Outside Golden Ao Island.
Sect Leader Tongtian's sword annihilated the Spiritual Sense of the Western Two Sages, as if it were a trivial matter.
He slowly turned his gaze back, landing on Senior Brother Xuandu once more.
At this moment, on Golden Ao Island below, the thunderous cheers of the Myriad Immortals, stirred by Senior Brother Xuandu repelling Yuanshi, still shook the heavens and earth.
"Senior Brother Xuandu!"
"Well said!"
The sound waves surged like a tide, brimming with the excitement of vindication and fervent admiration for Senior Brother Xuandu.
Sect Leader Tongtian did not stop them, merely listening quietly.
Only when the sound waves naturally reached their peak and began to recede did he slowly speak.
His voice was not loud, yet it was clear enough to suppress thousands of cheers, penetrating the hearts and minds of every Jie Sect disciple.
"Xuandu."
Just two words, calm and unruffled, yet carrying an undeniable majesty.
Instantly, heaven and earth fell silent.
The boiling Golden Ao Island seemed to have been pressed with a pause button.
All cheers, shouts, and discussions ceased abruptly.
Thousands of disciples, whether direct disciples or outer disciples, held their breath, their gazes uniformly fixed on the void outside the island, on the youth before the Sage in green.
Senior Brother Xuandu's heart tightened, knowing his Master had something important to announce.
He immediately collected his thoughts, suppressed the slight ripple in his emotions from the Myriad Immortals' cheers just now, took a step forward, bowed deeply, and said respectfully and steadily:
"Your disciple is here."
The entire world, billions of eyes, focused here.
Sect Leader Tongtian's gaze swept over the silent island below.
Duobao, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Zhao Gongming, the San Xiao sisters, Kong Xuan...
One by one, the core disciples, finally returning to Senior Brother Xuandu.
He slowly spoke, his voice like the resonant sound of the Great Dao, spreading to every corner of Golden Ao Island, proclaiming an established fact:
"Xuandu."
"Although you have only recently joined, your will is firm, your courage is extraordinary, and you are blessed with great fortune and favored by the Great Dao. You have already condensed the Three Flowers of Great Dao, and your cultivation has reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak."
"Today, under the Sage's might, you remained neither humble nor arrogant, steadfastly upholding the Jie Sect's Dao, defending the Sect Dignity, and promoting the Jie Sect's Prestige."
"This heart, this will, this achievement, this deed, shall be rewarded!"
The voice paused slightly, then Sect Leader Tongtian's voice suddenly rose, carrying the supreme majesty of a Heavenly Dao Sage whose words are law:
"From this day forward, Xuandu shall be my Jie Sect's Personal Disciple!"
"His position shall be equal to Duobao, Jinling, Wu Dang, Gui Ling, and Kong Xuan!"
"You may choose a Blessed Land outside Biyou Palace to establish your own cave dwelling and cultivate the Great Dao!"
"You shall enjoy all the rights and privileges of a Personal Disciple, and be protected by the Jie Sect's Fortune!"
Upon hearing this, although they had a premonition, the true declaration from the Sage's own mouth still stirred up immense waves in the hearts of thousands of disciples!
Personal Disciple!
This was the most core and revered status within the Jie Sect!
To be ranked alongside Senior Brother Duobao, Saint Mother Jinling, and others!
Enjoying supreme authority and resource allocation, and being one of the important bearers of the Jie Sect's Fortune!
Throughout the vast Jie Sect, where Myriad Immortals Come to Court, fewer than ten individuals had ever received such an honor!
And Xuandu, how long had he been in the Jie Sect?
At most, only a few days!
Yet, he had leaped from an outer disciple to a Personal Disciple!
What a speed of advancement!
What profound Sage's favor!
However, apart from Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, whose expression was grim, no one felt it was inappropriate.
The foundation that induced the Chaos Anomaly just now.
That solid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak cultivation.
That unparalleled courage to face the Yuqing Sage directly, using the Dao Ancestor as an example, and repelling the Sage with a single sentence that struck at the heart!
All of this was enough to prove that Xuandu was qualified!
He had the strength!
He deserves the position of personal disciple!
After a brief silence.
On Golden Ao Island, earth-shattering waves of sound erupted once more!
This time, it was no longer just cheers, but congratulations filled with recognition and submission!
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xuandu, on becoming a personal disciple!"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xuandu!"
The sound waves rolled, rushing straight into the sky, overflowing with genuine joy.
Daoist Duobao was the first to cup his hands, his expression calm, but his eyes held recognition:
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Xuandu."
Saint Mother Jinling, spiritual light flowing around her, nodded slightly:
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Xuandu."
A faint smile appeared on Saint Mother Wudang's cool and clear face.
Saint Mother Guiling said with a giggle:
"Junior Brother Xuandu, you'll have to guide us more in the future!"
Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, his voice like a booming bell:
"Good! Good! Good!"
Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao also offered graceful bows, while Bi Xiao blinked her beautiful eyes, full of curiosity and excitement.
Kong Xuan also cupped his hands slightly towards Xuandu, a hint of solemnity in his multicolored eyes:
"Congratulations."
Xuandu bowed deeply to Sect Leader Tongtian once more:
"Disciple Xuandu thanks Master for his great kindness!"
"I will certainly do my utmost to cultivate the Great Dao and protect the sect!"
His voice was sonorous and resounding.
Sect Leader Tongtian nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Xuandu's declaration.
He flicked his sleeve, and a clear immortal light fell into Xuandu's hand.
It then transformed into a token engraved with the Dao text "Shang Qing."
"This is the Personal Disciple token. With this, you may freely enter and exit the forbidden areas outside Biyou Palace and receive the personal disciple's provisions."
"Regarding your residence, you may choose a spiritually rich location on any of the peaks outside Biyou Palace. Once established, report it to Duobao."
"Yes, Master!"
Xuandu respectfully took the token. He felt its warmth in his hand, a subtle resonance with his own magic power, and a trace of Jie Sect's Fortune lingering upon it.
Sect Leader Tongtian had made all the arrangements and said no more.
His gaze swept over Xuandu one last time, his deep eyes holding an unreadable meaning. Then, his form slowly faded and disappeared.
The sacred might completely dissipated, leaving only the exhilarating echo of the announcement in the heavens and earth, and the still fervent atmosphere on Golden Ao Island.
Xuandu held the Personal Disciple token, standing alone in the void, his robes gently fluttering in the residual spiritual breeze.
Below him were the gazes of thousands of Jie Sect disciples, looking up in admiration.
Beside him were fellow disciples, their powerful auras promising future renown throughout the Great Wilderness.
Daoist Duobao walked forward and patted Xuandu's shoulder, his tone tinged with emotion.
"Junior Brother Xuandu, congratulations. Master places great hope in you."
Xuandu composed himself and said solemnly:
"Xuandu will not fail Master's and Senior Brother's expectations."
Saint Mother Jinling, Saint Mother Wudang, and others also stepped forward, offering their congratulations again. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Zhao Gongming slung an arm around Xuandu and laughed.
"Let's go, let's go! Junior Brother Xuandu, today you've been promoted to Personal Disciple and brought great honor to our Jie Sect. We must celebrate properly!"
"Come to my Luofu Cave. I still have a few jars of treasured immortal brew!"
Bi Xiao chimed in excitedly.
"That's right! It's also a chance for Junior Brother Xuandu to taste Sister's Yun Xiao Immortal Dew!"
Xuandu felt the warmth of everyone's enthusiasm, his heart stirring, but he did not let himself be overwhelmed.
He cupped his hands and smiled.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gongming, and thank you all, Senior Brothers and Sisters, for your kind intentions."
"It's just that Junior Brother has only just broken through, his realm still needs to be stabilized, and his cave abode hasn't been chosen yet. There are many miscellaneous matters."
"Once Junior Brother settles down, I will prepare a modest banquet and invite all Senior Brothers and Sisters to gather. At that time, I will definitely have a good drink with Senior Brother Gongming!"
His words were sincere and the reasons were sufficient.
Zhao Gongming and the others heard this and did not insist, they all smiled and said:
"It should be so!"
"Then it's settled. When Junior Brother Xuandu's cave abode is completed, we will come to bother you again!"
After a few more pleasantries, all the Personal Disciples turned into streams of light and dispersed, returning to their respective cave abodes.
Xuandu stood in place and let out a long sigh of relief.
Today's events could be described as magnificent and turbulent.
From the condensation of the Three Flowers triggering anomalies, to the successive arrivals of Sages, to the verbal sparring with Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and finally being promoted to a Personal Disciple...
Every step was thrilling.
Fortunately, the final result far exceeded expectations.
Not only was his foundation thoroughly solidified, possessing the Chaos God Demon Pedigree and the cultivation of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak.
He also established prestige in front of the Jie Sect's Myriad Immortals and obtained the respected status of a Personal Disciple!
All of this paved the way for his next plan.
And at this moment, after the disciples below left, there was still one figure愣 in place.
It was none other than Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
Seeing this scene, a cold glint flashed in Xuandu's eyes.
Then he took a step forward and appeared before Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
