He forced himself to calm down, withdrew his hands from Lin Xuan's shoulders, and resumed his serene, unruffled demeanor.
"I hereby announce that, from this moment on, Lin Xuan shall be a Dao Holder Candidate of our Heavenly Dao Sect. Once he suppresses a Disciple of the Dao within the same realm, he shall obtain the status of Disciple of the Dao, along with the complete inheritance of the Limitless Heavenly Dao Scripture."
Overturning Heavens Senior's voice was like thunder, shaking the nine heavens and echoing in everyone's hearts.
The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect showed little reaction. From the moment Overturning Heavens Senior opened his Insight Eye, they had more or less anticipated this outcome.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lin Xuan broke into a smile and withdrew his power.
"Haha... a Dao Holder Candidate may not yet be a Disciple of the Dao, but it's still ridiculously impressive."
"Big Brother is mighty!"
"A Dao Holder Candidate may travel throughout the entire Heavenly Dao Sect—the inner sect area, the Core Region, even the Heavenly Dao Palace. Brother Lin... all those inheritances and resources... leave a little for me, will you..."
Excited voices rang endlessly around Lin Xuan's ears.
On the other side, Young Lord Wind Fiend and his group wore expressions as though they were constipated, their hearts filled with unease.
They had entered the Heavenly Dao Sect together, so why had the gap between them suddenly become so vast?
Everything that had happened earlier now seemed as if it had merely been toying with them.
"Now that you have joined our Heavenly Dao Sect, it is time you changed how you address me."
Overturning Heavens Senior looked at Lin Xuan. Though his tone was calm, everyone could hear the indulgence within it.
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Lin Xuan
