The Sacred Ground Has Decided: You'll Be the Holy Son! (4K)

"You've already mastered the Sixth Layer the Positive Yang Fire Essence Art; that truly exceeds my expectations."

After Lu Changsheng emerged from seclusion, Lin Xuantong checked Lu Changsheng's cultivation progress and praised him even more.

The "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" is Taihua Sacred Ground's Secret Art. It is a Middle-Grade Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method, divided into Nine Layers. Under normal circumstances, only Immortal Emperor can cultivate the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" to its Great Perfection.

Lu Changsheng had just reached the Nine-Layer Golden Immortal and had already mastered the Sixth Layer. At this rate, Lu Changsheng might be able to cultivate the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" to the Ninth Layer when he reaches the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

"Junior brother's talent is truly terrifying."

Lin Qinghan smiled helplessly.

She was already at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and only then could she barely keep up with Lu Changsheng's progress.

Lin Qinghan, who had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, still found it difficult to cultivate under the guidance of Lin Xuantong and at the same time began practicing the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art".

In other words, Lu Changsheng's qualifications are superior to Lin Qinghan's.

Lin Xuantong's Eldest Disciple, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang, may not even be as talented as Lu Changsheng.

Lin Xuantong instructed Lu Changsheng in cultivating the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" and the Seventh Layer the "Eternal Sacred Canon".

After the morning lessons, Lu Changsheng went back to continue teaching his students.

After Lu Changsheng left, Lin Xuantong Lin Qinghan, "Daughter, what do you think of this boy?"

"Ah?"

Lin Qinghan was surprised that Lin Xuantong would ask this question.

"This lad's talent is astonishing. If he continues cultivating, he might even succeed me as the leader of the Taihua Sacred Ground. However, he is, after all, from outside the Holy Land and does not possess the Remote Antiquity bloodline of Non-Self Taihua Sacred Ground. I'm afraid he won't be able to command respect, and our ancestors and Grand Supreme Elders won't agree to my training him as a successor. In that case, it would be difficult for me to impart the most powerful Cultivation Method of the Holy Land. Our Lin Household clan is a direct descendant of the Great Expert who founded the Holy Land. If he could join our clan, not only would others have no objections, but our clan could also continue to control the Holy Land. Of course, it all depends on your own wishes."

Lin Xuantong intended to cultivate Lu Changsheng into the next Taihua Sacred Lord, but the Holy Land was not only Lin Xuantong's force, but also had many factions. Even Lin Xuantong had to find a way to balance the various factions.

Lu Changsheng has high qualifications, but the biggest problem is that Lu Changsheng is an outsider and has not been in the Taihua Sacred Ground for long enough to have his interests tied to the Holy Land.

People like Lin Xuantong, Lin Qinghan, and Jiang Yu, whose ancestors established the Taihua Sacred Ground and have lived there for generations, would do everything in the best interests of the Holy Land, which is perfectly understandable.

If Lu Changsheng has no relatives in the Taihua Sacred Ground, it's not impossible that he could leave the Holy Land at any time, or even sell Holy Land.

Lin Qinghan hesitated, fiddling with her Black Hair. "I'll think about it some more. I have a feeling he already has someone he likes..."

"So."

Lin Xuantong scratched his head. Although his cultivation was extraordinary, he was not capable of interfering in the emotional disputes between juniors.

Someone like him, who has just glimpsed Cause and Effect and destiny, often goes with the flow and does not forcibly defy fate.

"But his talent is extremely high. He has cultivated under my tutelage for ten thousand years, remaining humble and modest, and is also kind-hearted and of excellent character. It would be a waste not to nurture him carefully. I will discuss this with the elders."

Lin Xuantong went to the Rear Mountain of the Holy Land.

"My esteemed ancestors, I have something to discuss with you."

"Is there something so important that even you can't make a decision?"

Several patriarchs who were in seclusion in the Rear Mountain used their External Incarnation Divine Ability to create avatars, and several avatars appeared.

"I plan to appoint my Disciple as the Saint and proceed with the next stage of his training."

"What?!"

"Lin Xuantong, do you know what you're saying?"

"The Saint and Saintess are being groomed as the next Sacred Lord, and they may have access to the core Cultivation Method and some secrets of our Taihua Sacred Ground. He is Rogue Cultivator from outside, and his background is hard to say. If he is a pawn planted by the Demon Realm in our Taihua Sacred Ground, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The elders were all deeply moved.

While both Saint and Holy Son Candidates enjoy the privilege of exchanging Cultivation Method and Medicinal Pills at half price, their treatment differs drastically once they reach the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The Saint and Saintess are the candidates for the next Sacred Lord. Before becoming the Immortal Emperor, the Saint and Holy Saintess are prone to perish midway, so in the eyes of these ancestors, there is not much difference between the Saint and the Holy Son Candidate.

However, once one becomes Immortal Emperor, they are very difficult to kill. Even when the Great Freedom Buddha was struck by the Taiyin Goddess Puppet's sword, he was able to escape, demonstrating the Immortal Emperor's remarkable ability to preserve his life.

Once the Saint becomes Immortal Emperor, the Holy Land will devote all its efforts to cultivating him, and the gap between him and Holy Son Candidates will widen.

Then, the strongest among the Saint and Saintess will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, become the next Sacred Lord.

Lin Xuantong succeeded as the Holy Taihua Sacred Lord as the Saint.

The Moon Palace Master then succeeded her as the Saintess Maiden.

The various Holy Lands use this method of "raising Gu" (a type of insect) to cultivate the strongest Sacred Lords, ensuring that each generation of Holy Land Sacred Lords is an exceptional individual.

Lin Xuantong solemnly stated, "I have already investigated this matter secretly. This young man Ascension from a Small World, his connections are simple, and he cannot be from the Demon Realm... Furthermore, his talent surpasses that of Qingyang."

The elders fell silent.

This is extremely high praise.

Lin Xuantong's Eldest Disciple, Immortal Emperor Qingyang, was the pride of the Taihua Sacred Ground at that time. He suppressed an era, and all the young talents of his era, including Holy Son Candidate and even Lin Xuantong's eldest daughter, the Saintess at the time, paled in comparison.

The Immortal Emperor Qingyang also married the then- Taihua Saintess, becoming Lin Xuantong's son-in-law and the recognized candidate for the next Sacred Lord.

Until the Immortal Emperor Qingyang disappeared...

Now that Lin Xuantong has guided Lu Changsheng in cultivation for ten thousand years, he has concluded that Lu Changsheng's talent is even greater than that of the Immortal Emperor Qingyang. With his discerning eye, he might misjudge a person's character, but he would never misjudge a person's aptitude.

"If this person is loyal to our Taihua Sacred Ground, then he is worth cultivating."

"His aptitude is even higher than Qingyang's; it's hard to imagine what he will achieve in the future."

"Lin Xuantong, the Holy Land has already consumed a vast amount of resources to cultivate your Eldest Disciple, only for him to disappear without a trace. Don't let us down this time. Although our Taihua Sacred Ground is vast and powerful, the resources required to cultivate a Great Perfection Immortal Emperor's Saint are astronomical. Moreover, the loss of an Immortal Emperor Realm's Saint is equivalent to the waste of millions of years of our Taihua Sacred Ground's efforts."

After discussing it, the elders basically agreed with Lin Xuantong's decision.

Lin Xuantong's eyes were deep, as if deep in thought, "Rest assured, elders, every resource my disciple consumes will not be wasted."

"Wait a minute. Jiang Yu, a descendant of the Jiang Clan, is quite talented and will soon reach the Immortal Emperor Realm. Lu Changsheng has made no contribution to the Holy Land and is an outsider. What merit does he have to replace him? I refuse to accept this."

One of the elders protested, dissatisfied that the matter was about to be finalized.

"Jiang Hong is right. It wouldn't be fair to Jiang Yu if we old guys were to make the decision to replace the Saint."

"Why don't we let the two of them have a contest? The winner will be the Saint, and it will also allow us old folks to secretly observe their aptitudes."

"Sure. But my Disciple has just become Nine-Layer Golden Immortal; let's give him some more time to cultivate."

Seeing that the Jiang Clan Ancestor objected, Lin Xuantong, in order to protect the Jiang Clan, gave Jiang Yu a chance.

Jiang Hong coldly said, "If this person's talent surpasses that of Qingyang back then, then he can defeat Quasi-Emperor at the Nine-Layer Golden Immortal. Give him another three thousand years, and that should be about right."

Lin Xuantong frowned.

His Eldest Disciple, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang, did indeed defeat a Quasi-Emperor Realm level expert at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. However, the problem is that even Quasi-Emperors have varying levels of strength, which can be worlds apart.

Jiang Yu is the most outstanding young genius in the Jiang Clan, which is why he was able to defeat other Holy Son Candidate and become the Saint.

Jiang Yu is currently Quasi-Emperor, just half a step away from becoming a true Immortal Emperor.

For Lu Changsheng, Nine-Layer Golden Immortal, defeating Jiang Yu, Quasi-Emperor, would be extremely difficult.

Lin Xuantong was not confident that Lu Changsheng could win.

"That's a good idea."

"If his talent is truly that extraordinary, then I'll be convinced."

The other elders, however, seemed to thrive on chaos.

Three thousand years is not a problem for them; they only need to go into seclusion once, and three thousand years will have passed.

But they haven't had any fun in a long time.

This battle for the Saint is quite interesting.

Lin Xuantong a deep breath. "Since the elders have all agreed, then so be it. Three thousand years from now, Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yu will compete for the Holy Son Position. Tomorrow I will gather everyone to announce this."

The following day, the Sacred Lord Lin Xuantong summoned all the Grand Supreme Elders, Elders, and disciples to gather at the Main Peak.

Lin Xuantong rarely convened large gatherings; whenever he did, it meant he had something important to announce.

All the Saint, Saintess, and Holy Son Candidate and Saintess Candidate were also present.

Lu Changsheng stood beside Lin Qinghan as if nothing had happened, remaining aloof and indifferent.

The matter Lin Xuantong is about to announce should have nothing to do with me, right?

The Saint Jiang Yu cast a murderous glare at him.

Because of Lu Changsheng's appearance, Jiang Yu's position as the Saint became unstable. Lu Changsheng was also able to cultivate with Lin Qinghan every day, which made Jiang Yu even more envious, jealous, and hateful.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage.

Lu Changsheng ignored Jiang Yu.

With Lin Xuantong protecting him, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, no one will dare to mess with him.

The best course of action is to cultivate diligently and cautiously.

One of the Grand Supreme Elders spoke up, "Senior brother, is there anything important to announce that we have gathered here today?"

Lin Xuantong scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yu.

Lu Changsheng was puzzled. "Really? How come Lin Xuantong's conference is still related to me?"

"Lu Changsheng, the Holy Land has made its decision; you will be the Saint."

"No way?!"

As Lin Xuantong finished speaking, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.

Lu Changsheng has only been a member of the Taihua Sacred Ground for a little over ten thousand years, and he's already Saint?

The Saint holds a lofty position. Before becoming Immortal Emperor, his status is higher than that of ordinary Elders, but lower than that of the Sacred Lord and the Grand Supreme Elders.

Once the Saint becomes Immortal Emperor, his status will be even higher than that of the Grand Supreme Elders! (33novel. com)

Even Lu Changsheng was stunned.

I've always been low-key, so why was I still thrust into the spotlight?

"Sacred Lord, this is not fair!"

Jiang Yu immediately became anxious.

He hasn't even done anything yet, and he's already lost his status Saint?

He was unwilling to accept it!

Some Elders and Grand Supreme Elders stood up to protest. "This is inappropriate. The Saint has done nothing wrong and is the number one young genius of our Taihua Sacred Ground besides the Saintess. How can we easily replace him?"

The Elders and Grand Supreme Elders of the Jiang Clan protested most vehemently. "Jiang Yu's talent is no less than Lu Changsheng's, and he is utterly loyal to our Holy Land. There is no need to make an outsider the Saint!"

Lin Xuantong already knew their excuse, so he said, "Survival of the fittest, Jiang Yu, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. As long as you defeat my Disciple, you will still be the Saint. You both have three thousand years to prepare."

After listening to Lin Xuantong's words, Jiang Yu calmed down a little.

He is Quasi-Emperor, and will soon enter the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Even if Jiang Yu still cannot reach the Immortal Emperor Realm in the next three thousand years, his cultivation level will definitely be higher than it is now, infinitely close to that of Immortal Emperor.

How could a Nine-Layer Golden Immortal possibly compete with me for the Holy Son Position?

"Good!"

Jiang Yu clenched his fist.

This is a perfect opportunity to teach Lu Changsheng a lesson.

If the current Saint, a Quasi-Emperor Realm, doesn't dare to face the challenge of Holy Son Candidate at the Nine-Layer Golden Immortal level, then what qualifications does he have to lead the Holy Land in the future?

The expressions of many Elders and Grand Supreme Elders improved considerably.

Even if Lin Xuantong were the Taihua Sacred Lord, if he insisted on recommending his Disciple as the Saint, he would not be able to win over the masses, and the Grand Supreme Elders of other factions would not Qi Ingestion.

Some of these Grand Supreme Elders were Lin Xuantong's junior brothers, or perhaps former Holy Son Candidate.

Lin Xuantong could not ignore their attitude.

Lin Xuantong for Jiang Yu and Lu Changsheng to compete for the Holy Son Position three thousand years later. Jiang Yu was a realm higher than Lu Changsheng, so it seemed like Jiang Yu had the advantage.

All factions were relatively satisfied with this arrangement.

The Saint is already facing challenges from other Holy Son Candidates and other young talents. Jiang Yu has the advantage in cultivation level, so if he is defeated even so, then all factions will have nothing to say.

In the Immortal Realm, strength reigns supreme, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the strongest will inevitably take control of the Holy Lands.

"Lu Changsheng, you just wait. You'll only ever be a stepping stone for me."

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

He had a bad feeling when Lu Changsheng became Holy Son Candidate, and now Lu Changsheng is indeed going to challenge his position as Saint.

Lu Changsheng gave a helpless bitter smile. He really didn't want to become the Saint; it was only because Lin Xuantong valued him.

"Cultivate diligently. If you defeat Jiang Yu and become the Saint three thousand years from now, I will be able to impart some unique Divine Abilities of the Holy Land. Once the Saint becomes Immortal Emperor, he will also have the authority to access higher levels of the Scripture Repository and Treasure Pavilion."

Lin Xuantong secretly transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng.

Lin Xuantong what Lu Changsheng wanted.

Otherwise, he was genuinely afraid that Lu Changsheng would refuse to become the Saint.

This Disciple is outrageously low-key; unless you give him a push, he never wants to stand out.

Oh?

Lu Changsheng originally wanted to decline, but Lin Xuantong's words made Lu Changsheng change his mind.

Since there are so many benefits to Saint, why refuse?

Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
