Chapter 719: Rotating Chakra Ceremony
Trantor: WQL Editor: Aleem
After bowing towards Elder Muen, those deacons threw an awe-stricken nce at Zhang Tie before leaving. As they were responsible for taking care of the Ancestral Hall and serving n elders, of course, these deacons knew what was this for.
"Elder Muen, what’s this for? Are we holding some ceremony?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"Of course we need to hold a ceremony. Have you forgotten what we talked aboutst night?" Elder Muen revealed a smile.
"Ahh? Is that for me?"
"Of course!"
"This...is too grand!" Zhang Tie looked around and watched those busy deacons and disciples, those gold bricks with propitious clouds and the prayer gs that were hanging in the hall. That was really too grand. Last night, the other elders said there would be an official ceremony for one more knight in Huaiyuan Pce. Zhang Tie had not imagined that it could be such grand.
"Rotating Chakra Ceremony is a major event for our n. Of course, we have to treat it meticulously!" Elder Muen said with a solemn look.
"Rotating Chakra Ceremony?"
"After promoting to a knight, you have formed your original Chakra; if the Chakra could rotate forever, it would indicate a great battle force of our n. The rotating Chakra is not only rted to yourself, but also rted to the qiyun and prosperity of the entire n and Huaiyuan Pce. Therefore, we have to hold a rotating Chakra ceremony to celebrate and disy the dignity of the knight!" Speaking of this, Elder Muen looked around the entire hall with a narcissistic and emotional look as he lowered his voice, "Thest rotating Chakra ceremony was held here 68 years ago. Before Elder Muyu and Elder Muan promoted to knights at the same time, they were called Huaiyuan Double Jades due to great talents. They promoted to knights within 3 years one after another. In that rotating Chakra ceremony, the moment the two knights appeared, our Huaiyuan Pce shocked the entire Waii Sub-continent. In Jinyun Country, Huaiyuan Pce’s prestige even exceeded the other 5 major ns, Lan n, Ou n, Dantai n, Wang n and Li n. Each member of Huaiyuan Pce was proud about that. Since then, the rotating Chakra ceremony’s ritual instruments had been maintained everyday. Each member of Huaiyuan Pce expected for the moment when we could use those ritual instruments once again. And it came again 68 yearster..."
"68 years!" Zhang Tie also let out a sigh while he was deeply moved by Elder Muen. Zhang Tie had not imagined that it was so difficult to be a knight.
"The big events of a major n are warfare and sacrifice. In Taixia Country, each top n would hold a rotating Chakra ceremony per 10 years or so. In each rotating Chakra ceremony, the cohesive force and influence of a n would reach a new high. Before Huaiyuan Pce returned to Taixia Country, it’s a good symbol for Huaiyuan Pce to hold another rotating Chakra ceremony in this Ancestral Hall!"
"When will it start?"
"November 3rd. It’s a lucky day!" Elder Muen replied, "We have to pay great attention to this rotating Chakra ceremony. It will take Huaiyuan Pce’s side more than half a month to prepare for it. Additionally, we have to send invitations to guests. It would take all the guests at least 1 month to arrive here. Today is September 24th. Although it is still a bit hasty, 40 days is okay !"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie said, "I have something to deal with. I will leave Huaiyuan Prefecture for a while. I wille back before November 1st!"
As Zhang Tie had not been to Ice and Snow Wilderness for a long time, he nned to take a look back there in this period. As his current swimming speed was at least 10 times faster than that of before, it wouldn’t take him too long to make a round trip.
After being silent for a second, Elder Muen watched Zhang Tie seriously, "As this rotating Chakra ceremony is rted to the dignity of the n, after sending out the invitations, guests will converge here from all directions. If you didn’te back on time, the entire Huaiyuan Pce would feel bashful. If it’s a dangerous trip, you can have Elder Muray apany you..."
As Zhang Tie usually disappeared, Elder Muen was afraid that Zhang Tie would disappear once again. If so, Huaiyuan Pce would have a big trouble. If Zhang Tie was still the previous one, Elder Muen would have rebuked him; however, Zhang Tie’s status was as same as that of him now. Although Zhang Tie had not be an official n elder, he could not be looked down by anyone else in Huaiyuan Pce. As a n elder, unless making an unforgivable mistake when he would be punished by all the other n elders, he had the right to refuse any order in the n. Negotiations were avable instead of orders for him.
"Elder Muen, don’t worry. I’m not going to fight demons this time. I will be safe!" Zhang Tie exined with a smile as he understood Elder Muen’s concern.
"Hmm,e with me..." Elder Muen then led Zhang Tie into a rear court of the Ancestral Hall, where the n elders usually cultivated in. After that, Elder Muen took out of a mini brocade box from a cab in a room.
Zhang Tie took it and found a finger ring inside. Given its look, the finger ring was nothing different thanmon finger rings, besides being thicker and wider. However, Zhang Tie knew thatmon finger rings could never be put away here in such a solemn way. Additionally, Zhang Tie remembered that all the n elders were wearing a simrmon finger ring.
"This is a top-quality remote-sensing crystal finger ring that could only be worn by n elders of Huaiyuan Pce. ording to our n, you should wear it when you confirmed the knight character at the end of the rotating Chakra ceremony. Now that you want to leave Huaiyuan Prefecture, you can put it on first. You can contact the other n elders with it in an emergency."
Zhang Tie took it and looked at it carefully. However, he found that it didn’t look like a remote-sensing crystal at all.
"There’s a mini top quality remote-sensing crystal inside this finger ring. You cannot see it without using your spiritual energy!"
Zhang Tie then sensed a fine hole which was dozens of times narrower than that of needle eye on the surface of the finger ring. After injecting his spiritual energy into that fine hole, Zhang Tie sensed the core of the remote-sensing crystal which looked like a drop of running water.
The smaller the remote-sensing crystal was, the easier it would be carried and the more precious it would be. After being sealed inside the finger ring, the remote-sensing crystal could almost not be seen by others. Such a delicate craftsmanship and the value of such a tiny remote-sensing crystal was amazing. Compared to that remote-sensing crystal gifted by Zhang Yang, this finger ring was much more advanced. After wearing this finger ring, when a message was transmitted here, he would receive it instantly.
Furthermore, this finger ring was a rare Knight-level rune equipment. After scanning over the metallic surface of the finger ring with his spiritual energy, Zhang Tie had seen lines of the message in his mind.
——Huaiyuan Finger Ring
——Knight-level Equipment.
——With this finger ring, the wearer could increase his nimbleness by 2%, his recovery speed by 2% and his perceptive ability by 2%.
What a rarity! What was more was that there was an inid top quality remote-sensing crystal inside the finger ring.
"This finger ring is produced in the Items Pavilion of Huaiyuan Pce. Only n elders are qualified to wear it. Each n elder has one!"
Zhang Tie took it solemnly. Although the Huaiyuan Finger Ring was light, it was valuable.
There was an exclusive long-distancemunications identification code for this finger ring in the box. After skimming it, Zhang Tie rubbed it into ashes in front of Elder Muen.
"In the encryption department of the Ancestral Hall, someone was keeping an eye on the other side of this remote-sensing crystal around the clock. Through the transfer of the encryption department, you could contact the other 5 n elders through this finger ring!"
The encryption department was exclusive for the long-distancemunications among n elders, which was under the management of royal and reliable n deacons. This agency disyed the wealth and privileges of n elders of Huaiyuan Pce.
"Did Elder Muyuan transmit the message from Eastern Continent to here by Huaiyuan Finger Ring this time?"
"Hmm!" Elder Muen nodded.
After bing a n elder, ording to the regtions of Huaiyuan Pce, Zhang Tie could only call other elders’ courtesy names. Even if they were father and son or brothers, they could also not call each other ording to their seniority in the family unless at home or privately. Therefore, Zhang Tie could not call 6th granduncle in the public anymore.
...
After 10 minutes, Zhang Tie strode downwards Yiyang Mountain, the center of Huaiyuan Pce alone.
In Huaiyuan Pce, nobody dared to follow n elders unless the one was bored of living too long. Additionally, only knights were able to follow knights.
"Ahh? Are you a new disciple? We’ve not seen you before!" When Zhang Tie went downhill, he met some deacons who were going uphill at the same age of Zhang Tie. Watching the young man who was wearing a different warrior’s costume from that of others, the other deacons asked amazingly. ’As all the deacons, stewards and disciples in the mountain were uniformed costumes respectively, nobody dared wear casual clothes here. Who’s that one? How can he be so audacious?"
"No..."
Zhang Tie answered calmly before walking downhill in a handsome way under the amazing gaze of the disciples.
...
After half an hour, Zhang Tie came to an apartment on one avenue of Yiyang City.
...
"Ahh? Mr and Mrs James have already checked out half a year ago. They’ve already left Yiyang City by the sea!"
The concierge of that apartment was a strong white man. He answered Zhang Tie politely when he found that Zhang Tie was a Hua man in an expensive set of warrior’s costumes.
At this moment, as a great batch of Hua people were evacuating from Yiyang City, more and more other human species flooded in. Many Siberians found their jobs in Yiyang City, which made up the shortage ofbor forces in this city.
The concierge’s reply was within Zhang Tie’s expectationpletely. On the way here, he had guessed that Miss Daina had already moved away. Last time, after he left Yiyang City two months ago, Miss Daina should have married her fiance. As such a long time had passed by, it was impossible for Miss Daina to stay in Yiyang City.
Zhang Tie didn’t know why would hee here. As a whim just urred to his mind, ’What’s going with Miss Daina? If she’s living well, I just want to take a nce from the distance without any malicious intention.’ However, after finding that someone else was living in the residence of Miss Daina and her husband, Zhang Tie couldn’t stand to inquire the concierge about the whereabouts of Miss Daina.
"Do you know their whereabouts?"
"They might have gone to the Eastern Continent. As to the details, I have to say I don’t know. It’s heard that Doc James is proficient in surgery. Someone dug him out of his previous hospital. His wife got pregnant. Of course, they left here by chance..."
’Had Miss Daina got pregnant? Given the time, she should have be a mom.’ Zhang Tie feltplex inside.
’I married some girls and became a father; Miss Daina also married a man and became a mother. Is this the so-called life?’
...
After leaving Miss Daina’s residence, Zhang Tie walked for a while in the boisterous streets of Yiyang City. Finally, he recovered hisposure and called a taxi for Golden Sea City.
The driver of the taxi was a ck man, who could not speak Huanguage fluently. Zhang Tie just pointed at his destination on the map showed by the driver. The driver then understood where he was heading for.
Zhang Tie prepared to visit Zhang n’s head in Golden Sea City. On the way, the driverpletely treated him as a tool for practicing Huanguage. Hearing his jokes in awkward Huanguage, Zhang Tie sighed helplessly, ’Yup, c’est vie——even the woman being loved by a knight married another man; met a driver who joked in awkward Huanguage when you were depressed.’
The taxi driver parked outside the old mansion of Zhang n. Zhang Tie tossed a gold coin at the driver as he said, "Keep the changes..."
As the travel fee was less than 10 silver coin, the driver was overjoyed by a gold coin.
" Xiexie 1 ...Xiexie..." The driver instantly elerated away 2 .
Zhang Tie shook his head as he walked towards the old mansion of Zhang n...
A limo drove by Zhang’s old mansion identally. When it passed by Zhang Tie, the vehicle suddenly slowed down. The window was rolled down while a beauty in a very womanly skirt watched Zhang Tie’s side with a slight frown. Zhang Tie also looked at her. The woman’s eyes instantly turned bright.
"Is that you?" The woman eximed with an amazement.
After gazing at her for a few seconds, Zhang Tie remembered who she was, the crazy girl who hugged him and called him hubby when she saw him for the first time...
’Nana...’
After changing her make-up, the little female delinquent almost could not be recognized by Zhang Tie...
However, based on Zhang Tie’s knowledge about women, the moment he saw her, he knew that her current look waspletely disguised...
