Chapter 597 A Request for a Hammer Received, A Grand Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth

"Knock knock!"

Several muffled thuds, like thunder, came from the forbidden area of ​​the Primordial Holy Sect.

In the Daoist temple of the Primordial Saint Sect, Dao Yi and the others, who were preparing for the grand ceremony of Heaven and Earth, all had slight changes in their expressions as they looked towards the direction of the back mountain.

What's going on?
The Holy Lord of the Moving Mountain Sect has been in the back mountain for more than three days without any movement.

Today is the day of the grand ceremony for Heaven and Earth. If they don't come out soon, he will have to go in and ask them to come.

This grand ceremony for Heaven and Earth is different from the past; it must be presided over by the Holy Ruler himself.

Just as they were hesitating, a commotion came from the back mountain.

Have the two sage rulers finished their discussion?
The three of them exchanged glances, each with some doubts in their hearts.

If this discussion on the Dao is too commotion, they clearly felt the sacred mountain where the Innate Holy Sect is located tremble slightly.

Could it be that the two got so engrossed in their discussion that they started fighting?
The three were not too worried about this, as their own sage ruler had been enlightened for nearly two thousand years.

The Mountain Moving Sect's Wushou Saint Lord, though a disciple of Heaven and Earth, possesses extraordinary talent, but lacks the tempering of time, and is certainly no match for his own Saint Lord.

They were just worried that the two of them were too engrossed in their ritual and would miss the appointed time for the grand ceremony.

As the group grew worried, muffled thuds echoed continuously from the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Against this backdrop, Dao Yi and the others set up the altar for the grand sacrificial ceremony between heaven and earth.

The noise from the back mountain only gradually subsided after a short while, as the grand sacrificial ceremony approached.

The twelve Supreme Elders of the Primordial Holy Sect and the guests from the nineteen sects gathered in the center of the Primordial Holy Sect's dojo, surrounding the altar with solemn and expectant expressions.

At the same time, two figures shattered the void and emerged from it one after the other, hovering above the dojo.

Dao Yi and the others straightened up, then bowed in unison and said:

"We pay our respects to the two Holy Rulers!"

Scholar Wu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn and dignified.

Upon hearing this, he gently waved his hand and replied:
"Excuse me!"

His words were flat and his emotions were unreadable, but if someone looked closely, they would notice a barely concealed smile in the corner of Wu Zhuangyuan's eyes.

Behind him, Li Wushou had somehow donned golden armor.

After Wu Zhuangyuan spoke, he stepped down from the void and stood in front of Dao Yi and the others with his back to them.

Because they were so close, Dao Yi and the others were immediately overwhelmed by the immense aura emanating from Li Wushou as soon as they looked up, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

As everyone gazed at Li Wushou's retreating figure, they felt as if the immense aura emanating from this Holy Lord of the Mountain Moving Sect was about to burst forth at any moment.

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any further.

Li Wushou stood there quietly, recalling the scene in the forbidden area just now, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

That "Aba, Aba" ultimately earned him a severe beating.

He wasn't deliberately provoking us; he was just repeating his old habits.

He felt confident in his abilities and wanted to test Wu Zhuangyuan's skills.

In this test, although he was no longer as helpless as before, he was still beaten to the ground by Wu Zhuangyuan.

The opponent not only mastered the Extreme Yang Pattern, but also mastered the other nine innate Dao Patterns that had evolved to near perfection.

"Power," "blood," "life," and so on, all enhanced the Extreme Yang Pattern, making Wu Zhuangyuan's power so strong that even Li Wushou found it unbelievable.

Li Wushou then realized that the Extreme Yang Pattern in Wu Zhuangyuan's hand was something he had comprehended by combining his own innate Dao Patterns with the Extreme Yang Pattern he had obtained from the Innate Tomb.

As for the Creation Dao Pattern obtained from the Primordial Tomb, Scholar Wu should have given it to Wu Qinghe in its entirety.

No wonder Li Wushou always had a vague feeling that although Wu Zhuangyuan's extreme Yang pattern was strong, it still hadn't reached its limit.

Because after his authentic spirit tablet was printed, it was still integrating his Taoist practices and slowly evolving.

He had originally thought that the Daoist techniques he had mastered were different from those of Wu Zhuangyuan, and that was why he was supplementing this Extreme Dao Yang Pattern. But now it seems that this is not the case.

So, was the reason why Wu Zhuangyuan cooperated with him to make the rubbing for more than three days? Was it because of the Creation Dao Pattern controlled by Wu Qinghe?

In that instant, Li Wushou seemed to understand the reason for Wu Zhuangyuan's resentment.

After donning the golden armor and enduring more than ten punches, Li Wushou seemed to have been beaten into submission and stopped "acting like a jerk".

Wu Zhuangyuan was able to vent his anger and felt much better.

With the grand ceremony approaching, the two stopped their sparring and left the forbidden area behind the mountain.

In mid-air, Scholar Wu stood suspended in mid-air. Looking at Li Wushou, who remained silent and whose face was covered by golden armor, Scholar Wu was overjoyed.

He had been looking forward to this beating for a long time!
Although Li Wushou's strength far exceeded his expectations, it made him hammer even more freely. Later, after Li Wushou put on that strange golden armor, he subtly used ninety percent of his strength.

Since attaining enlightenment, Wu Zhuangyuan has not used his full strength for a long time.

As for beasts like Wan Shou, it's no exaggeration to say that if he wanted to, he could crush them to death.

But Li Wushou's physical body has such strong recovery and endurance that it's unheard of.

At first he held back a bit, but in the end he started to disregard everything.

Despite enduring a brutal beating, Li Wushou remained energetic and vigorous.

They're practically natural punching bags!
If he had known Li Wushou was so resilient, he would have gone all out long ago and wouldn't have had to put up with so much suffering.

What pleased him even more was that his daughter seemed to accept it and did not stop him.

Otherwise, although he would not be affected, the Extreme Yang Pattern, which originated from the Creation Dao Pattern, would inevitably resonate with him, just as it did when Li Wushou comprehended the Dao.

Nothing could be more joyful than this.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he would have burst into laughter long ago.

Even now, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Looking around at everyone, Scholar Wu announced softly:

"The auspicious time is approaching. I will represent the Primordial Holy Sect to preside over this grand ceremony of Heaven and Earth. After the ceremony, the Primordial Tomb will be opened simultaneously. I ask for your assistance."

Upon hearing this, Dao Yi and the others bowed slightly, and even Mu Feng and the others bowed solemnly.

The grand sacrificial ceremony of Heaven and Earth presided over by the Great Accomplished Holy Body is extraordinary.

Many previously unseen resources will also appear within the Primordial Tomb.

This is not an isolated incident, as the crowd responded loudly:

"We, the nineteen sects, will fully cooperate with the Holy Lord!"

Upon seeing this, Scholar Wu praised:

"good!"

Stepping down from the void, he stood before the altar, and a golden light from his fingertip fell into the altar built by Dao Yi and the others.

The altar was nine zhang high, and the inscriptions lit up one by one the moment the golden light fell into Wu Zhuangyuan's hands.

Then the entire square altar suddenly split into four, transforming into four pillars engraved with dragon patterns.

The dragon-patterned pillars connect to the sacred mountain below and reach the blue sky above.

In the very center of the four dragon-patterned pillars, a golden incense burner floats.

The incense burner exists between reality and illusion, like a dream.

But the moment the four dragon-patterned pillars stood apart, a rich aroma of incense filled the Daoist temple of the Innate Holy Sect.

Wu Zhuangyuan looked up at the sky, as if waiting for the right time.

A moment later, a drop of blood containing the aura of nine innate Dao patterns dripped from his fingertips and hovered in front of him.

At the same time, without Wu Zhuangyuan's instruction, the Supreme Elders of the Innate Holy Sect and the Nineteen Sects present also squeezed out a stream of blood, which also contained their own Dao patterns.

But Li Wushou, standing in front of the crowd, stared at the altar, seemingly lost in thought.

A reminder suddenly came to my mind:
"Just follow along!"
Li Wushou composed himself and subconsciously extracted a drop of blood.

Like Wu Zhuangyuan, he did not fully reveal all of his Daoist aura.

Wu Zhuangyuan did not integrate the Extreme Yang Pattern, nor did Li Wushou integrate the aura beyond the nine innate Dao Patterns.

Scholar Wu, however, did not take it to heart.

He nodded slightly and shouted in a loud voice:
"With the Dao patterns as our vows and flesh and blood as our incense, we offer our bloodline as a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth!"

The voice was solemn and majestic, reaching even the heavens.

Before everyone, drops of blood containing Daoist energy transformed into sticks of incense, which fell into the incense burner in the center of the four dragon-patterned pillars.

The celestial phenomena change in an instant, as if heaven and earth are responding to each other.

Li Wushou stared at the incense burning in the center of the dragon-patterned pillar, his sense of unease growing even stronger.

He felt like he'd seen this scene somewhere before!
