Chapter 247 - New Form of the Primordial World Entertainment
Chapter 247 New Form of the Primordial World Entertainment
W-What’s going on? When Ao Yi was supported by Li Changshou, the entire dragon was stunned. In the middle of the rear hall, it was the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du from Ren School who had appeared in the South Ocean! Zhao Gongming was on the left while Chi Jingzi on the right. There were also Perfected Huang Long, Heavenly Lord Qin Wan, Heavenly Lord Bai Li… Each of the three sects had sent their own mighty figures!
There were no strangers in the world, and they were all good friends!
Although not many experts from the three sects had arrived, and strictly speaking, there were only four or five disciples of the Saints, they had really high authority! At that moment, Ao Yi felt that he was not worthy of being the younger brother of his Brother Sect Master. As the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace and a Perfected Immortal of Jie School, he was really… embarrassing his brother!
However, Ao Yi heard a reprimanding voice.
“Brother Yi, why are you only here now?”
Ao Yi looked up at Li Changshou’s paper effigy incarnation. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Changshou’s voice transmission.
“Calm down and pay your respects. Then, invite the elders of the dragon race over for tea.”
Ao Yi hurriedly nodded. He first greeted Zhao Gongming, bowed to the Great Daoist Master, and turned around to greet the few mighty figures from Chan School.
The delicate and handsome young man with horns on his head bowed to the left and right. He kept shouting ‘Aunt-Master’ and ‘Uncle-Master’, thus attracting plenty of attention from people who turned to look at him…
They wanted to give him a few red packets. Heavenly Lord Qin Wan smiled and said, “This is a cultivator on Golden Ao Island. He is the disciple of the Great Black Clouds Immortal. He is also the Second Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Yi.”
Immediately, the immortals of Chan School praised Ao Yi for his etiquette and pleasantness. The immortals of Jie School praised Ao Yi for being handsome and having a stable foundation. Ao Yi felt a little embarrassed.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said, “Ao Yi, come forward.”
“Yes.” Ao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The Great Daoist Master took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and placed it in Ao Yi’s hand. He smiled and said, “I know that the dragon race does not lack treasures but this is a Cultivation Enhancement Spirit Pill refined by the Grand Elder. It’s also a rare item. You are the Second Sect Master of Changgeng, the Guardian of the Sea God Sect. Don’t neglect your cultivation level.”
Ao Yi suppressed his excitement and thanked the Great Daoist Master for his reward.
Li Changshou cast a faint gaze at him. The Great Daoist Master squinted and smiled, pretending not to see it.
The immortals on both sides were not stupid. Even for those who did not know the inside story of the Sea God Sect, most of them understood why Daoist Changgeng would invite the immortals from the three sects to attend the ceremony, after seeing the relationship between Ao Yi, the dragon race, and the Sea God Sect.
They reckoned that he should be trying to shock the arrogant dragon race. Not long after, Ao Yi invited a few elders of the dragon race to the rear hall to rest.
The elders of the dragon race were very calm. After all, they had seen all kinds of storms and had no interaction with the immortals of the three sects. They maintained the dignity and pride of the dragon race.
Before the second wave of the “manpower” from Chan School and Jie School arrived, the guests were almost all present.
Li Changshou calculated the time. When the sun rose in the east, he would bring the six Cloud Ascension Platforms above the Sea God Temple.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood up and smiled. “Everyone, please take a look at what Changgeng has prepared.” The immortals from the two sects stood up and followed behind Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. They floated out of the place and took their seats on the Cloud Ascension Platform.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, Zhao Gongming, Chi Jingzi, Perfected Huang Long, the ten Heavenly Lords, and the Goddess of Fire Spirit were arranged to be on a Cloud Ascension Platform alone.
The other immortals sat down according to their factions. The elders of the dragon race also occupied a Cloud Ascension Platform each.
Although compared to the dragon race’s meet and the wedding ceremony, the Sea God Sect’s ceremony… did seem a little shabby,
However, when the six cloud platforms flew out of Anshui City, the magnificent scene of a sea of people below was quite spectacular.
At that moment, six white clouds flew over. Immortal light lingered around them, and there were many people. The mortals below were all shouting the names of the Sea God and the immortals. Their voices were like a tsunami!
Soon, the six white clouds stopped. They were in front of the tall platform, which was the best “viewing” spot that Li Changshou had deduced.
Not long after, hundreds of experts from the dragon race arrived and sat on the cloud beside the cloud platform. Most of them sized up Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, Zhao Gongming, and the other experts from the Dao Sect curiously…
They did not want to succumb to him but they did not dare to not do so.
Li Changshou had built the platform that was 100 feet tall. It was made of soil and stone. There was a four-sided platform on it. It was 200 feet long and 200 feet wide. There were wide stairs on three sides of the platform.
There was a huge copper mirror on the south side of the platform. There were complicated array formations engraved on it. It was unclear what they were used for.
What… is the Sea God Sect doing?
The immortals from the two sects were confused. The dragon race was also curious.
“Chang… Geng?”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du called out. Li Changshou, who was standing at the back of the platform and giving instructions to the female musicians, hurriedly flew up on a cloud.
“I’m here.”
“What are you planning to do?”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “Are you going to preach the Dao here, or are you going to spread the teachings of the Sea God Sect to the mortals?”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Great Daoist Master, how would I dare to preach the Dao in front of so many people? The teachings of the Sea God Sect are only meant to encourage mortals to do good. It’s a joyous occasion today, so I specially prepared some dance performances to relieve the boredom of the seniors and fellow Daoists. I will also reward the devotees of the Sea God.”
The Great Daoist Master was instantly interested. “You know about these too?”
“I know a little.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ll go down and prepare now.”
The Great Daoist Master said, “Go ahead and do what you have to do. I’ll help you take care of this place.”
The immortals on the Cloud Ascension Platforms on both sides hurriedly said, “There’s no need to worry. They can do whatever they want.”
Make the Great Daoist Master serve tea and water?
That was a hosting rule that perhaps only the Purple Cloud Palace could have!
Li Changshou flew down and continued to be busy. As a ‘live director’, he still had to give guidance on the spot…
Soon, dozens of burly men carried drums, the zither, the lute, and the other musical instruments and placed them in two corners on the south side of the platform.
Soon after, the group of burly men stood in the middle of the platform. Their fists were crossed in front of their chests as they got into position. Although he looked calm on the surface, Li Changshou’s voice transmissions did not stop… “Watch your expression. You must smile and think about some happy things later!” “The one at the last corner is a little off. He’s three inches to the left!”
“You must remember that just like the previous practice, you have to use your strength appropriately. You have to be moderate. You are dancing, not fighting with the neighboring village!”
A few more musicians went up the platform. They were all mortal men and women, sitting in the corners and playing instruments. At that moment, Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk.
The huge bronze mirror gradually lit up. The restrictions and talismans on it were all activated, forming projections in the sky above the crowd. The sky gradually brightened. The forty-nine burly men arranged themselves in a formation. The musicians on both sides had already pressed the strings or picked up the flutes.
When a golden color appeared in the East Heaven, the Sun emerged from the East Ocean. A beam of golden light shone on the platform!
Li Changshou patted Ao Yi’s shoulder. Ao Yi took a deep breath and jumped up. He landed in the middle of the platform, raised the drumstick in his hand, and smashed it hard.
Dong!
The forty-nine burly men in red shirts stamped their feet and punched in unison. Although they were mortals, they had vigorous masculine strength!
The first burly man took half a step forward and shouted,
“Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey! Ah…” The trumpets sounded and the strings were played. Dozens of burly men began to dance together with the drums. Their movements were uniform and they kept changing the formation.
The people below immediately cheered. The eyes of the immortals on the cloud also lit up.
In the Primordial World then, a group of enchanting women dancing gracefully would come to mind at the mention of music and dancing. They were beautiful and delicate, and they created a hazy scene.
When Li Changshou was doing that, he did it out of a wicked interest. The opening song was adapted from an edited rendition of the ‘The Most Beautiful Worker’.
He had originally removed all the “programs” and felt that it was unnecessary. Who knew that so many immortals from the Three Sects would come today? In order to entertain those immortals well, Li Changshou added those programs…
After the dance, dozens of burly men panted and smiled sincerely. The mortals below cheered again. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. The effect was not bad…
Ao Yi stopped the hammer and drum, turned around, and jumped. His body turned into an azure dragon, and with the platform as the starting point, he flew around the huge venue and transformed into human form before landing on the platform.
The shouts of “Great Guardian” sounded from below.
Ao Yi cupped his hands and bowed. His figure was thrown into the sky above the crowd of humans.
“Hello, friends over there!
Friends in the mountains and in the sea, how are you!?!”
Countless voices swept over and chorused ‘good’ in unison.
Ao Yi raised his hand and pressed it down. The cheers quickly quietened down. Then, he heard the Second Prince of the dragon race shout loudly,
“The Sea God Sect is celebrating! Immortal friends and devotees gathered! Everyone gathered to celebrate the Sea God Ceremony. The Sea God was also watching in the sea. He sent me to celebrate with everyone! Everyone, don’t squeeze or make noise. If you are hungry or thirsty, you can find the food and water that we have prepared in your respective regions. If anyone tries to snatch or cause trouble, the Sea God will punish them! Did you hear me clearly?
The countless mortals below shouted in unison.
“Alright!”
Ao Yi smiled and answered. He stole a glance at the words on his palm and shouted,
“Next, the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect from Xiong Village, and the soldiers of the City Lord Residence of Anshui City will be putting on a huge show- The Human Race Floats And Sinks!
This is the trajectory that the ancestors of the human race have worked hard to achieve. They have also entrusted their hopes to the current human race!”
After announcing the results, Ao Yi jumped off the platform and heaved a long sigh of relief. He smiled happily at his Brother Sect Master.
Li Changshou raised his right fist and gave him a thumbs-up.
At that moment, seventeen or eighteen burly men dressed in short skirts made of animal hide and straw earrings rushed onto the platform. Each of them shouted ‘oh oh’.
That meant that the human race had just been blessed by Goddess Nuwa. They were ignorant on the ground and relied on harvesting and hunting to survive.
The accompaniment music and choreography were also ready-made— ‘Mount Tai Next Door
At that moment, the immortals, immortal dragons, and mortals below laughed.
On the other hand, the Great Daoist Master looked very emotional. There were some distant memories in his eyes…
Those were the lives of his brothers and sisters back then…
Ah, Changshou is too considerate.
After that set of dance, there would also be nineteen dance performances like ‘Drilling Wood to Start Fire’, ‘Ice Fire War Song’, ‘Taiji’, ‘World-Termination Flood’, ‘Three Kings and Five Emperors’. They were all adapted from the many major events that the human race had experienced since ancient times.
When the performance depicted the time when the human race was first established, humor was the main thing they did. When the human race suffered many calamities, the melody became deep and passionate. When the human race rose, the music instantly became magnificent and majestic…
Not long after, the Great Daoist Master called Li Changshou over.
Zhao Gongming, Perfected Huang Long, and the other immortals from the three sects surrounded him and asked Li Changshou excitedly how he had come up with those ideas. It was really interesting. Li Changshou could not directly say that those were copied from his previous life.
He said that his incarnation had traveled the mortal world and mixed many forms of performances by the mortal human race. He did not create such a story-telling dance. If the big shots were interested, he could also create some operas.
The immortals immediately praised him.
The first group dance reached one-third of the way. Two immortal clouds flew from the north and south respectively. Guang Chengzi of Chan School, Perfected Yu Ding, the Turtle Spirit of Jie School, Goddess Wudang, and more than a hundred Qi Refinement cultivators rushed over to join in the fun.
That was naturally because of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.
Xuan Du led Li Changshou to welcome them and arranged for the immortals to take their seats.
The dragon race’s position was slightly further away again…
After a while, a gray cloud flew over from the west.
There were a few muscular men standing in front, and behind them were hundreds of burly figures. They had just arrived from the Netherworld.
They frowned when they saw a few Magihumans performing a battle dance on the platform.
The Soul-Reaping Envoy, Ox-head, frowned and said, “How can we dance after the Magi!?!”
A general from the Netherworld poked Ox-head’s arm and raised his chin at the large group of people on the platform.
Ox-head took a closer look and immediately recognized a few of them. He carefully sensed the Dao runes that these experts had hidden and could not help but laugh awkwardly.
“Not bad. You’re making us proud!”
The group of Netherworld servants of the Magi race could not help but laugh.
Li Changshou flew over to welcome him. He reported to the Sea God of the South Ocean and mentioned his “good friend”, Li Changshou of the Immortal Du Sect.
Ox-head and the other Magi were very polite. They kept praising the Sea God and thanked the Sea God Sect for taking care of the Magihumans.
That was also the beginning of a relationship with the Netherworld.
The Magi liked to stand on the ground. Li Changshou had reserved a spot for them in advance. The arrival of the members of the Netherworld did not attract much attention.
The music in the South Ocean spread 50 kilometers away.
The Sea God Ceremony was filled with cheers and laughter.
When the group dance performance of ‘The Human Race Floats And Sinks’ ended, the atmosphere of the ceremony had already reached its climax.
There were also immortals from Jie School and Chan School who asked Li Changshou how he could perform such a group dance. Li Changshou could not explain it at that moment. He only said that he would discuss it with everyone after the celebration.
After the group dance, the two burly men jumped onto the high platform, picked up the chopping board, and started playing the gongs and drums. They began to perform the traditional songs of the Sea God Sect, ‘Praising the Sea God’.
They had already begun preparing for the next dance, ‘The Sea God, The Dragons and The Sea’. The content of the mass dance also included ‘Draw a Dragon On The Left’ and ‘If I Go Fishing, Will You Still Love Me’…
From dusk to the morning, the South Ocean was bustling with activity. The Sea God Ceremony was considered to be a new beginning
At that moment, at the South-Heaven Gate, the immortals and Heavenly Generals, who were alarmed by the commotion in the mortal world, could only wait quietly for the arrival of noon.
