When monks break through the realm, they often invite a few friends to celebrate and share their practice experiences.
Either to show off oneself or to intimidate the enemy, holding a grand banquet is indispensable.
And the banquet is not just about eating and drinking, but also a place to make friends with others. After all, the banquet attendees are usually monks of the same level. It is beneficial for everyone to discuss Taoism and practice together.
Today, there are often two types of the most common and important ceremonies.
One is the Golden Elixir Ceremony, which celebrates the monk's initial attainment of immortality, his first name in the world of spiritual practice, and his status as a number one figure.
The second type is the God-Transformation Ceremony, which celebrates that the monks have reached the end of the Third Realm and can call themselves the God-Transformation Ancestors, dominating a country with unparalleled majesty.
The state of transformation into gods is the limit of the mortal world, and it is an unattainable goal for most monks.
Therefore, the God Transformation Ceremony is often extremely grand. It is a grand gathering for one force and a good opportunity to intimidate enemies and make friends from all over.
Of course, there are some monks who have broken through a foundation building or a purple mansion, and they also hold some kind of foundation building ceremony. The purple mansion ceremony is purely to receive some congratulatory gifts and make up for the shortfall.
Such a so-called foundation-building ceremony is naturally unacceptable.
Only the Golden Elixir Ceremony and the Divine Transformation Ceremony are the two most special and can best represent the monk's progress.
On one side of the god-transformation force, one of the god-transformation ancestors is about to hold a god-transformation ceremony. It must be from all over the world. Forces from millions of miles around will basically come to participate, giving the new god-transformation a face. A generous congratulatory gift will also be prepared.
In the grand ceremony of the God-Transforming Ancestor, those Jindan Masters and Yuanying Masters who were usually powerful figures could only sit outside and look up, while the God-Transforming Ancestor was high in the palace, high above them.
But this is just an ordinary ceremony, or a ceremony only suitable for ordinary gods.
Although the grand ceremony held by the Penglai Taoist Sect was spread far and wide, there were not many who were qualified to come.
The Qinghua Taoist Sect in Luzhou in the Central Region, the Tianhe Taoist Sect in Luzhou in the Southern Region, the Demon Emperor Palace in Luzhou in the Northern Region, plus the Dajin Zen Temple, Datianlong Temple, and the Four Seas Dragon Palace in Luzhou in the Western Region.
In addition to these nine families, there are only some forces sitting in the True Lord series who came to participate.
The people who came to visit the ceremony were all Dharma masters.
Only the Dharma is equivalent to this Penglai Ceremony.
Because this is the Dharma Ceremony held by Penglai Taoist Master, and it is also the power handover ceremony of Penglai Taoist Sect.
I don't know how many forces want to try the methods of Penglai, the new generation of palm sealers, in this ceremony, and Penglai Taoist Sect naturally refuses all comers.
Even the grand ceremony was specifically scheduled for the summer of thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight in the Shanhe Calendar, leaving sufficient preparation time for all parties.
In the words of Patriarch Dejing, "Since they all want to test my Penglai attitude and see my Penglai methods, let them all come."
"The thing Penglai is not afraid of the most is temptation. Let them come, and let them take a good look at the capabilities of our new generation in Penglai."
The Patriarch Qingyan acquiesced to this.
The two founders made up their minds and launched this grand event to advertise to the world.
In the Yunzhu Peak, Jiang Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the Cloud Palace. A Taoist with a body of no more than seven feet was sitting on the cloud bed. In front of him stood four big demons who were three feet tall and had green faces and fangs. .
The four Nascent Soul demons, Qingniu, Golden Lion, White Elephant, and Qingpeng, stood there with unusual restraint. The palace was so quiet that the demon could not help but feel his heart beat faster.
Jiang Sheng was only wearing a green robe at this time, his hair was tied up in a bun with a jade hairpin, his expression was indifferent, he was holding a scroll of scriptures in his left hand and flipping through it at will, while he was pinching it in his right hand. Holding a broken jade tea cup, strands of fragrance spread in the hall, ethereal and elegant.
"It's normal that no one is found in the East China Sea. I'm just asking you to give it a try. I don't expect you to really be able to find the person."
Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, the four demons let out a long sigh of relief, and their hearts returned to their stomachs.
Lin Fan has not come back yet. Jiang Sheng has to meditate in the sect and cannot leave the sect. He can only ask the four demons to search for him.
But Jiang Sheng also knew that this was looking for a needle in a haystack, and he was just asking the four demons to try their luck.
"You guys go down and have a rest. You are tired from this trip. Go find Le Fang and get a batch of precious medicine and spiritual fruits from my expenses."
"Thank you, Master. .”
The four demons left with smiles on their faces.
For Jiang Sheng right now, ordinary elixirs and spiritual fruits have no effect. Even giving Jiang Sheng another fairy peach will be in vain.
The reality of yin deficiency and yang is the slow tempering of the soul. The soul changes from yin to yang, from the yin god to the yang god, and then ignites the yang fire, breaking through the realm and refining the emptiness. It is not something that can be achieved overnight. .
There are still two years left, Jiang Sheng plans to use this time to practice some magic weapons.
Every kind of spiritual treasure was displayed by Jiang Sheng, including the Flame Dragon Lock, the Jade Dragon Gold Plate, the Mysterious Jade Whisk, the Exquisite Tortoise Shell, the Six-story Golden Pagoda, the Five-Coin Magic Sword, the Moon-breaking Star Picking Gourd, and the Meteor Jade Dragon. Must whisk.
There is also the six-tailed soul-seeking flag that Jiang Sheng has never shown in front of others.
The Qingping Sword and the Four Elephants Spiritual Sword were kept by Jiang Sheng in the Zi Mansion, accompanying the Yuanshen.
Unlike the Qingping Sword, which is a natal magic weapon, the Four Elephants Spiritual Sword was made by throwing a clone of Taoist Yuchen into a furnace for sacrifice. These spiritual treasures in front of him all belong to others, and Jiang Sheng has to sacrifice them again. Do some exercise.
The well-behaved ones who can be used will be kept, and the ones who are useless will be used as resources. There is nothing to regret.
In the deep palace, all kinds of spiritual treasures shined brightly, floating in front of Jiang Sheng, constantly coming up to express their intimacy.
The most well-behaved among them is the six-tailed soul flag.
They were all re-sacrificially sacrificed by Jiang Sheng and marked. The damaged ones were warmed and nurtured in turn, and the undamaged ones were put into his sleeves.
This sacrifice alone took Jiang Sheng several months.
In addition, Jiang Sheng reorganized "Lingyuan Zhenren's Sutra on the Destruction of Yin and Yang Tribulation" to look for gaps.
All this is done to prepare for the following ceremony.
Master Tianshu has told Jiang Sheng that someone will definitely come to test Jiang Sheng and Lingwei's abilities during this ceremony. Penglai's face is at stake, and Jiang Sheng cannot afford to lose anything.
While the Penglai Taoist Sect was preparing for the ceremony with great fanfare, various forces were also selecting their personnel.
This Penglai Ceremony can be said to be the last grand event in the world of mountains and rivers before the great tribulation. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to see the background of others.
As the time gets closer and closer to the Penglai Ceremony, envoys from all forces are also arriving one after another.
The East China Sea has become extremely busy, and almost every day you can see the Dharma Master rushing to the Penglai Island.
The ceremonial guard of each Fajiao is majestic, with Taoist soldiers leading the way, strong men accompanying them, and many disciples accompanying them. The Fajiao decorated with various rare treasures demonstrates the extraordinary status of the owner.
In order to show respect for the envoys from all parties, all the elders welcoming guests in Penglai this time are in the realm of transformation.
Only those in the state of transformation into gods are qualified to receive ministers from all forces.
The vast East China Sea is rippling with blue waves.
The sky was clear one moment, and the sky was gloomy the next.
When the creatures on the East China Sea looked up, they could see the shadow covering thousands of miles, which was clearly the guard of honor of a great force.
The Dharma boat of thousands of feet lies across the sky, surrounded by many Dharma boats of thousands of feet.
The banners of the Tang Dynasty were flapping, and the Taoist soldiers in plain armor stood on the Dharma boat, demonstrating the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
This time the Tang Dynasty sent Li Yuanzong, the Supervisor of the Qin Dynasty, and Su Yajun, the Acting Heavenly Master of the Luoyang Dao Palace. In addition, members of the direct lineages of the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty came to watch the ceremony, and the Tang court A number of good seedlings are also among them.
For example, Xu Xingxuan of the Tang Academy and Mo Qing of the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty were both good young talents of the Tang Dynasty and die-hard loyalists of the Tang Dynasty.
Another example is Gao Yuan, the legitimate son of the Gao family, and Wu Ji, the legitimate son of the Wu family. As expected, Li Yan was among them.
This time Datang sent such a grand lineup not only to congratulate, but also to ask for help from Penglai.
Today Datang and Jiang Sheng have a close relationship. Li Zhen hopes to maintain a good relationship between Datang and Jiang Sheng so that Datang can survive this disaster safely.
Qianji Sect’s True Lord Shenji came in person this time, and also brought Yan Xiao, his direct disciple, and some good talents from Thousand Machine Sect to give them a long experience.
Instead of those bulky boats, the Divine Lord was riding a long machine dragon.
The long machine dragon with a length of 100,000 feet is like a majestic mountain range stretching across the sky, soaring into the clouds and mists, majestic.
Shenji Zhenjun sits on the dragon's head, with Yan Xiao standing beside him, and the other disciples of Qianji Sect standing behind.
When the Dharma Master of the Void Refining Level travels, there will naturally be strange phenomena around him. The sky is bright, the clouds are shining in the sky, and a dragon with a hundred thousand feet is galloping across the East China Sea. The Dharma Masters around him are so startled that they all give way.
Only one side of Xiaguang Yunqi goes hand in hand with the Lord Shenji without any fear.
Above the glowing clouds, there was a huge purple gold gourd.
There is a jade chair placed on the purple gold gourd. An old man holding a small cauldron in his hand is sitting on the jade chair with a smile. Many disciples stand on both sides.
The clear light flowing behind this old man's head, and the vast energy around his body, he is also a true king at the Void Refining level.
As the Purple Gold Gourd and the long machine dragon continued to approach, the old man immediately smiled and said: "Shenji, I didn't expect you to come too."
On the long machine dragon, the True Lord Shenji looked at The old man on the purple gold gourd couldn't help but smile: "Yunding, you are still talking about me, aren't you here too?"
The old man on the purple gold gourd is the master of Danding Pavilion, True Lord Yunding.
Since True Lord Shenji and True Lord Yunding came here in person, they naturally knew the value of this Penglai ceremony.
With the arrival of several true kings, the Penglai Dao Sect's grand ceremony became more and more eye-catching.
Today, the only invitations sent out by Penglai are the envoys from the Four Seas Dragon Palace and the envoys from the holy places of all places who have not yet arrived.
The Four Seas Dragon Palace is going to advance and retreat together this time, so it has to wait for everyone to gather, and the holy places from all sides are naturally qualified to be the last to arrive.
When there were only seven days left before the ceremony, the messenger from the Sihai Dragon Palace arrived.
On this day, there were suddenly overcast clouds, heavy rain and strong winds over the East China Sea.
The originally calm sea surface set off one wave after another.
When a true dragon travels, it is naturally accompanied by wind and waves.
Accompanied by the sound of the dragon's roar, many shrimps, soldiers and crabs will fly into the clouds and ride in the mist, and various aquatic gods will accompany the dragon chariot in all directions.
Looking around, there is a real dragon sitting on each of the four dragon chariots.
The Green Dragon of the East Sea, the Red Dragon of the South Sea, the White Dragon of the West Sea, and the Black Dragon of the North Sea, the four princes of the Dragon Palace in the Dharma Realm opened up their ceremonial guards and headed straight for Penglai Immortal Island.
The Four Seas Dragon Palace does not need the Dragon Lord to support the scene. No one dares to underestimate the Dragon Palace's heritage.
However, as soon as the ceremonial guard of the Sihai Dragon Palace came into the sky, the sky was suddenly covered with evil spirits.
Even the vast ceremonial guards of the Four Seas Dragon Palace were blocked by evil spirits.
Facing the overwhelming demonic aura, the majestic and arrogant Prince of the Sihai Dragon Palace did not force his way in. They all looked at the gorgeous palace flying towards the place where the demonic aura was filled with gloomy expressions.
It is a palace complex composed of many pavilions and palaces. It is extremely gorgeous and shining.
The name of the palace is: Baiju Palace.
Baifu Demon Lord, the Heavenly Demon of the Void Refining Realm in Luzhou Demon Emperor’s Palace in the Northern Territory.
This time, the Demon Emperor Palace is clearly using Demon Lord Bai Zu as its envoy, and there are also several qi machines in the Dharma Realm. It must be the princes of the various palaces of the Demon Emperor Palace generation.
The palaces covering thousands of miles drove toward Penglai with great arrogance, paying no attention to the Sihai Dragon Palace.
The Demon Emperor Palace naturally has this confidence and arrogance.
Back when the Demon Emperor’s Palace integrated the demon clans of the Northern Continent and caused chaos on the earth, the Four Seas Dragon Palace hid in the sea and no one showed up.
Qinghua Daozong, Penglai Daozong and others who have had head-to-head confrontations with the Demon Emperor Palace naturally respect the Demon Emperor Palace, but they are not very fond of the dragons in the Sihai Dragon Palace. .
The Dragon Clan controls the world's water tribes and controls the world. They have such great power but cannot make any waves. The Demon Emperor's Palace scorns this.
In the White Falcon Palace, the Demon Lord White Falcon, with eagle claws and tiger skin, and black feathers and snake tails, looked coldly at the Sihai Dragon Palace Fajia who was forced to stop by him, and sneered: "The Four Sea Dragon Palace is really getting better and better, and there is not even a Dragon Lord. Dare to send them out, for fear of being embarrassed again."
"Don't worry about them this time, pay more attention to those in the three sects and two temples, and see how many of them are qualified in these human holy lands."< br>
At this time, there were several figures exuding the aura of Dharma standing beside Demon Lord Baiju.
Among them are the geniuses of the Xiangliu clan and the Bashe clan.
When the forces of Demon Emperor Palace also arrived in Penglai, the Dharma Masters of Qinghua Dao Sect and Tianhe Dao Sect also arrived.
This time, Tianhe Daozong, Master Chenghe and Master Chengjun came to watch the ceremony with a group of seedlings who were expected to be high-grade golden elixirs.
Qinghua Daozong, Master Mingxing and Master Mingjing came with some good seedlings.
Both Xuanmen, the Tianhe Dao Sect and the Qinghua Dao Sect are all acquaintances.
Except for the elders of Dharma, the team is led by the true successor of the Nascent Soul Realm of Heavenly Dao.
For example, Mingyou of Tianhe Daozong and Xuanjing of Qinghua Daozong.
The True Inheritance of Nascent Soul Realm brought the disciples of Zifu Realm here, indicating that they were here to congratulate rather than to fight.
The Daitianlong Temple and the Daijin Zen Temple are different.
Although the two Western Buddhist temples did not send King Ming or Venerable from the Void Refining Realm this time, the envoys were also famous Dharma Masters from the two families.
Not to mention Yongxin and Yongping of Datianlong Temple, Huiyuan and Huitong of Daijin Zen Temple, not to mention the old Dharma Masters, they also sent out the true transmission of Dharma Realm.
Juezhen of Datianlong Temple and Guanghe of Dajin Zen Temple, as the most famous people in this generation of Buddhist scriptures, they are the future Mingwang and Venerables in the Taiyi Yuanshen realm.
This time, Datianlong Temple and Dajin Zen Temple sent these two people with the express purpose of weighing the weight of Jiang Sheng and Lingwei.
As all forces gathered in Penglai, it was finally time for the Penglai Dharma Ceremony to begin.
The summer of thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight years in the Shanhe Calendar.
A loud bell rang from the Penglai Taoist Sect.
Dong~dong~dong~
The nine bell ringings represent the solemnity of this ceremony.
At this time, above the Penglai Island, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Around the bright sun, a faint twinkling of stars could be seen.
The sky is full of flowers and the air is misty.
In Yunzhu Peak, the palace door that had been closed for two years slowly opened, and the Taoist sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed opened his eyes.
A golden light flashed in those eyes that were neither sad nor happy. (End of chapter)
