Chapter 47: The Hundred Beasts Pay Homage to Cang (Part 2)

  All Beasts Pay Homage (Part 2)

  The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed. Shen Long took advantage of Tianlong and Ao Tianyi's conversation to sneak away quietly. He didn't want to be beaten by Ao Tianyi into a pig head, although Shen Long always thought it was wrong to hit an old man.

  Afterwards, Shen Long pulled Ao Kun into his own palace and worked in his dragon palace. It had been a long time since he met Ao Kun, and the two of them stuck together all day like glue, and they made merry every night. One was to dispel his thoughts about Ao Kun, and the other was to dispel Ao Kun's doubts in his heart.

  After what happened last time, Ao Kun also felt a bit sorry for telling Shen Long's father about the previous matter, so he was very obedient to Shen Long and catered to his every need.

  In this way, a pair of dog-like husband and wife slipped into the palace and never came out again. Even when there were things to be done, they would let their subordinates go and inform them.

  "Kun'er, let's go. Today is the day to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth." Shen Long patted Ao Kun's butt and pulled him down from his neck.

  "Hmph!! Who told you to spare me last night." Ao Kun lazily lay on Shen Long's chest, humming and saying.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  "Third Brother, what's going on with you? You haven't been seen for days, why are you only coming now?" Huang Long blocked Shen Long and asked indignantly as soon as Shen Long and Ao Kun entered the conference hall.

  Shen Long looked at Ao Tian with a smile on his face, ignoring Huang Long, while Di Long saw the spring intention in Ao Kun's eyebrows and smiled, saying to Huang Long:

  "Alright, Little Huang, it's almost time to prepare for the ceremony to inform Heaven and Earth. First, let Old Three get ready."

  "I've told you before, don't call me Xiao Huang!!!"

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Outside the Dragon Realm of the Dragon Clan, in front of the ancestral dragon palace, the Heavenly Dragon, Earthly Dragon, Mystical Dragon and Yellow Dragon stood at the forefront. The one hundred and eight elders of the Scale Armor Tribe stood in sequence behind them, followed by the chieftains of each tribe of the Scale Armor Tribe, densely packed together.

  Although there were many people, they all had an order; Shen Long saw that everyone was present and turned to ask Tian Long:

  "Big brother, we can start now."

  "Alright! Let's get started."

  The entire process of worshiping the heavens was thought up by Shen Long, and in order to maintain the mystery of the ritual, he only told it to Tian Long, Di Long, and Huang Long. Of course, Ao Tianyi also knew about it. At that time, after Ao Tianyi finished reading it, although he was very satisfied in his heart, he still left behind a sentence:

  "Flourishing but lacking substance." Obviously he was fed up with his daughter spending all day with Shen Long, and he didn't have the chance to discipline Shen Long.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. The worship ceremony for heaven and earth is about to begin."

  Shen Long walked out, turned around and said something to everyone who was preparing to offer sacrifices. Then he looked up at the sky and let out a loud roar.

  "Sacrifice to heaven and earth, set up an altar——"

  Only to see Shen Long take out a small altar from his right hand, the altar has nine layers, symbolizing the Nine Heavens. Shen Long placed the altar on the ground, and it quickly enlarged, its base sinking into the seabed, its top piercing through the sea surface, and directly inserting into the clouds.

  To create this altar, Shen Long made a special trip to the Dragon Clan's treasury, scraping off a layer of dragon clan materials, and then refining them with his own Chaos Cauldron. During the process, he extracted the symbolic objects of each scale tribe, condensing them into the shape of each tribe and inlaying them onto the altar. This treasure was refined to perfection, becoming the world's number one heavenly altar treasure, bestowed by heaven with great merit, elevated to a post-heavenly merit treasure.

  Those standing at the foot of the altar were all powerful members of the Scale Armor Tribe, and as they gazed upon the altar and the images of their own kind that adorned it, they became increasingly agitated.

  "The bell rang and drummed, ascending to the altar." When the altar rose high enough, the first layer of the altar had already left the water surface, Shen Long let out a loud roar.

  The altar is divided into nine layers, according to the high and low status of the Scales Tribe. On each layer, there are carvings, from top to bottom: the first layer has only one dragon, the second layer has the elders of the Scales Tribe, and from the third layer to the ninth layer, the number of carvings gradually increases.

  As Shen Long let out a loud roar, a majestic bell sound rose, the surrounding drums sounded like thunder, and the statues on the altar emitted rays of light that shone on everyone's body. This light was the guiding light, and everyone flew up with the light, standing on top of their own ethnic statue.

  Shen Long and the four of them also reached the top floor. The top floor had no decorations, only a table made of natural sinking fragrant wood. On the table was placed one of Shen Long's nine tripods, a three-legged two-eared large cauldron. Next to the tripod were placed two three-foot-three-inch long incense sticks and a scroll with golden light flashing on it.

  "Light incense and recite the sacrificial text." Shen Long shouted again.

  Then, he took the two long incense sticks made from the remaining fragments of a divine tree collected by the dragon tribe. Legend has it that this tree was once a primordial demon god that could reach the heavens and stand on earth, being the first among all trees. However, because it defied heaven's will and attempted to steal the heavenly way, it was punished and transformed into countless trees. Shen Long used these materials to craft incense sticks with the grand dao symbol "Heaven Earth" inscribed on them, which could connect heaven and earth when lit.

  Tian Long took over the incense stick, stepped forward steadily, inserted it into the large cauldron, then picked up the golden scroll from the incense table and began to read:

  "The Heavenly Way is above, my dragon clan has been blessed by heaven and earth since the beginning of time, rising from the vast expanse, countless yuan gatherings, regulating the water veins of the vast expanse, with great fortune and virtue. Now that our dragon clan unites the water officials of the vast expanse, we are pushed to be the leader by the Scale Armor Clan. Today, we offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, hoping for the Heavenly Way's blessing."

  This golden scroll was ordered by Shen Long to have each of the tribal leaders take out half a drop of their pure blood, then merge them together and use the Great Dao symbol to engrave it on. It can be said that this is the most precious one.

  As soon as Long finished reading the sacrificial text, the scroll of the sacrificial text suddenly caught fire. A flash of golden light appeared in Shen Long's eyes, this was the response of the Heavenly Way, it seemed that things had been settled.

  "Worship heaven and earth, bow!"

  Shen Long and the three Dragon Ancestors bowed to the incense table, while the elderly people below, including the clan leaders, also bowed. Suddenly, the two long incense sticks made of Pre-Heavenly Wood decreased by one-third in length. The burning sacrificial paper scroll flew up, hovering above the two incense sticks, collecting the smoke rising from them and surrounding itself with it.

  Shen Long's bow made him clearly feel that the aura on his body was rapidly decreasing and flowing towards Changxiang, and he saw that the surrounding sacrificial text was all aura. Although he knew it was condensing the aura of the Lin family, he was still surprised by the amount of lost aura.

  Although the air was leaking out quickly, Shen Long still shouted:

  "Goodbye!!"

  Many high-ranking members of the Scaly Tribe also felt the flow of the aura, and they all remained silent, continuing to worship Heaven. The incense sticks in the censer went down another inch, and the smoke rising from the incense continued to surround the memorial scripture.

  "Three bows!!!" Shen Long shouted with all his might.

  The crowd bowed again, the long incense in the censer burned out, and the sacrificial text surrounded by the incense suddenly became bright and clear, being burned to ashes. The ashes entwined with the incense, and suddenly the wind and clouds changed. These incenses gradually condensed into a shape, a nine-clawed giant dragon of primordial color appeared, its body surrounded by swirling smoke. The divine dragon's head was visible but not its tail, it raised its head to the sky and let out a long sigh:

  "Yin~~~~~~~~~~~~yin~~~~~~~~~"

  The dragon's roar continued for a long time, expressing a sense of joy and satisfaction. When the dragon's roar stopped, the dark-colored giant dragon transformed into starlight and entered the bodies of the four ancestral dragons, the elders, and the clan leaders.

  Receiving these starlights, the altar was filled with joy, but it was the Heavenly Way that agreed to let the Dragon Clan be the leader of the Scales Tribe. From then on, all the Scales Tribe could cultivate and evolve step by step into the form of the Dragon Clan, transforming into true dragons.

  From then on, the number of dragon tribes can be increased, but all kinds of dragon tribe shapes also emerged from the dragon tribe, such as the winged Yinglong and the candle dragon with strange eyes.

  (Volume 2 is finished, Volume 3 will be about the war of three tribes, and it may not be too long either. Please support me, thank you!!)
