Chapter 455: Chapter 415: Riding the Momentum

But this Daoist priestess before him was devastatingly beautiful and tall, nothing like that adorable little child.

And yet, something in her eyes and brow seemed somewhat similar to Sang Xiaowan.

A moment later, a thought struck Fang Yang like a bolt of lightning.

A girl changes so much as she grows up!

He instantly understood. The Daoist priestess before him was Sang Xiaowan.

’Am I a Young Venerable now?’ Fang Yang mused.

In terms of raw power and combat prowess, he already was, just based on his first aperture.

But according to the classifications used by Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady, he didn’t quite make the cut.

After all, his Celestial Destiny Mark was incomplete and needed to be repaired.

At this moment, everyone present was staring at Fang Yang, waiting for his answer.

After a moment, Fang Yang smiled nonchalantly. "I am not the same as the Great Sun Dragon Lady."

"Huh?" Sang Xiaowan blinked her bright eyes, her face showing confusion.

But being quick-witted and clever, she didn’t press the issue.

Meanwhile, hearing his words, many of the chosen talents secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, many of the chosen talents from the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life actually came to find Fang Yang.

They secretly congratulated him on his advancement, hoping he would take Sen Yue’s place and become the Celestial Destiny of the Xuan Realm.

Originally, many had believed that Fang Yang was highly likely to become a Young Venerable in the Tian Realm, robbing their Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life of the opportunity.

But now, times had changed, and everything was different.

They were finally going to see off this powerhouse, Fang Yang!

At this very moment, many chosen talents were congratulating Fang Yang, but their feelings were incredibly complex.

Because Fang Yang was just too "lucky"!

"Sen Yue is my big brother. Please don’t say such things again. Otherwise, I will take it as a provocation, and you will bear the consequences!"

Fang Yang scolded them sternly, putting on a perfect show.

This was the path of righteousness, not some Demon Dao.

There were many things that, even if you were overjoyed inside, you couldn’t let even a hint of it show on your face.

Of course, he was still in a very pleasant mood.

After all, at the very least, he could become the Celestial Destiny of the Xuan Realm.

With a bit more effort, it wasn’t impossible for him to become the Celestial Destiny of the Tian Realm and the Hong Realm as well.

Something that Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady had fought tooth and nail for but couldn’t achieve.

He had achieved it so effortlessly.

And this... this was all thanks to his hard work!

Seeking fortune, avoiding disaster, and activating life’s easy mode.

Good things happened one after another, while calamities retreated.

「Divine Light Mirror Manor.」

A gathering of Great Saints was assembled, handling the handover of various matters.

Thunder Control the Great Saint, the Purple Sky Manor Master, Chenri the Great Saint, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable, and others were present.

Perhaps because Han Wu the Sub-Venerable’s performance had been too outstanding, the handover of all matters was clearly being guided by his opinions.

Thunder Control the Great Saint, her fair face radiant, said, "That world suspected to be the Immortal Realm... we still don’t know the exact situation."

"In any case, Sen Yue has now vanished along with the Great Sun Dragon Lady."

"Furthermore, Sen Wei is still trapped in the Demon Emperor’s dream and won’t be able to return for at least ten years."

"Next, there will certainly be turmoil surrounding the Celestial Destiny seat of the Xuan Realm. How should we handle this?"

A group can’t be without a leader.

Without Sen Yue, it would be impossible to keep the young Great Saints in line.

Of course, Thunder Control the Great Saint was also aware that Fang Yang was actually the optimal choice.

But the current Han Wu the Sub-Venerable, with his supreme power, now had the ability to sway this matter.

If he were to forcefully delay things and wait for Sen Wei’s return before dealing with this major issue, it wasn’t out of the question.

But if he did that, he would be going against the great tide of events and would surely create a rift with Fang Yang.

’Han Wu, how will you handle this?’ Chenri the Great Saint narrowed his eyes, his mind running its own calculations.

’If Han Wu the Sub-Venerable really intends to push for Sen Wei, perhaps I, Chenri, can invest in Fang Yang instead.’

’After all, no matter how you look at it, my disciple Zither Immortal’s path to becoming a Great Saint still requires the help of a Golden Crow.’

’There’s no other way. The "Nine Suns Setting on Fusang" phenomenon is not easy to manifest.’

Meanwhile, the Purple Sky Manor Master on the other side remained silent, not saying a word.

No matter how close the alliance between the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and the Golden Clan was, their internal dynamics were vastly different.

...

Under the gazes of the assembled Great Saints, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable’s eyes flashed with a profound light as he spoke in a calm tone:

"I will fully support Ah Yang in taking Yue’Er’s place and suppress all who dissent. As for Wei’Er, you need not worry."

He stood tall and straight, giving a light flick of his sleeve as he spoke nonchalantly.

The implication was that he had the ability to push his own daughter, Sen Wei, into the realm of the Young Venerables.

This was an incredibly bold claim.

Young Venerables were not a dime a dozen.

However, his words carried an indescribable confidence that made all the Saints nod in agreement, feeling it to be true.

Although they weren’t entirely sure what made Han Wu the Sub-Venerable believe he could repeat with Sen Wei what he had accomplished with Sen Yue.

But after the recent earth-shattering battle, the various techniques Han Wu the Sub-Venerable had repeatedly unveiled forced them to believe him.

"It is best that you have made a decision."

Thunder Control the Great Saint smiled faintly, but then her expression turned serious. "The Demon Emperor’s successor has a World Tree Immortal Body. Han Wu, do you have any leads on this?"

The World Tree was as famous as the Kun Peng and the Nine Netherworld Lion, its reputation immense, and it was even rumored to be a Creator Deity.

According to the secrets of the Ancient Scriptures, even in the Immortal Realm, the World Tree was a supreme and forbidden existence.

And according to Thunder Control the Great Saint’s intelligence, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable’s late wife—Sen Wei’s mother—possessed a World Tree Sacred Body!

"That is the successor of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor. What leads could I possibly have?" Han Wu the Sub-Venerable’s expression was calm as he shook his head, but his thoughts had already begun to drift.
