Chapter 86: Five Celestial Sons Gather, Feeling Wronged, They Do Not Approve

In the grand hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

No one spoke up voluntarily.

Silence had reached its utmost.

A falling pin could be heard.

It seemed that everyone present was about to face a very serious matter.

These were the four Celestial Sons and one Saint Maiden of the Taiyi Sacred Land.

There were five in total, all belonging to the present generation's Heavenly Pride.

Yet now they have all gathered together.

This is puzzling.

What could cause everyone to be like this?

Finally, a man clothed in gold stepped forward.

His name was Meng Que Xie, and among all the Celestial Sons and Saint Maidens, he ranked first.

Regardless of cultivation or talent, he was extremely strong, and even throughout the Mysterious Yellow Grand World, he had great fame.

He looked around, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Everyone knows, the Sacred Land is about to appoint a Celestial Son, his title is Taiyi, and he is only one year old!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lifted their heads, and their expressions began to grow complex.

The quota for Celestial Sons and Saint Maidens is nine in total, and currently in the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Only they five possess such status and position.

Therefore, another such being has appeared.

Actually, it's nothing.

They would not mind; on the contrary, they would be pleased, indicating that the talents in the Sacred Land have increased.

But the problem is, that Celestial Son bears the title of Taiyi, which makes everything different.

The reason is actually quite simple: once it becomes a fact, it means that everyone present will in the future be subordinate to this person.

Even if one wanted to contest, there is no way to do so, for this is acknowledged by the Sacred Land's Elder Ancestor and the senior leadership.

Moreover, there is another crucial point, as stated by the First Celestial Son Meng Que Xie.

That person is, up to now, only one year old.

One year old.

If it were them at that age, they had not even begun cultivation.

Yet now he stands directly above them, cutting off their chance to ever lead the Sacred Land.

This made the present Celestial Sons and Saint Maidens extremely dissatisfied, deeming it utterly unfair, which is why they have all gathered together.

"This child is originally the Divine Son of the Ancient Lu Family; why must he also become a Celestial Son of our Sacred Land?"

"A Saint Maiden spoke, her name Su Youkui, dressed in green, her beauty absolute, yet at this moment her brows carried anger as she continued: 'This does not equate to the future Sacred Land merging with the Ancient Lu Family, does it?'"

"If he truly possessed supreme combat power, that would be fine, but he has only just begun cultivation, so it is absolutely not acceptable."

Those nearby, upon hearing it, each nodded, feeling the words were reasonable, and they greatly approved.

"However, Lu Zhangsheng previously was in the Fleshly Body Realm."

"He broke the Ten Thousand Ages Record, ranking first!"

At this moment, another Celestial Son spoke, frowning: "This point, at least you and I certainly cannot achieve it, right?"

When the words fell, the grand hall fell into silence once more, because it could not be denied.

The Fleshly Body Realm Heavenly Dao Stele manifested, and Lu Zhangsheng stood first.

He has been the strongest in the Fleshly Body Realm since the Ancient Immortal Era.

They had once undergone combat power testing.

Although their ranking in the Sacred Land's Heavenly Dao Stele was quite good, they had never even thought of entering the Grand Stele.

"Even if ranked first, what of it? It is merely the Fleshly Body Realm, not representing everything."

"Yes, he is very strong, but in the Ten Thousand Ages History, are Heavenly Prides still few?"

"Only those who can endure to the end and stand at the pinnacle truly count."

Su Youkui spoke again, still unwilling to accept.

Her opinion once again gained everyone's approval; it was not that the present Celestial Sons thought Lu Zhangsheng lacked qualification, but merely that they felt the opponent was too young and had only just begun cultivation, moreover lacking real combat experience—simply put, having name without substance.

Be aware, among the present powers' finest, that group of Heavenly Prides

"Which of them did not come straight from battle? This is the fundamental reason they deem it unfair."

They themselves have endured hardship and expended various energies, yet Lu Zhangsheng directly surpassed them—anyone would have objections.

Thus, finally, the First Celestial Son Meng Que Xie rose, gazed at the crowd, looked around, and then slowly spoke.

"To become our Celestial Son, bearing the title of Taiyi, we have no objection and can all agree."

"But we must obtain approval, at least passing this test between you and me."

"Even if the Holy Lord and Supreme Elders inquire into guilt, it remains so."

Having said this, his meaning is already very simple.

We can acknowledge Lu Zhangsheng's identity, but at least we must conquer those present.

"Not bad, the ceremony to appoint a Celestial Son is precisely an opportunity." A Celestial Son stood up, expressing strong agreement.

Moreover, they indicated that it could be raised during the appointment ceremony; in other words, their true aim.

"It is not hostility; we merely wish to test whether this one-year-old Lu Zhangsheng possesses such qualification."

This opinion was also unanimously approved by the present Celestial Sons and Saint Maidens.

Since they are dissatisfied and feel it unfair, they must certainly raise it.

Days.

It's set for the day of the investiture; as for now, there's no rush.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Purple Fairy and Lu Zhangsheng's carriage had already entered the Taiyi Sacred Land.

The one responsible for welcoming them was none other than Lan Xuan, who had now become an Elder.

Upon seeing Lu Zhangsheng,

Lan Xuan was extremely delighted and quite happy, after all, in other words, this was her own nephew.

Of course, more importantly, she felt that, although clearly just a one-year-old child,

but inside his body, there seemed to be a terrifying power hidden.

This was unprecedented.

It left her astonished.

Upon hearing Senior Sister Purple Fairy explain that this little nephew had already reached the Shentong Realm and was even at great completion, she was utterly shocked, her face filled with disbelief.

Because there aren't many people who are born sages like Lu Zhangsheng, aside from the core members of the Lu Family.

And besides the Empress and a few others, even the high-ranking figures of the Taiyi Sacred Land were unaware.

Moreover, the recent incident concerning the Fleshly Body Realm's Heavenly Dao Stele.

Everyone thought.

This little Divine Son of the Lu Family was, like many other children, starting his cultivation from scratch.

After all, being born a sage is too rare; it is only recorded in the Ancient Books.

Now, Lan Xuan heard that Lu Zhangsheng had directly reached great completion in the Shentong Realm.

And he was only one year old, which indeed left her unable to stay calm.

"This child, his future achievements surpassing his father's are merely a matter of time."

In the end, she could only utter such a sigh, and indeed did not know what to say.

After calming down a little, Lan Xuan said: "Alright, Master and the various Elder Ancestors are waiting in the Taiyi Sacred Temple—hurry over, don't waste time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhangsheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he faintly began to anticipate.

Last time he came, he simply did not enter the Taiyi Sacred Temple.

Therefore, he had never signed in there.

But this time,

it seemed he had such an opportunity.
