Ji Changsheng's behavior shook many people.
Some suspect that Ji Changsheng has indeed lost his mind.
Others suspect that Ji Changsheng is indeed being wronged.
But if Ji Changsheng is being wronged, Old Madam Bai is not a fool, why insist on using the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda for verification?
Although merit can be transferred, merit given by outsiders and one's own merit are completely different, and will definitely not deceive the validation of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda.
A copy of the Mirror of Demon Revealing can be wrong, but the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda can never be wrong.
Where did the problem come from?
Even the Master himself is feeling uncertain now.
He gazed deeply at Ji Changsheng, wondering in his heart if this child has really been influenced by Li Changxi?
He is clearly the one who did it.
Where did he get the confidence to dare to accept the verification of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda?
But as Ji Changsheng voluntarily requested the test, if the Master forcefully protected him, it would be too unreasonable.
The Master had no choice but to agree to Ji Changsheng's request, nervously hoping for the best inside.
The grade of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda is too high, he can't control it right now, and there is no room for any cheating on behalf of Ji Changsheng. It depends solely on Ji Changsheng.
Before using the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, the Master cautioned, "The Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda is Mystic Temple's premier Divine Artifact and our Mystic Temple's greatest foundation. The utilization of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda is no trivial matter. If it is confirmed that Ji Changsheng is enveloped by blood demons and his merit has substantially decreased, he will be punished according to the law. But if Ji Changsheng proves to be wronged, Bai Guanlin will also have to pay the price. Sister Linglong won't be able to protect Bai Guanlin at that time, do all of you understand?"
The highest status in Mystic Temple has never belonged to any person.
Even if that person is Fairy Linglong, she can't shake the status of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda.
Because the true form of Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda holds supreme power in the Primordial Immortal Realm and is controlled by the most powerful Saint, this is the foundation of the Mystic Temple's enduring prosperity.
In the Primordial Immortal Realm, Mystic Temple has a firm foothold.
Otherwise, how could it become the number one immortal sect in this world?
Background determines everything - Ji Changsheng's understanding has always been accurate.
To put it in a harsh way, even if Bai Guanlin did commit a murder, it wouldn't be a big problem, it could always be covered up.
But if its confirmed by the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda that Bai Guanlin has indeed committed a murder, Fairy Linglong wouldn't be able to cover it up, either.
Other powerful sects, there are gods every three feet above.
But when the Mystic Temple uses the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, there is a Saint every three feet above them.
Bai Guanlin felt the gravity of the situation.
All eyes were on him, including those of the Bai family.
Old Madam Bai hesitated for a moment.
Although she believes there is a 99% chance that Ji Changsheng has lost his mind and has been influenced by Li Changxi.
There is still a 1% chance that all of this was orchestrated by Bai Guanlin himself.
"Liner, this is your last chance."
Old Madam Bai's words had a double meaning.
If it was truly you who did it, if I throw away my dignity now and abandon the verification, it isn't too late.
Jiang Boqing also sent a message to Bai Guanlin at this time: "Liner, if you really did it, it's not too late to quit now."
Bai Guanlin saw in the eyes of his own people—they didn't believe him.
Then heard the reminder from Old Madam Bai, and the message from Jiang Boqing.
His emotions overpowered his rational thinking in an instant.
"Verify, verify right now. I don't believe in this, can evil suppress justice? I'm innocent, I haven't done anything, no one can wrong me."
Ji Changsheng chuckled: "Those should be my lines. You're even trying to steal those, you're truly disgraceful."
Bai Guanlin's eyes were red: "Ji Changsheng, when your true nature is revealed, I want to see if you can still be as arrogant."
Ji Changsheng scorned: "You know nothing about the gold content of me, Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole."
Li Changxi nodded.
Yes, she thought.
Probably under the heavens, only I understand my junior brother.
Being invincible is indeed lonely.
…
The Master reminded them with utmost benevolence and duty, and his words were even meant for Ji Changsheng.
Since Ji Changsheng insisted on doing this, the Master had to assume that Ji Changsheng had some special confidence.
It couldn't be that he really has gone insane from Li Changxi's influence.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate any longer and resolutely activated the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, while also initiating the Soul Drawing Array.
Under the double buff, all Merit Energy was laid bare.
After doing all this, the Master of Mystic Temple quietly waited for Ji Changsheng to perform.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Changsheng.
Then...
They were blinded by the light!
Literally.
Endless Merit Golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the entire night sky.
Then, Ji Changsheng was exuding a pleasant fragrance.
A golden blooming lotus, shimmered above Ji Changsheng's head.
At the same time, the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda stirred.
Mysterious Yellow Energy emerged from it, rushing towards Ji Changsheng, and created a bridge of Mysterious Yellow Energy between the tower and Ji Changsheng.
The whole process lasted for three solid minutes.
Golden lotuses sprung from the earth as if it were raining flowers.
Ji Changsheng was shrouded in all of these, appearing dreamlike, making everyone's eyes widen in shock.
Including the Master of Mystic Temple, everyone was dumbfounded.
"This...."
"Damn, I've never seen this much merit in my entire life."
"Am I blind? Is that a whole Merit Gold Lotus?"
"A petal of a Merit Lotus means the rescue of at least a hundred thousand beings. A whole Merit Lotus... Did Ji Changsheng save the world?"
"I'm beginning to doubt if Ji Changsheng truly is the reincarnation of South Pole's Emperor Changsheng."
"The Mysterious Yellow Energy backflow is extreme, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda itself confirms it, it cannot be faked. What on earth has Ji Changsheng done?"
"I don't know what Ji Changsheng has done, but I know for sure that Ji Changsheng has never silenced anyone by killing them."
...
The voices of discussion were incessant, completely out of control.
Even the Master of Mystic Temple couldn't control it.
He was completely startled.
It's not an exaggeration to say that when he saw Ji Changsheng's phenomenon, his first reaction was, could Ji Changsheng truly be the reincarnation of South Pole's Emperor Changsheng?
It was ridiculous.
Very ridiculous.
Ridiculously ridiculous.
He originally thought Ji Changsheng was a talent.
Now it seems, his assessment was too petty.
Could this fellow be human?
Even the Master of Mystic Temple was stunned, you can imagine the shock Ji Changsheng left on others.
Soon, an even more shocking event happened.
Under the cover of countless Mysterious Yellow Energy and Merit Gold Lotuses, Ji Changsheng's aura began to rapidly strengthen.
He was evidently utilizing the Mysterious Yellow Energy for body cultivation and the Merit Energy for cultivation base improvement.
Within less than a minute, Ji Changsheng's aura had risen to a certain threshold.
Then, the Merit Gold Lotus above Ji Changsheng's head dimmed slightly.
The next moment, Ji Changsheng's black hair rose without wind, his aura just didn't only strengthen rapidly again, but instantly jumped to a new level.
A golden Core Formation appeared from Ji Changsheng's several orifices – ears, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
These illuminated Ji Changsheng's face like a divine god, majestically dignified, profoundly mysterious.
The Golden Core gradually descended.
Finally, it moved into Ji Changsheng's lower abdomen. With this, all anomalies also disappeared.
When the Golden Core is waist deep, only then do we understand that our fate is not decided by heaven.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ji Changsheng officially stepped into the Core Formation stage.
The speed of breakthrough, unmatched in all history.
Even Li Changxi was not as fast as him.
Until this point, Ji Changsheng finally spoke, smiling at Bai Guanlin, "Congratulations, my true form has been revealed!"
