In the next three days, in addition to practicing diligently, Bai Liming also did two things.
First, he returned home and told his parents that his younger brother had been kidnapped by the demon. Of course, he hid the fact that he was almost killed so as not to worry his parents. He only emphasized repeatedly that his younger brother's life was not in danger and that he would come back sooner or later.
After hearing this, her mother couldn't help crying, but her father seemed much calmer and found an opportunity to talk to Bai Liming alone to learn the details of the incident in Xijing.
Baili Ming did not hide anything, and told the story of how his younger brother sacrificed himself to save his ancestor and himself.
After his father Bailiping pondered for a moment, he said: "Although Ping'er is temporarily safe, the demon has always been hypocritical and cunning. It cannot be believed. If Ping'er loses its use value, he will be in danger, Ming'er
You still have to find a way to save your brother."
Before leaving, Bailiming's face was as dark as water, he knelt on the ground, and solemnly promised his parents:
"Mom and dad, don't worry, I will definitely bring my brother back."
After that, he rushed to Longmen Island and met his master, Elder Tian.
After Elder Tian carefully examined his body, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Bai Liming felt anxious and couldn't help but ask: "Master, can this disciple condense the elixir again?"
Elder Tian sighed and comforted:
"What Li Yitang said is true. It is difficult to condense the elixir again. However, you don't have to be discouraged. Pursuing the avenue of heaven and earth is like climbing a mountain. Since this path of practicing Taoism is not accessible, you can still try other methods."
His eyes were burning and he said loudly:
"As long as you climb up, you will always reach the top of the mountain. If there is no road, you will open up a new road by yourself. Go straight into the depths of the white clouds, and your majesty will spread."
Hearing this, the gloom that had accumulated in Bai Liming's heart was instantly swept away:
"Yes, if there is no way, there is no harm in finding a new path! If you sink like this, how can you live up to your parents' earnest hope, how can you live up to your younger brother's life-saving efforts, how can you live up to your best friend's companionship in life and death, and how can you live up to Zhenzhen?
All the expectations you have for yourself.”
Elder Tian saw the sparkle in Bailiming's eyes and knew that he had rekindled his fighting spirit. He nodded happily and continued:
"Since you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into the power of spiritual seeds, try to use the Taoist magic. There is no bad magic, only people who don't know how to use it. Illusion magic and illusion array are not useless, they can also defeat powerful ones.
enemy."
Baili Ming has a deep understanding that the multiple illusions arranged by the Old Star Demon can trap even the Patriarch of the Wisdom Realm and the Star Lord of the Merit Realm. He can also do it if he works hard on his own practice.
"And the power of your divine soul and the power of your spiritual seed complement each other, and can exert more powerful power. Furthermore, the monk's body is also a powerful weapon, and the Nine Nether Breaking God Technique created by the corpse player can also be practiced."
After Elder Tian's analysis, Bailiming suddenly became enlightened and became more confident in his practice.
"In the past few days, I will sort out the soul spells, illusion spells, and illusion array spells that are suitable for you. Then you can try more."
Hearing this, Bailiming hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
Elder Tian waved his hand and added:
"In addition, you can ask the Patriarch for the power of the soul. He knows more about how to practice it. As for recondensing the elixir, don't worry, you will always find a way."
…
On the second day, the memorial ceremony for Shengyang Xingjun's emergence was held as scheduled.
The square in front of Kaiyang Palace was crowded with people. All the inner disciples, mages, elders and the head of Kaiyang Palace were standing in an orderly manner.
Everyone was silent, and the drop of a pin could be heard at the scene. Everyone was waiting with a heavy heart for the ceremony to begin.
A square high platform was built in the center of the square, measuring one foot in diameter.
On the high platform, Shengyang Xingjun was lying quietly on his back in purple robes, as if he was asleep.
In front of the high platform, Taoist founder Li Yukong stood as tall as a pine tree. He lowered his hands and looked deeply at the hazy sky above Kaiyang Hall, lost in thought for a long time.
As a deep bell rang, Li Yukong sang in a sonorous voice:
"When the merits are fulfilled, the soul returns to heaven, and rides a crane into a chariot and rides into the sky."
All the disciples, masters, and elders all agreed in unison: "When the merits are fulfilled, the soul returns to heaven, and rides on a crane into a chariot and rides into the sky."
The voices echoed in the square, like rolling thunder, shocking the hearts of the people.
The sound waves merged into a unique rhythm, like rippling ripples, spreading outward in circles, echoing throughout Kaiyang Island. Echoing throughout Kaiyang Lake.
As the chanting ended, Li Yukong slowly stretched out his hands, and three sticks of incense appeared out of thin air in his hands. They spontaneously ignited without wind, and curls of green smoke rose.
Li Yukong first put up a stick of incense in the middle and recited: "Submit your destiny with one heart and one heart, the Supreme Way is infinite."
As soon as he finished speaking, a picture of Yin and Yang appeared above the high platform, like a huge umbrella cover, shrouding Shengyang Xingjun below. As the picture slowly rotated, not long after, a golden elixir came from Shengyang.
It flew out of the mouth and suspended in mid-air.
Li Yukong placed another stick of incense on his right side and recited: "Submit your destiny with one heart and one mind, Beidou Conquers Demons Sutra."
After saying this, the phantoms of the Big Dipper shone brightly, appeared in the sky, and slowly rotated. After the handle pointed north, it stopped rotating.
Then, the golden elixir in mid-air slowly fell, coincided with the Kaiyang Star, and actually became part of the phantom of the Big Dipper.
Li Yukong finally put up a stick of incense on his left side and recited: "Submit your destiny with one heart and one mind, the true master of the Seventh Patriarch of Xuanzhong."
Suddenly, the body of Shengyang Xingjun trembled slightly, and pieces of broken soul overflowed from the center of his eyebrows.
The fragments of the soul floated in the air, slowly pieced together, and finally transformed into the lifelike appearance of Shengyang Xingjun.
Suddenly, Sheng Yang's soul flew towards the Big Dipper in mid-air, and instantly submerged into the golden elixir at the position of the Kaiyang star.
Suddenly, the golden elixir shone like a morning star. Finally, it slowly landed on a golden tray.
Chen Songyan, Shengyang Xingjun's direct disciple, raised the tray with both hands and followed Li Yukong step by step.
Li Yukong stepped up the steps and walked into Kaiyang Hall with steady steps.
In the center of the hall, the Kaiyang Cauldron has emerged, trembling slightly and seeming to be emitting bursts of mournful cries.
Li Yukong came to the Kaiyang Cauldron, pinched the Dao Jue with his hand and pointed forward. Shengyang Xingjun's golden elixir slowly floated up, rose into the air, and fell into the Kaiyang Cauldron.
At this time, another imprinted leaf on the relief of the Fuyao Sacred Tree became withered.
…
After the memorial ceremony, everyone left the venue one by one.
Many elders and leaders looked worried and hurried away first with angry expressions.
And a group of inner disciples were also whispering and wondering.
Just now, Li Yukong announced the position of Kaiyang Xingjun, and he will temporarily act as his deputy. There is nothing wrong with this.
However, according to common practice, Star Lords are all born from the disciples of the direct lineage of previous Star Lords, and their cultivation must reach the state of merit.
However, among Shengyang Xingjun's direct disciples, Chen Songyan, who has the highest level of cultivation, has only reached the peak of the True Realm, and is still two realms away from the Fude Realm. This means that Kaiyang Palace will be destroyed by the Tianshu Palace lineage.
Long-term control has caused dissatisfaction among many elders and chiefs.
Bai Liming was not disturbed in his heart. After all, his level was low, and it was not his turn to dictate the power struggle within the Taoist sect.
At this time, Chen Songyan passed by him. When he saw Bai Liming, his face froze, and then he nodded expressionlessly to him as a greeting.
However, when the direct disciples behind him saw him, their faces showed anger and their attitudes were extremely bad.
Bai Liming was puzzled, but then he realized it after thinking about it. The Taoist sect claimed to the outside world that Lord Shengyang Xingjun died because of saving himself, and it was normal for his disciples to be angry with him.
After all, the difference in weight between a low-level disciple of his and the Star Lord of the First Palace is too big, so he is not worthy of being saved.
He shook his head helplessly and was about to leave with the team. At this time, a Taoist boy hurried over, bowed and saluted:
