Gao Yan would not deliberately eavesdrop on the women's conversations.
But they didn't hide their conversation from him, so he naturally heard everything clearly.
"Holy Son, do I also have the chance to become the Holy Son?"
He smiled and didn't take it to heart.
It's said that one can rise to a higher position if recommended by more than half of the true disciples, but these true disciples each have outstanding disciples, so why would they recommend him?
Why not recommend your own disciple instead of him?
Furthermore, his displayed aptitude, talent, and cultivation ability are quite astonishing.
However, being too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing. After all, if one's talent and aptitude are too strong, and one's future achievements are too great, then it will be difficult to control.
Therefore, Qin Mi and the other women only saw one side of the scene and did not see the other two sides.
Moreover, if he becomes the Holy Son, he will inevitably oppose the Xiahou family. He has no interest in being a pawn of the other four families, or a weapon against the Xiahou family.
Besides, with the system at his disposal, he doesn't need to rely on others at all; his strength can steadily improve. Why should he demean himself and act like a dog for others?
So, just listen to the idea of striving to become a holy son; there's no need to take it seriously.
After Qin Mi and the others left.
Yin Yutong found Gao Yan.
"Junior brother, did you hear the conversation between your senior sisters earlier? What are your thoughts on it?"
"No!"
Loud words and a decisive tone.
Yin Yutong advised, "Why don't you give it a try? Our master has a certain status in the Xiao family, and Uncle Shen is also a Void Realm expert. If the other families also support you, your chances of taking the position are quite high!"
"Senior sister, you're too naive!"
Gao Yan smiled and then analyzed the pros and cons for Yin Yutong.
After listening, Yin Yutong fell silent. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and her eyes turned icy cold: "Could it be that the three of them were instructed by someone to deliberately test you, Junior Brother?"
"It shouldn't be!"
Gao Yan shook his head: "The three of them are outstanding among the true disciples, and they have a high probability of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. They have almost secured their positions as true disciples and elders. Since it is impossible for them to obtain more, there is no need for them to get involved in this matter!"
“That’s true!” Yin Yutong thought about it and realized that, as her junior brother said, Qin Mi and the other two women did not need to participate in the conflict between the five major factions.
At this moment, in the Xiahou Secret Realm.
A high-level meeting is underway.
All attendees had at least the cultivation level of the Void Realm.
The meeting was chaired by Xiahou Wushuang, the patriarch of the Xiahou family.
He was the eldest disciple of the Holy Sword Saint, the founder of the Nine Saints Sect.
He was also the first sect leader of the Nine Saints Sect.
He has now reached the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm, but unfortunately, he has never been able to break through to the Saint Realm.
Because he had no hope of breaking through, he was extremely power-hungry.
Although he had long since stepped down as the sect leader of the Nine Saints Sect, he still held considerable power in the Xiahou family.
His greatest wish was to turn the Nine Saints Sect into a one-man show run by the Xiahou family.
"Jing'er's breakthrough has further enhanced the foundation of our Xiahou family, and she deserves a reward!"
As they were talking, Xiahou Wushuang tossed him a fist-sized ball of golden energy.
Upon seeing this golden energy cluster, the eyes of all the Dao Integration experts present became burning with fervor.
Because this golden energy cluster is the purest form of Dao energy, it can nourish one's own Dao. For someone like Xiahou Jing, who has just entered the Dao Integration stage, having such a cluster of Dao energy can directly stabilize his newly broken-through realm.
It can save at least several hundred years of time.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Xiahou Jing, who had withdrawn his Dao energy, quickly stood up and knelt down to pay his respects. He was a direct descendant of Xiahou Wushuang, and there was nothing shameful about kneeling before his ancestor!
"Cultivate diligently, and don't disgrace the Xiahou family!"
Xiahou Wushuang was very satisfied to see Xiahou Jing being exceptionally respectful to her.
"Rest assured, Ancestor, this junior will certainly not let you down!"
"Get up and go back to your seat!"
"yes!"
"Alright!" Xiahou Wushuang raised his voice: "Jing'er's breakthrough will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other four families, and may even lead to their alliance!"
Back then, the Nine Sages who founded the sect also took in many disciples.
However, only a few can reach the level of Dao Integration.
Most of them succumb to the erosion of time and eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth.
Therefore, only five disciples remain of the original nine founders.
These five disciples were also the founders of the five major families of the Nine Saints Sect.
However, the other four patriarchs were not as skilled or fortunate as him.
A Dao Integration Realm expert should theoretically have a lifespan of only about 30,000 years.
However, during his time in the Void Realm, he accidentally consumed a divine medicine that granted him tens of thousands of years of extra lifespan. Otherwise, he would have already passed away before breaking through to the Saint Realm.
The ancestors of the other four families were much younger than him, and three of them were already close to 30,000 years old and wouldn't live much longer.
The last person was also over 20,000 years old. Although he still had more than 10,000 years left to live, he might not be able to surpass him!
That is why he developed the ambition to develop the Nine Saints Sect into a family-run empire.
As for whether the nine Saint Realm experts will intervene!
Are you worried that he will become too powerful?
The answer is no.
Having reached the sacred realm, their pursuits have changed.
When they founded the Nine Saints Sect, they also hoped to leave behind a legacy.
As long as Xiahou Wushuang no longer controls the entire Nine Saints Sect and destroys the sect, the nine Saint Realm experts will hardly interfere.
After all, it was three thousand years ago.
Although the one who defected from the Xuanming Sect greatly angered the nine Saint Realm experts, did they not investigate the hidden matters?
