Countless inner disciples, upon seeing Lin Ang, were left with a singular thought: such a person should not exist in this world.
As everyone’s eyes frantically focused on Lin Ang, amidst the clamor, a distinct cracking sound echoed.
Crack!!
They spun to see…
The colossal spirit-testing stone, seemingly unable to bear Lin Ang's immense luck, was riddled with golden cracks!
Finally, accompanied by a violent shattering sound, the entire spirit-measuring stone exploded into a shower of fragments, scattering in all directions!
"The stele… it broke???"
Witnessing this scene, several Supreme Elders at the peak of Inner Gate Mountain could no longer remain seated.
Among them, Supreme Elder Ying Xuanzi frowned.
Could it be… Lin Ang’s talent wasn't merely on the legendary level?
Pondering this, Ying Xuanzi waved his sleeves, his voice indifferent: "Your name is Lin Ang, correct?"
"Come to the mountaintop. Let a few of us observe your future luck!"
As his words fell, the countless disciples present and the representatives from other sect forces were even more dumbfounded!
Who was Ying Xuanzi?
He was the Grand Elder of Qingyun Daozong, second only to the Sect Master. His cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level, making him almost invincible in this world—a legendary figure!
Now… the Supreme Elder himself was stepping forward to observe a disciple's luck!
This was unprecedented!
"This disciple accepts the order."
Lin Ang slightly clasped his fists and ascended the mountain in a few strides.
Below, tens of thousands of outer disciples could only gaze up at Lin Ang, as if he were a deity.
Reaching the summit of Inner Gate Mountain, Lin Ang approached the seat where the Supreme Elders were gathered.
He bowed, "Disciple Lin Ang greets the Supreme Elders."
Ying Xuanzi nodded. His eyes, like burning embers, held a golden glow as he looked directly at Lin Ang below, as if his gaze could penetrate a thousand years.
‘The Supreme Elder has opened his Sky Eyes…’
‘Is he trying to glimpse Lin Ang’s future?’
Beside him, Daozi Qiu Ruohan stood tall and graceful, like a fairy. Her beautiful eyes watched Lin Ang and the Supreme Elder.
However…
In the very next second, Ying Xuanzi seemed to suffer a backlash and hastily withdrew his gaze. His aged face suddenly became quite strange.
It took several deep breaths before he managed to recover.
"What’s wrong?"
On the side, several other Supreme Elders, seeing this, quickly inquired.
Ying Xuanzi, as the Grand Elder of Qingyun Daozong, had spent thousands of years cultivating to the Grandmaster realm. He was also proficient in celestial phenomena, able to discern heavenly secrets at a glance!
It was said that decades ago, when Qingyun Daozong faced a great catastrophe, it was Ying Xuanzi who opened his Sky Eyes to peer into the secrets, at the cost of his own lifespan, forcibly helping Qingyun Daozong survive the ordeal!
"This child… is no small matter!!!"
Ying Xuanzi said in shock, "I cannot see his future clearly; there are only countless golden lights shining."
"Perhaps…"
Ying Xuanzi paused, then slowly continued, "Perhaps his future is far more brilliant than I can observe!"
Aside, the other six Supreme Elders exchanged glances.
"A Tianjiao has emerged. Then, what status will Lin Ang be granted upon entering the inner sect?" the Second Elder, Kun Yuanzi, asked.
The Great Elder Ying Xuanzi had already made his decision.
He slowly rose, his voice indifferent, yet imbued with the unwavering coercion of a thousand years, spreading across the world: "From this moment, Lin Ang is registered as the First Chief."
"He is the head of the ten chiefs, and also…"
"The candidate for the next Daozi."
This decision was final.
In truth, as early as when Lin Ang's Supreme Bone manifested a vision in the outer gate, this arrangement had already been made.
Not far away, Qiu Ruohan also suddenly realized upon hearing these words.
Currently, there were only nine of the ten chief disciples of Qingyun Daozong. The missing First Chief had never been replaced.
A hint of understanding emerged in Qiu Ruohan's beautiful eyes.
It turned out…
The position of First Chief was reserved solely for Lin Ang, awaiting his entry into the inner sect.
The chief disciple held an honorable status. Within Qingyun Daozong, they surpassed all direct disciples and true disciples.
They could directly listen to the Supreme Elder’s teachings or seek direct guidance from the Sect Master.
Especially the First Chief!
He was the confirmed candidate for the next Daozi. He was even more qualified to participate in the Holy Land election and contend for the position of Holy Son.
Hearing Ying Xuanzi’s words, countless inner and outer disciples, even ordinary elders, all bowed slightly at this moment.
A respectful voice spread for a hundred li: "Yes, Chief Lin Ang."
"Greetings, Chief Lin Ang!!"
And above the inner gate square…
