Chapter 149

July 1st, the first day of the second half of the year. The sun had long since risen over the East Sea, hanging high in the sky. Its rays traveled from the eastern coast of the Northern Zhige Continent, across the Central Region, all the way to the western shores. Throughout the entire Northern Zhige Continent, the skies were clear and cloudless. At a quarter past nine in the morning, the Pilgrimage Plaza at the summit of Donghua Mountain was packed with people. Beyond the immortal cultivators who had come to attend the Pilgrimage Ceremony and the Three-Continent Grand Competition, the common folk from the towns at the foot of Donghua Mountain—and even those from three hundred miles around—had made the arduous journey up the mountain to welcome the once-a-century Pilgrimage Ceremony of the Divine Lord Lady.
