In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Elder Zhou's aptitude isn't particularly outstanding. Even if the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Dao trace dissipates and the Golden Age fully arrives, he'll still only be a king.

But then again, once I leave Beidou, it's enough that he can keep an eye on the Ruthless Clan and keep the Dragon Head Peak Master from causing trouble; he doesn't need to conquer the Ancient Star Road.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Holy Son Ceremony was held as scheduled.

Early in the morning, the entire holy land was bustling with activity, with countless disciples getting up early to prepare for the grand ceremony.

The auspicious hour has arrived. Holy light surrounds Yaoguang Peak, and the bell tolls six times, resounding for tens of thousands of miles.

The Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders slowly descended from the summit. Every hundred meters, two Supreme Elders would stay behind and stand on either side. In the end, only the Holy Lord himself walked to the tens of thousands of disciples.

After he stood still, he looked around at the disciples of Yaoguang and said loudly, "Begin."

"By the decree of the Holy Lord, the grand ceremony for the ascension of the newly enthroned Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land begins..."

"By the decree of the Holy Lord, the grand ceremony for the ascension of the newly enthroned Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land begins..."

……

"...Radiant light pierces the sun, the sound of the Dao fills the sky...Inheriting the profound Dharma, illuminating all realms..."

Fifty-six Supreme Elders shouted in unison, causing a change in heaven and earth. Ten thousand rays of light poured down, and ancient Dao patterns shone brightly.

Countless disciples in white robes stood solemnly, their expressions devout and passionate, witnessing together the grand ceremony of Lü Yao's ascension to the throne as the Holy Son.

Normally, the Holy Son Ceremony does not require fifty-six powerful beings to serve as attendants, but Lü Yao is different. He cultivates quickly, has strong combat power, is in the Seven Forbidden Zones, and has received the full support of the Holy Lord.

Naturally, when they saw Lü Yao defeat Yao Guang, they assumed it was the Seven Forbidden Ones.

However, from an abnormal perspective, Lü Yao had already gone extremely far in the Divine Forbidden Zone.

More importantly, just three days ago, when the Holy Lord summoned them, they were told that the Holy Son was able to fully revive the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and resonate with the Imperial Weapon.

The previous Holy Son couldn't resonate with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, and I'm afraid the Ji family's divine body can't resonate with the Void Ancient Mirror either.

Even if he is not an imperial son, only someone with the bloodline of a great emperor who has returned to his ancestral lineage could do this. I wonder where Dragon Head Peak got an imperial seed from.

Therefore, Lü Yao is very likely the strongest holy son in the history of Yao Guang Holy Land.

If he were to succeed as Holy Lord in the future, and then remember that he didn't attend the Holy Son Ceremony, wouldn't he be doomed?

A holy light suddenly paved the way from the top of Yaoguang Peak, and Lü Yao appeared.

Dressed in a gilded white robe, with an upright posture and 108 divine rings that could not conceal his sharp aura, he slowly walked from the mountaintop to the Holy Lord's side.

The Holy Lord faced Lü Yao: "Your Dao pervades the heavens and your virtue illuminates the universe. Now, with profound rites, I hereby appoint you as the Holy Son of Yao Guang and bestow upon you the Dao Seal. May you hold the banner of Yao Guang, quell the disturbances of the eight directions, inherit the legacy of the Holy Land, and forever illuminate the world."

"Disciple understands."

Lu Yao crossed his arms and leaned slightly forward in a gesture of respect.

The Holy Lord then picked up the Holy Seal at his waist and imprinted a Dao Seal between his eyebrows. A complex golden mark appeared, which was proof of the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

The Dao Seal of the previous generation's Holy Son was personally removed by the Holy Lord three days ago using the Holy Seal.

The entire audience erupted in thunderous cheers, the sound waves soaring into the sky, fully demonstrating the Yao Guang disciples' reverence and support for the new Holy Son.

The elders of Yaoguang were beaming with pride, their eyes filled with anticipation. They knew that having a powerful Holy Son meant that the Holy Land's rule over the Southern Region would be even more secure in the future.

This mysterious and powerful new Holy Son will surely lead Yao Guang to an even more glorious future.

"Greetings, Holy Son!" The elders were the first to bow.

"Greetings, Holy Son!" Elder Hualong and his disciples bowed and greeted the new Holy Son.

"I am the Holy Son, and I shall suppress all enemies!"

Lu Yao looked up and gazed into the distance. As far as his eyes could see, all he could see were the white robes of the Yao Guang disciples, a vast white sea.

The shouts shook the floating islands in the sky, and the clouds shattered.

Since it was not the Holy Lord's enthronement ceremony, the preparation time was only three days, and the messengers who came were just the Dragon Transformation Elders from various holy lands and ancient religions in the Southern Region.

At this moment, the elders on the viewing platform who witnessed this scene had solemn expressions.

"Just who is this new Holy Son? Why is the Yao Guang Holy Land taking him so seriously?"

"have no idea."

"I do know a little about it," someone said, stroking his white beard with an air of nonchalance.

"Tell me quickly, stop keeping me in suspense."

"More than two years ago, this person killed the son of a powerful figure in the Ji family and was wanted throughout the Eastern Wilderness. The Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family have clashed many times. It is said that the gates of the Ji family were smashed by powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land."

"This is really..." The listeners looked at each other. Conflicts between extreme forces have always been terrifying. Could they pull out imperial weapons during the fight?

"I also heard that the previous Holy Son of Yao Guang was defeated by him in one move."

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. "The previous Holy Son of Yao Guang was already incredibly talented, on par with the Divine Body, yet he couldn't withstand a single attack?"

Some say, "In this era of great strife, countless prodigies emerge. Among them are the Holy Son of Yao Guang, the Divine Physician of the Ji family, the exceptional talent of the Jiang family, and numerous holy sons and daughters from various holy lands. Who will ultimately prevail?"

The elders present were all from various powerful factions. Looking at the people around them, they wondered if the other party's Holy Son was also a prodigy. He was like Lü Yao, who remained silent until he made a stunning debut.

It is worth mentioning that even the Ji family sent an elder, not only to observe the ceremony, but also to present a letter personally delivered by the Holy Lord of the Ji family.

......

"Holy Son, the Ji family has set the date for the Grand Xuan Banquet."

Holy Maiden Yao Xi, acting on the orders of the Holy Lord, came personally to deliver this news.

"Two months later, Xiyue Mountain, this area is within the territory of the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Understood," Lü Yao said.

Two months? He'll probably reach the fourth level of the third realm in two months.

If I cultivate in the two great secret realms of Lunhai and Daogong for another two months, will I be able to rival the level of Immortal One?

For a normal cultivator, cultivating a single secret realm would consume a great deal of time, even more difficult than cultivating the five major secret realms. But he was different. Because the scriptures would awaken, coupled with the special nature of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, a Celestial Venerable phantom awakened in a secret realm to cultivate for him.

Other cultivators are not unaware that simultaneously cultivating the five secret realms will make them even stronger, but unfortunately, they cannot do it; they cannot use cheat codes.

He often feels an unbearable burning sensation in his mind, as if a tiny person is about to be born from it at any moment.

Lu Yao said calmly, "Then it will be two months from now. You and Yao Guang will be by my side then."

Saintess Yao Xi whispered, "Five people, plus Zhang Hengtao and Luo Jiantong, two candidates for Saint Son."

"Zhang Hengtao?" This name seems familiar.

Oh right, it was the candidate for sainthood that I defeated.

"Didn't he lose his position as the candidate for Holy Son?" Lu Yao asked.

Saintess Yao Xi looked at the cave entrance with a strange expression and whispered, "A few days ago, he stormed up Dayan Peak and defeated a candidate saint. After returning, the Dayan Peak Master was furious."

Lu Yao suddenly realized why Poker Face had disappeared for two days; it turned out his territory had been challenged, and he had gone back to beat his disciples.

However, on the other hand, the fact that he, Yao Guang, and Zhang Hengtao have appeared one after another at Longshou Peak is quite remarkable. Perhaps Yao Guang Sheng should truly belong to the Longshou Peak lineage.

But now... with his own ruthless brother's brother, the Yao Guang Holy Land must be surnamed Lü.

"Poker... Peak Master Dayan protected me and neglected the cultivation of his disciples. I feel guilty. It seems I need to talk to the Holy Lord and find a Supreme Elder who is good at preaching for Dayan Peak."

Lu Yao's voice kept coming from inside the cave, and a figure slowly appeared under the withered vines outside the cave.

His expression remained cold and expressionless, but there seemed to be emotions flowing in his eyes.

The two spoke intermittently: "...Your little brother, Holy Son, was captured by the Supreme Elder of the Ji family after he came out of the Fire Domain. He used the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron to fill it with a bunch of Five-Colored Divine Fire and burned a Supreme Elder to death. The Ji family was furious and sent many cultivators to capture him."

Oh, by the way, the Ji family's little princess is still in his hands; I wonder where the two of them have gone to hide.

"A powerful being?" Lü Yao raised an eyebrow.

"A supreme elder at the first level of immortality."

"Oh." At this moment, Lü Yao was calculating in his heart that the Zhuofeng inheritance of the Tai Xuan Sect was about to be opened.
