Mao Time.

The Great Luo Holy Land was already bustling with activity.

All the disciples were rushing to the Heaven Worship Hall.

Today was the day of the Eldest Senior Brother's investiture. Everyone in the sect, whether True Disciples or outer sect disciples, had to come to the Heaven Worship Hall to witness the Eldest Senior Brother's investiture.

Outside the Heaven Worship Hall, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, the sect had hundreds of thousands of members attending today's Grand Ceremony.

The robes of the Great Luo disciples were interwoven with cyan and white, displaying an elegant appearance.

"Do you think Eldest Senior Brother will ascend in broad daylight today?"

"Definitely."

"Ah, to be fortunate enough to witness such a feat as ascending in broad daylight, I haven't lived in vain."

"Not necessarily. Maybe Eldest Senior Brother is fond of us and unwilling to ascend."

"No way, why wouldn't he ascend if he could? Ascending in three years is an unprecedented feat. If it were me, I would definitely ascend."

"That's your thinking. What kind of person is Eldest Senior Brother? How can you compare?"

People were talking, many believing that Lu Changsheng would ascend today, but there were also dissenting voices.

"He definitely won't ascend. Eldest Senior Brother loves Eldest Senior Sister. How could he bear to leave Senior Sister alone in the mortal world?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Eldest Senior Brother is a seed of infatuation. He definitely won't abandon Senior Sister."

Soon, some female cultivators spoke up, giving affirmative answers.

"How do you know Eldest Senior Brother is infatuated?"

A male disciple asked curiously.

"It's written in the book. Those who are handsome are very infatuated."

The female disciple replied.

"What book?"

The other party continued to ask.

"Peerless Paragon Lu Changsheng."

The latter immediately replied.

"Who wrote this book?"

"Written by Senior Sister Ziyun's maid."

""

The noise of the Heaven Worship Hall failed to reach the Great Luo Palace.

And at this moment.

Inside the Great Luo Palace.

Lu Changsheng stood in the main hall, holding a jade scroll in his hand, watching intently.

Above the palace, Qingyun Daoist stroked his long beard, his face full of pride.

After a while.

Qingyun Daoist's voice gradually sounded.

"Changsheng, what do you think of this proclamation?"

As he said this, Qingyun Daoist's face was full of undisguised pride.

But Lu Changsheng was somewhat silent.

The so-called proclamation was the article he would read after offering sacrifices to heaven later.

Most of the proclamations meant, I am so-and-so, now for so-and-so, and in the future, I will do so-and-so, hoping everyone will support me, and that's about it.

But the proclamation that Qingyun Daoist gave him was a bit too exaggerated.

The opening was a burst of boasting, the meaning of which was roughly that after he became the Eldest Senior Brother, he would lead the sect to a new glory, beat the Eastern Land with his fists, step on the Western Desert with his feet, look at the world, and be the only one in the universe.

This was simply an exaggeration.

The problem was that his master was still complacent and proud of it.

"Master, isn't this proclamation a bit too flamboyant?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but answer.

"Flamboyant? Not flamboyant, where is it flamboyant?" Qingyun Daoist walked down, looked at the proclamation in Lu Changsheng's hand, and then said, "Changsheng, this proclamation was written by the master when he inherited the position of Sect Leader, but it was later stopped by your grandmaster, so this proclamation became a major regret for the master. Today, you are conferred the position of Eldest Senior Brother, and the master will give you this treasured proclamation, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish."

Qingyun Daoist said with utmost seriousness.

He really couldn't see that his master had such a strong desire to show off.

Rubbing his temples.

Lu Changsheng really felt that this proclamation was a bit too much.

He wanted to change some of it, but found that he couldn't start.

Wouldn't it be better to be low-key?

"Alright, alright, Master understands, you are low-key and don't like this, but it's difficult to have a good proclamation for a while. In a quarter of an hour, it will be the Heaven Worship Grand Ceremony. If you can think of a better proclamation, Master will follow you. If you can't, then follow Master's."

Qingyun Daoist said so.

Now Lu Changsheng understood.

His master wanted to show off at the beginning, but was suppressed by his grandmaster. As a result, his master was brooding over it, so he pinned his hopes on himself.

But he knew he wouldn't do this.

So he played a trick.

Frowning, he rubbed his temples again.

Lu Changsheng knew that he had been schemed against.

As expected, the ginger is always spicier when it's old.

But it was okay, although he couldn't recall the proclamation off the top of his head, Lu Changsheng did know some inspirational words.

In the end, it was still the draft his master had given him that was too exaggerated.

Lu Changsheng felt that if he were to take this proclamation out, he would probably make countless enemies in the blink of an eye.

"Mao Time has arrived!"

As the bell rang.

The Grand Ceremony officially began.

A rainbow bridge appeared outside the Great Luo Palace, connecting to the Heaven Worship Hall.

"Go, Changsheng."

Qingyun Daoist was full of smiles.

Clearly, he had already envisioned countless disciples becoming excited because of this proclamation.

After tidying up his clothes, under the watchful eye of Qingyun Daoist, Lu Changsheng stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

"The Great Luo Gathering, the Consecration Ceremony, officially begins!"

A loud voice rang out.

Then, immortal music began to play, and many petals fell from the sky.

Lu Changsheng stood on the rainbow bridge, his transcendent temperament instantly becoming the highlight of the entire venue.

Countless gazes were cast over, each filled with shock and disbelief.

Many people had not seen Lu Changsheng before, and upon seeing him today, they were astonished as if they had seen a celestial being.

At this moment, all the rumors became true, and no one would question Lu Changsheng.

Because he looked too much like an immortal.

Dressed in a Qingyun Qilin robe, stepping on the rainbow bridge, surrounded by yin and yang energy, like the son of the Great Dao, like a banished immortal from the Immortal Realm descending to the mortal world.

At the Heaven Worship Hall.

Lu Changsheng walked down the rainbow bridge. According to the ceremony, he lit three incense sticks, then bowed to Heaven and Earth, and then to the Ancestral Master. After a series of tedious rituals.

Half an hour later, the Sect Leader's voice rang out.

"I am the Great Luo Sect Leader, Qingyun Daoist. Today, I consecrate Lu Changsheng as the Great Luo Holy Land's Eldest Senior Brother, as the Great Luo's role model, and as the paragon of all disciples. I hereby bestow the First Mountain Peak! The duty of supervising the Seven Halls! And one Great Luo Ancient Token, which can be used to dispatch all Great Luo disciples."

Qingyun Daoist's voice rang out.

These words surprised many people.

But as an ancient token appeared in the void and landed in Lu Changsheng's hand, everything was settled.

The reason for everyone's shock was simple: this was the Great Luo Ancient Token, and there were only three in the entire sect.

One piece is in the hands of the Supreme Elder group, one piece is in the hands of the Sect Leader, and the other piece is in the hands of the Great Luo Holy Son.

The ancient token represents the highest level of Great Luo.

The Supreme Elder group possesses one piece, but unless this piece is a last resort.

Unless the Sect Leader dies in battle, or the Sect Leader is absent, including the absence of the other holder of the Great Luo ancient token, then this piece has supreme power.

The last piece is the one in Lu Changsheng's hand.

If the Sect Leader is not present! Then he is the Sect Leader!

Issuing decrees is like the Sect Leader's decree, it is the highest authority, allowing for immediate action without prior approval, possessing absolute power.

This ancient token is only bestowed upon the Great Luo Holy Son, but now, bestowing it upon the Eldest Senior Brother means giving this ancient token to Lu Changsheng.

From this, two points can be proven.

First, if Lu Changsheng does not make any major mistakes in the future, he will undoubtedly be the Holy Son, the successor of the Great Luo Holy Land!

Second, Lu Changsheng has already obtained the collective agreement of the Sect Leader, the higher-ups, including the Supreme Elder group.

Otherwise, the Great Luo ancient token would absolutely not be given now.

In other words, Lu Changsheng has conquered everyone with his looks!

"We have seen the Eldest Senior Brother!"

As the Sect Leader's voice fell.

In an instant, 100,000 disciples, in unison, bowed and shouted.

"Lu Changsheng greets all fellow junior brothers!"

Lu Changsheng also bowed deeply.

From this moment on.

Lu Changsheng is the Great Luo Eldest Senior Brother, holding the highest power.

However, the Qingyun Sect Leader in the distance looked at Lu Changsheng with anticipation.

He was waiting for that earth-shattering declaration.
