Yi Zhao nodded, turned around and walked outside first.
The black gilt door opens automatically.
Bright sunlight shines in.
Yi Zhao raised his chin slightly and looked outside.
From here to the square, you need to walk down nine flights of steps.
So standing here, you can easily overlook the entire square.
When the door opened and several people appeared, the originally lively square suddenly became quiet.
All eyes converged.
Afterwards, everyone saluted together:
"Welcome to the clan leader!"
Many figures on both sides bowed their heads together.
Although there are not many people, those who can come here are all the best among the Crimson Gold Tianfeng clan.
Standing in one place, there is also a strong pressure invisibly.
Yi Zhao calmly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Phoenix Valley.
Dark clouds gather and thunder bursts from the sky.
Obviously, the commotion over there hasn't stopped yet.
In the short term, I don’t know if it will end.
Yi Zhao quickly looked away and waved his palm.
A majestic aura spread quickly.
"Everyone, get up."
Only then did everyone get up.
Yi Zhao looked around and paused briefly when he saw the group of young people standing together.
Sensing that the patriarch was looking over, these young children all became nervous unconsciously.
It was the first time for many of them to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, and it was also the first time for them to come up to the square in front of the Phoenix Temple.
There will be some cramping and nervousness, which is normal.
Fortunately, Yi Zhao quickly withdrew his gaze, thus alleviating the invisible pressure on them.
Yi Zhao's deep and distant voice spread loudly and clearly landed in everyone's ears:
"The ancestor worship ceremony held today is a century-old event for our Crimson Gold Tianfeng clan!"
"This time, in addition to paying homage to our ancestors and testing the new generation, there is also an extremely important matter - selecting the young master of our clan!"
"I have inherited the position of clan leader for more than a thousand years. Now, it is time to choose the young master, the successor of the next clan leader!"
As soon as these words came out, many people looked slightly excited.
In fact, they had known about this before, but hearing it in person now made them feel excited.
This matter is of great significance to the entire Crimson Gold Tianfeng clan.
Even if most people know that they are not qualified to run for that election, they are still full of curiosity and excitement.
It is also a blessing to witness the selection of the young master with your own eyes!
"The first item of the ancestor worship ceremony: test the bloodline talent!"
Yi Zhao raised his hand and was about to point at Yi Ran, but after looking for a while, he didn't see that familiar figure, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At first glance, he thought Yi Ran was behind him, but then he realized that Yi Ran hadn't come at all.
This brief pause immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Many people looked at each other.
According to the rules, the first person to be tested in every ancestor worship ceremony is usually the most outstanding one among the younger generation at that time.
This can be considered a good intention.
Of their generation, Yi Ran should be the first to go up.
But he's not here yet.
Seeing this, Elder Yi Gong quickly stepped forward and explained in a low voice:
"Clan leader, Yi Ran told me a few days ago that he has gained a lot of enlightenment recently and there are faint signs of a breakthrough. He has been in seclusion during this period, maybe he hasn't come out yet."
Being late for the ancestor worship ceremony is not a small mistake.
But it’s understandable if it’s for practice.
Yi Zhao's expression softened a little.
"Yi Ran has always known what to do. If there were no special circumstances, I believe he would not be like this. It seems that this time, there is hope for a breakthrough."
Elder Yi Gong said quickly:
"Thank you very much, Patriarch Ji Yan. It's just that he hasn't succeeded in breaking through yet, and as a master, I don't dare to say anything more."
Yi Zhao smiled.
"He is very talented and everything will go smoothly. In fact, his strength is already outstanding. If he can successfully break through this time, it will be even more powerful."
Elder Yi Gong bowed his head humbly.
"He is young and energetic, and he still has a lot to learn."
He may seem humble, but the hint of arrogance between his eyebrows can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Yi Zhao didn't care either.
In recent years, Yi Ran has indeed performed well. No wonder Yi Palace is proud of him.
What's more, Yi Ran has already opened the three meridians. If he can really break through directly this time, he will open the fourth meridians.
Among the younger generation, none have yet reached this level.
Yi Zhao raised his hand and pointed at a young man next to him.
"Yixin, let's start with you!"
The young man who was named was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted.
"yes!"
After saying that, he walked straight forward and stopped when he reached the middle of the square.
This place is engraved with the totem of the red gold Tianfeng clan.
They have to rely on this totem for testing.
Yi Xin stood still on the totem, glanced down, and then took a deep breath to calm down.
He is also considered an extremely outstanding person in the clan.
Except for Yi Ran, he is basically the only one among the rest.
Yi Xin and Yi Ran are about the same age, but relatively speaking, they are much calmer and more low-key on weekdays.
Apart from practicing, he rarely gets involved in the affairs of the clan.
This is completely different from Yi Ran.
Everyone around looked over.
Although it is not Yi Ran who started the game, Yi Xin's talent and strength are pretty good.
"let's start!"
Yi Zhao gave the order.
Yi Xin nodded and immediately closed his eyes.
The next moment, a red-gold flame suddenly burst out from his body!
The flames instantly surrounded him, and the blazing heat caused the surrounding air to heat up instantly!
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a strange buzzing sound under his feet!
Immediately afterwards, the totem seemed to be ignited and gradually became brighter!
A warm and atmospheric light slowly emerged from under the totem!
Everyone watched attentively, and some didn't dare to blink for fear of missing something.
The totem of the red gold Tianfeng clan has a rather special shape.
It was like a ball of flame, or like a phoenix bird about to spread its wings and fly. There were nine lines at the end of it, which looked like separate flames, or like the tail of the phoenix bird.
At this time, as the flames on Yi Xin's body burned, the nine lines were being ignited one by one.
The first course.
The second way.
The third way!
When the third flame lit up, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Lighting up three channels proves that he has opened three meridians.
It is not unusual to open the three meridians, the key is whether he can continue!
Surprisingly, the flames on Yi Xin's body did not go out immediately!
On the fourth line, dots of red gold finally appeared!
"Hiss—is he going to light the fourth one?"
"Really or not? You have to have the four meridians opened to do it, right? I've never heard of Yi Xin's breakthrough before."
"He has been living in seclusion, concentrating on cultivation, and keeping a low profile. Maybe he can really ignite the fourth path-"
I changed to a new backstage, and I’m having a hard time getting used to it. I searched for a long time and couldn’t find a place to talk about something off-topic.
