Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, the area outside the Taiyi Holy Land became even more bustling.
Everyone had come to witness Xu Chuan ascend to the position of Holy Son.
When the first rays of dawn on the third day touched Taiyi Peak.
It signaled that the grand ceremony for the Holy Son's succession had officially begun.
*Dong!*
The melodious chime of the bell rang out once more.
Everyone's spirits were instantly lifted.
"It's starting!"
"Here it comes!"
"The Holy Son's succession, I've never seen anything like it in my life!"
As the bell tolled, the long-awaiting crowd immediately stirred.
At this moment, the mountain gate of the Taiyi Holy Land was fully opened.
Those who had come to observe the ceremony entered one by one.
However, this action would not lead to any negative consequences for the Taiyi Holy Land.
Long before the mountain gate was opened, the entire Taiyi Holy Land had already been enveloped by a formidable formation.
Anyone with malicious intent towards the Taiyi Holy Land who entered this area would be instantly detected and eliminated by the formation!
It was precisely because of this that the Taiyi Holy Land dared to let these people enter to witness the ceremony without any reservations.
However, those who were not disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were only permitted to watch from below Taiyi Peak.
Disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, on the other hand, were allowed to ascend Taiyi Peak.
*Dong!*
Another chime of the bell sounded.
Ethereal mist, like rosy clouds, spread across the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
The entire Eastern Domain could clearly see it.
This was the prestige of the Taiyi Holy Land!
Then.
Xuan Sa, the Holy Lord of Taiyi, descended from the sky, appearing on the grand hall of Taiyi Peak.
Behind him followed the nine peak masters and all the elders of the Taiyi Holy Land.
The eight quasi-Holy Sons who had failed to compete stood behind the elders.
Even though they had not become quasi-Holy Sons, their cultivation realms were nonetheless those of formidable experts.
A vast procession of people, their auras unrestrained.
Apart from the hidden foundations of the Holy Land that remained in seclusion.
Almost all of the top experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were present.
This was not only to showcase the might of the Holy Land but also to express their regard for Xu Chuan.
The young attendant beside them called out in a loud voice: "We welcome the Holy Lord of Taiyi and all the peak masters and elders!"
Upon hearing this, both the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land and the guests who had come to observe the ceremony simultaneously offered their congratulations: "We welcome the Holy Lord of Taiyi and all the peak masters and elders!"
Experts commanded respect wherever they went.
What's more, they were within the Taiyi Holy Land.
"There is no need for such formalities!"
On the grand hall, Xuan Sa's voice was warm, dignified without being angry.
He said with a smile to those below.
The succession of the Taiyi Holy Son was a momentous occasion, not only for him but for the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
Naturally, he was extremely pleased.
"Today, my sect's disciple, Xu Chuan, ascends to the position of Holy Son."
"Fellow cultivators have traveled from afar to witness this ceremony, and I am naturally most delighted."
After speaking, Xuan Sa paused, then continued: "Now, I announce that the succession ceremony shall commence!"
As Xuan Sa's words fell.
The entire Taiyi Holy Land began to stir.
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
"The most anticipated part has finally arrived!"
"To catch a glimpse of the Holy Son's true appearance, I shall have no regrets in this life!"
Countless people were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Following this, the attendant by his side shouted: "The auspicious hour has arrived!"
"Welcome—the Taiyi Sacred Stele!"
*Boom!*
As these words were spoken, it was as if a mechanism had been triggered, and the entire Taiyi Holy Land shone brilliantly.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy surged, and the sea of clouds churned.
Birds and beasts let out long cries, and flowing water and leaping fish and shrimp surged forth.
Then, a massive stone stele appeared on Taiyi Peak.
It materialized out of thin air before everyone's eyes.
Its appearance was exceptionally sudden.
A terrifying aura radiated from the stele in all directions, causing the hearts of those who had come to observe the ceremony to tremble with fear.
If Xu Chuan were present, he would recognize it immediately.
This stone stele was the very same one that had given him a daunting welcome when he first ascended Taiyi Peak, the one inscribed with the four characters "Taiyi Holy Land."
The stele, revealing its true form, appeared ancient and heavy, surrounded by divine light.
When the stele had fully manifested, the attendant continued to speak: "Welcome—Taiyi Holy Son Xu Chuan!"
The disciples below also shouted in unison.
"Welcome—Taiyi Holy Son Xu Chuan!"
The sound was so loud it echoed in all directions.
As the words fell, Xu Chuan, who had been prepared for a long time, instantly understood.
It was time for him to make his appearance.
With this thought, Xu Chuan gracefully descended from the sky, appearing before the crowd.
With his arrival.
For a moment, the entire Holy Land was filled with celestial music, rare and exotic beasts vied for attention, and countless Dao rhymes and divine sounds flowed.
For a time, the atmosphere was elevated to its peak!
Today, Xu Chuan was not dressed in the white robes he had worn before, appearing like a banished immortal.
He was clad in the exclusive Holy Son's attire of the Taiyi Holy Land.
A purple robe adorned with golden patterns, his head crowned with a nine-dragon golden coronet, his face resolute.
He carried himself with an unburdened grace, exuding the full majesty of a Holy Son.
He walked up to Xuan Sa and bowed, performing the rituals to perfection.
"Greetings, Holy Lord, greetings, all peak masters, greetings, all elders!"
He bowed in turn, showing no hint of impatience.
The grand ceremony for the Holy Son's succession was a significant event, witnessed by so many.
"No need for such formalities."
Xuan Sa said with a smile.
The more he looked at Xu Chuan, the more he favored him.
"Inscribe your name on the Sacred Stele!"
Xuan Sa pointed to the Sacred Stele beside him and said to Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan understood, and stepped forward.
Facing the towering Sacred Stele, he felt its aura.
Facing this Sacred Stele again, the feeling was vastly different.
Perhaps it was due to the change in his status, or perhaps it was due to his increased strength.
But none of that mattered.
What mattered was that he could finally face this Sacred Stele directly without being disturbed in his mind!
He lightly nicked his fingertip, and a drop of vital blood emerged.
Before coming, Situ Lin had already informed him of the precautions and the tasks he needed to perform.
Now, he just needed to execute them step by step!
Controlling the vital blood, Xu Chuan slowly inscribed his name on the Sacred Stele.
The next moment.
The Sacred Stele suddenly erupted with a brilliant golden light.
Following this.
Within the Taiyi Holy Land, vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth, so dense that it condensed into liquid and descended upon all the onlookers.
Golden auspicious energy reverberated throughout the Holy Land.
This was the blessing of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Everyone who had come to witness the ceremony could receive this blessing.
Immediately, some martial artists broke through their cultivation and advanced to a higher level under such circumstances.
Even ordinary mortals who had come to join in the excitement had their illnesses cured and gained longevity as a result of this event.
As the inscription of his name was completed.
Xu Chuan also felt a faint, ethereal connection form between himself and the Taiyi Holy Land.
The immense fortune of the entire Taiyi Holy Land began to flow towards him.
"We welcome Taiyi Holy Son Xu Chuan's succession!"
"We welcome Taiyi Holy Son Xu Chuan's succession!"
"We welcome Taiyi Holy Son Xu Chuan's succession!"
At this moment, a sound like a tidal wave echoed throughout the Taiyi Holy Land.
All were congratulating Xu Chuan.
