If anyone lifted their heads from the ninety-nine continents in the second plane, they would find that the space between the nine continents in the first plane was not very big, but in truth, if they were there, they would be able to tell that the space was boundless.
This place could accommodate ten million people at the same time, and there were plenty of empty spots.
At that moment, there were eleven huge lotus platforms in the space. The one at the center was the largest, and it was nearly several hundreds of thousands of feet big. Surrounding it were ten slightly smaller lotus platforms.
Further away were rings of Five Colored Stones of Light. There was a cultivator from Morning Dao Sect standing on each stone. The densely packed Five Colored Stones of Light illuminated the land in a dazzling five colors. There were more than ten million cultivators on them.
If anyone cast a glance over, this scene would be incredibly shocking.
As for the outermost area, there was a huge drum surrounding it. Excited drum beats spread through the sky and echoed in space.
This was a lotus platform. At that moment, there was an old man standing on the largest one at the center. He was dressed in a long golden robe. His face was old, but when his eyes opened and closed, brilliant light shone in them. All those who were stared at by his gaze would immediately feel as if their life force was boiling.
There was only one possibility for someone to give them this sort of feeling … This person was an Almighty in Life Realm!
And he was definitely not an ordinary Almighty in Life Realm. He should have been in this Realm for a long time. His level of cultivation was so great that it could shock people's hearts.
There were three people behind the old man. Su Ming had naturally seen them before. They were the Sect Masters who had been in charge of everything in Morning Dao Sect for the past one hundred years. However, based on their positions, it could be seen that their positions were not as high as the old man in Life Realm.
The old man's lotus platform was surrounded by incredibly exquisite and extravagant tables carved with auspicious beasts. There were thousands of them, but they were all empty at that moment. There were those in the crowd who understood what was going on, and once they saw it, they immediately understood that these tables were left for the people from the other three Great True Worlds to congratulate them when the Anointment Ceremony was held.
As the old man's words spread out, the nine Dynasts who were with Su Ming immediately scattered to the ten platforms around the area. Su Ming took a step forward and landed on one of them. At the instant he did so, the platform under his feet shone with a brilliant light.
The lotus platforms under Su Ming's feet were not the only ones like this. The other nine Dynasts' lotus platforms were the same. Because of it, as the dazzling light shone, it was as if ten beautiful lotuses had bloomed in space. In fact, waves of fragrance filled the air.
This scene caused Su Ming and the other nine people to instantly become the center of attention. They became the most prideful suns in Morning Dao Sect.
"Morning Dao Sect …" The voice of the old man in Life Realm on the huge lotus platform at the center echoed in the air slowly with his usual old and awe-inspiring voice.
"The disciples of the other races are the foundation, and the members of the branch families are the veins … but the direct descendants are the soul of Morning Dao Sect. That is why even though the ten of you are only quasi Dynasts, to show that you are different from the others, I will grant you the right to stand on Morning Dao Sect's lotus platforms. On behalf of Progenitor Dao Chen, I will also temporarily grant the ten of you the Lotus Constellation Robe!
"Whether this robe will continue to be in your possession will depend on whether you will be able to stand until the end of the ceremony! "I can tell you clearly that even if this robe has not been activated, the ten of you will be able to borrow the power of Morning Dao Sect's kismet just by wearing it. It will allow the ten of you to gain an epiphany and surpass the others by a hundred times!
"With this robe, training for one year will be equivalent to training for one hundred years!
"Once it is truly activated, its defense will be able to withstand a full powered strike from an Almighty in Mastery Realm. In fact, it even contains a will from Progenitor Dao Chen. It can only be used once, but even if it's just once, it can still kill an Almighty in Mastery Realm!
"Once you become true Dynasts, you will head to the isolation grounds of the Progenitor, and this robe will be personally activated by Progenitor Dao Chen!" As the old man's words echoed in the air, the breathing of the ten million people in the area quickened. At the same time, the lotus platforms on which Su Ming and the ten stood instantly shone with an even more dazzling and piercing light. As it did so, the lotus bloomed, and petals appeared out of nowhere to surround Su Ming and the ten others. At the same time, their Sacred Constellation Robes shone with a brilliant light, as if they were reflecting the petals.
In the span of a breath, the petals charged towards Su Ming and the others. In an instant, they fused into the Sacred Constellation Robes. In the blink of an eye, the robes worn by the ten people, including Su Ming, immediately changed. The stars in them moved and formed a flourishing lotus formed by an endless amount of stars!
Su Ming's eyes focused. He immediately sensed waves of strange aura spreading out from the robes. That aura was rapidly nourishing his body, causing his spirits to be shaken. It was as if if he was injured at that moment, he would recover at an even faster speed.
Su Ming could also clearly sense that the flow of time in the robes was different from that in the world outside. The difference in the flow of time caused the people who wore the robes to look as if they were shrouded in a layer of indistinct light. No one could see their true face clearly, and they felt as if they could fuse with space at any moment.
The intertwining between the illusory and the real naturally formed a kind of mystery. This mystery turned into a pressure that was a powerful gap in identity and status.
Su Ming was not the only one who felt this way. At that moment, the expressions of the other nine Dynasts also changed, and they lowered their heads to look at their flourishing lotuses.
At the same time, the gazes of the ten million cultivators in the area gathered on Su Ming and the ten others. In those gazes were greed, unwillingness to admit defeat, jealousy, and envy.
There were all sorts of expressions and thoughts, and the ten million cultivators felt as if they were looking at the faces of all lives.
"I believe that the ten of you must have noticed the effects of the robes. I can tell you that the World Flourishing Lotuses on your bodies are a supreme treasure personally created by Progenitor Dao Chen when he was in isolation. This supreme treasure also has an even more terrifying divine ability. Its name is the same as the robes, and it is known as World Flourishing Lotuses.
"This is the divine ability Progenitor Dao Chen came to understand when he was in isolation. Once this divine ability fuses with your robes, you can activate it on your own, causing the robes to remember your strongest state. Then, it will seem as if time has frozen at that moment. Later, when you are heavily injured and your life is in danger, you can activate this Art. The power to reverse time will allow you to instantly return to your strongest state during the period of time remembered by the robes," the old man in Life Realm said flatly. His tone was relaxed, and no one could tell that he was, in truth, incredibly tempted by the ten World Flourishing Lotuses.
If he was already in such a state, it was even more so for the three Sect Masters behind him and the ten million cultivators in the area. Due to the ten million people's presence, heavy breathing immediately reverberated in the air like thunder. Gazes filled with great desire spread out from the ten million people's eyes, as if fighting spirit had been ignited.
"Whoever is a Dynast can have it. Even if you are a disciple from another race and even if you cannot become the master of True Morning Dao World, you will always have this World Flourishing Lotuses!
"Now, the first step of the Anointment Ceremony — challenge! "Your divine senses have already fused with this place. Wherever you look, the person with the strongest fighting spirit will be automatically sent to the lotus platform of the Dynast you wish to fight. Then, you can choose the quasi Dynast you wish to challenge. All the disciples who come here and have the five-colored stone platform will have the right to challenge.
"But I will also give you one final reminder. The challengers cannot kill, but the ten Dynasts who are challenged have the right to kill!" The old man cast a glance at the ten million cultivators around him, then turned his head around to look at Su Ming and the other nine people.
"Every single time you successfully win against someone, the lotus platforms under your feet and the robes on your bodies will spread out with life force, allowing you to instantly recover from all your injuries. This life force will be provided by me. Even if you are continuously challenged until the end of the seven days, you will not run out of life force. You can fight without worry!" The old man in Life Realm said flatly. There was no arrogance on his face, but the confidence in his words immediately spread out in all directions when he swung his arm.
"The challenge begins!" His voice rumbled. At the instant it reverberated in space, a powerful fighting spirit immediately spread out from the ten million cultivators in the area. Once it fused with space, it continued on until Su Ming and the other nine people arrived.
In just an instant, a violent bang came from Su Ming's lotus platform. Clouds and fog manifested above Su Ming, as if they were violently crashing against each other. Most of the other people's lotus platforms were in the same situation, but the intensity of the collisions between the clouds and fog was far from being as intense as Su Ming's.
In an instant, an ancient runic symbol appeared on each of the ten lotus platforms. There were ten platforms and ten runic symbols, but their appearances were completely different.
These runic symbols were ancient words. They represented a number, and it represented the number of people who had come to challenge the ten people at that instant. The runic symbol on each person's lotus platform represented the approximate number of people who had come to challenge that person.
Once the runic symbols on the ten lotus platforms appeared, an uproar immediately came from the ten million people like thunder.
"Who is that?! The number of people who challenged him … has actually reached seven million?!"
"This person is unfamiliar. He must be Dao Kong. Looks like our fellow sect members are hesitant about this person, which is why most of them chose to challenge him!"
"Didn't they say that this person killed Dao Fei Feng and killed tens of thousands of cultivators from the Immortals' Union?"
"So what? This person's followers are powerful, that's why he could do this."
As the uproar echoed in the air, Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the runic symbol representing the number formed by the clouds and fog above him. His expression was slightly dark. Compared to him, the other Dynasts only had one million or one hundred thousand cultivators who had challenged them.
