Four thousand eight hundred men, including Wu Qi, fell into forty-eight square arrays in the spacious arena. In the middle of it, Yu Mu, Yu Miao, and some other Elders of the Yu Clan were holding a grand sacrificial ceremony. They prayed to Heaven and Earth, and to the ghosts and deities, asking for their blessing so that the best and most suitable sons could be chosen, and that these chosen sons could safely rule over the sixteen ninth-grade provinces.
A huge altar was raised from under the ground. Many tablets carved with the names and images of various ghosts and deities were placed atop. Wu Qi saw that many of the tablets were carved with the names of Yu Clan's ancestors, and they were placed higher than many powerful ghosts and deities.
