Liu Ming looked at Mo Tian's portrait, and thoughts turned in his mind.
Right at this moment, Mo Tian's mocking laughter echoed in his ears.
Liu Ming frowned slightly, but he didn't show any reaction on his face.
Subsequently, under the lead of Liu Ming, Qing Cong, and Qing Gu, the Qing family members began to line up on the incense table and worship the portrait. At the same time, they silently recited some prayers.
The sacrificial process was similar to the Middle Sky Continent's human race.
After worshiping the ancestors, Qing Cong turned around again and stood in front of the high platform.
"According to the Qing family's ancient teachings, the elder who enters the mystic realm and takes out the illusion seed can directly take over the position of Qing family's patriarch. However, the situation has changed. Although no one obtained the illusion seed in the mystic realm, Elder Liu found a way to extend the lifespan of the Qing family members. This is a great merit that can affect the Qing family's future. Elder Liu's magic power is profound. After discussing with Elder Qing Gu, we decided that from today onwards, Elder Liu will take over the position of Qing family's patriarch. "
Most of the Qing family members were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.
Most of the Qing family cultivators didn't know that Liu Ming brought out the Triple Light River Luo Diagram from the mystic realm, except for a few higher-ups in the family.
The problem of lifespan had always been a big worry for the Qing family. For tens of thousands of years, the patriarchs and elders of the Qing family spent countless efforts but to no avail. At this moment, they suddenly announced that they found a way to extend their lifespan. How could they not be ecstatic?
After all, once the problem of lifespan was solved, it meant that their cultivation would have a greater chance to improve.
"Patriarch, is this true?" A grey-robed elder at the Jin Dan realm asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course. I've tried the method that Elder Liu brought out. Although it will affect the cultivation speed of some Heaven Illusion Great Arts, it can indeed greatly reduce the loss of lifespan. After the ceremony, the family will start preparing so that everyone in the family can benefit. "Qing Cong said with certainty.
The grey-robed elder was overjoyed. He looked at Liu Ming gratefully and retreated.
The other Qing Family cultivators were in an uproar. Qing Cong had been in charge of the Qing Family for a thousand years and could be said to be highly respected in the family. Since he said this with such certainty, it was naturally not a lie.
"Alright, since there are no objections, then from today onwards, Elder Liu will be the thirty-fourth Patriarch of my Qing Family," Qing Cong said loudly with a solemn expression.
Liu Ming stood up with an indifferent expression.
Everyone from the Qing Family cupped their hands and bowed to Liu Ming, saying in unison, "Greetings, Patriarch!"
"Everyone, there is no need to be so courteous. Today, I, Liu, will definitely work hard for the prosperity of the Qing Family. I hope everyone can help me." Liu Ming said faintly. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Everyone present felt as if a magical stone had fallen into their minds. Then, an uncontrollable ripple appeared in their hearts. In an instant, it turned into a huge storm that swept out.
Everyone present was shocked, but right at this moment, the Spirit Storm suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"We will obey the Patriarch's instructions!" Everyone from the Qing Family had a change in expression, and the way they looked at Liu Ming was different.
"Hehe, Liu brat, your perception is rather good. Through the sacrificial refining of the Celestial Tablet, you actually grasped some of this Lord's Spirit Storm secret art." Mo Tian's voice sounded in Liu Ming's mind.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Qing Cong and Qing Gu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Just now, the two of them were also affected, but with their cultivation, they were naturally able to suppress it easily.
Qing Gu had already seen Liu Ming's strength in the mystic realm, so he wasn't too surprised. Qing Cong's evaluation of Liu Ming immediately increased by another level.
He took a step forward and flipped his hand with a solemn expression. After the multicolored light rolled out, a simple and unadorned green jade tablet suddenly appeared in his hand.
Immediately after, Qing Cong bent his waist and delivered the jade tablet to Liu Ming with both hands and said, "This item is called the Overturning Earth Tablet. It is the keepsake of the Qing Family Patriarch. Patriarch, please receive the tablet!"
Liu Ming received the jade tablet, and everyone from the Qing Family on the high platform bowed to Liu Ming again.
At this point, the Qing Family Patriarch succession ceremony was almost over.
There was no need for Liu Ming and the others to participate in the remaining trivial matters. The matters outside were handed over to some housekeepers to handle. Liu Ming, Qing Cong, and Qing Gu returned to the Qing Family's main hall again.
Liu Ming played with the green jade tablet in his hand. This tablet was long in shape with a pointed top and bottom bottom. The upper half was translucent and emerald green, while the lower half was an earthy yellow color. It had a rather beautiful appearance.
The bottom of the green jade tablet was engraved with dark green runes and three ancient demonic texts.
Overturning Earth Tablet!
"Patriarch, please take a seat of honor." Qing Cong suddenly stopped in the main hall and cupped his fist at Liu Ming.
On the side, Qing Gu also bowed and cupped his fist.
Liu Ming nodded. He was now the patriarch, so it was natural that he sat on the main seat. Qing Cong and Qing Gu sat beside him.
"Patriarch, how do you plan to deal with the Three Light Painting? My intention is to let the clansmen use the Water of Three Light as soon as possible to delay the loss of their lifespans. "Qing Gu hesitated slightly and asked carefully.
When Qing Cong heard this, he also turned his head and looked over.
Since Liu Ming had already taken over as the patriarch, these major matters naturally had to be decided by him.
"Elders, you don't have to report everything to me like this. I've said before that I don't have much experience in managing the family. Do you have any good ideas?" Liu Ming laughed bitterly and said.
Qing Cong and Qing Gu looked at each other. Then, Qing Gu rubbed his bald head and cupped his hands again.
"Regarding this, I have a suggestion. I hope the patriarch will accept it."
…
A few days after the patriarch succession ceremony, the Qing family began to build a large palace in the manor.
Then, the new patriarch, Liu Ming, and the two elders, Qing Cong and Qing Gu, personally set up layers of Restrictive Formations in the main hall.
Half a month later, the palace named "Three Brightness Palace" was finally completed. The entire palace was covered in all kinds of demonic inscriptions. There were also several powerful Formation Prohibitions set up around the palace. It seemed that this building was very important to them.
Just when the Qing family members were confused, Liu Ming finally announced the purpose of the Three Light Palace.
Only now did everyone know that the method to extend their lifespans that they had been looking forward to was in the Three Light Palace.
In the center of the Three Light Palace was a pond with a diameter of about an acre. A faint black mist rose from the pond, and the silvery liquid in the pond could be faintly seen. Streaks of silvery air swirled on the surface of the pond like silver snakes. The water in the pond was the Water of Three Light.
The ground around the pond was covered with all kinds of mysterious patterns. The silvery mist rose up, but after rising for a few meters, a layer of white light screen appeared above the pond, blocking the mist.
Liu Ming and the other two stood near the pond and looked at the situation. They nodded secretly, obviously quite satisfied.
"I didn't expect the Family Head to have such deep attainments in the field of Restrictive Formations. With the power of Restrictive Formations, you were able to open a semi-permanent entrance in the Triple Light Illustration and guide the Water of Three Light into the pool. This way, you can save yourself the process of opening the Triple Light Illustration," Qing Gu praised.
"Elder Qing Gu, you flatter me." Liu Ming smiled faintly, but a trace of melancholy flashed in his heart.
Speaking of which, most of these Restrictive Formations were learned from Qian Ruping. Now that he had left the Wild Continent for a hundred years, he did not know how Qian Ruping and Ye Tianmei were doing.
"Now that everything is ready, from tomorrow onwards, we can let the Qing family cultivators soak in the Three Light Pond to delay the loss of their lifespans. This matter will be handled by Elder Qing Gu, "Liu Ming said after thinking for a while.
"Yes." Qing Gu bowed and accepted the order.
Next, the three discussed the specific use of the Three Light Temple.
After all, there were many Qing family cultivators, and it was impossible to provide for everyone to use at the same time.
After some discussion, the three of them decided to give priority to the existing Real Pellet State cultivators of the Qing family to use the Three Brightness Palace. The cultivators below the Real Pellet State would exchange for the time to enter the Three Brightness Palace according to their contribution to the Qing family.
"And this." Liu Ming waved his hand, and a gray Jade Slips appeared in his hand.
"I found this Jade Slips at the place where the Three Light Painting was stored. It is a cultivation method left behind by the Demonic Sky ancestor called the Illusory Dream Art. It is similar to our family's Great Heavenly Illusion Technique. I have checked it carefully, and this cultivation method should be quite compatible with our family's cultivator physique. "As Liu Ming said this, he handed the Jade Slips to Qing Cong.
Qing Cong's body trembled when he heard this. He received the Jade Slips with trembling hands and probed it with his divine sense.
After a long time, Qing Cong suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground. A moment later, a layer of faint purple light appeared on his body like a dream.
When Qing Gu saw this, he revealed an excited expression.
However, Liu Ming's expression was calm.
After a moment, Qing Cong opened his eyes, stood up, and said with great surprise.
"Family Head is right. This cultivation method is indeed compatible with our Qing family's physique. According to the results of my test just now, although this Illusory Dream Art is relatively slow to cultivate, it does not have the fatal flaw like the Great Heavenly Illusion Technique. Furthermore, this cultivation method is profound, and its power in fights is not inferior to the Great Heavenly Illusion Technique. It seems that this cultivation method was specially left for us by the Demonic Sky ancestor."
Qing Gu was also overjoyed when he heard this. Not only did he obtain a method to prolong his lifespan, but he also obtained a new cultivation method. How could he not be happy?
"In that case, this Illusory Dream Art will be handed over to Elder Qing Cong to be in charge of imparting it to the young disciples in the family." Liu Ming said with a faint expression.
"Yes, I will obey the Family Head's order." Qing Cong's expression turned solemn. He carefully put away the Jade Slips and bowed to accept the order.
Early the next morning, Qing Gu immediately announced the rules for using the Three Lights Temple to all the Qing family members. The Qing family cultivators naturally did not have many objections to this decision.
The Three Lights Temple was immediately opened to the Qing family cultivators. After soaking in the Three Lights Water to cultivate, they felt that the loss of their lifespan had slowed down a lot.
Moreover, the appearance of the Illusory Dream Art surprised the Qing family cultivators again and again. After knowing that the Illusory Dream Art was also brought out by Liu Ming from the mystic realm, the Qing family cultivators were even more grateful to Liu Ming.
