Chapter 564 I serve you as the protector of my Xuanmen, the guardian of my Xuanmen's path.
My God!
The moment all the living beings inside the Lingxiao Palace saw this figure, only these three words remained in their minds.
That sense of submission, originating from the depths of their souls, made them completely unable to control their bodies.
"thump!"
It's unclear who knelt down first.
Then, like dominoes, it started to fall.
The immortals and gods in the main hall were either high-ranking powerful beings or ordinary wandering immortals.
Their knees buckled, and they all knelt heavily on the ground.
Zhen Yuanzi knelt down, and the light of the Earth Book completely subsided.
The Styx Ancestor knelt down, and the phantom images of the two killing swords vanished without a trace.
Even Yu the Great knelt down; the pride of humanity had to bow its head before the will of Heaven.
The twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect, and the disciples of the Western Sect, without exception, all prostrated themselves in worship.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"
The roaring sound, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, converged into a torrent that shot straight into the heavens.
The voice was filled with extreme fervor and awe.
The six sages stood at the very front; they did not kneel, but they all bowed their noble heads.
"Greetings, Master!"
Even the voices of the six sages sounded so humble before the Dao Ancestor.
Haotian and Yaochi had tears in their eyes and ran down from the high platform, kneeling before the imperial throne.
"Disciple Haotian, Yaochi, pays respects to Master!"
They were the Dao Ancestor's former attendants, and their excitement upon seeing their former master was unimaginable.
Of course, what appeared was not the true form of Hongjun Daozu.
The Dao Ancestor is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and his true form cannot be easily moved, much less manifest.
This is just a clone.
but!
Even if it's just an avatar, it's still an avatar of the Dao Ancestor!
It represents the absolute will of Heaven and the strongest fighting force in the primordial world.
Chen Changsheng also mingled in the crowd, kneeling on one knee.
He lowered his head, equally shocked.
The Daoist Ancestor was actually alarmed.
What exactly is his purpose in coming to Heaven?
Was it to put the saints in their place, or for the sake of the Heavenly Court's fortune?
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Changsheng's mind.
Hongjun Daozu's gaze calmly swept across the entire Lingxiao Palace.
His gaze did not linger on the six sages.
They didn't linger on the extremely excited Haotian either.
Instead, it bypassed all the immortals and gods, landing directly on the back of a young man.
Then, Hongjun slowly spoke.
The sound wasn't loud, but it resonated like a grand bell, striking everyone's ears.
"Immortality".
boom!
These two words were like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, striking directly into everyone's hearts.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, there was an instant deathly silence!
You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone was stunned.
The Dao Ancestor descended, ignoring both the Sages and the Heavenly Emperor.
The first thing he said was a name?
Immortality?
Chen Changsheng?!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
All eyes present seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force.
The gazes of the six great sages, the gaze of Haotian, the gaze of Zhenyuanzi, and the gazes of all the immortals of the Jie Sect.
At that instant, everyone turned to look at Chen Changsheng.
Those gazes contained shock, astonishment, jealousy, and disbelief!
Chen Changsheng was also startled and suddenly raised his head.
He felt the gaze of the Dao Ancestor.
Although his gaze was calm, it seemed to see through all his secrets.
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
He knew that he absolutely could not show weakness at this moment.
He stood up and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, walked step by step to the center of the hall.
With each step he took, the aura of a Primordial Golden Immortal within him became more stable.
Walking in front of the Dao Ancestor's avatar, Chen Changsheng clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
"Disciple Chen Changsheng pays respects to Grandmaster Hongjun."
His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but steady as a mountain.
Hongjun looked at Chen Changsheng in front of him and nodded slightly.
A rare hint of admiration seemed to flash in those usually calm and collected eyes.
This kid can still remain so calm in the face of my oppressive aura.
Such a mindset is rare to find even in the entire prehistoric world.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the immortals didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Everyone pricked up their ears and stared intently at the Dao Ancestor, wanting to know what he was going to do.
Hongjun slowly withdrew his gaze, and his voice rang out again.
This time, his voice carried a hint of the absolute majesty of the Heavenly Decree.
The laws of the entire Heavenly Court trembled at his words.
"Today, I hereby appoint you as the protector of my Xuanmen sect and the guardian of its path."
As soon as those words were spoken!
The entire Lingxiao Palace seemed to have been paused.
Everyone's mind went blank for a moment.
A protector of the Xuanmen sect?!
Protecting the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?!
These simple dozen or so words contain a terrifying weight that could overturn the entire prehistoric world order!
What is Xuanmen?
It is the lineage of Taoism passed down from the Taoist Ancestor, and is a collective term for the three religions of Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.
Being a protector of the Xuanmen sect means that from now on, Chen Changsheng represents more than just the Jiejiao sect.
It's not just the Heavenly Court!
He represents the entire Xuanmen! He represents the will of the Dao Ancestor!
"This...how is this possible?!"
Detained Sun knelt on the ground, gasped in shock, and his face turned ashen instantly.
Guang Chengzi and the other twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were struck as if by lightning, their bodies trembling violently.
The Chan Sect has always considered itself the orthodox sect of Xuanmen and has looked down on the disciples of the Jie Sect in every way.
But now, the Dao Ancestor has actually personally appointed a disciple of the Jie Sect as a protector of the Xuanmen!
This is tantamount to placing Chen Changsheng above all other disciples of the Xuanmen sect!
The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable instantly turned extremely gloomy.
He held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, his knuckles cracking, but he dared not make a sound.
No matter how arrogant he was, he had to behave himself in front of his master!
He could only suppress his frustration and anger deep inside.
The two Western Saints looked even worse than if they had swallowed a dead fly.
The sorrow on the Guide's face was so intense it seemed to drip water.
Zhunti Daoist almost ground his gold teeth to dust.
They had just been humiliated by Chen Changsheng at the South Heavenly Gate, and they had even tried to suppress him by relying on their status as saints.
In the blink of an eye, he became a protector of the Xuanmen sect!
How can we suppress them now?
Suppressing Chen Changsheng is tantamount to slapping the face of the Xuanmen sect and the face of the Dao Ancestor!
Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare!
Unlike the mourning attitude of the Chan and Western religions, this was different.
Meanwhile, the Jie Sect was completely engrossed in a frenzy of celebration!
Daoist Duobao was so excited that he trembled all over and his eyes turned red.
Zhao Gongming slapped his thigh hard, making a crisp sound.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the heavens.
"Hahaha!"
"Master is wise!"
"I, a disciple of the Jie Sect, am worthy of this position as protector of the Xuanmen!"
The laughter of the Tongtian Sect Leader sounded particularly jarring in the silent hall.
