Qing Cong's eyes lit up when he heard Qing Gu's words.
"Haha! I originally planned to pass the position of Patriarch to the person who obtained the Seed of Illusion, then go into seclusion to break through to the Mystic Understanding realm. I don't have much lifespan left, and the Great Illusion Technique consumes a lot of lifespan. Now that I have this water, I can go all out. "
Qing Gu's eyes flashed a few times when he heard this. He suddenly turned to the side and cupped his hands towards Liu Ming.
"Qing Gu congratulates Elder Liu in advance."
"That's right. I was so happy that I forgot about this matter. Liu Ming, since you solved the problem of our Qing family's short lifespan, even if you didn't obtain the Seed of Illusion in the secret realm, the position of Patriarch will definitely belong to you. After all, with the help of this water, our Qing family won't have to worry about not having a day of prosperity. "
Liu Ming didn't show any surprise. He also cupped his hands and replied calmly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch. I will naturally bow to you. However, I'm not good at managing the family, so I will still have to rely on Elder Qing Gu. "
As he spoke, he made a hand sign with one hand. The water of three lights around Qing Gu returned to the white scroll like a whale sucking in water. Then, he waved his hand and took the white scroll into his hand.
"Elder Liu saved my life in the secret realm, Qing Gu knows that I can't repay it. In the future, as long as Patriarch asks, I will definitely do my best. "Qing Gu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Liu Ming, half a month later is an auspicious day. I can take this opportunity to hold a grand ceremony for you. What do you think? "Qing Cong said with a smile.
"That's not a problem, but I don't like to be too ostentatious. This matter can only be limited to within the Qing family. There's no need to make it too public." Liu Ming thought for a while and said so.
Qing Cong nodded and looked back at the dim hexagonal formation, then at the glowing white scroll in Liu Ming's hand. She sighed softly and said, "It's time for you to leave.
"I didn't expect the secret that the Demonic Sky Ancestor mentioned back then was this Grotto-Heaven Spirit Treasure. Now that the troubles that have plagued my Qing Family for tens of thousands of years have been resolved, and this mystic realm has also completed its mission, if it collapses, then so be it. Liu Ming, when you become the Patriarch, this place will be my closed-door training place. No one is allowed to take even half a step inside. "
When Liu Ming and Qing Gu heard this, they naturally nodded in agreement.
After the three of them discussed for a while, Liu Ming and Qing Gu took their leave.
…
After Liu Ming left the Great Hall, he didn't immediately return to the cave at the back of the mountain. Instead, he went to the Ten Thousand Book Pavilion where the Qing Clan stored all kinds of ancient books.
He stayed in the Wan Shu Pavilion for a few hours before leaving. Then, he went straight back to the cave residence in the back mountain.
Liu Ming closed the door of the abode and activated all the restrictions in the abode before heaving a sigh of relief and returning to the secret room to sit down cross-legged.
Although this trip to the mystic realm only lasted for one to two days, there were many dangers during this period. The two demons that he encountered at the end were the two most powerful Celestial Phenomenon cultivators he had seen in all these years, apart from the mighty figures in the Mystic Enlightening realm.
If it wasn't for Mo Tian's assistance and the support of the restrictions, he couldn't guarantee that he could kill the two so easily.
Finally, after obtaining the Triple Light River Luo Diagram, he was almost buried in the collapsed mystic realm.
Liu Ming sat quietly for a moment. Suddenly, he waved his hand and two things appeared in front of him. One was a fist-sized gray demon core, and the other was a big black gourd.
This gray demon core was the Jin Dan of the grey-robed snake lady. The demon core of a late-stage Celestial Phenomenon cultivator was quite useful to Liu Ming and was quite precious.
It was a pity that the other man with a hooked nose who was at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon was directly turned into ashes by the Illusory Demon Heart Flame in the Demonic Pupil of Illusions. The Jin Dan was also burned.
As for the black gourd, it contained some Three Light Water.
This water was somewhat similar to the Heavy Water of the Styx River that he had refined in the past, but it emitted a dense devil qi.
"The Three Light Water is similar to the Heavy Water of the Styx River. It is also a kind of water essence that has the effect of purifying the body's magic power and cleansing the divine soul. Therefore, it can delay the loss of the Qing Clan's cultivator's lifespan. At the same time, this water also contains a lot of yin qi, which is harmful to the devil body. Ordinary devils can only use this item to slightly cleanse the devil body's magic power, but you don't have to worry about this. The Dark Bone Art that you cultivate uses the pure yin qi to cultivate. You can use the Three Light Water to purify your magic power. It will be very beneficial for you to advance to the mid-stage Celestial Phenomenon. "Mo Tian's voice came out from Liu Ming's body.
Liu Ming nodded in response. When he first came into contact with this item in the mystic realm's valley, he felt that this Three Light Water was extraordinary. He had just read through many ancient books in the Ten Thousand Book Pavilion and confirmed that what Mo Tian said was true.
Having made up his mind, he immediately flipped his hand and kept the gray demon core. He silently circulated the Dark Bone Art, and his body gradually emitted a thick black qi.
A moment later, he pulled out the stopper of the black gourd and gestured with one hand. A wisp of silver liquid that was lingering with black qi shot out from the gourd.
Liu Ming's eyes lit up. As he chanted, symbols flew out one after another.
The silver liquid suddenly spread out and turned into a silver mist. It slowly integrated into Liu Ming's body.
The black light on the surface of Liu Ming's body flickered for a moment and emitted an even purer black light.
A look of joy appeared on his face. With a single thought, the black light emitted from his body swelled even more, completely enveloping his body within it.
…
Half a month passed by in a flash. A pale purple light shot over and landed outside of Liu Ming's cave dwelling. It was a young man in a white robe.
The young man in a white robe glanced at the door of Liu Ming's cave dwelling. He tidied up his clothes and waved his hand to send a message talisman into the cave dwelling.
After a moment, the door of the cave dwelling opened and Liu Ming slowly walked out from inside.
His face faintly exuded a layer of white fluorescence. The aura on his body was purer than it was three days ago.
However, the young man in a white robe was just a cultivator at the early stage of Jin Dan. So, he naturally couldn't sense these things.
"Greetings, Elder Liu. The patriarch has sent this junior to pass on a message. The patriarch's succession ceremony is ready. We're waiting for Elder Liu's arrival." The young man in a white robe bowed respectfully to Liu Ming and said.
Liu Ming nodded. Then, the two of them flew towards the main hall of the Qing Clan.
At the same time, flags were fluttering in every corner of the Qing Clan. Gorgeous five-colored clouds were fluttering in the sky. The entire place was bustling with noise and excitement.
The buildings of the Qing Clan also looked colorful under the effect of the restrictive spells. The spirit trees and flowers were also blooming everywhere.
The most eye-catching thing was that a high platform had been built out of thin air in the Qing Clan's manor.
The Qing Clan's manor was filled with people. The hall masters and stewards who were outside also came back one after another.
Liu Ming scanned the manor with his divine sense. There were already several thousand Qing Clan cultivators gathered in the manor today.
However, the Qing Clan didn't invite outsiders to the ceremony this time. Half of this was Liu Ming's idea. The other half was because Qing Cong was about to go into a life-or-death cultivation. He naturally didn't want to be too ostentatious and attract unnecessary trouble.
The two of them quickly arrived at the main hall. Qing Cong and Qing Gu were arranging various orders. When they saw Liu Ming come in, they went to greet him.
Qing Cong looked Liu Ming up and down and said with bright eyes, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a few days. Elder Liu's cultivation seems to have improved. Congratulations."
"Patriarch, you praise me too much. I've only just gone through a life-or-death tribulation and gained some enlightenment. My Fa Li hasn't grown much," Liu Ming said modestly.
"Elder Liu, you don't have to be so modest. Looking at your current cultivation, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can advance to the middle stage of Heaven." Qing Gu praised.
"That's right. On my way here, I saw the clan's preparations for this ceremony. There doesn't seem to be such a big commotion, right?" Liu Ming said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, Elder Liu, what are you talking about? The appointment of the patriarch this time is different from before. Elder Liu doesn't cultivate the Heavenly Phantasmal Technique and has a long lifespan. Furthermore, you brought out the Water of Three Light from the secret realm and solved the problem of our clan's short lifespan. How can we not celebrate such a joyous event?" Qing Cong said with a chuckle.
"Exactly. Elder Liu, there's no need to decline." Qing Gu also laughed at the side.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled helplessly and didn't say anything else.
Qing Cong pulled Liu Ming to sit on the main seat while he sat slightly away from Liu Ming. He began to introduce the Jin Dan cultivators of the Qing Clan to Liu Ming one by one.
Although Liu Ming had been an elder of the Qing Clan for decades, he had always lived in seclusion. Most of the Qing Clan cultivators who were outside had never seen him before. When he was introduced, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.
By noon, the preparations for the succession ceremony were almost complete.
Qing Cong stood up and looked at Liu Ming as he said, "Elder Liu, let's go to the high platform and begin the succession ceremony."
"Alright!" Liu Ming nodded, stood up, and walked out of the main hall.
They immediately turned into rays of light and landed on the high platform.
Rows of armored elite Demonic Cultivator guards were already standing around the high platform with stern expressions.
After Qing Cong stood still, he waved his hand. Immediately, dozens of Qing Clan cultivators below the high platform blew their horns at the same time. The impassioned sound of the horn immediately spread in all directions.
Three large chairs were placed on the high platform. Qing Cong immediately invited Liu Ming to sit on the chair in the middle. He and Qing Gu stood on either side of Liu Ming.
The Jin Dan cultivators of the Qing Clan stood still below the high platform. Behind them, they stood still one by one according to the level of their cultivation. Nearly ten thousand eyes looked at Liu Ming and the others.
When the sound of the horn stopped, Qing Cong suddenly stood up, walked forward a few steps, and announced in a clear voice:
"This trip to the Sky Fantasy Mystic Realm ended half a month ago. Today, I have gathered everyone here for the succession ceremony of the Qing Clan's ancestors. First, we will begin to worship our Qing Clan's ancestors."
As soon as Qing Cong finished speaking, a group of Qing Clan cultivators wearing azure robes carried all kinds of sacrificial spirit artifacts, as well as all kinds of incense, candles, and strange fruits. They hurriedly set up the high platform in an extremely orderly manner. After a while, they built an incense table.
Rows upon rows of the Qing Clan's ancestors were placed on it. At the highest point hung a portrait of a masked man in a black robe. It was Mo Tian's portrait.
