Holy Crap! That Works Too?
The Haotian Palace Conference was a complete success, and everyone, including the sect leader, unanimously agreed to select Chu Xinghe as the chief planner for this Millennial Grand Sacrifice.
This time, even the deputy sect leader didn't cause any trouble.
After all, this is Millennial Grand Sacrifice.
I, Yan Shoujing, was just unlucky. I'm not crazy. If I dared to do anything reckless at this moment, Wu Xingyun would kill me without anyone else even having to lift a finger.
After all, during the Grand Ceremony, both the righteous and the evil forces cease hostilities across the board, and even the most important matters must wait until the Grand Ceremony ends.
It's not like no one has ever acted recklessly before.
As soon as the grand ceremony ended, they were hunted down by both the righteous and the evil forces... and their deaths were truly gruesome.
Therefore, Yan Shoujing knew that no matter how much he longed for the destruction of his sect, during the grand ceremony, he could only peacefully remain the deputy sect master of the Vast Heaven Sect.
I wonder if Wu Xingyun will bring Xiao Cui'er with him when he comes to the Vast Heaven Sect for the grand ceremony...
I've been missing Xiaocui for almost two hundred days...
The news that Vast Heaven Sect had chosen Chu Xinghe as the planner for this Millennial Grand Sacrifice quickly spread from within the Vast Heaven Sect.
However, this news also moved people all over the world.
First, the smaller sects were stunned when they heard that the Vast Heaven Sect had actually appointed a disciple as the chief planner.
"Has the Vast Heaven Sect gone mad? They actually appointed Chu Xinghe as the planner?"
"Yeah... How old is Chu Xinghe? If we let him plan this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, wouldn't he just throw everything into chaos?"
"You don't know... Chu Xinghe is probably just a figurehead... There are other elders behind him, and the Vast Heaven Sect wants to make Chu Xinghe famous..."
"This is Millennial Grand Sacrifice. Even if the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect isn't in charge of the overall planning, shouldn't it at least be a high-ranking elder who's involved?"
"Isn't the Vast Heaven Sect showing a bit little respect for the Millennial Grand Sacrifice?"
There's nothing we can do... These small sects and factions are ignorant and inexperienced. They've only heard of Chu Xinghe's reputation, and have never even seen him in person.
Many minor sects even suspected that the Vast Heaven Sect was deliberately promoting Chu Xinghe, and that other elders were actually behind the scenes, with Chu Xinghe merely using the title!
The major sects of the world were speechless at the ideas of these minor factions.
Or they might say that minor sects and factions lack both ability and knowledge.
And you want Chu Xinghe to become famous?
What the hell is wrong with your brains? Is this something to gain fame through?
A hundred years ago, the Cloud Firmament Sect planned a Nine-Hundred-Year Grand Sacrifice, which was incredibly ambitious at the time, but what was the result?
Ling Su, the Grand Elder of the Cloud Firmament Sect who was the chief planner at the time, was later ridiculed and even called a "sea dog." Even that shameless old man, Ling Su, was so badly criticized that he almost became depressed.
How many people are there in this world?
No matter how well you manage to make the grand ceremony, there will always be people who jump out and say that this is no good and that is no good. Moreover, from their perspective, their criticisms are not wrong, and you can't really refute them.
Therefore, when Vast Heaven Sect chose Chu Xinghe as the chief planner, anyone from any major sect in the world who knew even a little about the Grand Ceremony knew that this was absolutely not a way for Chu Xinghe to gain fame while other elders devised strategies behind the scenes.
If Vast Heaven Sect says that Chu Xinghe is the chief planner, then it must be Chu Xinghe who plans everything.
What? A minor sect says that Chu Xinghe, a mere disciple, has no right to question this?
They know nothing!
They've never even seen Chu Xinghe's face, how could they possibly understand his abilities?
Any major sect that knew what Chu Xinghe had done would have no objection to the Vast Heaven Sect's Chu Xinghe as the chief planner of the Millennial Grand Sacrifice.
At least in terms of ability, no one would think that Chu Xinghe unqualified just because he is a disciple of the younger generation.
What has Chu Xinghe been doing these past two years?
Every time he takes action, it causes turmoil throughout the land.
Every single time he took action, it changed the course of the world.
A being who can use the world as a chessboard and roam freely—if he doesn't have that right, who does?
However, setting aside qualifications and abilities, even the Grand Master felt that the Vast Heaven Sect had gone mad.
Um... are all the members of your Vast Heaven Sect this capricious?
Aren't you afraid that after the Millennial Grand Sacrifice ends, Chu Xinghe will be attacked by the outside world Chenghai... attacked to the point of depression... attacked to the point of direct destruction?
There are plenty of stories in this world where exceptional young geniuses are ultimately criticized and fall from grace.
After all, public opinion can really destroy a person.
Therefore, the fact that the Vast Heaven Sect appointed Chu Xinghe as the chief planner could very well ruin Chu Xinghe's career.
Let alone outsiders, even the King of Ideas Zheng Yu couldn't understand why Senior Brother Xinghe would take on the role of chief planner this time.
If it were their Martial Emperor City that hosted the event, Zheng Yu would never stand out, because what seemed like a chance to make him famous would also be met with Chenghai.
My master and the elders would absolutely never agree to let me be the chief planner.
So what exactly is Senior Brother Xinghe up to?
Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Zheng Yu, can't see through you at all...
Aside from Zheng Yu, the other ten major powers in the world were also full of questions about why the Vast Heaven Sect had appointed Chu Xinghe as the chief planner.
Vast Heaven Sect you really not afraid that Chu Xinghe will be criticized to the point of death? You guys are really not appreciating Chu Xinghe at all.
We all dream of having Chu Xinghe, and you're just using him to cause trouble, aren't you?
Even I, an outsider, feel sorry for Xinghe...
Chu Xinghe unaware of the distress felt by those outside the Vast Heaven Sect. At that moment, he was discussing various matters concerning the Grand Sacrifice with his Senior Brother Feng Fei.
Just now, Senior Brother Feng Fei gave a detailed account of the previous ten grand sacrifices.
"Wait, Senior Brother Feng Fei, wasn't it nine times? How come it's ten times?" Ma Liang, who had somehow sneaked in, looked completely bewildered when he heard Senior Brother Feng mention the previous ten times.
In response to Ma Liang's doubts, Senior Brother Feng Fei gave him a look as if he were an idiot, and said, "Ma Liang, don't just focus on cultivation, learn some arithmetic too."
So, the first grand ceremony was held after the great war ended, and then once every hundred years thereafter. Wasn't the first hundred years the second one?
There have been nine such events in nine hundred years, plus the first one held after the Great War, making a total of ten, right?
Ma Liang suddenly realized... Is it really that amazing?
Senior Brother Feng Fei found all the records about the ten grand sacrifices, and then personally recounted the various events that occurred during the ten grand sacrifices.
The first grand ceremony after the great war was the simplest. After all, although the Human Race won in the end, it was a Pyrrhic victory. The war against the evil spirits left the entire Blazing Sun Continent riddled with holes, and even the density of Spiritual Qi on the Blazing Sun Continent was reduced by half.
Countless powerful figures perished, so the first grand sacrifice had to be kept simple.
The subsequent centennial celebration was held in Martial Emperor City, and at that time, the Vast Heaven Sect was still far from being considered powerful.
The grand festival continued to be held year after year, and each festival became more and more magnificent over time.
Until a hundred years ago, during the Nine-Hundred-Year Grand Sacrifice held by the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Cloud Firmament Sect created the largest event in its history, which propelled Cloud Firmament Sect fame to new heights, eventually making it the third-largest Cloud Firmament Sect in the world today.
Of course, besides the success of the Cloud Firmament Sect, there were also some stingy and ineffective events that amounted to nothing.
However, Chu Xinghe didn't need to care about any of this. He was focused on the big picture, so why should he listen to those stingy people?
Then Chu Xinghe asked his Senior Brother Feng Fei to explain in detail what the Cloud Firmament Sect had done during its grand ceremony a hundred years ago.
But you won't believe it until you hear it; it's so True Qi!
What the hell? The Cloud Firmament Sect invited a million people to gather at the Cloud Firmament Sect back then and held an unprecedented grand ceremony?
Senior Brother Feng, you call a gathering of a million people a grand event?
Senior Brother Feng, aren't you being a bit too conservative?
Isn't this grand ceremony a matter for the entire Blazing Sun Continent?
So, can these million people represent the entire Blazing Sun Continent?
Are you kidding me?
If our Vast Heaven Sect had enough room, I'd even like to invite everyone in the world...
Therefore, there's no need to listen to what the Cloud Firmament Sect is going to do, because if Cloud Firmament Sect were to do it that way, it would only cost a few dollars.
Anyone who didn't know better would think our Vast Heaven Sect was as poor as the Cloud Firmament Sect.
Therefore, Chu Xinghe immediately discarded all records related to the previous grand ceremony, because these records were utterly useless to him.
These ten grand sacrifices, even the largest one organized by the Cloud Firmament Sect, only cost a few dollars.
Is that the style of my Vast Heaven Sect?
Our Vast Heaven Sect either doesn't do anything, or if we do, we do something unprecedented and unparalleled.
Moreover, if this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is planned according to the methods recorded, then no matter how it's done, it's still just a ritual.
Even if you go to great lengths for a ritual, how much money could it possibly cost?
Therefore, Chu Xinghe knew that he needed to overturn all the previous grand sacrifices and create something unprecedented.
Soon, Chu Xinghe put forward his first idea.
Since this Millennial Grand Sacrifice concerns the entire Blazing Sun Continent, even if we invite tens of millions of people, let alone a million, what about the rest?
Am we being disrespectful to the rest of the people?
Therefore, my idea, Chu Xinghe, is that since this matter involves the entire Blazing Sun Continent, it is necessary to have everyone on the entire Blazing Sun Continent participate!
Before Feng Fei could even speak, Ma Liang, who was listening from the side, was completely dumbfounded.
Because Ma Liang's mathematical abilities were completely insufficient to calculate the total number of people in the world, and how could so many people possibly enter the Vast Heaven Sect at the same time? Even if the Vast Heaven Sect were expanded tenfold, it would still be impossible for everyone in the world to participate, right?
Feng Fei was also full of questions.
Junior Brother Xinghe, do you want to hear what you're saying...?
Getting the entire world to participate in this grand, Millennial Grand Sacrifice is simply impossible, isn't it?
How could my Vast Heaven Sect possibly accommodate so many people?
Just as Feng Fei and Ma Liang were speechless, Chu Xinghe spoke up and revealed his idea, which left both Ma Liang and Feng Fei completely dumbfounded...
At that moment, both of them had only one thought in their minds... Holy crap! This actually works?!
