23rd of the 5th month in the 55th year of the Yuanfeng era.
This was a day of great significance.
The emperor of Qi would personally visit the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay his respects to the late emperor.
Then, before the ancestors of the Jiang Dynasty, he would select talents for the country and personally encourage them to participate in the Gathering of the Yellow River.
The Tianjiao of the country would also have to display his outstanding talent before the emperor and the people of the world to prove that he was qualified to represent Qi.
At that time, all of the officials and the royal family would be present.
The elders above a hundred years old in Linzi City and the 99 families randomly selected by the Imperial Clan Court would be present to observe the event.
It was called the 'Ceremony of the Grandmaster'.
The Ceremony of the Grandmaster was meant to be used by everyone.
When the emperor went on a crusade, there would be etiquette for the military. This was especially so when the emperor personally went on a crusade.
In other words, the entire Qi treated the Gathering of the Yellow River as a war. They treated it as a war of nations.
Everything that happened during the ceremony would be recorded by the historians.
The results of the Ceremony of the Grandmaster, such as the selection of the inner sanctum and the victory of the outer sanctum, would be announced to the entire Linzi City.
This would prove that this was indeed the Tianjiao that the entire Qi recognized. They could really represent Qi and compete with the heroes of the world.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Wang realized that the Gathering of the Yellow River was more important than he had imagined.
It wasn't just the title of the number one Tianjiao in the world!
That was right.
That was why Zuo Guangshu said that the number one Qi and the number one Chu were not the number one. Only the number one in the Gathering of the Yellow River was the true number one in the world.
There must be something worthy of being the number one in the world in the Gathering of the Yellow River. That was why the Tianjiao of the other countries were willing to go all out. That was why the title of number one in the world was so convincing.
Since Jiang Wang was the one who took the initiative to participate in the Gathering of the Yellow River, Chung Geng Sheng and Yan Fu thought that he knew the meaning of the Gathering of the Yellow River, so they didn't explain it to him.
So far, Jiang Wang's understanding of the Gathering of the Yellow River was limited to the 'number one in the world' and the 'division of territory'. He didn't even know how the division of territory was done …
However, it wasn't a big deal.
No matter what they fought for, no matter how important the Yellow River Conference was, Jiang Wang had already decided to participate, so he would not back down.
The more important, the better!
The more important it was, the more things they could fight for.
The more important it was, the more it was worth it.
As the Tianjiao of the Inner Mansion, Jiang Wang left with Chung Geng Sheng in a palanquin before dawn.
With Chung Geng Sheng's family background, he was naturally a member of the "audience", and he even brought 14 with him.
Fortunately, the sedan bearers were all Transcendent cultivators. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to carry the two people with their fat bodies and iron armor.
The sedan chair of Marquis Bowang's Mansion was of a very high standard. Jiang Wang, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was one of the main characters of this year's' Master's Ceremony '. The Imperial Court had specially issued a nameplate, which was now hanging in front of the sedan chair.
The palanquin was carried all the way to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This year's' Master's Ceremony 'would begin in the square in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Qi was very popular with martial artists. In history, when they conquered countries, they had the tradition of holding prisoners or offering their heads in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
It was not against the rules to hold the 'Master's Ceremony' in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Neigh!
Jiang Wang's palanquin had not yet stopped. Jiang Wang was still resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a horse neighed. The horse's hooves stomped on the ground like a drum, and it only stopped abruptly when it reached the front of the palanquin.
Good heavens, who was this? Riding a horse near the Imperial Ancestral Temple?
Although they had not reached the Imperial Ancestral Temple, it was not disrespectful. But this was … a little too arrogant!
Jiang Wang was still analyzing the sound.
Then, he heard the person ask, "Are you Jiang Wang?"
It was not very fierce.
The nameplate was hanging outside the palanquin, and there was no way to hide.
Jiang Wang was sitting on the left side of the palanquin. Although it was quite a big palanquin, it was still squeezed to the side by Chongxuan Fat and the heavy armor 14.
When he heard this sound, he lifted half of the palanquin curtain and looked outside.
What he saw was a young man who could be considered handsome but was unusually high-profile.
He saw that this person was wearing a magnificent brocade robe and was riding a tall horse. The horse was tied with colored balls and fluttering red silk. He simply looked like a bridegroom!
There was a nameplate hanging on the horse's neck, indicating that it was one of the main characters today. However, it just so happened that the nameplate was turned inside, so the name on the front could not be seen.
He looked like a son of a military family, but Jiang Wang guessed that he might be from a family of civil officials.
Speaking of which, there was a very interesting phenomenon that Jiang Wang himself concluded.
Nowadays, the young masters in Linzi City, generally speaking, were from families of civil officials. They liked to ride horses to show off their masculinity. Those from families of generals liked to ride palanquins to show off their elegance. In short, all of them wanted to rely on being well-versed in civil and military affairs.
Of course, Chung Geng Sheng's reason for riding the palanquin had nothing to do with this. He just wanted to be comfortable.
"… You are?" Jiang Wang asked politely.
"Heh." The newcomer sneered. "Let me teach you a lesson. Gilded gold is not real gold. If you cheat, you will inevitably make a fool of yourself!"
Jiang Wang was speechless.
This was inexplicable!
Jiang Wang looked back at Chung Geng Sheng and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong with this person?"
Chung Geng Sheng didn't waste time talking nonsense. He directly squeezed forward, pulled open the other side of the palanquin curtain, stuck his head out, and roared, "Get lost!"
Chongxuan Fat's roar was really too loud. It was like a sudden clap of thunder, rolling out in waves.
It was as if thousands of troops and horses were going to kill his mother.
It scared the horse that provoked this person so much that it trembled.
Fortunately, this horse's bloodline was extraordinary. In the end, it didn't embarrass itself further.
Jiang Wang noticed that many people in the vicinity were looking over in surprise. One had to know that those who could come to the Imperial Ancestral Temple today, other than the lucky commoners and the elderly, were all either rich or noble. There weren't many things that could make them lose their composure.
Cursing in the streets near the Imperial Ancestral Temple, was this person crazy because he wanted to be in the history books?
Those people who were either openly or covertly gathering their gazes made the person who blocked the palanquin very uneasy.
He obviously didn't expect Chung Geng Sheng to be in the palanquin as well. He also didn't expect Chung Geng Sheng to roar angrily at the slightest disagreement. If this really happened, how would it end? This place wasn't far from the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
His face turned green and white. In the end, he couldn't argue with Chung Geng Sheng. He said fiercely, "Jiang Qingyang, you better go to the Yellow River Meeting. I'll give you good guidance on the way!"
He turned around and rode his horse away.
Jiang Wang was speechless for a while.
Even someone as cultured as him wanted to curse out loud.
You provoked me for no reason, but I didn't say a word.
The person who scolded you was Chongxuan Fat. It's fine if you don't look for him, but you said something fierce before you left, and you even said it to me!
Do I, Jiang Qingyang, have the words "easy to bully" written on my face?
Judging from his tone, he should be a participant of the other two matches. In the Outer Tower and the Unrestricted Field under 30, Jiang Wang only knew Bao Bozhao.
There was a conflict …
Could this be Ji Zhaonan, the second disciple of the God of War?
Why does he look like a stupid roe deer?
No, it shouldn't be …
If Qi's number one person under 30 was so careless, then everyone shouldn't go and embarrass themselves …
Jiang Wang sat back in the palanquin and cast a questioning look at Chung Geng Sheng. "Who did you offend this time?"
"Why are you looking at me?"
Compared to Jiang Wang's ignorance, Chung Geng Sheng naturally knew what was going on. He only curled his lips. "Go complain to your family!"
