Chapter 467: The Ceremony of Conferring the God
The Heavenly Demon Palace is the most sacred hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and it is also the place where major matters of the Heavenly Demon Sect are decided.
At this moment, there are dozens of figures gathered in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and almost every aura is extremely powerful, because most of these people are elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The weakest among these elders are those in the late stage of the Heavenly Phantasm Realm, which is also a threshold for becoming an elder of the outer sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Zhou Yuan and Leng Qingxue were allowed to attend as an exception and stood at the back of everyone.
For the Heavenly Demon Sect, today is a big day, the day when the Divine Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect is officially confirmed.
Zhou Yuan saw a few acquaintances. Zhou Chengang and Zhou Yanhe were both present. One of them was the fourteenth elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the other was the fifteenth elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Zhou Yuyan was also named an elder and became the fifth elder of the Tianmo Sect, in charge of the Punishment Hall.
Zhou Yanbang, the original fifth elder, was promoted to second elder, while Qin Fangchun became the great elder of Tianmo Sect.
Zhou Yuan's appearance aroused the curiosity of many Tianmo Sect elders, and they all looked at Zhou Yuan.
In the past few days, Zhou Yuan's name has been spread throughout the Tianmo Sect, and many people are doubtful about it.
However, Zhou Chengang, Zhou Yanhe and others are not liars, so most people still believe it.
Moreover, this person is still a disciple of the Son of God, so the elders are willing to give Zhou Yuan face and do not dare to underestimate this young man.
At this moment, three figures appeared out of thin air in front of the hall, making no sound.
These three people are Zhou Teng, the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zhou Aotian, the current sect leader, and Zhou Chen!
"Greetings to our ancestors, our sect leader, and our son of God!"
All the elders in the hall saluted one after another and put away other thoughts in their hearts.
Zhou Yuan stared closely at the front of the hall. The other party had just appeared silently, making him feel a terrible pressure. The hairs on his body stood up, and his expression became tense instantly!
This is an instinctive reaction of his body in extreme danger.
Over the years, he has dealt with death almost all the time, so in his body, he subconsciously runs the time-breaking technique to kill these threats.
But fortunately, his mind was clear and he didn't really do it, but his expression was still tense.
Leng Qingxue felt Zhou Yuan's reaction the most. She felt a dangerous aura rising from Zhou Yuan's body and quickly reached out to hold one of Zhou Yuan's hands.
Feeling the softness in his palm, Zhou Yuan's tense expression relaxed a little, but his heart was still tense.
He knows very well that human nature is inherently evil, and greed, desire, and ignorance are all instincts.
The master has no ill intentions toward him, but that doesn't mean that other people in the Tianmo Sect don't have any ill intentions.
The Great Fate Technique he performed in the secret realm was so outrageous that it was not impossible for someone in the top ranks of the Heavenly Demon Sect to take risks for this purpose.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan was wary of others in the Tianmo Sect.
Even Leng Qingxue didn't know that Zhou Yuan had a portable teleportation array that could teleport thousands of miles away at any time.
Human nature is the last thing that should be tested, otherwise you will lose completely. Zhou Yuan has already had a deep understanding of this.
It is precisely because of this that there are few people who can make him let down his guard.
Fortunately, Zhou Teng and Zhou Aotian glanced at Zhou Yuan without focusing too much on Zhou Yuan, which made Zhou Yuan secretly relieved.
"Everyone, our Heavenly Demon Sect has just experienced a civil strife and eliminated a group of people with evil intentions. From now on, we can go into battle with ease."
"It is undeniable that the overall strength of Tianmo Sect has been weakened, but we have also gained new strength."
"Today is the day when the divine son of our Heavenly Demon Sect is established, and it is also the day when our Heavenly Demon Sect opens a new chapter."
"After today, I will retreat to reach the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm. All affairs of the sect will be handed over to the Son of God. I hope all the elders will cooperate with the Son of God!"
Zhou Aotian took a step forward and spoke calmly.
After hearing this, all the elders clasped their fists and saluted, showing great respect.
Zhou Teng led Zhou Chen out slowly, came to Zhou Aotian's side, and spoke slowly.
"Elders, the determination of the Son of God this time is a decision made jointly by the sect master and I. I don't want to see different voices coming out of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"If you have any objections to the Son of God, you can stand up now and I will allow you to leave the Demon Sect."
"If after the Son of God is confirmed, he acts in a positive and negative way, then don't blame me for being rude!"
As Zhou Teng spoke, his eyes swept across the elders in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads.
To be honest, there are naturally some people who are dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's role as the Son of God. This is normal.
But today, the personal statements of the sect leader and ancestor made many people realize that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.
"I will obey my ancestor's orders and my sect master's orders!"
All the elders saluted one after another. At this moment, they all put away their feelings for Xiao Jiujiu.
Zhou Teng smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a brilliant golden token appeared. It was the Demonic Token that everyone was fighting for in the secret realm.
"Zhou Chen, drop blood!"
Zhou Teng shouted softly at Zhou Chen, his eyes shining brightly.
Zhou Chen took a step forward with a solemn expression. A small knife appeared in his right hand and slashed directly into the palm of his left hand.
A long wound appeared in Zhou Chen's palm, and then blood dripped down the palm.
As blood fell on the golden token, the token suddenly changed. A word 'Devil' appeared on the front, and a word 'God' appeared on the back.
‘Demon’ represents the Heavenly Demon Sect, and ‘Shen’ represents the identity of the Son of God.
The two characters "魔" and "神" were sunken in the token.
As the blood dripped, it automatically entered the groove and gradually filled the gap in the groove.
It was strange to say that the word "魔" on the front was dripping, but the word "神" on the back kept pouring blood and filled up first.
Zhou Chen stopped when both "魔" and "神" were filled at the same time, and his face turned slightly pale.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Token moved, and the blood on it actually emitted a terrible blood-red light, swallowing the Heavenly Demon Token.
The Heavenly Demon Token floated and sank in the blood-red light, and then turned into a stream of light and directly entered Zhou Chen's brow.
At the moment when the Heavenly Demon Token entered Zhou Chen's brow, his momentum soared, and his cultivation began to rise.
His cultivation, which was already in the middle stage of the Heavenly Gate Realm, instantly reached the late stage of the Heavenly Gate Realm, and was still rising.
After a moment, he stopped directly at the peak of the Heavenly Gate Realm, only one step away from the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Chen, and a smile appeared on his lips.
At this moment, Zhou Chen looked only about 30 years old. Compared with the past in the Demon Heaven Sect, he was a world apart!
Zhou Yuan knew that in a month or so, Zhou Chen would enter the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!
The reason he didn't break through just now was because Zhou Teng, the ancestor of the Demon Heaven Sect, deliberately suppressed him.
Breaking through too quickly was not a good thing for Zhou Chen, and it would be much better if he suppressed it.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan understood a little bit that the competition between the Son of God and the Saintess was actually a competition for opportunity and luck.
