Sect Grand Ceremony!

Inside the teleportation tower array outside the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

Wow!

Zhou Hao, clad in black, appeared out of thin air.

Since Yu Tiandu and Lin Xia'er were both returning to the East Yu Capital Continent, Zhou Hao parted ways with them in front of the teleportation tower array in the Northern Xiulu Continent and teleported back himself.

Brush!

Amidst the spatial ripples, Zhou Hao teleported directly back to his underground residence, a quiet room.

This trip to the Northern Xiulu Continent has filled him with anticipation for the power of his Second Primordial Spirit's natal magic treasure, the ' Saha Treasure Tree,' and its potential assistance in his future comprehension of the Great Dao of Time.

It should be understood that the memories and thoughts of the main body and the Second Primordial Spirit are completely interconnected.

The profound mysteries of the Dao comprehended by the Second Primordial Spirit are no different from those comprehended by the original body itself.

The convenience of having two primordial spirits cultivate together and comprehend different Great Daos is unimaginable.

Time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

"Clang~~~Clang~~~Clang~~~"

The magnificent bell tolled, resounding throughout the twelve inner sects of the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

Auspicious clouds rose from the peaks.

Above them were the abbots of each peak, the elders of the primordial spirit realm, and the true disciples and inner disciples who remained in the sect, all flying towards the sect's main peak, ' Profound Pole Peak '.

At the summit of Profound Pole Peak, which stands 9,999 feet tall, the majestic Profound Heaven Palace casts a dazzling golden light across the surrounding void.

On countless auspicious clouds drifting in from all directions, bathed in light, stood immortal cultivators, their robes fluttering and their bodies gleaming gold.

At first glance, it looks as if the Heavenly Emperor has ascended to the Heavenly Palace, and all the immortals have come to pay homage.

Profound Heaven Palace.

At the very top, high up, golden clouds and mist swirled.

Whether they were Void Return Immortals or Primordial Spirit Elders, upon entering the main hall, they felt an invisible pressure emanating from the golden clouds. To the naked eye, they could only see a hazy expanse, with four figures vaguely seated high within the clouds.

The sect leader Immortal Feng Yu, stood respectfully on the steps below the clouds.

Everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath.

For the sect leader to show such respect, it must be because a celestial ancestor from the sect has descended upon us.

The head immortals and elders of each lineage, along with the disciples of each peak, respectfully bowed to the clouds above, and then stood solemnly on both sides of the main hall according to their respective lineage ranks.

The entire hall was solemn and dignified.

Privately, hundreds of inner disciples, and even some young Nascent Soul elders, couldn't help but secretly communicate their excitement.

"Heavens! Four Celestial Ancestors!"

"I've never seen a celestial being before."

"Normally, even the most prestigious sects and clans only need one Celestial Immortal Ancestor to thrive for countless eons, yet our Mysterious Heaven Sect has four!"

"You think our sect only has four Celestial Immortal Ancestors? Have you forgotten that our inner sect has twelve lineages!"

Whether it's a sect or a tribe, it's still a force.

Although the nominal leader of the sect wields considerable power, he pales in comparison to the Celestial Ancestor behind the scenes.

These celestial ancestors who have lived for countless billions of years are the foundation of a power.

Every time a celestial being is born, the entire faction rejoices and celebrates wildly.

However, the death of each Celestial Ancestor is concealed as much as possible.

Therefore, the exact number of Celestial Immortals within the sect is uncertain.

Even Immortal Feng Yu, the sect leader, only knew that in the Profound Heaven Realm, besides Patriarch Mu Yang, there were two other Celestial Ancestors living in seclusion.

At this moment, all three Celestial Immortal Ancestors appeared at Zhou Hao's ceremony to become a True Disciple, and even the Left King of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Mang Zuo, came...

Upon receiving the news, Immortal Feng Yu could only marvel. As expected of a prodigy favored by the Xuanwu Great Emperor, he had received immense respect!

Not only was Immortal Feng Yu amazed, but the other Void Return Immortals, Primordial Spirit Elders, and even the disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm all turned their gazes to Zhou Hao, who was standing in the center of the hall.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of immortal cultivators in the entire hall, Zhou Hao, dressed in a blue robe, stood there calmly and composed.

Patriarch Mu Yang sat at the highest point, his original coarse cloth clothes replaced by a golden Daoist robe. The golden light surrounding him was like the rising Solar Star in the morning, capable of piercing the darkness but not scorching, his gentle and restrained aura like a bottomless pool.

Beside him, in a slightly lower position, were three celestial beings.

No matter how powerful they were in their respective families, just by having Patriarch Mu Yang sit there, these three Celestial Immortals would all restrain their auras and dare not overstep their bounds in the slightest.

"Senior Brother Mu Yang, you've kept this from me for so long!" Left King Xia Mang Zuo, dressed in a patterned yellow robe, looked at Patriarch Mu Yang and sighed, "If we hadn't received the message from the Yinglong Great World yesterday, how long did you intend to keep your achievement of Pure Yang a secret from us?"

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

"Why did you keep this from us too?"

The patriarchs of the Yu Clan and Liang Clan, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

"If it weren't for my master's summons, I wouldn't have been willing to take action either." Patriarch Mu Yang shook his head. "Only by hiding deep can one live long..."

"Senior Brother Mu Yang, is this turmoil really that great? Even you, a Pure Yang True Immortal, are not confident you can weather it?" Left King was shocked, and the Yu Clan Ancestor and Liang Clan Ancestor couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Seventeen years ago, the Underworld was suddenly attacked, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation collapsed and were destroyed. The Three Realms were shaken," Patriarch Mu Yang said in a deep voice.

"The Underworld is the destination for souls from Three Realms. How important is it? The Ten Kings of Hell and Lord Cui are all Pure Yang True Immortal, and the Earth Treasury Bodhisattva also guards it with three thousand Dharma Jialan. Its defenses are so formidable that no other world can compare."

"But they were attacked and had no power to resist. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were destroyed in a very short time. Even Master Dao Ancestor Yinglong and the others couldn't find out who destroyed it or which side these powerful figures belonged to. How much turmoil do you think will happen in the future?"

"Then what about my Xia Clan Great World?" The Left King's eyes held deep worry.

The Xia Emperor left the Xia Clan Great World more than ten years ago and has not returned since.

If I hadn't received this information that Senior Brother Mu Yang had made a move in the Yinglong Great World and been confirmed as a Pure Yang True Immortal, I wouldn't have left the Xia Emperor's capital to come and offer my congratulations.

Hearing what Patriarch Mu Yang said, Left King and the other two Celestial Ancestors felt a chill in their hearts.

It is important to understand that a great upheaval in the Three Realms is extremely terrifying.

Although they, as celestial beings, are incredibly powerful and noble in the face of the Void Return of primordial spirit, they are nothing more than pawns and cannon fodder in the face of true turmoil.

"Xia Emperor inherits the bloodline of the Xia Clan, the royal family of the ancient Pangu World, and unified this great world long ago, managing it for countless eons. With the support of Dao Ancestors Crimson Bright and Yinglong, its fortune ranks among the top in the three thousand great worlds. Even if there is a major upheaval, it won't affect this world immediately," said Patriarch Mu Yang. "Xia Emperor is a man of great talent and strategy; having survived from the ancient world to the present, he must have strategies. We only need to assist him diligently."

Left King, and the two patriarchs of the Liang Clan and Yu Clan all nodded in agreement.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Profound Heaven Palace were already in position, and Zhou Hao also stood in the center of the main hall.

The gazes of Patriarch Mu Yang and the three Celestial Immortals also fell upon the calm-looking young man below.

"Truly, when turmoil is about to occur, an unparalleled hero will emerge," Left King exclaimed. "The Xuanwu Great Divine Ability is among the top one hundred of all the Mysterious Heaven Sect."

The other two Celestial Ancestors also nodded, their gazes towards Zhou Hao filled with astonishment.

They had only come from their respective families after receiving news that Patriarch Mu Yang had achieved Pure Yang, but then they heard that Patriarch Mu Yang was going to descend upon this sect's grand ceremony.

Why would a mere promotion ceremony for a true disciple alarm this Pure Yang True Immortal?

Under the persistent questioning of the three celestial beings, Patriarch Mu Yang no longer concealed anything.

Only then did the three of them learn that Zhou Hao actually possessed the ' Xuanwu Great Divine Ability ' inheritance.

The Xuanwu Great Divine Ability is the signature divine power of the Dao Ancestor ' Xuanwu Great Emperor '. He relied on it to roam the Three Realms and was already a hegemon in the ancient world. He was definitely an extremely terrifying great power.

Top-tier supernatural powers like the ' Xuanwu Great Divine Ability ' cannot be recorded in a single book.

There must be a special method of inheritance, perhaps even taught personally by the Xuanwu Great Emperor!

Therefore, although Zhou Hao is currently only a Myriad Phenomena of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, he will definitely be a personal disciple of the Xuanwu Great Emperor in the future.

A powerful figure, and a direct disciple of a regional overlord!

This is the identity that even celestial beings like them dream of.

It's easy to imagine how horrified the three of them were upon hearing this news.

"This little fellow probably doesn't know yet, so don't reveal it to him," Patriarch Mu Yang said with a smile. "Xuanwu Great Emperor is of such high status that he hasn't directly accepted a disciple. There must still be tests waiting for him. If we interfere, it might backfire."

"Alright." The three celestial beings all nodded in agreement.

Not interfering doesn't mean you can't sell well.

The direct disciples of such powerful figures are all peerless experts who are renowned Three Realms.

If we don't cultivate a good relationship with Zhou Hao now while he's still relatively weak, we might not have the chance to do so again later, even if we try to get closer to him.

Patriarch Mu Yang smiled slightly, said nothing more, and instructed the people standing solemnly in the hall, "Let's begin."

How could he not see what the three celestial beings beside him were thinking?

However, this is also Zhou Hao's destiny, so there's no need to stop him entirely.

What is fortune?

To be chosen by a powerful being like the Xuanwu Great Emperor to be his future personal disciple.

Even without announcing it to the Three Realms, the Celestial Immortals and Pure Yang Celestial Immortals who recognize the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability will secretly assist them. Whether in cultivation or encountering danger while adventuring, they often receive divine help, which is a sign of great fortune.

Let's begin.

A gentle voice emanated from the golden clouds, echoing throughout the Profound Heaven Palace.

Immortal Feng Yu bowed respectfully, then turned to look at the entire hall.

"I have gathered you all here today because there is a joyous occasion for my Mysterious Heaven Sect." Immortal Feng Yu looked at Zhou Hao, who was standing in the center of the hall. "From today onwards, Zhou Hao will be the fourth true disciple of this generation of my Mysterious Heaven Sect."

All eyes were on Zhou Hao.

"Zhou Hao, from this day forward you are a true disciple of my Mysterious Heaven Sect. I hope you will work with your fellow disciples to pass on the Mysterious Heaven Sect and protect the Mysterious Heaven Sect's lineage!" Immortal Feng Yu smiled as he looked down.

"I hereby bestow upon you the purple robe and jade belt, and the purple-gold token, as a true disciple."

"You are granted thirty outer disciple trial slots for your Jade Dragon Peak within the next hundred years."

"You are granted a peak to stand alone in the sect, revered by all inner disciples."

With a wave of his hand, Immortal Feng Yu sent a beam of purple light flying directly towards Zhou Hao.

Wow~~~

A purple light enveloped Zhou Hao, quickly revealing him wearing a purple robe and a jade belt around his waist.

"A true disciple, when will I ever become a true disciple in this lifetime, wearing a purple robe and jade belt?"

At this moment, countless inner disciples whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with envy.

Wearing a purple robe and jade belt, this honor was reserved for officials of the third rank or above in the Xia Clan Great World.

Within the Mysterious Heaven Sect, only true disciples are qualified to wear such attire during important events such as sect ceremonies.

This is a symbol of status, representing the leader of this generation of disciples!

Zhou Hao bowed respectfully to the sect leader and the four figures in the golden clouds behind him, and said, "From now on, this disciple will do everything in his power to protect the lineage of my Mysterious Heaven Sect!"

At this time--

"Zhou Hao, the true disciple."

A gentle yet authoritative voice suddenly emanated from the golden clouds above the main hall.

"I am here with three celestial beings to witness the ceremony, and we have also received some gifts."

"I hereby bestow upon you one Daoist talisman, one secret technique, nine immortal-grade pills, and one 'Inspector' token of the Yinglong Guard."

Wow~~~

Four golden beams shot out from the clouds and flew directly toward Zhou Hao, leaving everyone stunned.

I forgot I had to accompany my child to tutoring classes this afternoon...

Chapter Three will be very late, possibly after midnight.

However, I should be able to finish writing it.

We're heading back to the Xia Clan Great World soon.

Thank you to my friend 'Navy Blue with Light Sky Blue' for the 10,000 points!

I bow in gratitude to the Suifeng!
