Chapter 826: The People of the World Kneel and Invite the Dao Ancestor to the Temple! (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yun’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears, alerting them. These words were to regulate their words and actions. It was also the law of stability after Great Xia entered the cultivation world. Soon, everyone cupped their hands and bowed sincerely to Su Yun. They said in unison, “All the cultivators will remember what the Dao Ancestor said!”
This title made Su Yun frown slightly. Ever since Su Yun’s first sermon, he had been hailed as a Dao Ancestor and a master of all spells. Su Yun had never admitted it, though. From his point of view, what he was doing now was not worthy of such a title.
But today, everyone sincerely called him the Dao Ancestor. It was enough to show that the position of Dao Ancestor was what everyone wanted. Even though Su Yun had never thought of himself as such, everyone already regarded him as the ancestor of all techniques.
Looking at everyone, Su Yun quickly walked to the side and gave way to the monolith forest behind him. “All cultivators will officially become cultivators after kowtowing three times to the ancestors. Today, please bear witness. All cultivators, bow!”
After Su Yun finished speaking, no one present bowed to the stele forest. They just stood there motionless, looking at the ground. No one moved. Not to mention them, even Big Head Yang and Lin Xiao, who had always been silent, were standing in the crowd at this moment and did not react at all.
Seeing this scene, Su Yun’s eyes flashed with thought.
“Cultivators, why? Could it be that you think that they can’t accept your bow?”
Su Yun’s voice was dignified without being angry. Immediately, everyone felt a great pressure assault them. This pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing down. Many reporters in the distance felt a little uncomfortable.
The Daoist priest of the Wudang Sect, who was standing at the front of the team, slowly took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Su Yun. However, he did not straighten his back. His tone was also very respectful.
“Dao Ancestor, may I ask why there is no Dao Ancestor’s name in this stele forest?”
When Su Yun heard that, he immediately said, “The people in the stele forest are all ancestors who have entered the supernatural state. This Ancestral Court of Transcendence is specially built for the ancestors. What’s there to doubt?”
Soon, the Quanzhen Sect’s old Daoist priest who had replaced the previous one who guarded the Tomb of the Living Dead quickly walked out. He bowed to Su Yun and said, “Dao Ancestor, I saw Grandmaster Wang Chongyang’s name in the Ancestral Court of Transcendence. It should be an honor for the entire Quanzhen Sect. As a disciple, I should respect my master. However, the reason for this ceremony was to announce to the world that all cultivators had entered the Dao. If the Dao Ancestor is not in the stele forest, what’s the meaning of this ritual?”
More and more people stood up and expressed their thoughts.
Su Yun finally understood that everyone hoped that his name would appear in the Ancestral Court of Transcendence. Otherwise, their salutation master would be nameless. However, Su Yun had different thoughts about this. He looked at the people in front of him and slowly said, “Cultivators, in this stele forest, any ancestor has left a treasure for their descendants. Doctor Zhang Zhongjing laid the foundation of the Chinese medicine lineage for the future.
“Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect and passed down the seeds of Dao from generation to generation. Lao Tzu had established the meaning of the Dao and let everyone ‘know’ and ‘hear’ the Dao. It’s the same for the other ancient sages. Only then can they enter this stele forest and be respected by their descendants.”
Just as Su Yun finished speaking, the Wudang Sect Master said sincerely, “Dao Ancestor, that’s why we hope that you can enter the temple and be respected as the master of all techniques and the ancestor of all Dao!”
“That’s right!” The old Daoist priest also said excitedly, “Dao Ancestor, you spread out your cultivation techniques and opened up the cultivation path. You led us into the Dao. This is something that no one in the past can compare to.
“I’ve cultivated for my entire life, but I didn’t gain as much as I did after following you into the Dao for a few hours. We have been searching for Dao all our lives. If not for the Dao Ancestor preaching, we would probably still be blind. So the fact that this temple doesn’t have the name of a Dao Ancestor, it’s not tolerated by the world!”
More than a hundred people knelt on the ground and cupped both hands. They said in unison, “Dao Ancestor, please enter the temple and engrave the Dao Ancestor’s tablet. Otherwise, we will worship the Ancestral Court of Transcendence with disrespect!”
The pleas of more than a hundred people echoed in the mountains for a long time.
This scene was too shocking, but it echoed the thoughts of everyone in the world. In the comments section, the netizens were also indignant and had their own opinions.
“There’s no Dao Ancestor’s name in the Ancestral Court of Transcendence. Why are you bowing?”
“That’s right! We can respect our ancestors, but this Ancestral Court of Transcendence is the origin of Dao. Without a Dao Ancestor, how can there be an ancestral court?”
“I ask the Dao Ancestor to enter the temple. Otherwise, I will definitely not go to the ancestral court in the future!”
“Agreed! It’s our responsibility as long as the Dao Ancestor doesn’t enter the temple!”
The netizens were also very excited. In their opinion, if the ancestral court did not have Su Yun’s name, it would completely lose its meaning.
Zhao Guofeng, who was watching this ceremony through the livestream, was also standing there with his hands behind his back and looking at the screen meaningfully. Beside him were the other higher-ups of the military.
“Old Zhao, what do you think about this?”
They all knew that Zhao Guofeng was familiar with Su Yun, so they hoped to hear his opinion on this matter.
