"Lingxiao Sect?"

Lu Ze was stunned.

He was getting the scoop on his own hometown.

That made it even more impossible for him to act, because the person in the Lingxiao Sect qualified to receive this Luck was most likely an old acquaintance of his...

"Who could it be? Senior Brother Zhong?"

The first person Lu Ze thought of was Zhong Yi.

In the Lingxiao Sect, the one who was most righteous and cared most for all living beings was him.

"But I haven't heard of him doing anything incredible lately..."

Lu Ze rubbed his forehead with a bit of a headache.

To be honest, it was impossible not to be tempted by the System task reward for upgrading the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

But if the task target was Zhong Yi or another acquaintance, Lu Ze felt he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.

"Forget it, forget it. What a crappy task; I might as well not do it!"

Lu Ze finally made up his mind and suppressed his desire to upgrade the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Besides..."

"I'm a damn Devilish Cultivator, how could I possibly snatch away that Karma Holy Power? Ha, hahaha..."

Lu Ze gave a dry laugh, dispersing the last of the thoughts in his mind.

He stood up, preparing to go to the Qingfeng Pavilion where Zhong Yi was, to witness the moment Zhong Yi became a Saint.

The moment Lu Ze pushed open the door, he suddenly noticed something was off.

"Outside..."

"Why is it so bright???"

...

...

Lingxiao Sect, Leigong Peak.

"Auspicious Clouds Gathering Above, Ten Thousand Rays of Rosy Light!?"

Chao Wendao watched the sudden emergence of the heaven and earth vision, his hands trembling uncontrollably, the corners of his mouth becoming harder and harder to suppress.

"Quickly, notify the Sect Master..."

"I fear my Lingxiao Sect is about to leave its name in history for eternity!!!"

...

Heavenly Mystery Sect, Xuantian Peak.

The white-haired old man sitting in the center of the formation core gazed deeply toward the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

That dazzling golden light, though separated by tens of thousands of miles, still carried a sense of peaceful warmth.

"As expected..."

The old man let out a faint sigh, then raised his hand to transmit a divine sound.

"Elder Chi, take a heavy gift and go to the Lingxiao Sect immediately..."

"To congratulate the new Saint."

...

Green Mountain Sect, Guiyun Peak.

"Bastard!!"

Zhang Yuxian looked at the sky with furious eyes, a fierce and malevolent Dharma Idol unconsciously appearing behind him.

"Why is it the Lingxiao Sect again..."

"On what basis!!!"

...

Border of the Great Gan Kingdom, Sunset Immortal Valley.

"Master Qing, look! The clouds over there... they're so beautiful!!"

The paper crane mark on the young girl's forehead flickered slightly as she pulled at the black-haired young man beside her, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, and shouted excitedly.

"That is..."

When the young man called Master Qing's gaze touched the radiance of those auspicious clouds, the pain throughout his body suddenly lessened by a large margin.

The residual Devilish Qi in his body instantly weakened by a few more points.

"It's actually him again?"

Behind him, the sloppily dressed Qin Ming looked toward the direction of the Lingxiao Sect in surprise and nodded in approval.

"I really didn't misjudge him!"

"Master... that's not what you said last time..."

...

Zhong Yi's livestream room.

"What!? There's a heaven and earth vision at the Lingxiao Sect, and a Saint might be born!?"

Looking at the suddenly spamming bullet chat, Zhong Yi, who was still immersed in saving the bankrupt soldiers, suddenly stopped his Knife-run pace.

In an instant, he had the answer in his heart.

"It's Junior Brother Lu!"

...

...

The sudden heaven and earth vision could be seen no matter where one was.

The closer one got to the Lingxiao Sect, the more obvious this vision became.

Withered wood met spring, all things were revitalized, and a sense of peace filled the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) world.

High-level Cultivators headed toward the Lingxiao Sect one after another. Countless spatial rifts were torn open as Cultivators from all directions appeared near the Lingxiao Sect, as if on a pilgrimage.

Auspicious clouds gathered above, with Ten Thousand Rays of Rosy Light.

At this moment, near the Lingxiao Sect, one could even feel heavenly music surrounding them, with strands of Dao Rhyme lingering in their ears.

This was no ordinary heaven and earth vision; it was a Sacred Phenomenon.

Facing the Cultivators arriving from all directions, the Lingxiao Sect slightly relaxed its travel restrictions. After all, this was a great Opportunity to bring honor to their ancestors.

Moreover, those who came were all prominent figures. Even if someone had ill intentions, they wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir.

Countless eyes were fixed on the auspicious clouds in the sky, wondering where they would eventually gather.

Inside the Lingxiao Great Hall.

"Congratulations to the Lingxiao Sect for producing another talent!"

Chi Shengtian remarked with a sigh, his gaze somewhat complicated.

After all, such a major event was extremely rare. The Lingxiao Sect's Luck was likely to soar to the heavens, far beyond what other Sects could compare to.

"You're too kind... it's not like some new person has appeared. I reckon it's just one of our Elders who has accumulated deep Karma and received the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, right? Hahaha!"

Sect Master Huang Xiao, who had just finished his secluded cultivation, was grinning from ear to ear.

Having said that, he looked at Chao Wendao: "Elder Chao, you've questioned several Elders. Any clues?"

"Uh... the Elders all said they haven't done anything special..."

Chao Wendao scratched his head.

"Could it be one of our Disciples?"

"Quickly, summon the True Disciples of each peak!"

With a thought from Huang Xiao, a divine sound was transmitted in all directions.

Although it wouldn't be long before the heaven and earth vision stabilized and they would know who received the Heavenly Dao's recognition, he just couldn't suppress his inner curiosity at this moment.

"Elders, which True Disciple do you think it will be?"

The eight Elders of the Lingxiao Sect whispered among themselves, beginning to guess one after another.

"True Disciple Zhong of Leigong Peak, perhaps? Judging by character, he has long shown the signs of a Saint..."

"True Disciple Zhou of Danqing Peak is also possible... born poor but with a resilient character, countless Loose Cultivators throughout the world have been inspired by him... If he becomes a Saint, it would be a beautiful thing."

"What about True Disciple Li of Wenjian Peak? In terms of cultivation, she is likely the Quasi-Saint of this generation..."

"Why hasn't anyone mentioned True Disciple Mu of Quenching Gold Peak? If she gained some Opportunity, it's not impossible for her to achieve Saintly status through her Physical Body."

...

Everyone was talking at once.

Soon, of the seventeen True Disciples from the eight spiritual peaks of the Lingxiao Sect who were currently in the Sect, fourteen had gathered at the Lingxiao Great Hall.

"Senior Brother Zhou, why did Master call us here?"

Mu Yawen scratched her head, looking at Zhou Yue with a face full of confusion. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Didn't you see the vision outside? That's a Sacred Phenomenon... there are signs of a Saint being born within our Sect! The Elders believe it's among the True Disciples."

Zhou Yue explained.

He looked around; only three people had yet to arrive.

Li Moran was still in secluded cultivation and would take some time to get there.

That fellow Zhong Yi was likely livestreaming and would probably be a bit late after receiving the news.

Lu Ze went without saying; Elder Nangong couldn't control him, he was a purely free man...

Aside from these three, Zhou Yue was very familiar with the other True Disciples who had arrived.

Including himself, whether in terms of strength or character, Zhou Yue didn't think anyone present could bear the title of 'Saint'.

"Hehe, then it must be Senior Brother Zhong!"

Mu Yawen gave a simple smile.

In her heart, Zhong Yi's image was very grand.

"But... Old Zhong said not long ago that Junior Brother Lu would likely become a Saint."

Zhou Yue shook his head, offering a different viewpoint.

"Where did Senior Brother Zhong say that?"

"In the Illusion Realm, why?"

"Then never mind, Senior Brother Zhong is a jinx in the Illusion Realm."

"...That seems to be the case."

As the two were chatting, the surroundings suddenly became restless.

"The auspicious clouds are moving... they're about to take shape!!"

"The result is about to be revealed..."

"How can this be... it's actually not within this Lingxiao Hall!?"

...

The ten thousand miles of auspicious clouds above the Lingxiao Sect began to gather slowly toward the east, quickly drifting away from above the Lingxiao Hall.

This meant that the person recognized by the Heavenly Dao was not within the Lingxiao Hall.

The scope was instantly narrowed down to the remaining three people.

The curiosity of the many Cultivators present grew even stronger.

"Only True Disciple Zhong, True Disciple Li, and True Disciple Lu haven't arrived."

"It must be True Disciple Zhong, right? The Great Dao Truth Incantation is already a Saint's Legacy; if he becomes a Saint, I think everyone would be fully convinced."

"True Disciple Li isn't bad either, is she? Those without desires or needs are closest to the path of a Saint. If she becomes a Saint, she'll likely be the first in the Lingxiao Sect to achieve Immortal Ascension."

"If the two of them became Saints together, that wouldn't be bad either..."

...

Under the fervent gazes of the crowd.

The auspicious clouds slowly floated toward the Lihuo Peak. Ten thousand zhang of rosy light fell from the auspicious clouds, and strands of Dao Rhyme seemed to condense into substance, making even the air feel a bit heavier.

A golden streak of Mysterious Yellow Qi quietly condensed.

At the very center of the vision, a white-robed youth walked out of the Lingyu Pavilion with a calm and composed demeanor.
