Of course.
But before that, I must first make arrangements for my two exhausted Senior Brothers.
Xuanqing stood up and picked up the Child of Jin Ling and Yin Ling who were lying on the ground, and placed them on the bed in the guest room of the Taoist temple.
With a wave of his hand.
In order for the two to rest well, he arranged an isolation formation above the bed, blocking out the noise and movement from the outside world.
After all this was done.
Xuanqing returned to his own room.
With a thought in his mind.
“Sign out of the game!”
When he opened his eyes again!
He had already returned to Qingping Temple.
“Open Character Panel!”
Xuanqing chanted silently in his heart.
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Body of Merits (Transformation 99%)
[Grade]: Taiji Left Palace Registered Fairy Officer Controller Thunder Order Matter (Grade Six)
[Cultivation]: Integration of Void Stage (Mid Stage)
[Cultivation Method]: Food-Qi Decree
[Divine Ability]: Fate Dragon Control Chapter («), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Minor Accomplishment), Five Elements Talisman Array (Perfection)
[Ingot]: 262011
Worth mentioning is.
When Xuanqing refined the seventy-sixth Chaos Pill, his cumulative incense count reached two million, and his rank as an Immortal Official was promoted from Grade Six to a regular Grade Six.
And the transformation of his physique has already reached 99 percent. As long as he takes the last Chaos Pill, he will be able to completely transform into a Chaos Virtue Holy Body.
However.
The two child-like beings were extremely tired. After all, the work of eighty-one months was forcibly compressed into just over ten months.
“Today is the thirteenth day of the month, and in two days it will be the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony!”
Xuanqing calculated in his heart.
With eighty-one Taoist temples plus Qingping Temple, he can gain over thirty thousand incense offerings a day, and now, thirty days have passed.
“During this period, the incense should have accumulated more than nine hundred thousand.”
However.
He is not in a hurry to use his Ingots right now. He has placed several Gathering Qi Beads in each Taoist temple and doesn’t have to worry about overflowing.
Also, the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony is about to begin, and Huai Qingyun will definitely attend, so he hasn’t planned to let Huai Qingyun go to collect the Gathering Qi Beads, to prevent missing the time. It’s not too late to go after everything is done.
Two days later.
Jiang City.
Tiger Dragon Mountain, Heavenly Master Mansion.
The place was crowded with people, and it was bustling with activity.
The holding of the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony attracted Daoist priests from all over the country, some alone, some with their younger generations, all converging on Tiger Dragon Mountain to witness the new generation of Heavenly Masters.
Not only the Daoist priests.
The most numerous attendees of the Taoist Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony were the believers, men and women, young and old, and even many devout believers. Even if they were missing limbs, blind, or deaf, it did not stop them from coming here to worship.
Zhang Liang was a devout believer of Taoism, and in addition, he was also a UP Master, mainly popularizing some history, ceremonies, and responsibilities of Taoism.
“Hello everyone, I believe you can see that the Heavenly Master Mansion of Tiger Dragon Mountain is right behind me.”
Zhang Liang held a selfie stick in his hand and turned around, capturing the surroundings on his camera.
If you look closely, you can see a dense barrage on the mobile screen.
“Wow- So many Daoist priests-”
“Gee, a live broadcast of the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony, let’s watch Elder Zhang Liang.”
“Eh, look over there, there’s a cute little Taoist boy.”
“Elder Zhang, aren’t you addressing us as Daoist friends today?”
Zhang Liang laughed and shook his head while looking at the dense barrage of comments.
“Guys, usually it’s fine, but in such an occasion today, we can’t just say anything we want. I’m merely an UP Master who enjoys Taoist culture, not a Daoist priest.”
As he spoke,
he held up his phone, filming around and introducing various cultural elements of Tiger Dragon Mountain and Heavenly Master Mansion.
“The place you are seeing now is called the Mansion Gate, or Head Gate. Look, there are dozens of thick beams…”
“The top of the couplet reads ‘a celestial guest in the Kirin Hall’, while the second line reads ‘Prime Minister’s house in the Tiger Dragon Mountain’…This couplet originates from…”
Zhang Liang tapped to focus, allowing his viewers behind the screen to better appreciate the scenery at the gate.
As he entered the main gate, he came to the second gate, also known as Yi Gate.
Rumor has it that even in ancient times, kings had to alight from their carriages under the Yi Gate to show respect.
“Everyone, once you pass the Yi Gate you have officially entered the Heavenly Master Mansion. I will speak less from now on, but I will answer some barrage questions by text.”
Just as Zhang Liang was explaining,
a young Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist robe and a ceremonial hat, with a handsome face, came in front of Zhang Liang.
“This layman is the UP Master Zhang Liang we are expecting, right? Please follow me to the back court. There’s a unified arrangement for video bloggers like you for this Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony”
“Oh, okay, okay, I appreciate the guidance then, Priest!”
Zhang Liang bowed slightly. Although he was not a disciple of Daoism, he made a standard Taoist etiquette gesture.
Seeing this,
The young Taoist priest was slightly stunned and his impression of Zhang Liang improved significantly. His face showed a warm smile and he appeared even more enthusiastic.
The disciples of Daoism are like this. They are straightforward. They express whatever they feel, and if you respect them, they will respect you in return. They treat kindness with kindness and hostility with straightforwardness!
Upon arriving at the back court,
Zhang Liang saw many video bloggers and journalists holding up their phones or carrying cameras just like him.
What’s more,
there were also many blonde foreign journalists.
Speaking of which,
Although Taoism doesn’t have a strong presence among the people in Yan Country, it is well-known internationally. Especially Taoist medicine and philosophy, which can be found in libraries of many universities abroad.
Of course,
this Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony also attracted many foreign journalists to the Heavenly Master Mansion on Tiger Dragon Mountain to gather firsthand news for their reports.
After waiting for about two hours,
the young Taoist priest who had previously appeared showed up again in front of everybody.
“Fellow laymen, the ceremony is about to begin. Please line up in an orderly manner and go to your respective places.”
Everyone’s spirits lifted. It was finally about to begin.
Whether they worked for a TV station or were avid Taoist followers like Zhang Liang, they were all looking forward to this Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony.
Wan Fa Zong Altar.
This was a massive square. In ancient times, when the need arose, the emperor would hold a ceremony to worship heaven here. It’s also the venue for each Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony.
At this moment,
The entire altar was divided into several circles.
The core was naturally made up of the presidents and directors of Taoist Associations from all over, and witnesses such as Taoist priests.
The second circle consisted of visitors from various churches, including bald monks, pastors holding scriptures, and some local churches from ethnic minorities, etc.
The third circle was made up of media personnel and self-media people, etc.
The last one was composed of worshippers from all over the country who came to observe the ceremony.
The entire altar was surrounded and packed to the brim!
Finally,
An old Taoist priest with a violet pattern on his cuffs and collar walked onto the altar and picked up the microphone on the table.
“The sixty-fifth Taoist Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony begins!”
