Ch257 - Rituals

Helian Tianwen also showed admiration toward Liu Mufeng’s knowledge. “Senior Brother Liu is really amazing. He even knows the characters of the Tianyan Clan. You are truly worthy of a cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent.”

“Junior Brother Helian is overpraising me.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng still had a humble look on his face.

“Tch, who knows if he really can read these characters? Maybe he’s just talking nonsense to fool people?” Yang Fang said with contempt.

“You guys believe him even when he talks nonsense, you are so easy to deceive.” Looking at Brother Helian, Yang Yu said with sympathy.

“Why does it matter to you whether my partner knows the characters of the Tianyan Clan or not? Who are you to judge?” Looking at the two Sisters, Jiang Xu said unhappily.

“You, what did you say?” The Sisters of the Yang family were very upset at being scolded by Jiang Xu like this.

“Forget itXiaoXu, just two Juniors in the Spiritual King Realm. Don’t worry about them.” He really didn’t know if the Sisters of the Yang family had brain problems. Did him knowing the characters of the Tianyan Clan have anything to do with them?

“You, you…” Looking at Liu Mufeng who was unwilling to talk to them, the Sisters of the Yang family felt that they were being ignored.

“Ah, I apologize to the four Fellow Daoists. My two Younger Sisters haven’t been able to get in the inner city recently, so they are not in a good mood.” Walking over, Yang Ming hastily apologized.

“I say Yang Ming, Senior Brother Jiang’s temper is not very good, you better keep an eye on the two stupid girls in your family.” Seeing Yang Ming, Helian Tianwen said unhappily.

“Yes yes yes, I will.” Nodding, Yang Ming replied hastily.

“Helian Tianwen, what are you talking about?” At Helian Tianwen’s words, Yang Fang’s entire face turned dark with anger.

“Don’t you understand what I said? You are a Spiritual King Realm cultivator, what are you doing next to us four Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivators? This is not your Yang family, nor your Hai City. Please, you better get your identity clear. Don’t act as a Miss of the City Lord’s Mansion here. Who didn’t come from the City Lord’s Mansion? Do you think you are special?” Helian Tianwen bluntly told the two people.

He really didn’t know what these two brainless women were thinking, they came here to accuse a cultivator of the Spiritual Emperor Realm, really don’t know where they got the courage.

“Helian Tianwen, you, you are courting death.” Saying that, the Sisters of the Yang family were about to make a move.

“Okay, go back and sit down.” Looking at his two Sisters, Yang Ming frowned impatiently. He couldn’t help but think:These two troublemakers will die in the secret realm sooner or later.

“En, it seems that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu are our strong enemies.”

“W ITLiB dILd nQU vUSTJN sQYYTB gfdI wLQ jQfJN, dIT SfiPTi nfiB fS KUf VQdp, LJB KUL VITJN, dIT nfiB fS jQLJNIT EfmJ.”

“Ah? He killed Bai Xiong? Really?”

“It should be true. Didn’t Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu incur the enmity of the Bai family and Hua family previously?”

“That’s true. The Bai family had offered rewards for Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu for more than sixty years. Later, when they heard that the two had gone to the Zunhuang Continent, they revoked the reward.”

“Yes, there was indeed such a thing.”

Looking at his two stupid Younger Sisters, Yang Ming felt very helpless. “Liu Mufeng is an eighth-star in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, and Jiang Xu is nine stars in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Even I am no match for them. Why do you bother to provoke them?”

“I, I didn’t want to provoke him for real? I just saw a lot of ghost symbols on these gates, so I wanted to try to see if Liu Mufeng really knew the characters of the Tianyan Clan. If he did, we could ask him to translate the words on the gate, that way, we don’t have to wait here all this time.” Speaking of this, Yang Fang was very depressed.

“That’s right, Sister and I just wanted to test him out. It’s just a way of testing him. I didn’t expect Jiang Xu and Helian Tianwen to turn against us so soon.” Yang Yu was also very helpless.

Yang Ming rolled his eyes at the explanation. “If the texts on this door were very important, do you think Liu Mufeng would translate them for free for you two strangers? And to test him? It’s already lucky that he didn’t slap you guys to death!”

“He, he dares, we, we are the Daughters of the City Lord of Hai City.”

“Could it be that Bai Feifei was not the Daughter of the Lord of Huo City back then? Back then, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu killed Bai Feifei when they were only at the Spiritual King Realm. Now they are already in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, do you think they dare not kill you both?” Yang Ming sneered trying to put sense into his Sisters.

Finally, the two Sisters couldn’t help shrinking their necks, and they finally became a little scared.

“Wait patiently, don’t run off to offend others, I only have the strength of a five-star Spiritual Emperor Realm, if you offend other Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivators, I may not be able to save you.” Yang Ming warned the two people coldly.

“Oh, we understand.” Nodding sullenly, the two Sisters expressed their agreement.

Arriving at a secluded place, Liu Mufeng released the cave, and set up a barrier outside the cave.

“Senior Brother Liu, is there anything you want to tell us?” Helian Tianwen asked curiously.

“I have read a lot of history books. Not only do I understand the characters of the Tianyan Clan, I also know some of their cultural and historical background. I know that the Tianyan Clan has a kind of ritual held once a hundred years, and this kind of ritual can get the blessing of the ancestors. However, the number of people in the ritual cannot be less than four. So, if the two Daoists are willing, we can hold the ritual together.” Looking at the two, Liu Mufeng explained the reason.

“Rituals? How do you hold them?” Helian Tianwen asked in a dumb manner.

“You don’t have to worry about this, Junior Brother Helian. I know how to hold the ritual. The question now is whether you want to join us?” Liu Mufeng asked again.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, if our ritual is successful, we will be blessed, but if we fail, will there be any danger?” Helian Tianqi asked his doubts.

“No, even if the ritual fails, there will be no danger or any loss.” Liu Mufeng was very sure of this.

“Senior Brother Liu, what is that blessing? What effect does it have?” Helian Tianwen was very curious about this.

“This blessing is a kind of gift from the sages of the Tianyan Clan. The cultivators of the Tianyan Clan were born with a Heavenly Eye on their foreheads. This Heavenly Eye could understand the laws of the world and understand the aura of the world. If you could get the most sincere blessing from your ancestors, it can influence one’s fortune to a certain extent. You also know that cultivators compete with the heavens, and luck is very important. If we are blessed, then our future road will be smoother. There is another advantage, that after receiving the blessing, after we enter the inner city of the Tianyan Clan, we will also receive the blessings of those sages of the Tianyan Clan.” Liu Mufeng explained the background to the two people.

Hearing this, Brother Helian’s eyes lit up. “Senior Brother Liu, this blessing is so powerful.”

“Of course, this can be considered an opportunity as well.” Liu Mufeng smiled.

“No, this is much more heaven-defying than ordinary opportunity.” Which heaven-defying opportunity could change a person’s luck.

“Then, what do the two Fellow Daoists decide?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“Senior Brother Liu, I am willing to join.” Nodding, Helian Tianwen immediately expressed his willingness to join.

“I’m also willing to join, but I’m worried, if we hold the ritual, will other cultivators follow us? Will we work hard and make wedding dresses for others for nothing?” Helian Tianqi spoke out his worries.

“Don’t worry, the ritual can only be held once in a hundred years. Once we succeed, it will be impossible for others to follow suit.” Liu Mufeng had already thought of this.

“But Mufeng, what if someone comes with us when we hold the ritual? What should we do then?” Jiang Xu didn’t want others to share his benefits.

“Don’t worry, the reason why we need four people is because we are going to hold the ritual according to the four-way alignment. The so-called four-way alignment is to tell the sages that the four of us need to receive their blessings, so if there really is a blessing, it will only be bestowed on the four of us, and it is impossible to bestow it on anyone else.” Liu Mufeng had already thought about this matter.

“En, that’s good.” Jiang Xu felt relieved after his lover’s explanation.

“Senior Brother Liu, then when are we going to hold the ritual?” Helian Tianwen asked earnestly.

“Yes, do we have to prepare a lot of things?” Helian Tianqi also asked.

“According to the customs of the Tianyan Clan, the ritual must be on the night of the full moon. Today is the tenth day of the lunar cycle, and we have five days before the fifteenth day of this month. I will tell you what needs to be prepared in a while, and we will split up and prepare. In addition, you need to recite a hymn/chant of the Tianyan Clan, I will write it down for you on animal skins, and then you can recite it accordingly.” Liu Mufeng explained the process.

“Ah? Do we also need to learn the characters of the Tianyan Clan? Well, I, can I do it? I…” Helian Tianwen asked worriedly.

“Yeah, Mufeng, I’m afraid I can’t do it either.” Frowning, Jiang Xu felt that he couldn’t learn it, let alone five days, and he might not be able to learn well in five years.

“Don’t worry, I will write a translation for you in the human language. You can read it in the human language. I will write it out for you in a moment, you read it a few more times, just read it fluently, if five days is not enough time, we can go to the ritual next full moon night. You don’t have to worry too much.” Liu Mufeng assured them.

“The sooner the better, it won’t be good if someone gets there first.” Frowning, Helian Tianqi felt that it’s best not to procrastinate on this matter, so as to avoid any troubles due to long delays.

“En, what Junior Brother Helian said makes sense.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed. Although Mufeng was amazingly knowledgeable about the language and customs of the Tianyan clan. However, he couldn’t guarantee that no one else would also know about it, so it was better to hold the ritual as soon as possible to avoid any troubles.
