Chapter 848: Chapter 415: Master Acceptance Ceremony

The Master Acceptance Ceremony that rocked the entire Green Flame Palace proceeded with fervor.

Elderly Saints and Saint Venerate Realm powerhouses, who used to be elusive as divine dragons, now appeared one after another, as if they were of little value.

Indeed, those who attended this Master Acceptance Ceremony were at least of the Entering Saint Realm cultivation level.

The younger generation could only attend under the sponsorship of their respective mentors.

This also meant that all the younger generations present were Heavenly Prides; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to be disciples of Saints or Saintly beings of the Saint Venerate Realm.

With Heavenly Prides gathered and powerful figures gracing the event, the ceremony’s prestige was elevated to its utmost.

From another perspective, this Master Acceptance Ceremony was also an event that the Tai Yuan meridian had rarely seen in hundreds of years.

The Master Acceptance Ceremony was personally organized by the Heng Chong Dominator, taking place in the square in front of the Tai Yuan Grand Hall; early in the morning, Xia Huowang arrived at the square filled with anticipation, accompanied by the Senior Brothers he had just met.

After breaking through to the Unity Realm, he was accepted by his master as an Official Disciple.

As a Heavenly Pride who had once reached the Tai Yuan meridian’s list of geniuses, he naturally became a disciple of a World Master; the three Senior Brothers who came with him, the weakest of whom was at the True Spirit Realm.

The other two were Saints of the first level of the Entering Saint Realm, each qualified to start their own lineage.

They had been deliberately holding back from opening their meridians, vying for a spot among the True Inheritance Disciples.

Unfortunately, to become a True Inheritance Disciple, mere realm alone was not enough; one also needed the strength to prevail over higher-ranked opponents.

By this time, the vicinity of the square was already crowded with disciples and powerhouses who had come to watch the ceremony.

When the time was almost right, the Heng Chong Dominator slowly emerged from the Tai Yuan Hall at a leisurely pace, followed by a large group of True Spirit Realm and Entering Saint Realm Elders.

After giving his orders, these Elders began to arrange for Stewards and their subordinates to set up the scene.

Before long, the setup was complete, and at the forefront of the Tai Yuan Grand Hall, many splendid and imposing Great Master chairs were arranged.

Everyone noticed that the arrangement of these Great Master chairs had distinct differences.

On each end of the setup were a total of thirty-six Great Master chairs in a row, eighteen red ones on each side;

And in the center, were five eye-catching purple-gold Great Master chairs lined up side by side.

The many disciples in attendance immediately began discussing, and amidst Xia Huowang’s curiosity, people were already speculating about the mystery of the chairs’ arrangement.

“It’s worthy of Yuan Guang Immortal’s disciple-accepting event; there are actually four Immortals attending at once.”

“Indeed, they’re currently engaged in a battle with the True Word Temple, and several Immortals aren’t in the palace.”

“It’s Yuan Guang Immortal’s first time accepting disciples. If it weren’t for this special time period, perhaps all Immortals would have been present.”

“Nevertheless, in all my years of cultivation, I’ve never seen such a grand Master Acceptance Ceremony, not even when the vein leader accepted disciples; it’s almost as grand as when a World Master Realm powerhouse takes on disciples.”

“Of course, it’s different. The first-disciple is equivalent to the founding senior disciple, so naturally, it has to be more grandiose.”

…

Listening to these discussions, Xia Huowang understood the significance of the ceremony’s grandeur and what the Great Master chairs symbolized.

The red Great Master chairs on the left and right sides indicated that thirty-six World Master Realm powerhouses would be attending, from the initial, Heaven and Earth, and primal level World Masters, without distinction of rank.

The five purple-gold Great Master chairs in the center signaled that there would be five Immortal Realm powerhouses attending.

It was certain that one of them was Yuan Guang Immortal.

It was just unknown who the other four Immortals would be.

Just then, the Elder of the Saint Realm in charge of reception, as if suddenly receiving an order, called out loudly, “The Master Acceptance Ceremony is about to begin, let everyone be quiet!”

Xia Huowang turned to one of his Senior Brothers and asked, “Brother Chen, this ceremony is different from the one I had when I took on a master; what usually starts such an event?”

Brother Chen replied in a low voice, “Your ceremony was more informal; your master would start it by just saying so. But Lu Yun’s ceremony is a great event that the Tai Yuan meridian, and even the Green Flame Palace, rarely witnesses in a century. It’s more formal and grand and has to follow a procedure.

According to the formal procedure, the ceremony has already started the moment someone entered the square.”

Xia Huowang’s gaze swept across the chairs above and asked curiously, “If an Immortal or a World Master is absent, will it affect the Master Acceptance Ceremony?”

Brother Chen rolled his eyes at his junior brother’s question and said irritably, “For such an eminent ceremony, invitations are sent out well in advance, and there have been multiple confirmations; there won’t be any no-shows.”

No sooner had his voice fallen than the receptionist Elder of the Saint Realm shouted, “World Master Lan Wu of the Tai Yuan meridian has arrived!”

As the announcement finished, a burly middle-aged man suddenly pushed through the crowd watching from below, and upon seeing the Heng Chong Dominator presiding over the ceremony outside the Grand Hall, he laughed loudly, “Hahaha, Elder Brother Heng Chong, you have worked hard!”

The presiding Heng Chong Dominator nodded to him and smile, “Junior Brother Lan Wu, you’re quite early. Please take your seat quickly.”

Each chair at the entrance of the Grand Hall was marked in advance, not to be occupied arbitrarily.

World Master Lan Wu glanced at the red Great Master chairs on the outside, then quickly found his position, flashed over, and sat down, closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

After a moment, the receptionist Elder of the Entering Saint Realm called out again, “World Master Fuchen of the Tongtian meridian has arrived!”

The resounding call had just ended, and a bundle of Green Light descended from the sky, after which a middle-aged man dressed in a green Taoist robe landed in front of the Grand Hall.
