I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 252 - 204: Xihua Returns to the Sect (3)
Next, two figures slowly emerged in the light—
True Monarch Qian Yuan was surrounded by a faint ink-colored Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Light, his feet stepping on invisible array points, his figure seemed to walk out of a painting, exuding the unique steadiness and ethereality of a Grandmaster of Array Dao.
When landing, a circle of ink-colored array patterns faintly lit up on the floor of the main hall, instantly disappearing into the ground as if they had never appeared.
Chen Xihua beside him was completely different, dressed in a green Sword Robe, stepping out of the void without any extra movement, yet carrying an imposing edge that looked down upon the world.
Even though most of his aura had been restrained, it still made the Golden Core cultivators in the hall feel a sense of trepidation!
Two deep and ethereal Nascent Soul auras swept through the entire main hall like invisible tides, and the previously noisy discussions in the hall abruptly came to a halt!
All the Golden Core cultivators instinctively held their breath, looking with awe towards the center of the hall, even the giants among the veins restrained their smiles, their expressions becoming solemn.
True Monarch Qian Yuan stepped forward, standing on the high platform of the main hall, laughed heartily, and his voice spread through the hall like thunder:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you’ve all heard—today, our Daoist Sect adds another Nascent Soul True Monarch, with the Dao name Xuan Zhao!"
He gestured to Chen Xihua beside him, his tone full of pride:
"This is Xuan Zhao True Monarch!"
As his voice fell, the hall was utterly silent.
Although they had heard of it, seeing this "Xuan generation" cultivator standing on the high platform as a Nascent Soul, a huge wave of shock still surged in everyone’s hearts.
An old late-stage Golden Core cultivator murmured to himself: "Xuan generation... not even three hundred years old... so fast!"
This was the sentiment of almost everyone—three hundred years, for a Golden Core cultivator, might just be the age of reaching late-stage; yet Chen Xihua had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm that countless cultivators dreamed of!
Chen Sheng sat in his seat, looking at his son on the high platform, his eyes full of gratification.
He could clearly feel the condensed Sword Intent around Chen Xihua, an edge that had been honed through countless trials, now finally blooming with dazzling light.
Below the stage, Master Profound Sword of the Sword Vein looked at Chen Xihua, his face full of sighs.
He remembered more than a hundred years ago, when the two had dueled with swords in Daoist Sect’s Small Realm, at that time both were at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation, evenly matched, he even held the upper hand, but only because his killer move was incomplete did it end in a draw.
He had secretly determined afterward that he would completely surpass Chen Xihua in Sword Dao someday. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
But now, he was still stuck in mid-stage Golden Core, struggling to find an opportunity to break through, while Chen Xihua had already become a high-standing Nascent Soul True Monarch, the gap between them like an impassable chasm.
"It truly feels like a lifetime ago..."
Master Profound Sword sighed softly, his heart filled with envy, some loss, and mostly a sense of urgency for his own cultivation.
The moods of other cultivators were varied—some young Golden Core cultivators were full of admiration, viewing Chen Xihua as a model for their cultivation.
Other members of the Xuan generation were inevitably anxious, those Golden Core cultivators whose lifespan was nearing its limit were even more anxious, worried they might never break through to Nascent Soul.
Some elders within the veins began to plan how to establish a good relationship with this newly ascended Nascent Soul True Monarch, to secure more opportunities for their disciples.
Various complex emotions intertwined in the hall, yet all transformed into awe for Chen Xihua and envy for Chen Sheng.
As the atmosphere in the hall gradually calmed, True Monarch Qian Yuan walked to Chen Xihua’s side, using telepathy, and with some apology said:
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Zhao, I sincerely apologize, the other True Monarchs of Daoist Sect are all traveling outside, seeking opportunities."
"I have informed them of your breakthrough via Communication Talisman, and when they return, I will host a grand celebration for you, letting the entire Daoist Sect celebrate you!"
Chen Xihua nodded slightly, also replying through telepathy, in a calm tone: "Fellow Daoist Qian Yuan, no need to be so formal, regarding the celebration, there is no urgency."
