When all the people across Embracing Tiger Mountain were gazing at the item in his elder's pavilion on the top of the mountain behind the Ancestral Shrine Palace silently …
Zhang Tie was holding two extremely common black mulberry seeds.
The black mulberry seeds were brought to him by an elder of Demons-kill Valley. The elder only told Zhang Tie that Pandora was cultivating a secret method in a secret place of Demons-kill Valley and couldn't leave in a short period. After knowing that Zhang Tie had been cleared of his crime and returned to Youzhou Province, Pandora asked Zhang Tie to bring the two black mulberry seeds to Zhang Tie.
It was enough for Zhang Tie.
When Zhang Tie attended survival training in Wild Wolf Valley, he picked black mulberry seeds in the wild and gifted them to Pandora. Pandora had people bring back two black mulberry seeds. In Zhang Tie's opinion, the two black mulberry seeds only represented one word — — longing!
Watching the two black mulberry seeds, Zhang Tie felt like seeing Pandora's black eyes. In this ceremony, Zhang Tie felt sorrowful.
Beloved ones were rare in the world.
The more successful a person was, the higher he would stand; the more he would understand what was the most precious thing.
"Elder, the auspicious moment has arrived!" Deacon Yu's voice sounded behind Zhang Tie.
Everything in front of Zhang Tie was like that when he held his first rotating chakra ceremony in Yiyang Mountain. Even Deacon Yu whom he had not seen for a long time didn't change much.
Deacon Yu who served Zhang Tie in the elder's pavilion on Long View Peak of Yiyang Mountain was also serving Zhang Tie in the elder's pavilion on the top of Tiger Embracing Mountain. After Zhang Tie returned to Huaiyuan Clan, his deacons in the elder's pavilion in Tiger Embracing Mountain had been replenished in a split second. As Zhang Tie was familiar with Deacon Yu, Deacon Yu immediately took charge of Zhang Tie's elder's pavilion in Tiger Embracing Mountain.
Zhang Tie's elder's pavilion in Tiger Embracing Mountain was different than that of the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace. The other elders' elder's pavilions were all 3-storey; however, Zhang Tie's elder's pavilion was built as the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace. It was a bit higher and larger than that of the other elders' pavilions. After being appointed by Zhang Tie to take charge of such an elder's pavilion, Deacon Yu's cuff also had a golden line as her position in Huaiyuan Clan rose to a higher level.
These days, what those deacons and clan disciples admired most in Embracing Tiger Mountain was that Deacon Yu who had served Zhang Tie at the beginning could rise again with the return of Elder Mushen after being silent for a long time. A LV 7 official in front of the prime minister's mansion was a rare opportunity for the other clan disciples and deacons of Huaiyuan Palace to work in front of the only grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace.
"Elder …" Seeing Zhang Tie still gazing at the black mulberry seeds, Deacon Yu moved one step forward and called him in a low voice.
"Can I plant black mulberry seeds in Youzhou Province?" Zhang Tie turned around and asked Deacon Yu. It seemed that Zhang Tie didn't care about the grand ceremony at all. When the auspicious hour arrived, Zhang Tie asked a question which was irrelevant to the grand ceremony.
"Yes!" Deacon Yu threw a glance at Zhang Tie's hand as she nodded affirmatively.
"At the beginning of spring, choose a garden outside Jinwu Pavilion and plant black mulberry seeds!" After saying that, Zhang Tie stood up and gave the two black mulberry seeds to Deacon Yu, saying, "Use these two as seeds. After one year, when the black mulberry seeds grow up, you could plant more and more!"
"Yes, elder!" Deacon Yu took the two black seeds carefully.
Black mulberry seeds were not rare plants. They didn't have beautiful leaves and common flowers. Few major clans would plant such vines at home. Only some farmers in rural areas would plant some black mulberry seeds in their courtyards or in front or behind their houses. They didn't do that for ornamental purposes; instead, they could grind black mulberry seeds and soak them in water to wash their hair.
However, Zhang Tie liked black mulberry seeds. If he wanted to plant them, even if he ordered to cut down all the trees across Embracing Tiger Mountain and plant black mulberry seeds, nobody across Huaiyuan Palace would say no.
"Guang …" A melodious and sonorous bell ring drifted from the bell tower on the highest place of Embracing Tiger Mountain. Closely after this bell ring, the bell rings across Embracing Tiger City and Yanghe Prefecture reverberated at the same time.
After the bell ring, the entire Embracing Tiger Mountain became quiet. In a split second, no other sound could be heard across Embracing Tiger Mountain.
The bell ring told Zhang Tie that the auspicious hour had arrived and the grand ceremony had begun.
"Let's go!" Zhang Tie waved his hand as he walked out of the Elder's Pavilion.
The general process of the grand ceremony was similar to that of the first one. If there was a difference, it would be that this grand ceremony didn't have the link of "Rotating Chakra Characters". Additionally, this grand ceremony had a much higher standard than that of the first one.
Zhang Tie was still wearing a purple-gold martial fate crown. However, compared to the first time, this purple-gold martial fate crown was greatly different in terms of specification and style. The seven-inch crown of a black iron knight became a nine-inch crown of an earth knight. The single beam on the crown became three beams. On both sides of the martial fate crown, there were white tiger totems of the immortal beasts of Hua people. The white tiger totems represented the realm of an earth knight. If Zhang Tie promoted to a shadow knight, the style and specification of the purple-gold martial fate crown would be changed. The crown would become five beams while the totem on the crown would become a black tortoise.
Zhang Tie was also wearing a set of special ceremonial robe, which was called the seal of earth. The entire set of ceremonial robe was made of golden boa silk, which represented the golden chakra of an earth knight. The ceremonial robe was embroidered with various auspicious and special patterns. It took Huaiyuan Palace over 800 embroidery maids over 1 month to make this set of ceremonial robe according to the strict requirements of the auspicious robe.
After the ceremonial robe, Zhang Tie's cloak, which was longer than 4 m, was dragging on the red carpet behind him. As Zhang Tie walked steadily down the stone steps, the cloak undulated like waves.
Two rows of warriors of Huaiyuan Palace were clearing the way in front of Zhang Tie with ceremonial instruments. Additionally, 8 pairs of male and female attendants of Huaiyuan Palace were sprinkling things such as "perfume", "refined salt", "five grains" and "sandalwood" in front of Zhang Tie. The oldest of the 8 pairs of male and female attendants was only 11 or 12 years old. For this day, they had practiced for many times. It meant that they started to step onto the big stage of their lives. Zhang Tie's eldest uncle asked Zhang Yang for two places. Zhang Yang told Zhang Tie that they were the granddaughters and grandsons of his eldest uncle and aunt. All the others came from other cities of Huaiyuan Palace.
Zhang Tie was followed by two rows of deacons of Huaiyuan Palace.
This time, Deacon Yu tasted the great power on Zhang Tie's side for the first time after selecting 6 more male and female attendants from Huaiyuan Palace. Many people who had relationships and abilities in Huaiyuan Palace had tried their best to stuff their offsprings and clan juniors into the team of purifying the way for Zhang Tie. At this moment, their offsprings and clan juniors could show their faces on the big occasion; more importantly, they could build a relationship with Zhang Tie. In the future, if those offsprings could make a bit more promising and remind Zhang Tie that this little guy was the one who purified the way for Zhang Tie in his rotating chakra ceremony, they might be favored by Zhang Tie at this moment. By then, their positions at home, even the positions of their clans in Huaiyuan Palace would be different from then on.
Everybody knew that Zhang Tie would be the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace after this rotating chakra ceremony. Additionally, Zhang Tie was the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace and the head of Iron-Dragon Sect. His battle strength and secret methods ranked first in Youzhou Province. He had a bright future!
These days, all the members of Huaiyuan Palace were talking about it privately. Although it was an earth knight's rotating chakra ceremony, everybody firmly believed that Elder Mushen could hold another rotating chakra ceremony to promote to a shadow knight in his lifetime and become the first clan elder in the history of Huaiyuan Palace to promote to a shadow knight. Even Lord Huaiyuan couldn't do that.
Although Zhang Tie was still a bit melancholy, he had recovered his composure.
When the bell rang for the 9th time, Zhang Tie recovered his firm look. Closely after that, a powerful battle qi tornado rushed into the sky like a huge, fiery tornado above Tiger Embracing Mountain. Even though it was in the daytime, the clouds above Tiger Embracing Mountain had been dyed fiery red as if they were burning. As a result, the surroundings of Tiger Embracing Mountain changed its color at once.
The moment Zhang Tie's battle qi tornado rushed into the sky, it had aroused an uproar among the audience in the Ancestral Shrine Palace. Many knights changed their faces at a stroke. Even some elders of Huaiyuan Palace quivered their eyebrows as they revealed a faintly amazed look.
The reason was that the battle qi tornado was too powerful. It didn't look like that of a knight who had just promoted to an earth knight.
The moment the royal highness of Lord Guangnan's Mansion recovered his composure, he had sensed the battle qi tornado rushing into the sky from the top of the mountain peak. Therefore, he turned around at once as a shrewd eye light flashed across his eyes.
"Fire Dragon Sutra, it's Fire Dragon Sutra …" Someone on the guest seats couldn't stand exclaiming.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In order to verify these exclamations, a huge brilliant dragon rose up from the battle qi tornado and started to hover in the sky above Embracing Tiger Mountain.
Only after a short while, the fierce candle dragon and battle qi tornado in the sky had disappeared at once. Before the others recovered from the shocking scene just now, another battle qi tornado had rushed into the sky in a few minutes. This time, the battle qi tornado was brilliant and colorful with amazing power. Right in the colorful battle qi tornado, there were images of land and mountains. The entire sky of Embracing Tiger Mountain was like a mirage, which was unfolding a bizarre landscape painting …
"This … this is Five-elements Ground-look Sutra. How could it be …" A guest on one side exclaimed unbelievably, "Didn't Elder Mushen promote to an earth knight alone? Did two people of Huaiyuan Palace promote to an earth knight at the same time? How could one person cultivate two classics at the same time?"
With this exclamation, the Ancestral Shrine Palace became silent in a split second. All the royal highness of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, the representatives of the top sects in Taixia Country including the representative of Taiyi Fantasy Sect revealed shocked looks; some of them even became restless …
Before Zhang Tie arrived, he had already shocked everyone at present... (To be continued.)
