"The 280th generation disciple Qiu Changtian will serve as the chief disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm from today onwards. Grandmaster, please be informed."

Master Ziwei held three long incense sticks in his hands, solemnly inserted them into the incense burner, and spoke loudly.

The voice echoed in the Patriarch's Hall, and the elders all looked solemn.

Outside Kunlun, in the countless cave dwellings, the big guys from all walks of life also felt something, and when they looked up, they realized that the position of the chief of Kunlun's Foundation Establishment Realm had changed.

After the chief ceremony, Master Ziwei waved his whisk again, and a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown floated over and landed in Qiu Changtian's arms.

The Taoist robe is called "Xingxiu Yidu Robe". It feels as smooth as silk when touched, but there are no needle holes or seams when you look closely. The style is the same as the Taoist robes worn by the inner disciples of Kunlun, with almost no major difference.

Only the constellation map of the Twenty-Eight Mansions embroidered on the back includes the "Four Symbols Constellations Formation", which can be used to defeat the enemy and save one's life. It is said that Xu Changqing activated the Four Symbols Constellations Formation on his Taoist robe at the last moment, and was able to barely save his life in the lava ocean formed by thunder.

Then he saw that a bunch of magic weapons and flying swords were destroyed when he was undergoing the heavenly tribulation, but this Taoist robe was intact, without even a single burn mark, so he knew how powerful it was.

The crown is called "Sun and Moon Condensed Crown". It has the same appearance as the crown of the inner disciples, but the front is embroidered with a sun in silver thread, and the back is embroidered with a moon. There are two kinds of Taoist magic that can be activated:

One is the "Big Sun Wheel Method", which can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh and blood after being activated. It is a magical skill that can prolong life by hanging on to blood.

One is the "Xu Yue Ying Fa", which can calm the three souls and six spirits after being activated, and can make one immune to mental attacks.

One heals and restores health, the other dispels negative states, plus the Taoist robe's Four Symbols Constellations Formation, which means that when a chief in the Foundation Establishment Realm puts on this outfit, his survivability will increase several times in an instant.

Qiu Changtian thought for a moment and realized that the purpose of the design of this Taoist robe and hat was to tell the chief to concentrate on breathing and refining his Qi, and to focus on improving his cultivation, instead of worrying about whether he could win the battle with others outside.

"Go to the back hall to change clothes, and then go into the inner hall to meet the founder." Master Ziwei ordered.

Qiu Changtian bowed silently, then entered the back hall carrying his Taoist robe and Taoist temple.

In an empty corner, he put on the attire that symbolized the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm, then pulled out the Jade Dragon Sword and examined his own appearance in front of the shiny blade.

Yes, I have a dignified appearance, worthy of being me. The majesty of the chief immediately emerges.

Qiu Changtian rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the depths of the back hall with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

This ancestral hall is usually not open to the public, and he has never been here before. He just heard people say that it seems to be filled with incense and spirit tablets of many great patriarchs of the Chan school.

Walking through the long memorial table, Qiu Changtian saw a door at the end.

I pushed open the door and the view suddenly opened up, and I was already outside.

Just three steps ahead was the edge of the cliff, and below was an endless sea of ​​clouds, which was quite similar to the secret realm of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace.

There is another stone staircase that connects to the edge of the cliff and leads to the top of a mountain opposite.

There seemed to be no object supporting the stone steps, as if they were floating in the air, ignoring gravity.

Qiu Changtian curled his lips, then carefully stepped onto the first step to test its stability.

Well, it's very stable, no shaking at all.

Judging from the length of this stone staircase, it is most likely some kind of magical restriction that does not follow the laws of physics, so there is no need to worry about it collapsing halfway through.

Qiu Changtian climbed up the stairs and felt that the weather was sunny and beautiful, which was completely different from the knife-like wind blowing over the Kunlun Snow Peak outside.

The stone steps under his feet were also stable, supporting his weight effortlessly.

When he reached the end of the stone steps, Qiu Changtian saw that the top of the mountain was not very large, with only a lonely small temple.

An old man was sitting on a stone bench in front of the temple gate, staring at a stone table in a daze.

The stone table is carved with crisscross patterns, like the longitude and latitude of a Go board, with black and white pieces spread out in an interlaced pattern, seeming to be evenly matched.

The old man stroked his beard with his left hand and used his right hand to place a white piece, then a black piece, and then a white piece again, saying:

"Wait a minute, let me finish this game of chess..."

Qiu Changtian bowed and then stood respectfully by the side, not looking at the chessboard, just without saying a word.

If it were the protagonist of any novel, the male protagonist would suddenly give some advice on the chess game. The old man would ponder for a moment, and would be immediately astonished and look at him with new eyes... But unfortunately, Qiu Changtian does not know how to play Go.

Even if he knew how to play, he couldn't figure out the old man's personality. What if he didn't like others to interfere or talk too much? Wouldn't he be self-defeating?

Fortunately, the old man did not let him wait. After only thirty or forty moves, the winner was decided.

The long sleeves swept across the chessboard, making all the chess pieces disappear. The old man then turned around and said with a smile:

"Very good, you are a sensible person. Are you the new chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Greetings, Grandmaster." Qiu Changtian bowed quickly, "Junior..."

"No, no." The old man said with a smile, "It's rare to see someone with a clear mind. I know that."

He pointed his hand towards the inner hall and said:

"Go ahead. Since you didn't disturb my interest, I'll give you a tip: if you're not up to it, you can take a rest for a while."

Qiu Changtian: ???

What does it mean? Sleeping when you encounter difficulties?

However, the old man did not seem to want to give a detailed answer. He just waved his sleeves and the door of the small hall opened.

Qiu Changtian hurried in and saw that the hall was not very large, about thirty square meters.

There is an incense table against the wall in front, and on the table is a statue of "Taiqing Realm Great Red Heaven Daode Tianzun".

In front of the incense table, there is a tattered cushion, and its purpose is self-evident.

Taiqing, Shangqing and Yuqing, the three Pure Ones enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Three Pure Ones of the Chan teaching today, are not some great powers of the Chan teaching in history, but personifications of the Great Dao.

Therefore, Qiu Changtian knelt down without any psychological pressure and began to pray silently:

"Disciple Qiu Changtian, currently the chief disciple of Kunlun Taiqing Sect at the foundation-building stage, may the master bless this disciple..."

As he thought of this, he suddenly realized that some mysterious force descended from nowhere and began to invade his dantian.

To be precise, after this power penetrated into the Jade Palace, it began to rapidly rotate his Qi Sea True Essence, and continuously penetrated and repaired the defects on the inner wall of his Jade Palace.

Kneeling here can actually increase my cultivation level!

Qiu Changtian was overjoyed and immediately cooperated with the circulation of Qi to speed up his cultivation.

However, as more and more mysterious power seeped in, he suddenly felt as if his body was out of control and his mind became dizzy.

He subconsciously tried to bite the tip of his tongue to stay awake, but suddenly he remembered the advice of the old man outside, so he slowly relaxed without making a sound, and soon his consciousness was completely dominated by sleepiness.
