The Sect Master Is the Vast Heaven Sect's Present, Xinghe Is Its Future!

Cheng Xiaotian has arrived... bringing with him the congratulations from Martial Emperor City, the number one sect in the world!

Cheng Xiaotian stood outside the Vast Heaven Sect's mountain gate, and his congratulatory voice almost shook the entire Haotian Mountain Range...

Even if you were standing in Haotian City, you could hear Cheng Xiaotian's voice clearly.

We don't know if Cheng Xiaotian came to congratulate the Vast Heaven Sect or to tell the whole world that their Martial Emperor City is now the number one sect in the world...

Moreover, looking around, Cheng Xiaotian seems even happier than the people from the Vast Heaven Sect...

The Vast Heaven Sect's ascension to a holy land demonstrates to the world that the Way of Heavenly Dao is not inviolable, and that human power can overcome Heavenly Dao and break through its barriers.

The fact that Martial Emperor City has been promoted to the number one sect in the world shows the world that becoming the number one sect doesn't necessarily require hard work. Sometimes, if you work hard enough, you can become the number one sect even if you don't work that hard.

Thanks to the efforts of the Vast Heaven Sect, Martial Emperor City has successfully become the number one sect in the world!

Gu Mingchao personally walked out of the sect to greet Cheng Xiaotian. The two had been close friends since they were young. Although they had fought each other quite a bit in the past because of the struggle between the number one sect and the number two sect, their friendship remained unbreakable.

Under Gu Mingchao's personal welcome, Cheng Xiaotian, the sect leader of the number one sect in the world, stepped into the Vast Heaven Sect with a pigeon-toed gait. However, when he passed the Vast Heaven Sect's main gate, Cheng Xiaotian spoke.

"Brother Mingchao... the plaque that reads 'Number One Sect Under Heaven' is still hanging in the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Even I, Cheng Xiaotian, the sect leader of Number One Sect Under Heaven, feel that it's somewhat inappropriate..." Cheng Xiaotian, pointing to the plaque that read "Number One Sect Under Heaven" hanging above the Vast Heaven Sect's mountain gate!

Hearing Cheng Xiaotian's words, Gu Mingchao also smiled...

"Brother Xiaotian is right. We didn't consider that carefully. I then had the plaque that read 'Number One Sect Under Heaven' removed."

But Gu Mingchao could finish speaking, Cheng Xiaotian interjected, "No need for that... Zheng Yu!"

"Disciple is here!" Zheng Yu stepped out from behind Cheng Xiaotian.

"Quickly bring up the gifts I've prepared for the Holy Land Vast Heaven Sect!"

"Yes!"

Following Zheng Yu's command, a group of disciples from Martial Emperor City soon carried an enormous plaque toward the Vast Heaven Sect's mountain gate.

This plaque was crafted from a single, incredibly precious piece of Purple Cloud Immortal Wood!

Good heavens! Such a huge Purple Cloud Immortal Wood! You wouldn't find one this big even in the Vast Heaven Sect's treasury, let alone outside.

Leaving aside the value of such a massive Purple Cloud Immortal Wood, the sheer difficulty in finding it is enough to demonstrate the considerable thought and effort Cheng Xiaotian put into this gift.

Most importantly, there is currently no inscription on this plaque.

When Cheng Xiaotian first found this piece of Purple Cloud Immortal Wood, he had already thought of using it to create a brand new plaque for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

After the plaque was completed, Cheng Xiaotian fell into deep thought about who would inscribe it.

Inscribing a name for the Vast Heaven Holy Land himself? Although he had an excellent relationship with Gu Mingchao, Cheng Xiaotian honestly felt he wasn't qualified.

Have you ever heard of a holy site inscribing words for someone else? Who has ever heard of the world's foremost sect inscribing words for a holy site?

It is true that I, Cheng Xiaotian, am the sect leader of the number one sect in the world, but to say that I can inscribe a name for the holy land Vast Heaven Sect is a bit too far-fetched.

Cheng Xiaotian immediately thought of Old Master Wuyang.

You should know that the unparalleled and just Old Master Wuyang is known as the longest-living person on the Blazing Sun Continent.

Moreover, not only was Old Master Wuyang exceptionally fair and just, but he also possessed superb calligraphy skills.

Countless sects around the world today have had their plaques inscribed by Old Master Wuyang.

However, when Cheng Xiaotian contacted Old Master Wuyang immediately refused Cheng Xiaotian's request for an inscription.

It's not that Old Master Wuyang thinks his calligraphy is bad; on the contrary, in terms of calligraphy and literary talent, Old Master Wuyang is absolutely top-tier among the top in the entire Three Continents.

The reason why Old Master Wuyang didn't choose to make a move was because he knew that this was the Old Master Wuyang Vast Heaven Holy Land...

This is the first sacred site in history to witness a level-ten extraordinary phenomenon, and also the first sacred site in all of history...

Given the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Old Master Wuyang understood that even he was not qualified to inscribe a message for the Vast Heaven Sect.

But Old Master Wuyang also gave Cheng Xiaotian some advice.

No one in the world today is qualified to inscribe the plaque for the Vast Heaven Holy Land Vast Heaven Sect.

Only members of the Vast Heaven Sect could inscribe the four characters "Vast Heaven Holy Land" on this plaque.

Therefore, this piece of Purple Cloud Immortal Wood is left blank... The final inscription on it will be left for the Vast Heaven Sect to write themselves!

"This final inscription at the Vast Heaven Holy Land —besides Brother Mingchao, I'm afraid no one else in the world is qualified to do it!"

With a smile, Cheng Xiaotian presented the plaque to Gu Mingchao.

At this moment, not only Cheng Xiaotian, but also everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect focused their attention on the sect leader. However, just as everyone was witnessing the sect Gu Mingchao personally inscribing the plaque for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Gu Mingchao spoke up.

"Xinghe..."

"Ah... Disciple is here..." Chu Xinghe stepped out from the crowd.

"You'll inscribe this plaque for the Vast Heaven Holy Land!" Gu Mingchao's words were met with complete silence.

To be fair, the people from the Vast Heaven Sect were alright. Today, they were writing an inscription for the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Although the sect leader was the best candidate, they didn't think it would be a big deal if Chu Xinghe were to write it.

After all, the sect leader represents the present of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, while Chu Xinghe represents its Future.

By giving the opportunity to inscribe the calligraphy to Chu Xinghe, Gu Mingchao was also telling the whole world that Chu Xinghe was the Future of the Vast Heaven Sect and its only future leader!

Therefore, in response to Gu Mingchao's words, all the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Sect standing here showed smiles and encouragement.

Seeing all this, Zheng Yu was so shocked that words could not describe it.

Zheng Yu has always used Senior Brother Xinghe as the sole standard to demand of herself.

As far as Zheng Yu knew, the prodigies of various sects all used this as a standard to demand of themselves.

At one time, Zheng Yu felt that his status in Martial Emperor City was comparable to that of his Senior Brother Xinghe in the Vast Heaven Sect.

But at this moment, Zheng Yu realized that the gap between him and Senior Brother Xinghe was still too great.

If it were Martial Emperor City writing the inscription today, then only Master Cheng Xiaotian would be qualified... Even if Master actually asked me to write the inscription, not to mention the disciples of the sect, even the elders of the sect would probably think it was inappropriate.

Moreover, not only himself, but any other sect's prodigy would absolutely not be qualified to represent the sect in writing the inscription.

Even if it were true, someone would surely jump out and say, "What qualifications do you have to inscribe something for a sect?"

But today, Gu Mingchao unhesitatingly chose to entrust Chu Xinghe with the inscription of the plaque for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and judging from the attitude of everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect, not a single person felt that there was anything wrong with it!

In fact, many people felt that this was quite appropriate.

Not to mention the people of the Vast Heaven Sect, even Zheng Yu felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with having Senior Brother Xinghe write the inscription.

Because what Sect Master Gu said was right: he represents the present of Vast Heaven Holy Land, while Chu Xinghe represents the Future of Vast Heaven Holy Land.

The Vast Heaven Sect has come this far to become the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and everyone has witnessed everything that Senior Brother Xinghe has done for the sect.

Many people, even privately, say that without Chu Xinghe, the Vast Heaven Sect would never have been able to enter the ranks of the holy lands.

Some say that Chu Xinghe will definitely become the Holy Son of the Vast Heaven Sect at this Vast Heaven Sect Holy Ascension Ceremony, since who else is qualified besides Chu Xinghe?

However, some argue that Chu Xinghe's significance to the Vast Heaven Sect is so far that whether Holy Son not is no longer important.

Now, no one in the Vast Heaven Sect has any doubts or hesitations when faced with the various things Chu Xinghe proposes, no matter how outrageous they may be.

No one would question any of Chu Xinghe's decisions.

At this moment, all eyes were on Chu Xinghe, and everyone was waiting for him to pick up the golden pen and, representing the Future of Chu Xinghe Vast Heaven Holy Land, to inscribe the new plaque for Vast Heaven Holy Land.

But amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Chu Xinghe spoke.

"Xinghe thanks Sect Master for his trust, and also thanks everyone in the sect for their trust in Xinghe. It is my greatest honor to be able to join the Chu Xinghe Vast Heaven Sect in this life, and I am proud to be a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect at all times."

"But today, Xinghe feel I am not qualified to Xinghe this message. The Vast Heaven Sect was able to enter the Holy Land not because of me, Chu Xinghe, but because of every single one of us in the Vast Heaven Sect... Today's achievements should not belong to any one person, but to everyone!"

"Not only every member of the Vast Heaven Sect today, but also the sages of the Vast Heaven Sect throughout history—if it weren't for the foundation they laid for our Vast Heaven Sect, the Vast Heaven Sect would never have achieved what it has today. So I often feel grateful that Heaven has been kind to me, allowing me to be a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect in this life, and enabling me to witness the Vast Heaven Sect stepping into the Supreme holy land."

"Therefore, Chu Xinghe is not the Future of the Vast Heaven Sect. The Future of the Vast Heaven Sect should belong to every one of us. Achieving a sacred land is not easy, but maintaining it is even more difficult. In the Future, Xinghe hopes that everyone in the sect will not forget our past efforts, nor will they forget today's glory. But we will never stop because of this. What we want to pursue is tomorrow's glory!"

"Therefore, Xinghe earnestly requests the Sect Master to personally inscribe a message for the sect, to inspire every disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect to jointly create Future for the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

After Chu Xinghe spoke, the room fell silent. At that moment, Cheng Xiaotian sighed, "This is Chu Xinghe."

Everyone says that Chu Xinghe unrestrained and imaginative, with flawless strategies and wisdom bordering on the supernatural. But everyone seems to have forgotten that Chu Xinghe is actually still very young. As the saying goes, youth is often arrogant. Today, he is facing the honor of writing an inscription for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

To be honest, Cheng Xiaotian felt that if he were Chu Xinghe, he would probably go up without hesitation, because such an honor is really hard to resist.

But Chu Xinghe didn't. He didn't take all the credit for himself, but was willing to share it with everyone in the sect. Even Cheng Xiaotian admired this mindset.

Looking at the Xinghe before him, Gu Mingchao felt a sense of satisfaction.

This is what has always made Xinghe admired by everyone in the sect, from elders to disciples. Xinghe has made great contributions to the sect, but Xinghe has never become arrogant because of his achievements. He has always been the Chu Xinghe in everyone's eyes, and his original intention has never changed.

We will never allow the sect to suffer even the slightest loss, nor will we allow any of our disciples to suffer any disadvantage. We are always thinking of every single person in the sect.

Gu Mingchao had something he wanted to say but ultimately didn't: Xinghe's entry into the Vast Heaven Sect wasn't just Xinghe's good fortune, but rather the Vast Heaven Sect 'Vast Heaven Sect good fortune to have Xinghe...
