Chapter 123 long overdue
The adult ceremony is held on the royal ritual platform. It is a fiery red platform, specially built for large-scale ceremonies or rituals. The platform is nearly one mile and is paved with fire cloud crystals. The fire fighting power is very strong. Any warrior who practices the fire fighting power will increase the speed of combat power flow a lot.
Therefore, when this ritual platform is not used, it is used as a practice for the palace guards, which has greatly enhanced the power of the royal family.
At the top of the ritual platform, Zhu Yan, as the emperor of the Tianhuo Empire, was the center. Beside him, Wang Xu closed his eyes and remained silent. Except for the Shenmu Sect, the representatives of the other sects were sitting in the row one by one, each with solemn expressions and a very quiet atmosphere.
The strong men in the worship hall sat in the next seat, and everyone's eyes were very hot. Many of them saw the strong men in the Tiansheng Palace for the first time, and the excitement was naturally difficult to suppress. Especially for several strong men who reached the level of the Killing King, they were very eager to get Wang Xu's guidance. In that case, it would be much easier for them to reach the realm of the War Emperor.
At the same time, the royal family members were all members, and the princes and princes sat in a row. In this atmosphere, they all became very regular and seemed to be so generous that they didn't dare to speak out.
The Fire God Army stood at the outermost periphery of the ceremony platform, opened a huge barrier, and wrapped the entire ceremony platform. The five major sects and civil and military officials were outside the ceremony platform, and they were very nervously paying attention to the situation on the ceremony platform.
The royal family's coming-of-age ceremony has been the most grand this time, and of course, it is also the most coincidental.
The envoy from Tiansheng Palace personally participated, and the five major sects arrived. It was also the day when the prince of the Shenmu Empire and the princess of the Tianhuo Empire was engaged, which made this day emit a different light in the history of the Tianhuo Empire.
Zhu Yan's face was a little bad. The coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin. There was no news about the prince of the Shenmu Empire and the Shenmu Sect. If the engagement was misled, the Tianhuo Empire would be really disappointed!
Hu Mo stood beside Hu Yihu, his expression was also very serious. The formation in front of him was not simple. The entire Continent of War was staring at this place. As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, Hu Mo secretly thought about how much things would change if he rushed over.
The music sounded, and on the path leading to the inner palace, Zhu Xinyue was dressed in red, and her expression was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Her face was much rosy than before, which made Zhu Silla not far away frown, and a faint uneasiness rose from her heart.
Although she finally said that to Zhu Xinyue last time, she hoped that Zhu Xinyue could marry into the Shenmu Empire from the bottom of her heart. This was a very critical step in all her plans. Because of this, she was very nervous, afraid that something would happen.
"The auspicious time has come, and the coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun--" The ritual officer immediately shouted loudly when he saw Zhu Xinyue standing still.
Zhu Yan frowned slightly, and he thought to himself: "What the hell is going on? Did something happen?"
On the ritual platform, many ritual officials are busy. The Tianhuo Empire emphasizes the most adult etiquette, especially the royal etiquette. To some extent, its level even exceeds the level of the wedding ceremony. The Tianhuo Empire is located in the south, closest to those war beasts, and often endures the attacks of war beasts, which gives the people of the Tianhuo Empire a strong spirit of resistance in their bones. Adult means having enough strength to fight, which has become the biggest custom of the Tianhuo Empire.
The ordinary coming-of-age ceremony is just praying to heaven, taking a clone of the holy fire, and integrating it into the eyebrows. Hu Mo completed the coming-of-age ceremony at home a month or two ago. Compared to the scale in front of him, it was simply in the sky and the earth and could not be compared.
Zhu Yan's face was very serious. He stood up and walked to the ceremonial platform himself. He was holding a red jade box in his hand, and there was a strong fluctuation of combat power. It was the holy fire spirit used in the royal family's adult ceremony. According to the royal family's rules, the holy fire spirit must be given by the emperor himself, which is the first step to completing the adult ceremony.
Zhu Yan walked forward step by step. When he reached a place less than ten meters away from Zhu Xinyue, the originally blue cloudless sky was suddenly filled with strong green light. In a moment, all the plants in the Flame City thrived, and billions of butterflies flew out of the city, and flowers were rushing to bloom, as if they were all taking stimulants.
On the highest seat, Wang Xu's eyes suddenly opened, he looked into the distance with a smile, and said lightly: "Stupid boy, he's finally here."
Countless black dots soon appeared in the distant sky. Like other sects, the trip to the Shenmu Sect was carried by flying war beasts.
The sixth-level battle beast Qingmu Eagle roared over the sky, and the fire-attributed warriors all had an extremely comfortable feeling.
The Aoki Eagle stopped outside the barrier and slowly landed on the ground. On the largest Aoki Eagle, two figures slowly landed, one old and one young, exuded a very gentle aura. The wood-attribute combat power is generally very friendly, so wood-attribute warriors generally like to get close to each other.
Hu Mo looked at the old and young people passing by him. To be honest, he was really surprised! The old man's strength can only be described as unfathomable. Wang Xu of Tiansheng Palace could not match him in terms of momentum. What surprised him was that the young man around the old man was not old and was almost as good as himself in terms of cultivation.
Hu Mo knew very well that his cultivation level was improved very quickly because of the three treasures. The acceleration of the three treasures increased his cultivation speed by three or four times, so he could become the Level 6 War King in such a short time. However, he knew in his heart that although his combat power had reached the Level 6 War King, his soul power was only barely reaching the Level 1 War King, which made it very difficult for him to improve his current cultivation level.
However, the young man was different. Although his combat power was several levels weaker than his, his soul power was even higher than that of himself, which made him frown and his heart's pressure doubled.
"Is he the so-called prince? It's indeed extraordinary!" Hu Mo sighed in his heart, his eyes always locked in the young man.
The young man walked and smiled and signaled around. Suddenly, his eyes met Hu Mo. In an instant, Hu Mo felt a strong soul impact force coming from the direction of the young man. Hu Mo's face changed, he snorted coldly, and the Lingbo Technique quickly started to operate. His soul power immediately condensed and met the soul impact.
In just a moment, Hu Mo and the young man's mind roared at the same time. Hu Mo's face turned pale a little, and the young man's body also shook slightly, but he quickly recovered, smiled at Hu Mo and walked towards the ceremony.
Hu Mo's face was very gloomy. With the operation of the Three Treasures, his soul power that was chaotic quickly recovered. It was obvious that Hu Mo suffered a considerable loss in this collision.
"He is Duanmu Hong, the prince of the Shenmu Empire. Next to him is his grandfather, the Supreme Emperor of the Shenmu Empire, Duanmu Shenxu, the leader of the Shenmu Empire, and the seventh-level war saint. His strength is in the top ten in the entire war continent. Mo'er, you should have touched Duanmu Hong's bottom just now, how sure are you?" Hu Yihu smiled and sent a voice, his words were very direct.
Hu Mo shook his head gently and said softly: "He is very strong, and he is one line higher than me in his realm."
"But," Hu Mo's face suddenly became a little domineering, and a strong fighting spirit also erupted from him, "I will definitely beat him!"
Hu Yihu smiled slightly and stopped talking. Duanmu Shenxu and Duanmu Hong have gradually gone away, and their steps are very low, light and natural.
"Sun son, how about that kid? Is what Ju Chunyang said true?" Duanmu Shenxu smiled on her face and said in a voice while walking.
"It's a bit different, but it's not much different. The gap between his cultivation and realm is a bit big. It's a bit strange to practice mentally but not keep up with the cultivation of combat power." Duanmu Hong's smile remained unchanged and he said in a voice.
"Haha, be careful, don't be careless. The fighting spirit emitted by that kid is not simple. Today's coming-of-age ceremony may not be so calm. Let's go quickly, your master and the others should be anxious to wait." Duanmu Shenxu's expression remained unchanged. After the voice transmission, he shouted loudly: "Sorry, everyone, I'm late, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Old man Duanmu, if you don't come, I won't let my grand niece marry your grandson, haha..." Zhu Wannian said with a smile, his voice rolling, shaking the earth a little trembling. In terms of seniority, he is Zhu Yan's uncle, so it makes sense to call Zhu Xinyue's niece.
Duanmu Shenxu smiled faintly, and a huge wood fighting force burst out from him, completely suppressing the sound.
Duanmu Hong's eyes fell on Zhu Xinyue, and his eyes lit up. He nodded at Zhu Xinyue with a very smile, but what was greeted was a roll of eyes with a strong attack power, which made Duanmu Hong stunned.
"Haha, Old Man Duanmu has improved a lot, and I'm afraid the ranking of the God List will change again. You can take your seat quickly. The arrival ceremony of the Crescent Little Girl must continue!" Zhu Wannian said with a smile. Duanmu Shenxu didn't say much, and walked up the ceremonial platform with Duanmu Hong.
Zhu Yan was so happy that a flower bloomed when he saw Duanmu Hong. Although he had a certain political purpose to marry his daughter to him this time, he was of course happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that his son-in-law was so outstanding.
Duanmu Hong was not happy now. When he saw Zhu Xinyue's first glance, his fighting spirit fluctuated. However, after being glared at by Zhu Xinyue, he immediately felt a sense of frustration in his heart. He clearly felt that he had lost to Hu Mo.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Fire Empire, I am late this time, mainly because of some delays. Today is the coming-of-age gift of the Little Princess Crescent, and it is also a good day for our marriage between the two countries of Wood and Fire. For today, I specially prepared a big gift to give it to the Little Princess Crescent." Duanmu Shenxu said with a smile, one hand was scattered in the air, and soon a crack in the space appeared beside him. He reached out and took out a jade box, which exuded a rich wood battle power.
Everyone's eyes were concentrated on the jade box, and even Hu Mo, outside the barrier, stared at the box tightly. He could feel that there was something in the box that made him feel moved.
Zhu Wannian took a deep breath and felt the wonderful aura. He pondered for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Is such a rich aroma of wood essence..."
