Chapter 199 Ancient Heavenly Court, Ancestor God!
During the Ancient Heavenly Court period, before true methods of becoming a True God appeared, most cultivation techniques in the world were related to Ancestral Gods.
In this era, countless cultivators were like the Star Alliance cultivators.
They would devoutly kneel and worship the idols of Ancestral Gods, then observe the Ancestral Gods, and even visualize them.
What about the geniuses of the cultivation world?
The geniuses of this era were cultivators who could create new cultivation techniques by observing the Ancestral Gods!
The existing one hundred and eight True Gods were mainly created by the Ancestral Gods, with a small portion achieving it through the Ancestral Gods' blessings. They were tall and regarded as giants.
At this time, there was no distinction between the Human Race and the Demon Race, but regardless of whether they belonged to exotic beasts or humans, the cultivation techniques they practiced ultimately aimed to resemble the appearance of the Ancestral Gods.
The Ancestral God was like a towering tree, with lush branches and leaves.
These leaves were made up of individual cultivators.
However, when Lin Ning saw the cultivators in the Star Alliance, besides their devoutness, he felt a different kind of gaze and a different feeling.
This was the weakest force in the Ancient Heavenly Court, referred to as ants by the giants.
Yet, it was within this group of ants that powerful experts who would shake the starry sky were born in the future!
Lin Ning cautiously lingered, and he saw and truly felt the difference in the Star Alliance.
Ling Yi, Ling Gui, Holy Lord Yan Huang, and countless other cultivators, their devout gazes actually held greed and invincible confidence!
They were ambitious and unwilling to be controlled by the Ancestral Gods. They observed and learned from the Ancestral Gods to better become Ancestral Gods, and then surpass them.
Just like the leaves and branches on that towering tree, they originated from the main trunk, but on an unknown side, they hid their ambition, yearning to become the main trunk and replace it!
The kneeling and observation ceremony lasted for a long time, from night to day.
When the light of dawn arrived upon the Star Alliance land, the weak and the darkness were killed by the sunlight, along with those cultivators who feared the Ancestral Gods.
Ling Yi opened his eyes, let out a heavy breath, and looked at Lin Ning with a smile, saying, "Senior Brother Lin, have you also come to observe the Ancestral God?"
Lin Ning nodded slightly, "Sort of. Does Senior Brother Ling Yi have any insights?"
"Almost," Ling Yi made a gesture and continued, "I was just a little bit away from being able to visualize the appearance of the Ancestral God in my mind."
"Don't look at the Ancestral God's three heads and six arms, the difference between a God and a person is not that great."
Ling Yi raised his head, looked at the boundless sky, and said solemnly, "Don't look at how tall the Gods in the Heavenly Court are, don't they only have one life too?"
"Give me a little more time, and I will definitely surpass these Gods."
Ling Yi was full of confidence. The appearance of the Ancestral God could only be revered; he had never heard of anyone being able to imagine the Ancestral God's face in their mind.
The Ancestral God was not to be blasphemed. The laws of heaven and earth seemed to not allow any cultivator to fantasize about the Ancestral God's appearance in their mind.
However, Ling Yi felt that he was about to grasp it.
At noon, under the scorching sun.
Yan Huang Taichu was bare-chested, holding a wooden sword in his hand.
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and Yan Huang Taichu raised his hand. A terrifying sword light, accompanied by a dragon's roar, instantly enveloped the entire Star Alliance.
Yan Huang Taichu seemed to have entered a state of selflessness. His movements were incredibly agile, and when he shifted positions, his body could actually fold ninety degrees!
"Such fast footwork."
Watching Yan Huang Taichu's performance, Ji Jiuli was extremely surprised, covering her mouth with her jade-like hand to prevent others from seeing her失态.
"Husband, you just gave him a simple pointer yesterday, and in less than a day, he has such comprehension!"
Ji Jiuli was stunned.
Is this Holy Lord Yan Huang?
His comprehension ability is actually so strong!
No wonder he could become a Young True God at the age of sixteen!
"As expected, he didn't disappoint me," Lin Ning smiled. "This is the comprehension ability of Holy Lord Yan Huang. If he couldn't even comprehend what I said, he wouldn't have such abilities in the future."
"Senior Brother Lin!"
After demonstrating the sword technique he had comprehended, Yan Huang Taichu excitedly came before Lin Ning. He raised his head, like a child waiting for praise from an elder.
"Junior Brother, you are very impressive," Lin Ning said. "Remember Senior Brother's words, do not be impatient in cultivation. We must guard against arrogance and impatience, remain humble, and never stop improving."
"Junior Brother understands, thank you for Senior Brother's teachings." Yan Huang Taichu patted his chest, guaranteeing that he would never let temporary progress blind his mind.
Suddenly, a golden light descended upon the Star Alliance.
Everyone bowed their hands.
Ling Yi came beside Lin Ning and said, "Senior Brother Lin, the Heavenly Court banquet is approaching. This is the Heavenly Court sending a True God to guide us into the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ning understood. Looking at the golden light above, Lin Ning was curious, which True God would the Heavenly Court send down?
An old man walked out of the golden light. The newcomer wore a long robe, possessed an immortal aura and Daoist bones, and had an indifferent expression.
"Greetings, True God!"
"Greetings, True God!"
"......"
The people of the Star Alliance bowed one after another.
Lin Ning and Ji Jiuli stood still, not bowing to the True God.
Although the other party was a True God, was Lin Ning not one as well?
Why should a future person bow to someone from the past?
So many cultivators kneeling and bowing at the same time brought a rare smile to the old man's indifferent face.
However, when he discovered that there were still two people who did not bow, his face immediately turned gloomy.
"By the Ancestral God's divine decree, the Star Alliance is specially invited to enter the Heavenly Court to attend the Heavenly Court banquet."
"You select four people and immediately proceed to the Heavenly Court."
The old man didn't give the Star Alliance much time to think, only allowing four people to enter the Heavenly Court. It was unclear if this was revenge or something else.
"Thank you, True God."
Ling Yi cupped his hands. He didn't hesitate and quickly gave the list.
Ling Yi, Ling Gui, Lin Muli, Ji Jiu'er.
The two newcomers could directly enter the Heavenly Court to attend the banquet, which inevitably made some people in the Star Alliance feel uncomfortable.
However, when they thought of Lin Ning's swordsmanship and how Holy Lord Yan Huang made such great progress with just a casual pointer from him,
Many people didn't have any complaints.
Following the old man, Lin Ning and his group walked into the light and then appeared in the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court was vast, and the aura of Gods permeated everywhere.
Here, Ling Yi saw rare treasures they had never seen before, and even some immortal beasts could reach the Emperor Lord Perfected Realm.
If they could get guidance from the Ancestral God, they might even become True Gods! Become high and mighty Gods!
"As expected of the Heavenly Court, even immortal beasts are stronger than us," Ling Yi sighed.
Walking on the road, they suddenly saw a huge brown pillar.
"This pillar actually has divinity?"
Ling Yi's eyes widened, and the emotions in his heart were hard to calm.
The appearance of this Heavenly Court could shatter his worldview!
Suddenly, the pillar next to them moved.
"Where did these ants come from? Go away, I can't see you. Don't blame me for stepping on you later."
From above the pillar, a loud voice came, and the strong wind it stirred up almost made Ling Yi sprain his back.
Raising their heads, they realized that this was not a pillar, but someone's foot!
Above, that True God only sensed the presence of living beings below.
However, his body was too massive, and moreover, he was a True God, so it was impossible for him to lower his arrogant head to look at ants.
Thump thump thump!
The True God walked towards the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace, making thumping sounds along the way.
The Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace was the venue for the Heavenly Court banquet.
Watching True Gods pass by one after another, the brothers Ling Yi and Ling Gui couldn't help but tremble with fear. They were afraid of being accidentally stepped on by these True Gods.
"These True Gods, their bodies are actually so massive."
Ji Jiuli cautiously held Lin Ning's hand. The sense of oppression brought by these ancient True Gods was much more terrifying than that of Nether Heaven True God and the others.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Lin Ning gently stroked Ji Jiuli's jade-like hand, saying softly.
Under the guidance of the old man, Lin Ning and his group quickly arrived at the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace.
The Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace was very large, actually able to accommodate these one hundred and eight True Gods and the forces they brought.
It was only upon arriving at the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace that Ling Yi and the others realized how ridiculous and humble their Star Alliance seemed in the eyes of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
"Damn it, even these animals have seats, but only the four of us don't!"
A ball of anger rose in Ling Gui's heart.
"Little Brother, this is the Heavenly Court, do not get angry."
As a brother, Ling Yi knew his younger brother's personality well and quickly appeased his emotions.
If Ling Gui's emotions were not appeased, he might do something reckless and anger the Heavenly Court.
In the palace, enchanting immortal music flowed continuously, and after listening, people felt as if all fatigue had been lifted, their bodies felt light, as if they were receiving a baptism of immortal music.
The True Gods in the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace were constantly talking, and so were the forces they brought.
It was noisy everywhere, making the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace like a market.
Such a scene made Ling Gui's heart ache, and he murmured, "How could it be like this?"
"This is not the Heavenly Court I imagined!"
Suddenly, an exclamation sounded, instantly attracting the attention of countless people:
"My heavens! Who is she! I have never seen such a beautiful woman!"
As this voice sounded, countless people looked around and quickly focused on Ji Jiuli.
Yes, they had never seen such a beautiful woman. Ji Jiuli's appearance could no longer be described as merely beautiful; she was like a flawless work of art!
Even these True Gods of the Heavenly Court, after witnessing Ji Jiuli's true appearance with their own eyes, couldn't help but feel restless!
Their eyes glowed with golden light, and they looked at Ji Jiuli lecherously.
Being looked at by so many people with such gazes made Ji Jiuli very uncomfortable.
"May I ask which force Senior Sister belongs to? Where are you from?" a cultivator stepped forward to make conversation.
The surrounding people carefully examined the appearance of Lin Ning and his group. They were new faces, they had never seen them before.
"Fellow Senior Brothers, the four of us are from the Star Alliance."
Ling Yi took the initiative to introduce their identities, but they were ignored by the True Gods.
At this moment, the focus of the entire audience was on Ji Jiuli. How could they hear what others were saying?
"Has Senior Sister tasted the delicacies of the Southern Region?" a True God personally offered the delicacies of the Southern Region.
Upon seeing the 'delicacies', Ji Jiuli couldn't help but clench her fists.
The delicacies placed in front of her were actually from humans!
Yes, whether they were the innate True Gods of the Heavenly Court or the acquired True Gods from other regions, they mainly fed on ants.
And the ants of the True Gods were not animal ants, but weak races like the Human Race and the Demon Race!
The True Gods of the Ancient Heavenly Court fed on the weak Human Race, they tasted fresh blood, and casually slaughtered the Demon Race.
"Does Senior Sister not like this flavor?"
That True God saw that Ji Jiuli didn't eat and thought she didn't like the delicacies of the Southern Region.
Immediately after, he took out various other foods, like a fawning dog, hoping to get a response from Ji Jiuli.
However, the more he did this, the angrier Ji Jiuli became.
"Calm down, calm down." Ji Jiuli kept taking deep breaths, constantly reminding herself in her heart: "This is the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral God's territory, do not get angry casually."
"If I anger the Ancestral God, I will implicate my husband."
The other True Gods couldn't help but laugh heartily upon seeing this True God fail.
"Matul, with your burly appearance, it's probably hard for Senior Sister to like you."
The True Gods quickly reduced their bodies to about the same size as Ji Jiuli, but they still retained their wild appearance and physique.
"Unexpectedly, Senior Sister is from the Star Alliance," another True God stepped forward. "Thanks to Senior Sister, this is the first time we've heard of the Star Alliance."
"Presumably, this Star Alliance isn't a large force. Senior Sister, why not join our Absolute Shadow Mad Sect? We can help you become a True God."
Other True Gods tried all sorts of ways to strike up a conversation with Ji Jiuli.
"Senior Brother, you are in danger," Ling Yi reminded him from the side. "So many True Gods have taken a liking to Senior Sister. They are too enthusiastic and their temperament is very unique, which might have a great impact on you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ning smiled, "No need to worry."
These True Gods were burly and their physiques were strong, but their appearances were not good-looking.
Lin Ning was very relieved.
With their appearance, even if they were discarded as toys, no one would pick them up.
So what if they are True Gods?
Ugly!
Lin Ning came to Ji Jiuli's side, took her hand, and raised it, saying, "Fellow Senior Brothers,玖儿 and I are already engaged. Senior Brothers, please do not disturb us."
Upon hearing this, the Gods stared at Lin Ning, looking as if they wanted to devour him alive.
You little brat stole my goddess?
Are you worthy?
The Gods used their abilities, wanting to sense Lin Ning's strength.
However, they found that no matter what methods they used, they could not detect Lin Ning's realm.
For a time, the atmosphere on the scene became very subtle, and no one spoke.
Clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang!
The melodious sound of bells echoed in the Divine Firmament Unrestrained Palace, breaking this deadlock.
When the Gods heard the melodious bell sound, their expressions changed, and they bowed with extreme piety, as if some great figure was about to appear.
A majestic figure suddenly appeared in the center of the palace.
"Welcome, Ancestral God!"
"Welcome, Ancestral God!"
The True Gods bowed one after another.
After the three-headed, six-armed Ancestral God appeared, he displayed his powerful abilities.
Streaks of holy light descended.
"Ancestral God's Blessing!"
The cultivators' eyes widened. They temporarily cast Ji Jiuli aside, their gazes fixed on that golden light.
This was the Ancestral God's Blessing!
It was enough to turn those Emperor Lord Perfected Realm experts directly into True Gods!
"Today, I have invited you all to the Heavenly Court to discuss the method of becoming a True God," the Ancestral God's voice came. "Whoever can comprehend the method of becoming a True God will be greatly rewarded!"
