Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Young Master of the Divine Water Palace
"Me?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyao dared not respond.
Although she had previously held the position of Sect Leader, if Lingyun Sect truly became a Sacred Land...
She didn’t believe she had the ability or other talents to take on the role of the Deputy Saint Master.
"Then I shall rely on Senior Sister."
Ji Chen didn’t give her the chance to refuse, smiling as he said, "Let someone release the news later. One month from now, Lingyun Sect will establish itself as a Sacred Land."
"As for the position of Saint Heir, would the Young Master like to have a nominal title?" Lu Daoyi suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Ji Chen stroked his chin, "It wouldn’t hurt to have a nominal title for now, and I can transfer it when a suitable candidate arises later."
Once the matter was settled, the news spread rapidly that very day.
Many were astonished but also felt it was expected.
"Lingyun Sect is indeed going to be established as a Sacred Land."
"After all, the Hongmeng Body has attained body sanctification and is one of the Saints of the present age, truly enough to allow Lingyun Sect to become a Sacred Land."
"Who is the Saint Master? Is it Ji Chen himself?"
"It doesn’t seem so; for now, the previous Sect Leader Fang Qingyao is temporarily taking the role of ’Deputy Saint Master,’ while Ji Chen is named Saint Heir."
Within just a few days, the news had completely spread.
Not only in Celestial Martial and Daoxuan realms, but even in some teahouses and taverns, many cultivators who stopped for a rest began to discuss this.
Purple Cloud Sect.
Beside a waterfall.
Liu Qingcheng, in a white dress, sat cross-legged.
She appeared much more mature than in the past, possessing a mature beauty full of charm; time had smoothed out her youthful edges.
Upon learning that Lingyun Sect would establish itself as a Sacred Land, Liu Qingcheng couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.
Once again, she recalled the scene from years ago when she went to Lingyun Sect to break off an engagement.
Back then, the difference between her and Ji Chen was like heaven and earth; they belonged to completely different worlds.
One was a frivolous Young Sect Leader, and the other was a renowned prodigy in the Profound Domain, the senior disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, a future prospective Saintess.
In terms of strength, talent, status, or position, she surpassed Ji Chen by a wide margin.
However, only a few years later.
Now, their situations have completely reversed.
Ji Chen has become an unattainable existence, a young king famed throughout the Daoxuan Star Realm, an almost invincible Saint of the present age.
Lingyun Sect has risen along with him, and unknowingly, its overall strength has far surpassed Purple Cloud Sect, even establishing itself as a Sacred Land before Purple Cloud Sect could!
This was something Liu Qingcheng of the past could never have anticipated.
...
Time passed, and a month quickly went by.
Yang City was now a gathering place for countless influential figures, all here to witness Lingyun Sect’s establishment as a Sacred Land.
This establishment attracted the attention of countless forces and cultivators.
Half a month ago, Yang City was almost already full, and now, with the day of establishment approaching, there was hardly any room left.
Not only from Celestial Martial but from various realms of the Daoxuan Star Realm, innumerable cultivators came to witness.
Because when a Sacred Land is established, phenomena descend from the sky, attracting countless Spiritual Qi and laws.
In such an environment, everyone could gain some benefit and enlightenment, more or less.
Moreover, some came to see Ji Chen.
As one of the leading figures of the younger generation, a Saint in his early twenties, many wished to witness his demeanor in person.
The news of this event, spread for a month, had already shocked the entire Daoxuan, and countless heroes and talents from all realms came, all focused on Yang City.
Even rare-to-see figures like human Saint Heirs, Ancient Race Crown Princes, and even Ancient Kings and Saint Master Level individuals could be sighted in Yang City these days.
"It’s said that there is a young king’s gathering in Yang City today, apparently organized by some prodigious youths from Celestial Martial, aiming to exchange amicably with Outer Realm geniuses."
"After all, Yang City is currently a chaotic blend of figures, attracting countless renowned individuals, especially the young ones, who are proud and unwilling to submit to each other. In recent days, there have already been many battles among top geniuses, so gathering might allow everyone to sit down and talk calmly, which would be beneficial."
In a garden in the north of the city, many young people gathered here, all talents from various realms attending the gathering.
Occasionally, a figure renowned throughout Daoxuan would appear, causing a considerable stir and attracting much attention.
"Boom!"
In the distant void, suddenly, a fluctuation spread, and countless people were startled, looking towards it.
A golden chariot appeared, pulled by two creatures resembling qilins, arriving above the forest park.
The chariot was resplendent, made of gold and stone, extremely luxurious, indicating that the person within was of an extraordinary background, likely a prominent figure.
"The Young Master of the Divine Water Palace arrives, all idle please quickly make way!"
This voice spread from above, like it contained the power of the Dao, echoing clearly across the sky of Yang City and drawing countless onlookers.
"The Young Master of the Divine Water Palace?"
"Who is that? I haven’t heard of them."
"Oh, I remember now, is it from the ’Celestial Balance Star’ Divine Water Palace?"
"It’s said this power has been hidden for thousands of years, and has only just recently reemerged. Rumor has it they have cultivated a peerless genius with unmatched potential, likely to shake the entire Daoxuan Star Realm in the future."
Some were surprised, seemingly knowing some matters about the Divine Water Palace.
"I’ve also heard something. It’s said this Young Master of the Divine Water Palace is named ’Murong Feng,’ said to be the illegitimate son of the previous Palace Master! Also, this sect is somewhat similar to Kunlun, as it only accepts female disciples."
"Seems like Murong Feng is quite fortunate, born into a sea of flowers," someone said with envy.
"Buzz..."
Amidst the discussions, the golden chariot hovered above Yang City.
Then, more than a dozen figures leapt out, all exquisitely beautiful young women, each strikingly attractive, stirring hearts.
"Welcome, Young Master, to Yang City."
A clear voice sounded, and from the chariot emerged a handsome young man.
He held a folding fan, with an arrogant expression, as if overlooking all beings.
"So this is Yang City? It’s just so-so, with thin Spiritual Qi, not much different from other places in Celestial Martial."
This man was, indeed, Murong Feng. At this moment, he frowned slightly, and continued, "In this environment, I feel my noble body is almost being polluted."
