Chapter 2459: Archosaur Ceremony
In the south of Dragon Capital were some grounds that stood at an area of over twenty thousand feet wide.
This day, the grounds were filled with crowds. The Archosaur Ceremony was held there.
A large thousand foot long stage was erected on the grounds and the east, west and north directions of the grounds had large stands for spectators.
In the northernmost stand sat the higher ups of the Dragon Tribe. Close to fifty elders of the Dragon Tribe and three hundred other top experts of the Dragon Tribe surrounded the Dragon Emperor, who was seated in the middle.
The eastern stands sat the core Dragon Tribe members. There were almost a thousand of them including Long Cheng and Long Shuangshuang.
The western stands sat those guests from other superpowers who came to watch the ceremony. Tian Chenyu and Di Yuan Supreme Being were amongst them.
Every seat on the western stands was separate.
Many people had arrived from the various superpowers and there were about seven to eight hundred of them.
The south of the grounds did not have any stands and the regular disciples and tribe members of Dragon Tribe were gathered there.
At that point, the middle of the grounds were empty as Long Teng had yet to show himself.
The entire grounds were bustling with activity as many people held conversations amongst themselves. People of the various superpowers were muttering amongst themselves while the Dragon Tribe members continued to chat with one another.
In the next moment, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor, observing that everyone had gathered there, stood up and addressed the crowd.
As he stood up, the entire grounds turned so silent that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"Everyone, I must first thank you for coming to Dragon Capital to witness the Archosaur Ceremony!" Dragon Emperor Tun Xu remained polite as he cupped his fists and thanked the numerous guests seated on the western stands.
"Dragon Emperor is too kind!"
"The appearance of the Archosaur is a blessing for Dragon Tribe, we will naturally come!"
"Dragon Emperor"s might has not changed!"
Numerous experts of the various superpowers stood up and bowed to the Dragon Emperor.
Many of those who had arrived were Supreme Beings and they reached a number of a hundred. However, there were only a few Upper Supreme Beings.
None were of the same status and power as the Dragon Emperor.
For instance, Chaotic Lord of Reincarnation Holy Court and Ancient Demon Emperor of Ancient Demon State were not there.
Nonetheless, the Supreme Beings that had arrived represented their individual superpowers and the Dragon Emperor had to thank them.
"Hehe, everyone is too kind!"
Dragon Emperor Tun Xu laughed lightly before he instructed: "Men, please serve Spiritual Wine and Fruits for our guests."
As soon as the orders were given, many Dragon Tribesmen flew down from the sky with Spiritual Fruits and Wine. As though they had landed from the stars, they immediately started to serve condiments to the guests.
"Everyone, this is the special Dragon Blood Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Wine unique to our tribe. Please take a taste!" Tun Xu Dragon Emperor invited.
"Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"
"Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"
"Thank you, Dragon Emperor, for your kindness!"
Many experts thanked the Dragon Emperor. Zi Xiao also sipped on the wine before he said, "Dragon Emperor, it isn"t early anymore. How about we taste the wine and allow the Dragon Ceremony to begin!"
"That"s right. It is not early anymore, let"s begin!" Tian Chenyu agreed.
Zi Xiao and Tian Chenyu were both impatient. They had carefully surveyed the grounds but had not seen any sign of Su Mo.
They thought to themselves that Su Mo would definitely show himself. However, they had no idea how to force Su Mo out.
"That is what I thought as well!" Dragon Emperor Tun Xu nodded his head before he announced, "The Archosaur Ceremony will begin now!"
With that, figures started to fly out from the Archosaur Tower not far away.
These figures were led by Long Teng.
Behind Long Teng were a dozen men and they included the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Dragon Tribe, along with other experts.
All the Dragon Tribesmen stepped into the air and quickly arrived above the stage of the grounds.
Long Teng"s appearance was splendid that day. He wore a gold crown and a colored long robe with wide sleeves. Lifelike dragons were sewn carefully onto his sleeves.
These dragons seemed to be alive and they gave off a spiritual feeling.
Long Teng"s tall figure and handsome features made him stand out in the crowd.
At that point, everyone"s eyes were focused on Long Teng and they carefully surveyed him.
Many people didn"t know Long Teng as they had never seen him before.
Jiang Fengran, Zhan Luan and Wenren Tiandu observed Long Teng from the grounds, their hearts filled with pride.
They had not imagined that Long Teng would walk so far ahead of them.
The three of them were Rank 2 True G.o.ds while Long Teng was already a Rank 4 True G.o.d.
Granted, they were not jealous of Long Teng because they were all Favored Ones, to the extent that they were more talented than the Favored ones of Deity Plane. To become a Supreme Being within a thousand years was something that was possible for all of them.
Amongst the top superpowers, all their top talents wore sharp looks, their battle intents rising.
Archosaur?
That was a new enemy for them.
Shoosh shoos.h.!.+
Long Teng, the Grand Elder, Second Elder and the rest of the Dragon Tribesmen landed on the stage.
"I am Long Teng. Welcome everybody to the ceremony!" Long Teng"s long sleeves swished through the sky as he introduced himself to the crowd.
"Long Teng has a good character!"
"I heard about Long Teng often when I was in Dragon Capital for a few days. I am glad to finally meet you now!"
"Congratulations Long Teng!"
Many Supreme Beings of the various superpowers smiled and acknowledged Long Teng.
Although Long Teng"s cultivation rank was not high, as the new Archosaur, he would become a master.
"Thank you everyone for your praise!" Long Teng smiled.
At that point, the Grand Elder stepped forward and announced, "The Archosaur Ceremony officially begins!"
With that, the entire grounds quietened down and no one spoke. The Grand Elder waved his hand and a thousand foot tall statue appeared in the front of the stage.
This statue was made of jade and it was a middle-aged man that had thick eyebrows and a rough face. It was the statue of the Chaotic Archosaur.
As soon as the statue appeared, many paid their respects to it by wearing a humbled face. This was the ancestor of the Dragon Tribe and he was one of the top ancient masters of the world.
"Please bow three times!" The Grand Elder commanded.
Long Teng"s long robe waved through the sky as he kneeled down and bowed thrice to the statue.
The Archosaur Ceremony was not complicated. Once Long Teng had bowed thrice to the statue, the Grand Elder opened a secret Dragon Tribe array that covered the entire grounds.
Numerous rays of light rose up from the Dragon Tribesmen and drifted into the sky. A few moments later, they gathered together and gushed into Long Teng"s body.
These were the Luck Rays that brought luck and blessings to Long Teng from the Dragon Tribe. While it did not increase Long Teng"s strength, it gave Long Teng the blessings of the tribe.
The entire process lasted half an hour before it finally ended.
"I am Long Chang, the Grand Elder of the Dragon Tribe. Long Teng is officially the second Archosaur of the Dragon Tribe. He will a.s.sume the official name of Firmament Archosaur and will lead the Dragon Tribe in the future!" The Grand Elder announced, his thick voice boomed through Dragon Capital and the universe.
Even those outside a thousand kilometer radius from him could here the Grand Elder"s voice clearly.
"Greetings to Firmament Archosaur!"
"Greetings to Firmament Archosaur!"
"Greetings to Firmament Archosaur!"
As soon as the Grand Elder"s words were spoken, numerous Dragon Tribesmen cupped their fists towards Long Teng and shouted.
The Archosaur was not only highly respected, he also had a high status.
Dragon Emperor Tun Xu maintained a stern face. These events all concerned him but he quietly waited and watched the scene.
"At ease, everyone!" Long Teng stared at his surroundings and said. At that point, he was very proud of himself.
He even felt as though he had become the Chaotic Archosaur who ruled over a million tribesmen.
"Thank you, Firmament Archosaur!" The crowd shouted, their clear voices ringing through the sky.
The other men from the various superpowers stared at Long Teng with different expressions. Could this new Archosaur be as strong and powerful as the Chaotic Arhchosaur?
Everything seemed uncertain. After all, before a Favored One matured, things could change.
"Hehe, Firmament Archosaur"s might is really strong!"
At that point, Zi Xiao smiled. He continued, "The Archosaur Ceremony has ended. However, I am still curious about one thing."
"What are you curious about?" Long Teng stared at Zi Xiao and asked. He knew Zi Xiao"s ident.i.ty and knew that Zi Xiao might be up to no good.
"I heard that the reason Long Teng"s blood could transform was because he obtained the Chaotic Archosaur Blood from the tenth floor of the Archosaur Tower. From what I know, a man called Tu Xiao entered the tenth floor. Is that how you obtained the lifeblood?" Zi Xiao put on a fake smile and asked.
Many people from the various superpowers who heard this had s.h.i.+ny bright eyes. They all knew about this and it was no secret.
Compared to Long Teng, they were interested in Tu Xiao and they wanted to know how exceptional Tu Xiao was.
Many who had arrived at Dragon Capital early knew things about Tu Xiao and they spread the news to many others so that people speculated and guessed.
"That"s right!" Long Teng nodded. This was a well known fact and he had no reason to hide it.
"Hehe, if Tu Xiao could enter the tenth floor, his talents must be exceptional. I wonder which talent of Dragon Tribe he is?" Zi Xiao chuckled lightly as he stared at the surroundings and asked.
"That"s right. Who is Tu Xiao? Can"t he show himself?" A tall, burly middle-aged man added.
This man was Supreme Being Yan Huo of Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace. Back then, in order to capture Su Mo, he had purposefully headed to Ultimate Sword Domain.
"Everyone is curious about him. How special is Tu Xiao?" Tian Chenyu also asked, his hoa.r.s.e voice spreading through the grounds.
