1402 What Do You Mean by No Big Deal! (1)
Under the night sky
The valley was exceptionally quiet. The sacrificial altar produced a mysterious vibe, silencing all living creatures in the vicinity.
Moonlight flowed down like a stream, shining on the altar.
Holy white flames burned on the round pillars, lighting up the entire valley.
There was a massive stone vessel in the middle of the altar, rectangular-shaped and two meters tall. The inside was empty; Wang Teng wondered about its use.
Being outsiders, neither he nor Ferya could step onto the altar during the ceremony.
They observed the whole thing with curious eyes.
The altar had six concentric steps.
The chiefs from all the different tribes approached the altar under the grand elders lead.
The latter stood in front of the rectangular stone vessel. The chiefs stood farther back, behind the round pillars surrounding the altar.
Powerful members of the light velvet race had also gone to the valley. They kneeled around the altar and raised their arms to the sky with devoted expressions.
The earnest expressions on their furry faces were evident.
Some of the furry people werent allowed to attend. They also knelt in the altars general direction.
Mount Saint was facing the altar.
The grand elder and the others were ready. All kinds of worship items were placed in front of the stone vessel.
They didnt use living creatures; instead they placed numerous spiritual herbs and plants of obscure nature.
All of the offerings had been sealed in white jade boxes. The grand elder himself opened them, blinding lights shooting out each time. A dense amount of constellation light force was scattered, filling up the surrounding space with fragrance.
Ten thousand years!
Ferya was flabbergasted when she saw the spiritual herbs.
One, two, three... nine! Oh my god, there are nine ten-thousand year old herbs. Not only that, theyre of the high-tier light element kind.
She was rendered speechless. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief.
To think she had looked down upon the old mans plants moments before. It was a loud slap on her face.
Wang Teng was astounded.
This old man has all his good stuff well hidden.
Such actions blew his mind away.
I must get more goodies from the old man before I leave, Wang Teng promised himself.
He looked at Ferya and found her expression hilarious. The girl was bewildered, mouth wide open.
Ferya noticed his gaze and regained her composure. She put on a stern face and glared at him. What are you looking at?
My lady, what do you think about those ancient herbs? Wang Teng chuckled.
Ferya turned green with anger.
Hmph!
She knew he had the upper hand this time, so she turned and pretended she didnt hear him.
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard on the altar. The phenomenon gave off an ancient vibe.
Wang Teng turned to look at the altar. The one making the sound was actually the grand elder.
His head was raised, while his voice seemed to be coming from deep inside his throat. It sounded low and desolate.
At the same timethe chieftains made the same sound. Their voices joined the grand elders, becoming one and resounding in the silent night sky.
The old leader took out the nine ancient herbs from the jade containers and threw them into the stone vessel.
Boom!
The stone vessel vibrated and a white light erupted from within. Strange patterns glowed on the surface; the patterns linked the vessel to the altar, causing the ones etched on the altar to shine as well.
After some time, the entire altar setting was completely covered with runes.
Even the pillars were covered. The patterns climbed from the bottom, all the way to the flames, making it seem exceptional and divine.
All the patterns inter linked and formed an unknown and divine picture.
Wang Teng was attracted by the image, but he couldnt tell what it was.
The entire altar was shining after all nine spiritual herbs were thrown in. The singing appeared to have reached the peak.
Something on Mount Saint was replying to them. The thick mist was dispersed a little.
Boom!
An explosion was heard.
A white, holy ray of light shone down from Mount Saint, landing on the altar.
The grand elder and the others were stunned for a moment, then there were smiles. The pitch of their song rose higher, along with their excitement and volume. Their voices pierced through the air.
The light velvet people were just as excited; even some of them were in tears. Their arms were raised up high as they bowed continuously, praying for something.
The holy white light shone on all the furry people, drowning them in the white splendor and making them look divine.
Suddenly, all the light velvet people began to float. Their own bodies were emitting white light, as if they themselves were balls of light.
They looked like the spirits of heaven and earth!
They were natures beloved children!
Wang Teng and Ferya were stunned by the sudden change.
What just happened?
Why are the light velvet people shining all of a sudden?
