At the central plaza of Heavenly Yin City:
With the appearance of the Wen Dao Sacred Hall, a powerful aura suppressed the five hundred million citizens in the city, causing them to remain silent.
After the four hosts were inspected by the Wen Dao Sacred Hall, they landed on their respective round platforms.
"Invite Daqiansheng up to the arbiter position!" Ram Saint shouted as he looked coldly at the one hundred thousand participating scholars.
At the shout, Ram Saint, the Ninth Young Master, Venerable Liu Nian, and Ding Ding clasped their hands in front of them and bowed slightly.
Countless citizens in Heavenly Yin City also bowed respectfully.
They saw nine huge dragons pulling a huge carriage in the distance. White clouds surrounded the carriage, and a large number of Da Qian officials stood on the white clouds. Takeshi Ryūshin, Sima Zongheng, and a large number of dignified people stood respectfully behind the nine dragons carriage.
"Wu, wu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"
A horn sounded in Heavenly Yin City as though it was welcoming the arrival of Daqiansheng.
A tall platform was set up in the north of the central plaza.
The dragon carriage slowly landed on the tall platform.
The imperial palanquin descended, and the surrounding officials stood respectfully behind it until the bead curtains of the imperial palanquin were slowly pulled open.
Slowly, the curtain of the carriage pulled open, and a flat imperial crown extended from within.
Everyone knew that it was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Greetings to His Holiness. Long live His Holiness!" The surrounding officials and soldiers bowed respectfully.
"Greetings to His Holiness. Long live His Holiness!" Countless citizens bowed excitedly.
For some reason, the arrival of the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed to have reduced the pressure of the Wen Dao Sacred Hall instantly. The commoners were able to speak freely and they looked at the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty excitedly.
The instant Daqiansheng stepped out of the dragon carriage, a vague golden aura surged into the sky with Daqiansheng as the center.
"Boom!"
The Vast Ocean of Qi above Daqiansheng's head was blown away, and the golden airflow turned into a golden cloud that floated in the sky.
Above the golden clouds, there seemed to be golden dragons cruising around. It was incomparably magical.
Daqiansheng stepped off the dragon carriage, and the dragon carriage slowly flew away. The officials behind him immediately placed the dragon chair behind Daqiansheng.
"So it's Daqiansheng?" Gu Hai's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment.
On the stage, Daqiansheng had an ordinary appearance. He looked like a mortal in his fifties or sixties. However, at this moment, he looked like a supreme being on the stage. He wore a jade crown on his head, a brown robe with a golden dragon on it, and a pair of rainbow-colored cloud silk boots. Endless auspicious air surrounded his body.
"You may rise!" Daqiansheng said lightly.
His voice was not loud, but it strangely entered everyone's ears.
"Thank His Holiness!" Countless officials, soldiers, and commoners stood up excitedly.
Daqiansheng slowly sat on the dragon chair.
"The Future of the Holy Land of the Spirited Mountain greets Daqiansheng!" A soft shout suddenly came from the west of the square.
Gu Hai turned his head and saw a large number of monks standing on a high platform in the distance. The one in the lead was a white-robed bald monk in his twenties. There was a golden ribbon wrapped around his eyes. He put his palms together and bowed slightly to Daqiansheng.
"The Future Buddha?" Gu Hai frowned slightly.
There seemed to be a golden halo behind the Future Buddha's head, emitting waves of Buddhist light.
"The Taishang of the Wanshou Taoism greets Daqiansheng!" A woman suddenly shouted from the south of the square.
Gu Hai looked over and saw that there was also a high platform in the south. A large number of white-robed men and women stood on it. The one in the lead was an extremely beautiful woman. She looked like a mortal in her thirties. Her skin was as white as snow, and her breasts were full. Her white robe outlined her flesh and bones. There seemed to be an irresistible charm and mature charm. Coupled with the seductive cinnabar between her eyebrows, many people were stunned. It was as if all the beauty in the world was gathered in her body. However, there was a cold look in her eyes.
"The Giant of the Taishang Taoism?" Gu Hai's expression changed slightly.
Behind the Giant of the Taishang Taoism, there were a few colorful ribbons floating. They seemed to bring out rainbows that dyed the sky.
"The Beginning of the Solar Divine Palace greets Daqiansheng!" A soft shout came from the Dongfang of the square.
In the Dongfang, there seemed to be countless angels appearing. A holy light suddenly lit up the surroundings.
In front of a large group of angels, a middle-aged man in white robes stood on the high platform. He looked at the Daqiansheng and bowed slightly.
"The Beginning?" Gu Hai's pupils shrank.
He hadn't heard any news about the Beginning for the past few days. Unexpectedly, he suddenly arrived.
The Daqiansheng sat on the dragon throne and only nodded. He didn't stand up to return the greeting.
"The Heavens above, I, the ruler of the Da Qian Celestial Empire, the Long Zhanguo, thank the Heavens for bestowing me. I will be the judge of the Thousand Saints Conference. I will extend the Righteous Dao for eternity!" The Daqiansheng said Solemnly to the sky.
"Rumble!"
The vast sea of vital energy in the sky suddenly churned.
"The Daqiansheng, the Long Zhanguo!" Gu Hai stared at the Daqiansheng.
Although he didn't respond to the three Holy Lands, the three Holy Lands didn't blame him at all. This was the Da Qian's status. One word from him shook the world.
Solemnly, the Ram Saint said, "Let's welcome the Thousand Saints!"
"Rumble!"
As the vast sea of vital energy churned, suddenly, there was a pleasant sound of guqin in the sky. There seemed to be many people reciting poems in the music. In the sky, there seemed to be countless illusions of celestial birds and divine beasts. Many stars shone everywhere.
Although the sound was very loud and gave people a very pleasant feeling, for some reason, no one could hear what was being said clearly.
Until a voice sounded.
"The Heavens above, we are willing to submit for generations! Guide the common people, procreate, carry out the law on behalf of the Heavens, and share the glory of the Celestial Dome! "A voice sounded.
From the Sacred Hall of Wen Dao, figures in white slowly walked out one after another. The faces of the figures in white couldn't be seen clearly. They seemed to be dressed like scholars. Boundless vital energy surrounded their bodies as they walked.
One after another, and another after another. There were more and more of them. It was as if a sky full of immortals had suddenly appeared.
In an instant, the 500 million people in Heavenly Yin City were all silent. They stared with wide eyes.
"Those are Saints?" Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.
"That's right. Those are the heavenly souls of Saints. Perhaps they were bestowed by the Heavens to have special bodies!" Sima Changkong whispered behind Gu Hai.
"The voice just now came from the Sacred Hall of Wen Dao. I can understand the rest, but what is the 'Celestial Dome' that it mentioned?" Gu Hai asked, puzzled.
"Uh? Celestial Dome? Mr. Goode listened very carefully. I'm not sure either. I guess the dome means heaven, and the Celestial Dome means heaven, right? "Sima Changkong said blankly.
"No, the Celestial Dome is an object!" Chang Sheng said immediately.
"Oh? Object? What is the Celestial Dome? "Gu Hai looked at Chang Sheng, puzzled.
"Uh, I don't know either. The old man mentioned it before, but he didn't dare to mention it again. Zi Wei, didn't you ask the old man before? What did he say? "Chang Sheng looked at Zi Wei.
"Nonsense. I just asked what the Celestial Dome was, and the old man beat me up. He even told me not to mention it in the future. This is a secret of the Heavens! If the Heavens want to punish us, no one can escape. "Zi Wei shook her head.
"…!" Gu Hai was speechless.
The Saints walked out of the Sacred Hall of Wen Dao and gradually divided into two groups. They stood in the sky above the square.
There were 8,000 Saints in one group, and 2,000 in the other.
Daqiansheng sat on the Long Zhanguo Dragon Throne and didn't say anything else.
Ram Saint, on the other hand, bowed respectfully to the 10,000 Saints who were slowly stabilizing themselves.
"Ram Saint, the abbot of Calligraphy Dao, please classify the Saints and choose the order of the test!" Ram Saint said respectfully.
"Buzz!"
The 8,000 Saints retreated, and the 2,000 Saints stood in the sky above the Ocean of Vital Energy, looking down at the central square.
"What's the meaning of this?" Gu Hai looked at Sima Changkong.
"Those 8,000 Saints were formed from the souls of the dead literary cultivators of the three holy lands!" Sima Changkong said with a bitter smile.
"Oh?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Those 8,000 Saints supported the three holy lands. These 2,000 Saints are the normal literary Saints. There are 500 of each. Mr. Goode, do you know why the leaders of the three holy lands didn't participate in the competition?" Sima Changkong said with a bitter smile.
"Why?"
"These 2,000 Saints hate the three holy lands. So, if the Sutra of Taishang, Sutra of the Future, and Sutra of Taichu appear, the 2,000 Saints will definitely not choose them. The leaders of the three holy lands will not embarrass themselves. Instead, they will fight with the people of the Yan and Huang Celestial Dynasties for the first round of Saint Recommendations with us!" Sima Changkong explained.
"Oh? There are conflicts between the Saints? "Gu Hai's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Mr. Goode, don't think that they are all dead. They have their own thoughts," Sima Changkong explained.
"Oh?"
"Taishang, Sutra of the Future, and Sutra of the Future will only enter the second round! At this moment, they are only sending some ordinary disciples to try their luck! "Sima Changkong explained.
Gu Hai nodded.
"In the first round, there are only these two thousand Saints. Mister Gu, you have to be careful. Later on, try your best to display the four arts and resonate with the Saints. Naturally, you will be recommended by the Saints. The more you obtain, the better. Us literary practitioners will help you and recommend you to the Saints!" Sima Changkong said seriously.
"Okay!" Gu Hai nodded.
"Let's begin. Four arts!" In the sky, one of the 2,000 Saints spoke.
If the four hosts did not speak, the 100,000 scholars would not start. Because the four of them were the hosts. They were the rules.
"Number 100, Gu Hai!" Ram Saint called.
"Here!" Gu Hai was slightly startled and walked forward.
In the surroundings, Xuan En, Ye Hua, Azure Thearch, Emperor Kong, and the others stared with wide eyes. Why did Gong Yangsheng call for Gu Hai in the middle of the Grand Competition?
"You will start. Zhan Wendao, lead the Saints!" Ram Saint said Solemnly.
"What?" Xuanen's expression changed.
"Let Gu Hai start first? This is cheating. Gu Hai started first and stole our chance! "Seven Kills' expression changed.
"Hmph, the Da Qian Celestial Empire is using the hosts. Cheating!"
…
…
…
Suddenly, countless scholars glared at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai was speechless.
Gu Hai was speechless. Was this an undeserved disaster?
"Whoever dares to make a ruckus will be disqualified!" Ram Saint shouted.
Buzz!
The people who were making a ruckus stopped abruptly.
All the resources were tilted toward him. Wasn't it too obvious?
"Gu Hai, you can start!" Ram Saint said Solemnly.
"…!" Gu Hai was speechless.
Start? How could he start? Hang himself out and let him perform first? Although it was beneficial to him, wasn't it a little unethical?
"Master, why don't I start first? Play your song, or I can sing!" Gouchen shouted.
"Mr. Goode, I'll do it. I'll help you recite the poem!" Zi Wei shouted.
"Mr. Goode, I'll do it. I'll help you paint!" Chang Sheng also shouted.
Gu Hai looked at the Sky Full Sage. The Sky Full Sage did not seem to care.
However, at this moment, almost 500 million people were staring at him. Some were happy, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and some were angry. He felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't need to ask for help in the four arts. He had some background in the four arts, but he didn't seem to have any painting skills.
"Changsheng, I'll have to trouble you to give it a try first!" Gu Hai said.
Painting? He wasn't good at it. Let Chang Sheng try. It was fine even if something happened.
"Me? What should I paint? I'll paint whatever you want me to paint! "Chang Sheng immediately shouted.
"Whatever!" Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.
He didn't know anything about painting. Naturally, he couldn't say anything. Let Chang Sheng do it.
"Alright!" Chang Sheng nodded.
A desk full of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones was placed in front of Gu Hai. Gu Hai asked Chang Sheng to paint.
At this moment, 500 million people were staring at Chang Sheng.
"Humph! I want to see what kind of shocking painting the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty will produce and how many Saints will recommend it!" Ye Hua said with a cold smile.
"That Chang Sheng?" Qing Emperor narrowed his eyes. He seemed familiar.
Ram Saint, Venerable Liu Nian, the Ninth Young Master, and Ding Ding looked at Chang Sheng in confusion.
Shang Daqiansheng in the north, Tai Chu in Dongfang in the Dongfang, Daoist Master Taishang in the south, and the Future Buddha in the west all looked confused.
Gu Hai smiled bitterly. He didn't know where to start now that he was in front of everyone.
"What? He's painting that thing again? I'm going to be blind! "Gouchen's expression suddenly changed.
Gu Hai was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look. He saw that Chang Sheng had already finished two strokes. Gu Hai knew what he was going to paint from those two strokes.
An egg?
Chang Sheng is going to paint an egg in front of 500 million people?
Chang Sheng is going to paint an egg in front of Shang Daqiansheng, Daoist Master Taishang, and Tai Chu?
Chang Sheng is going to paint an egg in front of all the Saints?
Gu Hai shuddered. However, Chang Sheng's brushes were extremely fast. He danced wildly, and the shape of the egg became clearer.
Gu Hai immediately turned his head away, sweating profusely. He didn't dare to look anymore.
Ram Saint shouted to the sky, "This is the first exhibition of painting. Painting Saints, please observe carefully and judge quickly!"
