Yin Wu Que's eyes were clear as he stared at him. His lips curled into a smile.
He and Ji Tianxing looked at each other for a while before Yin Wuque turned around and went back to the crowd.
The disturbance caused by Lan Yiqing and the others was resolved by Ji Tianxing.
His confidence and dominance left a deep impression on the talents from different countries. Once again, Yin Wuque had become the focus of discussion.
Lu Li looked at Ji Tianxing and then at Lan Yiqing and the others at the edge of the plaza. A glint of disappointment and disdain rose in his eyes.
He had thought that Lan Yiqing and the others could embarrass Ji Tianxing and put him in a humiliating position.
By then, Lu Li would step in to solve the dispute and help Ji Tianxing out of the crisis. Lu Li was sure that he would be appreciated by Ji Tianxing.
Little did he expect that Ji Tianxing could solve the problem with only a few words. He even made Lan Yiqing spit out blood and almost went on a rampage.
Lu Li's plan had failed. He couldn't help but curse, "I am so disappointed in the Chu Yun Empire!"
Of course, Lu Li had to act as if nothing had happened. He led the others through the plaza and into the temple.
At the gate of the temple, the more than 40 maids and escorts stayed outside and knelt in the corridor with respect.
As servants, it was already a great honor for them to be able to come to the temple. They were not qualified to enter the hall.
Only Ji Tianxing, Jiang Ningxue and several talents from the Empire of Thousand Snow followed Lu Li into the hall.
In the splendid hall, Chief Guardian stood in front of the statue of the Immortal. The six messengers stood on both sides of the statue.
Just like the previous ones, this worship ceremony was hosted by Chief Guardian.
He held a book of laws in his hands and stood in front of the statue solemnly. He looked at Lu Li and the others with dignity.
Lu Li led Ji Tianxing and the others to the center of the hall and bowed to the Chief Guardian and the messengers.
"Greetings, Chief Guardian and messengers."
Ji Tianxing didn't react. He didn't bow or say anything.
He looked at the wall behind the Divine Master's statue, observing the murals and symbols.
Meanwhile, he could not help but recall some scenes related to Martial God Taihao deep in his mind.
Those were Kenshin's memories, but they were scattered and fragmented.
Fortunately, he didn't lose focus. His eyes were still clear and calm.
Seeing that he did not bow, the Great Guardian was a little displeased, and his eyes turned cold.
However, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and ignored Ji Tianxing.
In his mind, Ji Tianxing's disrespect towards him was nothing, but disrespect towards Divine Lord Taihao was a heinous crime.
He held the codex in his hands and announced in a solemn tone, "I declare that the worship ceremony will now begin!"
Then, with a solemn tone, he began to recite the profound and obscure Divine Scriptures. His right hand slowly waved as he performed a mysterious seal.
"Everything is born without a beginning, there is a beginning and there is an end. Nothing is wrong, nothing is thought …"
As the solemn voice of the Chief Guardian echoed in the hall, Lu Li dropped to his knees with respect and kowtowed to the statue.
His expression and posture were full of reverence and devotion.
After three kowtows, he stood up, took three steps forward, and kowtowed three more times.
Then, he walked toward the Divine Master's statue step by step, kneeling every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps. It was truly three kneels and nine kowtows!
Jiang Ningxue and the other geniuses of the Empire of Thousand Snow did the same. They knelt and kowtowed to the Divine Master's statue with utmost devotion.
Only Ji Tianxing remained standing in the middle of the hall. He neither knelt nor kowtowed.
His dignity and pride made it impossible for him to kowtow to the Divine Master's statue like Lu Li and the others.
He only bowed to the Divine Master's statue.
This was the greatest sincerity he could show.
The Chief Guardian was still reciting the Divine Scriptures when he saw Ji Tianxing standing out from the crowd.
Lu Li, Jiang Ningxue and the others were all on their knees, but he was the only one standing upright. He was too conspicuous!
The Chief Protector immediately stopped chanting when he saw this. He furrowed his brows as anger surged through his eyes.
He never expected that after what happened last time, Ji Tianxing would not learn his lesson. He even dared to offend the Divine Master's dignity!
He gave Ji Tianxing a chance to turn over a new leaf for Lu Li's sake.
He never expected that Ji Tianxing would still have such an attitude.
How could he not be angry?
"Ji Tianxing! I have shown you mercy and given you a chance to come to the temple to worship and repent. How dare you not kneel?! "
The Chief Guardian glared at Ji Tianxing and scolded him coldly.
The messengers, Lu Li and the others were all startled. They all turned to Ji Tianxing.
Everyone stared at him with shocked and puzzled expressions.
Nobody could understand why this guy refused to repent.
The statue enshrined in the temple was the supreme Martial God Taihao!
Was this guy stupid? Why wouldn't he kneel and worship the Divine Master's statue?
If someone's attitude was pious, they might be able to gain the Divine Master's favor and receive the Divine Master's enlightenment and rewards!
At this moment, a sudden cry of surprise broke the silence of the temple.
"Heavens! Everyone, look! The Divine Master's statue is showing an oracle! "
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Their eyes were dazed and they could not react in time.
A moment later, everyone came to their senses and turned to look at the Divine Master's statue.
The majestic and dignified Divine Master's statue lit up with a dazzling golden light. It was incomparably sacred.
On the pedestal at the foot of the statue was a white jade slab, two meters wide and ten meters long. It also lit up with a white light.
This jade slab was part of the pedestal and was used for decoration and embellishment.
At the same time, this jade slab was a piece of divine jade that could communicate with the Divine Master. It had a special function, which was to show the Divine Master's oracle!
When a peerless expert or genius worshiped the Divine Master's statue, if they could gain the Divine Master's favor, the jade slab would light up and show different oracles.
Some oracles were to enlighten believers. Some oracles were to give orders.
For nearly a thousand years, only a few people received oracles when they worshiped the Divine Master's statue.
Those few people were the Saint Emperors of several large empires and the Great Protector of the past.
Back then, the Great Protector was also a peerless genius of his generation. With his abyss body, his name shook the world.
When he worshiped the Divine Master's statue, he gained the Divine Master's favor and triggered an oracle.
Later, he was nurtured into a Warrior Saint expert and was highly regarded by the Divine Master. He was appointed as the Great Protector of the Clear Heaven Pagoda.
Now, the oracle had come again!
The Great Protector, the six messengers, Lu Li, Jiang Ningxue, and the others all showed excited expressions.
Lu Li, in particular, was so excited that his face was flushed. He hurriedly kowtowed nine times to the Divine Master's statue and laughed excitedly.
