Chapter 826
The Holy Son's Might, Immortal! Celestial King Quota
boom!
The earth shook violently, and a giant of ice rose from the ground, lifting Shen Zhixin and her chair into his right hand.
"What is that?!"
Everyone was shocked. How could an ice giant suddenly appear?
I didn't see Li Xuanbing do anything; he just raised his hand and was able to conjure such a huge ice giant.
What kind of method is this? It's simply unbelievable.
"I didn't pay close attention when I was dueling with the Holy Son during the assessment, but seeing it now, it's truly breathtaking."
Su Sheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Wen Wanyu and Liu Rui stood at the front of their respective mountain teams without saying a word, but their eyes revealed their complete acceptance.
Just based on that skill, they probably won't be able to catch up in their entire lives. You have to admire them.
"Li Xuanbing, come up here too."
Sect Master Shen Zhixin said calmly.
"Yes."
Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting, then leaped onto the left hand of the Extreme Cold Soldier Spirit.
Grandma Qian announced loudly, "Now we will proceed with the crowning ceremony for the Holy Son. The Sect Master will personally crown the Holy Son."
Swish.
Everyone then saw that Sect Leader Shen Zhixin suddenly had an ice crown in her hand. This ice crown shone with a golden light and looked extraordinary.
"This is the Ice Spirit Crown of our Ice Spirit Sect. It has been sealed in our Ice Spirit Sect's treasury for many years, and now it finally has the opportunity to appear in the world and has found its master."
Shen Zhixin said loudly, then flew to Zhang Lingshan and put the Ice Spirit Crown on Zhang Lingshan's head.
"This Ice Spirit Crown has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, improving comprehension, and making your cultivation speed twice as effective."
Shen Zhixin introduced in a low voice.
Zhang Lingshan knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing this crown upon us! I, Li Xuanbing, will do everything in my power to restore the Ice Spirit Sect to its former glory! To make the Ice Spirit Sect great once again!"
"Let the Ice Spirit Sect be great again!"
Shen Zhixin murmured something, then shouted, "Let the Ice Spirit Sect be great again!"
"Let the Ice Spirit Sect be great again!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their voices soaring into the sky that even the clouds seemed startled and hurriedly moved aside, allowing the brilliant sunlight to pour down and fall directly onto Zhang Lingshan's head.
The golden sunlight, combined with the Ice Spirit Crown on Zhang Lingshan's head, made Zhang Lingshan himself glow with golden light, his dazzling figure causing everyone to marvel.
Could it truly be the will of Heaven? Otherwise, how could such an extraordinary phenomenon occur?
"Li Xuanbing, now that you have become a Holy Son, you are a role model for all the disciples of the Ice Spirit Sect. You must set an example for everyone."
Shen Zhixin said in a deep voice.
Zhang Lingshan replied, "Yes!"
"Then let's talk."
Shen Zhixin stepped aside and returned to the right hand of the Extreme Cold Weapon Spirit, handing the stage over to Zhang Lingshan.
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly and said loudly, "Everyone, as a newly appointed Holy Son, I haven't prepared any gifts for you. I'll just give you these Extreme Cold Weapon Spirits. Go and study them."
talking.
He waved his right hand in the air.
Swish swish!
He unleashed eight icy runes that circled his body, sending them flying in all directions.
The eight icy talismans swiftly transformed in the air into eight enormous, extremely cold military spirits, which stood in the eight directions of east, south, west, and north, and then landed on the ground with a thud, becoming eight conspicuous landmarks.
Everyone was stunned.
The fact that the opponent could casually conjure an ice giant was unbelievable, but still within the realm of understanding.
This move instantly conjured eight ice giants, each with a different form.
Those with keen eyesight can immediately see that these eight ice giants seem to each have their own unique characteristics, and each ice giant seems to fit in some inexplicable way with the environment in which it is located.
Before these eight ice giants, the Ice Spirit Sect, as an ancient and powerful sect, had carefully considered its terrain, and its layout was not simply random.
Normally, if someone suddenly created eight enormous creatures around the area, it would definitely disrupt the terrain and even damage the feng shui of the Ice Spirit Sect.
but.
The eight ice giants that Zhang Lingshan conjured not only did not disrupt the feng shui, but on the contrary, seemed to have added an aura to the entire Ice Spirit Sect.
That indescribable aura invigorated everyone, making them feel as if they were about to touch something.
Some ordinary disciples who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation felt as if something had exploded in their minds, and they suddenly had a sudden realization.
"I have achieved the Perfection of the Mystic Immortal Realm!"
"After being stuck for so long, it suddenly reached perfection. What kind of power is this?"
"I've achieved perfection too, how did this happen?"
"Could it be the effect of the eight ice giants activated by the Holy Son?"
"impossible."
"It really has such miraculous effects?"
"Could it be that the Holy Son was sent by Heaven to save us?"
"With the Holy Son here, our Ice Spirit Sect is truly going to become great again."
Everyone gasped in surprise.
so horrible.
With the power of a single person and the eight ice giants he condensed, he was able to instantly enlighten those below the Golden Immortal level, greatly enhancing their understanding of ice spiritual energy.
And this is just the beginning.
The aura emanating from those eight ice giants continued unabated; who knows how long it would last.
As long as the Holy Son is there, it can probably continue indefinitely.
In other words, all of them will be in a state of sudden enlightenment at all times, and their cultivation efficiency will increase by more than ten times.
Everyone says that the Ice Spirit Sect is an ancient and powerful sect, but these disciples don't really understand it.
Today, they truly understand what it means to be a powerful sect for all ages.
A sacred ground that can accelerate their cultivation is what truly deserves to be called an eternally powerful sect.
Without the Holy Son Li Xuanbing, what kind of eternally powerful sect is the Ice Spirit Sect?
In other words.
Only now has their Ice Spirit Sect finally revealed the aura of an ancient and powerful sect.
"Long live the Holy Son!"
"Holy Son, immortal!"
"The Holy Son is immortal!"
The ordinary disciples couldn't help but worship him.
Having been stuck in the shackles of cultivation for so many years, they thought it would be difficult to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they broke through with the help of the Holy Son.
From this day forward, the Holy Son is their second parent; it is the Holy Son who has given them the means to continue their spiritual practice.
How could one not kneel down in worship and proclaim immortality?
They only hoped that Zhang Lingshan could live on, stay in their Ice Spirit Sect, and continue to bestow upon them these ice giants, so that they could continue to break through and cultivate to the strongest.
Seeing the ordinary disciples worshipping so fervently, Granny Qian couldn't help but exchange a glance with Shen Zhixin. "I never expected that such a simple ceremony for the crowning of the Holy Son would make this kid stand out so much."
Shen Zhixin smiled and shook her head: "In my opinion, given time, this kid's prestige will surpass mine, and I will be a sect leader in name only."
"When that time comes, we can leave the Ice Spirit Sect and go outside to find an opportunity to break through to the Immortal Venerable realm."
Grandma Qian smiled and said, "So, this is a good thing."
"It's a good thing. I'm very relieved to entrust the Ice Spirit Sect to this child. It's just that the chance of becoming a Celestial Venerable is so slim. I'm still a little reluctant to leave the Ice Spirit Sect. I'm afraid that once I leave, I may never be able to come back."
Shen Zhixin couldn't help but sigh.
Grandma Qian said, "No matter how slim the chances are, we have to fight for it. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope. If we don't fight for it, our lives are truly over."
"Yes."
Shen Zhixin nodded, then fell silent, feeling a strange mix of emotions.
Just then.
Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, and the world was instantly covered in white.
then.
Snowflakes from all directions suddenly coalesced into a giant ice lotus, lifting a woman with a white veil and graceful figure into the air.
Who else could it be but the Ice Fairy, Kong Ruobing?
"What are they trying to do?"
Shen Zhixin was taken aback, and saw that Granny Qian also looked astonished.
Then Zhang Lingshan announced loudly, "Since this is the first time you've met me, you may not know that my becoming the Holy Son of our Ice Spirit Sect is entirely thanks to Lady Ice Immortal, the sect leader's granddaughter, Kong Ruobing. We've known each other for a long time and are deeply in love; we're a match made in heaven. So, today I'm not asking for your opinions, but simply informing you to come to our wedding another day. Goodbye."
That's all.
Zhang Lingshan, not wanting to waste any more time, leaped onto the ice lotus, picked up Kong Ruobing, and flew towards his Holy Son Peak.
"That kid!"
When Shen Zhixin saw Zhang Lingshan take her maid away without permission, she immediately cursed him in annoyance.
Aunt Qian said, "When I went to call him just now, I don't know what he was busy with. He didn't take the Holy Son's coronation ceremony seriously at all. But the surprise he brought to everyone at this ceremony will be unforgettable. So, Sect Master, don't worry, even if he takes Ruobing away, he won't let Ruobing suffer. He is a grateful person, we have all seen that."
Shen Zhixin said, "I'm not saying Ruobing will suffer a loss. What I mean is, the Holy Son's coronation ceremony ended so hastily? It really came and went quickly. If it weren't for these nine Extreme Cold Weapon Spirits still being there, who would know what just happened?"
"Isn't that enough?"
Grandma Qian laughed and said, "I don't understand your Ice Spirit Sect's techniques, but with the existence of these nine Extreme Cold Weapon Spirits, the Ice Spirit Sect's strength will soon increase several times over. Look, Ji Buyi has already jumped into the hand of an Extreme Cold Weapon Spirit and started to comprehend it. I estimate that he should be breaking through to Immortal King soon. Once a spot for a prodigy is vacated, the prodigy assessment can be reopened."
"Starting the prodigy assessment is a waste of resources and manpower."
Shen Zhixin sighed.
These two openings in such a short period of time required him and several peak members to consume a large amount of immortal spiritual power.
Fortunately, with the addition of Ji Buyi, the new Immortal King, they should be able to share some of the burden.
However, for Ji Buyi to break through to the Immortal King level, their Ice Spirit Sect would first need to secure an Immortal King spot.
The number of Immortal Kings is not as high as the number of Golden Immortals.
The Ice Spirit Sect has plenty of Golden Immortal slots; they can buy them in bulk. For example, those who have successfully broken through to the Perfect Profound Immortal realm today can all be sent to the Golden Immortal Pavilion in bulk to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
but.
The position of Immortal King is indeed extremely difficult to obtain.
Located within the Great Qing Dynasty, no matter how tough Shen Zhixin is with words or how powerful the Ice Spirit Sect's backing is, in general, she still has to listen to the Great Qing Dynasty.
At least for this Immortal King spot, the Immortal King Pavilion won't let the Ice Spirit Sect in, and the people from the Ice Spirit Sect can't get in either.
It should be noted that the Ice Spirit Sect currently has a total of six Immortal Kings, including Granny Qian.
Within the Great Qing Dynasty, where Immortal Venerables are the highest level of power, the Ice Spirit Sect, with its six Immortal Kings, is undoubtedly a formidable force.
However, the Ice Spirit Sect is not a force that is absolutely subservient to the Great Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, he was a thorn in the side of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Although it's not appropriate to deal with him directly out of respect for the powerful Immortal Venerable Kong Nangui, it's inevitable that he'll sabotage you behind the scenes.
For example, they might block your spot as a Celestial King!
As long as you're not given a Celestial King title, no matter how many Celestial Lords your Ice Spirit Sect produces, they'll still be considered second-rate.
In the Great Qing Dynasty, a sect can only be called a top-tier sect if it has more than ten peak Immortal Kings.
Six to ten peak Immortal Kings—that's a first-rate sect.
Two to six peak Immortal Kings constitute a second-rate sect.
A peak Immortal King is only third-rate.
A sect that only has Immortal Lords is a second-rate sect.
It is clear that even a Celestial Lord is not a rank. No matter how high Ji Buyi's talent is, he will still be a rank unless he breaks through to the Celestial King level.
Currently, the Ice Spirit Sect only has two peak Immortal Kings.
One of them is Sect Master Shen Zhixin. With the help of Kong Nangui, coupled with his advanced age and the countless years he has experienced, he finally cultivated to the peak of the Immortal King realm with the blessing of the Ice Spirit Sect's heritage.
The other woman, Granny Qian, was a complete outsider. She wasn't a member of the Ice Spirit Sect at all, but rather a powerful figure from the Glazed Tile Sect.
If it weren't for Granny Qian, the Ice Spirit Sect wouldn't even be considered a second-rate sect.
Either Shen Zhixin saw Zhang Lingshan as a savior and, without even asking Kong Ruobing's opinion, was determined to tie Zhang Lingshan to his Ice Spirit Sect.
Because if they didn't bring Zhang Lingshan in as captain, their ship would probably crash into a large reef and sink soon.
They kept shouting that they wanted to make the Ice Spirit Sect, an ancient and powerful sect, great again, but it wasn't until she saw Zhang Lingshan that Shen Zhixin realized that this slogan was not just a slogan, but a possible future.
"We're only a second-rate sect right now, not enough to make the Great Qing Dynasty wary. Although they'll still try to trip us up, we should be able to get Ji Buyi's Immortal King spot if we think of a way."
Grandma Qian comforted her.
Shen Zhixin said, "What I'm worried about now is that if we don't get Zhang Lingshan's Immortal King spot, then all our efforts will be in vain. This one step will be the death knell for us."
Grandma Qian said, "If all else fails, then call Mr. Kong back and have him get Zhang Lingshan a spot as a Celestial King."
"Returning south with the help of Confucius?"
Shen Zhixin shook her head, her expression somewhat grave: "I'm afraid you can't count on him. He doesn't care about anyone, he only loves himself. You haven't seen him many times, and you've been deceived by his appearance. If you get to know him better, you'll realize how terrifying he is. Unless absolutely necessary, never let him appear in the Ice Spirit Sect again."
Grandma Qian felt a chill run down her spine.
It's rare to see Shen Zhixin with this expression; it seems that Kong Nangui really can't be relied on.
Even if they could rely on him, Zhang Lingshan would probably have to pay a huge price for it.
Therefore, as Shen Zhixin said, it's best not to let Kong Nan return to the Ice Spirit Sect; it would be a curse rather than a blessing.
“Zhang Lingshan still has a lot of time to cultivate to the peak of Immortal Lord. Let’s leave the Daqing Dynasty and take a gamble. If we can manage to become an Immortal Venerable, we can solve this problem.”
Grandma Qian offered another suggestion.
Shen Zhixin sighed, "Well, that's all we can do. By the way, our Ice Spirit Sect has produced a Holy Son. Tell everyone to keep their mouths shut and not be too high-profile, otherwise it will be detrimental to Zhang Lingshan in the future."
"Yes, I will inform all the peak masters immediately and tell them to keep their disciples' mouths shut. But after today, many people will be going to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, and there are no secrets that can be kept forever, so it will eventually be exposed."
"That's what Grandma Qian said."
Shen Zhixin said, "Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can. External influence is still influence. Zhang Lingshan also needs this influence to help him overcome obstacles and reach the top. There is no such thing as absolute perfection in the world. Fortune and misfortune are always intertwined. Let's take it one step at a time."
Granny Qian nodded and said, "The Holy Son is blessed with good fortune. With his ascended body, he was able to escape from the prison of the Anning Army and cultivate to such a level. This is truly a great destiny, and he is bound to create miracles." (End of this chapter)
