「The next morning.」
The fiery morning sun had just peeked over the horizon, its warm rays shining down upon Ancestor Mountain.
RUMBLE!
The entire Ancestor Mountain was like a mirror, reflecting dazzling rays of sunlight that shot into the sky. The whole mountain seemed to transform into a peak of brilliant Gold.
It was incredibly dazzling, incredibly sacred!
One by one, the powerful cultivators were startled awake, their gazes all turning toward Ancestor Mountain...
Under the sun's illumination, the light from Ancestor Mountain grew ever more intense, making the entire mountain resplendent in gold and jade.
SWOOSH!
A pillar of light erupted from the top of Ancestor Mountain, shooting straight into the firmament and connecting heaven and earth.
It was followed by a second, a third, a fourth...
A total of ninety-nine pillars of light burst forth from Ancestor Mountain.
Within each of the ninety-nine pillars of light, a stone stele slowly ascended.
