929: Xiao Xuan's confidence
"Wait."
"This disciple has something to say."
The moment the heaven-worshiping ceremony was completed, Xiao Xuan spoke softly.
"Whoosh!"
Everyone who came to congratulate him turned to look at Xiao Xuan.
The succession ceremony was sacred and inviolable, especially since it was for a Sect Master personally appointed by the Starry Sacred Mother.
Did Xiao Xuan not value his life, daring to interrupt Gu Nian's succession?
"Grand Ancestor, the position of Sect Master is of great importance, concerning the rise and fall of the sect. What virtue or ability does Gu Nian possess to be Sect Master?"
Xiao Xuan ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and walked step by step towards the bottom of the altar, looking indifferently at the Starry Sacred Mother on the altar, and said softly.
"Are you questioning this Seat?" The Starry Sacred Mother frowned, using a secret technique to deduce Xiao Xuan's fate trajectory.
However, she couldn't deduce anything; a force obscured Xiao Xuan's destiny.
When this happens, there are usually only two possibilities: either Xiao Xuan possesses a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure, or there is a Dao Master behind Xiao Xuan whose strength surpasses her own.
The Starry Sacred Mother leaned towards the latter.
After all, Primal Chaos Supreme Treasures weren't as common as cabbages.
But even if Xiao Xuan had a Dao Master backing him, if he dared to ruin her plans, she would definitely kill Xiao Xuan.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Xiao Xuan cupped his fists and bowed, saying he wouldn't dare, yet his expression showed no fear, clearly not taking the Starry Sacred Mother seriously.
Xiao Xuan looked directly at the Starry Sacred Mother, neither servile nor overbearing, saying, "As a disciple of the sect, I bear the heavy responsibility for its rise and fall."
"Gu Nian is unknown and has made no contribution to the sect. If she is allowed to succeed as Sect Master, how can this convince the masses? This is also a great injustice to the hundreds of millions of disciples of the sect."
His words all but explicitly stated that the Starry Sacred Mother was abusing her power for personal gain, treating the sect as her personal domain.
The crowd no longer looked at Xiao Xuan with shock, but as if he were a madman.
The Star God Sect was originally founded by the Starry Sacred Mother; how could the Starry Sacred Mother not personally appoint the Sect Master?
Could it be that a dignified Grand Ancestor of a sect, a Dao Master powerhouse, should humbly discuss and strategize with a group of ants to support a Sect Master?
"He's mad."
"I've long heard that the Star God Sect's Saint Son, Xiao Xuan, possesses heaven-defying comprehension, unparalleled talent, and is Unprecedented, but I never expected him to be a madman."
Those who came to congratulate secretly shook their heads, as if looking at a dead man.
Even the elders who supported Xiao Xuan were now terrified, their faces slightly pale.
They had thought Xiao Xuan would challenge Gu Nian to a duel at an opportune moment, display his talent, and become a disciple of the Starry Sacred Mother.
But they never expected Xiao Xuan to be so audacious, daring to provoke the Starry Sacred Mother's authority.
How was this any different from seeking death?
At this thought, however much they had wanted to curry favor with Xiao Xuan before, they now wanted to kill him.
Although Xiao Xuan had boundless prospects and was destined to become a supreme existence, a genius who hadn't grown up was, after all, just a genius, not a powerhouse.
They wouldn't be so naive as to think that Xiao Xuan could challenge the Starry Sacred Mother and still live.
"What are you looking at? Did you already know he would cause trouble?"
The Starry Sacred Mother's killing intent surged, but when she saw Gu Qing looking calm and not at all surprised, she became annoyed.
Gu Qing smiled, "I guessed some of it."
More than just guessing, Gu Qing was almost certain that Xiao Xuan would cause trouble.
With such a grand occasion, if the protagonist didn't jump out to show off, would he still be the protagonist?
It was just that Gu Qing didn't want to interfere.
To cultivate Gu Nian to be independent, he shouldn't handle everything for her.
If he had to intervene in everything, what was the point of cultivating her? He might as well just tie Gu Nian to his belt.
"Then what is his background? Does he have a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure?" the Starry Sacred Mother asked via telepathy.
"No!"
Gu Qing replied via telepathy, "However, he has a magic treasure refined by a Dao Master, and a trace of a Dao Thought on him."
"It seems he is a puppet cultivated by that great power for the Gate of Creation."
Under the gaze of the Dao Pupil, Xiao Xuan was like a thriving Dao fruit, forcibly imbued with countless Great Dao laws.
It was certain that the powerhouse who gave Xiao Xuan the system did not intend to cultivate Xiao Xuan, nor did they intend for Xiao Xuan to inherit their Dao lineage.
To truly cultivate a successor, one would not forcibly imbue cultivation.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan could only be a chess piece.
He was helping others plunder the fortune of the Gate of Creation, and after the deed was done, it would be time for others to harvest the ripe fruit.
"Then should I kill him now?" Hearing Gu Qing's words, the Starry Sacred Mother hesitated.
"Whatever."
Gu Qing said indifferently, "But I think we shouldn't intervene in everything. It's appropriate to let Nian Nian handle things herself."
"Alright!"
... The moment Gu Nian succeeded, boundless great fortune descended upon her, instantly causing her to achieve enlightenment and enter a profound state.
Gu Nian almost couldn't suppress her realm from breaking through and only broke free from her enlightenment after a while.
She looked up at Xiao Xuan, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, like an empress high above the Nine Heavens looking down on all living beings.
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, greatly displeased by Gu Nian's indifferent gaze.
As a Transmigrator, in his heart, all beings were equal; no one was superior to another, and he most hated being looked down upon from a high pedestal.
Also, the Starry Sacred Mother's disdainful and indifferent gaze was a tremendous humiliation to him.
Was it just because her cultivation was higher than his right now?
What was there to be arrogant about?
Given enough time, with his heaven-defying comprehension, he would eventually surpass the Starry Sacred Mother.
"It seems you are very confident in your strength."
A divine light flashed in Gu Nian's eyes, seeing through Xiao Xuan's background, and she was greatly shocked.
Someone had actually cultivated countless Dao scriptures, divine abilities, and secret techniques.
Wasn't this a big fool?
Although it was said that having many skills was not a burden, one should also have a specialty, rather than being broad but not proficient; this was meaningless.
Would anyone really think that the more Dao scriptures, divine abilities, and secret techniques one cultivated, the stronger one would become?
Gu Nian didn't understand, but she was greatly astonished.
"I wouldn't dare say I'm invincible, but defeating you is more than enough."
Xiao Xuan shrugged and said indifferently.
Possessing heaven-defying comprehension, he was confident he could suppress all enemies, and even in cross-rank battles, Xiao Xuan had absolute certainty of victory.
Xiao Xuan's eyes darted around, seeing that no one favored him, and even the elders who supported him looked at him as if he were a dead man. Xiao Xuan sneered inwardly.
These people were indeed a bunch of fickle opportunists; no matter how loyal they claimed to be, it was only for their own benefit.
When there was profit to be made from him, they supported him, even going so far as to flatter him with treasures.
Now that they saw him offend the Starry Sacred Mother, they immediately wished him dead.
Indeed, they were all a bunch of sycophantic hypocrites.
But Xiao Xuan didn't care.
These people would never know what great opportunity they had missed.
Nor would they ever know how many trump cards he possessed.
They might treat him with disdain now, but after he defeated Gu Nian, he would make them unable to reach him.
Xiao Xuan cared only about the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman; if not for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, he would not have stepped forward at all.
A mere Sect Master of the Star God Sect, he, Xiao Xuan, did not even put her in his eyes.
Even joining the Star God Sect was for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
