The Fiercer the Storm, the More Excited I Get!

At this sect conference, not only the chief elder of the Haotian Palace, but also ordinary elders and even stewards participated.

Chu Xinghe discovered that his seat was not in the audience, but next to the Grand Elder.

After everyone was seated, Sect Gu Mingchao personally presided over the meeting.

The meeting's purpose was very simple: to discuss the upcoming Millennial Grand Sacrifice.

The Millennial Grand Sacrifice can be considered the most important event on the Blazing Sun Continent today.

A thousand years ago, the various factions of the Blazing Sun Continent joined forces to eliminate the Evil Spirit Clan, which brought us the peaceful life we enjoy today.

Speaking of this Battle Against Evil Spirits a thousand years ago, it wasn't just a matter for the righteous sects; the Demonic Sects also participated in the great battle.

This is also the first time in history that the forces of good and evil have joined forces.

The ferocity of the battle goes without saying; both the righteous and the Demonic Sect suffered heavy losses, with countless powerful figures perishing in this war to exterminate evil.

The grand sacrifice arose to commemorate the sages who died in this great battle to exterminate evil spirits.

Every hundred years, people from all walks of life, regardless of good or evil, participate in a grand ceremony to commemorate the heroic souls of the past and to recount their achievements.

Moreover, during the grand ceremony, both righteous and evil forces must temporarily set aside their grudges, and no force is allowed to take action during the ceremony.

For thousands of years, both the Demonic Sect and righteous sects have silently abided by this rule.

Therefore, this Millennial Grand Sacrifice will not only bring together the righteous sects of the world to the Vast Heaven Sect, but also the Demonic Sect Vast Heaven Sects. This is the only super Millennial Grand Sacrifice on the Blazing Sun Continent that can allow both the righteous and the evil to completely cease hostilities and hold together.

After listening to Sect Gu Mingchao's introduction to the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, Chu Xinghe was so excited that his pants were almost wet.

Listen to this!

Both good and evil factions participated; this was a super sacrificial event involving the entire Blazing Sun Continent.

If my Vast Heaven Sect were to host such an event, how many resources would we have to invest?

Most importantly, I can't expect anyone to give me a gift for an event like the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, can I?

In other words, my Vast Heaven Sect has only spent money and not received anything for this Millennial Grand Sacrifice. How much have we lost this time?

Moreover, this is the largest sacrificial ceremony in the world, and it happens to be a millennium anniversary. Isn't it perfectly reasonable to make this ceremony as grand and solemn as possible?

Chu Xinghe did the math: if things got heated and a fight broke out, he figured half of his Vast Heaven Sect would probably be wiped out.

Thanks to the sages of a thousand years ago! Just for the fact that you created a thousand years of peace for the entire Blazing Sun Continent, I, Chu Xinghe, am going all out to hold an unprecedented and unparalleled grand ceremony for you!

The meeting entered the discussion stage. For such an important matter, the Vast Heaven Sect naturally had to contribute its entire strength. In fact, not only the Vast Heaven Sect, but also any matter related to the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, regardless of whether it was good or evil, had to fully cooperate.

At this moment, the sect leader's meaning was very clear: a chief leader must be chosen.

After all, such an important event can't be left in disarray, can it?

There needs to be someone who can oversee the whole situation; only in this way can this Millennial Grand Sacrifice be carried out to its fullest potential.

This Millennial Grand Sacrifice is not only a ritual, but also a matter of honor for the Vast Heaven Sect.

The last sect to hold the Nine-Hundred-Year Grand Sacrifice was the Cloud Firmament Sect. Although the Cloud Firmament Sect spent a huge amount of money, it also demonstrated Cloud Firmament Sect capabilities and propelled them to the position of the Cloud Firmament Sect third largest sect in the world after the ceremony.

In contrast, the Star Moon Sect during the 800th Anniversary Ceremony was stingy and almost ruined the ceremony. Even today, whether righteous or evil, people say the Star Moon Sect was truly a disgrace when they talk about the 800th Anniversary Ceremony.

Therefore, Gu Mingchao's requirements were very simple.

My Vast Heaven Sect is the number one sect in the world. We not only want to make the grand ceremony the best it can be, but we also want to show the whole world the strength of my Vast Heaven Sect!

After Gu Mingchao finished speaking, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent for a full minute, with even the Grand Elder remaining completely silent.

There's no way around it; this Millennial Grand Sacrifice involves too many things and requires too much consideration. It's a major event for the entire world, so any oversight could lead to a huge problem.

If things go wrong, what will become of the Vast Heaven Sect's reputation?

Therefore, no one dared to respond to Gu Mingchao's words.

"Sect Master, Xinghe is willing to give it a try!"

Just as everyone fell silent, Chu Xinghe stood up.

Chu Xinghe was so excited he was about to cry.

Listen to this... It's not that I, Chu Xinghe, am going to ruin the sect's resources this time. The sect leader said we should take it to the extreme.

If this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is successfully completed, my Vast Heaven Sect will have to pour countless resources into it, resulting in a huge loss.

If this Millennial Grand Sacrifice goes wrong, my Vast Heaven Sect will not only suffer a huge loss of resources, but will also become a laughing stock, ridiculed for being the number one sect in the world?

Whether we do it well or badly, this is a huge loss...

This is a question where you're guaranteed to win no matter which option you choose!

Others may be afraid of this and that, but what do I, Chu Xinghe, have to be afraid of?

I, Chu Xinghe, am putting this out there: even if I were blessed with both luck and misfortune, it would still be a complete waste.

I, Chu Xinghe, am now in an invincible position.

All eyes turned to Chu Xinghe, who had suddenly stepped Xinghe.

"Xinghe, don't talk nonsense. The Millennial Grand Sacrifice is of great importance. Just sit and listen."

The First Elder spoke first, but everyone understood that he was protecting Xinghe.

Just as the Grand Elder said, the Millennial Grand Sacrifice is different from Feng Fei's wedding. No matter how grand Feng Fei's wedding is, or what kind of trouble happens in the end, it is still a happy occasion, and everyone will just laugh it off.

But the Millennial Grand Sacrifice involves everyone in the world, and haven't all parties faced immense pressure during each centennial ceremony over the years?

The Cloud Firmament Sect invested heavily in its grand ceremony, which was almost perfect, but in the end, people found all sorts of flaws and attacked it.

If Xinghe were to organize this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, no matter how well Xinghe do it, it would inevitably give others grounds for criticism.

Therefore, this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is not a job that brings glory; it's a job that makes you take the blame.

Even if the Vast Heaven Sect spares no effort, it is impossible to gain everyone's approval. In the end, no one will praise you for doing a good job; instead, they will magnify your shortcomings infinitely.

"Elder He, you are the most learned, why don't we entrust this Millennial Grand Sacrifice to you?" Gu Mingchao ignored Chu Xinghe's offer of service and instead handed this hot potato to Elder He.

Upon hearing this, Elder He could only stand up with a wry smile on his face.

Before Elder He could speak, Chu Xinghe said, "Sect Master, although Elder He is learned, he has no experience in this area. Let me handle it!"

"Xinghe... Everyone knows you want to contribute to the sect, but you are still young. This matter is not as simple as you think. Please sit down." Sect Gu Mingchao sighed helplessly.

"Yes, Xinghe, people aren't as kind as you think. No matter how well this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is done, it will still give people something to talk about. You're still young; we can't let you do it!"

Elder He also spoke up to persuade Xinghe.

After hearing Elder He's words, Chu Xinghe was so anxious he almost cried.

Um... everyone, please don't do this. I'm not afraid of losing face, I'm not afraid of being gossiped about, I dream of being attacked!

Do you believe I'd rather die here than miss such a great opportunity?

"Sect Master, Elders, Xinghe knows you are worried that rumors from the outside world will attack your disciples during this Millennial Grand Sacrifice. But both kindness and favor are a blessing from Xinghe. The Grand Elder always says that Xinghe's journey has been too smooth, but Xinghe knows that it's not because I am so capable, but because I am a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, and behind me stand the elders of the Vast Heaven Sect, who have protected me!"

"But Sect Master, have the elders considered this? Xinghe cannot remain under your protection forever. One day, Xinghe will have to face the storms alone. Today, Xinghe is here to plan this Millennial Grand Sacrifice. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will be a tremendous experience for Xinghe. Even if Xinghe has made a mistake, there are many elders who can advise me and help me."

"Xinghe dares to presume to say this: if Xinghe am fortunate enough to one day lead a sect, how can someone Xinghe, who has never experienced hardship, enable my Vast Heaven Sect to stand proudly in this world?"

"With elders behind Xinghe cannot be defeated by wind and rain; they will only make me Xinghe!"

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent.

At this moment, everyone, from the sect Gu Mingchao to the elders and even the stewards, was shaken to their core.

Everyone loves Xinghe, so they don't want him to Xinghe out in this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, because no matter how well Xinghe does, he will inevitably be attacked in various ways.

What Xinghe said makes perfect sense.

His words weren't presumptuous. He was destined to lead the Vast Heaven Sect in the Future. If he didn't even have the courage to face the storms, how could Xinghe lead the Vast Heaven Sect to a higher position?

Just as Xinghe said, even if he made a mistake today, my Vast Heaven Sect still has so many old guys here. We can support him and protect him. Who dares to speak ill of my Xinghe? We old guys can still pick up our swords.

But if we simply let Xinghe have everything go smoothly, what will happen in the future?

The Grand Elder looked at the many elders of the Vast Heaven Sect, each of them having fought their way through countless battles.

Who hasn't been called Chenghai (a derogatory term for someone who criticizes others excessively)?

It is precisely because everyone has weathered the storms that we have achieved what we have today.

So Xinghe is right, we old folks get confused when we care too much.

We always say we'll let our disciples gain experience, but when it really comes to facing the storms and trials, we feel sorry for Xinghe and don't want him to take the risk.

But Xinghe is such a good kid... He didn't choose to run away, he chose to face the challenge head-on, and even knowing that there was an abyss ahead, he still had the courage to fill it!

For other disciples, the Millennial Grand Sacrifice might have resulted in them being criticized to the point of becoming withdrawn, but Xinghe was different.

If Xinghe can survive this ordeal, it will be a rebirth for him.

"Xinghe is right. In any case, he has us old guys behind him, so I support Xinghe!" The First Elder was the first to express his opinion.

"Xinghe is right. We old folks should give the kids a chance to weather the storms. But they'd better not make up any nonsense about those storms, or I, Old He, won't be able to lift a knife!"

I support Xinghe!

"Xinghe... do it with confidence. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, I, Old Yu, will cripple them!"

Soon, the vote on the spot passed, and Sect Gu Mingchao, along with countless elders, were filled with emotion as they looked at the Xinghe before them.

Truly, Heaven blesses Vast Heaven!

Faced with such a situation, which other young person would dare to stand up? Wouldn't they all be protecting their own reputation?

But our Xinghe just loves to face challenges head-on. Difficulties and setbacks are never something we Xinghe are afraid of. We Xinghe will only trample difficulties and setbacks under our feet!

Chu Xinghe bowed and thanked the sect leader and the elders.

Please rest assured, no matter what storms I face, I, Chu Xinghe, can withstand them. In fact, the fiercer the storms, the more excited I become!

As for the sect's consumption, please rest assured. The more intense the consumption today, the faster I, Chu Xinghe, will grow. Today, all of you powerful figures have sheltered me from the wind and rain. In the future, I, Chu Xinghe, will surely lead the new Vast Heaven Sect straight to the heavens!
