Under the witness of over a hundred thousand people, Chen Jiuyang ascended to the position of Holy Son of the True Demon Sect.
Everyone was convinced.
Ten thousand people celebrated in unison!
Chen Jiuyang had witnessed such scenes many times before, and they did not stir even the slightest ripple within him.
His heart was currently set on breaking into the Holy Land and rescuing his wife and daughter.
The myriad splendors of the outside world held no appeal to him.
Afterward.
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect and a group of elders chanted in unison, "Present the Holy Artifact!"
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect looked at Chen Jiuyang, "Holy Son Qianyang has now been installed and enjoys the fortune of our Holy Sect. He shall receive our Holy Sect's inheritance and meet the Supreme Ancestor."
The armless middle-aged man from the Crippled Elder Village could only guide him into Kunlun, but could not save his wife and daughter.
Chen Jiuyang could only rely on this Demonic Dao Ancestor.
"Rumble!"
An indescribable, sinister, dark, and terrifying power descended upon the scene.
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, along with the Grand Elder and the Holy Maiden, descended upon the Myriad Races Blood Clan.
Thick black mist that appeared out of nowhere enveloped the entire Myriad Races Blood Seat.
To take the position of Holy Son and fully enjoy the fortune of the True Demon Sect, one must accept the Demonic Dao inheritance.
An ancient, simple, worn, and battle-scarred ancient scroll appeared from the void.
Then, the scroll slowly unfurled.
"Rumble!!!"
It was a sea of boundless darkness filled with deathly stillness, with constant surging waves, dense dark clouds, and incessant lightning strikes, as terrifying as the end of days.
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect's expression was solemn as he explained, "Our Sacred Dao Ancestor's cultivation is extremely high. He cannot remain in the mortal world. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, they must enter our Sacred Dao forbidden land, the Chongming Sea!"
"This is a secret of our Sacred Dao. Of the nine veins of the Holy Sect, only the Sect Master, the Grand Elder, and the current Holy Son and Holy Maiden are privy to it."
Chen Jiuyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had gambled correctly.
For the Demonic Dao to have coexisted with the Five Great Holy Lands for so long and to have passed down its legacy to this day, there must be a forbidden land behind it. Otherwise, the Chen Jiuyang of the illusionary deductions would not have entered the Demonic Dao.
After the scroll unfurled.
"Whoosh!"
Thousands of lotus soul lamps suddenly lit up above the deathly still sea.
The lamplight illuminated the dark clouds above the deathly still sea, reflecting ancient and terrifying figures akin to demon gods. Even a sliver of their aura leaking through the scroll was almost unbearable.
This was the foundation of the Demonic Dao's eternal existence!
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect said, "Normally, our Sacred Dao Ancestors are in slumber. Even after the Dragon Country's revival, they remain in slumber. Holy Son Qianyang, it is unknown which ancestor your strength will awaken..."
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect's expression and tone held a hint of anticipation.
He waited quietly.
The soul lamp carrying Chen Jiuyang's sliver of true spirit suddenly shot its light to the heavens, piercing through the clouds.
"Rumble!!!"
An aura of near world-ending destruction was suddenly leaked. A terrifying figure within the clouds slowly awoke and descended from the clouds.
It was a figure shrouded in black mist, with a vast, cold, terrifying aura, filled with killing intent.
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect's body trembled, his expression filled with excitement, "Greetings, Ancestor 'Ba An'!"
As the Sect Master, he was required to remember every Grand Ancestor within the Holy Sect upon his succession.
This Ancestor 'Ba An' was a terrifying ancestor renowned even within the Sacred Dao. His cultivation had already reached an immeasurable level. It had been many years since this ancestor had appeared, so long that even books and jade slips had disappeared.
However, the inheritance of the Holy Sect Master contained information about this terrifying ancestor.
'Ba An's' eyes were like stars, his aura vast, cold, and terrifying. A chilling voice sounded, "What has awakened me? Could it be that our Holy Sect is facing a world-ending calamity?"
"Not at all!" The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect cupped his hands, took a deep breath, but his words were still tinged with uncontrollable excitement, "Reporting to Ancestor, our Holy Sect has a new bloodline, the Holy Son, who has been born. We are presenting the Holy Artifact to bestow the inheritance upon Holy Son Qianyang, and it was the soul lamp that awakened the Ancestor!"
"Hmm?"
'Ba An's' terrifying gaze traversed infinite distances, crossing the scroll, and descended upon Chen Jiuyang.
"Rumble!!!"
With just a glance, Chen Jiuyang's body trembled, and he could barely suppress the killing intent and hatred in his heart.
This will was immediately perceived by the Sect Master and Grand Elder beside him, startling them.
Did this newly appointed Holy Son dare to make a move against the Ancestor?
"Hmm? A Holy Son's inheritance has awakened him. Let me take a look."
'Ba An' had been asleep for an unknown period. He did not expect that the ascension of a Holy Son could awaken him. Even after living for a long time, he could not help but feel a trace of surprise, but this trace of emotion quickly vanished without a trace. He sized up Chen Jiuyang, as if he could see through Chen Jiuyang from every angle, from beginning to end:
"Descendant of an immortal? Inheritor of the Human Emperor's path, awakener of the Golden Age, Pure Yang Sacred Body, the one entangled in the love tribulation of the Heavenly Charm Holy Maiden."
"Hmm, very good."
One by one, the terms tumbled from 'Ba An's' mouth, and then he said, "During my slumber, I found a good seedling for our Sacred Dao. Excellent, you deserve a reward."
This brought joy to the expressions of the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, the Grand Elder, and others.
"Many thanks, Ancestor!!!"
Ancestor 'Ba An' looked at Chen Jiuyang again and said, "Your talent and combat prowess have awakened me. According to the rules of the Holy Sect, I will grant you an inheritance. Holy Son Qianyang, what do you desire?"
Chen Jiuyang knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and said:
"Ancestor 'Ba An', above all, your disciple has an impolite request. My wife and daughter were abducted by the pseudo-Dao Kunlun. My daughter has even become their key to ascending to the immortal realm. For such matters, I wish I could slaughter all the pseudo-Dao pigs and dogs, but my strength is weak, truly a waste. I wish to ask Ancestor to intervene and rescue my wife and daughter."
Ancestor 'Ba An's' expression was indifferent, showing no emotional reaction, "Your fortune is extremely prosperous. This is the first of your three calamities and nine tribulations. If you overcome this calamity, you may be on par with me in the future. This is a great karmic connection, worthy of a trade, but I alone cannot ensure the rescue of your wife and daughter from the pseudo-Dao pigs and dogs."
Chen Jiuyang immediately added, "Ancestor 'Ba An', the senior from the front path of the Crippled Elder Village will also make a move."
"Hmm?" Ancestor 'Ba An' looked at Chen Jiuyang, "Let me see which inheritor of the Human Emperor's path it is."
Ancestor 'Ba An's' gaze traversed the infinite distance of space, causing ripples to appear in the space.
"Rumble!!!"
A scene appeared behind Chen Jiuyang, which was actually the scene of the forbidden land of the Crippled Elder Village.
In the Crippled Elder Village.
The armless middle-aged man, dressed in coarse linen, was watching the chickens and ducks in the enclosure. Suddenly, he turned his neck, and his eyes erupted with world-shattering power, as if a world-ending force descended upon this space.
The armless middle-aged man met 'Ba An's' gaze.
Only after seeing Chen Jiuyang did the armless middle-aged man's world-ending terrifying aura abruptly retract.
Then, the image was cut off.
Ancestor 'Ba An's' sinister and terrifying eyes revealed a hint of surprise once more. In one day, a Heavenly Realm junior had caused him to be surprised multiple times, something rarely seen even in his long years. However, with such extreme fortune, it was normal for him to have the opportunity to be on par with him in the future.
