Chapter 173 - 108: This Is the Formation Core! Why Does It Keep Regrowing After Being Cut? (2)
[The system has detected new data packet fragments, data packet (2) fragment collection complete!]
[Game’s new section loaded successfully, data packet (2) loaded completely].
[Due to the continuous attacks on the Chen Family by Demon Path Demons, their attention on the Chen Family has increased significantly, along with an influx of Loose Cultivators, increasing your pressure day by day.
Moreover, during this time, you have heard many peculiar news. The Ancestor Master Chang Mei of the Emei Sect who ascended to the Celestial Court seemed to send a message from there, along with various rumors of Divine Monarchs, sparking your yearning.
Perhaps it’s that you think during the day and dream at night, as you unbelievably received a dream from the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable in your sleep, suggesting that a single grand enlightenment ritual can connect with the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable to receive his blessing!]
Chen Han was truly surprised when he saw this game prompt, as it was exactly as he had imagined before that this data packet (2) was related to divinity.
Moreover, this is a task; the enlightenment cannot be done casually with just a ritual platform.
He subconsciously asked his Aunt: "Aunt, how to hold a grand enlightenment ceremony for the Celestial Venerable Statue?"
"Ah??" Aunt was taken aback: "That’s the highest specification enlightenment ceremony for the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue, our Chen Family simply can’t hold it, Patriarch, our Chen Family doesn’t currently have this capability, it needs 60 from the Dharma Lineage and 300 believers to properly perform the ceremony."
Listening to Aunt’s words, Chen Han pondered; 60 from the Dharma Lineage means needing 60 Taoist Sect members to form the ceremony, and 300 believers implies needing 300 followers to worship.
This stems from the implication that the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable vanquishes demons every 60 years, nourishing demons in the human world for 300 years.
Under normal circumstances, just gathering these 60 Dharma Lineage members would be difficult for the Chen Family, but now it is a system task, all family members in the game narrative are cultivators.
Hence, 60 family members in the game narrative definitely meet the requirement, finding 300 followers shouldn’t be hard; there are many visitors now, casually organizing an enlightenment event saying participation can give blessings, anyone would join for the excitement.
If not, let the village folks join in the excitement, if still unsuccessful, get Director Chen from the county to help promote, ensuring the numbers won’t be an issue.
In this way, the requirements of the game system should be met.
However, it’s unknown what blessing the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable would give in the game narrative.
Thinking this over, Chen Han said: "Aunt, many family members need to return to the clan, choosing 60 people shouldn’t be a problem, 300 believers can also be resolved, our Chen Family hasn’t had a grand blessing event for a long time, let’s take advantage of this enlightenment ceremony to hold one."
Aunt hesitated to speak hearing these words, finally nodded, and showed a look of anticipation on her face.
The Chen Family indeed hasn’t held a grand blessing event for a long time; since the clan members left home for work, fewer and fewer people came to the hall to offer incense and worship. She vaguely remembers, in her youth, the Chen Family’s blessing events were so lively.
Clan members gathered in the hall, each holding incense, the entire hall was filled with a nostalgic lively atmosphere.
She hasn’t seen such a scene for a long time.
Chen Han left the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall and also conveyed the matter to Little Uncle, asking him to notify the clan in the family, organize the clan members, and cooperate with Aunt.
Dharma Lineage members aren’t just gathering together randomly, they need to act individually, akin to different regions having wandering god activities.
The specific setup is, for a grand enlightenment ceremony, there needs to be a special sedan chair to carry the 2.6-meter Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue out of the hall, then place it by the Flower Sea, the sedan chair must have 6 people on each side, representing the Heavenly Generals.
There are also two lead path-clearing Turtle and Snake Generals wearing Turtle and Snake Hats.
Five dragon heads move dynamically at the front, symbolizing the five divine dragons, finally 36 people with painted faces representing the Thirty-Six Celestial Generals, the rest are people chanting, reciting the Three Purification Spells.
Firecrackers along the way to deter and repel evil spirits, creating a clean and quiet environment for the statue’s enlightenment.
This ritual will be even livelier than those wandering gods, truly bustling.
It’s just that for livelihood reasons, the Chen Family here does not have the capability or time to organize these, whereas those wandering gods have ’Main Family, Blessed Leader, Head of the Family’ funding them, participants are paid wages, provided benefits, free food and drink...
Those ’Main Family, Blessed Leader, Head of the Family...’ believe wandering gods will bring good fortune, make big money next year, so they hold it annually, there are people making fortunes there every year, wealthy ones want to show off, compete to be ’Main Family, Blessed Leader, Head of the Family...’
Also, wandering gods turn into high-profile activities, attracting many spectators, creating a significant impact.
Previously, Chen Family members all went out, wanted to hold such a ceremony but were powerless, now it’s different.
Furthermore, if the game task is accomplished, the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable’s blessing can manifest in reality, it truly would be a miracle.
Chen Han thought this over, returning to his courtyard, once inside, Youcai the dog rushed towards him, barking, urging him to remove the armor.
There was still a white light hovering over its back.
It’s because today he led the gang up Cyan Simurgh Peak again, hence there was Cyan-Feathered Pheasant Meat offered again.
He stored the meat in the warehouse, then removed the dog’s armor, entered the attic, took out a Spirit Stone to start cultivation.
This time, Demon Path demons invaded, and those leading Demon Path demons dropped two low-grade Spirit Stones, enough for cultivation for some time.
At this moment, his phone rang, it was from Captain Li from the county bureau, upon answering, Captain Li said: "Patriarch Chen, sorry to bother you so late at night, the case concerning the theft gang has been closed, the wanted criminals have been handed over, calling specially to thank you."
