After Xi Yunting finished casting his spell, the entire venue fell silent, and it was at this time that Chen Xiao walked onto the stage.
Xi Yunting did not stop and withdrew from the center of sight from the side.
Being stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes in the venue, Chen Xiao was extremely nervous. He walked to his seat with his eyes downcast. When he turned around and spoke, his voice sounded a little hoarse due to the contraction of his vocal cords.
"Welcome everyone to attend the founding ceremony of Dongyu Sect." Miraculously, he was no longer nervous when he started talking. "Everyone present is a senior in the world of immortal cultivation. Dongyu Sect is still young. I hope to get help from many parties in the future so that we can cultivate on the smooth road together!"
After getting into the mood, Chen Xiao spoke fluently and expressed his sincere gratitude to the guests.
After the opening remarks, Chen Xiao began to recite aloud an ancient article that was beautiful and profound in both wording and sentence choice.
Chen Xiao wrote this ancient poetry after he knew about this incident.
In his previous life, he studied Chinese culture for many years and had some basic knowledge of classical Chinese. However, he was not focused on writing articles, and his writing looked awkward, so he asked Xi Yunting to revise it himself.
Fortunately, Xi Yunting is knowledgeable and well-learned. Chen Xiao's approach to ancient Chinese literature is still very different from that of this world.
Shi Fengdu came over curiously when he was rehearsing. After listening to the ancient rhyme, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to him that although there was such a segment, Chen Xiao made it too exaggerated.
You have to know that the process of establishing a sect in the world of immortal cultivation is almost enough, and no one requires you to follow it step by step.
Otherwise, those independent cultivators who come from independent backgrounds will never be able to establish their own sect in their lifetime.
However, Chen Xiao held the opposite view. This article absolutely could not be omitted. At least it could prove that the Dongyu School had profound knowledge and heritage.
Chen Xiao didn't know whether this proof worked or not, but many people in the venue had confused expressions like poor students who were impressed by what they saw, and were successfully confused by Chen Xiao.
After the recitation, the ceremony entered its main course.
All the people from the Dongyu faction came to the steps of the square, formed into teams, and stood in neat rows.
As soon as this group of people appeared, they caused a small commotion because their number was too small!
People who were not familiar with Chen Xiao and those who had joined because of his reputation thought that a new sect with such a luxurious gate must have dozens of disciples, if not hundreds.
But after looking carefully again and again, they had to believe that there were really only three people standing in the line representing the disciples.
Including the elders and guests, plus the leader Chen Xiao, there are only seven people in the entire Dongyu Sect.
"Why are there so few people? Why are they mobilizing so many people to create such a big scene? Are they just bored?"
I don't know who was talking in the audience, but maybe it was because the voice was so loud that even Chen Xiao on the stage could hear it.
Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear and calmly continued with the next process.
Tang Ru, who was standing in the queue of elders, looked coldly in that direction. Tong Nuonuo next to her took two deep breaths and pulled her.
Currently, the Dongyu Sect has very few members, including the leader Chen Xiao, disciples Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang, vassal Du Rong, elders Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru, and guest official Jing Hui.
Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao will become Taoist partners in the future, and the Dongyu Sect and the Chongxuan Sect will have a marriage relationship. Now that the ceremony has not been held yet, Chen Xiao has politely declined Xi Yunting's plan to fill the number by offering him the status of a guest official.
It is inevitable to find people with low emotional intelligence who don't know how to judge the occasion anywhere. Chen Xiao didn't have time to argue with him at the moment. Jing Hui, who was serving as a guest, glanced at him with a cold look.
The man retreated uncomfortably, shrank into the crowd, and became as quiet as a chicken.
Led by Chen Xiao, the seven people all knelt down, first worshiping the sky and then the earth, expressing their awe for the heaven, earth and nature.
Then, Chen Xiao asked someone to bring up a tablet, placed it on the table, and led everyone to worship again.
For the third bow, only Master Chen Xiao and his disciple performed it. Du Rong and the other three who did not receive the inheritance simply bowed.
Seeing this, some people below were puzzled again.
In light of the previous experience of being glared at for saying the wrong thing, everyone lowered their voices when discussing the matter.
"Who are you worshipping? After worshipping the heaven and earth, you should worship the Dao, right? Don't people usually kowtow to the headmaster? Why is the headmaster kneeling after putting up a sign?"
Among the guests there were people planted in advance by Chen Xiao and Liu Lang in order to guide public opinion.
Seeing that there was a sign of trouble, the man lowered his voice to prevent rumors from spreading, and said, "I heard that the headmaster Chen Xiao has learned a unique skill, so the one he kneels to should be the one who left the legacy."
Every once in a while, the world of immortal cultivation would hear about someone having a fortuitous encounter, and there were also people like Chen Xiao who were lucky enough to inherit the skills. After learning someone else's inheritance, no one would find it strange to recognize a master from a distance.
Even if he was worshipping the tablet as the master now, others would at most think that Chen Xiao was too particular and would not be able to associate it with anything else.
After the three toasts, Chen Xiao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, the most important thing is completed.
The only thing left to do is the final step, which is the demonstration of Dongyu School's martial arts skills.
Generally, in this stage, disciples of the sect are required to take the stage, either to practice individually or to participate in a performance-type competition.
Dongyu Sect is a literary sect after all, and the Feng Shui they practice is not good at fighting with others. Among the three masters and apprentices, only Chen Xiao has a high martial arts value.
However, since Chen Xiao is now the head of the sect, he cannot go down in person, and only two of his disciples can do it.
The situation of Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang was even more embarrassing. One had just started practicing, and the other had not yet reached the body refining stage. Neither of them had any outstanding performance.
Therefore, the final decision for this session was that Tang Ru would face Du Rong and Tong Nuonuo.
Tang Ru's poison spirit pearl has not yet recovered to its full state, and others can't tell that she is actually in the Nascent Soul stage. On the surface, it seems that a Jindan stage picking two foundation-building stage people is already very remarkable in the level of a medium-level immortal sect.
Tang Ru, Du Rong and Tong Nuonuo had rehearsed the fight in advance.
Now that the performance had officially begun and there were so many people watching, the three of them were very excited and performed even harder than during the rehearsal, which made the effect even more exciting and won them a lot of applause.
But deep down, Chen Xiao still felt a little regretful. The first shot of the Dongyu Sect's official debut was so perfect and outstanding, but the ending seemed ordinary, with a feeling of anticlimactic and top-heavy.
Chen Xiao kept this regret deep in his heart and did not show it at all.
He has done the best he can and can't ask for more.
The splendid and dazzling display of martial arts skills came to an end, and the people below generously began to offer various congratulations, congratulating the establishment of the Dongyu Sect.
The next step was to move to the main hall at the back, where hundreds of tables had been set up, enough for everyone present to enjoy the celebratory banquet together.
Du Rong was the first to leave, followed closely by Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang. The three of them went down to watch the rear.
Just when Chen Xiao was about to ask everyone to move away, Xi Yunting suddenly came up the stairs.
"Brother Xiao, wait a moment," he said.
"Brother?" Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunting approaching in surprise. This was not arranged in advance, which took him by surprise.
Xi Yunting stood in front of him and said softly, "Today your sect is established. I am really proud of you. I wish Dongyu Sect a bright future and a smooth journey to immortality. This is a gift for you."
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Xiao to react, he raised his hand and waved towards the sky. A white jade three-door archway appeared, flashing a hazy golden light, and it grew larger as it flew.
Chen Xiao widened his eyes, looking at the majestic white jade three-door archway that sat down from the sky. Its solid weight and powerful force made the ground shake with a loud "boom".
Many cultivators who were not mentally prepared lost their balance and almost turned into rolling gourds. Some of the more timid ones thought something had happened and screamed in shock.
After the archway landed on the ground, it made "creaky" and "bang" sounds and became a little bigger, standing firmly on the ground.
A golden light flashed suddenly, and spread like sound waves into ripples, quickly spreading to the entire Dongyu Sect’s headquarters, covering all the houses and courtyards.
After the coverage was completed, the golden light became brighter and emitted a dazzling light. In an instant, the sun and stars in the sky were dimmed.
Everyone was nearly blinded, except Chen Xiao, who was shielded by Xi Yunting in advance and escaped.
Chen Xiao grabbed Xi Yunting's hand, pulled it down, and looked at him with surprise and wonder, "Brother, what's going on? What did you give me?"
Xi Yunting smiled slowly, "It's a mountain gate. With the protection of this mountain gate, Dongyu Sect is not afraid of invasion. Ordinary people with evil intentions can't even enter the gate."
The mountain gate is often also the protection of the immortal gate. It is the first line of defense to protect the sect and often plays a role in determining life and death.
Chen Xiao had already inquired about it, and found out that the price of building a mountain gate was not much lower than that of a protective magic weapon.
He almost emptied his small treasury that he had accumulated for several years before he customized the protective magic weapon, and this was at a discounted price. The huge cost of the mountain gate made even Chen Xiao's face turn green, and he gave up the idea early.
But he didn't expect that Xi Yunting would give him a mountain gate at this time in front of so many people!
Chen Xiao was so happy that he almost went crazy, not only because of the surprise of receiving the gift, but also because of Xi Yunting's thoughtfulness.
"Brother! I like you so much!" Chen Xiao couldn't help but stepped across the short distance between them and hugged Xi Yunting.
"Xiaoxiao!" "Brother Chen." At this time, his friends behind him called out to him one after another.
Chen Xiao hurriedly turned around and saw Tang Ru, Tong Nuonuo and Jing Hui walking towards him together, all of them holding something in their hands.
"Congratulations on founding the Dongyu Sect! I wish the Dongyu Sect great success!" the three people said in unison.
The three of them gave the gifts in their hands to Chen Xiao one by one.
What Tang Ru gave was the essence of the Sky-reaching Vine condensed during the thunder tribulation of Wu Xuzi in Amur Heavenly Realm. It was a piece of wood with gold and wood properties, and was a top-grade material for making Feng Shui instruments.
What Tong Nuonuo sent was a complete set of mechanism design drawings. These were the supporting mechanisms that he had carefully designed based on the layout of the Dongyu Sect. Their function was to actively defend and alarm when invaded.
What Jinghui gave was a string of beads that he had worn for many years. After careful nurturing by him, it could be used to bless meditation mantras and achieve twice the result with half the effort when used when drawing talismans.
The gifts from the three friends were all top-notch items that Chen Xiao could use. Chen Xiao had never thought that they had secretly prepared gifts without telling him, and he was deeply moved. Chen Xiao held the gifts and looked at the smiling faces in front of him. He couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up, "Thank you."
In his previous life, he had experienced many hardships and had no one to confide in except his master. But here, in the past ten years, he not only gained precious love, but also had three precious friendships. There is no happier moment than this!
