The line stretched as far as the eye could see, and even after the ceremony began, people continued to climb.

There were guards maintaining order along the way.

The path paved by the gods is friendly to the elderly, allowing them to reach the summit effortlessly. However, for those with impure intentions and who have committed many evil deeds, it feels like they can hardly even take a single step.

Those who struggled to climb the ladder slunk away, shunned by the strange looks they received.

For ordinary people, it's just like climbing a mountain normally.

Foreign envoys were also in the procession, and only then did they realize that the immortals had arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This miraculous skill was something no ordinary person could accomplish.

Gods are omniscient and omnipotent.

People throughout the land who are unable to travel to the capital have also received orders from officials in various regions to begin prayers today.

By the time everyone reached the mountaintop, it was already noon, and the ceremony was at its most crucial moment.

The Yellow Emperor shouted, "I pray to the gods to send down sweet rain and save the people from their suffering!"

The people behind him all knelt down and prayed.

"Pray for divine protection to save all people under heaven."

The sound echoed in the air.

At midday, when the sun is at its strongest, people feel dizzy from the heat.

A gust of wind blew by, and people felt cool and comfortable all over.

A dazzling light appeared on the horizon, surrounded by auspicious clouds.

A goddess dressed in a moon-white flowing fairy dress descended from the sky, with a seven-colored blue phoenix spreading its wings and flying around her, followed by a fairy attendant in green robes.

The goddess was surrounded by a faint golden light, emanating a sacred power.

It makes people bow down and submit to it.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

A mysterious force lifted everyone up.

"I am the Rain God, who has descended to earth to save the people. Today, I will send down sweet rain to relieve the suffering of the masses."

A voice, ethereal and imbued with a mysterious power, rang out, audible for miles around.

"Thank God for His grace in saving us from danger."

"Thank you for the protection of the immortals."

Bai Qingqing directly used a complex set of hand gestures that looked mysterious to others to cast a spell.

The wind rose and the clouds surged, and the rain poured down.

All the plants and trees on the mountainside are visibly growing faster and are blooming with beautiful flowers.

Suddenly, a majestic dragon's roar resounded.

"What's that sound? It sounds like a dragon."

"Really? We can even see dragons."

The people on the ground were so excited that their faces turned red.

A golden dragon appeared, its body covered in golden scales, its wings like clouds, and its eyes flashing with lightning-like light. It soared through the sky, looking down at the earth, as if the world was under its control.

"Ah, it really is a dragon, Dad, look!"

A child excitedly patted the arm of the person next to him.

Those around them were already too shocked to react.

The Yellow Emperor was also excited, for he had actually seen a dragon and two mythical beasts.

Xuanyuan Chengyu watched intently, feeling as if he were dreaming. The dragon in mythology had always been a coveted and mysterious existence.

Xuanyuan Yuan was also surprised, not expecting that the dragon had also come. He had heard that the dragon could summon wind and rain.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and melodious sound rang out.

A dazzling flame danced in the sky, its heavenly sound soothing and delightful.

“It’s a phoenix.” Princess Xuanyuan Yulan’s voice was filled with surprise.

The Empress looked on with delight.

"The phoenix is ​​so beautiful."

"I've really had an eye-opening day."

It felt unbelievable that a mysterious creature from mythology had suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The dragon and phoenix bring good fortune; it's an auspicious sign.

The ministers knelt down to offer their congratulations: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Great Zhou Dynasty is in full bloom!"

The people also knelt down: "May the Great Zhou Dynasty prosper and last ten thousand years!"

Emperor Xuanyuan Zhen was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Excellent! The world of our Great Zhou is in a state of prosperity, and the whole country is celebrating!"

Today was quite a surprise for everyone.

Bai Qingqing returned home when the dragon appeared.

Let the mythical beasts perform to their hearts' content; this is a one-time performance rewarded by the system space.

"System, how's the faith points collection going?"

"Congratulations, host, you have completed two-thirds of the objective."

The speed is quite fast, and there's still plenty of time; enough time to collect everything.

A grand banquet was held in the palace, and Bai Qingqing was invited to attend.

Yunshang: "Master, the Emperor has invited you to a banquet."

Bai Qingqing: "I understand, I will go and take that trip."

Yunshang received the news and returned to the ground.

Xiao Dezi was still waiting for news: "Fairy Yun, will the Immortal Lord be attending the banquet?"

Yunshang: "Master said she will go."

"Very well, I will report to the Emperor right away." Xiao Dezi happily returned home, thinking that this news would surely bring a smile to the Emperor's face.

Back to Lingxiao Palace.

The Emperor was still talking to the Third Prince, and Xuanyuan Zhen planned to announce Feng Yu'an as the Crown Prince at this banquet.

Upon hearing the announcement, Xiao Dezi returned.

"Let him in."

Xiao Dezi walked in with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Third Prince, the Immortal said he will attend the banquet."

Xuanyuan Zhen was pleased: "Good, the banquet must be held well and there can be no mistakes."

Xiao Dezi: "This servant obeys the decree."

Xuanyuan Yu'an was also happy, as he could see Qingqing again.

*

After the sacrificial ceremony, those who received the sweet rain felt better and kowtowed in gratitude towards the direction of the divine palace every day.

The appearance of the dragon and phoenix, and witnessing the divine splendor, became a household name in the capital.

People discuss it heatedly every day.

The storyteller in the restaurant described the scene vividly.

It spread to various places and had many different versions.

*

At the palace banquet, cups were clinked, songs and dances filled the air, and people drank and chatted merrily.

Everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the deity.

Seeing that the immortal had not yet arrived and was unsure whether he would come, the Yellow Emperor announced the prepared imperial edict in advance.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Third Prince, Xuanyuan Yu'an, possesses both virtue and talent, is naturally intelligent, and has outstanding character. He is suitable to inherit the throne. It is the will of Heaven. Therefore, in accordance with the initial edict, the rites, and the public sentiment, he is hereby appointed as the Crown Prince and placed in the Eastern Palace to ensure the continuation of the dynasty for ten thousand years and to reassure the hearts of the people. This is the imperial decree."

"Your Highness, please accept the decree," Xiao Dezi said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Yu'an stepped forward to receive the imperial decree: "Your subject receives the decree and thanks Your Majesty for living ten thousand years."

Xuanyuan Zhen looked at him with eyes full of satisfaction: "Get up. From now on, you should help me handle state affairs more often."

"My son, I obey."

Some people rejoice, others worry.

Consort Chen smiled, but her hands were clenched tightly.

The Fourth Prince smiled freely: "Congratulations, Third Brother! From now on, you will be the Crown Prince Third Brother."

Xuanyuan Yu'an said calmly, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."

Consort Shu continued to eat and drink without being affected.

Jiang Fei's expression was a little unpleasant, but the others couldn't tell what it was.

The Empress, the Third Prince, and the Eldest Princess's family were all happy.

The Empress was the Emperor's cousin and childhood sweetheart, so they could be said to be from the same family and had always had a deep bond.

The ministers were already prepared and offered their congratulations.

Xuanyuan Yuan agreed. On this joyous day, everyone congratulated him, but he most wanted to hear Qingqing congratulate him.

Just as he thought of Qingqing, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Yunshang appeared at the banquet, standing behind the table specially prepared for the host.

Seeing Yunshang, everyone knows that the immortal is coming.

People who get caught in the rain feel comfortable all over and full of energy.
