191: Chu Ying became the Holy Son of Tianxuan?
“Revered Master, Young Master Chu’s integration of the Three Holy Lands’ inheritances was unintentional. This Disciple received a life-saving grace from Young Master Chu and he escorted me all the way. Please, Revered Master, you must find a way to protect Young Master Chu…”
Amidst the crowd, Qiu Lingsu anxiously spoke with the beautiful woman, her clear, sorrowful eyes filled with worry.
The beautiful woman’s expression held a strange glint, and she transmitted her voice with a teasing smile:
“Ling’er, you seem a little too concerned about this Young Master?”
“Revered Master, I…” Qiu Lingsu’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lip, but she simply couldn’t bear to see Chu Ying being pressured by the Cultivators of the Three Holy Lands.
These Three Great Sacred Grounds even had Old Ancestors present, so they definitely harbored ill intentions. If Chu Ying intervened, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Thinking of this, her expression became resolute, and she said with a determined look:
“Please, Revered Master, you must think of a way… If Young Master Chu meets with misfortune in Tianxuan, I’m afraid this Disciple will…”
Hearing her speak to this point, the beautiful woman interrupted with a smile, saying, “Oh, you, you! This Young Master Chu is the Consort of the Immortal Tomb. Do you think the people of the Three Holy Lands would really dare to touch him?”
“But Ling’er, you wouldn’t have fallen for this Young Master Chu, would you? If he’s in trouble, you’d follow him?” The beautiful woman smiled ambiguously, though she had already confirmed it in her heart.
“Revered Master!”
Her secret thoughts exposed, Qiu Lingsu’s face instantly flushed to her earlobes. But hearing the beautiful woman say this, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
It made sense upon reflection; would the Three Holy Lands dare to provoke the Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum?
The beautiful woman immediately told Saint Lord Li Yong, who was also her husband, about her discovery and thoughts.
Upon learning of this, Li Yong’s eyes flickered. In just a moment, he secretly communicated with the Old Ancestor and came up with a brilliant idea.
Hence.
This led to Ancestor Changkong, a Half-Step Great Saint of Tianxuan, strongly protecting Chu Ying.
…
“Thank you, Senior.”
Chu Ying cupped his hands in a salute towards Ancestor Changkong of Tianxuan.
“If Ancestor Changkong wishes to protect this Little Friend Chu, then hand over the Tianxuan Sutra, and we will absolutely not make things difficult for Little Friend Chu.”
The Old Ancestor Yuheng’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke, his expression turning sinister.
Everyone’s eyelids twitched, feeling somewhat speechless.
It seemed the Tianxuan Laozu was right; the Three Holy Lands’ goal was the Tianxuan Sutra. Everything else didn’t matter as much, including their own inheritances.
But this also made them even more curious about the Big Dipper lineage’s inheritance.
As it stood, the cultivation method of a single Big Dipper Holy Land was indeed a high-level inheritance, but it didn’t seem to have too many outstanding features.
For instance, the Shake Light Holy Land in the Southern Domain possessed the Shaking Light Scripture, but no one would mention the Shaking Light Scripture because it couldn't compare to the Luo Writing of the Tianchu Luo Family.
The Tianxuan Sutra of the Tianxuan Holy Land followed the same logic; compared to the Nuwa Dao Scripture of the Archaic Feng Family, it was far inferior.
Perhaps, the cultivation methods among the Seven Great Holy Lands held a secret.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Ancestor Changkong sneered, extremely forceful.
“So, Ancestor Changkong is insistent? You want to protect an outsider, but you’re unwilling to hand over the Tianxuan Sutra?”
The Old Ancestor Yuheng’s gaze was chilling, and the auras of the other Three Great Sacred Grounds’ Old Ancestors surged.
They had come here fully prepared and would not rest until their goal was achieved.
“Outsider? Who said Little Friend Chu is an outsider?”
However, Ancestor Changkong suddenly smiled, and his booming voice declared:
“From today onwards, Little Friend Chu shall be the new Holy Son of my Tianxuan Holy Land!”
He grasped Chu Ying’s hand, and the next second, a cluster of inherited memories containing the Tianxuan Sutra merged into Chu Ying’s mind.
Even Chu Ying didn’t react in time; a large amount of information inexplicably appeared in his mind.
Tianxuan Sutra!
“Senior, you are…” Chu Ying was stunned.
Why did this situation make him feel so helpless?
He was still thinking about how to bring it up, to see if he could somehow snag the position of a Tianxuan Holy Son.
To be honest, before arriving at the Tianxuan Holy Land, as he accompanied Qiu Lingsu on the journey, this thought had already sprouted in his mind.
Although he held the title of “Consort of the Immortal Tomb,” he wasn’t a Disciple of the Immortal Tomb himself.
Moreover, the Immortal Tomb hadn’t truly emerged into the world. While he could indeed ask the Immortal Tomb for help if he truly encountered danger, ordinarily, he was still a “rogue Cultivator.”
To put it plainly, the Immortal Tomb was his father-in-law’s force, his wife Meng Qing’s background.
It didn’t actually have much direct connection to him.
However, external forces wouldn’t think that way; they feared the Immortal Tomb and thus dared not provoke Chu Ying.
Besides… being the Consort of the Immortal Tomb didn’t mean he couldn’t have other identities, did it?
After all, when the Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum held its martial arts gathering back then, weren’t the Eastern Wasteland prodigies they invited all Young Masters or inheritors from various Holy Lands, Archaic Families, or ancient Great Sects?
But then again…
Ancestor Changkong, doing it this way makes me look foolish!
“Little Friend Chu has obtained the core inheritance of my Tianxuan Holy Land, so naturally, he is a Disciple of Tianxuan. And since my Tianxuan Holy Land currently has no Holy Son, Little Friend Chu shall henceforth be the Holy Son of my Tianxuan Holy Land.”
“Tianxuan Cultivators, all Disciples and Peak Lords and Elders, does anyone have any objection to this?”
Ancestor Changkong’s voice was indifferent, echoing throughout the vast Tianxuan Holy Land.
“We have no objection!”
“Greetings, Holy Son Chu Ying!”
Saint Lord Li Yong of Tianxuan, who had long discussed this with Ancestor Changkong, immediately took the lead in speaking, and had secretly communicated with the Peak Lords and Elders of various peaks.
So at this moment, no rehearsal was needed; they responded in unison.
Their voices were incredibly resonant, absolutely firm.
“Good!”
“Since you Fellow Daoists have come today, you might as well participate in my Tianxuan’s Holy Son Succession Ceremony!”
Ancestor Changkong declared loudly.
The entire venue was stunned for a moment.
All the Great Sect Leaders were so shocked their mouths hung open, unable to close.
They could actually play it this way?
They got a monstrous Eight Heavens Champion as their Holy Son for free?
And even established a connection with the Forbidden Zone Immortal Mausoleum?
“This Tianxuan Laozu… is truly a shrewd one!” The Saintly Being of the Feng Family finally blurted out after holding it in for a long time.
He was filled with emotion, his gaze extremely complex.
If the Holy Son of the Tianxuan Holy Land became Chu Ying, then it was probable that the Tianxuan Holy Land’s prestige would reach an extremely high level in a short period of time.
“Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.”
The female Saintly Being of the Zi Xia Holy Land shook her head with a bitter smile.
This kind of strategy was simply too brazen, somewhat like a forced purchase and sale.
However, looking at the relationship between the Consort of the Immortal Tomb and the Tianxuan Holy Maiden, it seemed somewhat unusual?
At this moment.
The people from the Jade Balance, Open Yang, and Celestial Balance Three Holy Lands were utterly dumbfounded.
Including their Disciples, Elders, Saint Lords, and those six Old Ancestors, all were as still as wooden chickens.
What the hell!
Why didn’t they think of this themselves?!
Their own Holy Lands also lacked a Holy Son! And they had just lost three Holy Sons!
The three Jade Balance Holy Maiden, who had little say, also stared blankly.
Chu Ying became the Tianxuan Holy Son?
They couldn’t help but imagine, if their Old Ancestors had spoken like the Tianxuan Laozu, would it have been possible for Chu Ying to become the Holy Son of their Three Holy Lands as well?
Even if he couldn’t be divided into three, he could at least become the Holy Son of one Holy Land, right?
For a moment, they felt a sense of envy and loss.
“Ancestor Changkong, aren’t you going too far with this? Do you think this Little Friend Chu would even care for the position of Holy Son of your mere Tianxuan Holy Land?”
The Old Ancestor Yuheng recovered, suppressing his anger as he spoke.
At the same time, he was trying to provoke Chu Ying.
