Dong''Dong''Dong''
The rumbling sound of thunder drums came down from Daluotian and resounded throughout the world of Jambu. After the sound of thunder drums, it was the world of Linlin Xianle Miaochui.
Yan Hui, the chief envoy of Taixuan Province, and Wude Xingjun, the chief envoy of Tianshu Province, stood on both sides of the jade platform outside the Lingxiao Palace, and then Yan Hui nodded to Wude Xingjun.
At this time, Wude Star Lord handed the edict in his hand to Tianshu Dulu Qu Daoping who was standing beside him. Qu Daoping held the edict in both hands, walked to the edge of the jade platform and handed it back to the giant spirit.
The Great Spirit God accepted the decree, turned around, and bowed toward the Lingxiao Palace. He then unfolded the decree with both hands and read it aloud. His magnificent voice instantly echoed throughout Daluo Heaven and the Great World of Yama: "The Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable, the Mysterious Sky High God, has arrived at the Lingxiao Palace. Taiyuan Daozu, Tathagata Buddha, and Nuwa Niangniang have ascended to the heavens and taken their places of honor. The Five Imperial Emperors are accompanying him, and the Four Lingxiao Emperors are acting as regents."
The opening of the decree read by the Giant Spirit God announced the layout of the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor had already arrived, followed by Taiyuan Daozu, Tathagata Buddha, and Nuwa Niangniang, followed by the Five Imperial Emperors, and finally the Four Lingxiao Emperors. In other words, these were the only ones who could enter the palace early without going through the formalities.
The Giant Spirit read out again: "In compliance with the decree of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky High God: Summon all the gods and immortals to the audience!"
"By the decree of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky Supreme God: Summon all the gods and immortals to the audience!"
"By the decree of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky Supreme God: Summon all the gods and immortals to the audience!"
This was the ceremony of announcing the names of the deceased. There were a total of one hundred and twenty celestial generals, who were arranged in order from under the Jade Platform outside the Lingxiao Palace to outside the four celestial gates. There were thirty celestial generals arranged on each road leading to the four celestial gates to conduct the announcing of the names of the deceased. At the same time, each road leading to the four celestial gates was deployed with one hundred thousand celestial soldiers, who were lined up with ceremonial guards and ritual vessels to welcome the deceased.
At this time, Erlang Shen personally arranged the grand court ceremony. Except for the names read out by the giant spirit, all other immortals and gods had to go through this ceremony to enter from the four heavenly gates, and then line up outside the Lingxiao Palace to pay homage under the guidance of fairies holding "fan hands" and "banners".
As the imperial edict was passed on to the outside of the four heavenly gates, the four Taixuandu Province Shangshu who had been arranged outside the four heavenly gates immediately chanted it in turn.
East Heaven Gate: "The King of the East, the Queen Mother of the West, the Eastern Qingling Shilao Tianjun, the Southern Danling Zhenlao Tianjun, the Central Yuanling Shilao Tianjun, the Western Haoling Huanglao Tianjun, the Northern Wuling Xuanlao Tianjun, the Supreme Laojun, the Zhenyuan Daojun, the Yuqing Shengzu Ziyuanjun, the Bixiao Jingluo Daojun, and the Guangsheng Ciming Daojun, enter the East Heaven Gate to pay homage."
South Heavenly Gate: "Taiyi Rescuer of Suffering, Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, Xuantian Yousheng Zhenwu Great Emperor, Zhengfa Mingshen Wenchang Emperor, Blessing Heavenly Official Great Emperor, Forgiving Earthly Official Great Emperor, Jieyou Shui Official Great Emperor, Beiyin Fengdu Great Emperor, Dongyue Great Emperor, Nanyue Great Emperor, Zhongyue Great Emperor, Xiyue Great Emperor, Beiyue Great Emperor, enter the South Heavenly Gate to pay homage."
Western Heaven Gate: "The Buddha Dipankara, the Buddha Maitreya from the East, the Buddha Medicine Master, the Buddha Immovable Body, the Buddha Sandalwood Merit, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva Teacher of All Humanity, the Bodhisattva of Great Vows, the White Horse Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva Dharmazang, the Peacock King, the Horse-Headed King, the Immovable King, and the King of the Three Worlds descend to the Western Heaven Gate to pay homage."
North Heaven Gate: "The Great Emperor of the Pure Sky (Di Jun), the Holy Mother of Purple Purity (Xi He), and the Holy Mother of the Pure Land (Chang Yi) entered the North Heaven Gate for an audience."
After these names have been sung, the sound of thunder drums will start again, with flags fluttering and ceremonial guards everywhere. After the sound of thunder drums continues for thirty-six breaths, the singing will continue.
Dongtianmen: "Chaos Yuan Mo, Xiaoyao Mozun, Minghe Mozun, Dali Mozun, Dafa Mozun, enter Dongtianmen to meet with the emperor."
South Heaven Gate: "Juntian Dao Lord, Xuanzhou Zhenjun, Bixia Yuanjun, Zixu Yuanjun, Antian Jiangmo Zhenjun, Xuantan Zhenjun, Xietian Zhenjun, Xiyi Zhenjun, Zhengyi Zhenjun, Miaoji Zhenjun, Chong'en Zhenjun, Baopu Zhenjun, Long'en Zhenjun, Zhoutian Xingjun, etc., enter the South Heaven Gate to pay homage."
West Heaven Gate: "All Arhats, Buddhist disciples, monastics, and devas, etc., enter the West Heaven Gate to pay homage."
North Heaven Gate: "Taiyi Supreme Protector of Dao, True Lord of Virtue (Kunpeng), the Twelve Demon Gods, and others, enter the North Heaven Gate to pay homage."
“.”
The Hongluo call-out lasted for a whole hour. The list included all the famous people in the Heavenly Court, Taoism, Buddhism, Demonic Sect, and Xuan Sect, with a total number of more than 100,000.
The roll call by the Grand Herald was only a part of this grand ceremony. After the roll call, the entire ceremony lasted for another two hours before officially entering the stage of paying homage to the Lingxiao Palace.
What is even more different from the past is that there is no throne in the Lingxiao Palace this time. Except for the Jade Emperor, Taiyuan Daozu, Tathagata Buddha, and Nuwa Niangniang, all others are standing.
As the mighty immortals and monks from the heavenly court, various religions and sects entered the Lingxiao Palace, everyone bowed and paid homage to the Jade Emperor as Yan Hui, the chief envoy of Taixuan Province, sang a ceremony.
"I pay my respects to the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Mysterious Sky High God. I respectfully wish the Jade Emperor an endless life and happiness, and that he will always reign in the Tao." The sound of worship shook the sky and lasted for a long time.
The Jade Emperor, with a smile on his face, sat on the summit of the supreme sky and said, "All the immortals, please stand."
Yan Hui loudly declared, "The Jade Emperor's decree: All the immortals, stand up and return to your ranks."
"Thank you, Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the High God of the Mysterious Sky." Everyone shouted in gratitude, and then each entered the immortal class according to their position and rank, standing respectfully with their tablets in hand.
At this point, Yan Hui and the Martial Virtue Star Lord turned and bowed to Erlang Shen, saying, "Your Highness, the Pure Source, the Wonderful Dao, the Benevolent and Benevolent Emperor, all the immortals and gods from the Celestial Court, from all religions, and from all sects have arrived. They have completed their pilgrimage and are now joining the ranks of the immortals."
