Continent.
Therefore, he called on the entire Nebula Continent sect to unite and jointly resist such a domineering behavior of the Taiyue Sect.
Soon, some sects from other countries formed an alliance, and some major sects were elected as representatives of the entire Nebula Continent sect to jointly go to the Taiyue Sect to seek justice for the death of Qingyuan Zhenren.
"Such a reason is too far-fetched, saying that the boss will be an unknown trick to blind the disciples of the Taiyue Sect, why don't you say that the boss will be a doppelganger" Huge pouted, and after reporting the reactions of all the sects on the Nebula Continent during this time, he said very disdainfully.
"Big brother, I didn't expect you and me to become accomplices" Ning Qianxue smiled indifferently and shook her head slightly.
"Song Li, Qianxue, you really got the consent of the major sect families in the war zone for this matter" Ning Leshan frowned, and couldn't help but be suspicious
