"Divine Blood Ceremony? A gathering of geniuses? "
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What kind of ceremony is that?"
"You don't know about this?" Ning Siyuan was surprised. After thinking for a while, she understood the reason.
"I understand. You are definitely not a citizen of Bloodfire Divine Country. You came here from another country!"
Ji Tianxing did not deny it. "You can say that."
"Alright." Ning Siyuan nodded and explained, "Regarding the origin of the Divine Blood Ceremony, we have to start from 10,000 years ago, when Bloodfire Divine Country was established …"
Next, she used close to 15 minutes to introduce the Divine Blood Ceremony to Ji Tianxing.
The origins, functions, and significance of the ceremony, as well as the relevant rules and regulations, were all introduced in detail.
Ji Tianxing then understood that the Divine Blood Ceremony was Bloodfire Divine Country's grandest ceremony.
10,000 years ago, before Bloodfire Divine Country was established, it experienced a bloody war.
At that time, this land was enslaved by the Sea Clan. Billions of living creatures were slaves of the Sea Clan, living a miserable life.
The first generation Bloodfire Divine Lord led 40 warriors to fight against the Sea Clan.
In the process of exile, Bloodfire Divine Lord kept recruiting warriors of the God Clan to fight against the rule of the Sea Clan.
After hundreds of years of development, Bloodfire Divine Lord finally had an army of three million and controlled close to half of the land.
He won the hearts of the people and gathered billions of people. Finally, he could call himself a Divine Country.
But the Sea Clan gathered an army of five million, led by ten powerful Upper Divine Lords. They intended to destroy Bloodfire Divine Country and reclaim their lost land.
Both sides started a hellish slaughter and war.
Facing the large number of Sea Clan troops and experts, Bloodfire Divine Lord was forced to retreat.
Not only did he lose cities and land, but his army and people were also slaughtered.
In the end, both sides fought a decisive battle at Boundless Pass.
More than three million God Clan troops and Sea Clan troops, hundreds of Divine Lords, fought in a 100,000 mile area.
Bloodfire Divine Lord was about to be defeated.
At the critical moment of life and death, Bloodfire Divine Lord and the nine Divine Generals worked together and built the Furious Blood Divine Formation.
They sacrificed their lives, burned their flesh and soul, and pushed the power of the Furious Blood Divine Formation to the limit.
The world-destroying Divine Formation heavily injured the Sea Race's army and killed several High Divine Lords.
However, the strongest expert of Bloodflame Divine Kingdom had been sacrificed.
Although the Oceanids were heavily injured, they charged even more ferociously.
Left with no choice, the surviving one million plus God Race soldiers also stepped into the Crimson Blood Divine Formation.
They all burned their flesh and soul, sacrificing their lives.
This way, the divine race army that took part in the battle at Boundless Pass that day was virtually completely wiped out.
From the leaders and Divine Generals to the millions of soldiers, all of them had been sacrificed.
But their sacrifice caused the Furious Blood Divine Array to undergo a qualitative change, and it actually broke through to the Godking level!
Thus, the Crimson Blood Divine Formation slaughtered everything within a hundred thousand miles. That area was completely transformed into a world of blood.
Hundreds of Sea Clan Divine Lords and more than two million soldiers were all killed by the Crimson Blood Divine Array.
The boundless World of Bloody Sea continued for an entire half a month. It surged violently and destroyed the heavens and the earth.
All the Oceanids were trapped in the Divine Formation. Even the High Divine Lords could not escape.
Half a month later, the World of Bloody Sea disappeared.
More than two million Sea Tribe soldiers had also disappeared without a trace. Not even a complete corpse was left behind.
Bloodflame Divine Kingdom finally won!
Although it was a pyrrhic victory, the Oceanids suffered a calamity and retreated to the Setting Sun Ocean, never daring to set foot on land again.
Later, Bloodflame Divine Lord's eldest son personally led the army to the battlefield to pay respects to his father and the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves.
The mountains and rivers within a hundred thousand miles were destroyed. Boundless Pass was also gone.
That area had become a blood-colored wasteland.
Whether it was the Oceanids or the God Race, not a single corpse was left.
However, in the center of the battlefield, there was a towering tree that was thousands of feet tall, completely blood-red and shining with light.
It was said that Bloodflame Divine Lord and all the soldiers were united and sacrificed themselves for the Divine Kingdom, moving the heavens.
As a result, the heavens sent down blessings and used the blood and sweat of all the soldiers to form that Sacred Tree.
Bloodflame Divine Kingdom transported that towering Sacred Tree back to the palace and worshipped it as a divine object of the kingdom.
The towering Sacred Tree also had a name. It was called the Bloodflame Sacred Tree.
Later, Bloodflame Divine Lord's eldest son inherited the throne and became the second king.
50 years later, he discovered that the Bloodflame Sacred Tree's outer appearance had not changed, but its power was extremely abundant.
It was like a Sacred Tree that was at the level of a Divine King.
However, it was limited by the rules of the heavens and could not reach the level of a Divine King.
Therefore, the excess divine power would dissipate and nourish the people who worshipped the Sacred Tree.
Since then, the second emperor had set down a rule.
Every year on the ninth day of the tenth month, the royal family would hold the Divine Blood Ceremony.
It was to celebrate the establishment of Bloodflame Divine Kingdom and also to commemorate the sacrifice and dedication of Bloodflame Divine Lord and more than one million soldiers in that battle.
This was to remind the people of the Divine Kingdom that peace did not come easily.
They should never forget the blood that their ancestors had shed, the sacrifices and the price that they had paid!
At the same time, the Divine Blood Ceremony would hold several banquets and martial arts competitions.
As long as they were people of the Divine Kingdom and had outstanding talent, they could participate in the competitions.
The nine geniuses who won in the end were qualified to enter the forbidden area of the royal palace and worship the Bloodflame Sacred Tree.
When the nine geniuses worshipped, the Bloodflame Sacred Tree would release a mysterious and powerful power.
The geniuses who received the blessings and baptism of the Sacred Tree would greatly increase their strength and aptitude. Their future was limitless.
Apart from that, the royal family of Bloodflame Divine Kingdom and the meritorious ministers who had made outstanding contributions were also qualified to worship the Sacred Tree and receive the blessings and baptism.
However, for ordinary people and warriors, participating in the martial arts competition and getting into the top nine was the only way to worship the Sacred Tree.
Ji Tianxing's interest was piqued when he learned about this.
He looked at Ning Siyuan with a smile and asked, "Miss Ning, do you think I am qualified to participate in the Divine Blood Ceremony?"
Ning Siyuan immediately narrowed her eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.
"You want to worship the Bloodflame Sacred Tree?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and nodded. "Of course! The sacrifice of the Bloodflame Divine Monarch and the million soldiers made me very moved and impressed.
I believe that 99% of the people are like me and want to worship the Sacred Tree. "
Ning Siyuan nodded slightly and said, "If you want to participate, of course you can!
The Divine Kingdom has laws. Other than slaves and criminals, all ordinary people of the Divine Kingdom can observe the ceremony.
However, those who want to participate in the martial arts competition must be young geniuses.
Simply put, those who are under a thousand years old and have reached the Divine Monarch realm can participate. "
Ji Tianxing pondered. Ning Siyuan was not even a hundred years old and was already a half-step Divine Monarch.
Looking at the entire Bloodflame Divine Kingdom, there were probably no more than ten people with such talent.
After all, her age was no different from a child to the Divine Race.
Ordinary Divine Race members could live for more than ten thousand years.
