193: Chu Shengzi
“Or… if you all want to start a war, my Celestial Pivot Holy Land is fully prepared to accompany you.”
Old Ancestor Changkong was invigorated, looking very much as if he was anticipating it.
He had also become clear about Chu Ying’s background.
Besides becoming the Consort of the Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum, he had also previously shone brightly in the North Nether Sea of the Western Demon Clan, backed by a peerless expert of the Demon Clan.
It was none other than the White-browed Eagle King of the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng Clan from three thousand years ago.
Speaking of which, he wasn't of the same generation as the White-browed Eagle King; after all, three thousand years ago, he hadn't even been born.
When the White-browed Eagle King dominated the Eastern Wilderness, the entire Eastern Wilderness was filled with the name of the Demon Clan's White-browed Eagle King.
So, in his era, he had also heard of such a legendary figure from the Demon Clan.
Now, three thousand years later, the White-browed Eagle King has emerged, and there are faint rumors within the Demon Clan that the White-browed Eagle King might have already found the path to becoming a Great Saint.
This point was extremely terrifying.
Therefore, not only was he not worried that the Three Great Sacred Grounds would dare to act, but he was even somewhat looking forward to it.
It would also be a good opportunity for his Celestial Pivot Holy Land to draw closer to the powerful figures behind Chu Ying.
“Hmph!”
Old Ancestor Yuheng’s eyes flickered, his expression dark and uncertain.
War? If he had confidence before, he didn't now.
He never imagined that a young man would become the biggest variable, thus restraining them.
“Even if you don’t hand over the Tianxuan Sutra, do you think you can escape the Beidou Summit?”
Old Ancestor Yuheng seemed to have thought of something and sneered.
“We are not the only ones who want the inheritances of the Seven Great Sacred Grounds to merge into one.”
After speaking, the people from the Three Great Sacred Grounds of Jade Balance turned and left; they naturally had no mood to attend this Holy Son conferment ceremony.
Seeing this, the Thunder Punishment Holy Land could only apologize and depart.
There was no way; staying here was awkward no matter what, but Old Ancestor Changkong was too lazy to bother with these people.
He was pondering Old Ancestor Yuheng’s words.
“Old Ancestor, I’m afraid those two factions on the Boundless Sea have also set their minds on it.”
At this moment, Saint Lord Li Yong walked over, his expression solemn.
“Very likely.” Old Ancestor Changkong nodded and sighed, “Perhaps the Three Great Sacred Grounds want to seize the initiative, which is why they came to force us to hand over the Tianxuan Sutra.”
“The Seven Great Ancient Scriptures are of equal standing and are indispensable; if more than half are mastered, one will gain the initiative.”
“Old Ancestor, what should we do then?”
Li Yong asked in a deep voice; he felt that being a Saint Lord was very difficult, especially in such chaotic times.
“We will wait and see; if in the end, the reappearance of the Big Dipper inheritance becomes inevitable, then there will be no need to adhere to anything anymore.”
Old Ancestor Changkong shook his head.
“However, this time at the Beidou Summit, we should also not be passive.” A glint of light flashed in his aged, cloudy eyes.
Li Yong was startled, then immediately reacted.
An Old Ancestor and a Saint Lord, the two looked at each other and smiled, giving off a feeling of old cunning.
…
The conferment ceremony for the Celestial Pivot Holy Son quickly began.
It must be said, it was very grand and impressive.
After all, the Peak Lords and Elders of the Celestial Pivot Holy Land never expected that what was clearly a crisis would be cleverly resolved by the Old Ancestor, and they even got a powerful Holy Son for free.
Purely for free.
This Holy Son Chu Ying had never cultivated in the Celestial Pivot Holy Land; he himself was an immensely powerful Eight Heavens Champion, an unrivaled Tianjiao.
The strength he casually displayed defeated the Thunder Punishment Holy Son from the third heaven of the Heaven Soul Palace, showing just how powerful he was.
Moreover, the background and forces he possessed were quite terrifying. Although there was no direct relationship with the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, since Chu Ying became the Celestial Pivot Holy Son, if Celestial Pivot faced difficulties in the future, would Chu Ying just stand by and do nothing?
The forces behind Chu Ying, such as the White-browed Eagle King of the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng Clan, and the powerful figures of the Forbidden Zone Immortal Mausoleum, surely wouldn't let Chu Ying lose Face, would they?
Taking a step back, wasn't there also the Holy Daughter…
On the high platform, after Chu Ying had bathed and changed, he lit incense and recited scriptures at the ancestral altar.
His features were clear and handsome, like a jade tree, with distinct, chiseled angles to his Face.
His sword-like brows and starry eyes were bright and profound as an abyss.
His figure was tall and straight, and his expression was calm.
His entire being exuded an ethereal aura, coupled with his handsome appearance, truly captivated many female Disciples of Celestial Pivot.
“Young Master Chu has truly become the Holy Son of our Celestial Pivot Holy Land…”
Gazing at Chu Ying, who was undergoing the conferment ceremony on the stage, Qiu Lingsu’s eyes were lost in thought.
Unbeknownst to her what she thought of, a blush rose on her flawless, snow-white Face.
“Miss, Young Master Chu is the Holy Son, and you are the Holy Daughter. If there are no surprises, you two will definitely become Dao Companions in the future.”
Beside Qiu Lingsu, one of her small maids spoke with a smile.
“Dao Companions…” Qiu Lingsu’s eyes were hazy, then she suddenly reacted and chided:
“Who told you to say such things?”
“Hehe, Miss, Peak Lord has already instructed us that you like Chu Ying, and we should give you some advice when necessary.”
“…”
Qiu Lingsu was speechless and stunned.
Her Revered Master… truly “cared” for her.
On the stage.
After Chu Ying completed a series of steps that were not actually complicated but looked tedious, he was formally established as the Celestial Pivot Holy Son.
“From this day forward, the one hundredth Holy Son of my Celestial Pivot Holy Land shall be—Chu Ying.”
Saint Lord Li Yong’s voice was resonant, echoing throughout the vast Celestial Pivot Holy Land.
The various sect Revered Masters from the Central Region, the Feng Family, and the Saintly Beings from the Zi Xia Holy Land all witnessed this as observers.
“Greetings, Holy Son Chu Ying!”
Throughout the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, from inner and outer Disciples to Elders and Peak Lords, all spoke in unison, perfectly synchronized.
This time, the occasion and ceremony appeared very solemn and dignified.
And within the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, no Disciple or Elder was dissatisfied.
Whether it was Chu Ying’s own powerful talent and strength, or his impressive background, no one could find any fault.
Moreover, at this moment, for the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, which only had a Holy Daughter, Chu Ying becoming their Holy Son almost became their hope.
Chu Ying nodded his head.
He put on the exclusive Holy Son robes of the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, with the North Dipper Seven Stars pattern on the sleeves, the brightest of which was the Celestial Pivot star.
“Holy Son is now a Disciple of my Celestial Pivot Holy Land. If you have any questions regarding the cultivation of the Tianxuan Sutra, you can directly ask me or the Old Ancestor.”
Li Yong said with a smile, very approachable, without any airs of a Saint Lord.
Different ancient scriptures could also be cultivated concurrently and would not replace Chu Ying’s original Cultivation Techniques.
“I actually do have a question.”
Chu Ying spoke with a slightly awkward expression.
“Oh? What is your question, Holy Son? Please speak freely.” Li Yong said with a smile.
“Ahem… it’s just… in our Celestial Pivot Holy Land, a Holy Son can become Dao Companions with a Holy Daughter, right?”
Although Chu Ying felt his heart was open, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel shy.
After all, as soon as he said it, it felt like the entire Celestial Pivot Holy Land knew his thoughts.
“Uh…” Li Yong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.
“Of course, but it’s entirely up to the Holy Son and Holy Daughter’s own wishes; the Holy Land will not force it.”
Li Yong said with a beaming smile.
“Is that so? Well, since we have this opportunity… hey, Miss Qiu?”
Chu Ying nodded, then looked towards Qiu Lingsu’s direction.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Qiu Lingsu fled in embarrassment, her Face red, leaving only a beautiful, fragile silhouette behind.
“Holy Son Chu Ying, our Holy Daughter is quite shy. She asked us to convey that she hopes the Holy Son can come to her cultivation residence to discuss in detail.”
Qiu Lingsu’s two maids, however, smilingly provided an assist.
Qiu Lingsu, who was gracefully departing, seemed to hear her maids’ words, stumbled, and almost fell.
