This is the main reason why Bai Mei has never passed the position of sect leader to Dan Chenzi.
But now the situation is urgent, and Bai Mei has no choice but to ascend to another dimension.
Li Yao transformed into a golden ray of light and landed on the plaza at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei.
Bai Mei had already sent Duan Lei to welcome Li Yao.
Li Yao glanced at Duan Lei and said, "Your sword looks pretty good. Can I take a look?"
Duan Lei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course!"
As he spoke, he handed the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword in his hand to Li Yao.
At the same time, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart: Why does this person like to look at other people's swords?
He remembered that a few days ago, Li Yao had seen Li Yingqi and Chang Kong Wuji's Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords.
After receiving the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword, Li Yao played with the sword while simultaneously replicating it.
Li Yao discovered that the power of the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords.
As for Duan Lei, in the original storyline, he was originally a couple with Cheng Letian.
However, since Cheng Letian had already become Li Yao's disciple, she did not come to Mount Emei to become a disciple herself, and naturally she no longer had any contact with Duan Lei.
Duan Lei is a rising star in the Emei Sect. Because of his high level of martial arts skills, he is in charge of teaching other disciples.
Led by Duan Lei, Li Yao arrived at a quiet room.
In the quiet room, besides Bai Mei, there was also Xuan Tianzong.
Without much thought, Li Yao knew that Bai Mei probably planned to hand over the position of Emei Sect Leader to Xuan Tian Sect before ascending to immortality.
When Bai Mei saw Li Yao arrive, he quickly gestured for Li Yao to sit down.
The three sat together.
In the middle of the three of them was a huge, pointed rock, around which were many pillars arranged in a certain pattern, forming a yin-yang symbol.
"As you all probably already know, the combined attack of the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords failed, Chang Kong Wuji died, and Li Yingqi remains unconscious."
"Although I have used Chang Kong Wuji's primordial spirit to reshape Wuji into Lian Xing."
"However, the reconstructed Lian Xing has lost all of Wu Ji's memories, and his cultivation can only be fully restored after he awakens his enlightenment."
"Only when Lian Xing's magical power is restored can he continue to work together with Li Yingqi."
"I, Bai Mei, have been in charge of Emei for two thousand years, and the torch has been passed down from generation to generation for two thousand years."
"Now that the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring has entered Chi You's Blood Cave, he will soon master unparalleled demonic arts and launch another attack."
"I have already lost the Haotian Mirror, and I'm afraid that even I won't be a match for the Youquan Blood Demon."
"Therefore, I can only ascend to other dimensions to find more powerful weapons to deal with Youquan."
Bai Mei said with an unusually solemn expression.
Xuan Tianzong frowned and said, "If a True Person ascends to immortality, that is, leaves this world and can never return, then what will happen to the Emei Sect?"
"I am truly ashamed that among all the disciples of Emei, not one is worthy of the position of Emei Sect Leader."
"Originally, Dan Chenzi was the most suitable candidate, but although his cultivation was high, he lacked willpower and was impulsive, making him unsuitable for great things and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the leader of the Emei Sect!"
“Xuantian Sect, although you are a disciple of Kunlun, Kunlun and Emei have always been closely connected and belong to the same lineage of Shu Mountain.”
"You are probably the most suitable person for the position of Emei Sect Leader!"
Bai Mei looked at Xuan Tianzong and said.
"Master, I am young and inexperienced, and I am afraid I am not up to the task!"
Xuan Tianzong quickly declined.
“Xuantian Sect, please don’t refuse. You have profound cultivation and are steady in your dealings. You are truly the only candidate to become the leader of our Emei Sect.”
Bai Mei insisted.
“Yes, Xuantian Sect, you are indeed very suitable to be the Emei Sect Leader.”
Li Yao, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
Xuan Tianzong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I will do my best to shoulder the responsibility of being the Emei Sect Leader."
"To avoid disrupting morale, my ascension this time is top secret, and you must not reveal it!"
Bai Mei gave a very serious reminder.
"Master, how can I notify you if anything happens after you leave?"
Xuan Tianzong looked at Bai Mei and asked with some confusion.
"I cannot notify you. You can only improvise. You must rely on my spiritual power, the Southern Ming Fire. As long as the fire is there... so is the person!"
Bai Mei said with utmost solemnity.
Immediately, with a thought, an extremely dazzling blue flame appeared before him, like an ice crystal.
The flame was extremely gentle, with absolutely no scorching sensation.
"This is my spiritual power, 'Southern Bright Fire'!"
Bai Mei looked at Xuan Tianzong and solemnly reminded him, "Xuan Tianzong, you must keep this safe. When I find a suitable weapon in the Second Space, you will need the Nanming Li Fire to control it."
"Yes, it's a real person!"
Xuan Tianzong nodded solemnly.
"To save Mount Shu, the new weapons found in the second space are probably far from enough!"
Li Yao suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any good suggestions?"
Bai Mei looked at Li Yao.
"Three Elements United as One!"
Li Yao softly uttered those four words.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Li would also know about the Three Elements Unity!"
Bai Mei shuddered.
What does "the unity of the three elements" mean?
Xuan Tianzong asked with a puzzled look.
"The unity of the three elements means that three forces are integrated into one: the power of the spirit, the power of the universe, and the power of rebirth."
Li Yao explained.
"Fellow Daoist Li is indeed very knowledgeable!"
Bai Mei exclaimed in surprise, then added, "The Nanming Li Fire I left behind after my ascension is my spiritual power. And the weapon I found after ascending to the second space is the power of the universe. As for the third power of rebirth..."
"The power of rebirth lies within those who are destined for this calamity. Only by comprehending this power can one achieve the unity of the three elements."
"Otherwise, even if we obtain the other two powers, it will be in vain."
Li Yao picked up where Bai Mei left off, and said quietly.
Chapter 629 The Power of Rebirth
"The one destined for disaster?"
Bai Mei and Xuan Tianzong frowned simultaneously.
"In fact, every time a great calamity occurs in the world, there will be people who are different from ordinary people and who will be the ones to face the calamity."
"Those who are destined for this calamity will endure immense trials and tribulations on one hand, and receive the combined fortune of heaven and earth on the other, thus gaining the power of rebirth."
As a modern person, Li Yao had access to far more information than Bai Mei and Xuan Tianzong.
According to his understanding, whether in the world of film and television dramas or in the world of novels, a great calamity often occurs.
In the midst of this calamity, there will always be chosen ones who are destined to be born, and these chosen ones are the protagonists of this world.
The protagonist will endure trials and tribulations that ordinary people cannot withstand.
However, because they are blessed with good fortune, they cannot die no matter what.
Through countless trials and tribulations, the protagonist gained powers that ordinary people could not obtain.
In the world of "The Legend of Shushan", Xuantianzong is the protagonist, and he was resurrected and gained the power of rebirth.
"I see!"
Bai Mei certainly understood the reasoning behind it, after all, he had lived for thousands of years and had encountered many calamities.
This was the first time he had ever heard the term "the one destined for calamity."
At the same time, after Li Yao's explanation, he gained a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Judging from the rate at which the spiritual energy of Mount Emei is disappearing, the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring will soon master the demonic arts. The situation is urgent and we can't wait any longer. I must ascend as soon as possible and go to another space to find a weapon."
Bai Mei said with a solemn expression.
"Master, what should we do if our disciples come looking for you?"
Xuan Tianzong quickly asked.
“You don’t need to worry. They don’t usually dare to approach here easily. They usually use the method of spiritual communication to find me.”
"The Nanming Li Huo Society will transmit my image to them. You just need to imitate my usual tone of voice."
After speaking, Bai Mei used the method of spiritual communication to announce to the disciples of Emei that he would pass on the position of Emei Sect Leader to Xuan Tian Zong.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he claimed that he had gone into seclusion to cultivate and comprehend supernatural powers in order to deal with the Netherworld Blood Demon.
Bai Mei holds extremely high authority within the Emei Sect.
Therefore, the group of Emei disciples had no doubts about what Bai Mei said.
Having arranged everything, Bai Mei placed his Nanming Li Fire on a high platform.
