"A tracking opportunity within the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Vein ..."
Chen Shen thumped his heart, of course he couldn't just use such a precious opportunity, he still had to plan for it.
The key thing was that he didn't particularly need anything right now.
...
On the other side, Xiao Wuyou arrived at the Sect Master's hall, where a group of elders were gathered.
Today was the day that new disciples joined the sect, not to mention that Xiao Wuyou had picked his successor, such a crucial day, it was inevitable that all the elders would be gathered to discuss the matter.
"Sect Leader, after investigation, Chen Shen was indeed born in Stone Village and is a native Jizhou subject without any problems."
An elder below reported.
Xiao Wuyou nodded slightly, not feeling surprised.
"In that case, convey the matter of Chen Shen serving as my Heavenly Cloud Sect's Saint Son, and report it to the Heartless Sect so that they are aware of it."
That elder down below responded helplessly at his words.
The Heartless Sect was the Great Jin's Protectorate Sect, its strength was second to none within the thirty-six sects, and it was also the main force in dealing with the Great Zhou Demon Sect.
Nominally, the other thirty-five sects of the Great Jin were all affiliated sects of the Heartless Sect, such as today, since the Cloud Sect had found their choice of future Sect Leader, then of course, they had to report it to the Heartless Sect and be recognized by the Heartless Sect.
"Sect Leader, isn't it a bit too childish for Chen Shen to be the Saint Son when he has just been initiated?"
An old man with white hair at the lower left head raised an objection.
This old man was the Chief Elder of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, his status second only to the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder.
As soon as his words fell, the Punishment Elder next to him followed suit.
"Yes Sect Master, many inner disciples in the sect have been practicing hard day and night in order to compete for that position, but that Chen Shen became a Saint Son as soon as he was initiated, it's inevitable that there's some dissent."
Hearing this, Xiao Wuyou swept a glance at the two men, these two elders each had a grandson and a granddaughter, all of their qualifications were good, ranking first and second among the inner disciples.
Now that they were saying this, they were obviously fighting for their juniors again.
If Chen Shen was really a Houtian Thunder Spirit Body, he would be willing to give those two another chance.
It was a pity that his disciple was not some Houtian Thunder Spirit Body.
Of course, of all the elders present, only Wei Shanhe knew the truth.
Even in the entire sect, there were only a handful of people who knew...
They, the elders, only knew that Chen Shen had excellent qualifications that far exceeded the norm, but they knew nothing about to what extent.
"Sect Leader, why don't we set a little test for Chen Shen, and when he passes it, how about making him a Saint Son? That way those disciples down below will also feel better in their hearts."
Seeing that the Sect Leader did not speak, the Penalty Elder spoke again.
"Test?" When Xiao Wuyou heard this word, he couldn't help but recall the unpleasant past and his brows subconsciously furrowed.
"Not bad, nine hundred and eighty-one channels will do." The Penalty Elder had a breezy face.
"It's not necessary."
Xiao Wuyou directly refused.
The fluctuation of heaven and earth aura was too obvious when Chen Shen cultivated, and there was also this reason why he let Chen Shen cultivate in the main peak.
If he made any more messy tests, I'm afraid that the matter of Chen Shen being an Innate Empyrean Spirit Body would be made known to everyone.
What's more, he had already given Chen Shen the Heavenly Cloud Divine Thunder Decision, so where was the reason to go back on it?
The Chief Elder next to him was still a bit undeterred and continued to argue, ''Chen Shen was born in the countryside and doesn't understand etiquette, now although he has reached the heavens in one step, his cultivation level is still low, so how can he go out and represent the Heavenly Cloud Sect in the future?
Not to say too far away things, let's say two months later, the thirty-six sects will have an audience with the new king of the country.... If my Heavenly Cloud Sect didn't have a saint son, it would be just that, since there is a saint son, then it is inevitable that we will have to send him to the country's capital.
But he is a countryman, how has he ever seen that kind of scene, when the time comes, he will inevitably make a fool of himself and make my Heavenly Cloud Sect lose face in front of the thirty six clans and the new king.
Sovereign, I suggest that the matter of appointing him as a Saint Son should wait until after the audience with the new State Sovereign in two months, or at least let him see more big scenes and learn basic etiquette."
The crowd of elders couldn't help but brainstorm images in their minds as they listened to this.
That was the scene of Chen Shen fearfully going up to the Golden Palace, looking around from time to time with a face that had never seen the world.
Just a little bit of that thought, a group of elders frowned.
Shame ... is too shameful ah!
"Enough, my will has been decided, this matter should not be brought up again, could it be that I, the Patriarch, don't even have the right to pick my own disciple?"
Xiao Wuyou raised his eyebrows and an invisible might emanated from his body.
The crowd of elders all did not dare to say anything else when they saw this.
This Patriarch of theirs might be a bit mute in terms of dealing with people, but in terms of strength, even compared to the other thirty-five Patriarchs, he was still in the upper echelon, so if he was to become angry, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
...
The next day.
The matter of Chen Shen becoming the Holy Son of the Heavenly Cloud Sect spread throughout the entire Heavenly Cloud Mountain Vein.
All the disciples, regardless of the inner or outer sects, all knew that there was an additional Saint Son above their heads.
Moreover, as long as this Saint Son did not die prematurely, he would be the future head of the Heavenly Cloud Sect.
For this news, naturally, some people were happy and some people were sad.
Most of the outstanding inner disciples were resentful in their hearts, and nowadays, they had long since been split into two factions, one supporting the eldest senior brother and the other supporting the second senior sister.
The two factions have been fighting for so many years, as long as the sect leader is born amongst the two, there will be a party that will benefit.
The result is good, out of nowhere came a holy son, everyone is a basket of water.
As for the outer disciples, most of them were curious, curious as to what this new Saint Son was like, to be able to obtain the favor of the Patriarch, directly overpowering the two geniuses of the inner sect and becoming the Saint Son.
But the more curious they were, the less Chen Shen appeared.
For a few whole days, no matter whether it was the inner sect or the outer sect, all the disciples were unable to see the new Saint Son once.
...
Just as the curiosity within the door built up to a certain level, Chen Shen on the main peak finally stopped cultivating.
The thousands of spirit stones in front of him had already been reduced to pieces and piled up as high as half a person.
And at this moment, his cultivation had also reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi cultivation from the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
The sixth to seventh level of qi cultivation seemed to undergo a qualitative change, so the amount of spiritual qi needed was extremely high, Chen Shen was not in a hurry, after all, one bite would not make a fat man.
After cleaning up the spirit stone powder, Chen Shen had a good night's sleep and then walked out of the main peak compound.
Standing at the peak of the main peak, looking at the countless mountains around him, Chen Shen couldn't help but remember the words of a certain pretender.
"This is my mountains and rivers!"
After sighing, Chen Shen was in an extremely good mood, after coming to this Heavenly Cloud Sect for such a long time, he had only stayed at this main peak, and it was time to take a look at the other peaks.
Especially since he also had a little brother, Zhang Ji, and he didn't know how he was doing nowadays.
Although he was flying high now, he was not a person who had forgotten his roots, for his little brother, he still had to take care of him.
Thinking of this, Chen Shen took a deep breath and looked down the mountain.
On this day, the new Saint Son, who had been wondered about by all the disciples within the Heavenly Cloud Sect for many days, finally descended the main peak.
