142: The Supreme Lord has appointed him as the future Sect Master of the Xuantian Dao Sect!

Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Tens of thousands of Disciples gathered together.

Besides the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the other Seven Sects each brought 1,000 Disciples to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

These people were arranged on both sides of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's Disciples, jointly participating in this assembly.

"Has Su Yang really returned?"

"Are you sure you saw Su Yang?"

In the crowd.

Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing were both anxiously asking their Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

For this past year, the two of them had no news of Su Yang at all. Gu Yue only told them when she returned that Su Yang had gone to Breakthrough his Cultivation, and then said nothing else. They weren't fools; if there was nothing wrong, how could she have returned early by herself?

But no matter how they asked, it was useless. Gu Yue hadn't told them what exactly Su Yang had encountered.

Coupled with the increasing rumors they heard that Su Yang might have died, neither Wen Yunyao nor Lin Bingqing had any desire to Cultivate for this past year. The longer time passed, the less motivated they became.

Just now,

they suddenly heard the entire Profound Heaven Dao Sect shouting in unison, welcoming Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's return. Both were excited to find Su Yang, but before they could see him, they were called to assemble.

"Junior Sister Wen, Senior Sister Lin, I saw it with my own eyes, there's absolutely no mistake!"

"I saw it too. It was the Three Grand Elders who welcomed Lingxiao Sword Ancestor back together."

"You should see him soon. This assembly is probably to welcome Lingxiao Sword Ancestor back to the Sect."

"Also, I have good news for you: Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is already a Nascent Soul expert! Terribly strong!"

The Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters around them grew more excited as they spoke, and Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing became increasingly happy as they listened.

Although they hadn't seen Su Yang yet, it was basically confirmed that he had truly returned.

Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing exchanged glances, their eyes clearly misty. Even Lin Bingqing, a cold beauty, was excited and happy in her heart now that she knew Su Yang had returned.

A group of figures stepped through the air!

Standing before all the Disciples.

"It's Su Yang! It really is Su Yang!"

"Su Yang~~~"

"That's great, he really came back!"

When Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing saw Su Yang, they immediately lost control of their emotions. Wen Yunyao even loudly called out Su Yang's name, waving to him incessantly.

Su Yang heard her voice, looked over in the direction of the sound, and saw Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing.

Seeing them again, he also spontaneously showed them a smile.

And waved to them in greeting.

Wen Yunyao excitedly hugged Lin Bingqing beside her, jumping up and down.

Lin Bingqing was also excited, but the atmosphere at the moment was very serious. She suppressed her excitement and pulled Wen Yunyao, signaling her to be quiet and not get too worked up.

In the air above.

Wen Yuheng stepped forward and spoke.

"A year ago, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor and 500 Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect went together to the Tiangong Pavilion to participate in the mission to eradicate the Demonic Path."

"After the mission was completed, it happened that Lingxiao Sword Ancestor needed to Breakthrough a Bottleneck, so he left alone to an uninhabited place to comprehend the Immortal Dao and seek a Breakthrough."

"During this period, there were rumors that Lingxiao Sword Ancestor had fallen, but this Sect Master always said those rumors were groundless."

"Now, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor returns triumphantly, having successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage, his strength greatly increased. From now on, our Profound Heaven Dao Sect has one more Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"Now, all Disciples, with the most enthusiastic cheers, welcome Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's triumphant return, and congratulate Lingxiao Sword Ancestor on his promotion to Nascent Soul!"

As soon as Wen Yuheng's voice fell, tens of thousands of Profound Heaven Dao Sect Disciples shouted in unison.

Their voices shook the nine heavens.

"Welcome Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's triumphant return!"

"Congratulations to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor on his promotion to Nascent Soul!"

"Welcome Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's triumphant return!!"

"Congratulations to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor on his promotion to Nascent Soul!!"

"Welcome Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's triumphant return!!!"

"Congratulations to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor on his promotion to Nascent Soul!!!"

Each sentence was repeated three times, and the shouts grew louder with each repetition!

This scene, this atmosphere, many Disciples from the Seven Sects also joined in the shouting.

The Sect Masters of the Seven Sects stood nearby, looking at the scene before them, each filled with emotion, especially Su Yulan, the Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect, whose expression was truly thought-provoking.

Wen Yuheng raised his hand, quieting the shouts.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing smiled slightly at Su Yang, then stepped forward, surveying the tens of thousands of Profound Heaven Dao Sect Disciples, as well as the seven thousand Disciples brought by the Seven Great Sects.

As he spoke, a profound sound echoed through the firmament, as if the heavens themselves were issuing a decree.

"Today, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor returns triumphantly after Breakthrough to Nascent Soul."

"As the Sect Masters of the Eight Great Sects are all gathered at the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the Consecration Pavilion, after joint deliberation, has decided to formally announce today a decision of great importance to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's millennium development plan."

He paused after speaking.

Just as everyone was curious about what he was going to say, Grand Elder Xuan Qing slowly began.

"The Consecration Pavilion has decided that, from today onwards, the master of the divine sword, the Grand Elder's foremost Disciple, the youngest Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in the history of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect—Su Yang—is officially appointed as the next Sect Master successor of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect!"

"Once the current Sect Master Wen Yuheng is promoted to the position of Elder, Su Yang will formally assume the position of Profound Heaven Dao Sect's Sect Master, wield the authority of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's Sect Master, and become the new generation's helmsman of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect!"

The profound sound echoed through the firmament, reverberating in every corner of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Upon hearing this news, the Disciples were all shocked.

Calculating it, Su Yang had Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment less than two years ago, yet he was directly chosen by the Consecration Pavilion's Grand Elders to be the next Sect Master successor, which was simply incredible.

The various Pavilion Revered Masters of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect were even more incredibly shocked to hear this news.

Who would have thought that the Grand Elders of the Consecration Pavilion would personally step in and name Su Yang as the next Sect Master? This meant that all of them instantly lost their chance.

Unconvinced?

Considering Su Yang's age, they were indeed unconvinced!

But precisely because of Su Yang's age, they had no choice but to be convinced.

At Su Yang's age, they were still struggling in the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase, but Su Yang? He was already in the Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase. With this speed of Cultivation improvement, they didn't even have the confidence to be unconvinced!

If there was anyone whose face was the most unpleasant upon hearing this news, it was undoubtedly the Sect Masters of the Seven Great Sects.

They never expected that the Grand Elders of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect would announce such a thing.

What did this mean?

It meant that Su Yang would soon be able to stand on equal footing with them.

They were still calling him 'Little Nephew Su Yang,' but perhaps the next time they met, they would have to address him as 'Sect Master Su'!

Especially Su Yulan, thinking about how much she had offended Su Yang, she was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

She also wondered if there was still a chance to improve her relationship with Su Yang.

"Congratulations, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

Among the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, Jiang Muchen was the first to react, shouting excitedly.

Immediately, all the Disciples responded in unison.

"Congratulations, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!!!"

Su Yang, listening to the congratulations, was also a little surprised by Grand Elder Xuan Qing's decision. However, he was not a saint; could he refuse such a good thing? Of course not!

Becoming the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect meant having unlimited Cultivation resources in the future!

It also meant he would have his own power!

There was absolutely no reason to refuse!

Su Yang stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute, "Thank you, Revered Master, for your great kindness. This Disciple, Su Yang, will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing raised Su Yang's hand, pulled him to face the seven Sect Masters, "All Sect Masters are gathered here today, and it happens to be a witness. Su Yang will be the next Sect Master of my Profound Heaven Dao Sect. In the future, I hope everyone will give him more care, help each other when needed, and avoid mutual suspicion and internal strife, which would harm our harmony."

After speaking, his gaze swept over them.

He did not deliberately release his pressure, but his transcendent strength was evident. Just a glance made the hearts of the seven Sect Masters tremble.

They instantly understood that Grand Elder Xuan Qing was warning them.

From now on, Su Yang was the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's chosen next Sect Master. Any further malicious intentions towards him would no longer be simply targeting a Disciple of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, but would be directly defined as targeting the Profound Heaven Dao Sect itself!

Su Yang's identity, from this moment on, was equivalent to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect itself!

The seven Sect Masters exchanged glances, all their shock, bewilderment, embarrassment, and helplessness hidden in their hearts.

Each stepped forward to congratulate Su Yang.

"Zhao Shengdao, Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, congratulates Lingxiao Sword Ancestor."

"Ye Canglong, Sect Master of the Yu Ling Sect, congratulates Lingxiao Sword Ancestor."

"Su Yulan, Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect, congratulates Lingxiao Sword Ancestor... I hope there will be opportunities in the future to deepen our understanding and build a deeper friendship with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor..."
