Chapter 48 Promoted to Holy Son, Wield the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel!
On Green Bamboo Peak.
A hundred disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, dressed in white robes, arrived riding the wind. Among them was a ten-zhang-long magic treasure spiritual boat.
The boat was shaped like a dragon, with exquisite azure dragon patterns carved on both sides of its hull, so lifelike they seemed ready to fly out.
The spiritual boat eventually stopped outside Lin Xuan's courtyard. A path of seven-colored clouds unfurled, forming a cloud ladder.
Beside the spiritual boat stood a graceful woman in a white dress. This was the accompanying Holy Land elder, Li Qianrou.
"We welcome the Holy Son!"
The hundred disciples said in unison.
Among these one hundred-plus Holy Land disciples, nearly half were core disciples. It could be said that all the core disciples within the Nine Heavens Holy Land had been summoned.
Lin Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.
Afterward, he brought Zhao Ling'er aboard the spiritual boat.
"Holy Son Lin, congratulations!"
On the spiritual boat, Li Qianrou glanced at Zhao Ling'er, then her gaze fell upon Lin Xuan, and she spoke with a very polite tone.
She, Li Qianrou, was merely an inner sect elder, while Lin Xuan, as a Holy Son, held a status second only to the sect master, so naturally, she could not afford to offend him.
Lin Xuan nodded in response.
A moment later.
The spiritual boat rose into the air and, under the escort of the hundred disciples, flew swiftly toward the sect's main peak.
On the Nine Heavens Square of the sect's main peak, many inner sect elders and nearly ten thousand disciples were waiting for something.
After a long while.
The spiritual boat finally emerged from the vast clouds and descended upon the square.
Lin Xuan walked down from the spiritual boat alone and steadily made his way to the high platform for the coronation.
Gongsun Chi, dressed in a white Confucian robe, stood up from a high platform dozens of steps away from Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, from this day forward, under the witness of all the disciples and elders of the sect, you are the Holy Son of my Nine Heavens Holy Land. You shall now command this Sun and Moon Golden Wheel!"
Although Gongsun Chi's voice was not loud, it reached the ears of every single disciple.
As his words fell.
A afterimage flew out from his sleeve.
The afterimage, like a shooting star, flew to Lin Xuan and transformed into a crescent-shaped, sharp golden wheel. Its entire body was a pale cyan color.
As it rotated around him, Lin Xuan could even sense the lingering meaning of wind spirits, making his entire body feel much lighter.
Immediately, Lin Xuan opened the system's detection function.
Nickname: Sun and Moon Golden Wheel
Type: Magical Artifact
Grade: Ninth Grade, Ninth Rank
This was a magic treasure comparable to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and it had already developed a trace of spiritual intelligence within it.
Although it was the weakest, ninth rank, if he used it well, combining the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel with the Great Wind Blade Art would be incredibly powerful.
An ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would definitely be suppressed. Even against a Spirit Transformation Realm demon or monster, by utilizing the strangeness of the Great Void Art and the irresistible nature of the Great Heart Demon Art, he estimated he could kill the opponent.
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a drop of essence blood flew out, merging into the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel.
After that drop of essence blood seeped into the golden wheel, he felt that a connection had been established with it.
Lin Xuan felt somewhat emotional.
In the game of his previous life, this Sun and Moon Golden Wheel had been obtained by Murong Qianqian. She had also successfully deceived everyone, and even the ancestors of the Nine Heavens Holy Land failed to detect her true identity.
Later, through a series of arrangements by Murong Qianqian, over one thousand three hundred core disciples were harmed, and the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land suffered a heavy blow.
This made it even more difficult for the Nine Heavens Holy Land to exercise jurisdiction and control over its territory.
Stroking the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel with its cool, metallic texture, a trace of killing intent could not help but appear in Lin Xuan's eyes. The tragic history of the past would not be repeated, and the arrangements of those several demon and monster races would be completely destroyed by him.
"Congratulations, Holy Son!"
After the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel acknowledged its master, cheers surged from all directions, their momentum magnificent.
An hour later, all the tedious procedures were completed.
Lin Xuan then followed Gongsun Chi to the inner hall of the sect's main peak.
At the same time.
Without any superfluous words, Lin Xuan presented the recording from a few days ago, showing the demon clan spies attempting to assassinate him on Green Bamboo Peak.
After watching it, Gongsun Chi, who originally had a rather refined temperament, clenched his fists.
"These detestable demon clan spies!"
Gongsun Chi said with resentment.
"Holy Lord, I know the biggest demon clan spy hidden within the Nine Heavens Holy Land, including some other demon clan traitors. I am already aware of their specific identities. Even if there are any who escape the net, I can root them out!"
Subsequently, Lin Xuan said with a firm tone.
"You can see through the demon clan spies hidden in the Holy Land!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Chi was somewhat shocked.
Because every disciple who joins the Nine Heavens Holy Land must be inspected by the Bright Demon Mirror. For demon clan spies that even a ninth-grade magic treasure cannot identify, Lin Xuan's statement inevitably surprised Gongsun Chi.
"Holy Lord, in fact, what I inherited is the legacy of the North Ming Emperor. I am especially sensitive to demonic energy, and I also have the ability to devour it!"
Next, with a thought from Lin Xuan, a wisp of demonic energy emerged from his right hand.
The sinister demonic energy made Gongsun Chi's eyes widen in shock, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
Gongsun Chi was well aware of the North Ming Emperor's methods.
"This is wonderful, truly unexpected. The legacy you inherited is actually that of the North Ming Emperor. Heaven truly blesses my Nine Heavens Holy Land. These demon clan spies have always been a vexation for us, but we have never been able to find a suitable method to root them out!"
Gongsun Chi said with delight.
Afterward, Lin Xuan took out a list he had prepared long ago and handed it to Gongsun Chi.
On the list.
From top to bottom were the demon clan spies within the Nine Heavens Holy Land. According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, there were as many as thirty-seven.
As for the rest he did not yet know of, Lin Xuan only needed to take a tour around the various major peaks, and with the system's detection function, he could apprehend them all.
The first name on the list was Wang Song, a powerful expert at the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Union Realm from the Nine Heavens Holy Land's Elder Council.
The Elder Council of the Nine Heavens Holy Land was the center of power, consisting of eighteen powerful experts at the late-stage Dao Union Realm. Their authority to make decisions was even one level higher than Gongsun Chi's.
"Wang Song of the Elder Council, how is that possible!"
When Gongsun Chi saw the first name on the list, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed.
He knew clearly how difficult it was to join the Elder Council. Every member of the Elder Council was a Holy Son in their youth.
After scanning through all the people on the list, his eyes filled with anger.
Among the people on this list, there were even two from the Enforcement Hall.
"Holy Lord, this is a Demon-Attracting Jade Talisman I personally refined. Each one is for a single use. As long as the talisman is brought within three meters of a demon clan spy, it can draw out the demonic energy hidden within their body."
Lin Xuan handed the jade talismans, which he had refined using some of his own essence blood, to Gongsun Chi.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the ancestors. You should return to Green Bamboo Peak for now!"
Gongsun Chi said.
"Holy Lord, I need to borrow two Spirit Void Realm elders from the Enforcement Hall to help me root out the demon clan spies on the other major peaks and completely eliminate these cancers from within the Nine Heavens Holy Land!"
Lin Xuan said.
