Chapter 214 The Earth's Veins Take Shape, and Hear the Dragon's Roar
At that very moment, a deep and long dragon roar, like the sound of bells and tripods, slowly resounded from the depths of the land of Kyushu.
Like a thunderclap, it shocked everyone present, causing their hearts to race involuntarily.
The voice came from afar, seemingly carrying the weight of millions of years of history and revealing boundless majesty.
Its echoes reverberate through the air, causing the animals in the mountains and forests to raise their heads, and birds to circle overhead, chirping merrily.
The earth began to tremble slightly, as if something was stirring underground, about to break through the soil.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on the ground.
A golden light suddenly shot out from the ground, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, instantly illuminating the entire summit of Mount Tai.
The light was dazzling, yet it also carried a strange sense of weight and reassurance.
As the light faded, a long golden dragon slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Its eyes were like two dazzling pearls, and its body was covered with shimmering golden scales that shimmered with a dark golden luster, making people dare not look directly at it, majestic and inviolable.
Its body is huge and agile, hovering in the air like a golden mountain peak soaring into the sky.
As it swam, it released waves of golden light, making the entire summit of Mount Tai appear dreamlike and ethereal.
This golden dragon is the embodiment of the earth's veins in the Nine Provinces. Summoned by Chu Lengyu, it finally awakens from its slumber.
Its appearance is of great significance.
After the Earth Vein Golden Dragon appeared, it did not immediately merge into the vast Star God Annihilation Array. Instead, it circled the array slowly with an air of supreme dominance, seemingly observing it.
Upon seeing this, Chu Lengyu quickly formed hand seals, and starlight emanated from her fingertips.
She tightly linked her will with the formation, guiding more stellar power into the formation, laying an invisible bridge to prepare for the fusion of the golden dragon.
Under Chu Lengyu's control, the power of the Star God Annihilation Array gradually increased, and the already dazzling starlight threads began to shine even brighter.
The Earth Vein Golden Dragon seemed to sense the powerful call emanating from the great formation. It roared to the sky, its voice deafening, as if it could pierce through the heavens and the earth.
Then, it suddenly swam into the Star Destroyer Array, its golden body intertwining with the starlight threads, creating a breathtaking scene.
The Earth Vein Golden Dragon let out an even louder roar, its body gradually fading into streams of dark golden energy that merged into the Star Annihilation Array.
The moment it merged into the grand formation, the entire Star God Annihilation Formation seemed to be completely activated, bursting forth with unprecedented light.
Driven by the golden dragon of the earth's veins, the starlight threads began to spin and intertwine wildly, forming complex and mysterious patterns.
Dark golden earth vein power weaves through the array, intertwining with starlight threads, as if merging into one.
With the blessing of the Earth Vein Golden Dragon, the Star Annihilation Array is even more powerful than before, and every line in the array has become brighter.
Chu Lengyu held the array plate, concentrating on sensing the immense power contained within the array.
This power is like a vast ocean, surging endlessly; the power of heaven and earth is indeed awe-inspiring.
With this formation in hand, she could protect herself even against opponents at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone those at the Divine Transformation stage.
With the integration of the earth's vein power, the Star God Annihilation Array is fully activated. It forms a perfect cycle with the celestial stars and the earth's veins of the nine provinces, continuously absorbing the power of heaven and earth to strengthen itself and greatly reduce consumption.
Everyone present, including the emperor and his ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty and the representatives of the Nine Provinces, witnessed this magnificent sight and were once again deeply moved.
The abilities Chu Lengyu displayed far exceeded the scope of what ordinary people could imagine.
They could only stare blankly at this sudden change, unable to even think about it.
Only now did the emperor come to his senses and realize the truth.
He realized that Chu Lengyu actually had another purpose for today's Shangsi Festival.
She had so readily agreed to the position of Imperial Preceptor, and even volunteered to have the Nine Tripods cast and preside over the ceremony; it turns out that all of this was preparation for this moment.
Everything she did was not entirely for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, but rather part of a far-reaching plan.
Thinking of this, the emperor shook his head with a wry smile.
Although he felt somewhat disappointed, he also understood that whatever Chu Lengyu's purpose was, at least the Great Xia had gained unprecedented strength and glory in this Shangsi Grand Ceremony.
He consoled himself: No matter what, Great Xia has not lost out!
Thus, the Shangsi Festival came to a slow close amidst the great anticipation of the crowd.
After the sacrificial ceremony, Chu Lengyu announced to everyone that he would stay in Mount Tai for a period of time to consolidate the gains from the ceremony and further comprehend the way of heaven and earth.
"I have gained a lot from this sacrificial ceremony and need to go into seclusion for meditation. The area around Mount Tai will be temporarily closed off, and no one is allowed to approach it without authorization. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences."
Her gaze swept over everyone present, causing them to involuntarily tense up and lower their heads in awe.
The emperor stepped forward and said with concern, "The Grand Preceptor's seclusion for cultivation is a major event, and I will certainly give my full support. If the Grand Preceptor needs anything, please feel free to give your instructions, and I will make all the necessary preparations for him."
Chu Lengyu nodded slightly to express her gratitude: "I understand Your Majesty's intentions. During my seclusion, I only need a quiet place, and there is no need for any other trouble."
Subsequently, Chu Lengyu personally cast a spell to safely send everyone back to the capital city. Only Aurora Fox, who had an extraordinary desire for the power of the stars, was allowed to stay.
The Star God Annihilation Array is currently in the deep integration stage, constantly circulating, which is enough to ensure that she will not be disturbed by the outside world during her seclusion.
Even a single ray of starlight can easily pierce the earth. Animals, sensing the terrifying aura within, will instinctively flee this place. Those ordinary people who are ignorant of their own limitations are better off not coming here to seek death.
As the crowd departed, Mount Tai returned to its usual tranquility.
Chu Lengyu stood alone atop Mount Tai. After a moment of meditation, she began to analyze her gains.
Although an accident occurred during the sacrificial ceremony, it was not a bad thing. Her understanding and perception of the Way of Heaven deepened, which can be considered a rare opportunity.
The restrictions carried by the grand formation naturally formed an invisible barrier, isolating it from the noise of the outside world.
Birds and beasts have gone far away, and the wind is not heard.
In this silence, Chu Lengyu's mind gradually entered a state of tranquility, withdrawing from worldly affairs and finding peace and seclusion.
Sitting cross-legged within the Star Annihilation Array, gazing up at the universe and down at the earth, she could feel the pulse of the earth and comprehend the trajectories of the sun, moon, and stars.
Unbeknownst to her, her state of mind had improved, and the spiritual energy within her body had become more refined.
