454: Mahayana Grand Ceremony (I)

At this moment, in the Azure Dragon City Lord's Mansion, Bai Lianba bowed respectfully to Lin Feng and said, "Grand Elder, I suggest that Old Ancestor, you hold a Great Ascension Ceremony!"

This will display your prestige and strength, and also let the entire Human Race know that our Hundred Refinements Sect has produced a Great Ascension Ancestor."

Lin Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this. He indeed needed a grand ceremony to officially announce his advancement to the Great Ascension Stage, and also to affirm the results of his Cultivation over the years.

At this time, more than a dozen Combination Venerables from the Border Great Wall also echoed his words. Elder Li, who was quite familiar with Lin Feng, and Immortal Master Feng Lei, who had met Lin Feng a few times, also stepped forward, expressing their support for holding a Great Ascension Ceremony. They said, "Ancestor Lin's advancement to the Great Ascension Stage is a great joyous event for our Human Race, and it should be celebrated grandly, letting everyone know about this momentous occasion."

Lin Feng looked at the eager gazes of the crowd, and his heart was also touched. He nodded and said, "Alright, then let's hold a Great Ascension Ceremony. This matter will be jointly organized by Sect Master Bai Lianba and the Elders of the Border Great Wall. Make sure it is perfect."

Bai Lianba and the Combination Venerables of the Border Great Wall all showed joy upon hearing this. They respectfully assented, indicating that they would do their best to organize this grand ceremony.

Lin Feng looked at the busy figures of the crowd, his heart also filled with anticipation. This Great Ascension Ceremony was not only a celebration of his own advancement to the Great Ascension Stage, but also a declaration of the Human Race's increased strength.

In the days that followed, Lin Feng began to prepare for the Great Ascension Ceremony. He not only had to select a suitable venue for the ceremony, but also invite various people to attend this grand event.

The Elders of the Border Great Wall sent invitations to the major Sects of the Human Race, but the requirements were very high; only Void Refining Cultivators at the lowest could participate, and it was set to be held a hundred years later.

In addition, Lin Feng allowed Yuan Tianba and her mother to move freely in Azure Dragon City. Yuan Tianba's mother's Bloodline was not as pure as hers, only reaching the Late stage of the Body Integration Realm upon adulthood, while Yuan Tianba, though still young, was already at the Middle Stage of the Body Integration Realm, with unlimited potential.

Lin Feng becoming a Great Ascension Ancestor could be said to be a cause for universal celebration for the Human Race, yet Lin Feng himself was very low-key. He did not become complacent because of his advancement to the Great Ascension Stage; instead, he Cultivated even more diligently.

During the preparation of the Great Ascension Ceremony, Lin Feng did not completely let go, but kept a close eye on the progress of the preparations, ensuring that every detail was perfect.

He knew that this grand ceremony was not only a celebration for himself, but also a display of the Human Race's strength, so he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

At the same time, Yuan Tianba and her mother lived very comfortably in Azure Dragon City. They were full of curiosity about everything here and enthusiastically explored everywhere every day.

Lin Feng's spirit beast, Silver Shadow Leopard, although already in human form, looked only seven or eight years old. Every day, he liked to follow behind Yuan Ba Tian, imitating her movements, making Yuan Tianba burst into laughter. Yuan Tianba's mother watched them lovingly from the side, occasionally joining in their games. The three got along extremely well.

Lin Feng looked at this scene, his heart also filled with gratification. He knew that he had not only saved Yuan Tianba's mother but also brought them new life and hope.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Great Ascension Ceremony. On this day, Azure Dragon City was adorned with lanterns and streamers, bustling with excitement. People from all walks of life gathered here to witness this grand event.

At this time, Human Race powerhouses from various cities hundreds of billions of miles away rushed to Azure Dragon City. In the Azure Dragon City square, Human Race powerhouses from all over were discussing Lin Feng, the newly advanced Great Ascension Cultivator. Among them, some were full of curiosity about Lin Feng, wanting to witness his strength with their own eyes; others were full of respect for Lin Feng, considering him the pride and hope of the Human Race.

At this moment, Lin Feng was in the City Lord's Mansion, communicating Cultivation experiences of Great Ascension Cultivators with three other Great Ascension Ancestors of the Human Race. These three Great Ascension Ancestors were named Old Ancestor Xuan Tian, Old Ancestor Chi Huo, and Old Ancestor Cang Hai, respectively.

They were all outstanding figures among the Human Race, all in the Early Stage of the Great Ascension Stage. The Human Race's ability to establish itself in the Hundred Spirits World was inseparable from the protection of these three Great Ascension Ancestors. Lin Feng benefited greatly from his exchanges with them, gaining a deeper understanding of Cultivation in the Great Ascension Stage.

Lin Feng asked the three Great Ascension Ancestors, "Three Fellow Daoists, since my Ascension, why have you not taken action against the Flying Spirit Race, who have been invading the Human Race's Border City all these years?"

Old Ancestor Xuan Tian stroked his beard lightly upon hearing this and slowly said, "Young Friend Lin, it's not that we are unwilling to act, but rather that the Flying Spirit Race's power is immense, and they are supported by an even more powerful race. If we act, it might lead to greater trouble."

Old Ancestor Chi Huo also nodded and said, "That's right, Young Friend Lin, although Great Ascension Cultivators are powerful, they cannot act recklessly. We have too many considerations and cannot easily provoke a war between races."

Old Ancestor Cang Hai also spoke, "Young Friend Lin, you are new to the Great Ascension Stage and do not understand many things. The grievances between the Flying Spirit Race and our Human Race are complex and cannot be resolved in a short time. We have always been looking for the right opportunity, hoping to resolve this hidden danger in one fell swoop."

Lin Feng pondered inwardly upon hearing this. He understood that although Great Ascension Cultivators were powerful, they could not do whatever they wanted. He needed to consider more and not bring disaster to the entire race just because of a momentary impulse.

He looked at the three Great Ascension Ancestors and said, "Three Fellow Daoists, I understand. I will act cautiously and will not bring trouble to the race. However, if the Flying Spirit Race invades the Human Race's border again, I will not stand idly by."

The three Great Ascension Ancestors all nodded upon hearing this. At this time, Old Ancestor Cang Hai, one of the three Ancestors, reminded Lin Feng, "Daoist Lin, the Flying Spirit Race has many more Great Ascension Cultivators than our Human Race, so we have an unspoken agreement with them: even if there is a conflict between the two sides, Great Ascension Cultivators must not interfere!"

Lin Feng nodded with a solemn expression upon hearing this. He deeply understood the strength of the Flying Spirit Race and the impact of conflicts between Great Ascension Cultivators on the entire race. He said, "Daoist Cang Hai, I understand. I will not easily provoke a conflict between Great Ascension Cultivators, but if the Flying Spirit Race truly goes too far, I will not back down."

Old Ancestor Cang Hai looked at Lin Feng, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He said, "Daoist Lin, I am very pleased that you can be so reasonable. Our Human Race needs Cultivators like you to protect it."

Lin Feng smiled humbly and said, "Daoist Cang Hai, you flatter me. I am just doing what I should do."
