My Fairy Raising Game

At this moment, Baiyun Sou continued:

"Besides these two conditions, there is actually another situation. During the upcoming ceremony, in the phase of worshipping the ancestral master, as long as one gains the ancestral master's approval, one can also become a true disciple of this sect."

Did he gain the approval of the patriarch?

Apart from a few people who knew the truth, most people were confused and uncertain, not understanding what it meant.

Patriarch...

In this context, the only person whom Baiyunsou would refer to as the patriarch is the one who founded the Jade Toad Palace in ancient times, not any other patriarch from later generations.

But didn't this founder of the sect already ascend to immortality and reach the celestial realm?

"alright!"

Baiyun Sou showed no intention of explaining. He looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice:

"The auspicious hour has arrived! I hereby declare... the Dragon Gate Ceremony officially begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a bronze bell hanging on the roots of a tall, thousand-foot-high tree atop Jade Osmanthus Mountain, with a trunk as thick as a black dragon, branches as slender and graceful, and leaves as thin as cicada wings, emitted a distant and magnificent chime.

clang!clang!clang!

clang!clang!clang!

The bell tolled through the sky, seemingly containing some strange power. To the listeners, it cleared their minds, purified their spirits, and banished all distracting thoughts, as if they had undergone some kind of baptism.

After the bell rang, the old man Baiyun turned and bowed deeply towards the summit of Yugui Mountain:

"Disciple Baiyunsou respectfully requests the ancestral master's precious treasure!"

Seeing this, all the elders, deacons, and disciples present followed suit and respectfully bowed.

"This disciple respectfully requests the ancestral master's most precious treasure!"

"allow--"

A moment later, a clear and melodious sound, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, came from the top of Yugui Mountain, spreading throughout the entire inner and outer gates.

Shen Yu, standing in the square, could tell that the voice belonged to Lin Xianjun, the deputy sect leader.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a soft and bright moonlight descend from the sky, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Even with the sun high in the sky, it cannot rival its brilliance.

The moonlight fell and landed on the high platform, transforming into a huge gate.

The light faded, revealing its true form.

The gate was entirely white jade, several tens of feet tall, and was engraved with lifelike patterns of laurel, jade rabbit, and jade toad, as well as some mysterious silver patterns that shimmered with spiritual light, seemingly containing unfathomable divine power, making people feel suffocated and terrified!

As soon as it landed, it emitted a misty aura, connecting with the earth's veins for thousands of miles around, giving it a feeling of being rooted to the ground and unshakable.

Before this enormous gate, everyone felt a sense of insignificance and humility, as if the gate was not an inanimate object, but a noble and ancient being that possessed wisdom, breathed in and out the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and had survived from ancient times to the present!

"What a terrifying treasure!"

Shen Yu's expression was solemn and serious.

At this moment, he felt immense pressure, an unbearable pressure, like a bottomless abyss, like a mountain pressing down on him, leaving him powerless to resist!

Even though he has now made some progress in his cultivation and mastered two high-grade divine abilities, it is still the same.

"This is the Jade Cinnamon Dragon Gate, a precious treasure refined by our ancestor based on the ancient Dragon Gate, the clan's guardian spirit treasure of the East Sea Dragon Clan!"

Baiyun Sou began to explain: "This treasure possesses many mysteries, such as attack, defense, suppression, and connection to the earth's veins. It also contains a wisp of the ancestor's divine will."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood what Baiyun Sou meant by "gaining the patriarch's recognition" earlier.

The Jade Osmanthus Dragon Gate is a precious treasure personally crafted by the patriarch, containing a wisp of his divine will. Therefore, to everyone, it is not much different from having the patriarch face to face.

As long as one gains the recognition of this Jade Dragon Gate, one will have the opportunity to be promoted to a true disciple.

"Now, all disciples, follow me in paying homage to our ancestral master!"

Next, as the disciples cleared the area, led by Baiyun Sou and assisted by the other elders and deacons, all the disciples lined up on both sides and began to burn incense to pay homage to the founding patriarch and all previous patriarchs of the sect.

Afterwards, they jointly offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, proclaiming to Heaven and Earth that the Jade Toad Palace was inaugurating its ceremony to accept disciples and continue the lineage of the Dharma.

Among the crowd, Shen Yu stood solemnly, meticulously following along and imitating the others.

After a complicated process, the other law enforcement disciples returned to their original positions, and the various elders and deacons performed their duties, guarding the surrounding area.

Baiyunsou said in a deep voice:

"Now, you twenty-four people will line up as a group and walk through the Dragon Gate, signifying leaping over the Dragon Gate. Those who are favored by the Patriarch and trigger extraordinary phenomena will be allowed to enter the inner sect."

"Those who can gain the patriarch's approval can be considered true inheritors!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt excited and thrilled, thinking to themselves that it was finally about to begin.

Next, under the organization of the disciples on the square, the participants in the ceremony began to line up in groups and cross the Jade Dragon Gate.

Soon, a group of twenty-four people arrived at the Jade Osmanthus Dragon Gate. Under the guidance of the White Cloud Elder, they bowed and stepped through the Jade Osmanthus Dragon Gate.

buzzing-

The next moment, the Jade Dragon Gate trembled slightly, emitting a mysterious celestial sound, which was mixed with a high-pitched and majestic dragon roar.

A soft, gentle moonlight shone down, enveloping the twenty-four people below.

The light was pure and gentle, penetrating everywhere and easily seeping into the bodies of these people.

Upon seeing this, these people initially looked surprised, but their expressions quickly changed to a mixture of surprise and delight.

Those who had achieved a certain level of cultivation felt their true energy circulating faster, and under the cleansing of this moonlight power, it became noticeably purer.

Even ordinary people with no cultivation level felt refreshed and energetic, as if they had taken an upgraded version of a tonic pill.

This is naturally a gift from the Jade Dragon Gate; anyone who can leap over the Dragon Gate, regardless of the outcome, will always receive a gift.

This is also why some disciples, even knowing they have no chance of becoming inner disciples, still participate in the Dragon Gate Ceremony.

At the same time, this gift is also a form of exploration.

Because these disciples who crossed the Dragon Gate had varying degrees of moonlight aura on their bodies.

Those who are indifferent are those with ordinary talents and are unremarkable.

Those with rich inner qualities are actually quite gifted.

On both sides, some disciples were recording the behavior of these people.

Those who had not yet crossed the dragon gate had burning eyes and expectant expressions, but at the same time, they were somewhat uneasy, wondering how they would perform next.

"This Jade Osmanthus Dragon Gate is a precious treasure refined by the founding patriarch of the sect, and it is among the most renowned in the entire world. Leaving aside its power, its ability to detect talent alone is probably unmatched."

Shen Yu gazed at the Jade Dragon Gate, a thought flashing through his mind:

"My talent has undergone several transformations and has been completely reborn, now possessing a pale golden talent. It has now surpassed Yuan Xuejiao's Bright Jade Spirit Body and Qi Miaolian's White Lotus Pure Body. Even Ye Changming's Green Wood Spirit Body and Sun Yao's Moon Spirit Body probably won't surpass me."
