I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 389 - 66: Like Mountains and Seas, We Pay Our Respects to the Taoist

Chapter 389: Chapter 66: Like Mountains and Seas, We Pay Our Respects to the Taoist

"After all, you are a True Immortal reincarnated, with limitless prospects in the future. I will lend you a hand; ultimately, to whom the Immortal Artifact falls depends on your fate and fortune."

With that, she raised her hand slightly, casting a beam of golden light that, upon landing in Lu Chengfeng’s hand, transformed into a thirty-three-layered Golden Pagoda. Upon closer inspection, one could notice that it resembled a miniature Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, albeit somewhat transparent, as if condensed from golden light.

"By holding this pagoda, you may borrow the power of the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre to assist in refining that Immortal Artifact. As for the result, it is up to you."

Lu Chengfeng rejoiced and exclaimed, "Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing the treasure."

Yi Hongchen nodded slightly. ’Yi Wushuang’ and Chu Tiange, whoever is the reincarnation of Chu Xiangtian, will undoubtedly reveal a part of themselves during their struggle.

The fiercer their contention, the more they expose themselves in the end.

"I will see who dares to keep me in the dark."

Yi Hongchen’s thoughts flashed through his mind, and he said with an indifferent tone, "This matter is done, I should return to the Grotto Heaven. May you all focus on Tao in the future; internal strife will not be tolerated, otherwise, severe punishment will follow."

With that, an immensely radiant Immortal Light blossomed from her body. The Cyan Simurgh beneath her flapped its wings, emitting a clear and melodious phoenix cry.

"We bid farewell to Qingxu Taiwu True Monarch."

Everyone in the Sect bent their knees to bid farewell to the departing Immortal.

Amidst the swirling Immortal Light and resonant phoenix cries, endless purple aura surged toward Central State.

After a long time, when the celestial phenomena completely dissipated, the crowd slowly returned to their senses.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on Lu Chengfeng, who was conferred the title of Taoist by the Sect’s True Immortal. This is an exceptionally special title, signifying the hope of becoming a True Immortal.

In terms of esteem, his status in the Sect was on par with that of the Sect Leader.

To be personally conferred as Taoist by a True Immortal, what an honor it is?

Lu Chengfeng sat quietly on the Cyan Lotus Heart Inquiry Platform, draped in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, as the thousand-mile purple aura and golden light gradually faded. He gazed at the people present with a somewhat playful look.

Thud!

Unbeknownst to him, an Elder from the Tao Vein proactively knelt in front of Lu Chengfeng.

The other Tao Vein Elders exchanged glances, but after brief hesitation and sighs, they followed suit.

Before long, even the Elders and True Inheritors who were not initially in the Dharma Form Hall arrived.

The Taoism and Martial Lineages Elders knelt in the hall, while the True Inheritors and ordinary disciples knelt outside.

Yi Mingshu resumed his seat upon the throne, and the grand array of the Sect was activated. Endless Immortal Light surrounded the sky above the Dharma Form Hall, forming a resonant golden bell.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The bell’s toll reverberated between heaven and earth, ceasing only after eighteen peals.

When the bell stopped, everyone in the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect except the servants gathered at this place.

Yi Mingshu slowly descended from the throne, clasping Lu Chengfeng’s hand, "Wushuang, come with me."

He looked at his son with an indescribable sense of relief and joy. Originally, he had some doubts and concerns about ’Yi Wushuang.’

But now, having been personally endorsed by the Ancestor, no one could challenge ’Yi Wushuang’ based on identity; even the reincarnation of an Immortal was backed by the Ancestor.

All the pressure and worries in his heart vanished.

Lu Chengfeng followed suit, descending from the Cyan Lotus Heart Inquiry Platform.

Yi Mingshu led Lu Chengfeng once more to the ancestral tablets.

There were three tablets in total, the central one inscribed with the characters Heaven and Earth, the left with Celestial Lord Lingxiao of the Mysterious Method, and the right with Qingxu Taiwu True Monarch.

"Today, as the Immortal Venerate bestows upon you the title of Taoist for the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, this is a great event for the Sect, worthy of reporting to the Ancestors."

"Yi Wushuang, step forward."

Lu Chengfeng acted as commanded, first bowing to Heaven and Earth, then to Celestial Lord Lingxiao, and finally to Qingxu Taiwu True Monarch.

After the bows, unlike last time, the three tablets exuded Immortal Light, weaving together in the air above the main hall, ultimately condensing into a Dharma Seal, which then surged into Lu Chengfeng’s glabella.

Lu Chengfeng’s expression turned slightly dazed as he saw the Dharma Seal enter his consciousness sea, hovering above it, autonomously channeling Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, refining the physical body and Primordial Spirit — a rare Magical Treasure.

"Wushuang, this is called the Sect Tao Seal, governing the sect’s authority, capable of initiating the grand array, unlocking the sect’s treasury, mobilizing the sect’s Tao Soldiers and Guardians, and issuing sect’s decrees."

"Similar to the Sect Leader’s Dharma Seal in effect, albeit without the authority of the head Sect Leader. In terms of status and authority, it equals that of the Sect Leader."

"From today onward, you are the Taoist of our Celestial Law-Controlling Sect. Bring out the Tao Seal."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng willed it, and the Tao Seal appeared in his left hand.

Yi Mingshu led him forward, arriving before all the kneeling Elders.

"Today the Taoist returns to his rightful place, won’t you kneel and pay respects?"

Despite Yi Mingshu’s gentle voice, it resounded throughout Lingxiao Peak like a breeze.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Lingxiao Peak, including the servants, respectfully knelt down, shouting, "We pay respects to the Taoist."

"We pay respects to the Taoist."

"We pay respects to the Taoist."

Three bows ended, and the mountain reverberations ceased.

Silence covered heaven and earth.

Actually, in terms of status esteem, the Taoists of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect throughout history surpass the Sect Leader, for the Taoist has the potential to become an Immortal, which alone is enough to overshadow everything else.
