Chapter 1205: Rotating Chakra Ceremony

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.

In February, the spring was approaching in Youzhou Province.

Since last night, the entire Embracing Tiger City had been boisterous. Embracing Tiger City had not been so boisterous since it was founded. The commoners in Embracing Tiger City had not seen so many airboats in the sky.

On the early morning of February 2nd, the clan warriors of Huaiyuan Palace had appeared in the streets of Embracing Tiger City in wholly new armors and helmets and festive red cloaks. The moment they appeared in the public, the entire Embracing Tiger City had been boisterous.

Before the day broke, many commoners had gathered at the foot of Tiger Embracing Mountain. They all looked up at the top of the mountain. Most of these commoners were members of Huaiyuan Palace, male or female, old or young. Many people especially arrived here from all the other places across Youzhou Province for attending the Rotating Chakra Ceremony. Given their identities, although they were forbidden to enter Tiger Embracing Mountain, they were still passionate and proud.

Huaiyuan Palace finally had another earth knight. This was the major event for each member of Huaiyuan Palace. The more knights a clan had, the more powerful it would be, the more glorious and decent would the descendants of this clan be and the greater the chances they would have for development.

The entire Huaiyuan Palace had not held Rotating Chakra Ceremony for an earth knight for many years.

Although Zhang Taixuan the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace promoted to an earth knight a few years ago, as he was already the Youzhou provincial governor at that time, his rotating chakra ceremony was forbidden according to the regulation of Taixia Country’s officialdom.

However, this time, the rotating chakra ceremony was held for Elder Mushen, the youngest elder in Huaiyuan Palace.

Elder Mushen’s experience was legendary; especially after the tragedy in Fuhai City was redressed, Elder Mushen was well-known across Youzhou Province, even in Taixia Country.

Outsiders might not know who was the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace; however, they must have heard about Zhang Tie, Zhang Mushen.

Many commoners didn’t know that Elder Mushen had returned to his clan until the last couple of days. A more shocking news was that Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit of Iron-Dragon Sect was an incarnation of Elder Mushen. What was more, Elder Mushen had awakened a unique immortal bloodline.

Elder Mushen, who had been screwed for 4 years, had returned to Huaiyuan Palace; additionally, he had promoted to an earth knight and awakened up a unique immortal bloodline. Even though the catastrophe of bloody figures was still like a raging fire across Taixia Country, the news about Zhang Tie still shocked the entire country. This was why Embracing Tiger City was so boisterous today too. All the major clans across Youzhou Province, the entire Northeast Military Region even the Military Province in the far had assigned representatives to attend the Rotating Chakra Ceremony in Tiger Embracing Mountain.

Besides those major clans, 4 of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country had assigned representatives here today, they were Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Gold and Power Law, Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons Killing Valley.

Even Lord Guangnan’s Mansion in the southwest of Taixia Country had assigned a royal highness to attend the Rotating Chakra Ceremony.

What was more exaggerating was that even Supreme Court of Xuanyuan Hill and Northeast Military Region who didn’t like to attend similar ceremonies had assigned important officials to attend it.

At this moment, the Tiger Embracing Mountain was covered with knights and VIPs. Major clans’ representatives arrived one batch after another.

It was the most glorious moments in the history of Huaiyuan Palace, even when Lord Huaiyuan was alive. Such an occasion had been as grand as top major clans in Taixia Country.

At the foot of Tiger Embracing Mountain, those descendants of Huaiyuan Palace were so thrilled. Someone even dropped off tears. As a result, the prestige of Elder Mushen who brought all these to Huaiyuan Palace reached a new high among the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace.

Being similar to the situation at the foot of the mountain, the square outside the Ancestral Shrine Palace of Huaiyuan Palace in Tiger Embracing Mountain was also extremely boisterous.

This time, over 2,000 VIPs were at present.

All the influential clans in Youzhou Province had assigned their representatives here, including those clans which had attended the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect, Zhang Tie’s disciples, Mountain Lifting Hermit, representatives of Zhao Clan and Yang Clan in Military Province, the couple of Lu Zhongming and their disciples, the representatives of the other major sects and Supreme Court of Taixia Country and the royal highness of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, etc..

Zhang Tie’s family members also appeared in the square outside the Ancestral Shrine Palace. As the family members of the main character of this Rotating Chakra Ceremony, of course, they could also attend this Rotating Chakra Ceremony and share Zhang Tie’s glory. Zhang Tie’s parents, elder sisters-in-law, Zhang Yang, his nephews, Linda, Beverly, Fiona, Aimei and Aixue, Zhang Tie’s kids, Zhang Tie’s grandparents, Zhang Tie’s uncles, aunts and cousins were present in a rich dress while sitting square and enjoying the gaze of thousands of people.

Linda, Beverly and Fiona were most attractive among Zhang Tie’s wives. Many people in Youzhou Province and Northeast Military Region had heard that Zhang Tie had three foreign wives; however, very few people had met them. It was the first time for Linda, Beverly and Fiona to show up in the public. Among those people with black hair and eyes, of course, the three foreign women were eye-catching.

Linda, Beverly, Fiona, Aimei and Aixue had prepared almost one week for this day. At this moment, all the 5 women had dressed up well and were in the grandest ceremonial robes. Being brilliant, elegant and beautiful, they were all full of pride and arrogance while their kids were sitting in front of them.

“Ahh, do we look like the legendary duchesses?” Fiona whispered to Linda and Beverly.

Beverly and Linda revealed a faint smile towards her at the same time...

“If in Waii Subcontinent, even queens and princesses of ordinary countries might have to bow to us!” Beverly tilted her head as she whispered to Fiona, “We illustrate the line that Hua wives are precious because of their husband!”

“Those girls in Rose Association dare never imagine our current looks!” Fiona stealthily stuck her tongue out. When others paid attention to her, she hurriedly pretended to be elegant once again.

As Fiona and Beverly knew that there were many knights at present, they just whispered in the Hebrew language. After coming to Taixia Country, they found that Hua people wouldn’t like to learn the Hebrew language except for some businessmen. Hua people were too arrogant. Zhang Tie was the only Hua knight who could speak the Hebrew language in their memory. In that age, Hua language almost dominated the human language. Therefore, people could barely understand what they were talking about even if they eavesdropped their talk.

At this moment, Zhang Tie’s glorious moments were Zhang Clan’s glorious moments.

This scene was not strange for Zhang Tie’s relatives on the side of his grandpa. However, it was the first time for his parents and wives to experience such an eye-catching grand occasion. When Zhang Tie held his first rotating chakra ceremony in Yiyang City, his family members had already arrived at Taixia Country. They were in Fuhai City, Yingzhou Province. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s family members could only see the boisterous scene in the first rotating chakra ceremony through the photos left by the private photographers of Zhang Clan. However, all of them could experience such a grand and fervent clan rite at present this time.

As the ceremony had not come to a start yet, the auditorium of over 2,000 people was not quiet. Many guests were whispering to each other while stealthily glancing around the most glorious family at present.

Zhang Tie’s dad looked a bit intense with a faint blush. Sitting in the first row with the old man, Zhang Ping’s muscles all over tightened up as he smoothened his clothes corners every now and then. It was still a bit cold in February; however, Zhang Ping’s forehead and temples had been covered with fine sweat beads only after he took a seat for a short while.

“Papa, it’s okay. Just feel like home. It’s Zhang Tie who will come out, not others. Don’t be that nervous!” Zhang Yang slightly leaned forward as he comforted his dad in a low voice.

Zhang Ping turned around with a smile. Meanwhile, he moved his stiff neck and told Zhang Yang, “I don’t know why. I always feel like living in a dream. It was fine at home; however, when I come here, I always feel dizzy!”

“Zhang Tie is your son, no need to be that anxious. You have a good son. It’s worthwhile for my life to witness my grandson holding 2 rotating chakra ceremonies...” The old man in the first row let out a sigh satisfactorily before continuing, “You might see such a rotating chakra ceremony for the 3rd or the 4th time in the future. They would grow increasingly grander. But I’m afraid that I cannot wait until Zhang Tie holds his 3rd rotating chakra ceremony. However, I would have no regret anymore after this ceremony, ahem...ahem...”

The old man couldn’t stand coughing twice as he lowered his upper body at once. Zhang Tie’s eldest uncle hurriedly patted the old man’s back. However, the old man stopped him by raising his hand. Closely after that, the old man straightened up his body as he waved his hand to tell the surrounding family members that he was fine.

“Papa, don’t say so. Zhang Yang has bought an isle in the south, which only has spring all around the year. The winter in Youzhou Province is a bit cold and does harm to old man’s health. Later on, you can pass the winter in the south!” Zhang Ping hurriedly comforted the old man.

“I’m clear about my health...” The old man revealed a smile with a faint blush, which indicated that he was spirited. He then added, “Additionally, I always dreamed about Zhang Tie’s grandma these days. Previously, when I dreamed about his grandma, I couldn’t see her face clearly; these days, her look grew increasingly clearer...”

After hearing the old man’s words, all the family members in front rows exchanged a glance with each other. Zhang Tie’s eldest uncle then called lightly, “Papa...”

“Everyone will die, don’t be afraid of that day. It’s the universal law and the metabolism of our Zhang family...” The old man waved his hand in an imposing manner, stopping everyone’s further comfort. Although being poor in health, the old man’s dignity in Zhang family was sacred. He said, “Alright, don’t talk about that. It’s Zhang family’s festive day. I want to see my grandson’s glorious moments in the public...”

...

All the VIPs formed a small fan-shaped area around the venue. On the opposite of Zhang family’s seats were sitting Bai Suxian and another man.

That man looked a bit elder than Bai Suxian. In boa silk robe and jade belt and a crow being embroidered with two dragons playing with a ball, he looked similar to Bai Suxian. However, his face was a bit broader. He looked a bit resolute, noble and dignified with two beautiful masculine black beards and a pair of dark, profound and sparkling pupils.

“4 of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country and 7 provincial governors’ clans of Northeast Military Region are at present. Even Demons Killing Valley assigned people here. The elders of Qin Clan and Fan Clan in Yingzhou Province arrived here too. Young sister, you’re really visionary. Zhang Tie is indeed unusual. No wonder he could be so famous across Taixia Country only after coming to Taixia Country for a few years!” The royal highness of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion glanced around Zhang Tie’s wives and kids while talking to Bai Suxian in a secret way who was sitting on his side with a mature, fascinating smile, “What counts more, Zhang Tie’s wives are all commoners. If you marry him, you might still have a right of speech in Zhang Tie’s family. If so, dad will be reassured. I’m not here in vain...”

“Cut the crap. It’s none of your business. Have you carried enough gifts?” Bai Suxian replied ferociously in a secret way while maintaining the demeanor of a princess with a smile.

“2,000 water-element crystals, 20 million gold coins, 2,000 pairs of jade ivories and earth-element rhino horns, 2,000 cases of gems, 5,000 kg starry violet gold, 200,000 kg top-class sandalwood, 2,000 cases of various top-class medicines and tribute tea in the south border, 80,000 m gold boa silk cloths, 2,000 domestic craftsmen who were trained as men of sacrifice and Heavenly Star City near the Heavenly Star Lake in the south border. The old guy dispatched 6 purple-cloud airboats to transport these gifts from the southern border. It seems that this old guy is satisfied with this son-in-law...”

“So few...” Bai Suxian pouted as she said discontentedly.

After hearing Bai Suxian’s words, the royal highness of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was choked by his saliva as he started to cough at once, arising the attention of those people on their sides.
