Chapter 109 Ancestor Worship
Qingfeng Mountain, the ancestral hall of the Qi family.
The ancestral hall is surrounded by green trees, red bricks and green tiles. Outside the ancestral hall is a huge century-old tree, which bears witness to the rise and fall of the Qi family over hundreds of years.
The white jade strips laid on the ground shine with a warm light.
Outside the Ancestral Hall is a huge square, where thousands of monks have gathered at this moment. In addition to members of the Qi family, there are also many disciples of Elder Keqing.
In the ancestral hall, there are only six members of the Qi family, and even the elders of the Keqing in the foundation building period are not qualified to enter.
Hundreds of people gathered here with solemn faces.
The scene was solemn and sacred, and no tribesman dared to make fun of it on such an occasion.
In the middle of the altar, there is a portrait of an old man with an immortal spirit. It is the portrait of Qi Jiangren, the founder of the Qi family. Under the portrait, there are dozens of purple jade spiritual tablets.
General Qi died at the age of 231, and had reached the stage of foundation building. If he had not found the spiritual object of Zifu, he would not have had the chance to break through to the Zifu stage.
Although General Qi was born as a casual cultivator, he also created this huge foundation with his own efforts.
Later, in order to commemorate his achievements, the second generation patriarch hung his portrait here for future generations to worship.
As for the Purple Jade Spirit Tablet below, it is the foundation-building ancestor of the Qi family.
Only the ancestors of the Qi family who have passed away during the foundation-building period are eligible to be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
It can also be seen from here that during the eight hundred years of the Qi family, the inheritance of the Foundation Stage has never been cut off. Unfortunately, no one has been able to break through to the Zifu Stage and take the family one step further.
So much so that it was suppressed by the Black Water Sect for hundreds of years.
In terms of family history, the Qi family is actually longer than the Black Water Gate. Unfortunately, one step is slow and the other is slow.
The leader at the foot of the altar is an elderly monk with a kind appearance and a childish face.
This person is none other than Qi Yongren, the head of the Qi family. For some reason, Qi Yunxian always feels that this guy has aged a lot in just two years, and has a feeling of being sluggish.
Beside him were Qi Tianhe, the master of the law enforcement hall, and a female cultivator at the peak of the Qi refining stage who Qi Yunxian felt a little strange to.
After that, there are some old Qi-refining stage monks from the Qi family, several other hall masters, and the remaining foundation-building stage monks from the Qi family.
Finally, there are all the clan members of the six direct descendants of the Qi family, and Qi Yunxian is also among them.
Qi Yunxian looked around, but did not find Qi Tianming's figure. Could it be that he had not returned to Qi's house, otherwise why would he not be present at such a moment.
"Eight hundred and nineteen years have passed since the ancestor of our Qi family founded the clan. Currently, there are dozens of foundation-building monks in our clan, and there are 26 people who are at the peak of Qi training. Among them, There are six people who still hope to break through the foundation building period.”
Qi Yongren said slowly to everyone,
"It occupies two second-level islands and thirty-one first-level islands. These are all laid by the ancestors of our Qi family who have worked hard to lay the foundation. I hope that everyone will inherit the style of their ancestors and create new glory for our Qi family."
Following the custom of worshiping ancestors in previous years, Qi Yongren gave another long speech, which even shocked the power of spiritual consciousness, making the younger generation of the Qi family behind him feel excited and excited.
But Qi Yunxian didn't care about it. Looking at his cousin Qi Yunpeng beside him, who was eager to try, he almost laughed out loud.
Finally, after a long half hour,
Qi Yongren ended his passionate performance,
"Everyone, come with me to worship our ancestors, all together!"
As the leader Qi Yongren knelt down, others also knelt down towards the altar one after another.
After that, they successively paid homage to the foundation-building ancestors of the Qi family, and then the process of worshiping the ancestors was officially concluded.
The entire ancestor worship process of the Qi family was not very complicated. It lasted for an hour and was over. The most time-consuming thing was Qi Yongren's long speech before.
After the ancestor worship ceremony was completed, everyone followed the footsteps of the patriarch Qi Yongren to the square outside the ancestral temple.
The arena for fighting has been prepared long ago. There are ten arenas in total, each of which is more than a hundred feet in radius, enough for monks in the Qi Refining Stage to fight on.
On the square were the monks belonging to the branch of the Qi family who had been waiting for a long time, as well as some disciples of the elder Keqing. Zhao Xiaotang and Qing Erye from the Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce were also among them.
"This Qi family is really rich. The number of these low-level monks alone is far beyond what our two families can compare with."
Second Master Qing said with some sigh, although the Zhao and Qing families have monks in the late stage of foundation building, the number of monks in the family and the resources they can occupy cannot compare with the Qi family in front of them.
"That's natural. The Qi family monopolizes two second-level islands and has been a clan for eight hundred years. It has a longer history than the Black Water Sect. Of course, we cannot compare it. However, with the addition of the large and small forces of our Green Bamboo Chamber of Commerce, Together, it won’t be much worse than him.”
Zhao Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Everyone, survival of the fittest has always been the principle of the world of immortality."
"Today is the family competition. Everyone should strive to be the best and show your best. In this family competition, the family's new foundation-building seeds will be selected among the top ten."
"In the future, if there are foundation-building pills, unless there are special circumstances, they will be given priority to the family's foundation-building seeds. The branch of the first person in this competition will be directly promoted to the direct lineage for ten years, and during this period, the treatment will be the same as that of the six direct lineages. The pulse is the same.
If you are a direct lineage member, your treatment will be increased by 30% until the next family competition. "
As Qi Yongren finished speaking, cheers broke out on the field.
No one had expected such a reward before. This was a very good opportunity for the six major bloodlines. Compared with other side branches, the main bloodlines had a great advantage and were likely to occupy the top ten.
And the side branches were not without opportunities. After all, the victory or defeat of a battle was not just determined by the level of cultivation.
Qi Tianyu was calm when he heard this. He was not surprised by the news. As the leader of the younger generation of the Qi family, his only goal was to be the first.
"Brother! It's all my fault. If I hadn't been possessed by a ghost and taken your magic weapon, you would have a better chance of winning."
Qi Tianqi said with some guilt beside him,
"It's okay. It just so happened that my aunt sent me a top-grade magic weapon. With it, it doesn't matter if there are no body-binding chains. After all, the more top-grade magic weapons, the better."
Qi Tianyu said with relief, looking across the crowd and staring at Qi Yunxian.
He had thought that among the younger generation of the Qi family, the only one who could be his rival was that woman, but he didn't expect there was another Qi Yunxian. The most terrifying thing was that although this guy's cultivation was lower than his, his fighting power was not weaker than his.
