Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1677: Chapter 902: Proclamation Issued, the Entire Clan in an Uproar (Part 2)

Zhao Dianmiao’s eyes shone brightly, feeling both surprised and delighted in his heart.

The Black Water Room is a branch lineage of the Chong Yue line, especially since his grandson, Zhao Zhengxing, not only possesses the Single Spirit Root qualification but also has a bloodline that returns to the ancestors, perfectly meeting the conditions for immigration.

If Zhao Zhengxing were fortunate enough to migrate into the Four Ancestors Cave Heaven, he would surely become a great cultivator in the future, and then he could support the Black Water Room, allowing it to rise again.

The more Zhao Dianmiao thought about it, the more excited he became, intending to ask Zhao Yu Yan further.

At that moment, a long and vast horn sounded from the upper sky.

Zhao Yu Yan and Zhao Dianmiao’s expressions shook, they stopped their private exchange and looked ahead together.

The silver-white Treasure Ship, as large as a mountain, finally stopped steadily above the square.

Bang!

A large white light suddenly surged from the belly of the silver-white Treasure Ship, then condensed into a long Cloud Ladder, extending to the square ground.

The next moment, a huge portal quietly opened in the belly of the ship, and cultivators dressed in luxurious robes flew out of the portal, landing on both sides of the Cloud Ladder.

They all stood respectfully, as if waiting for some important figure to appear.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu Yan and Zhao Dianmiao both wore fitting smiles, nearly identical to those of the people in front of them.

Following the Divinity Transformation True Monarch who took the lead to greet at the bottom of the Cloud Ladder, all the clan leaders and house masters also stepped forward.

Zhao Yu Yan and Zhao Dianmiao trailed at the very back of the crowd, appearing completely unobtrusive.

After a full quarter of an hour, a stern elder with a long beard hanging over his chest and a broad face and large ears finally appeared at the end of the Cloud Ladder.

As soon as this person appeared, the cultivators below smiled even more, but the atmosphere became even more solemn.

The stern elder walked down the Cloud Ladder step by step, coming in front of the cultivators.

At the forefront of the crowd, Divinity Transformation True Monarch Zhao Chengwo opened his mouth with a wide smile: "Brother Chengyi, welcome, welcome to our Hundred Xia Ridge! I am so delighted!"

"Dear Chengwo, my brother, I have a mission, and before coming, I couldn’t notify you in advance, please don’t get offended!"

"I’m not offended, absolutely not offended! After all, the ancestral decree is the most important. Brother Chengyi, you have a heavy responsibility, which I understand fully."

After some pleasantries, Zhao Chengwo invited Upper Envoy Zhao Chengyi to visit Baihua Pavilion in the city for a grand reception.

Surprisingly, Zhao Chengyi unexpectedly declined.

"Your heartfelt offer, brother, I understand. However, I am on a mission and cannot leave the Treasure Ship for a moment. Business matters are the priority. Please... receive the Ancestral Decree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chengyi took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve, solemnly presenting it to Zhao Chengwo with both hands.

At this moment, all eyes turned to the seemingly plain scroll, and everyone’s hearts suddenly hung high.

Zhao Chengwo, with a serious expression, reached out both hands cautiously to receive the scroll and then slowly unfolded it.

When his gaze landed on the yellow satin, his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly surprised.

"This... Brother Chengyi, the intentions of the Four Ancestors are extremely profound, far beyond us juniors. But three hundred quotas... is quite too few. Could there be some negotiation!"

Saying this, Zhao Chengwo suddenly switched to divine thought communication, obviously engaging in a private exchange with Zhao Chengyi.

A few breaths later, Zhao Chengyi shook his head, looking troubled and said, "No! It’s already allocated from above, the number of quotas can neither increase nor decrease. Brother, please don’t make it difficult for me."

Zhao Chengwo felt secretly disappointed but still had some unwillingness. He wanted to persuade a bit more, but with everyone around, he could only temporarily put it aside.

After Zhao Chengyi handed over the Ancestral Decree, he disregarded Zhao Chengwo’s repeated persuasion and directly turned back to the Treasure Ship.

The accompanying cultivators also soon withdrew into the Treasure Ship, leaving behind only the long Cloud Ladder.

As the Peak Master of Xia Guang Peak, Zhao Chengwo’s cultivation isn’t the highest, but he has faintly become the "leader" of Hundred Xia Ridge.

He turned and looked at all the clan leaders and house masters, wordlessly passing the Ancestral Decree to the next person.

The City Lord of Brocade City received the decree, looked at its contents, and then silently passed it to the person beside him.

Just like this, one after another, people looked through it, and the decree eventually fell into Zhao Yu Yan’s hands.

Zhao Yu Yan hurriedly finished reading its contents, indeed consistent with the big ladder he knew, except there was an added test of qualification and insight.

Zhao Yu Yan bypassed the crowd, handed the decree back to Zhao Chengwo, and then silently retreated.

After receiving and sending the decree, Zhao Chengwo looked at the crowd seriously and said in a deep voice, "The decree of the ancestor, everyone has seen it. You only have seven days, quickly return to the clan, and bring the eligible juniors swiftly here. Then board the ship for the test in the order of arrival."

Speaking to this point, he intensified his tone: "Although not mentioned in the decree, I warn you all, absolutely no ’outsiders’ are allowed to mix in this selection. If anyone dares to violate the rules, all houses in Hundred Xia Ridge will unite to attack! Do you understand?"

After listening, all the clan leaders and house masters were as silent as cicadas in the winter, nodding their agreement.

Then, the cultivators took to the skies one after another, speeding off in all directions.

It wasn’t long before Brocade City seemed to boil over, and due to the decree, the whole city was in uproar.

The news spread as if by light speed, and each Great Spirit of Bai Xia Spirit plunged into a state of frenzy and excitement.

Not only did each branch and scattered branch of the Zhao Family know, countless forces closely connected to the Zhao Family also learned of this astonishing news.

Because of the "precedent" of the three ancestors, any Zhao Clan Members who learned of this knew what it meant.
