Countless big shots have left the Grand Sky Sect.
Although the Millennium Grand Festival has ended, its impact has not disappeared.
First, the powerhouses from all major sects across the world announced their seclusion. After all, during this Millennium Grand Festival, many received the Holy Soul inheritance, and there's much to comprehend quickly, as it could lead to new breakthroughs.
In previous years, after each festival, the righteous path and the Demonic Sect would have a duel. But this time, with everyone going into seclusion, even the Demonic Sect chose to retreat.
So, forget about a damn duel; the world is at peace.
If dueling was an unwritten agreement among the parties, then picking faults with the festival is something everyone does.
In the past ten festivals, except for the first, every festival, regardless of who hosted it or how well it was done, was criticized.
A hundred years ago, the Cloud Soar Sect's nine-hundred-year festival was as good as it could get, but Ling Su was criticized for so long that he almost got depressed.
No matter how good or bad, someone would always criticize.
But this time, the Millennium Grand Festival... everyone, righteous or evil, praised it.There's no way... how could you criticize this Millennium Grand Festival?
Say Chu Xinghe messed around?
Say Chu Xinghe used red to turn the Millennium Grand Festival into a Millennium Joy Festival?
Are you crazy?
Even the damn Holy Souls from a thousand years ago were invited by Chu Xinghe... this means that Chu Xinghe's festival was directly recognized by the sages of a thousand years ago.
Even the sages recognized it, what reason do you have to criticize Chu Xinghe?
Don't you see even the Cloud Soar Sect is silent?
Moreover, even without mentioning the Holy Soul, this time Chu Xinghe used the Millennium Grand Festival to revive the spiritual energy of the Blazing Sun Continent, which is an immense merit.
Everyone in the world benefited from the revival of spiritual energy.
Those who might have had poor talent and no qualifications for cultivation now might have the chance to cultivate under the nourishment of revived spiritual energy...
Ordinary people who might have lived only eighty or ninety years could now live an extra ten or eight years under the support of strong spiritual energy.
So, from any perspective, the Millennium Grand Festival is not just a success... it's a major event to be recorded in the history of the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
And the name Chu Xinghe will naturally be recorded as well.
Mentioning Chu Xinghe, everyone in the world sighs.
Previously, most people had only heard of Chu Xinghe.
Things like Chu Xinghe's unparalleled talent... Chu Xinghe being the number one of the younger generation... Chu Xinghe's virtue...
But good things are one thing, everyone will have some bad things spread about them.
For example, not everyone knows the benefits Chu Xinghe's previous actions brought to the Grand Sky Sect.
Many uninformed people even thought Chu Xinghe was just messing around.
Some even suggested that Chu Xinghe might be Gu Mingchao's illegitimate child?
Otherwise, why would Chu Xinghe act so recklessly and the Grand Sky Sect not react at all?
But after this Millennium Grand Festival, all doubts disappeared.
Chu Xinghe single-handedly opened a new era for everyone in the world, and some even proposed naming the new era the Xinghe Era!
Moreover, Chu Xinghe not only opened a new era single-handedly, but he also gave the Martial God inheritance to Gu Mingchao in front of everyone, shocking the world.
The Grand Sky Sect didn't receive much inheritance this time, and many thought the sect would decline after the festival.
After all, with everyone else strengthening, the Grand Sky Sect got nothing, so wasn't it pitiful?
But no one expected that after the Holy Souls finished passing on their inheritance, they would unleash a big move, and the scene of them forcibly transforming Chu Xinghe was too shocking.
Then the Holy Souls enhanced Chu Xinghe's cultivation level, but faced with such an opportunity, Chu Xinghe willingly gave it to Gu Mingchao.
Some say Chu Xinghe was too foolish... such an opportunity was too rare.
Even if Chu Xinghe's cultivation level was low, and the inheritance's power couldn't make him a Martial God directly, he could at least become a Martial Emperor, right?
Even a Half-Step Martial God wasn't impossible, and with the ability to transform, once reaching that realm, with some effort, could Chu Xinghe become the first Martial God?
So, was Chu Xinghe's decision a bit too foolish?
But others have different opinions, believing Chu Xinghe did the right thing... If Chu Xinghe absorbed all that cultivation, he could become a Martial Emperor, but when could he become a Martial God?
But giving the power to Gu Mingchao was no problem, as Gu Mingchao received the inheritance and became the world's first Martial God, making the Grand Sky Sect, which received no Holy Soul inheritance, the biggest winner!
In the Grand Sky Hall of the Grand Sky Sect, all elders and above gathered.
Sect Master Gu Mingchao sat at the head, with countless elders on either side, and Chu Xinghe stood calmly in the center.
Everyone's eyes were on Xinghe, and at this moment, whether it was the Sect Master or any elder, their gazes were filled with affection.
Regardless of how the Millennium Grand Festival turned out, Xinghe's act of giving the inheritance power to the Sect Master, helping him break through to Martial Emperor and step into the Martial God realm, becoming the first Martial God in a thousand years, solidified the Grand Sky Sect's position as the top sect like a mountain. Just this alone made everyone sigh that Xinghe was truly a good child.
The Great Elder's face was once again beaming like a chrysanthemum.
Look... this is Xinghe... faced with such a great opportunity, how many young people could act like Xinghe?
Chu Xinghe didn't know how the Great Elder felt, he only knew that the whole thing had nothing to do with him... it was all the Compass of Misfortune manipulating everything...
It wasn't that Chu Xinghe didn't want to reveal the truth, but the Compass of Misfortune wouldn't allow it.
If he spoke recklessly, the Compass of Misfortune might reverse things, and who could guarantee that a meteor wouldn't fall on the Grand Sky Mountain Range in the next second?
So he could do nothing but remain silent.
Gu Mingchao gazed at Xinghe below and finally spoke slowly: "The merit of Xinghe this time needs no further words from me, as everyone knows in their hearts. Today, I decree that Xinghe be promoted to the Chief Disciple of our Grand Sky Sect, entering the Grand Sky..."
Before Sect Master Gu Mingchao could finish, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Sect Master, you mustn't!" The Great Elder jumped out anxiously.
Not only the Great Elder, but other elders also spoke up.
"Sect Master, the position of Chief Disciple is significant and should be considered carefully..."
"Indeed... Xinghe didn't do much this time... I think we should forget about the Chief Disciple position..."
"Exactly, Xinghe is just an elite disciple, promoting him directly to Chief Disciple might cause discontent among other disciples... I think a core disciple reward would suffice!"
"Elder He is right, a core disciple is enough, and if not, adding a reward of ten thousand spirit stones should be enough!"
The Great Elder nodded in agreement with the other elders, indicating that they made valid points.
Gu Mingchao looked at the many elders below with a face full of helplessness, thinking, are you guys even speaking human language?
Don't you have any idea what Xinghe has done?
Saying Xinghe didn't do much? Xinghe elevated me to the position of Martial God, and you call that nothing?
And Elder He, you say that promoting Xinghe, an elite disciple, directly to Chief Disciple might cause discontent among other disciples?
I think it's you, Elder He, who has objections, right? Which other disciple has objections? Let them come forward, and I, Martial God Gu Mingchao, will personally confront them today!
And Elder Yu, you're getting on in years, do you have no shame? A core disciple? A reward of ten thousand spirit stones? Do you think I, Martial God Gu Mingchao, don't know what little schemes you're plotting?
You just don't want Xinghe to enter the Grand Sky Palace, because if Xinghe doesn't enter, you old guys think you have a chance to make Xinghe your disciple... but have you considered whether the Great Elder would agree?
Your abacus beads are practically hitting me in the face!
But today, Gu Mingchao doesn't plan to give up so easily, I am Martial God Gu Mingchao! A Martial God!
Gu Mingchao, without a second thought, declared that he was the first Martial God in a thousand years, and was his first order going to be defied by you old guys?
But this Martial God title was useful outside, but in front of the elders of the Grand Sky Sect, it really didn't hold much weight.
The Great Elder immediately stated that while the Sect Master was indeed the first Martial God, he was also the Great Elder of the Grand Sky Sect, and if the Sect Master insisted on using his position to pressure them, they would have no choice but to exercise their right to remove the Sect Master!
Other elders echoed that the Great Elder was right.
The Grand Sky Sect had a rule that if the Sect Master's actions were too excessive, and over seventy percent of the elders, along with the Great Elder, impeached the Sect Master, they could directly remove him.
Gu Mingchao was so angry that he unleashed his Martial God pressure... but in the Grand Sky Hall, the many elders didn't budge an inch against the Martial God pressure!
Today, if the Sect Master proposed a full-scale war with the Demonic Sect, they would be the first to support it, but if he wanted Xinghe to become the Chief Disciple and his disciple, he was dreaming!
Sect Master Gu Mingchao's first battle after becoming a Martial God ended in failure...
In the end, because of the successful Millennium Grand Festival, Chu Xinghe was promoted to core disciple and rewarded with ten thousand spirit stones...
When this news spread, disciples from various palaces were left confused.
What the heck, another ten thousand spirit stones reward for Senior Brother Xinghe? He hasn't even collected the last ten thousand spirit stones yet!
As for Senior Brother Xinghe's core disciple status? No one cared about that... could a disciple status determine Senior Brother Xinghe's position in the Grand Sky Sect?
Haven't you seen what Ma Liang, an outer sect disciple, does every day?
It's said that a few days ago, Ma Liang, an outer sect disciple, scolded a personal disciple who had done something wrong until they cried, and that personal disciple was punished by Ma Liang to meditate in reflection for a month.
Faced with the punishment from outer sect disciple Ma Liang, the personal disciple didn't even dare to argue back, only saying that Senior Brother Ma's teachings were right, and that they would go meditate in reflection immediately...
So, when an outer sect disciple is already this outrageous... does it matter what kind of disciple my Senior Brother Xinghe is?
