The Martial God's First Battle Ended in Defeat...
Countless powerful figures left the Vast Heaven Sect.
Although the Millennial Grand Sacrifice has ended, its impact has not disappeared.
First, the powerful figures from all the major sects in the world announced their seclusion. After all, everyone had received the Holy Soul Inheritance during this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, and there were many things they needed to comprehend as soon as possible, because this could lead to new breakthroughs.
In previous years, after each grand festival, the righteous path and the Demonic Sect would have a duel. However, this year's Millennial Grand Sacrifice saw all sides going into seclusion, including the Demonic Sect.
So forget about any challenge, the world is perfectly peaceful.
If the duel is an unwritten agreement among the parties, then pointing out the mistakes of the High Priest is something everyone in the world should do.
In the past ten major festivals, except for the first one, almost every subsequent festival, regardless of who organized it or how well it was done, would eventually be criticized for various mistakes.
The Cloud Firmament Sect's Nine-Hundred-Year Grand Sacrifice a hundred years ago was already the best it could be, but how long did Ling Su get criticized back then? He almost became depressed from all the criticism.
Whether it's good or bad, there will always be people criticizing it.
But this time, the Millennial Grand Sacrifice... the whole world, regardless of good or evil, is praising it.
There's nothing I can do... How are you going to criticize this Millennial Grand Sacrifice?
Is Chu Xinghe acting recklessly?
Is it true that Chu Xinghe used red to turn the Millennial Grand Sacrifice into Millennial Joyous Sacrifice?
Are you crazy?!
Even the sacred soul from a thousand years ago was summoned by Chu Xinghe... This shows that Chu Xinghe's Millennial Grand Sacrifice has directly gained the approval of the sages from a thousand years ago.
Even the ancient sages acknowledged it, so what reason do you have to criticize Chu Xinghe?
Didn't you see that even the Cloud Firmament Sect has fallen silent?
Furthermore, even disregarding the Sacred Soul, Chu Xinghe's act of using the Millennial Grand Sacrifice to revive the Spiritual Qi of the Blazing Sun Continent is an immense act of merit.
Everyone in the world has benefited from the Spiritual Qi revival.
Those who might have previously lacked talent and never had the qualifications to cultivate may now, thanks to the revival of Spiritual Qi energy, have the opportunity to cultivate...
In the past, ordinary people might live to be a hundred or eighty years old before passing away peacefully. However, after this Spiritual Qi revival, with the powerful Spiritual Qi supporting them, even if you are an ordinary person, you can live for another ten or eight years.
Therefore, from any perspective, the Millennial Grand Sacrifice is not simply a success... it is a momentous event that will be recorded in the entire history of the Blazing Sun Continent.
And the name Chu Xinghe will naturally be recorded as well.
Mentioning Chu Xinghe evokes sighs of admiration from all corners of the world.
Previously, most people had only heard of Chu Xinghe.
Chu Xinghe's talent is unparalleled... Chu Xinghe is the number one among the younger generation... Chu Xinghe is benevolent and righteous...
On the one hand, bad things can be spread by anyone.
For example, not everyone knows what Chu Xinghe before, and by chance, what benefits the Vast Heaven Sect received from his later actions.
Many people who didn't know the reason even thought that Chu Xinghe was just fooling around.
Some have even speculated that Chu Xinghe might be Gu Mingchao's illegitimate son.
Otherwise, why would the Vast Heaven Sect not have made any response to Chu Xinghe's reckless behavior?
But after this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, all doubts disappeared.
Chu Xinghe single-handedly ushered in a new era for the entire world, and some people even suggested that the new era should be named the Xinghe Era!
Moreover, Chu Xinghe not only ushered in a new era on his own, but his act of passing on the Martial God's inheritance to Gu Mingchao in front of everyone also shocked the world.
The Vast Heaven Sect did not receive much inheritance this time, and many people thought that the Vast Heaven Sect would decline after the Millennial Grand Sacrifice.
After all, all sides have strengthened their forces, but the Vast Heaven Sect has not. You can tell how miserable the Vast Heaven Sect is.
But no one expected that after the Holy Souls finished their inheritance, they had a big surprise up their sleeve. The scene of them forcibly Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones Chu Xinghe was too shocking.
Then the Holy Soul enhanced Chu Xinghe's cultivation, but faced with such an opportunity, Chu Xinghe willingly gave it to Gu Mingchao.
Some people say Chu Xinghe is too foolish... such an opportunity is too rare.
You, Chu Xinghe, Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones. Even if your previous cultivation level was low and the inherited power couldn't directly make you Martial God, you're definitely destined to become Martial Emperor, right?
Even reaching the Half-Step Martial God is not impossible. And with the power of Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones, if you reach that level and work even harder, isn't it possible that you, Chu Xinghe, could become the first Martial God?
So, wasn't Chu Xinghe's approach a bit too foolish?
However, some people disagreed, believing that Chu Xinghe did the right thing... If Chu Xinghe had absorbed all that cultivation himself, he could have reached the Martial Emperor, but when would he have become Martial God?
However, there would be no problem if the power was given to Gu Mingchao. Gu Mingchao would receive the inheritance and become the number one Martial God in the world. In this way, the Vast Heaven Sect, which originally did not receive any holy soul inheritance, would become the biggest winner in the world!
In the Vast Heaven Sect 'Haotian Grand Hall, all elders and above of the sect were gathered.
Sect Gu Mingchao sat at the head of the table, with countless elders lined up on both sides, while Chu Xinghe stood in the center with a calm expression.
All eyes were on Xinghe. At this moment, whether it was the sect leader or any of the elders, everyone looked at Xinghe with loving eyes.
Regardless of how well this Millennial Grand Sacrifice went, Xinghe handed over the Power of Inheritance to the sect leader at the last moment, helping the sect leader break through to the Martial God Martial Emperor level and enter the ranks of Martial God, becoming the first Martial God born in a thousand years. This also made the Vast Heaven Sect's position as the number one sect in the world as solid as a mountain. For this alone, who wouldn't sigh that Xinghe is truly a good kid?
The Grand Elder's face broke into a wide smile once again.
Look at this... This is Xinghe... Faced with such a great opportunity, could an ordinary young person do what Xinghe did?
Chu Xinghe didn't know how the Grand Elder was feeling. All Chu Xinghe knew was that that matter really had nothing to do with him... It was all the work of the Misfortune Compass...
It wasn't that Chu Xinghe didn't want to tell the truth, but the Misfortune Compass wouldn't allow it.
If I speak recklessly, the Misfortune Compass might suddenly reverse its course, and who can guarantee that a meteorite won't fall from the sky and flatten the entire Haotian Mountain Range the next second?
So all I can do is stay silent.
Gu Mingchao gazed intently at the Xinghe below, and finally, Sect Gu Mingchao slowly spoke, "I need not elaborate on Xinghe's contributions this time; I believe everyone is aware of them. Today, I hereby issue my decree: Xinghe is promoted to the chief disciple of my Vast Heaven Sect, and enters Vast Heaven..."
Before Sect Gu Mingchao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Sect Master, you mustn't!" The First Elder jumped out anxiously.
Not only the Grand Elder, but the other elders also spoke up one after another.
"Sect Master, the matter of the chief disciple is of utmost importance; we should consider this carefully..."
"Not bad, not bad... Xinghe didn't do anything this time... I'll let the chief disciple off the hook..."
"Exactly! Xinghe is just a high-level elite disciple. Directly promoting him to chief disciple might cause objections among the other disciples... I think we should just give him a core disciple reward first!"
"Elder He is right. We already have enough core disciples. If that's not enough, adding another 10,000 spirit stones as a reward should be about right!"
The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the other elders' assessment.
Gu Mingchao looked at the elders below with a speechless expression. "Are you even speaking human language?"
Don't you guys have any idea what Xinghe has done?
You're saying Xinghe didn't do anything this time? Xinghe already elevated me to the position of Martial God, and you call this nothing?
And Elder He, you have the nerve to say that Xinghe's top elite disciple was directly promoted to chief disciple? Aren't you afraid the other disciples will have objections?
I think it's Elder He has a problem with this. Which of the other disciples has a problem? Let him come over here. I, Martial God Gu Mingchao, will personally confront him today!
And Elder Yu, at your age, have you no shame at all? Core disciple? A reward of ten thousand spirit stones? What are you plotting? Do you think I, the Martial God Gu Mingchao, don't know what's going on?
You all just don't want Xinghe to join Haotian Palace. Because if Xinghe doesn't Haotian Palace, you old fogies all think you have a chance to make Xinghe your disciple... But have you ever considered whether the Grand Elder would agree?
You guys threw those abacus beads at my face!
However, Gu Mingchao has no intention of giving up so easily today. I am Gu Mingchao, the Martial God! The Martial God!
Gu Mingchao without warning that he was the greatest Martial God in a thousand years, and dared to disobey his first order from these old fogies?
However, while Gu Mingchao's Martial God might be useful outside, he was truly insignificant in front of the elders of the Vast Heaven Sect.
The Grand Elder immediately stated that while it was true the Sect Master was the First Martial God, he was also the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect. If the Sect Master insisted on his own way and used his position to pressure them, then they would have no choice but to exercise the sect's right to dismiss the Sect Master!
The other elders echoed this sentiment, agreeing that the First Elder was absolutely right.
The Vast Heaven Sect has a rule that allows for the removal of the sect leader. If the sect leader goes too far, and more than 70% of the elders, along with the Grand Elder, impeach the sect leader, the sect leader can be directly removed from office.
Gu Mingchao was so angry that he activated his Martial God's Aura... but in the entire Haotian Grand Hall, the many elders did not yield an inch in the face of the Martial God's Aura!
If you, Sect Master, were to say today that we should wage a full-scale war against the Demonic Sect, we would be the first to raise our hands in support. But if you were to say that Xinghe should become the chief disciple, and become your disciple Gu Mingchao, you're dreaming!
Sect Gu Mingchao's first battle as Martial God ended in defeat...
In the end, Chu Xinghe was promoted to a core disciple and rewarded with 10,000 spirit stones for his excellent performance in the Millennial Grand Sacrifice...
After the news spread, the disciples of each palace were completely dumbfounded.
What? Another 10,000 spirit stones rewarded Senior Brother Xinghe? He hasn't even received the 10,000 Senior Brother Xinghe stones from last time yet...
As for Senior Brother Xinghe's status as a core disciple? Nobody cares about that at all... Can Senior Brother Xinghe's position in the Vast Heaven Sect be determined by his disciple status?
Don't you see what Ma Liang, an outer disciple, does every day?
I heard that a few days ago Ma Liang, an outer disciple, scolded a direct disciple who had done something wrong until he cried. Ma Liang, the outer disciple, punished that direct disciple on the spot by making him face the wall and reflect on his mistakes for a month.
Faced with the punishment from outer disciple Ma Liang, this direct disciple didn't even dare to object, only saying that Senior Brother Senior Brother Ma Liang was right to reprimand him, and that he would go and reflect on his mistakes in seclusion...
So even an outer disciple is this outrageous... does it even matter what kind of disciple my Senior Brother Xinghe is?
