The Rise of The Mythical Dragon

Sacrifice to the dragon temple has been around since ancient times, but even the Tang Dynasty had never seen such a thing like nationwide sacrifice.

Nowadays, the Wuji Kingdom wants the whole country to worship the Dragon Temple. No matter where you look, you feel something weird, but Xuanzang can't explain it.

Even Master Yunbo, who is the national master, has not seen through this situation.

Since you can't understand, then just turn a blind eye and forget it.

Besides, this sacrificial ceremony is not a bad thing for the Dragon Temple. After all, the gods of the Dragon Temple must have the power of merit to maintain it. Therefore, Master Yunbo has not felt that there is anything wrong with this matter for many years.

News spread from the palace. When the people in the city heard that the mage from the Eastern Land of Tang Dynasty was going to pray with the national master, the people of the entire Wuji Kingdom became excited.

They never expected that things would turn out like this, and they were naturally extremely excited.

Thinking about the imperial master is shocking enough, and now there are experts from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Their Wuji Country will definitely be prosperous in the coming year, and of course such good things should be celebrated with joy.

On that day, before the start of the imperial ceremony, the whole city became lively.

…

In the Wuji King's Palace, the king heard the ministers reporting on the progress of the affairs related to the national dynasty ceremony. He nodded from time to time, obviously very satisfied with the arrangement.

"Your Majesty, are there more people around the prayer platform?"

After hesitating for a moment, the minister continued: "This time, a mage from the Eastern Tang Dynasty was present for the blessing. If we don't take precautions, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Hearing this, the king was stunned for a moment, then a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "There is no need to add more. The mages of the Tang Dynasty have their own apprentices, and they are not ordinary people. There is no need to do it multiple times."

The minister seemed to feel that something was wrong. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. He could only nodded, turned around and retreated.

Seeing the people leaving, the king showed a sneer on his lips, then stood up and walked towards the window.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, the king seemed to feel something and murmured in a low voice: "I hope I can succeed once and for all. Victory or failure depends on this."

For several days, the entire Wuji Kingdom was busy with one thing. A huge prayer platform had been erected in the city, and the direction it faced was the direction of the Dragon Temple.

Even the stone statues prepared by the king earlier have been transported to the surrounding area. More than a dozen statues of dragon temple gods surrounded the entire high platform.

…

The scale of the National Dynasty Conference was far beyond Xuanzang's expectation. When he saw the statues around the prayer platform, even though he had been prepared, he was still shocked.

"This is!?"

Master Yunbo on the side heard Xuanzang exclaim, smiled slightly, and said, "This statue is decorated every year."

Hearing the other party's nonsense, Xuanzang was immediately stunned. Sun Wukong and the others around him looked at this scene, and they were also a little surprised.

If this is true, why have we never seen this idol appear?

Such a large blessing pattern contains many famous immortals from Zhenxi Dragon Palace, and even the statues of Lord Cihang and others are included. Logically speaking, Zhenxi Dragon Palace should respond.

But when I was in Dragon Palace, I had never heard of such a thing.

After looking at each other with Huang Tianlu, Sun Wukong turned to look at Master Yunbo, clasped his hands together and said, "May I ask Master, can this statue have any spiritual manifestations after praying for blessings?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yunbo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course there is a miracle happening, otherwise this national and dynasty conference would not be held until now."

Sun Wukong's face suddenly darkened, obviously he did not expect that this statue would actually appear.

In an instant, Sun Wukong knew that there must be something he had not expected.

After a little hesitation, Sun Wukong decided that he must take a closer look before talking about it, in order to avoid anything that he didn't know about.

Immortals and gods are manifesting their holiness, but Dragon Palace itself doesn’t even know about it. This thing is getting more and more interesting.

"The mage is here?"

Just when Xuanzang was standing there in a daze, thinking about something, he suddenly remembered a voice in front of him. When he looked up, he found that the speaker was none other than the King of Wuji Kingdom.

Seeing the other party walking towards him, Xuanzang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what is the beginning of this prayer meeting?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, the King of Wuji Kingdom smiled slightly and said: "Of course, the sooner the better."

Xuanzang nodded slightly, then turned to look at Master Yunbo. The two looked at each other and walked towards the prayer platform together.

At this time, in the city of Wuji Kingdom, countless people began to move and slowly gathered towards the prayer platform.

As Xuanzang completely climbed onto the prayer platform, the people in the city suddenly stopped in their tracks, and then knelt on the ground, facing the high platform.

Watching this scene, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

This scene seems to be different from what I thought. Why are these people acting like this?

The Dragon Temple is dedicated to immortals. Although there is a ritual of worship, the prayer has not started yet. Why did it happen suddenly?

Master Yunbo raised his head and glanced at Master Gao, but saw that he had a calm expression on his face. He was obviously not surprised by such a scene and had no reaction at all.

Xuanzang frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he decided to take a look before talking.

Xuanzang unfolded the prayer book in front of him and began to recite it slowly.

The same is true for Master Yunbo on the side. He looks unhurried, obviously he has experienced such scenes for a long time.

As the sound of the two chanting sutras came, a breeze blew out of thin air on the high platform, making Xuan Zang stunned. He obviously did not expect such a scene.

Is it so simple to pray for blessings and connect heaven and earth?

Just when Xuanzang was curious, he saw that the high platform had begun to emit a faint golden light, changing constantly like clouds and mist.

Sun Wukong, who was under the high platform, was shocked when he saw this scene, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Spiritual power?"

"Why does this kind of thing appear in the prayer meeting?" Yan Yuan's face darkened slightly, obviously realizing that things were not as simple as he thought.

Only when certain conditions are met, spiritual power will appear in the sacrificial meeting, and often not much appears. This kind of spiritual power that is almost condensed into substance and can be seen by mortals is even more unheard of.

Shouldn't it be the power of merit that appears?

Just as the three brothers were horrified, they saw countless golden lights in the sky beginning to gather, forming a huge sphere on the prayer platform.

The dazzling golden light slowly emitted, and a powerful force of heaven spread out instantly.
