After leaving the dragon carriage, the Heaven Queen and the Jade Emperor ascended the stage together.
The two of them were dressed in splendid attire. The Jade Emperor's face was dignified and had the elegance of an immortal. His beautiful beard made him look even more majestic.
Beside him, the Queen Mother of the West was bright and beautiful, yet she did not lose her bearing. The Queen Mother of the West's appearance was naturally impeccable. She was dignified and beautiful with a hint of grace, yet she was as delicate as a young girl, perfectly displaying the appearance of immortality.
The couple had previously fought openly and secretly, but today, they seemed to have abandoned their differences and appeared together.
However, anyone could tell that the Heaven Queen's smile was a little stiff. She was half a foot shorter than the Jade Emperor, but the phoenix crown on her head happened to make up for the difference in height. She had to be the same as the Jade Emperor.
No matter what problems there were between the nominal husband and wife, today's ceremony was very important. No one could cause trouble.
When the Jade Emperor and the Heaven Queen ascended the stage, an immortal official sang, "Greetings, immortals!"
The immortals and Buddhas bowed to the platform at the same time. The Heaven Queen bowed to return the greeting, and the Jade Emperor also bowed to the people below.
When he stood up, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall behind the Jade Emperor shone brightly, making the supreme figure of the Three Realms look incomparably majestic.
The immortal official shouted, "The Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony begins!"
Then, he bowed and retreated. Venus Taibai walked to the middle of the steps and flicked her horsetail whisk. She took out a golden decree and spread it out. She began to read a bunch of extremely awkward sentences.
Her tone was strange and her words were difficult. Yang Jian listened carefully for a long time and only understood a small part of the content.
It was roughly saying that the Celestial Court was in charge of the Three Realms and acted on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. The Three Realms had good weather all year round, and living beings lived in peace. It was a prosperous atmosphere.
However, the evil demons wanted to destroy the world. They came in a menacing manner and were rather powerful. The Three Realms decided to protect the Primordial World to the last soldier. Today, they reported to the Heavenly Dao and prayed for the Heavenly Dao to protect them … and so on.
When Venus Taibai finished singing, another celestial official stepped forward and shouted, "Your Majesty, please pay your respects to Heaven and Earth!"
After saying that, drums sounded everywhere. The Jade Emperor and the Heaven Queen turned around at the same time and walked to the long table in the center of the high platform.
There was only a square incense burner on the table, simple and unadorned. It was definitely not an ordinary object.
The Jade Emperor took the ten-thousand-year incense from the immortal official beside him. With a solemn expression, he held the incense with both hands and bowed to the front. Then, he inserted three incense sticks that could burn for ten thousand years into the incense burner.
Then, the Jade Emperor lifted the front of his robe and slowly knelt down in front of the incense burner table together with the Heaven Queen and the immortal official.
Respecting the heavens and fearing the Heavenly Dao, the Jade Emperor's kneeling was an example he ought to make as the ruler of the Three Realms.
Below, all the immortals and gods knelt down. Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals knelt on one knee.
Yang Jian looked a little awkward.
He originally wanted to kneel down as well. It was only right for him to respect the heavens and earth. There was nothing wrong with kneeling down.
However, he suddenly realized that he had already become a Saint. If he knelt down, it would naturally not affect him, but it would seem to damage the dignity of a Saint …
He turned to look at the bottom of the platform and saw that the golden Buddha and the Grand Supreme Elder were resting with their eyes closed.
Not kneeling?
Yang Jian thought for a moment. He frowned slightly and knelt down on one knee like Li Jing. He bowed like a general.
Even if he became a Saint, he had to respect the world and the Primordial World that had given birth to the Saint.
Actually, there was nothing awkward about it. In the end, it was just a matter of mentality. Yang Jian's kneeling really attracted the attention of many immortals.
The Jade Emperor's voice sounded from the altar.
"May the Heavenly Dao hear the thoughts of all living beings! Give me endless blessings! "
As he spoke, the sound of the war drums was suddenly drowned out by the thunder from the depths of the sky. However, along with the thunder, rays of light filled the sky.
At that moment, an extremely magnificent but mottled golden light soared into the sky from the South Continent. It ignored the obstruction of the Celestial Court's array formation and collided with the rays of light descending from the sky!
That was … the destiny of the human race!
Yang Jian's thoughts moved slightly, and he immediately "saw" that there was also an incomparably vast Heavenly Worship Ceremony in the mortal world.
The Human Emperor was helping! The destiny of the Human Dao! The greatest destiny of the Three Realms rose into the sky!
In that case, who could say that the mortal world was useless in this Great Tribulation?
Looking at the Human Race's destiny colliding with the Heavenly Dao's light, in the blink of an eye, pillars of light appeared in the world. Thick clouds appeared in the sky above the Heaven Realm where the Soaring Heaven King Palace was located.
There were dozens of layers of clouds. They gathered the power of merit and destiny, and contained the Dao laws of the Great Dao of the Primordial World.
The thunder became deeper, and the drums could no longer be heard!
The Jade Emperor's deep voice pierced through the world.
"Heavenly Dao, please bestow blessings on all living beings!"
With a rumble, the thick clouds trembled and golden raindrops suddenly fell. The merit and destiny contained in a drop of golden raindrops were comparable to a hundred years of hard work for an ordinary immortal!
The heavy rain fell, and every drop landed on the immortals, Buddhas, ghosts, dragons, and humans. The Celestial Court was filled with a golden glow.
Yang Jian reached out to receive a drop of golden feather. He felt the power inside and nodded slightly.
After the rain fell for a while, layers of clouds scattered in all directions.
Half of the clouds flew in the direction of the North Sea, ten percent to the Center God Province, one percent to the Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents, and the remaining thirty percent to the Ancient Road to the Saint, to the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
In an instant, a golden rain of light fell everywhere in the world. Countless cultivators received the merit and destiny bestowed by the Heavenly Dao and hurriedly meditated on the spot.
From the Celestial Court to the North Ocean, and then to the trichiliocosm, the cultivators looked delighted, especially in the North Ocean and the North Continent. Countless cultivators were meditating together. The scene was magnificent!
The Heavenly Dao's blessing was indeed extraordinary.
However, that was the limit of what the Heavenly Dao could do.
Ordinary Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals benefited the most because their strength was the lowest in the Celestial Court. One to two thousand years of cultivation was precious.
To cultivators above the Golden Immortal realm, the merit and destiny were better than nothing. Only a few great cultivators who had broken through the bottleneck benefited greatly.
However, that was the atmosphere he wanted.
The morale of the Primordial World was greatly boosted!
Yang Jian took advantage of the opportunity when the Heavenly Dao was exerting its power to carefully experience the Primordial Heavenly Dao. At that moment, he could see all the changes in the Primordial Heavenly Dao at a glance.
The Heavenly Dao was heartless because the Heavenly Dao did not have a true spirit. The only thought was the remnant will of the God Pan to protect all living beings.
After Daoist Tian Yan was born, more than half of this will had been divided.
The Heavenly Dao was more like an extremely precise and magical array formation. Although it was created by Pangu, it continued to evolve and develop on its own. In the end, it completely protected the Primordial World.
The influence between cultivators and the Heavenly Dao was actually mutual.
Although only the Saint realm could directly interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao, if the thoughts of ordinary living beings gathered together, they could also change the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao.
After half a day of silence, when most of the Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and immortals recovered from their comprehension and cultivation, the immortal official walked forward again and shouted,
"The ceremony is over! Immortals, listen up! "
The Jade Emperor and the Heaven Queen had already stood up. At that moment, they turned around at the same time and walked to the edge of the platform, standing at the end of the steps.
Venus Taibai stood in the middle of the steps again and took out another decree. She began to read it loudly.
"The battle is imminent. The army cannot be without a general!"
It was rare for Venus Taibai to be impassioned. He stood there and recited loudly. He began to confer a series of titles to the Marshals of the Celestial Court.
First, it was the Grand Marshal of the military, Li Jing, who was in charge of the deployment of the Heavenly Soldiers. He stayed beside the Jade Emperor and observed the entire situation.
Li Jing walked forward to accept the decree and thank him. Immediately, he was struck by a pillar of light that descended from the sky. His aura slowly rose and forcefully increased by several small realms. He had long become a mighty figure by the Heavenly Dao!
Yang Jian pretended to be surprised …
The supreme experts could revive from the dead. They could even raise a figure like the East Emperor Taiyi, who should have been a quasi-saint, to a Saint. Such mystical abilities could be said to be unfathomable.
Now, the "mysticism" displayed by the Heavenly Dao was too shocking.
Li Jing's cultivation level had always been low, but now, his cultivation level was worthy of being the Grand Marshal of the military of the Celestial Court.
"Great Elder of the Skyward Pavilion, please step forward and accept the conferment!"
Venus Taibai called out the names of several people. Naturally, they were all the trusted aides of the Jade Emperor.
The higher one's position was, the weaker one's strength would be, and the higher one's cultivation level would be forcibly raised by the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, the army under the control of the Celestial Court was uncountable. There were at least a hundred generals who needed to be conferred titles, and all of them were extremely famous.
In addition, the Buddhist League, the Underworld, and the Dragon Palace had also received a lot of rewards.
Anyone who had a title could be protected by the Heavenly Dao. Those who were weak could improve their strength, and those who were strong could directly condense a treasure to suppress their luck.
This was probably the advantage of fighting on the home ground.
Yang Jian listened for an hour, and the conferment of generals finally came to an end. Venus Taibai's mouth was dry as he rolled up the decree in his hand.
Just as the immortals and deities who had received great benefits were about to express their gratitude, Venus Taibai took out another decree.
Venus Taibai asked in a gentle voice, "Saint of the Great Path, Erlang Xiansheng, are you willing to accept the conferment?"
