There were two halls on each side of the Vermilion Bird Main Hall. The Vermilion Bird Holy Son came from the hall on the right, stepping on the long corridor formed by hundreds of huge flaming birds. He was the center of attention as soon as he appeared.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Holy Son was extremely dazzling. He was the main character of this moment.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son had a smile on his face, and the light in his eyes was restrained. He looked humble, but he also had a natural pride, which made him even more extraordinary.
Immediately, there was a clear cry from the hall on the left, and a fiery red color filled the sky. Hundreds of flaming birds soared into the sky, forming a flaming corridor in the air that led directly to the Vermilion Bird Stage.
Three figures also appeared, standing side by side on the backs of flaming birds.
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden!
At this moment, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was also dressed in a fiery red robe embroidered with golden patterns of a phoenix bathed in flames. She did not wear a veil on her face, and her face was completely revealed. Her expression was very calm, as if she did not care about anything. When she walked, she was supported by two maids.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son!
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden!
The Couple Ceremony had also begun. The so-called Couple Ceremony was about choosing a Dao Companion.
Seeing the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden walking over, the Holy Son Bai Fu's eyes narrowed, and then a playful smile appeared on his face, as if he had discovered something.
Other than the Holy Son Bai Fu, there were also some other experts who seemed to have noticed something and felt puzzled. However, no one said anything, because in such an occasion, if they said anything, it would offend both the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. It was not a good thing.
Of course, for powerful ancient holy lands like the Jambu Palace, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, and Heavenly Mystery Sect, even if they offended the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain, the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain would not dare to say anything. The difference was too great.
However, even if the people of the three ancient holy lands noticed something strange, they would not directly say it. No one was that stupid. After all, the person involved had nothing to do with them.
Soon, the Vermilion Bird Holy Son and the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden walked onto the Vermilion Bird Stage.
"Today … the Holy Son of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Ground and the Goddess of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain will become Dao Companions …" The person who announced the announcement was a Great Sage from the Qinglong Sacred Ground. His voice was shockingly powerful and unique. It contained a certain charm when he spoke, causing people to focus on listening.
"Now … please bow to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth …"
Finding a dao companion was a very relative matter. It was relatively simple, but it was also relatively difficult.
Simple or difficult, that was relative to different people. Some cultivators just needed to find dao companions and get along well with each other. There was no need to hold any kind of ceremony. They just needed to acknowledge the dao of heaven and earth, or hold a simple ceremony and invite some friends to bear witness.
Just like ordinary people getting married, ordinary families often wouldn't be too extravagant and would just hold a relatively simple wedding. However, some wealthy families were different and would hold a very grand wedding.
That was the logic.
The Vermillion Bird Holy Son and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain were not some small force, but rather Holy Lands. They were both major Holy Lands, and the ones who had become Dao companions were the Vermillion Bird Holy Son and the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden. Their statuses were even more extraordinary.
With such statuses, the ceremony of becoming dao companions naturally had to be very grand. It was widely announced and various elites from various Holy Lands would be invited to participate.
However, no matter how small or grand the ceremony was, there was a step that had to be followed, and that was to bow to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
From the moment cultivators stepped on the path of cultivation, they would have to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. When they reached the Saint level, they would have to walk out their own Great Dao based on the foundation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, their own Great Dao was also inseparable from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. To a certain extent, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth would complement each other.
However, no matter what, cultivators all started from comprehending the Great Dao, and they had to maintain a natural reverence for the Great Dao.
When ordinary people got married, they would bow to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and then bow to their parents. Then, when cultivators became dao companions, they would bow to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. At the same time, they would also have the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as witnesses. To a certain extent, it was like swearing an oath to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If they violated it, they would suffer a backlash.
Only in this way could they ensure that they wouldn't easily betray the other party.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth required nine bows. Nine was the extreme number. If one didn't reach it, they wouldn't reach it. If one surpassed it, they wouldn't fall short.
The nine bows were not the end. After the nine bows, they still had to chant the Dao Runes to trigger the resonance of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Only then would they truly become dao companions. That being said, ordinary cultivators would not go through so much trouble. At most, they would just bow to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
If they only bowed to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth without chanting the Dao Runes to trigger the resonance of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, they would not suffer any harm even if they were to betray the other party. However, if they were to trigger the resonance of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth after chanting the Dao Runes, it was equivalent to receiving the approval and blessings of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If they were to betray the other party, they would not die, but they would have to bear the consequences.
First bow!
The Vermilion Bird Saint immediately bowed and bowed, while the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden bowed with the help of the two maidservants.
Second bow!
Third bow!
The Vermilion Bird Saint's face was filled with indescribable joy and excitement, while the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's face did not show any hint of joy or sorrow. Either way, it was extremely calm, to the point that it felt a little dull.
One bow after another. Soon, the nine bows were completed.
The Qinglong Sacred Area's Great Sage Realm expert began to chant the Dao Runes. His voice contained some sort of Dao Rhyme, as if each of his words contained a mysterious and obscure force. His voice echoed in all directions, echoing endlessly between the Heavens and Earth.
A gust of wind blew, causing ripples to appear. In the sky, wisps of fiery red began to spread. The red was not the red of blood, but the red of flames. It spread into the surroundings with a fiery aura, turning into red clouds that gathered in the sky. An endless mystical aura of the Great Dao of Flames began to spread.
As the Qinglong Sacred Area's Great Sage Realm expert continued to chant the Dao Runes, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth began to ripple. A mystical force continued to accumulate. Thousands of birds continued to chirp, as countless Dao Runes echoed in all directions. Flowers of the Great Dao began to appear in the sky and slowly descended.
This was the response of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as it began to resonate.
"Vermilion Bird Saint, Yan Zhenji, Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden, Gu Qinghuang, are you willing to become dao companions under the witness of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? Are you willing to stay by each other's side in life and death, and explore the Great Dao together?" The Qinglong Sacred Area's Great Sage Realm expert said in a dignified manner, accompanied by a series of explosions.
"I, Yan Zhenji, am willing." The Vermilion Bird Holy Son took a deep breath and replied with a loud and powerful voice. It echoed in all directions, resonating with the explosions of the Heavens and Earth.
Everyone's gaze instantly landed on the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's face, waiting for her response.
However, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden did not respond for a long time. She seemed to be completely expressionless. Her mouth opened and closed, but her eyes were fluctuating, as if she was struggling.
"I …" The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's mouth slowly opened.
It was a little stiff and difficult, as if she was resisting, but she was unable to resist. "I …"
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son looked at the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden, and a hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes.
"I …"
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's reaction immediately caused the Vermilion Bird Holy Leader and the others to frown slightly. Their expressions were unpleasant, and the people from the Ancient Phoenix Mountain were the same. While they were secretly anxious, they were also a little annoyed, especially the Golden Phoenix Grand Sage, whose expression turned colder.
Why, why is she still not responding?
"I … I … am willing …" The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden opened her mouth with difficulty. As she was about to say the last word, a hint of joy appeared on the Vermilion Bird Holy Son's face.
But the last word was extremely difficult. The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's body trembled slightly, as if she was struggling.
At this moment, even the slowest person realized that something was wrong. It seemed that something was wrong. The playful expression on the Holy Son Bai Fu's face became more and more obvious, but he had no intention of interfering. And even if he did, not only would it not work, he would also not gain any benefits.
The Jambu Palace Ancient Holy Land was indeed very famous, but the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain were not to be trifled with, either. Once any conflict broke out, there would be losses.
Just because of this, any conflict would occur. Neither side was willing.
The others also saw that something was wrong, but no one stepped forward.
Suddenly, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's body trembled slightly, as if she had been struck by lightning. Then, she stopped in an instant and opened her mouth again.
"I, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden … am willing …" When these words rang out, the moment the last word was about to leave her mouth, suddenly, an earth-shattering sword chime rang out between heaven and earth. It was so resounding, so shocking, and so deafening.
There was no lack of sword cultivators among those who had come. Their swords also seemed to be guided by a mysterious force, vibrating in their scabbards as if they were about to leave the scabbard, causing them to be extremely shocked.
Accompanying that earth-shattering sword chime was a thunderous roar that seemed to split the heavens, directly reverberating through heaven and earth and shaking all directions.
"I don't agree!"
There were only four short words, but every single one of them contained a shocking amount of power. It was extremely decisive, and it drowned out the rumbling of the Great Dao in the world. When it entered everyone's ears, it immediately caused a great commotion.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. In such an occasion, there was actually someone who dared to say something like "I don't agree". That was completely trampling on the faces of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and the Ancient Phoenix Mountain.
Who was it?
Who had the guts to do this? Who was so audacious?
A sword light streaked across the sky, bringing with it a shocking sword power. It instantly flew over from outside the Vermilion Bird Holy Land and directly flew toward the Phoenix Arena.
"How dare you!" A Pristine Saint from the Vermilion Bird Holy Land shouted angrily and immediately exploded, blasting out an extremely terrifying flame flowing light. The flame burned, and the flowing light was extremely fast. When it merged together, it directly bombarded the sword light with a terrifying power. The attack was launched with anger, and there was no mercy in it.
However, the blazing flame flowing light was directly split by the sword light. It was like a hot knife through butter, and it did not have any effect at all.
This scene immediately caused many people to feel astonished. Soon after, a playful smile appeared on the faces of some people.
It seemed that this Couple's Ceremony was not so ordinary, and it was going to become interesting.
