Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, The Saint Son Selection Begins
As the number of viewers increased, the number of comments in Ma Desheng's live stream skyrocketed.
"What sect is Cloud Heaven Sect? I've never heard of it before."
"This sect is completely unfamiliar to me; I can't even find its name on TikTok)."
Judging from the scale of the event, it's definitely not a third-rate cultivation sect; it's most likely a powerful sect from the New World.
"Tsk tsk, ever since Qian Duoduo defeated Ye Liang and won the position of candidate for Holy Son, every disciple of the sects who possesses a system wants to replicate this glory."
"That's obvious. Little effort, high reward. Who wouldn't want to become a Holy Son, thus elevating their status and gaining more Cultivation Resources?"
"The streamer is so confident in winning the title of Holy Son, but it's unclear whether he might unexpectedly fail."
"The chances of things going wrong are very low, unless there's another system host hiding in the shadows. The sect's group of cultivators at the same level simply can't defeat the system host."
Looking at the comments, Ma Desheng smiled warmly and spoke in the live stream using his Divine Sense:
"Fellow Daoists, I am the host Ma Desheng, inner disciple the Cloud Heaven Sect."
Our Cloud Heaven Sect is a top righteous sect in the Azure Mist Continent, and today the sect is about to begin the Holy Son Selection Ceremony.
In previous years, the position of Holy Son was won by cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root, but this year there are also seven Golden Core Realm cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root participating in the selection.
I also intend to compete for the position of Holy Son.
The reason we, who are not gifted with Heavenly Spirit Root, cannot compare to cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root is due to the limitations of our Spirit Root aptitude.
When everyone starts on the same footing, we will not be inferior to anyone.
In addition, I noticed two other people in the room who appeared to be system hosts; they should also be running for election.
This has introduced many variables into this selection of the Holy Son.
However, I will defeat everyone and seize the position of Holy Son. I invite all fellow Daoists to witness my ascension to the Holy Son's throne and my defying fate.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw encouraging messages popping up in the live chat, such as "Keep going, defy fate!" and "We cultivators with non- Heavenly Spirit Root are no less capable than others." His smile grew even wider.
He turned to look at another person who appeared to be a system host, secretly observing the other person's every move after he started broadcasting, to see if the other person realized that he was also a system host.
After observing secretly for a while, they did not notice anything unusual.
The man was so focused on the seven Golden Core Realm cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root that he was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Seeing this, he secretly felt relieved, it seemed that the other party had not realized that he was also a system host.
Gao Ming, on the other side, had no idea that someone was watching him from the shadows.
Lost in his own thoughts, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit, he was determined to defeat the seven Golden Core Realm cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root and seize the position of Holy Son.
A year ago, by fortuitous opportunity, Gao Ming was bound to the Fairness System and purchased Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root to change his cultivation aptitude.
From then on, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, successfully entering the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm. He condensed Seven-Pattern Golden Core, and his cultivation was no less than that of a cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root. His physical body and Primordial Spirit spirit were even more outstanding.
It's a pity that the system binding period is still short, otherwise his cultivation could have advanced even further, and at that time, crushing all the cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root would have been a piece of cake.
Even so, with his current strength, he is still fully confident that he can defeat everyone and ascend to the position of Holy Son.
Unless he's extremely unlucky and bumps into another system host, the position of Holy Son is already in his grasp.
The Fairness System has not yet spread to the Cloud Heaven Sect's sphere of influence, so there should be no sect disciple binding system.
He was bound to the system by fortuitous opportunity.
If he had missed that opportunity, he feared he would have had to wait a long time to obtain the system.
At that moment, Li Yunding, the sect leader of the Cloud Heaven Sect, spoke loudly:
"Today is the grand ceremony for selecting the Holy Son of my Cloud Heaven Sect..."
All Golden Core Realm cultivators are eligible to participate in the competition, and the ultimate winner will become the new Holy Son of our Cloud Heaven Sect.
The selection of the Holy Son now officially begins!
Everyone had been drowsy listening to the sect leader's long speech, but when they heard that the selection of the Holy Son had officially begun, they instantly perked up and all looked toward the arena, curious about who would be the first to step onto the stage.
Chen Yan sighed, "I never expected that the sect leader of a cultivation sect would speak in such a long and drawn-out manner, just like the leaders in my previous life."
"Yes, even though the world has changed, many bad habits remain the same. This long-winded explanation is full of empty talk; it almost made me sleepy," Wang Qiang nodded in agreement.
Zhong Yue scratched his head, full of doubt. "I think what that person said was very good. After listening to it, I felt excited and full of expectations for the future."
Wang Qiang looked helpless upon hearing this, but did not refute Zhong Yue.
These words were indeed very encouraging to the Great Wilderness Human Race, who were in dire straits and whose cultural and educational development was lagging behind.
"Perhaps we've heard it so often that it's become a bit tiresome."
Chen Yan changed the subject. "Aren't you planning to be the first to step onto the stage? And then sweep aside all the other geniuses and forcefully seize the position of Holy Son?"
"Hehe, the real masters always make their grand entrance last. I'll wait until everyone else has decided on the final winner before I step in and defeat them," Wang Qiang said with a confident smile.
At this moment, no one on the stage has yet stepped forward to fight.
Other Golden Core Realm cultivators of average talent knew perfectly well that they were no match for cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root.
Rushing onto the stage would only result in defeat, humiliation, or even injury, making it a completely unprofitable endeavor. Therefore, no one was willing to go on stage.
All eyes were on the seven Golden Core Realm cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root, waiting for them to take the stage.
Lin Tian glanced at the other six cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root and, seeing that they hadn't made a move, decided not to wait any longer.
He is now in the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm and has cultivated Seven-Pattern Golden Core. In terms of strength, he is among the top in the entire arena.
Instead of wasting time, it's better to take the stage first, crush your opponent, and intimidate the entire audience, deterring others from rashly accepting the challenge and saving yourself from a lot of entanglement.
With his mind made up, he leaped onto the arena, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena, a haughty expression on his face, and loudly proclaimed:
"Fellow disciples, is there anyone willing to come up on stage for a duel?"
After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, and no one dared to step onto the stage.
Lin Tian felt secretly pleased with himself, realizing that his strength was now sufficiently intimidating.
"Senior Brother Lin, I've come to learn from you." Huang Liang leaped up and landed on the arena, looking at Lin Tian with a solemn expression.
Lin Tian sized up his opponent. They were both at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm, but it was rumored that the other party had only condensed Six-Pattern Golden Core and had not yet reached the Seven-Pattern Golden Core.
"Junior Brother Huang, we are at the same cultivation level, but you are only Six-Pattern Golden Core cultivator, Non-Self. You should admit defeat quickly."
"Senior Brother Lin, the quality of Golden Core cannot completely determine combat strength; the outcome can only be determined through actual combat."
Huang Liang summoned his spirit blade and swung it at Lin Tian. He then quickly Hand Seals and cast a Law Technique, causing countless earth spikes to suddenly burst forth from the ground and strike directly at his opponent.
"That's just a trivial trick. Watch how I break the deadlock and win."
Lin Tian moved swiftly across the arena, dodging the earth spikes and using his sword to deflect the opponent's spirit blade. Thousands of Sword Qi swept towards Huang Liang, creating a devastating barrage.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
After eleven rounds of fighting, Huang Liang was finally cleaved to the ground by a single sword strike, rendering him unable to continue fighting.
Lin Tian stood proudly in the center of the arena and raised his voice again, asking, "Are there any fellow disciples who wish to come up and compete?"
