Start with Dark Supreme, starting from Covering the Sky

"Friend Lin, are you interested in joining my Stone Clan?" Shi Qingfeng looked directly at Lin Chen and said solemnly.

When Lin Chen heard Shi Qingfeng's words, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior Shi misunderstood. I don't want to join the nobles because my hometown is too far away from here and I can't return in the short term, so I want to wait until things are done before I say anything."

"I was reckless." Shi Qingfeng sighed, looking a little regretful, then stood up and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry, if you have anything in the future, just tell me, I will make the decision for you!"

"Thank you, Senior Shi." Lin Chen clasped his fists.

…………

Stone tribe, meeting room.

Shi Qingfeng sat on the throne, with a hint of fatigue between his brows and white frost on his temples, obviously caused by excessive worry.

Behind him, on both sides, there were five figures sitting upright, each with a terrifying aura emanating from them. They were the five elders of the Stone Clan, all of them supremely powerful beings.

"Chief, why did you ask me to come here?" an elder asked, looking somewhat puzzled.

Guarding the borderland cannot afford any loss, but the clan leader summoned them here. What is so important?

Shi Qingfeng was silent for a moment, and then said, "In three days, it will be the Millennium Ceremony of our Shi Clan. This ceremony is the most prosperous event of our Shi Clan. Many elders and descendants of our clan will gather here to pray together and wish our Shi Clan eternal prosperity."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes showed a hint of sharpness. The Millennium Ceremony of the Stone Clan was indeed a big event for the Stone Clan. It was only held once every hundred years, and each time it was personally organized by the clan leader, which showed that his status was extraordinary and he was revered by thousands of people.

"Since the clan leader called us here, he must have a plan." Another elder spoke up, with an interested look on his face.

"Yes." Shi Qingfeng nodded slightly and said seriously: "This ceremony is not only related to the reputation of the entire Shi clan, but also to whether the Shi clan bloodline can recover to its peak. Therefore, it must be handled with caution and no mistakes can be made."

Hearing Shi Qingfeng's words, the five elders nodded in agreement. The clan leader was right. There must not be any negligence in this ceremony.

"So what does the patriarch plan to do?" asked an elder.

Shi Qingfeng looked around and slowly said, "I plan to let Lin Chen participate in this festival."

Hearing this, the five elders paused for a moment, and then looked a little strange. The clan leader actually asked a young man from another family to participate in the millennium ceremony. Could it be that this young man has special meaning to the clan leader?

If this is true, and the clan leader recommends it to the other four major families, it will probably cause quite a stir.

"Although Lin Chen is extremely powerful and talented, he is ultimately an outsider and has a shallow foundation in the clan. It would probably not be appropriate to allow him to participate in the ceremony," an elder said hesitantly.

The other elders also nodded secretly, agreeing with his words.

They themselves did not reject Lin Chen. On the contrary, they admired him a little. They even wanted to cultivate Lin Chen.

But Lin Chen is too weak now. Even if his fighting ability is so powerful, he can never compare with the immortal creatures.

"Clan leader, this Millennium Ceremony is the greatest event of the entire Stone Clan. Many top forces will send people to watch the ceremony, including the Immortal King Clan. If my guess is correct, this ceremony will definitely be extra grand."

An elder slowly spoke up: "However, if a young man from another family is selected to join the festival team, perhaps many people will raise objections."

His words gave the other four elders an epiphany, and they all nodded, thinking that this suggestion was indeed a good one.

"The clan leader has indeed considered everything."

"Yeah, this is not a good idea."

"..."

They talked a lot, some agreed and some questioned, but overall, they did not object to Lin Chen's participation in the ceremony.

Shi Qingfeng looked at the elders and said calmly: "Do you have any better suggestions?"

After hearing this, the elders fell silent and did not say a word.

After a long while, an elder sighed and said, "Forget it. Since the clan leader insists on inviting this young man to participate in the ceremony, then let's do as the clan leader wishes."

Shi Qingfeng felt relieved when he heard this. After all, these people were elders of the Shi clan. If he insisted on asking them to change their words, it would be quite difficult.

"I wonder what arrangements the clan leader plans to make?" asked an elder. He was not worried that the clan leader would be partial or corrupt, but he just hoped that Lin Chen would not let the clan leader down.

"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Lin Chen will be sent to the altar square. At that time, he will have to compete with the younger generations in the clan. The winner will be able to participate in the ceremony." Shi Qingfeng said.

"That's it." Everyone suddenly realized.

"Then I will prepare it right away." The elder who had expressed his opinion just now stepped back immediately, and the other elders also dispersed.

Soon, the meeting room became empty, as if it had never existed. Only Shi Qingfeng remained there. He sighed softly, "Little friend Lin, I hope you won't let me down."

…………

The next morning.

When the sun rose, the entire Stone Tribe was illuminated brightly, as if covered with a golden robe.

This scene is extremely visually impactful, and makes people sigh at the majestic momentum of the Immortal King family.

"Dang——dang——dang——"

The melodious bell rang, spreading to every corner of the Stone Clan. All members of the clan gathered in the same direction. The vast crowd walked in the void, and the scene was magnificent and spectacular.

The Stone Clan's altar stood on a huge, flat hillside, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. At this moment, countless people were standing under the altar, densely packed and black. Everywhere you looked, you could see figures, which was shocking.

The Stone Clan Altar is a landmark building with a long history. Many ancestors have climbed the altar and made brilliant achievements there.

At this moment, smiles of excitement and anticipation appeared on many people's faces. The festival had already begun, and this festival would surely give birth to many outstanding and excellent people.

"Look, it's the patriarch!" A cry of surprise was heard, attracting the attention of many people.

In the distance, there was a white jade statue standing there, majestic and solemn, with an ethereal air all over it, as if it was above the sky, overlooking the world. This was none other than the founder of the Stone Clan, the Stone King, one of the seven kings!

There are two statues next to the statue of the Stone King. The one on the left is a handsome man with a burly figure, dressed in luxurious clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His gaze is extremely deep, with a hint of arrogance that looks down on the world, as if he was born to be a ruler.

Chapter 60, Stone Clan Secret Realm, Innate Spirit Body

The statue on the right is of a middle-aged man with a tall and majestic figure, wearing a black robe, long hair draped over his shoulders, his hands behind his back, his body straight, like a sharp spear piercing the sky, with such powerful aura that people can't help but look up.

He is the ancestor of the Fire Clan, the Fire King.

At this moment, the eyes of countless members of the Stone Tribe were fixed there, their heads were buzzing, blank, and they were stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

Is this the ancestor of the Fire Clan?

It is so powerful that just one glance at it gives people a suffocating feeling.

In front of them, I am as small as an ant.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and in the distance, an extremely huge warship came flying into the sky with such momentum that it covered the sky.

"The Stone Clan's altar is open!" Another loud shout came, and a middle-aged man in white clothes was seen flying in the air. He stepped on a huge sword and glanced at the crowd with cold eyes, looking very majestic.

The middle-aged man is called Shi Lei. He has been practicing for a long time and is the strongest person among the Shi clan below the supreme realm. His strength is unfathomable.

He looked towards a certain direction in the crowd and asked loudly, "Who is Lin Chen?"

The crowd looked in the direction Shi Lei pointed, and their expressions changed slightly. Could it be that he was looking for Lin Chen to sign up?

Many people showed an interested look on their faces, and their eyes were directed towards the crowd. Lin Chen raised his head and met the middle-aged man's gaze, saying, "That's me."

"Hmm?" Shi Lei frowned. He was actually Lin Chen?

Shi Lei had no memory of Lin Chen, so when Lin Chen approached him, he asked the other party's name. However, to his surprise, the other party's name was actually Lin Chen.

"Elder Shi Lei, are you going to gather the tribesmen to come and worship the Stone King?" At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard, and then an old man in gray clothes walked over, staring at Shi Lei with gentle eyes. His name was Shi Feng, and he was the younger brother of the tribe leader.

Seeing Shi Feng coming, Shi Lei's eyes flickered, and then he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Shi Feng would come."

"I will take charge of this matter." Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Brother Shi Feng." Shi Lei nodded.

Shi Feng turned around, looked around at the crowd below, and spoke loudly: "Today is the Stone Clan's festival. I believe you all know the rules, so I won't repeat them. I declare the festival to begin!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, magnificent and ancient drum sounds resounded in the void. Along with the drum sounds, a terrifying wave enveloped the area, causing countless people's hearts to tremble wildly, and their blood seemed to be affected and boiled.

When Shi Lei saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.

The sound of this sacrifice is called "Holy Sound" and is used to remind the tribe members that this is the holy land of the Stone Clan and the one being sacrificed is the founder of the Stone Clan, the Stone King.

Although Shi Feng had not reached the supreme realm, he was still able to barely activate some sacrificial techniques with his extraordinary strength.

"Everyone, please follow me." Shi Feng spoke loudly, and then stepped into the altar.

In an instant, wisps of strange light burst out and intertwined into a giant net, covering the entire altar. A mysterious aura diffused and enveloped the world.

"Let's go." Many people stepped forward and entered the altar. There were three levels here. The higher you go, the higher your status in the Stone Clan. Therefore, the further forward you go, the closer you are to the front.

Soon, everyone stood on the altar. Except for some of the peak Heavenly God Realm powerhouses in the clan, the rest were basically in the Void Dao Realm, but their realm was slightly lower than those peak figures.

"Today is the Stone Clan's festival. I hope you all will observe etiquette and leave the altar area after worshipping. Do not make any noise, otherwise you will be expelled from the Stone Clan according to the clan rules."

Shi Lei glanced at the people on the altar and spoke slowly: "People of the Shi Clan, listen up and start the sacrifice!"

Suddenly cheers broke out from the crowd, and countless people shouted in unison, the sound was deafening and shook the sky.

Then, the crowd began to come forward, kneel on the ground, kowtow to the huge statue, and pray for their blessings.

Everyone's face was filled with piety and their eyes were full of reverence.

The reason why the Stone Clan guards the Original Imperial City is closely related to the Stone Clan's ancestor, the Stone King. Many of the Stone Clan's unique skills and secret techniques were left by the Stone King. Without them, the Original Imperial City would have been unable to resist foreign invasions.

Over the years, the Stone King has played an extremely important role in the Stone Clan. He is even hailed as the spiritual symbol of the Stone Clan and an existence of faith. No one dares to offend his glory.

Moreover, the Stone King had bestowed many powerful skills and treasures upon the Stone Clan, which made the people of the Stone Clan worship him as a totem.

At this time, Lin Chen's eyes fell on the statue of the ancestor of the Stone Clan, and he felt a little touched. This ancestor of the Stone Clan was a generation of heroes. Unfortunately, in later generations, foreign invaded. For the safety of the nine heavens and ten earths, they took the initiative to lead all their clansmen to resist the foreign invasion for half an era. Their achievements were unprecedented in history.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the sacrifice became more vast and majestic, resounding in the void. Waves of boundless luck and light shot up into the sky and merged into the statue of the Stone King. The statue seemed to be alive, with brilliant golden light flowing all over its body, like a peerless god standing between heaven and earth, making countless people unable to help but prostrate themselves on the ground.

"Buzz..." Suddenly, a strange wave emerged within the Stone Clan, and a stone tablet floated out, hovering in the sky, emitting dazzling light. There were densely packed words on the stone tablet, revealing a vigorous and ancient meaning.

Lin Chen stared at the stone tablet, vaguely feeling that the stone tablet contained shocking mysteries. It seemed that it contained many kinds of magical powers, all kinds of them.

Shi Lei and several other elders of the clan walked to the bottom of the stone tablet, formed seals with their hands, and muttered something. They saw obscure and mysterious seals being struck into the stone tablet. Gradually, the surface of the stone tablet burst into an incomparable dazzling light and turned into star runes, crisscrossing like a chessboard, which was extremely mysterious.

"Array Kai!"

Another voice was heard, and the elders of the Stone Clan withdrew their hands at the same time. They saw the space around the stone tablet twisting and changing wildly, and finally formed an extremely huge illusory portal with a diameter of one hundred feet, revealing an extremely strong spatial fluctuation.

"Come in." Shi Lei said lightly, his voice was calm, but it revealed a sense of majesty.

"Go." Lin Chen said, his eyes deep and full of anticipation, wondering what kind of opportunity he would get this time.
