377: Son of God?
Those qiankun rings were emitting a faint glow.
One could tell at a glance that they were of an extremely high grade.
Furthermore, all the Restrictions on them had been removed!
It had to be said that those people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were truly willing to invest heavily. If Lin Ye hadn't decided to first investigate the Flying Feather Holy Sect thoroughly, joining the Heavenly Sword Sect would have been a good choice as well.
One should not accept rewards without merit.
Lin Ye put away those qiankun rings, intending to find an opportunity to return them.
The most urgent task was to first improve his cultivation.
Through the supreme experience card, his comprehension of the Dao of the sword had deepened, and his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, ready to Breakthrough to Undergoing Tribulation at any moment!
There was also that Emperor Eye Fire Eye.
Lin Ye himself was now a great Treasure Trove.
Only through constant exploration could he develop it to Major Achievement.
Thinking of this,
Lin Ye closed his eyes and began secluded cultivation.
...
Three consecutive days passed. During these three days, Duanmu Yu had sent many Disciples to deliver resources, which showed just how much importance he placed on Lin Ye.
Early on the fourth day, a female Disciple came knocking.
"Lin... Lin Gongzi, I wonder if you are in secluded cultivation? The Holy Lord asked me to invite you to the Holy Lord Hall."
Since Lin Ye had not yet officially joined the Flying Feather Holy Sect, the female Disciple pondered for a moment before addressing him as Young Master.
Rumble...
The doors of the Tianjue Hall were pushed open, and Lin Ye, dressed in white, walked out.
At this moment, he was sharp and imposing. These three days had allowed his cultivation in the Dao of the sword to advance significantly, and even his temperament had completely changed.
If the previous Lin Ye in red was full of eeriness and mystery,
then this Lin Ye in white was an unsheathed sharp sword! He carried an Aura that could destroy anything, and his face had even changed slightly.
It was hard to imagine that this was the same person.
Seeing Lin Ye's handsome appearance, like a young Sword Immortal, a few blushes appeared on the female Disciple's pretty face.
Lin Ye said softly to the female Disciple, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I will go now."
"No, no, no..."
Upon hearing Lin Ye call her Senior Sister, the female Disciple hurriedly shook her little head. Over these three days, Lin Ye's reputation had completely resounded throughout the entire Flying Feather Holy Sect.
Who didn't know that a Prodigy of the Dao of the sword had come to challenge the Sect and defeated Elder Li!
He even caused the Heavenly Sword Sect to spare no cost to snatch him away!
The Holy Lord had even said he would give him the position of Saint, and this matter had been confirmed by the Saint, Gu Yunzhe!
It could be said that although Lin Ye had not yet officially joined the Flying Feather Holy Sect, his reputation was already on par with Gu Yunzhe, and perhaps even a bit stronger.
Faced with such a shocking Prodigy, how could the female Disciple dare to let Lin Ye call her Senior Sister!
If he became a Saint, all the Disciples of the younger generation would have to call Lin Ye Senior Brother!
After exchanging a few more words with the female Disciple, Lin Ye sped toward the Holy Lord Hall.
...
Inside the Holy Lord Hall of the Flying Feather Holy Sect.
Duanmu Yu sat on the Holy Lord's chair, with Elders standing on both sides, each of their faces filled with a trace of joy.
Lin Ye's joining meant that their Flying Feather Holy Sect now had three top-tier Prodigies in this era!
In this great era, they would definitely be able to compete!
Gu Yunzhe and Liu Yao had also arrived at the main hall; the two of them represented the younger generation of Disciples.
"Holy Lord!"
Just then, an Elder suggested, "The position of Saint is already held by Gu Yunzhe. Giving the position of Saint to Lin Ye is a bit too much of a joke. It would be better to just add another Saint."
"What?"
Hearing his words, before Duanmu Yu could speak, the other Elders couldn't sit still.
"There has always been one Saint and one Saintess. Adding another Saint, wouldn't that be the joke?"
"But Gu Yunzhe is already the Saint. Are we supposed to make him give up the position? Even if he agrees, how are we to explain it to the other Disciples? After all, a Saint stepping down just like that would inevitably cause dissatisfaction, and that would not be a good thing for Lin Ye either."
"Then what do you propose? Two Saints and one Saintess? Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock if word got out to other Sects?"
"..."
The Elders were discussing heatedly.
Down below, Liu Yao asked Gu Yunzhe, "They are talking about making you give up your position as Saint; don't you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhe shrugged and said indifferently, "Of course I have no objections. I have interacted with Lin Ye; he is indeed a good person. The position of Saint is just an empty title. He doesn't care about it, and naturally, I don't care either."
"..."
Liu Yao rolled her eyes at Gu Yunzhe.
She felt that he was hinting at her!
Saying that neither of you cares, as if anyone actually cares!
No, perhaps she should just give the position of Saintess to Lin Ye!
Duanmu Yu, sitting on the chair, frowned. He had also been worrying about this matter for the past three days.
What he said earlier about giving the Saint position to Lin Ye was sincere, but he couldn't actually do it.
This matter had too great an impact.
That was why he had called all the Elders here today to discuss it, but the Elders were expressing their own opinions, and it was clear they couldn't reach a conclusion. It was truly a headache.
Just then, someone spoke up, "Since we cannot add a Saint position and cannot have the Saint step down, why not just give him the position of God Child?"
"God Child?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this title.
God Child was a title that only existed in ancient times. It was above the Saint, and only those ancient Prodigies who suppressed their era held such a title.
It also meant that the entire Sect was pinning the hopes of the current era on that person.
They naturally had no objections regarding Lin Ye's talent, but after all, Lin Ye had only been here for a mere three days.
Furthermore, the title of God Child had not been inherited by anyone for too long.
So long that everyone in the Sect had forgotten it, or rather, no other Sect had established the position of God Child.
Just when everyone was silent, Duanmu Yu's eyes lit up!
That's right!
If it were God Child, wouldn't that work!
It wouldn't require Gu Yunzhe to step down, and it would demonstrate the favorable treatment towards Lin Ye!
After all, those old guys from the Heavenly Sword Sect were still coveting Lin Ye. He had to ensure Lin Ye felt a sense of belonging to the entire Sect!
"God Child works! Let it be God Child!!!"
Duanmu Yu's voice directly drowned out all other sounds in the hall.
"Holy Lord, are we really going to establish the God Child position? Do we not need to notify the Old Ancestor?"
One of the Elders stood up, his expression uncertain.
The Holy Lord could completely decide on matters regarding the Saint.
But for the God Child, it was a major matter. It seemed inappropriate not to report it to the Old Ancestor.
This was clearly just a well-intentioned reminder, but Duanmu Yu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Old Ancestor? What the hell is the Old Ancestor! I am the Holy Lord, and I have the final say!"
