Chapter 118: A Thousand Lamps, Ten Thousand Lamps

e foundation be solid, and one can further look towards the vast Zhoutian, and even the scenery beyond the Heavenly Gate.Ignoring Dugong Xiao's delight, after leaving her Heavenly Palace, Jiang Wang d...Jiang Wang's understanding of Yang Liu's emotions didn't hinder him from taking the opportunity to get closer to him. While Yang Liu was drunk, they discussed the details of introducing Hai Jingping.

The next day, Jiang Wang entered Hai Jingping's mansion accompanied by Yang Liu and left after an hour.

Afterwards, he visited Hai Jingping twice more, purchasing new storage boxes beforehand each time.

Of course, his actions were masked by the growing clamor on Hainan Island and went largely unnoticed.

Because the annual Sea Festival of the offshore islands has begun.

The renowned Tianya Stage sits right in the middle of Xianyue Island's curving back, which is also the island's outermost projection and closest to the Mist Realm.

This place is naturally the main shrine site for this sea festival, and also the highest point on Gengetsu Island.

Whether called Xiàn Yuè Dào, Yuèyá Dào, Huái Dào... no matter the name, it is undoubtedly the core island of the nearshore archipelago. Its status is almost that of a national capital.

Then, Tiānyá Tái is equivalent to the place where Taimiao Temple is located.

The entire Tiān Yá Platform was a massive stone platform, spanning a thousand meters in every direction.

This side of the island slopes gently down to land, while the other side facing the sea is a sheer cliff.

The overall shape resembles surging waves crashing and then abruptly freezing. Like a gigantic frozen wave.

Once, the vast ocean surged towards Tianya Pavilion. Likewise, a throng of human cultivators surged towards the Cang Hai Sea, their numbers crashing against its waves without ever retreating.

Some people also say that Tianya Terrace is like an upside-down palm held high, with its arm being the vertical cliff face of Haidao. It lifts up the extraordinary cultivators of the nearby islands, giving them strength and courage.

But no matter which account is true, Tianya Forum remains an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of sailors. It represents honor and greatness.

Even if the cultivators of Yanggu were terrifyingly powerful, and even if Qi State was incredibly formidable, the main sacrificial site for the Sea Sacrifice could only be held at Tianya Terrace.

Even saying that, only the memorial ceremonies performed on Tainai Stage were recognized as true. Only then was it believed that the spirits of the fallen soldiers could truly be comforted.

Although various activities have been held throughout the day, the real climax of the sea festival takes place at night.

Jiang Wang got a spot through Yang Liu. After that night of drinking and confiding in each other, they now have a good relationship, being close enough to be considered ordinary friends. As a true disciple of the Diaohai Lou, it was easy for Jiang Wang to arrange a spot for him on the Tiangya Stage.

Of course, it couldn't be a very good location either.

Because today, almost all the notable forces in the entire Nansha Islands are sending representatives to participate in the grand ceremony at Tianya Pavilion. Of course, it's not mandatory, after all, important matters shouldn't be delayed for a sea festival. But for many people, being able to climb Tianya Pavilion on the fourth day of April itself is an honor, so most won't miss it.

At this time, the Tianya Pavilion is teeming with people.

Jiang Wang's deliberate low profile meant he could only mingle in the crowd, facing a group of unfamiliar little sect elders.

"This young brother looks unfamiliar, I wonder which island he's from"

“Oh, I wander the world, never settling in any one place.”

With a casual brush-off of the greetings from others, Jiang Wang silently observed the situation on Tianya Terrace.

At this time, the four elders of the Fishing Sea Tower in charge of the practical matters of this sea sacrifice ceremony had all appeared on the Sky's End Terrace. Led by Hai Jingping, they welcomed guests from all walks of life with a group of elite disciples, and naturally Yang Liu was among them.

But the presiding master of the Grand Sea Temple, the head elder Chongguang Zhenren of Diaohai Building, hadn't appeared yet.

Coming from someone of such stature, it's only natural they would wait until everything is in order before making an appearance.

On the other hand, Jiang Wang also saw some friends and acquaintances.

For example, Li Fenghang, who represented Binghuang Island, was sitting in the VIP section. Her stunning beauty attracted countless gazes, but her aloof temperament made people reluctant to look too closely.

Of course, Li Longchuan was also there, often going over to chat with Li Fengyao.

But I didn't see Xu Xiangqian.

Jiang Wang scanned the room with his gaze, finding Zhao Wuyan and Zi Shu in a relatively less prominent location. Xu Xiangqian was indeed squeezed beside them. And Yan Fu beside him was obviously forced to come along as company.

I wonder if the welcoming willows would cry on the spot if they happened to meet them... Although Xu Xiangqian may not have much of a chance, it's still better than Yang Liu being declared out.

Zhang Wu-yan sat a little lower than usual, not because the renowned Longmen Academy, one of the four great academies under heaven, was inferior to the Stone Gate Li family. Rather, it was that on the sea, Longmen Academy had very little influence, and there were no branches on the island.

The Near Sea Islands should only be ranked in terms of their position on the sea. Otherwise, the person presiding over the grand ceremony for a sea sacrifice should be an official from the State of Qi.

Though Jiang Wang knew several friends had come to Hainan Island, he hadn't contacted any of them.

Just like he was hiding in the crowd right now, not revealing his whereabouts. He had his own plan and preparations, and even a corresponding awareness, but he didn't intend to drag more people down with him.

For example, Chong Xuan also represented the Undying Isles in attendance. It is likely that due to his own strength, his position was not far different from Zhao Wu'yan's.

Furthermore, he also saw Tian Chang. As the head of Dazetian clan's recent operations in the nearby islands, his seat was even further forward than Li Fengyao's, a testament to Tian's maritime power.

As dusk approached, the noise and bustle grew.

The sea festival held on the islands near the coast is as important to islanders as the Chinese New Year is to people living on land.

Every household on Xinyue Island hung lanterns today.

This custom was originally intended to light the way home for spirits, allowing the souls of human cultivators who had fallen in the demon realm to find their way.

Over time, it was passed down through the generations of seafarers, becoming a guiding light for lost souls at sea, leading them home. The connection between the Sea Clan and the Spirit World was subtly veiled, allowing its knowledge to spread more widely.

Looking back from the Tiange Pavilion, one could see thousands upon thousands of lanterns illuminating the island of Huai.

Some people say, "The moon in the sky is one thing, the moon in the sea is another, and the moon in a person's heart is on the island of Wai."

It was not until this moment that Jiang Wang truly felt...

The so-called moon of humanity is not an island shaped like a crescent moon, but countless people who live on this island and strive for it. When the lights lit by all the people gather together, it becomes a human moon.

This month, one can gaze into people's hearts, calm the storms, dispel the long night, and comfort the spirits.

Time is almost up.

It seems as if someone has fallen from the moon,

lighting up the sky.

His robe billowed around him, like a halo of light, and he seemed like another source of illumination in the night sky besides the moon.

Like stars falling to earth.

One step appears in the high sky, another step has already fallen to Tianya Stage.

Immediately, a disciple of the Di Hai Lou announced: "True Person Chongguang has arrived!"

He is the first-ranked elder of Jinghai, who holds a position second only to the master of Diaohailou. He is a core figure in Diaohailou.

But see this man standing before the grand chair, facing everyone and also the vast sea beyond the Tianya Platform.

He stood eight feet tall, with an erect figure and a face that was always shrouded in a layer of light, making it impossible to see clearly. But there was no doubt that he was extremely imposing.

Throughout the entire Tianya Forum, everyone stood up to show their respect.

And he spread his hands, pressing them down and sighed—

I didn't realize...it was April 4th again.” the ancestor is not allowed to be changed."The violent explosion caused both Jiang Wang and Chu Mi in the inn to change color.The battle has begun!At this time, Fu Yanqing's voice rang out again: "Ar...
