Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Streams of spiritual light entered the three altars.

As the last ray of light entered the altar, the three altars began to shake incessantly.

These three altars were covered with strange carvings, resembling river channels.

The light that entered the altars was like streams of water, gradually filling them.

However, the carvings on some altars were not completely filled, while on others, the carvings were not only filled but also shone even brighter.

Among them, the carvings on He Qingqing's altar were not completely filled.

The carvings on Dugu Qiu's altar were similar to He Qingqing's.

On the other hand, the carvings on Qin Qingwan's and Chen Yun's altars were not only filled but also radiated dazzling light.

However, compared to Xia Donghua, these few were completely overshadowed.

The light emanating from the altar with the three words "Xia Donghua" completely eclipsed the others.

It was as if Xia Donghua was the bright moon in the night sky, while the others were merely stars.

Without a doubt, Xia was the one "everyone expected."

Whether it was truly "everyone expected" was unknown.

What was clear was that Xia Donghua had completely surpassed his competitors in this election and become the Holy Son.

"Donghua, it seems more people support you," Xia He said, looking at his son with a smile.

"Your son is terrified," Xia Donghua quickly bowed and said loudly, "Whether it's Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Qin, or Senior Sister He and Junior Brother Dugu, they are all more outstanding than me. They are all more suitable to be the Sect Leader of the Tianxuan Sect and lead the Tianxuan Sect to a new world."

"Donghua, you are too modest," an elder stepped forward and said.

"Yes, Donghua, being too modest is equal to being proud," said the master of a hall.

"Since everyone has chosen you, it means you are the one everyone expects. You must take on this responsibility properly," a peak master said.

"Donghua, everyone has seen your growth. No one will doubt your ability to become the Holy Son," another elder said.

Xia He nodded and patted his son's shoulder: "That's right, since you have been chosen, you must bear this responsibility. Don't disappoint us and the disciples in the sect."

Xia Donghua looked very excited: "Yes! Father! Your son will definitely devote himself to the Tianxuan Sect and live up to the expectations of the past sect leaders!"

"Good!"

Xia He turned around and announced to the crowd: "Everyone, please be a witness. From today onwards, Xia Donghua will be the Holy Son of the Tianxuan Sect. I hope everyone will take care of him in the future."

"Congratulations, Holy Son," the crowd said in unison, supporting Xia Donghua.

Whether Xia Donghua's appointment as the Holy Son was truly what everyone expected, and whether there was any trickery involved, was none of Xu Ming's business.

Anyway, he was not a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect.

"Thank you, seniors, thank you, fellow Daoists. If Donghua does anything inappropriate in the future, please point it out and bear with me," Xia Donghua returned the greeting.

"Alright, go. Now that you have been chosen as the Holy Son, come with me to pay respects to the guardian spirit of the Tianxuan Sect," Xia He said to his son, his eyes seemingly filled with earnest hope for his son.

To be honest, the acting of these two father and son made Xu Ming feel disgusted.

Indeed, like father, like son.

These two people had simply brought the word "hypocrisy" to its fullest.

"Yes, Father."

Xia Donghua followed his father to the guardian spirit of the Tianxuan Sect.

The guardian spirit looked at Xia He, then at Xia Donghua, with a somewhat dull expression.

Xu Ming didn't know if it was just his imagination.

He always felt that this sect's guardian spirit didn't seem very intelligent.

"Logically speaking, shouldn't such guardian spirits have intelligence?" Xu Ming asked Wu Yanhai.

Wu Yanhai rolled her eyes at Xu Ming: "Guardian spirits are like people, everyone has a different personality. How do you know they don't have intelligence? Maybe they just don't want to talk?"

"..." Xu Ming felt there was some truth to that.

In the eyes of the crowd, they only saw the guardian spirit extend a hand and place it on Xia Donghua's head.

The three magical treasures of the Tianxuan Sect were trembling, as if they wanted to acknowledge Xia Donghua as the Holy Son of the Tianxuan Sect.

At this moment, Xia He suddenly raised his head, reached out his hand, and directly plunged it into the chest of the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit.

The Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit stared blankly at Xia He.

The others also looked at Xia He in surprise, not knowing what he was doing.

In the next moment.

Xia He pulled out the heart of the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit.

Her heart was a translucent green.

Green blood slowly flowed from the corner of the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit's mouth.

Immediately afterward, Xia He took out a box from his storage bag. The box opened, revealing a black heart inside.

Xia He directly stuffed the black heart into the guardian spirit's chest.

The guardian spirit's wound gradually healed, accepting a brand new heart.

"Ahhhhh! ! !"

The guardian spirit, who was originally like a forest queen, opened her arms and screamed to the sky incessantly.

The Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit seemed to be corroded.

Her hair and her skirt gradually turned black.

Obscure and difficult-to-understand inscription carvings spread across her snow-white skin.

Xia He's entire action was very fast. From start to finish, it didn't even take half a breath, and the whole action was done in one go.

"Xia He! What exactly are you doing!"

An elder reacted, slammed the table, and quickly rushed towards Xia He.

Although this elder didn't know why Xia He was doing this, and didn't know what this black heart was, this elder knew that if this continued, the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit would have problems, and the Tianxuan Sect would have problems.

But just as this elder hadn't taken a few steps, he froze in place.

The elder looked down and saw a long sword piercing through his body.

"Qingwen! You actually! ! !"

Looking at the inscription on the sword, even if this elder didn't turn his head, he knew who it was.

He never expected that one of his most trusted junior nephews would actually kill him!

The elder named Qingwen approached him and slowly said, "The world has changed, Master Uncle. It's time for you old guys to sink to the bottom!"

Qingwen flipped the sword and slashed upwards, splitting the elder in half!

"Kill!"

With Qingwen's order.

The cultivators who had been unable to restrain themselves drew their weapons and slashed at the surrounding guests.
