The sixteen Saints unanimously agreed that Xiao Chen would become the fifth Quasi-Holy Son of the Ancient Saint Sect. After voting, all the Saints looked at the phantom in the middle.
Unlike the other Saints, this phantom was shrouded in a white light, and his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. However, it wasn't difficult to see from the expressions of the Saints that they all respected this person very much.
And this was also reasonable, because this Saint whose appearance couldn't be seen clearly was the Ancestor of the Ancient Saint Sect. He was an old monster who had lived for countless years and was known as one of the oldest Saints in the Tianhe Continent.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that at least half of the remaining fifteen Saints present were this old man's disciples.
Saints could live for a very long time, and the gap in strength between Saints was obviously very large. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that old monsters like the Ancestor of the Ancient Saint Sect had already reached the end of the Saint Realm. As long as they had the Source Energy, these old monsters could break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm in an instant. Of course, there was no Source Energy in the Tianhe Continent, so even these old monsters had no way to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
His name was Randeng Kosei. Facing the gazes of all the Saints, a majestic voice came out from Randeng Kosei's mouth.
"In three days, Xiao Chen's conferring ceremony will be held. Qing Jue, Tian Feng, Huo Yun, and Kuang Li, the four of you will be in charge."
"We will follow Master's orders." Hearing Randeng Kosei's words, Saint Qing Jue and the other three respectfully replied.
After saying that, Randeng Kosei's phantom took the lead and disappeared into the Shrines. Then, the Saints chatted for a while and left one after another. Soon, only Saint Qing Jue and the other three were left in the Shrines.
The matter was finally settled. On the same day, Saint Qing Jue announced that Xiao Chen would be the fifth Quasi-Holy Son of the Ancient Saint Sect.
As soon as this news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in the Ancient Saint Sect. Countless Holy Sons and Deacons of the Ancient Saint Sect were discussing Xiao Chen.
In less than half a day, Xiao Chen's past deeds were dug out by everyone, including Xiao Chen's past in the Moonless Empire.
One must not underestimate these disciples of the Ancient Saint Sect. To be able to enter the Ancient Saint Sect, none of them were ordinary characters.
There were no more than 10,000 disciples in the entire Ancient Saint Sect. Compared to Tianfeng Shengzong and other outer sects, the number of disciples in the Ancient Saint Sect was very small.
This was also the philosophy of the Ancient Saint Sect all this while. Taking the business route, they would invest their limited resources on a small number of people and nurture a single powerful being. In the eyes of the Ancient Saint Sect, it was definitely more cost-effective than nurturing ten or even a hundred mediocre people.
Therefore, the Ancient Saint Sect had always been strict in recruiting disciples. As a result, there were only 10,000 disciples in the Ancient Saint Sect.
Many disciples were discussing Xiao Chen curiously. Being the fifth candidate of the Chosen Saint was definitely a meteoric rise. Some people were envious, while others were jealous.
After all, Xiao Chen had just entered the Ancient Saint Sect. However, he had directly become the Chosen Saint. This made many of the older disciples feel that it was unfair.
In addition, someone had spread the news that Xiao Chen was only in the Dao Gate Realm. It was simply a joke that a Dao Gate Realm martial artist could become the fifth candidate of the Ancient Saint Sect.
It was precisely because of this imbalance that some disciples began to question the decision of the sect. Of course, they did not dare to go against the decision of the Saints. As such, they could only vent their jealousy and anger on Xiao Chen.
Some people were envious, some people worshipped, and some people were jealous. For a time, there were all kinds of rumors about Xiao Chen in the Ancient Saint Sect.
Some people said that Xiao Chen was indeed a genius. Some people said that Xiao Chen was just lucky. There were even people who said that Xiao Chen had cheated in passing the Quasi-Heavenly Stairway. The Saints should revoke Xiao Chen's position as the fifth candidate of the Chosen Saint.
There were many different opinions. However, no matter how these disciples discussed, Xiao Chen's position as the fifth candidate of the Chosen Saint was not affected at all. Three days passed in a flash. On this day, Xiao Chen began his own Chosen Saint's Coronation Hall in the Ancient Saint Sect's Sacred Palace.
Countless disciples gathered outside the Sacred Palace. They were not qualified to enter the Sacred Palace. They waited anxiously. Not long after, Xiao Chen appeared in front of everyone under the lead of a Half-Saint Deacon.
Xiao Chen's appearance naturally attracted the attention of all the disciples. Everyone began to discuss softly.
Although their voices were soft, Xiao Chen still heard them. Among them, many people were hostile to him because of jealousy. Xiao Chen did not comment on this, nor did he have the intention to pay attention to them.
These guys did not have the ability to become the Chosen Saint, so they thought that others could not. Therefore, these people began to slander him without any bottom line. They said that he had cheated, that he was lucky, that he had used some unspeakable means. All kinds of rumors spread from the disciples' mouths.
Xiao Chen guessed that there might be many people who would find trouble with him in the future. However, he did not care. Xiao Chen only wanted strength. As for other things, he did not care.
Under the lead of the Half-Saint Deacon, Xiao Chen came all the way to the Sacred Palace. Today, the Sacred Palace was very lively. The 16 Saints of the Ancient Saint Sect had gathered. Of course, except for Saint Qing Jue and the other three, the other Saints were just shadows.
Apart from the Saints, the other four Saints of the Ancient Saint Sect, as well as the four Chosen Saints, as long as they were in the Ancient Saint Sect, were all present.
Chen Yu and Hu Fei were the Sons, and there were also two prospective Sons present. Xiao Chen nodded slightly at Chen Yu. He came to the center of the Sacred Hall and bowed to all the Saints. Saint Qingjue then said plainly.
"Disciple Xiao Chen has condensed the Eight-Edged Dao Gate and successfully passed the Quasi-Sky Stairway. As a result, Xiao Chen is specially conferred the position of Chosen Saint of the Ancient Saint Sect. From today onwards, Xiao Chen is the fifth Chosen Saint of the Ancient Saint Sect. He will be given a Heavenly Ancient Robe and a Chosen Saint cave dwelling. He will choose a day to choose the Four Saint Palaces."
Saint Qing Jue said slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, two Half-Saint Deacons arrived before Xiao Chen with a Heavenly Ancient Robe and a Chosen Saint medallion.
The Heavenly Ancient Robe was a Quasi-Saint defensive Soul Treasure. It was very powerful, and cultivators below the Dao King Realm would not be able to harm Xiao Chen at all once he wore it. Of course, this was because Xiao Chen's cultivation was not enough. If Xiao Chen's cultivation could break through again, the Heavenly Ancient Robe would allow Xiao Chen to block all attacks below the Half-Saint Realm.
Every single Heavenly Ancient Robe was a peerless treasure. The Ancient Saint Sect had spent a great deal of effort to forge it. Since ancient times, only Chosen Saints could wear it. Of course, compared to the Chosen Saint's Primordial Robe, the Heavenly Ancient Robe was naturally slightly inferior. However, to Xiao Chen, a Quasi-Saint defensive Soul Treasure was already a very heaven-defying treasure.
