110: A dark and windy night is the best time to dig up graves.

Seeing Xiao Yan so neither humble nor arrogant, the Red-Haired Old Ancestor immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, as expected of one who has undergone the Awakening of the Dao Heart! With this Heart-Nature, he will surely become a Saint Realm Expert within a hundred years, and a Great Saint within a thousand years."

"As long as he develops steadily, I believe my Taixuan Sword Sect might just become the eleventh immortal-level power after ten thousand years," the Red-Haired Old Ancestor said with a satisfied smile, looking at Xiao Yan.

"Senior, you still haven't answered my question," Xiao Yan couldn't help but remind the Red-Haired Old Ancestor, who was grinning foolishly in front of him.

He now seriously suspected that this person was a bit neurotic; otherwise, why would he inexplicably grab him and then inexplicably burst into laughter?

Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, which was akin to looking at a fool, the Red-Haired Old Ancestor, as an old monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

"Child, let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Huang Zhenglong, known as the Divine Flame Saint. I am the Old Ancestor of this Taixuan Sword Sect."

"Today, when I saw you condensing your Dao Heart here, your whole body was enveloped in unique flames, which seems very suitable for Cultivating my Legacy."

"Therefore, I wish to take you as my last Disciple and impart to you the most powerful Cultivation Technique of my Taixuan Sword Sect," the Red-Haired Old Ancestor said with a smile, hoping to entice Xiao Yan.

"Senior, are you serious?" Xiao Yan instantly became overjoyed upon hearing the Red-Haired Old Ancestor's words.

After all, just a few days ago, he was still troubled by not being able to become a Core Disciple.

Now, he could suddenly become the Disciple of a Saint, how could he not feel excited?

Moreover, in Xiao Yan's opinion, the power of this Saint Realm Expert was quite extraordinary.

Although this Saint seemed a bit neurotic, it no longer mattered.

If Xiao Yan were to become his Disciple, even if Xiao Yan provoked the Xiao Family, the people of the Xiao Family would have to think twice before acting against Xiao Yan.

After all, a powerful Saint was not so easy to provoke.

If things went wrong, it could mean death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

"I always keep my word, so it is naturally true," the Red-Haired Old Ancestor said with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Yan being tempted by him, he was naturally in a good mood.

"Young man, how about it? Are you interested in becoming my Disciple?"

"As long as you become my Disciple, you can do whatever you want in the future, and I, your Master, will be your backing in everything."

"Disciple Xiao Yan greets Master," Xiao Yan quickly knelt on both knees, performing the Disciple-acceptance ceremony to the Red-Haired Old Ancestor.

He also took out a cup of tea from his Storage Ring and handed it to the Red-Haired Old Ancestor.

"Good, good, good, Disciple, please rise. From now on, you are the fifth-generation successor of my Fire God Lineage. You must Cultivate diligently in the future," the Red-Haired Old Ancestor said with a smile.

With that, he took out a Cultivation Technique called "Divine Fire Shaking Heaven Hammer" and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"This is the introductory Martial Skill of my Fire God Lineage. Once you Cultivate it to the Major Achievement stage, you can come to the ancestral land in the back mountain to formally Cultivate with me."

After the Red-Haired Old Ancestor finished speaking, he directly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only two sentences lingered in everyone's ears.

"From today onwards, Xiao Yan is the Saint of my Taixuan Sword Sect, with a status equal to the Sect Master."

"Xiao Yan, later you can go to the Sect Treasury and choose three treasures for your Cultivation. Work hard, I'm going back to sleep."

After these two sentences disappeared, all the Disciples of the Taixuan Sword Sect instantly seemed to have exploded into a frenzy.

They looked at Xiao Yan with envy, their faces filled with respect.

"We greet Saint!"

"We greet Saint!"

..."Everyone, rise," Xiao Yan said somewhat awkwardly, as he had never experienced such a scene before.

After he finished speaking, all the Disciples of the Taixuan Sword Sect stood up and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Oh my goodness, my Taixuan Sword Sect has never had a tradition of Saints since ancient times, but today it has been broken."

"Yes, according to the Sect's historical records, the Taixuan Sword Sect has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and there has never been any Divine Son or Saint. At most, a few sequence Disciples were chosen, but today, unexpectedly..."

"Is the Dao Heart really that powerful? The Old Ancestor himself appeared to take him as a Disciple and even made him a Saint."

"The Dao Heart, the Heart towards the Dao, Senior Brother Xiao Yan's Saint Realm is stable!" countless Disciples exclaimed.

Among them, many Disciples even silently changed their address for Xiao Yan to Senior Brother Xiao Yan.

All of this revealed Xiao Yan's moment of glory.

"Haha, is this what it feels like to be above others? It's really good," Xiao Yan said happily.

He was just about to head directly to the Sect Treasury to retrieve three treasures.

But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the Sect Master of the Taixuan Sword Sect.

"Saint Xiao Yan, wait."

"Hmm? Sect Master? Is there something you need me for?" Xiao Yan asked, stunned, almost not reacting to the address.

"Hehe, the Saint's status is supreme, so naturally, you can't live in a place with such thin Spiritual Qi anymore. As the Sect Master, I naturally have to arrange a new Immortal Cave for you," Sect Master Taixuan said with a smile.

Since the Old Ancestor had decreed Xiao Yan as the Saint of the Sword Sect, it meant that Xiao Yan would inherit the Legacy of the Taixuan Sword Sect in the future, and could be considered half of his successor.

As his half-successor, Sect Master Taixuan naturally had to pay close attention to Xiao Yan.

"Thank you," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

With that, he followed Sect Master Taixuan to choose his future residence.

Meanwhile, on the other side, with the help of Old Ancestor Lin Changqing, a Great Saint Realm Expert, Lin Xiao did not travel long before quickly arriving at the Taichu Dao Domain.

Upon arriving at the Taichu Dao Domain, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly marvel at the scenery of the Taichu Dao Domain.

"This Taichu Dao Domain is indeed somewhat different from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain," Lin Xiao said.

Because the Cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain usually wore knight-errant attire, like chivalrous heroes acting righteously in the Jianghu.

But upon arriving at the Taichu Dao Domain, it was somewhat different. Most of the people in the Taichu Dao Domain wore scholarly robes.

They did not look like Cultivators who would wield swords and spears at the slightest provocation, but rather like scholarly Cultivators who specialized in Confucianism.

"Normal, normal. The Taichu Dao Domain has always loved scholarly pursuits. The only two anomalies who enjoy wielding swords and spears are the Xiao Family and the Taixuan Sword Sect," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing said with a smile upon hearing Lin Xiao's words.

As an old monster who had lived for countless years, he naturally knew much more about these ancient things than Lin Xiao.

As the two talked, they quickly flew to the Xiao Family's base, the city gate of Sunset Ancient City.

Sunset Ancient City was an ancient city with a history of hundreds of millions of years.

It had gone through countless trials and tribulations to reach the present day with the Xiao Family.

As the largest city in the Taichu Dao Domain, Sunset Ancient City naturally had an extremely large population.

As soon as Lin Xiao and he entered the city, they saw various merchants from all corners of the world hawking their wares, many of whom were from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

"Old Ancestor, shall we act now?" Lin Xiao asked, looking at Old Ancestor Lin Changqing beside him.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's talk tonight. Life must have a sense of ritual. How can one dig up ancestral graves during the day?" Old Ancestor Lin Changqing said with a mysterious smile.

Lin Xiao nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed, although it sounds a bit strange, it makes a lot of sense."
