691 – Douluo Hall Master
When they arrived at the Tang Sect again, they were seven. Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui, who had lived in Shrek City, had no problem joining the Tang Sect. They had grown up listening to the legends of the Tang Sect.
Qian Lei and Liu Feng followed Lan Xuanyu’s lead and didn’t have any objections. Lan Mengqin said that she would listen to Bai Xiuxiu and she would join if she chose to.
The seven of them reached an agreement after exchanging a few words. They contacted Deng Bo and arrived at the Tang Sect headquarters on the same day.
Deng Bo brought them into the Tang Sect headquarters once again. Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui had been here before, so they felt fine. But to Liu Feng, Qian Lei, and Lan Mengqin, they had experienced the same shock that Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu felt.
They went straight into the main hall and passed through a long corridor. In front of them was a huge hall.
The huge arch was 15 meters tall and when Deng Bo arrived at the door, his expression turned extremely respectful.
“This is our Tang Sect’s Hall of Heroes. Only the most outstanding members of the Tang Sect in history are allowed to be honored here. There are very few newcomers who are allowed to hold a ceremony here after joining the Tang Sect. To be honest, I envy all of you. Please come in.” As he spoke, Deng Bo tapped on the arch.
The huge arched door slowly opened, revealing a huge hall.
An unprecedented sense of antiquity and solemnity immediately spread out from the inside, causing Lan Xuanyu and the rest to clearly feel the tremors in their hearts.
The door opened and the interior became brighter.
Two rows of gigantic stone pillars extended inwards and five-meter tall stone sculptures appeared on both sides. They were carved to perfection. Not only were they humanoid, but each of them also had the unique characteristics of their Martial Soul.
Lan Xuanyu quickly saw some familiar faces among these statues because he had seen similar statues in Shrek Academy before. These should be the ancestors of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
Lan Xuanyu slowly walked into the hall and his heart trembled slightly. Invisibly, he felt strange spiritual fluctuations in the hall. These spiritual fluctuations felt noble and carried his spiritual aura as though it was sublimating.
He seemed to be able to see and hear everything that these Tang Sect ancestors had done for the Tang Sect.
He continued forward and saw the largest statue inside. It was right in front of him, standing at the innermost side.
It was the founder of the Tang Sect, the Sea God Tang San.
This Sea God was dressed in golden armor and had long blue hair that draped down his back. He looked to be in his twenties and was painted all over, making him look like a real person. A gigantic statue that was over 10 meters tall held a golden trident and had a faint smile on its face as though it was looking at him.
On both sides of Sea God Tang San were two gigantic statues that were also 10 meters tall. The person on the left had a vertical eye on his forehead and there were six smaller statues around him. One of them had a white silkworm shape on his shoulder and had golden rings around his body. The most eye-catching were two women. One was dressed in white while the other was dressed in green.
All six statues surrounded him.
Although it was Lan Xuanyu’s first time seeing this statue, everyone could guess its origin.
This person was once one of the Shrek Seven Monsters and was also one of the major actors behind Tang Sect’s revival. He was also the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao who created the Spirit Soul system. It was said that he had also become a god. There were also rumors that he was the son-in-law of the Sea God Tang San and his wife was the daughter of the Sea God Tang San who was playing in the lower realm.
The one on his shoulder should be the legendary 1,000,000-year soul beast, a 1,000,000-year cultivation that even the Beast God Di Tian had yet to reach, the extremely weak Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. The green and white figures should be two members of the Ten Great Beasts of that generation, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Heavenly Snow Woman.
One must know that the Heavenly Snow Woman’s ranking was even higher than the Emerald Swan Bi Ji.
Lan Xuanyu and the others had seen the statue on the other side of the Sea God Tang San. It looked exactly the same as the Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin wielding the Golden Dragon Spear and wearing his Four-Word Battle Armor.
The golden mask covered most of his handsome face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. Lan Xuanyu didn’t know why, but when he looked into his eyes, he felt a tinge of sadness.
There was no doubt that these three were the most important existences in Tang Sect’s history. Among them, Sea God Tang San and Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin were once Tang Sect’s Sect Master.
Only they were qualified to stand at the main seat of the Hall of Heroes.
A ray of light descended from the sky and a figure appeared in front of Lan Xuanyu’s team. It wasn’t Tang Miao whom Lan Xuanyu had seen before, but a stranger.
He looked to be in his twenties, handsome and dressed in white. His long black hair hung loosely behind his head. Compared to Tang Miao, he was less elegant but more heroic. His entire body seemed to emit an invisible glow.
He landed in front of those three gigantic statues and smiled. “Come closer.”
Lan Xuanyu’s group of seven quickly walked forward. Lan Xuanyu was in the middle while the other six people stood by his sides.
The man in white smiled. “I am the Tang Sect’s Vice Sect Master, Douluo Hall’s Hall Master Meng Fei. Welcome to the Tang Sect and to the Tang Sect.”
Douluo Hall Master? A rank higher than Tang Miao, that must be a god-rank powerhouse!
“Greetings, Hall Master.” Lan Xuanyu and the others quickly bowed.
Meng Fei smiled. “We’ll be a family in the future, there’s no need for formalities. This is our Tang Sect’s Hall of Heroes, and we welcome all of you here to train in the future.”
‘Train?’ Lan Xuanyu was stunned. ‘How do we train here?’
Meng Fei did not explain and said, “The ceremony will begin now. I will read the rules of the Tang Sect first, please listen carefully and remember it in your hearts.”
“The first rule of the Tang Sect is to stop raping and pillaging. The second rule is to stop injustice. The third rule…”
As he spoke, his expression turned solemn.
The Tang Sect’s rules were very orthodox, and Lan Xuanyu and the rest took note of it.
“The sect rules have been read. Next, all of you can bow to the Tang Sect’s three ancestors.” As he spoke, Meng Fei retreated to the side.
The Tang Sect’s ancestors was naturally Sea God Tang San, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, and Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin.
The seven people faced the three ancestors and bowed deeply.
“The ceremony is completed. From now on, all of you are members of the Tang Sect. I represent the Tang Sect and welcome all of you.” Meng Fei’s smile reappeared.
It was done just like that? The process wasn’t complicated, but looking at the three statues in front of them and sensing the strange aura around them, the seven of them felt a sense of holiness.
“Now, please sit down where you are. Our ancestors will bless you.” Meng Fei smiled.
Bless ?
Although they didn’t know what it meant, the seven people still sat cross-legged under Lan Xuanyu’s lead.
In the next moment, they felt that the Douluo Hall Master before them was emitting a bright white light that was dazzling. His entire body seemed to have swelled up in an instant and his figure became larger.
Everything around them began to turn blurry and Lan Xuanyu’s team of seven immediately felt as though the world was spinning. It was as though they were in a vortex and were in a trance.
In the next moment, in their field of vision and perception, all the sculptures around them seemed to have come alive as they looked at them. Clusters of spiritual power landed on their bodies and cleansed their bodies and minds.
