The Two Holy Sons

"Alright."

The dean broke the strange atmosphere in the hall. "Let's get back to business. Since Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian have both comprehended the True Essence of the Great Dao at the Dao Integration Realm, I propose that the two of them jointly become the Holy Sons of my Dao-Seeking Academy. Does anyone have any objections?"

When Bing Yan broke through to the Half-Saint Realm, the Dean's divine sense focused on the nine chief disciples and Xiao Chen, Cao Youqian, and others.

He had thought that two or three of the nine chief disciples would be able to comprehend the Dao, but to his utter surprise, only Lin Ming comprehended the True Essence of the Great Dao. On the contrary, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, these two little guys, brought him a huge surprise.

After some consideration, the dean decided to appoint both of them as Holy Sons of the Dao-Seeking Academy, which was not unprecedented.

We have no objection.

When Cao Youqian saw that all the bigwigs present had agreed, his eyes lit up. This was something he had never dreamed of.

"Thank you, Dean."

The two bowed to the dean.

"No need for thanks, this is what you deserve. Now that you have become the Holy Sons of my Dao-Seeking Academy, you two will have to shoulder the great responsibilities of my Dao-Seeking Academy in the future..."

The dean began a lengthy discourse, then paused for a long time before saying, "I have decided that your Holy Son's celebration will be held in six months, and all forces, large and small, will be invited to attend."

Upon hearing this, everyone present shouted, "The Dean is wise!"

The meeting ended, and everyone present left.

As soon as Chu Feng and his two companions returned to Miaomiao Mountain, Nie Xiuyuan took the initiative to greet them.

"Disciple greets Master and Senior Brothers."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Have you come to bid me farewell?"

Nie Xiuyuan nodded. "Indeed, now that there is nothing more to do in the mountains, this disciple wishes to settle our grudges as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian subconsciously asked, "Senior brother, could you perhaps be that adulterous couple?"

"Good."

Nie Xiuyuan said quite frankly.

His story wasn't a secret at the Dao-Seeking Academy. If someone had brought it up to his face before, he would have been emotionally affected, but now he had let it go.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "Senior Brother Nie, could we wait another six months? I'd like to go with you."

Cao Youqian chimed in, "That's what I think too. Our Miscellaneous Dao Institute is known for its brotherly harmony, so naturally we should go together for this kind of thing, and make those two scoundrels regret it immensely."

Nie Xiuyuan felt a warmth in his heart. He could tell that his two fellow disciples genuinely wanted to help him, and it would seem out of place to refuse their kindness.

"Yes, but I'd like to ask what urgent matter you two senior brothers have that requires you to wait at least six months before taking action."

The two did not respond, but instead turned their attention to Chu Feng.

"These two lads have been designated as Holy Sons by the Dean, and a Holy Son Ceremony will be held for them," Chu Feng said unhurriedly.

"Xiuyuan, Senior Brothers!"

Nie Xiuyuan offered his congratulations with a beaming smile.

"Unexpected good fortune is nothing to mention. Your matter is more important, Senior Brother. In the next six months, let's investigate the current situation of that adulterous couple." Cao Youqian quickly shifted the topic to Nie Xiuyuan.

Nie Xiuyuan: "Okay."

In less than three days, the news that Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian had become the Holy Sons of the Dao-Seeking Academy spread throughout most of the Profound Heaven Continent.

This news shocked the world. The holy sons of Great Sage were Nirvana cultivators. Could it be that these two had secretly become Nirvana experts?

In the Great Liang Kingdom, the morning court session begins.

The King of the Liang Kingdom sat lazily on his dragon throne, listening to his ministers arguing below.

Report!!!

A loud noise interrupted the argument inside the hall, and everyone present looked out.

A messenger knelt outside the main hall and respectfully announced, "Your Majesty, it is an urgent matter! A decree has been issued from the Holy Land!"

Upon hearing this, the King of the Liang Kingdom hurriedly said to the chief eunuch beside him, "Quickly, quickly set up the incense burner to welcome the imperial edict."

"Promise."

After the head eunuch responded, he shouted into the hall, "Set up the incense burner and welcome the imperial edict!"

Upon hearing the imperial decree, the high-ranking officials of the Liang Kingdom completely forgot what they had been arguing about and turned their attention to Prince Ding.

At this moment, Prince Ding was filled with unease. Although Xiao Chen was his son, Xiao Chen had a bad relationship with the Prince Ding's Estate. If it weren't for his beloved concubine, he would probably have been expelled from the Great Liang long ago. Fortunately, after more than ten years of hard work, he finally got his beloved concubine to give birth to a little princess.

A short while later, the King of the Liang Kingdom personally received the imperial edict and, with trembling hands, read its contents aloud.

After he finished reading, the entire palace fell silent, but soon a burst of cheers erupted again.

"A holy son has emerged from the Liang Kingdom!"

"A holy son has emerged from the Liang Kingdom!"

"..."

The news quickly reached the Prince Ding's Estate. The former Consort Xiao, now the Princess, was so excited when she heard that Xiao Chen had become the Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy that she burst into tears.

It has been almost twenty years since she last parted ways with Chen'er. During that time, she has received quite a few messages about Chen'er, but this message made her the happiest.

A three-year-old girl standing nearby saw her mother crying, reached out her chubby little hand to wipe away her tears, and comforted her, "Mommy, don't cry, Xi'er me blow on it."

The princess smiled and said, "Mother isn't crying, she's just happy. Xi'er will be able to see her eldest brother soon."

"Really?"

The little guy immediately smiled happily upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, within the Cloud Mist Sect.

Along with the message from the Dao-Seeking Academy, a marriage certificate also arrived.

After reading the marriage certificate and message in his hand, the head of the Song Clan family roared to the sky, "Hahaha... My son-in-law from the Song Clan family has become a Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy!!!"

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the Dao-Seeking Academy was much quieter.

The Ceremony of the Holy Son was carried out by the servants and deacons of the Internal Affairs Hall, while all nine chief priests chose to go into seclusion.

Lin Ming broke through to the Half-Saint Realm after seven days of seclusion, but his breakthrough did not cause much of a stir at the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Following his breakthrough, the other eight chief masters also broke through one after another before the Holy Son Ceremony.

Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Fang Mu was the first to break through to the First Level of Dao Integration and became the fourth elder of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. In addition to Nie Xiuyuan, Qin Qin and Wang Baole had also received their elder identity tokens before.

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian already held the status of Holy Sons, on par with the Ten Chiefs, and therefore no longer needed to hold the position of Elder.

Han Ping also broke through the Third Level of Spirit Nurturing and continued to carry forward his path of farming and cultivation.

Half a year is about to pass, and there are less than seven days left until Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian's Holy Son Celebration.

Dao-Seeking City, all the large and small forces that came to witness the ceremony had already filled all the inns and other lodgings.

Two weary figures were asking for directions in the Dao-Seeking City, seeking information on how to reach Dao-Seeking Academy. Following directions from passersby, they set off towards the Dao-Seeking Academy Dao-Seeking Academy gates...
