Translator: 549690339
When all the names on the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet were revealed, a sudden burst of golden light enveloped the scene, forcing even Han Yi to close his eyes to avoid its sharp glare.
When he opened his eyes again, the golden stele was no longer extraordinary, standing unremarkably in the center of the square, but the Master List and the Qianlong List on it had not changed.
The Qianlong List part of this ranking would change every ten years, but there would be no more Heavenly Mechanism Ceremony.
However, after a hundred years, when the millennial Monarch List would be revealed, an even grander ceremony would be held. The Pavilion Lord of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the Heavenly Mechanism True Monarch, would make an appearance, and instead of Gold Core Masters from various sects attending, there would be Monarch cultivators.
Being able to appear on the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet did not only represent fame but also power and influence, as well as the right to distribute resources. Han Yi didn’t know what constituted this allocation, but he had heard Liu Ruyan mention it before.
It was just that this time, as the matter concerned Xuandan Sect’s influence, he could not refuse the request to attend the ceremony.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t care about these hollow reputations.
The scene:
As the golden light dissipated, the Gold Core cultivators of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion stood in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet, scanning the audience. The seats nearest the Tablet were those invited by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, while the peripheral seats were occupied by cultivators who attended the ceremony on their own, including cultivators from great Daqian families, loose cultivators, and some sects that did not receive an invitation.
However, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion welcomed all cultivators who had come to the Star River Garden.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Heavenly Mechanism Rankings for this year have been unveiled.”
“Next is the Heavenly Mechanism Demonstration segment.”
“This time, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has prepared many spiritual items. Anyone who takes the stage and wins a fight will receive a spiritual item, distributed by the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet. Even I don’t know what they are.”
“But the Pavilion Lord mentioned that he has placed seven treasures among them.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, opportunities like this are rare. Please seize them.”
The Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion flew to the edge of the Star River Square and took a seat in the Pavilion’s section.
The entire Star River Square suddenly fell silent.
The next moment, a figure flashed and landed in the middle of the Star River Square, standing next to the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet.
“I am Han Tianci from the Fiery Fire Han Family. 1 ask for guidance from everyone here.”
This cultivator held a black spear in his hand, the cold glint on the spear flickering as he stood with an air of unyielding pride.
Han Yi looked at this cultivator, who had the same Han surname as him, and could not help nodding.
In Qian Du, there are a total of thirty-four Han surname immortal cultivation families. The Fiery Fire Han family is a Gold Core level immortal cultivation family, with its influence mainly in the Fiery Fire Square, and called themselves Fiery Fire Han.
As for the Han Tianci who stood on the stage, although his aura was only at Foundation Building Middle Level, his foundation was solid, his aura stable, and his strength not weak.
After all, they were from the same family, Han Yi was somewhat curious and paid attention to the situation on the stage.
In less than the time it takes to draw three breaths,
Another cultivator calmly walked up; this was a cultivator moving from the rear of the seats of the Nascent Soul Great Sect.
Star Moon Sect.
Han Yi looked at the seat of the Star River Sect and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Star Moon Sect was also a Nascent Soul Sect.
Among the eight Nascent Soul Great Sects in Daqian other than the One Country, Two Sages, and Three Great Sects, there are:
Jade Tripod Sect, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Spirit Combat Sect, Heavenly Will Sect, White Jade Tower, Star Moon Sect, Wanfa Sect, and Xuandan Sect.
Among them, a ranking exists, with Jade Tripod Sect being first and Xuandan Sect being the newly promoted Nascent Soul Sect, naturally being last.
Among these, Jade Tripod, Heavenly Mechanism, Spirit Combat, Star Moon, and White Jade Sects were in Qianzhou, while Heavenly Will, Wanfa, and Xuandan Sects were in Shu State.
The cultivator who emerged was a member of the Star Moon Sect.
“Star Moon Sect, Luo Mao, I seek guidance from you.”
“Please.”
Han Tianci saluted with a cupped fist. Then, there was a sudden burst of light in his eyes. The long spear was already out of his hand. With a gentle shake, it transformed into a ten-meter-long spear that hovered in the air, as if it was a colossal dragon being held by the tail and thrown down with force.
Bang!
As the explosion sounded and the air shattered, the giant spear struck an afterimage, and thirty meters away, Luo Mao of Star Moon Sect appeared, pointing lightly. A starlight was drawn down and landed in his hand. With a compass in his hand, the starlight fell into the center, sparking a brilliant and strange star map.
With a shake of the star map, it rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it engulfed the two of them.
Just as Han Tianci retracted his long spear weapon, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and dread flashed in his eyes.
Tens of meters away, Luo Mao calmly extended a palm, his arm disappearing halfway. Yet before Han Tianci, amidst the starlight, half an arm appeared and lightly struck him, sending him flying.
Pu chi!
Han Tianci was sent flying tens of meters away, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood. With a horrified expression, he struggled to get up, bowed without a word, and quickly retreated.
He knew that his opponent had shown mercy.
During the Heavenly Mechanism Demonstration, there was no rule against killing. Cultivators naturally competed for a place in the Immortal Path, so even during the cultivation process, there were tribulations and Heavenly Demons descending. If a cultivator reached above the Nascent Soul realm, even Heavenly Tribulation would block their path.
In a fight, it was inevitable that a cultivator couldn’t restrain their strength and killed their opponent. Therefore, even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had not established a naive rule against killing during the Heavenly Mechanism Demonstration.
However,
Cultivators valued karma, especially higher realm cultivators. When they killed someone, they would naturally bear the corresponding karma.
On the scene:
As Han Tianci admitted defeat and retreated, a magical item flew out from the Heavenly Mechanism Tablet as if there was another universe inside, and even with Han Yi’s divine consciousness, he couldn’t detect how the magical item appeared..
