Su Yanyan had hurriedly returned to the sect two days ago, but after hearing that she had dealt with the investigation team of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, she felt relieved. She secretly thought that her own way had become popular, but she could stand alone. She did not sit in charge of the sect. But it also resolved this trouble.
The original mission of the Four Seas Immortal Cultivation Alliance would be extremely detrimental to the longevity sect.
It can be expected that this group of people will hold on to the information about the location of the demon cultivator. If they cannot give a reasonable response, it will be difficult to send these people away.
As a result, Yongxin Jianzi was too eager for quick success and quick gains, leading to reckless and unreasonable things. He lost face and reason. Naturally, he lost confidence and momentum in the follow-up investigation mission. Chen Dengming accused him of involving the secrets of the longevity sect, which was helpless. Don't let him go because of the notification.
…
At this time, Chen Dengming, Su Yanyan, and Xing Huiguang gathered together in the Tianxian Palace, representing the highest power center of the longevity sect.
Su Yanyan reminded Chen Dengming, "Yongxin Jianzi has earned a lot of face in Tiandaozong and Shujian Pavilion, but he has lost face with you. I'm afraid he has regarded you as a thorn in his side."
Chen Dengming put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Master, we are not in the West Demon Sea now, and we are not playing the Western Demon Sea's style of revenge that does not last overnight and will retaliate.
Yongxin Sword Sect also has a pretty good reputation abroad.
Unless this Yongxin Sword Master doesn't want to maintain the good image and reputation he usually maintains, even if he wants to target me in the future, it won't be too obvious.
In short, if it is just an honest move, I will take it, but if he wants to play tricks, I can only say wait and see."
"Yes, you still have to be careful." Su Yanyan nodded slightly.
Everyone in the world does not know that Changshou Taozi has two great traditions.
But she knew Chen Dengming's true strength. After all, he was the one who could escape from Sen Luo himself. Even if Yongxin Jianzi was playing tricks, he might not be able to make this nephew suffer.
"Now that the team from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance that they investigated has left, this matter is considered to be over."
Xing Huiguang shook his head and said solemnly, "But this time they conducted a thorough investigation mainly to get familiar with our overseas sects, to find out the strength of each of our sects, and to prepare for a real counterattack.
In my opinion, we may have to fight back within the next thirty years. The main reason I came back this time is to remind you of this matter."
"The next thirty years?"
Chen Dengming and Su Yanyan suddenly looked solemn.
This time, it’s more stressful.
Thirty years later, Chen Dengming calculated in his mind that he should still be at the eighth or ninth level of Longevity Kung Fu, and he might not be able to break through to the perfection of the Golden Elixir.
But after thinking about it carefully, I really can't delay it for much longer.
If it takes a little longer, the four regions may have been built into a base camp by evil cultivators from outside the region, and it will be difficult to get them back.
After the three of them continued to chat about the future situation and the sect's plans for a while, Xing Huiguang suddenly and solemnly performed a sound-holding technique with a secret key.
Chen Dengming looked surprised, but Su Yanyan's expression remained the same as before, as if she already knew what Xing Huiguang was going to say next.
"This is the authority of the head of our longevity sect, and it is also the head's most precious treasure [the Jade Seal of Longevity]."
Xing Huiguang solemnly took out a jade seal with opalescent white light from the storage bag.
Under the sunlight coming from outside the palace, the jade seal reflects in various colors and is dazzling.
This jade seal has a round front and a square bottom, which seems to indicate a "round sky and a square place", which is exactly the opposite of the Tianxian Temple. The ancient character "天" is engraved on the front and the ancient character "Shou" is engraved on the bottom, giving people a heavy and ancient meaning.
Xing Huiguang said solemnly, "This [Longevity Jade Seal] is made from the missing corner of the Dao Yun Jade from the Celestial Immortal Shou Palace. It contains the Celestial Dao power and can also enhance the Celestial Dao power and magical powers. It represents my longevity." The most precious treasure of the sect leader’s identity.”
Chen Dengming was staring straight at the [Jade Seal of Longevity], but when he heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
no?
Why does Senior Brother Xing sound like he wants to entrust the position of leader?
Xing Huiguang's eyes were bright, and he looked at Chen Dengming and said, "With this [Jade Seal of Longevity], you can also sense the location of the Celestial Immortal Longevity Palace.
Since the first ancestor contacted us through 'God's Will' many years ago and gave me guidance, in the past few years, I have not given up searching for the location of the first ancestor through the jade seal.
Until recently, I have basically anchored a possible entrance into the Broken Celestial Realm. Perhaps I can enter the Broken Celestial Realm through this entrance and find the First Ancestor and the Celestial Immortal Life Palace.
As long as you find the first ancestor, it is equivalent to finding the two palaces of longevity and life, and even the palace of blessing, which is a complete immortal Taoism."
When Chen Dengming heard this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and his eyes widened.
This means that now through the [Jade Seal of Longevity], there is hope to go to the Broken Celestial Realm and obtain the complete Celestial Tradition?
Su Yanyan, who had been silent until now, said at this time, "The entrance to the Shattered Celestial Realm is probably somewhere in the Four Realms near the edge of the Eastern Realm, maybe in the Fallen Jedi. The specifics will not be determined until we go to investigate. .
But I am not telling you this to encourage you to go to the Broken Celestial Realm, which is too dangerous.
I’m just saying that if a counterattack breaks out in the future and the situation becomes critical, you may try to hide in the Broken Celestial Realm. Only those of us who inherit the Celestial Dao Tradition can go deep into that kind of place.”
Chen Dengming was stunned, feeling more and more that something was wrong with the current atmosphere, and was about to speak.
At this time, Xing Huiguang suddenly held up the [Jade Seal of Longevity] in his hands, handed it to Chen Dengming solemnly, and said, "It has been the rule of our longevity sect in the past that if the current leader breaks through the Nascent Soul, he will abdicate on his own initiative and make way for the next person, and give the [Jade Seal of Longevity] and The position of leader is entrusted to the next leader.
I should have given this [Jade Seal of Longevity] to you many years ago, but handing it over now is a fulfillment of my mission! "
Chen Dengming sat blankly on the spot, looking at the [Jade Seal of Longevity] that was delivered to him in astonishment.
Even though he had long sensed that something was wrong, the fact that the transfer of leadership was actually happening now still made him feel ridiculous and a little confused.
The moment he reacted, Chen Dengming immediately stood up and said, "Senior Brother Xing!"
"Why!"
Xing Huiguang also stood up and threw the [Jade Seal of Longevity] directly into Chen Dengming's arms like a radish that an old farmer had just pulled out of the ground.
"I said the throne will be passed to you, so I will pass the throne to you. You usually like to be humble and let me know, but for the responsibility of being the head of the longevity sect, it is useless for you to be humble. It is your turn!"
Chen Dengming hurriedly took the [Longevity Jade Seal] that was thrown over, fearing that it would fall to the ground and break into pieces. Although that was unlikely to happen, but now he felt dumbfounded when he heard Xing Huiguang's words of abandonment.
However, as soon as he grabbed the [Jade Seal of Longevity], he clearly felt that the divine power in his body seemed to be invigorated and active.
And this [Jade Seal of Longevity] seemed to be filled with the power of immortality, which made him feel very attractive, and seemed to form some kind of special resonance with the power of immortality in his body.
"Now that all the senior brothers and the first ancestor are away, this matter of passing on the throne will be kept simple."
Su Yanyan stared at Chen Dengming at this moment, with an encouraging smile on her pretty face, and said, "According to the rules of passing the throne to the previous heads of our sect, as long as the current Taoist disciple is alive and capable of taking on a big responsibility, he can pass on the throne. Other candidates will not be considered.
Only when Daozi is absent or unable to take on the important role can other candidates be considered. A meeting of elders and deacons must be convened to discuss and select the candidate.
Your performance over the years has shown that you are a longevity leader who can take on big responsibilities! "
Chen Dengming looked at the encouragement that appeared in Su Yanyan's quiet and elegant detached expression, and felt that his usually flexible and eloquent mouth didn't know what to say at this moment.
This is probably what it feels like to be loved and cared for by your master's uncle?
In the following process, Su Yanyan and Xing Huiguang exchanged words with each other, and gradually decided on the matter of passing on the title of head.
Chen Dengming only felt that he took over the position of head of the longevity sect in a daze.
All you need to do is attend the ceremony of passing the throne that will be held officially in a few days, complete a set of red tape etiquette for worshiping the immortals, and thereby formally notify many disciples of the longevity sect and representatives of monks from many affiliated forces, and you will be considered to be completely on the throne. The position of the head of longevity.
According to Su Yanyan, he is still young, has endless potential, and has not yet reached the end.
And now is not the period of the Four Realms Nascent Soul Treaty in the past. He does not need to suppress his cultivation. Instead, due to the threat of overseas and domestic wars, he needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Therefore, even if you take over the position, you can still focus on cultivation.
To handle the affairs of the sect, it is enough to leave it to a clone and be assisted by Guan Chao and other elders.
This arrangement was exactly what Chen Dengming wanted, and the last trace of worry and hesitation in his heart dissipated, and he felt a burst of shame.
He did feel a little more relaxed after he became the leader in a daze.
However, once again, he thought about how he had experienced life and death in the Fallen Land.
After arriving at the East Immortal Sea, he devoted all his energy to finding the blessed land of the sect.
After finding the sect's blessed land, he spared no effort to support and defend the sect and other achievements.
It seems that the journey along the way has been quite bumpy. He did not win this position by chance, and now he is actually receiving the order in a critical situation.
If you think about it a little more darkly, maybe the reason why the [Jade Seal of Longevity] in Xing Huiguang's hand was handed over to him a few years later is because the masters and uncles are still observing and testing it.
…
In the next few days, the longevity sect quickly became lively.
Many Changshou disciples have received the news that Changshou Daozi will be promoted to head.
The major affiliated forces of the longevity sect also received invitations to the ceremony of passing on the throne of the head of the longevity sect.
Su Yanyan and Xing Huiguang spent several days interviewing Guan Chao and other elders respectively, asking who approved and who opposed, to ensure that no one would cause trouble on the day of the passing ceremony.
Although this possibility is slim, after all, it involves the majesty of the sect and the face of the leader, so it cannot be ignored, and the process must be followed.
In the Daozi Cave of Tianxian Peak.
Chen Dengming picked up the magic pen in his hand and pretended to write on the jade slip. He quickly put it down helplessly and turned to look at He Yingyu in the hall who was dragging the little array spirit to choose a suitable robe style and said.
"Sister, I told you, our longevity sect already has the master's robe, just wear that robe. Why bother to refine another one? It will take too much spiritual material and will be tiring for you."
"it's okay no problem."
He Yingyu spread out several designed pictures in front of Xiao Zhenling. She was so busy that she didn't even look back.
"Hey, I told you, junior brother, you don't have to worry about anything, just listen to me.
The robe of the head of the sect is good, but after the ceremony, when we receive guests at the banquet, it is not good to still wear the serious robe of the ancient sect.
Let’s dress more glamorously. Not only you, but also Black Panther, will look great that day.”
With that said, He Yingyu took out a few more jewel-like saddles that were going to be refined for the Black Clouded Leopard, and showed them to Chen Dengming with a smile.
"Look, a man relies on his clothes, and a leopard relies on a good saddle. I deliberately designed this saddle to reveal the two rows of words under its belly, so that Taoist friends from all over the world know that this is our Chen family leopard."
At the entrance of the cave, the black clouded leopard was poking its head, raising its ears, and eavesdropping. When it heard this, its eyes suddenly shone, and it let out a restrained laugh with its mouth wide open. It seemed that it had imagined that the Chen family leopard was taking steps that it would not recognize its relatives, "the leopard fakes the power of the tiger" moment.
"Hey, it's up to you. As long as you don't find it troublesome and are happy, I'm fine with it."
Chen Dengming shook his head, and suddenly saw with his sharp eyes that among the women's robes designed by He Yingyu, there was actually a style of "glossy stockings". He couldn't help but be stunned. He stared at it for a moment, a little stunned.
"Senior sister, you didn't mean to say that you only wear it in the cave and don't show it to outsiders."
He Yingyu exclaimed, her pretty face immediately turned red with two eye-catching flowers, she blushed, hurriedly put away the drawings, cast an angry look at Chen Deng and said.
"This is what I wore in the cave that night. It was originally a surprise benefit secretly prepared for you, but you are too sharp-eyed."
The little Zhenling watched from the side with her cheeks flushed, trying to pretend to be innocent, but the redness quickly spread to her ears and pink cheeks like a plague.
Chen Dengming understood it, held his forehead, turned his head, and read the spiritual text with peace of mind. He didn't say more or ask any more questions. He just let his sister make the arrangements.
At this moment, he felt that his experience of more than a hundred years was not enough.
He was still too young, and he had already lost his ability to teach him so quickly, and his sister had gradually taken the lead.
However, this is good. It can be regarded as a cultivation that has no age and has been in a trance for hundreds of years. In the indifferent career of cultivating immortals, there are not many that can still make people feel the atmosphere of 'human feelings', 'red dust' and 'fireworks'.
Cultivation, cultivation.
One person and one mountain are immortals.
When a person is in front of the mountain, he is like an immortal.
If the cultivation of immortality reaches the end, and the initial trace of humanity is completely lost, wouldn't it mean that the word "immortal" is missing, and it is like a mountain.
There is no sense of the mountains and rocks, the vicissitudes of the sea, all kinds of human feelings, and the mist of the past.
Who I used to be, a human or a ghost, I'm afraid it has all been forgotten and lost. What about never forgetting your original intention and everlasting immortality?
