#264 - Tianxuanmen Election

The moment the Guardian Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sect appeared that day, everyone knew that the Purple Haze Ceremony had truly begun.

Xia He, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Profound Sect, took out the Sect Leader's token of the Heavenly Profound Sect—the Profound Azure Sword—and then, holding the Profound Azure Sword in his hands, respectfully walked towards the Guardian Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Xia He arrived in front of the Guardian Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sect, holding the long sword in both hands, and bowed: "Disciple is the sixth-generation Sect Leader of the Heavenly Profound Sect! I am presiding over today's Purple Haze Ceremony, and I hope the Spirit God will bless us, and that my Heavenly Profound Sect will be prosperous for generations to come!"

As Xia He's words fell, the Guardian Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sect nodded blankly, and then with a wave of his hand, the long sword in Xia He's hand flew into the air, hanging above the treetops.

The next moment, the trunk of the Heavenly Profound Tree split open, and a mirror floated out from within.

And this was the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

When he saw this Heavenly Profound Mirror, Xu Ming's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

This was exactly what he wanted.

But now was not the time yet; he needed to wait a little longer.

He just didn't know if Mo Zhu'er's plan was going smoothly.

Thinking of this, Xu Ming looked in the direction of Mo Zhu'er.

Just as Xu Ming looked over, his eyes met with Mo Zhu'er's.

Mo Zhu'er's eyes were curved, and she looked very relaxed.

Looking at Mo Zhu'er like this, Xu Ming felt that there should be no accidents on Mo Zhu'er's side.

The Heavenly Profound Mirror continued to rise, eventually floating two hundred meters in the air.

Such a mirror was two hundred meters away, and in theory, it would only be a small dot in people's sight.

However, everyone could see it clearly, and within the Heavenly Profound Mirror, the entire Heavenly Profound Sect was reflected.

It was as if the entire Heavenly Profound Sect had merged into a painting, dissolving into this precious mirror.

Immediately afterwards, a ribbon passed through the dense leaves of the Heavenly Profound Tree.

And this was the third immortal weapon of the Heavenly Profound Sect—the Red Immortal Silk.

It was also at this moment that the Heavenly Profound Mirror, the Profound Azure Sword, and the Red Immortal Silk resonated, and the three immortal weapons simultaneously emitted light, illuminating the entire Heavenly Profound Sect.

The Purple Haze Ceremony was not just a simple symbolic event.

The Purple Haze Ceremony could also allow the three immortal weapons of the Heavenly Profound Sect to be born and nurture the entire Heavenly Profound Sect.

"Today is not only the Purple Haze Ceremony, but also the time for our Heavenly Profound Sect to select the Holy Son or Holy Daughter."

Xia He turned around and said to the crowd.

"The Holy Son and Holy Daughter are related to the future of a sect, related to the great plan of the sect for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!

The Holy Son and Holy Daughter must be supported by the public and be the choice in the hearts of the vast majority of people!

Today, we will select the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of our Heavenly Profound Sect, and they will be the future of our Heavenly Profound Sect. Everyone is here to witness this with this old man.

There are a total of five candidates for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of our Heavenly Profound Sect.

They are Qin Qingwan, He Qingqing, Chen Yun, Dugu Qiu, and Xia Donghua.

These five are the elites of the younger generation of our Heavenly Profound Sect, and they are the representatives of our Heavenly Profound Sect. Many disciples are also familiar with these five."

As he spoke, Xia He waved his hand, and a total of five jars floated in the air.

These five jars were each written with the names of the five of them.

"The selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of our Heavenly Profound Sect is different from other sects.

Other sects pass through trials.

But our Heavenly Profound Sect uses a voting election format.

Whether it is outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, personal disciples, direct disciples, or the deacons and elders of various peaks and halls, all can vote.

It's just that the weight of each person's vote is different.

Now, please use your spiritual power to activate your identity jade tokens."

Xia He's voice echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Profound Sect, and even those disciples who were not qualified to participate in the celebration could hear it.

And just as Xia He's voice fell, whether it was in Hundred Spring Plains or other locations of the Heavenly Profound Sect, there were whispers, as if they were discussing suitable candidates.

"The selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Profound Sect has always been like this since ancient times?" Xu Ming asked Wu Yanhan beside him.

Wu Yanhan, as the eldest princess of the Wu Kingdom, had a certain understanding of various sects.

Or rather, understanding these sects was a compulsory course for Wu Yanhan.

"That's right."

Wu Yanhan nodded.

"For most sects, the selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter is through some kind of trial, or by obtaining the approval of some kind of object.

But the Heavenly Profound Sect has always been different.

The founding ancestor of the Heavenly Profound Sect believed that people with high cultivation were not necessarily suitable to be sect leaders, and if a person with high talent became the sect leader, they would likely be affected by some complicated matters within the sect, eventually affecting their own cultivation.

Moreover, the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Profound Sect believed that fairness resided in people's hearts, and everyone had their own choice for the sect leader.

Therefore, the rule of the Heavenly Profound Sect is to select five disciples with excellent talent, and then everyone in the Heavenly Profound Sect votes.

However, the weight of each person's vote is different, generally with peak masters and hall masters greater than elders, elders greater than deacons, and deacons greater than direct disciples, and so on."

"It seems quite reasonable," Xu Ming said.

"Reasonable is reasonable, but it is not necessarily right."

Wu Yanhan slowly said.

"No matter where it is, there will be disputes. People who want to become the Holy Son and Holy Daughter may choose to package themselves.

Most disciples think they understand someone.

But in reality, it's just acting.

The fact that a hypocrite like Xia He can become the sect leader shows how well this hypocrite acted back then."

Xu Ming nodded, agreeing with Wu Yanhan's view.

And at this moment, the first ray of light flew in from somewhere and entered the jar with the name "He Qingqing" written on it.

Immediately afterwards came the second, third, and fourth rays.

Rays of light continued to gather, forming a dazzling river of light.

This river of light was divided into five streams of different thicknesses, merging into each jar.

Although it seemed like there had been a fierce discussion just now, and many people seemed a little hesitant, in reality, most people had already decided who to choose in their hearts.

"Although it doesn't matter who the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Profound Sect are, in your opinion, who will be the future sect leader of the Heavenly Profound Sect?" Wu Yanhan asked Xu Ming beside her.

"Does that even need to be said?"

Xu Ming shrugged.

"Whoever can bring them tangible benefits, they will choose them.

And coincidentally, Xia He is Xia Donghua's father."
