Chapter 1904
Seeing the real person again now, all the toil and hardship seem to have found their home.
However, unlike Chen Xuan's gentleness, the gazes of the five holy sons suddenly turned sharp when they fell on Qiu Zixian.
In particular, Cang Xuan Yue, Liu Li, and Xuan Hao stood up directly from the futon, their auras fluctuating uncontrollably, causing ripples in the surrounding spiritual energy.
“Xia Jiuyou…” someone murmured softly, their tone filled with disbelief.
These five Holy Sons are all veteran disciples, and during their tenure, they repeatedly led teams to prevent their junior brothers and sisters from entering the Land of Fallen Gods and the battlefield of the Ancient Immortal Relics.
Each time the secret realm opens, the holy sons of the ten holy lands lead their second-generation disciples to compete for it. The Heartless Holy Land and the Nine Nether Holy Land have clashed three or four times. Each time, the Heartless Holy Land suffered a crushing defeat. Not only were their ancient treasures stolen, but many of their disciples were also mocked by Xia Jiuyou of the Nine Nether Holy Land for practicing the three paths of demonic cultivation, causing them to lose face.
Now, this arch-enemy has actually appeared in the main hall of the Heartless Holy Land, and even disguised himself as a new disciple to participate in the initiation ceremony. How can the five holy sons sit still?
If it weren't for the presence of elders, worshippers, and even the sect leader in the hall, they probably would have already rushed forward.
This intense hostility was clearly felt even by core disciples like Huang Daoji—the desire to kill someone is never hidden in the eyes. Many new disciples subconsciously took a step back, their eyes filled with fear.
Qiu Zixian, however, was not afraid at all. She met the gazes of the five holy sons and glared back directly, sneering inwardly: What do your grudges with Xia Jiuyou have to do with me, Qiu Zixian? If you want to take your anger out on me, you've picked the wrong person!
Chen Xuan noticed her tension and took her hand in his. The warmth from his fingertips conveyed a silent reassurance that he was there for her.
Then, he looked up at the five holy sons, his eyes filled with contempt—they were just a few guys who had been beaten into submission by their nemesis, yet they dared to act so presumptuously in the main hall.
This scene, witnessed by those who knew the inside story, including Jue Wuqing and Lanxing Zhenxian, elicited helpless shakes of their heads.
Although Jue Wuqing only descended as an avatar this time, it was still a rare occurrence in thousands of years. According to past practice, the presiding person of the public disciple-acceptance ceremony is usually one of the top three elders. This time, he personally took charge, intending to keep the scene in check, but unexpectedly, such a "troublemaker" still appeared.
"These two little rascals are really audacious." Jue Wuqing transmitted his voice to the Star-Gazing Immortal beside him, his tone tinged with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "With us here to keep watch, they still dare to be so confrontational. If there were no restraint, they would probably start fighting right here and now."
"They're just young and impetuous, they do have a bit of us back in the day." A white-haired elder chuckled and transmitted his voice, his gaze falling on Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian with admiration. "It's good to have drive, it's better than being lifeless."
Jue Wuqing nodded slightly, then changed the subject and sent a telepathic message to the other elders: "By the way, do you have any disciples you've taken a liking to? Shang Yu is from the Shang Yue clan, and Bai Lingfei is from the Bai Long clan. You all know their backgrounds. Chen Xuan has already designated them to join the Lanxing sect. Judging from the situation, Qiu Zixian will probably also join the Lanxing lineage."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the fourteen core disciples, including Yu'er, and he slowly introduced them: "Qingtian Yu'er, Zhanxin, Lin Yuyao, and Tianxing are skilled in the path of gods and demons and the Great Dao of Slaughter. Their divine bodies possess remarkable aptitude, and with a little training, they will become pillars of society."
After saying this, he looked at the core disciples, including Zi Mo, Piao Xue, and Huang Daoji, and said, "Huang Daoji is skilled in the deduction of the Great Dao, Piao Xue is proficient in the spells of the Great Dao, and Zi Mo is quite accomplished in the Great Dao of Array Formations. I saw the recording, and she managed to withstand the siege of three core disciples for a long time without being defeated by the Great Array Formation. Her ability to reach this point is enough to prove that her talent in the Dao of Array Formations far surpasses that of ordinary people."
As soon as the words were spoken, several elders began to consider the matter. One of the elders, a burly man, spoke first: "My disciples are all skilled in close combat against gods and demons. A few brats complain every day that there isn't a single junior sister in my lineage. Why not bring Qing Tian Yu'er under my wing? That might help them to behave themselves."
"Haha, my condition is similar to yours. In that case, young lady Lin Yuyao, why don't you become my disciple? I happen to be lacking a female disciple skilled in the Dao of Slaughter." Another elder chimed in with a laugh.
"Piaoxue has a good talent in the art of formations, which is in line with my focus on the Great Dao, so she is mine."
A middle-aged woman dressed in a Bagua robe gently gazed at Zi Mo. Zi Mo stood in the crowd, her expression reserved, as quiet as an orchid, yet her spiritual aura was undeniable. "I am skilled in the Great Dao of Array Formations. The appearance of this little girl, Zi Mo, has relieved me of a worry. I will make her my fourth disciple. No one will try to take her away, will they?"
Of the ten elders and eight grand masters, only this one is skilled in formations. Who would want to take Zi Mo away?
The group exchanged smiles and shook their heads.
“I specialize in immortal energy and combat techniques. The immortal energy of Tianxing and Zhanxin is quite extraordinary, so they have come under my wing.” A middle-aged man dressed in scale armor said, and couldn’t help but glance at Chen Xuan again. Among all the new disciples, apart from Shang Yu and Bai Lingfei, the immortal energy of Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian was the most profound. It was just a pity that the two had already been reserved by Lanxing, so he could only settle for second best.
In a short while, the identities of the fourteen core disciples and four personal disciples were determined.
Following the elders' guidance, Chen Xuan and the others approached the ancestral tablets one by one, holding incense sticks and respectfully kneeling in worship. Amidst the swirling incense smoke, the air seemed to be imbued with a deeper connection to the sect's bloodline.
After the ceremony, Jue Wuqing's voice rang out again, majestic and solemn: "You all entered the realm of Void Reversal. Even if you came from humble backgrounds, it is enough to prove your talent and perseverance. From today onwards, you are part of the Jue Wuqing Holy Land. You must make a heavenly oath before the ancestral tablets of all generations."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and a golden hieroglyphic script appeared in the void. It was the Heavenly Oath for becoming a formal disciple of the Heartless Holy Land.
Chen Xuan and the others stared intently, all secretly marveling – the content of this oath was far more lenient than the oath of the Nine Heavens Xuanqing Palace on Xuanxiao Star, fully demonstrating the grandeur and confidence of a top-tier holy land.
