It was no exaggeration to say that the establishment of the Sacred Palace represented the arrival of a new era. All the forces of the Tianchen Continent and the Tianhe Continent were vassals of the Sacred Palace and had become its external palaces.
For the first time, the sect masters of the various external palaces were fortunate enough to enter the Sacred Region. Guests and experts gathered on the central peak. The huge main peak was bustling with wine, music, and dancing.
Xiao Sheng's four Sacred Palace Ancestors, the Nine Heavens Saint and other Sacred Palace Saints, as well as Xiao Chen and other Sacred Palace Chosen and Saintesses were all present. Everyone drank and chatted, their hearts filled with hope for the future of the Sacred Palace.
In truth, Xiao Chen was already very familiar with such banquets and celebrations. However, the scale of the Sacred Palace's founding ceremony this time was much larger than any of the banquets and celebrations that Xiao Chen had attended before.
Almost all the famous people on the Tianhe Continent and the Tianchen Continent were present. Even Chu Wuming had rushed over from the Tianhe Continent to participate in the Sacred Palace's founding ceremony.
When the banquet was halfway through, Ancient Sage Randeng, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly said with a chuckle, "You're right.
"Everyone, in addition to announcing the establishment of the Sacred Palace, today's Sacred Palace ceremony also has an important announcement to make."
As soon as Randeng Kosei spoke, the crowd quickly quieted down. Although Randeng Kosei's voice was very calm and gave off a refreshing feeling, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. This was because everyone present knew that Randeng Kosei and the other three were genuine quasi-saints and could be said to be legendary figures.
Now that Randeng Kosei said that there was something else to announce, the crowd quieted down. Under the attention of the crowd, Randeng Kosei did not keep them in suspense and slowly spoke.
"As everyone knows, there are a total of ten Sacred Palace Chosen and Saintesses. Today, taking advantage of the Sacred Palace ceremony, the Sacred Palace will hold the first Sacred Palace Chosen Battle to determine the ranking of the ten Sacred Palace Chosen and Saintesses."
The Chosen Battle of the Sacred Palace. Upon hearing Randeng Kosei's words, everyone present could no longer remain calm and couldn't help but grow excited.
To be able to witness a battle between the Chosen of the Sacred Palace was definitely a dream come true for everyone.
One must know that the ten Chosen of the Sacred Palace had emerged from bloody battles with the Demon Race. They were genuine young kings who had crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Ancient Saint Sect, and the Yangsheng Sect had all died because of the eight years of fierce battle with the Devil Clan. Now, only seven of them were left. Together with the three siblings, Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, and Long Qing, they formed the ten Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Divine Palace.
No one present could remain calm after witnessing the battle between the ten Chosens and Chosens of the Sacred Palace with their own eyes.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been completely stirred up, Randeng Kosei smiled faintly and raised his hand to signal for everyone to calm down.
He then said, "Everyone, please calm down for a moment. Before the Chosen Battle begins, this old man still has something to say.
"The Chosen Battle will determine the ranking of the ten Chosens of the Sacred Palace. However, before it begins, the four of us have decided together that the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace will not be determined through a competition. Instead, the position will be directly held by Xiao Chen."
The Chosen Battle of the Sacred Palace was indeed going to be held, but the position of the first Chosen had already been reserved. That person was Xiao Chen.
Following Randeng Kosei's words, countless eyes instantly focused on Xiao Chen. It was no exaggeration to say that if he became the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen could be described as having monstrous power in the future. His status would most likely surpass those of the Saints.
In the face of everyone's gazes, Xiao Chen appeared very calm. After all, he already knew about this matter, so at this moment, there was nothing to be shocked about.
However, compared to Xiao Chen's calmness, the other Chosens and Saintesses all had different expressions. Chen Yu, Emperor Qing, Hu Fei, and Jiang Yue did not have any special thoughts other than being a little surprised. However, the remaining three Chosens and Saintesses from the Sky Saint Sect and Sun Saint Sect appeared very jealous.
The three of them were naturally dissatisfied that Xiao Chen had become the first Son of the Sacred Palace without going through the competition. In their opinion, Xiao Chen's strength was not enough to become the first Son of the Sacred Palace.
Sure enough, a woman with an icy temperament soon stood up and looked directly at Randeng Kosei and the others on the main seats.
"Ancestor, since the ranking of the Sacred Palace Chosens is determined through a competition, why is the position of the first Chosen directly decided? This disciple is not convinced. "
This woman was called Yun Chuan, and she came from the Sun Saint Sect. She was once the second Saintess of the Sun Saint Sect.
Randeng Kosei and the others had clearly expected this when they heard Yun Chuan's words. They did not answer and only looked at Xiao Chen. Their meaning was very clear: they should solve their own problems by themselves.
Xiao Chen's position as the first Chosen would definitely arouse the displeasure of the other Chosens and Saintesses. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Sheng and the others helped Xiao Chen cleanse his marrow and break through to the Dao Emperor Realm.
At this moment, Xiao Chen stood up helplessly when he saw the gazes of Xiao Sheng and the others. He smiled at Yun Chuan and said, "Senior sister Yun Chuan, why don't we spar?"
If he wanted everyone to acknowledge his position as the first Chosen, the simplest way was to rely on strength. So, Xiao Chen did not waste his breath and directly challenged Yun Chuan. If you're not convinced, then let's fight.
Sure enough, Yun Chuan did not even give it a second thought when she heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Alright, if I lose, I'll acknowledge your position as the first Chosen. However, junior brother Xiao Chen, if you lose, it means that you don't have the qualifications to become the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace. You don't have any objections to this, right?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen nodded when he heard Yun Chuan's words.
The two of them agreed to battle. Afterwards, Xiao Chen and Yun Chuan arrived at the spacious field at the center of the banquet and stood still. The Sacred Palace had already made preparations for this Chosen Battle, so they had specially set aside an empty space at the center of the banquet. Moreover, they had even specially inscribed a formation to isolate the aftershocks of the Chosen Battle.
They stood still at the center of the field that had been prepared beforehand. At the same time, the formation activated, and an invisible screen of light quickly enveloped Xiao Chen and Yun Chuan. The entire process of the battle could be clearly seen from the outside world. However, the aftershocks of the battle were unable to penetrate the formation at all, so they would not disturb the banquet.
No one had expected that a Chosen would battle so soon. Everyone present held their breaths in concentration as they looked at the two who stood five meters apart from each other. They were filled with excitement as they anticipated the start of the battle.
