There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, but this didn't affect the weather. On the contrary, it added a bit of vitality to the dull blue sky.
The sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the land. However, there were gusts of wind on the ground that didn't seem hot at all. Instead, it gave people a very comfortable feeling of coolness.
It was a good day and the main hall of the Jianyu Sect was very lively today. Two days ago, the people of the Jianyu Sect began to receive people from the various sects that came from the Sword Spirit Boundary. This also allowed the people of the Jianyu Sect to see Zhao Hai's connections. From the Black Sky Sect to the Seventy-two Islands of the Southern Sea, from the Iron Buddha Temple to the Myriad Buddha Temple, from the Solitary Tranquility Dao Sect to the Tianyi Dao Sect, these famous sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary City had all come to the Jianyu Sect to witness the founding ceremony of the Sea Exploration Alliance.
Today was the day of the founding ceremony. All the members of the Sea Exploration Alliance were gathered here. The people of the Sword Spirit Boundary who came to watch the ceremony were also present. The teleportation plaza of the Jianyuzong Sect had been expanded. In the middle of the plaza, there was a nine-meter-tall stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a long table. On the table, there was a piece of platinum paper. In front of the table, there was a large cauldron full of wine.
At around 11 o 'clock in the morning, a series of bell rings spread throughout the entire Jianyu Mountain. All the people who came to watch the ceremony sat up straight and looked at the huge plaza.
As they paid their respects, groups of cultivators wearing sky-blue warrior uniforms ran into the square from all sides. They were all lined up neatly and didn't panic when they ran in. Then, they stood still in the square. They were in groups of a thousand people and each group was in a square formation. After arriving on the plaza, they stood according to the predetermined area.
After the ten square formations, ten large disc-shaped artifacts flew down from the sky. These artifacts flew above the square and then slowly descended. Then ten groups of cultivators flew out from the disc-shaped artifacts. They were all wearing sky-blue robes, but they were robes. They slowly floated down from the sky and landed on the ground. Each group only had a hundred people.
After they were in position, the ten large artifacts stopped in the sky and didn't move. At this moment, a huge Eight Trigrams flew over from afar. There were nearly thirty cultivators standing on this Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams flew into the huge plaza and slowly descended. Finally, it landed on the ground. The people on the Eight Trigrams also walked down. The leader was Zhao Hai, who was wearing sky-blue robes. Behind him were Hai Shilan, Tie Shi, and the others. They were all sect leaders of the various sects of the Quenhai Alliance.
After everyone came down from the Eight Trigrams, they slowly walked up to the platform. When they reached the top, the bell on the platform stopped ringing. Then, Zhao Hai walked out and bowed to the sky. Then, he loudly said, "Alliance Leader, Sword Nine, I respectfully inform the heavens that the Quenhai Alliance was originally made up of twenty-eight sects. In order to resist a powerful enemy, we formed an alliance to protect ourselves. Today, the twenty-eight sects have decided to unite into one and name it Quenhai. From now on, the twenty-eight sects will be one. The disciples of the twenty-eight sects will respect and love each other. Respectfully, I respectfully inform the heavens that the twenty-eight sects of the Quenhai Alliance are under the protection of the heavens!"
Zhao Hai's voice was very loud. Everyone in the Jianyu Sect could hear it. When they heard Zhao Hai's voice, their expressions turned solemn. All of the disciples of the Quenhai Alliance understood that from today onwards, they would be one sect.
After reciting his message, Zhao Hai went to the table. On the table was a piece of paper with the words that Zhao Hai had just said. Zhao Hai went to the paper and used his spiritual force to write his name on it. Then it was the same for Hai Shilan and the others. Each of them went forward and wrote their name on the paper. Then they went to the cauldron and bit their fingers, dripping their blood into the cauldron.
After everyone had dripped their blood into the cauldron, a disciple immediately brought them wine cups. Then, Zhao Hai and the others each filled a cup with wine from the cauldron. Then, they walked to the table and raised their cups together before downing the wine in one gulp.
Then, Zhao Hai put down his wine cup and turned his head to announce loudly, "The ceremony is complete. From this day on, the Quenhai Sect is established!"
Hai Shilan and the other disciples got down on one knee and said loudly, "Greetings, Sect Master!" More than ten thousand people simultaneously saluted Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai accepted their salute and then loudly said, "No need for formalities!"
Following Zhao Hai's command, everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Sect Master." Then, they all stood up.
After everyone had stood up, Zhao Hai said, "From this day on, the Quenhai Alliance is officially established. The disciples of the Quenhai Alliance must respect and love one another. There must be no infighting or betraying the sect. Hai Shilan, Tie Shi, Dou Qianjun, Che Quan, Ma Rulong … will be the Elders of the Quenhai Alliance. They will assist the Sect Master in managing the affairs of the Quenhai Sect." The names that Zhao Hai named were the original Sect Masters of the various sects of the Quenhai Alliance. Now, they had all become Elders of the Quenhai Sect.
Lan Shihai and the others got down on their knees again and said, "Thank you, Sect Master."
Zhao Hai said, "Rise. Elders, please don't mind what you are in charge of later. Jianjiu would like to thank everyone for coming to the Quenhai Sect and supporting the Quenhai Alliance's sect-founding ceremony. Jianjiu thanks everyone." After he finished speaking, Zhao gave a salute to the people who came to watch the ceremony. The people quickly stood up and returned the salute. For this ceremony, Zhao was very well-prepared. He had set up platforms all around to watch the ceremony. All of the people who came to watch the ceremony were sitting on the platforms, so Zhao gave them a salute.
After Zhao Hai bowed to Jianjiu, he glanced at the crowd and said, "The sect-founding ceremony is over. Everyone, please follow me to the main hall." After saying that, Zhao Hai turned to Hai Shilan and the others and said, "Elder Hai, make arrangements for the sect's disciples and then meet the representatives of the various sects in the main hall."
Hai Shilan nodded and led the various Elders to make the arrangements. Actually, there was no need for them to make any arrangements. The disciples of the various sects had all gathered in the Sword Defense Sect. However, the Sword Defense Sect had already arranged accommodations for them, so they didn't care too much about them. Therefore, after making arrangements for the disciples, they returned to the main hall.
Originally, the main hall of the Sword Defense Sect had been renamed the Quenhai Palace. Now, the representatives of the various sects had all gathered in the Quenhai Palace. The main hall had already been set up with food and wine. However, everyone had only just taken their seats and hadn't started eating yet.
After Hai Shilan and the others entered the main hall, Zhao Hai invited them to take their seats. After everyone was seated, Zhao Hai stood up with a wine glass in his hand. He raised his glass to everyone and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that more than ten days ago, we were all gathered at the Sword Vault to celebrate our victory over the Myriad Sword Sect. Today, all of you are gathered here at the Quenhai Sect to celebrate the establishment of the Quenhai Sect. Saber9 thanks everyone for coming. I'll drink first as a toast!" After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass.
Everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and drank with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and poured himself another glass of wine. He then said, "This glass of wine is for Elder Hai and the others. Elder Hai and the others were originally Sect Masters. This time, they took the initiative to unite the sects and even gave the position of Sect Master to me. Saber9 is endlessly grateful. I, Saber9, will definitely do my best to develop the Quenhai Alliance and live up to the trust that everyone has placed in me." After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass.
Hai Stone and the others stood up and excitedly followed Zhao Hai. They really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would mention them on such an occasion. This really surprised them.
Zhao Hai put down his glass and looked at everyone before pouring himself another glass. He then raised his glass and said, "This third glass of wine is for all the cultivators of my Quenhai Sect. My Quenhai Alliance has finally been established after countless hardships. I hope that all the disciples of the Quenhai Alliance can work together to develop the Quenhai Sect so that it can have a place in the Sword Spirit Boundary."
Everyone raised their glasses and downed the wine together. At this moment, all the disciples outside the Quenhai Sect were drinking and celebrating. Zhao Hai's voice also reached their ears. They also raised their glasses and downed the wine in them.
After three glasses of wine, Zhao Hai turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, I won't waste any more words. Please help yourselves." Everyone smiled and began to eat and drink.
The representatives of the various sects were very satisfied with Zhao Hai's sect-founding ceremony. This was because Zhao Hai didn't hold too many ceremonies. Although the ceremony was very simple, it was still very grand. There wasn't too much nonsense either.
At this time, Zhao Hai held his wine glass and walked to the front of everyone. He first went to Grandmaster Hui Neng. Grandmaster Hui Neng came as a representative of the Myriad Buddha Temple. Since Grandmaster Hui Neng was the Abbot of the Myriad Buddha Temple, he naturally couldn't act rashly. Because of this, Grandmaster Hui Neng came as a representative.
Although Grandmaster Hui Neng was a Buddhist, he didn't forbid wine and meat. This was the rule of all sects. This was because they were all cultivators. When cultivators cultivate, they would consume a lot of energy. In the beginning, they would need a lot of meat to nourish their bodies. Although they could take pills, even a large sect like the Myriad Buddha Temple wouldn't allow all of their disciples to do so. Because of this, the Sword Spirit World didn't have a rule that forbade wine and meat.
Zhao Hai held his wine glass and went to Grandmaster Hui Neng. Then he raised his glass and said, "Grandmaster Hui Neng, I'm very grateful that you came today. In the future, the disciples of my Sea Exploring Sect will have to rely on the Myriad Buddha Temple to take care of us."
Grandmaster Hui Neng smiled and said, "Sect Master Jian, our sects have always been on good terms. When our disciples meet outside, we'll naturally take care of each other."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Grandmaster Hui Neng is too polite. My Sea Exploring Alliance has just been established. Moreover, we've only gathered the members of the Sea Exploring Alliance. There's no development at all. We're still the same people, we've just changed our name. Our strength hasn't increased either. We're ashamed to talk about taking care of each other."
Grandmaster Hui Neng smiled and said, "Sect Master Jian, there's no need to be polite. With a Sect Master like you, I believe that the Sea Exploring Sect will have great development in the future. This old monk wishes the Sea Exploring Sect to grow and become a mainstay of the Sword Spirit Boundary."
