The Holy Land's Holy Son!

The challenges posed by the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to Chu Xinghe's phantom continue unabated.

There's no way around it; the opportunity for a breakthrough in one's state of mind brought by the illusion of Chu Xinghe within the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele is just too tempting.

Who can resist an opportunity to elevate their mindset?

Moreover, even if the whole world believes that Chu Xinghe's phantom is invincible at the same level, there are still countless people who think that it's only because I haven't gone yet!

No matter how ordinary I may seem... I believe I am the true chosen one. I haven't even challenged Chu Xinghe's phantom yet, so what makes you think I can't defeat it?

Even if I lose this time, what makes you think I can't defeat Chu Xinghe's phantom next time?

Nothing in this world is difficult; the only thing to fear is stubbornness!

Chu Xinghe had lost count of how much the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele had earned from this group of stubborn individuals' relentless efforts. However, when his junior brother Huang Ritian came to him and offered to be relieved of his duties with the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, Chu Xinghe knew... that this time, no one could stop the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele.

Look at how uncomfortable my Junior Brother Huang and all the other Civil Engineering Department students look...

Chu Xinghe immediately dismissed his fellow disciples from the Civil Engineering Department from the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele... After all, his Civil Engineering Department disciples were in such a state... and he still made them manage the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele every day, and let them see all those resources that were being rushed into the sect...

This is practically like pouring aqua regia on their wounds.

The Civil Engineering Department disciples, having bid farewell to the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, wanted some peace and quiet... but before they could even settle down, they discovered that the Mining disciples were working overtime like they were on steroids!

The Civil Engineering Department students were furious... Huang Ritian immediately went to confront the Mining students, who retorted... "You were the ones who told us to speed things up!"

It's you who are stopping us from speeding up... Are you Civil Engineering Department students trying to defy the heavens?

The miners then ignored the cries of the Civil Engineering Department students and proceeded to collect as many Nine-Colored Spirit Stones as possible!

Huang Ritian stared at the mountain of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones... he was completely numb...

Is this what they call "you reap what you sow"?

However, no matter how hard the miners tried, they would eventually have to stop working.

The day of the Holy Ascension Ceremony has arrived.

This Holy Ascension Ceremony was personally presided over by Elder He and the Great Sage.

There's nothing we can do... After the Four Continents split apart, no holy land ever emerged on any of them.

Therefore, holy sites only exist in various ancient texts. Elder He, with his unparalleled knowledge of the Holy Ascension Ceremony, must have seen the process, and the Great Sage had personally experienced it.

Entrusting it to those two gives me peace of mind.

The entire sacrificial ceremony is divided into two stages. The first stage is to worship the martyrs, but this sacrificial ceremony is different from the Millennial Grand Sacrifice.

The Millennial Grand Sacrifice is a tribute to all the sages who participated in the Battle to Vanquish Evil on the entire Blazing Sun Continent. While the Holy Ascension Ceremony also involves some tributes to the sages of the world, it is mainly for the martyrs of the Vast Heaven Sect.

After all, without the efforts of the martyrs of the Vast Heaven Sect, there would be no Vast Heaven Holy Land today.

During the entire process of commemorating the martyrs of the Vast Heaven Sect, the sect leaders of the Vast Heaven Sect will also be posthumously awarded holy titles. There is nothing wrong with saying that you were the nth generation Great Emperor Haotian.

However, after the Holy Ascension Ceremony, no matter which generation of the Great Emperor Haotian you mention, you must address him as the Holy Land Supreme; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

After the sacrificial ceremony to the sages is completed, the next step is the pilgrimage of all sects. During this step, the Vast Heaven Sect will receive the pilgrimage and congratulations from all forces, large and small, in the world. After this, the Vast Heaven Sect will become a thing of the past, and from then on, there will only be the Vast Heaven Holy Land in the world.

Of course, during this process, Gu Mingchao will also become the new generation's Holy Land Supreme of Vast Heaven Holy Land.

However, no one cares about Gu Mingchao, the Holy Land Supreme, not even Gu Mingchao himself.

Gu Mingchao only cared that during this Holy Ascension Ceremony, while he became the Holy Land Supreme, Xinghe would also surely become the Holy Son!

Holy Son! Holy Son! Disciple of the Holy Land Supreme!

Gu Mingchao burst into wild laughter upon thinking about this!

My wish has come true! My wish has come true!

At this Holy Ascension Ceremony, Xinghe will undoubtedly become my disciple, Gu Mingchao! You old fogies, how will you stop me this time?

Just as Gu Mingchao was considering whether or not to redesign a Holy Son outfit for Xinghe, many elders of the Vast Heaven Sect approached the sect leader.

"Sect Master, we have come here to discuss Xinghe's becoming Holy Son!" the First Elder said.

"What's there to discuss? Besides Xinghe, who else is qualified for the position of Holy Son?" Gu Mingchao said arrogantly.

"What the Sect Master says makes sense, but... Sect Master, you may not know this..." Elder He interjected, "The position of Holy Son is incomparably prestigious. The Vast Heaven Sect Xinghe become a Holy Land, and Xinghe's becoming Holy Son the will of the people. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for Xinghe to become Holy Son. However, does the Sect Master know that, according to the rules, every Holy Son of a Holy Land must observe three years of mourning for the fallen heroes before officially becoming Holy Son? To ask Xinghe to observe three years of mourning... this..."

Elder He said this, everyone shook their heads.

You must understand, the Xinghe is extremely important to a sect.

If you were to suggest having the sect leader keep vigil for three years, everyone would immediately raise their hands in approval. But isn't it a bit excessive to have Xinghe keep vigil for three years?

Xinghe's three-year vigil had a profound impact on the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

Moreover, putting all that aside, Xinghe's three-year vigil would also be a limitation for Xinghe personally...

After all, Xinghe cannot step out of the ancestral land during the vigil. Wouldn't three years of this mean that Xinghe's cultivation would be delayed?

Therefore, there were no problems with the entire process of the Holy Ascension Ceremony, except for the matter of the Holy Son, which the elders had been discussing for so long without reaching a conclusion.

Making Xinghe keep vigil for three years is something no one can accept under any circumstances.

Let alone them, even Gu Mingchao couldn't accept it!

"Can't we break with convention?" Gu Mingchao asked.

Upon hearing what Gu Mingchao said, the Grand Elder immediately stood up.

"The Sect Master is right... It's true that the Holy Son guards the spirit, but our Vast Heaven Sect is also the first Tenth-Tier Holy Land in history to break through the waiting-for-anomaly. It's not that we can't break the rules!"

"The Grand Elder is right! Let's break with convention!"

"That's right! We should break with convention!"

The elders chimed in, each offering their own opinions, Gu Mingchao listened with a broad smile...

Everyone agrees on this; let's break the rules and not let Xinghe Guardian be used, right?

I, Gu Mingchao, will personally kowtow to our ancestors to apologize. I believe they will understand the importance of Xinghe to us and will certainly not blame us.

Grand Elder: "Since even the Sect Master says it's possible to break with convention, then it's decided... Xinghe will not become the Holy Son!"

Gu Mingchao: "???"

Gu Mingchao was completely dumbfounded... Wait... Elder... wasn't our discussion about breaking with convention about not letting Xinghe guard the spirit?

What the hell do you mean by turning breaking the rules into preventing Xinghe from becoming the Holy Son just because you disagreed with him?

Elder He: "Sect Master is of noble character... and is even capable of breaking with convention. This time, let's do as Sect Master says and not let Xinghe become the Holy Son!"

Gu Mingchao: "I didn't say that!"

Elder Yu: "The Sect Master is right... Our Vast Heaven Sect is Tenth-Tier Holy Land, unprecedented in history. Breaking some conventions is perfectly reasonable!"

Gu Mingchao: "That doesn't make sense!"

Elder He: "That's right, the sect leader and I are thinking the same thing. As long as Xinghe isn't made a Holy Son, Xinghe naturally won't need to guard the spirit! The position of Holy Son is just an empty title, and Xinghe certainly won't care about it!"

Gu Mingchao: "Is there anyone here who can hear me?"

The Great Sage, "Since the Sect Master has agreed to break with convention, let's proceed as we previously agreed. This eliminates any concerns about not allowing Holy One to become the Holy Son!"

Gu Mingchao: "Are you all deaf?"

Grand Elder: "However, the Holy Land cannot be without Holy Son..."

Gu Mingchao: "The Grand Elder is right... If the Holy Land has no Holy Son, wouldn't it be a laughing stock!"

The First Elder said, "Therefore, we will stick to our previous agreement and have Chu Cheng as the Holy Son in place of Xinghe! He will guard Xinghe's spirit for three years! We both come from Kaoshan Village, are childhood friends, and even share the same surname, Chu Cheng. It's perfect that Chu Cheng guards Xinghe's spirit in his place!"

Gu Mingchao: "????????????????"

The elders all nodded in agreement, indicating that the Grand Elder was absolutely right!

The Holy Son needs to keep vigil, but everyone feels that having Xinghe do it would greatly affect Xinghe's Future...

But similarly, a holy land cannot be without Holy Son...

But whoever becomes the Holy Son will be required to guard the spirit... So no matter which disciple goes, it will have an impact on that disciple.

It all comes down to the First Elder. His initial idea was. "Why don't we be even bolder, break with convention... and have the Sect Master keep vigil?"

The respect shown by Holy Son guarding the spirit is nothing compared to that of Holy Land Supreme, right?

The Grand Elder's idea was initially approved by almost everyone, but the problem is that the sect leader is sometimes still useful within the sect...

To directly assign the sect leader to guard the coffin... isn't that a bit too outrageous?

So after much deliberation, everyone felt that sending the sect leader was not appropriate...

Just when everyone was at a loss, the White Tiger Holy Venerable proposed an idea that made everyone's eyes light up...

Actually, Chu Cheng could have been sent to guard the tomb... They're both from Kaoshan Village... They both share the surname Chu... They've been "friends" since childhood, and the area where the sage's tomb is located is connected to the outer gate... Chu Cheng wouldn't even need to move to start the guarding mission.

Most importantly... no matter how long Chu Cheng the spirit, it won't affect his cultivation!

Upon hearing the White Tiger Holy Venerable's idea, all the elders' eyes lit up!

This White Tiger Holy Venerable is flawless!

Immediately inform Chu Cheng... From today onwards, he is the Holy Son of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Let him keep vigil until he dies, no problem!
