Chapter 196: Holy Son Appointment
Chapter 196: Holy Son Appointment
"Su Zhan, we've arrived!"
Tang Wujian didn't immediately step in. Instead, he whispered, "Su Zhan, when you meet the Holy Master later, try to speak as little as possible."
Su Zhan was puzzled, "Why?"
Tang Wujian gave him a glance.
Even Ye Kuang was angered to the point of vomiting blood by you! I've also had enough of your antics! Why you should speak less? Don't you have any awareness of the situation?
After grumbling internally for a while, Tang Wujian shook his head, "Forget it, it's not a big deal. Just follow me inside."
Although Su Zhan's way of speaking was quite irritating, his talent was undeniable. The Holy Master senior brother probably wouldn't want to risk damaging our Heavenly Profound Holy Land's strongest genius in the last ten thousand years.
Maybe he'll just have to endure some anger.
Speaking of which, I wonder if the Holy Master senior brother will be so furious upon seeing such a monstrous genius snatched away by me that he wants to spit blood? Hahaha!
With these thoughts in mind, Tang Wujian revealed a satisfied smile and led Su Zhan towards the main hall.
The Xuantian Grand Hall didn't have a main gate. Instead, there was a massive light screen, concealing the view inside.
Once they stepped into the light screen, Su Zhan finally got a full view of the Xuantian Grand Hall.
It wasn't much different from a regular palace hall, except that the spiritual energy here was dense, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Looking back, as he expected, he could clearly see the outside from within.
"Tang Elder, why have you come?"
The Holy Master of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, the most powerful figure in the entire Tianxuan Empire and one of the strongest in the Southern Territory, was seated on the main seat above in a golden robe. He was discussing matters with the five senior Saint Kings below. When he saw Tang Wujian enter, he appeared slightly surprised.
The other five senior Saint Kings also showed some confusion.
"Tang Elder, didn't your last visit to the Xuantian Grand Hall happen several decades ago?"
"Tang Senior Brother, you don't manage any affairs in the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. Why have you come here?"
"Tang Elder, your timing is perfect! A few of us are currently discussing the candidate for the next hundred years' Holy Son with the Holy Master. You know about my disciple Liu Canglang, right? He possesses the Divine Body! His talent is unparalleled. He's the perfect choice for the next Holy Son! I ask that Tang Elder help me talk to the Holy Master about this!"
"Nonsense! That Liu Canglang of yours has the lowest-grade Earth Elemental Divine Body. Apart from absorbing the earth's deep spiritual veins, his cultivation speed might be slightly faster, but it's practically useless. His potential is nowhere near my disciple Chen Luo's Extreme Flame Divine Body!"
"To be honest, being a Divine Body isn't the sole criterion for evaluating talent. My disciple Luo Bei, although not a Divine Body, possesses extraordinary comprehension abilities. He advances rapidly in various martial arts, and he is even an Innate Spirit Eye wielder, capable of discerning weaknesses in enemies. His combat power far exceeds that of ordinary warriors! Doesn't he deserve to become the Holy Son?"
"Enough, enough!"
Seeing that the elders were about to argue again, the Holy Master Mo Wentian felt a headache. He turned to Tang Wujian, "Tang Elder, tell us the purpose of your visit."
"Holy Master, I've also come for the matter of selecting the Holy Son."
"You're also here for this?" Mo Wentian furrowed his brows, "Don't you not have any disciples or followers? Why are you joining in the commotion?"
"Hehe! That was in the past! Now, I have one!"
Tang Wujian looked quite smug and said to Su Zhan, "Su Zhan, you haven't met the Holy Master and the senior elders yet."
"I am Su Zhan, I greet the Holy Master and the senior elders." Su Zhan bowed respectfully.
"Tang Elder, you've taken a disciple?"
"Last time, there was a genius with an Ice Frost Divine Body and the talent of the Winter Bloodline who wanted to be your disciple, but you declined. Now, you actually accepted a disciple?"
"Su Zhan? I haven't heard of this name before before! Moreover, his cultivation level seems a bit too low at the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm."
"Being accepted as a disciple by Tang Senior Brother must mean he's a genius. However, Tang Senior Brother, your disciple is only at the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. When we appoint a Holy Son, aren't they usually at the Sixth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm? Maybe you should reconsider."
"You're right, Tang Elder, don't just join in the commotion."
Several elders shook their heads, advising him.
Mo Wentian also frowned slightly, "Tang Elder, for the position of the Holy Son, unless an exceptionally remarkable genius appears, our Holy Land only appoints one every hundred years. And it must be a disciple of the Holy Land. Is your disciple a disciple of the Holy Land? Why haven't I heard of this kind of impressive talent before?
"You're not trying to vie for the position of Holy Son with a disciple who hasn't even become a disciple of our Holy Land yet, are you?"
"Holy Master is jesting. How could I deceive everyone like that?"
Tang Wujian chuckled, "Su Zhan has just passed the second round of the Core Disciple assessment and has become a disciple of our Holy Land. He then accepted me as his master. Is it too much for me to bring my disciple to vie for the position of Holy Son?"
"Well" Mo Wentian hesitated, "How is his talent? Does he have the qualifications to vie for the position of Holy Son?"
As soon as this topic came up, Tang Wujian became excited.
"My disciple Su Zhan possesses an incredibly powerful Divine Body, which combines the forces of the Great Sun, Bright Moon, and Stars, and he carries the Dragon Vein! He specializes in the cultivation of the sixteen paths, peak-grade in five paths and high-grade in the other ten!"
"His Sword Dao talent summons golden sword shadows that pierce through the sky! Supreme talent! If he is not qualified, then I ask you, who in the world is qualified?!"
A Divine Body formed from the powers of the Great Sun, Bright Moon, and Stars? Dragon Vein?
Peak-grade in five paths and high-grade excellence in ten paths, and a transcendent Sword Dao talent?
The five Elders at the Saint King Realm and the Holy Master Mo Wentian were all taken aback by Tang Wujian's words.
Subsequently, doubt appeared on their faces.
"Tang Elder, are you exaggerating a bit? A Divine Body that combines the powers of the Great Sun, Bright Moon, and Stars? What kind of Divine Body is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
"I've heard of the Dragon Vein physique, but it's even rarer than a Divine Body! Are you saying this kid has a combination of Divine Body and Dragon Vein physique? Throughout the generations, has there ever been a Holy Son who reached such a level?"
"Tang Senior Brother, we can overlook his talent in cultivation, considering him a once-in-a-millennium peerless genius. But the issue is, sixteen path talent, high-grade in the ten paths, peak-grade in five paths, and there was one more, what was it supreme! Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
"Right, what the heck is a supreme talent?"
Several Elders at the Saint King Realm started to speak one after another, wearing expressions of disbelief.
Mo Wentian also coughed lightly, "Ahem, Tang Elder, please tell the truth. Don't exaggerate too much. The appointment of our Holy Land's Holy Son is not a joke!"
It's not that they didn't trust Tang Wujian, but Tang Wujian's words were just too darn exaggerated!
Especially that thing about a supreme talent. No one has heard of it. Who the heck would believe it?
"Su Zhan, reveal your Divine Body!" Tang Wujian had long anticipated this scene, so he remained unperturbed. He smiled at Su Zhan.
"Alright." Su Zhan nodded.
Although he had just activated his Divine Body with a sword strike in the morning, it had been a very short duration, so his Divine Body didn't require much time to recover. At this moment, he only needed to reveal it, without truly unleashing its divine power. He had no worries.
In the next moment, he directly activated his Divine Body!
Brilliant light emanated from his body, with the golden sun, the clear moon, and the starry night all appearing simultaneously above the space of the grand hall!
The Saint King Realm elders who had been questioning Su Zhan's talent focused their gaze on the Divine Body phenomenon emanating from him. Sensing the terrifying divine might contained within it, which far exceeded that of a typical Divine Body, they all stood there in shock!
