(I said I was going to explode, so here's the first update. It's perfectly justifiable to ask for monthly votes.)
The Third Daoist had become a synonym for mystery in the minds of the crowd, just like how Will Heavenly Palace was viewed by the other factions.
"Welcome everyone to the Heavenly Palace Daoist Ceremony." The Will God spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a spring breeze or a clear spring that penetrated one's heart and soul. Even if one blocked their five senses, they still couldn't block out the voice, because it seemed to come from the depths of their hearts.
It was a mysterious and unfathomable power.
It was the power of a Ruler.
Since the Will God spoke so politely, the crowd naturally responded even more modestly, including the Dao Masters of the three sacred lands.
A Ruler was indeed a Ruler. No matter which faction they belonged to, even if they were a Ruler among rogue cultivators, they still had the power to dominate the void. For example, Empyrean Sword Master was a Ruler among rogue cultivators. However, even the Dao Masters of Will Heavenly Palace had to maintain a humble attitude in front of him.
The strong would always remain strong, no matter where they were. Great strength wouldn't change according to the conditions of the outside world. Instead, it would lead to the improvement of the outside world.
"Let's welcome the Third Daoist, Chen Zong," a Dao Master of Will Heavenly Palace announced loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire venue and reaching everyone's ears.
"So the Third Daoist of Will Heavenly Palace is called Chen Zong."
At this moment, the two words' Chen Zong ', this name, had become a brand that was deeply engraved into their hearts.
"Chen Zong." The Sacred Ice Palace's side was slightly taken aback.
"I seem to have heard of this name before." A Dao Master of Ice Dragon Path frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
"Yu Nianxin's external aid during the competition for the Daoist position is called Chen Zong," Red Crane Dao Master said in a strange tone, his expression uncertain.
Similarly, Ao Guzun, Dao Master Lan Ning, Hong Feng, Mo Hongli, Lan Shuang and the others were also uncertain.
It was because the name Chen Zong sounded very familiar. When they heard this name, they couldn't help but think of Yu Nianxin's external aid during the competition for the Daoist position.
"Could it be him?" Everyone couldn't help but have such a thought.
His name was Chen Zong, and he was a true disciple of the Will Heavenly Palace.
"Impossible, it must be someone with the same name," Hong Feng shook her head vigorously as if she was trying to get rid of that thought. She spoke with certainty.
They also hoped that it was someone with the same name.
The Zhenkongism's side was also slightly stunned, and they all thought of one thing.
Back then, the one who sent Yukong the Venerable's body back to the sect was a true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace. His name seemed to be Chen Zong.
Was he the third Daochild of Will Heavenly Palace?
If so, that would be too shocking.
Amidst countless speculations and expectations, the third Daoist appeared.
He seemed to have come from the void outside. Step by step, he followed the path formed by the sword light and walked to the peak of the divine mountain in the center. He stood among the Dao Paragons and stood side by side with the Mind Dominator.
Seeing that figure, the people of the Zhenkongism were very excited. Sure enough, it was really him.
On the other hand, those from the Ice Saint Palace were all stunned. They felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Chen Zong!
It really was that Chen Zong!
He was Yu Nianxin's foreign aid.
How could it be!
How could it be him!
Although they had all kinds of premonitions when they heard the name, they didn't want to believe it. They had always been a bit lucky. After all, it was possible to have the same name.
But now that they saw it with their own eyes, it was directly confirmed.
The third Daochild of Will Heavenly Palace was the Chen Zong they knew. There was no such thing as the same name.
Ao Guzun, Red Crane, and Lan Ning's minds went blank for a moment. Even though they were Dao Paragons, it was the same.
As for Hong Feng, Mo Hongli, and Lan Shuang, their minds were frozen. They couldn't think of anything.
After a long while, the three Dao Paragons of Ice Saint Palace came to their senses.
Ao Guzun's expression changed back and forth. It was very obscure, as if he was afraid of something, but also as if he had made up his mind about something.
Red Crane was a bit scared. She thought of the scene when she attacked and tried to kill Chen Zong in Ice Phoenix Path.
If she had really killed Chen Zong, the consequences would have been very serious. Will Heavenly Palace would definitely be furious.
After all, if a true disciple died, Ice Phoenix Path would not feel good and would have to pay a price. But if the one who died was a Daochild, then whether Ice Phoenix Path could continue to exist was a big problem. It could even affect the entire Ice Saint Palace.
Dao Master Red Crane felt a lingering fear and a sense of relief.
Fortunately, her finger was blocked. But then again, it was indeed unusual to have a Dao Paragon level expert as a Dao Paragon's protector.
As for Dao Master Lan Ning, her expression kept changing. She was green, red, and white. She thought of the warning she had given Chen Zong.
But she didn't expect Chen Zong's identity to be so noble.
Of course, to Ice Saint Palace, the identity of Will Heavenly Palace's Daochild had nothing to do with them. At the very least, they couldn't interfere with their palace rules. Only the Daochild of their own palace was useful.
But no matter what, Will Heavenly Palace was a supreme power, stronger than Ice Saint Palace. And Chen Zong, as the Daochild of Will Heavenly Palace, represented Will Heavenly Palace to a certain extent, just like a Dao Paragon.
She had to take this seriously.
Dao Master Blue Condensation felt her face burning.
As for Red Phoenix and the other two, they slowly came to their senses. Their expressions were very interesting.
Lan Shuang had once looked down on Chen Zong. Later, she was forced to leave first. In the end, it was Chen Zong who took the Phoenix Crystal and let Yu Nianxin become the Daochild. But that had nothing to do with her. It wasn't her honor.
If she hadn't left on her own initiative, she would have enjoyed that honor later. But unfortunately, she had left on her own initiative and didn't move in groups after discussion. The meaning was different.
That kind of behavior was like telling others that they weren't on the same team, that they weren't in the same group.
Then, the honor of Yu Nianxin obtaining the Phoenix Crystal and becoming the Daochild would have nothing to do with her.
As for Li Jiayin and Wu Qiaoyun, of course, they were valued and nurtured because of their relationship with Yu Nianxin.
Lan Shuang wasn't so thick-skinned as to go up there again.
Hong Feng was both shocked and resentful.
Why had Yu Nianxin become the Daochild? Now, Yu Nianxin's external aid was also a Daochild. She, who was clearly very outstanding, was nothing.
Mo Hongli's expression was also very serious. But relatively speaking, her feelings weren't as strong as Lan Shuang and Red Phoenix, because she hadn't interacted much with Chen Zong.
Those who knew Chen Zong were very surprised, but some were happy and some were sad.
The Daochild Ceremony began.
Will Dominator announced the Daochild, full of the rhythm of the Great Dao. It spread out from the Divine Mountain like ripples, causing everyone to fall into a strange feeling.
Even Dao Masters had the same feeling.
No one understood the meaning of the Daochild's Daochild, but they didn't need to understand, because the mysteries of the Great Dao in the void were all gathered under the guidance of the Daochild, becoming more and more intense.
Wisps of the mysteries of the Great Dao turned into brilliance and flashed, like ripples of water. The scenery of the lake and mountains had a wonderful feeling.
It was formed by the condensation of countless mysteries of the Great Dao.
The mysteries of the Great Dao were everywhere, but they were very scattered. Some places were more intense and were treated as sacred cultivation places, while others were less intense.
The mysteries of the Great Dao here were quite good. Now, as the Will Dominator announced the Daochild's Daochild, countless mysteries of the Great Dao were attracted and became more intense.
Those mysteries of the Great Dao were even condensing into something substantial.
One could see that above Chen Zong's head, countless rays of light were converging, flashing, and flowing with brilliant colors.
Each ray of light represented a mystery of the Great Dao. So many rays of light were the condensation of countless mysteries of the Great Dao.
For a moment, Chen Zong directly activated the Ten Intents of Mind and quickly comprehended.
This was a rare opportunity!
If it were any other time, this wouldn't be possible. But now, it was the Ceremony of Daochild, and it was a ceremony that belonged to him. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity.
In fact, the Ceremony of Daochild wasn't just a ceremony. It had a deeper level of benefits.
The greatest benefit was the Daochild, followed by the people of the Will Heavenly Palace, and finally, the people who were invited to watch the ceremony. The benefit was the condensation of the mysteries of the Great Dao. They could more clearly come into contact with the mysteries of the Great Dao, comprehend the mysteries within, and improve their own Great Dao. They could even comprehend the mysteries of other Great Daos, corroborate their own Great Dao, and improve from different aspects.
Everyone was immersed in the mysteries, as if they were wandering in the sea of the Great Dao.
Only the Will Dominator was clear-headed. This level of Great Dao mysteries was nothing to Dominator experts.
This was because Dominator experts could directly comprehend the origin of the Great Dao of the Void, which was more than a hundred times better than this level.
The condensation of the mysteries of the Great Dao seemed to have come for Chen Zong. Under the Ten Intents of Mind, Chen Zong comprehended with all his might, and countless mysteries emerged one after another.
Unlike other cultivators, Chen Zong didn't limit himself to a particular Great Dao. He could comprehend all of them, absorb their essence, and integrate it into his own Great Dao.
Heart Sword Principle!
World Great Dao!
Now, these two Great Daos had reached the second level. However, they had only just entered the second level, which was 10,000 meters.
It should be known that the limit of the second level Great Dao Domain was 99,999 meters.
If he wanted to reach the third level, he had to break through to 100,000 meters.
A Great Dao Domain of 100,000 meters was so vast. However, that was still not the limit of the Great Dao Domain. There were higher levels.
Chen Zong discovered that when his Great Dao Domain reached the second level, which was 10,000 meters, the difficulty of further improvement increased by more than ten times.
Chen Zong also knew that this was due to the limitations of his cultivation base.
After all, the second level Great Dao Domain belonged to the Magical Ability Realm, and he was only at the high-level Yuan Underworld Realm. He hadn't even reached the Perfected Yuan Underworld Realm, yet he had already grasped the second level Great Dao Domain. This was already very shocking.
The Demon Heart had also analyzed that the possibility of Chen Zong continuing to improve his Great Dao Domain at the high-level Yuan Underworld Realm was very low. The price he would have to pay was not proportional. Perhaps he could continue to improve his Great Dao Domain after reaching the Perfected Yuan Underworld Realm.
