The vigorous outer door competition finally came to an end.
A total of tens of thousands of people participated in this competition, but in the end, only over seventy disciples were successfully promoted to the inner sect.
The success of the promotion is met with elation and high spirits.
Those who failed are sad and unhappy.
Some people secretly encouraged themselves, saying that if they couldn't be promoted this time, they would wait for the coming year. As long as they worked hard, there would be hope in the end.
Others lost hope and decided to give up.
Among these people, some either left the Holy Land to establish a small force or returned to their families to train their descendants, hoping that their offspring would have some talent and could join the Holy Land in the future.
There are also some who have become deacon disciples stationed outside the Holy Land, serving in various locations.
Apart from that, what happened in this competition has also sparked eager discussions among many people, especially regarding the geniuses who emerged during this competition, who are even more talked about.
One of the most noteworthy is Gu Xuan!
In the highly anticipated arena, he defeated Chen Shaofeng with brilliant sword qi, leaving a very deep impression on the spectators.
Afterwards, he was invited by several elders.
Many people are speculating.
Perhaps it won't be long before Gu Xuan becomes a true disciple.
In fact, their guess was correct.
On the second day after the end of the competition, the top ten warriors in the outer sect competition were receiving rewards from the sect.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the depths of the Holy Land, in the hall of the headmaster on the floating land of the sacred mountain, a loud bell suddenly rang.
The sound of the bell was mighty and powerful, like the divine sound of the avenue, resounding continuously and shaking the entire region.
Subsequently, from the sky above the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, a dazzling divine light suddenly appeared, illuminating the infinite void. Even from millions of miles away, it could be clearly seen.
Within this divine light, a water mirror appeared, clearly reflecting various scenes.
"The bell rang in the early days, and even the Great Sun Survey was performed... Did something major happen?!"
Countless warriors were shocked when they saw this scene.
The Bell of Absolute Beginning is the core temple of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, a bronze bell that hangs in the Palace of Absolute Beginning.
It is said to be an extremely terrifying Great Sacred Artifact!
It is usually not used lightly and will only be rung when a major event occurs.
The method of surveying the sky with the Great Sun is employed when the Holy Land announces something significant to the world.
Once cast out, the reflection of the water mirror covers a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Anyone who looks up can clearly see the scenes reflected inside.
Now that these two phenomena appear simultaneously, it naturally means that something big is happening.
Therefore, everyone felt uneasy in their hearts, fearing something bad.
"Don't worry!"
"Although both the palace bell and the Great Sun Survey have appeared, if there were an emergency, the sound would usually be rapid. However, these three sounds are extremely long... In addition to the reflection in the water mirror, it clearly shows the Palace of the Beginning!"
"This is the palace used by the Holy Land in the beginning to receive foreign guests or to canonize the Holy Son or the True Inheritance!"
"Perhaps a new true disciple has been added to the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning!"
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a warrior familiar with the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning explained.
As soon as the words were spoken, many warriors calmed down, but an uproar immediately followed.
The Holy Land of Absolute Beginning wants to canonize true disciples?
Many were shocked.
Although he is not the Holy Son of the Beginning, the status of a true disciple is also extremely noble.
Everyone knows that the selection of True Inheritance in the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning is extremely strict, and only the real Tianjiao can be ranked among them—not to mention, there are currently a total of 100,000 disciples in the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, but the combined number of new and old True Inheritance does not exceed a hundred people.
This is evident.
"It seems that there is another top genius in my Dongwang Daoyu!"
"I don't know who this person is or what kind of demeanor he possesses!"
"Let all the disciples in the sect immediately raise their heads to see who the new True Inheritance is, so as not to cross paths with him in the future and make enemies!"
Many people were emotional.
Some clan and sect forces even instructed their young disciples to watch closely, memorize the appearance of the new true disciple, and avoid accidentally provoking him in the future, which could bring disaster to their clan or sect.
While the outside world was still buzzing with excitement, there was an even greater uproar within the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning.
After hearing the bell, countless disciples immediately turned their attention to the water mirror.
In the water mirror, a figure was emerging to accept the canonization ceremony.
"It's Senior Brother Gu Xuan!"
"He really became a true disciple!"
Upon seeing this figure, many outer disciples exclaimed.
A look of envy appeared in their eyes.
Although there had been speculation before, it was just speculation after all. Seeing it with their own eyes naturally left them in shock.
At the same time, many external sects watching the water mirror also took note of Gu Xuan's appearance, even creating portraits to spread throughout the world.
...
Not to mention the commotion from the outside world.
At this moment, Gu Xuan was receiving the ceremony of being promoted to True Inheritance in front of the Taichu Palace.
The Holy Land of Absolute Beginning has a long history, and the ceremony for canonizing a true disciple is naturally grand and quite elaborate.
However, he remained calm throughout the process and completed the ceremonies with seriousness.
Finally, after a moment, the voice rang out.
"Licheng!"
"From now on, Gu Xuan has been recognized as the true disciple of my Holy Land of Absolute Beginning. He may inherit the Seven Laws and Twelve Classics of the Supreme Dao Collection, the core of the Holy Land, and has been elected Yifeng as his dojo. This will be announced to the world, and the entire realm shall celebrate!"
The mighty and majestic voice resounded like the divine sound of the avenue, spreading for thousands of miles.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The bell of the beginning of time rang again, echoing throughout the land.
Under this majestic bell, countless outer sect and inner sect disciples, as well as elders, all bowed in unison.
The difference was that the outer and inner sects gave great salutes, while the elders and other true disciples only performed a formal acknowledgment.
After all, being a true disciple is more than just a title!
It signifies that from this moment on, one is qualified to inherit the core Taoist treasures of the Holy Land!
This is nearly the core existence of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning!
When he succeeds in his cultivation in the future, he may even have the opportunity to inherit the position of headmaster.
Even if he doesn't become the headmaster, becoming a powerful elder is absolutely unavoidable.
It can be said that a true disciple represents the heritage of the Holy Land and is a pillar for the future!
"You are welcome; please rise!" Gu Xuan said, bowing in return.
"Thank you, Gu Xuan!" many disciples expressed their gratitude one after another, bowing again before rising.
Thus, this marked the conclusion of Gu Xuan's canonization ceremony as a true disciple.
