749: Congratulations from all directions!

Not only him, but even White Cloud Master, who had personally promoted Yao Delong, was completely stunned at this moment!

His hand stroking his beard froze in mid-air, the smile on his Face solidified, and his eyes held nothing but incomparable shock!

"I know about the Yin Yang Origin... but this Five Elements Origin... when... when did it become so pure and profound?! This kid... just how many trump cards is he hiding?!"

A monstrous wave surged in his heart.

It was White Cloud Master who first recovered from the extreme shock, forcibly suppressing his churning emotions.

This was the critical moment of establishing the Saint, he could not afford to lose his composure! He spoke aloud, his voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling, forcibly drowning out the deathly silence of the entire venue:

"The... the ceremony is complete! An auspicious sign! This is a sign of the Ancestral Master's approval and the favor of Heaven and Earth!" He quickly took the ancient seal handed to him by an Elder nearby.

"Saint Yao Delong, come forward to receive the seal!"

The pillar of light slowly dissipated, and the heaven-shaking Yin Yang and Five Elements phenomenon also retracted into his body.

Yao Delong returned to a state of calm, as if the shocking scene just now had never happened.

He walked with steady steps to White Cloud Master and respectfully received the seal with both hands.

The seal felt warm and smooth in his hand, neither gold nor jade, seemingly refined from ten-thousand-year Soul-Nurturing Wood fused with Star Tears, with the mysterious "Yin Yang Saint" rune carved upon it.

Yao Delong swept his Divine Sense over it and knew that this item was a precious auxiliary Dao Artifact!

Its core functions: first, to protect the Primordial Spirit, capable of resisting powerful Divine Sense attacks and Heart Demon erosion;

Second, to assist in the comprehension of Laws; holding this seal allows one to perceive the veins of the Laws between Heaven and Earth more clearly!

This would be of great benefit to his cultivation of the Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture!

Holding the Saint seal, Yao Delong's heart surged with emotion. Facing the image of the Ancestral Master and the vast sky, he swore an oath aloud, his voice like a great bell, resounding through the clouds, carrying an unquestionable majesty and determination:

"Disciple Yao Delong, today I inherit the Yin Yang lineage and receive the Saint seal! I hereby swear an oath!"

"I shall take it as my duty to glorify the Sect, protect my fellow Disciples, and pass down the Dao methods!"

"I shall make it my great aspiration to protect the common people, slay demons, and uphold the Righteous Path!"

"If I violate this oath, may my dao foundation collapse, my Divine Soul be utterly destroyed, and may Heaven and Earth judge me together!"

Boom! Crack! As the oath fell, it seemed to touch upon the rules of the netherworld!

Above the sky, suddenly, purple Qi surged for three thousand miles, rolling in from the east, with ten thousand rays of rosy light!

On the square, golden lotuses surged, appearing out of thin air, blooming one after another, emitting a pure and fragrant dao rhyme! Immortal music resounded from the void, and an Aura of auspiciousness filled the world!

This was triggered by the Sect's grand formation, symbolizing the recognition of the Saint's oath by the Luck of Heaven and Earth!

At this moment, Yao Delong's figure, set against the purple Qi and golden lotuses, appeared even more sacred and majestic!

White Cloud Master was so excited his old Face turned red, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens: "The ceremony is complete! The Saint has returned to his position!"

"Greetings to the Saint—!"

Led by the various Peak Masters and Elders, all the Yin Yang Sect Disciples in the square, whether Inner Sect or Outer Sect, were fanatical and respectful in their expressions. They all knelt on one knee in unison, bowing their heads like a tidal wave, emitting a deafening sound of worship that shot straight into the clouds!

The waves of sound gathered, shaking the mountains and rivers, declaring the birth of the Yin Yang Sect's new generation leader!

The main banquet of the ceremony officially began!

Melodious and grand immortal music played. The prepared attendants, like butterflies flitting through flowers, served various rare fruits such as thousand-year Vermilion Fruits, ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus Dew, delicacies containing pure Spiritual Qi, and immortal nectar and jade liquid, sending them to each table like a flowing stream.

There were also graceful female cultivators of the Sect who, using Dao methods, danced lightly in the air. As their Sword Qi crisscrossed, it transformed into a brilliant sword dance, breathtakingly beautiful.

As the new Saint, Yao Delong was seated in the seat of honor right next to the Sect Head, White Cloud Master.

Just as he sat down, he saw a burly and upright figure, carrying an uninhibited Aura, walking over with large strides. It was none other than the Moyang Sect Saint—Kuang Wutian!

"Hahaha! Brother Yao! Congratulations! Congratulations!" Kuang Wutian's voice was like a great bell, his Face filled with sincere and hearty laughter as he cupped his hands toward Yao Delong,

"It feels like only yesterday since we parted at the Pill Venerable Secret Realm! I didn't expect that we would meet again at your grand ceremony of ascending to Saint! This setup, this Aura! Tsk tsk, even I, a Saint, am quite envious!" His tone was familiar, clearly indicating that his friendship with Yao Delong was not shallow.

Seeing an old friend, Yao Delong also showed a sincere smile and raised the crystal-clear jade cup on the table: "Brother Kuang! You have been well! Your demeanor is even better than before, please take a seat!"

He personally poured a cup of Spiritual wine for Kuang Wutian, "The day we fought together in the Secret Realm is still vivid in my memory. Today, upon our reunion, we must drink to our hearts' content!"

The two clinked cups and drank them in one gulp. This scene fell into the eyes of the surrounding crowd, especially the high-level officials and Disciples of the Yin Yang Sect, causing waves in their hearts!

"His Highness the Saint... actually calls the Moyang Sect Saint 'brother'? Is their relationship so close?"

"It seems that the Saint not only has talent and strength that surpasses the current generation, but his connections and social skills are also unfathomable!"

"Hiss... that is Kuang Wutian! The Moyang Sect's famous fighting maniac and cultivation fanatic! Except for their Sect Head, he gives Face to no one! How can he be so enthusiastic and familiar with His Highness the Saint?" An Inner Sect Elder twisted his beard, his Face full of disbelief.

More Disciples' eyes flashed with fanatical light, and their awe of Yao Delong deepened. Disciples from other factions also whispered to each other, filled with curiosity and shock.

The melodious immortal music paused, and the Ceremonial Officer's loud and penetrating voice resounded through the square: "The auspicious time has arrived, ten thousand directions come to congratulate! Please, everyone, offer your congratulations to the Saint!"

This was the most core part of the ceremony, and the one that best reflected the strength and attitude of all parties!

Each congratulatory gift was not just a treasure, but a bet on this rising star, Yao Delong; it was an invisible contest of strength between factions!

The priceless congratulatory gifts would be announced and displayed in public, adding glory to the givers and highlighting the heart-trembling connections and energy behind the Saint!

According to the seating Rank, starting from small and medium factions: "The Heavenly Wind City Lord's Mansion presents one Medium Grade Heaven-Grade Weapon, the 'Flowing Wind Battle Armor'! Ten drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Marrow!"

"The Hundred Herbs Pavilion presents one 'Soul Returning Pill'! Three bottles of 'Life-Generating Creation Pill'!"

"The Profound Mystery Pavilion presents one rubbing of the ancient formation map fragment, 'Starry Maze'! Nine Spatial Formation Plates!"

"The Flowing Cloud Villa presents..."

...One by one, Heaven-Grade Weapons, rare spiritual materials, precious medicines, and secret manuals, which were enough to cause bloody storms in the outside world, were presented. They shone with light, their Spiritual Qi overwhelming.

However, for Yao Delong, who was already at the Void Refinement Mid-stage and possessed the creation dao artifact taixu primordial spirit crown, while these gifts were valuable, they were merely icing on the cake, just a gesture of goodwill.

He maintained a proper smile throughout, nodding to each gift-giver. That composed demeanor made him appear even more unfathomable.

Finally, it was the turn of Myriad Sword Valley, one of the four top immortal Sects of the Eastern Region!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Myriad Sword Valley Master Li Wangsheng and the person beside him, the Master of the Hidden Sword Hall—Li Canglan, whose Aura was as sharp as a drawn divine sword.
