The Moon Goddess Successor scoffed coldly, "What, do you want to test my strength too?"
Bai Zhan chuckled lightly, "It's not yet ti for us to make a move, but if you want to spar with , I wouldn't mind a bout after we leave."
The Moon Goddess Successor gave him a frosty glance and ignored him.
Obviously, Bai Zhan didn't want to be the first to act against the Moon Goddess Successor. After all, her true strength was unknown, and with her attitude, she would inevitably beco a common enemy for several parties. He didn't want to pave the way for others.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward anymore, the Moon Goddess Successor looked at Su Qing, "You, boy, were the one shouting the loudest just now. Why not exchange a few moves with ?"
Su Qing hurriedly smiled apologetically, "I wouldn't dare, now we all understand that you are qualified to seize the Chengying Sword. We shouldn't have spoken of you that way earlier."
The Moon Goddess Successor scoffed, "Indeed a bunch of lowlifes. When I hadn't displayed my strength, each one was jumping rrily. But now, why so deflated?"
Those people quickly offered up apologetic smiles.
No one expected this woman's strength to be so incredibly formidable. Before her, they were like re children.
Xu Hao and the others ignored those people, continuing on to the ritual hall.
"Heavenly Prayer Inscription!"
Just as they entered the hall, one mber of the Zu family exclaid excitedly and rushed to take a stone tablet embedded in the wall.
Everyone looked at the walls and found them densely inscribed with words.
ng Xiangwen smiled slightly, "This is the prayer that the Hall of Rites would recite during Wei State's grand sacrificial ceremony. The prayers are made up of thirty-six stone tablets, but only one truly holds power, while the rest are just accompanints. Now, it depends on everyone's luck. The powerful stone tablet contains Golden Essence, enough to rival a Third Grade Superior Magical Instrunt as a regular weapon in battle."
Almost everyone imdiately rushed towards those stone tablets.
Although which one is truly powerful is unknown, grabbing a piece ans a chance it could be theirs.
Su Qing and others mixed in as well, joining the throng competing for the stone tablets.
ng Xiangwen and three others strolled slowly, while their servants went to snatch, so they needn't act.
Just then, Xu Hao suddenly reached out, snatching a stone tablet embedded in the corner wall into his hand.
Bai Zhan mocked slightly, "Brother Yu, why need you act personally? It's almost pure luck with these things. With so many stone tablets, no one knows if theirs is genuine. If it's not, it'll just beco a laughingstock."
Su Qing also snatched a stone tablet, and seeing Xu Hao involved, sneered, "Oh, Young Master Bai, don't be like that. Maybe he really thinks he's grabbed the genuine one? After all, so people have their mysterious self-confidence. What if this one stone tablet turns out to be real?"
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "You're right, this stone tablet is indeed the genuine one."
"Hahaha! Are you mad? I was just speaking casually, yet you took it seriously?" Su Qing said in bewildernt.
"If you don't believe , I can prove it now. Also, let tell you, the Wei State's prayer is not simple—it's more powerful than any vassal state's prayers from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Periods. This prayer here is actually a Heavenly Prayer Inscription, specifically used by ancient kings to worship heaven and earth!"
Xu Hao chuckled, then placed his right hand on the prayer inscription, chanting softly, "In the beginning of ancient wilds, chaotic and dim, with Five Elents unturned, and two luminaries unclear, standing firmly within, unseen yet heard, a divine sovereign erges, separating chaos into clear, establishing heaven, earth and people, all creatures born..."
As they heard Xu Hao's chant, everyone felt as if they were transported to a hazy world, like the initial opening of heaven and earth, the birth of all things...
"Buzz!"
Xu Hao's chant abruptly halted, the sudden stop awakening everyone from their trance.
Their gaze at the stone tablet in Xu Hao's hand changed.
That tablet emitted a gentle golden glow that inspired awe upon sight.
ng Xiangwen murmured in astonishnt, "I never expected... never expected this to be the Zhou Dynasty's Heavenly Prayer Inscription! If one could fully invoke the prayer's powers, perhaps..."
He dared not continue further.
The events recorded historically made him tremble at the thought.
Su Qing hastily asked, "Eldest Young Master ng, what happens if the power of this Heavenly Prayer Inscription is fully invoked? Do tell!"
ng Xiangwen sighed softly, "I was too overly cautious. Even if Brother Yu has the Heavenly Prayer Inscription, it's impossible to unleash the formidable might of this prayer from Ancient Tis."
