Xuanjizi did not notice Zhou Xingdou's abnormality. His Daoist eyes gazed at the ancient sun shining over the nine regions in the sky, and he nodded slowly, saying:

"Stars, the auspicious time has arrived; enter the altar for coronation."

Stephen Chow instantly dispelled the chaos in his mind, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward with ease.

At that moment, he seemed to merge with the surrounding space, his figure gradually becoming blurred and eventually disappearing into the void.

When he reappeared, he was already in the very center of the Xuantian Altar. At that moment, the Xuantian Altar suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and countless mysterious runes and patterns emerged from all directions, converging into a dazzling sea of ​​light.

As melodious and ancient Taoist chants rang out, these notes, like celestial music, echoed throughout the entire Xuantian Taoist Sect.

Those who heard this Daoist chant immediately felt their souls greatly purified and enlightened. Their thoughts became exceptionally clear, and all the distracting ideas in their minds vanished without a trace.

Some people, influenced by the Daoist teachings, couldn't help but sit cross-legged and begin to comprehend the profound principles contained within, while others even directly entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

Zhou Xingdou stood quietly in the center of the Xuantian Altar, feeling the rich Daoist aura surrounding him.

Even now, he slowly closed his eyes, listening intently to the beautiful sounds of the Dao, immersing himself in the endless mysteries of the Great Dao.

At this moment, Xuanjizi also appeared in the center of the Xuantian Altar. He stood steadily in front of Zhou Xingdou, his expression solemn and dignified, as if he were carrying an immeasurable burden. He slowly spoke:

"At the beginning of the primordial era, the two emperors, Jiu Xuan and Jiu Tian, ​​established the Xuan Tian Dao Sect. Over countless years, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect has experienced endless ups and downs, yet it still firmly sits among the supreme immortals of the primordial era. People revere it as one of the leaders of the righteous path in the world, which is a great honor."

Xuanjizi's voice was deep and powerful at this moment, as if every word contained endless power and profound meaning, which made people feel awe and respect.

But Xuanjizi didn't stop talking, and with a look of shame on his face, he said:

“But nowadays people say that Xuantian has no successor and there is a lack of successors. Although he has more than 10,000 disciples, none of them can shoulder the heavy responsibility. Xuanji is ashamed to be the master of Xuantian Dao.”

It is common knowledge that the Xuantian Dao Sect is facing a generational gap. The generation of Tian Jiu'er and Xuanjizi was so strong, but the current generation of young disciples is just as weak. In fact, apart from Zhou Xingdou's generation, there is not a single disciple who has reached the Saint Realm.

But then Xuanjizi changed the subject:

"But fortunately, the Great Dao protected him. Xuan Tian obtained a disciple, Zhou Xingdou, a prodigy of heaven. At the age of twenty-one, he cultivated to the Saint Realm, possessing an unparalleled Dao Body and unmatched combat power. He was also exceptionally intelligent and had extraordinary comprehension. With a pure heart, he quelled injustices in the world, stopped wars at the beginning of time, and created merit for all living beings. His virtue can be called that of a sage of the time, and his kindness made heaven and earth weep with pity."

Zhou Xingdou didn't blush at Xuanjizi's words; he felt that he was indeed right.

But Bai Yulong below the Xuantian Altar was dumbfounded. He agreed with the first half of the sentence, but if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really wouldn't have recognized that it was about his elder brother.

To have the heart of a child? More like having a naked heart!

What kind of virtues can be called those of a sage of our time, whose kindness moves heaven and earth to tears? That's utter bullshit.

Of course, having learned his lesson, Bai Yulong wouldn't reveal his true colors again; he only grumbled inwardly. After all, if Zhou Xingdou were to hear his inner thoughts, he would likely be in trouble.

Yuan Tian, ​​who was seated in the Divine Martial Sect, couldn't help but blush for his young master, since he was Zhou Xingdou's confidant and had been involved in all of Zhou Xingdou's affairs, big and small.

Enslaving fellow elders, brainwashing innocent young girls, forcibly taking over the Liu family and its matriarch, seizing the Crown Princess and Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty... and so on. None of these things have anything to do with the description of Zhou Xingdou, yet each one was done by Zhou Xingdou.

Fortunately, these deeds are unknown to the world, and Zhou Xingdou is praised by the world for mediating the war between the two immortals of the Tai Shi Dao Domain.

Therefore, most people present were not offended by these words; on the contrary, they all looked at Stephen Chow with a hint of respect.

Xuanjizi exhaled a long breath of pure air, raised his hands in a gesture of respect to the eight directions, and then a thunderous Daoist voice resounded:

"Such a true dragon and genius has entered my Xuantian, which is a blessing for Xuantian. I, Xuanjizi, am the Dao Master of Xuantian, representing all the ancestors of Xuantian, the Nine Heavens and Nine Xuan Peaks, the Five Halls of Xuantian Peak, and the Inner and Outer Gates."

Zhou Xingdou, the chief disciple of Li Jiuxuan Peak, the first disciple of Luoxia Sword Immortal, and the young emperor of the Zhou family, is hereby appointed as—the Profound Heaven Dao Child.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar resounded, echoing through the heavens.

In an instant, the once calm and peaceful Xuantian Dao Sect became a turbulent place!

The spiritual energy river encircling the Xuan Tian Dao Sect began to churn violently, stirring up waves of turbulent water; the immortal plants growing within the sect swayed incessantly, as if cheering and jumping for joy; and the spirit birds inhabiting the mountains and forests cried out in unison, as if congratulating Zhou Xingdou.

At the same time, the protective array suddenly shone with dazzling light, its brilliance overwhelming the eye.

Immediately afterwards, the three immortal mountains floating above the nine heavens—Xuantian Peak, Jiutian Peak, and Jiuxuan Peak—simultaneously emitted a dazzling divine light, like three sharp swords slicing through the sky, shooting straight towards the center of the Xuantian Altar.

When the three divine rays converged, they instantly merged into a treasure exuding a mysterious aura. This treasure was pale blue, engraved with exquisite dragon patterns and shimmering cloud and star designs, resembling a rare and priceless gem.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that there seem to be laws flowing inside the jade crown, emanating a terrifying Daoist aura that makes one's heart tremble.

Even more astonishing is that two ancient characters are engraved above the jade crown—Xuantian! The strokes of these two characters are vigorous and powerful, like dragons and phoenixes dancing, revealing an unparalleled majesty.

Just one glance is enough to feel the endless mystery and profound secrets contained within.

Zhou Xingdou also opened his eyes at this moment. His silvery-white eyes, filled with purple aura, narrowed as he looked at the Xuan Tian Jade Crown and shouted:

"I am the Dao Child of Xuantian, and I shall fight for Xuantian to win the heart of Heaven in this world, and dominate the Nine Realms for countless years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuan Tian Jade Crown seemed to sense something and began to tremble slightly. Then, it emitted a cheerful buzzing sound.

In an instant, the Xuan Tian Jade Crown transformed into a dazzling aurora, hurtling towards Zhou Xingdou like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the aurora had reached Zhou Xingdou and then enveloped him tightly at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, a row of ancient and mysterious characters flashed through Zhou Xingdou's mind—the Nine-Nine Mysterious Heaven Creation Manual.

These words, like dazzling stars in the night sky, shone brightly and were deeply imprinted on his soul. Each word contained endless mysteries and power, as if grasping their essence would grant him the most powerful secrets in the world.
