Shi Buyi wasn’t the only one who was stunned by those words. Lu Xuan was quite surprised as well; he never expected Xuanyangzi to have been bold enough to make such a decision like that.

Based on what Xuanyangzi had just said, Lu Xuan could tell that the Immemorial Path was definitely facing opposition from some kind of force. The faction opposing them might’ve even been huge enough to pose a threat to the Immemorial Path. Given Xuanyangzi’s status and powers being known throughout the place as being among the best, he wouldn’t have been so high-strung about it otherwise.

Despite the circ.u.mstances, Xuanyangzi still dared to promise to make Liu Haotian his successor.

Lu Xuan was somewhat shaken by what he just heard. At first, he thought about taking Liu Haotian with him. From there, he would’ve waited for his body to have reached a state of nirvana before taking the boy back to Earth with him.

While the Earth’s cultivation conditions were nowhere as good as the Holy Sun Continent just yet, Liu Haotian still wasn’t very powerful. By the time he became an adult, Earth would at least have recovered enough for its cultivation conditions to be on par with the Holy Sun Continent. Perhaps the conditions on Earth would’ve even surpa.s.sed those of the Holy Sun Continent.

The way Lu Xuan saw it, Liu Haotian wasn’t the only relative that he had left throughout the entire Holy Sun Continent. The boy was also a very promising seed.

He knew just how overwhelmingly powerful that someone who possessed the born Taoism apt.i.tude could be. Even then, every single person with such an apt.i.tude couldn’t achieve the same things that Lu Xuan had done.

When nurtured meticulously, however, every such person still had a chance to go just as far.

Some of them might’ve even been capable of breaking through the maximum limit; they could become Celestial Lords.

As such, he had no intentions of leaving Liu Haotian behind on the Holy Sun Continent. While the environment in the Holy Sun Continent was far better than in the Earth and the Blessed Enclave, he saw the Holy Sun Continent to be no different from an average world.

There were many worlds throughout the cosmos. Some were planets like Earth, while others were interdimensional planes that were encrusted into the cosmos like jewels and shined like the stars.

The Holy Sun Continent was one example of an interdimensional plane. While Lu Xuan was incapable of a.n.a.lyzing the entire structure of the continent, he still abided by his own judgment.

He saw that the Holy Sun Continent had reached the standard of a middle-cla.s.s world. The Divine Transformation Realm was the trademark level of combat prowess for such worlds.

Such a world could only be considered middle-cla.s.s if there were fighters who were at the Divine Transformation Realm. The most powerful of these worlds would’ve been led by those who were beyond the Divine Transformation Realm.

Above the middle-cla.s.s worlds lied the truly terrifying upper-cla.s.s worlds, which usually existed on their very own and were completely self-sufficient. Without anything to guide them, one could search through the cosmos for the rest of their lives without ever finding an upper-cla.s.s world.

Such worlds were only accessible through specific methods.

If such upper-cla.s.s worlds were to be materialized in the cosmos, they would’ve had diameters surpa.s.sing 1000 lightyears. With such huge worlds possessing such powerful fighters, those from lower-cla.s.s worlds would’ve seen them as mystical deities.

Lu Xuan had been one of the most powerful fighters who had traveled through all three cla.s.ses of worlds back in his past life. He wouldn’t have dismissed the importance of a middle-cla.s.s world otherwise.

However, what Xuanyangzi said at the moment had shaken him somewhat. Although the Holy Sun Continent wasn’t the best choice, it was still the most conducive for Liu Haotian’s growth.

Liu Haotian was born and raised on the continent throughout his life. That was what made him different from an outsider like Lu Xuan.

The continent would’ve likely been more suitable for Liu Haotian to grow in. At the very least, that seemed to be the case right now; none of them needed to be very concerned about the shackles of the world.

The Holy Sun Continent was just an average middle-cla.s.s world. As such, it was very normal for cultivators to have been lacking in some way.

However, that was simple enough for Lu Xuan to circ.u.mvent. The Innate Sacred Sutra which he pa.s.sed onto Liu Haotian had completely embedded itself into the boy’s mind. As long as Liu Haotian’s level continued to grow, he would’ve naturally unlocked cultivation methods of higher levels.

Lu Xuan could then teach the boy ways to leave the Holy Sun Continent and go to greater worlds to make further breakthroughs when the boy saw the need to.

That was because Xuanyangzi being willing to do his best to foster the boy might’ve been more beneficial than having Lu Xuan around as a mentor.

Xuanyangzi had the support of a behemoth like the Immemorial Path, after all. That meant that the resources the man had access to far eclipsed that of Lu Xuan at his current state.

Since it was very unlikely that Xuanyangzi could make any further progress from this point, he could devote all of his being to foster Liu Haotian. Lu Xuan’s case was different; he needed to devote all of his time and energy to make his own breakthroughs in time.

As such, leaving Liu Haotian with the Immemorial Path became quite a viable option.

As one of the best possible candidates to become the next sectmaster, Shi Buyi was utterly shocked by this. If Xuanyangzi was willing to guide the boy personally, it would’ve made sense for the boy to become the next sectmaster before he even reached adulthood.

Shi Buyi found it all very difficult to stomach.

This was something that he had fought so long and hard for. He saw no reason to give it up just because the contender was someone of the sacred bloodline.

Shi Buyi gritted his teeth as he stepped up and said, “I object, Sectmaster!”

Xuanyangzi took one look at Shi Buyi and sighed, yet there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

No one knew how much Xuangyangzi was drawn to Shi Buyi’s courage. Without even a bit of that courage, a cultivator would’ve encountered many obstacles in the future as they went along their path.

“I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more.”

n.o.body in the Holy Sun Continent ever explicitly stated such a thing, yet their facial expressions were enough to express it.

Shi Buyi was one of the promising pillars that Xuanyangzi was fond of. Such talents were selected throughout countless who were in the Holy Sun Continent. Only a handful of people within the entire immemorial Path were capable of standing on the same level as Shi Buyi.

Xuanyangzi would have been disappointed if Shi Buyi lacked the guts to even try to fight for what was supposed to be his, but that didn’t mean he was going to change his mind on the matter.

Hardly anyone within the younger generation cared about those of the sacred bloodline. Naturally, they didn’t know how powerful the sacred ones truly were.

The sacred ancestor had turned around the fate of the Holy Sun Continent all on his own. All of the sacred ones who emerged afterward had the power to reign supreme throughout the continent as well.

Eventually, each of their achievements surpa.s.sed what was possible within the Divine Transformation Realm.

That was Xuanyangzi’s true goal. That was his bit of personal agenda in the whole matter, aside from wanting to preserve the belief that led to the sect’s establishment.

If he could foster Liu Haotian enough for the boy to surpa.s.s the Divine Transformation Realm, he probably would’ve been able to learn something from it as well. That would allow him to make a breakthrough into the Divine Transformation Realm.

To everyone’s surprise, Liu Haotian stepped forward and said, “I don’t need anyone to name me a successor to anything.”

The boy still looked to be a bit childish, yet his bearing was completely different from that of other children at his age.

Xuanyangzi looked rather pleased when he heard what Liu Haotian said. That meant that the boy had thought about staying behind.

Shi Buyi wore a rather surprised expression as he looked at this child, whom he hardly thought anything of before.

Even if he was of the sacred bloodline, Liu Haotian was still just a boy.
