Chapter 1225: Tian Chan’s Proposal, The Path Of One’s Dao (3)
The quiet moment was broken as a figure in brilliant golden robes rushed into the hall, his face etched with urgency—Saint Shang Yue.
"Cai'er? Did the Heavenly Venerable return?" he asked breathlessly. "Did he leave any message?"
"Yes, the Heavenly Venerable just departed," she answered with remarkable composure. "He left three directives. First, the Wu Ji Holy Sect is to be renamed the 'Heavenly Venerable Temple.'"
"Good," Saint Shang Yue nodded approvingly.
"Second, the Heavenly Venerable's true name is 'Yuan,' so henceforth, he shall be known as 'Heavenly Venerable Yuan,'" she continued.
"Heavenly Venerable Yuan?" Saint Shang Yue repeated, momentarily stunned before nodding in acceptance.
"Third," Overlord Shang Cai's voice remained steady, "Heavenly Venerable Yuan has departed for the Grand Supreme Realm and will return only after countless ages have passed. In his absence, he has appointed me as the first hall master of the Heavenly Venerable Temple."
A gleam flashed in Saint Shang Yue's eyes. After a moment's consideration, he shook his head slightly. "Cai'er, without the Heavenly Venerable appearing in person, you have no proof. The other Saints won't submit to your authority on words alone."
"The Heavenly Venerable has bestowed his techniques upon me," she replied with quiet confidence, a faint smile on her lips. "I shall transmit his teachings—myriad Laws and Daos, the road to True Sainthood, all now within my grasp. The Saints will believe when they witness this truth."
"The road to True Sainthood?" Saint Shang Yue couldn't mask his astonishment.
"Beyond Saints lie True Saints, and beyond True Saints lie Zenithel Saints," Overlord Shang Cai explained, her gaze taking on an otherworldly quality as her aura subtly transformed. "The five steps of eternity—this is the Heavenly Venerable's guidance."
Yearning flickered unmistakably in Saint Shang Yue's eyes. He was beginning to believe that the Heavenly Venerable had indeed entrusted such profound knowledge to his daughter.
