"I declare, from today onwards, Qin Hao is the Holy Son of my Xuantian Sect!"

"Elder Duan, you escort the Holy Son to the underground palace. There is a secret passage there that leads directly outside the Xuantian Sect! If, after three days, the Holy Son still hasn't broken through, you must escort him out of the Xuantian Sect and ensure his safety! As long as he is alive, my Xuantian Sect will still exist!"

After a moment of silence, Duan Changsheng, with a solemn expression, suddenly said.

"Holy Son?"

The Elder was slightly surprised.

The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect had not appeared for a very long time.

The position of the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect was extremely prestigious, equivalent to that of the Sect Master, and had strict requirements.

The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect was the leader of all disciples and possessed the power of life and death over the disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Many years ago, the Xuantian Sect, once dominating the world of martial arts, had the entire world bowing before the Holy Son. 

Unfortunately, the fallen Xuantian Sect had long been relegated to the ranks of second-rate sects, and the existence of the Holy Son had naturally disappeared.

But Qin Hao was different; he was a true Holy Son.

If even Qin Hao, who possessed the inheritance of the Great Emperor, wasn't qualified to be the Holy Son, then who would be?

"Sect Master, rest assured! Even if I have to risk my life, I will protect the safety of the Holy Son!"

The Elder's expression also became extremely solemn, with a deep reverence, as he bowed deeply to Duan Changsheng.

"May our Xuantian prosper!"

Duan Changsheng also bowed to the Elder.

"May our Xuantian prosper!"

"Sect Master, Elder! Don't make it seem like a farewell to life and death. With me here, the Xuantian Sect will not perish! I want to see who dares to come out this time!"

Qin Hao smiled proudly, his expression slightly moved.

He could see that both Duan Changsheng and the Elder had already made up their minds to sacrifice themselves for the Xuantian Sect.

But with the Emperor of Heaven present, who dared to speak of the destruction of the Xuantian Sect?

Anyone who dared to offend the Xuantian Sect would be killed!

...

Led by the Elder, Qin Hao entered the Xuantian Sect's treasure trove, which was also the most secret place of the Xuantian Sect.

Duan Changsheng left the Ancestral Hall and summoned all the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect, determined to defend the Xuantian Sect to the death, and announced some earth-shattering news.

"It has been confirmed that Shang Xi is a spy from the Beast-taming Sect, and Qin Hao has been appointed as the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect!"

This news shocked all the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

That Ninth Prince who was always in trouble, that waste who couldn't break through to the Qi Refining Realm for ten years, had actually become our Holy Son?

And Shang Xi, the senior brother, the talented disciple of the Xuantian Sect, turned out to be a spy from the Beast-taming Sect?

Even if Qin Hao wasn't a spy, how could he qualify to be the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect with his cultivation?

All the elders and disciples were dissatisfied, full of doubts and anger, and many even wanted Duan Changsheng to retract his decision.

But Duan Changsheng forcefully suppressed everyone, being extremely tough, and did not explain much, just leaving a sentence.

"Qin Hao is the one who can save the Xuantian Sect!"

This sentence made everyone even more puzzled.

But Duan Changsheng had no intention of explaining, and the pressure brought by the Beast-taming Sect quickly made everyone forget about this matter.

In fact, a month ago, the Beast-taming Sect had already sealed off the entire Xuantian Sect.

This month was a period of probing. Many people who couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to escape from the Xuantian Sect, without exception, all died at the hands of the Beast-taming Sect.

The power of the Beast-taming Sect made all the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect on the verge of collapse.

Now, all the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect combined amounted to less than a thousand people.

No one could escape, because the Beast-taming Sect had decided to destroy the entire Xuantian Sect.

Whether there was a Holy Son or not didn't matter; they were all on the brink of death anyway.

Under this atmosphere of despair, all the elders and disciples of the Xuantian Sect became silent and depressed, their heroic spirit ignited, determined to fight to the death for the Xuantian Sect.

Tragic!

Even though all the disciples of the Xuantian Sect had been instilled with the former glory of the Xuantian Sect, they still felt a sense of mourning for the imminent collapse of the great sect.

At the same time, Qin Hao entered the Xuantian Sect's treasure trove.

The treasure trove was located inside the mountain, also the core of the Xuantian Infinite Array, and only the Sect Master could enter here, not even the Elder had been here before.

But the Elder chose not to enter the treasure trove but stayed outside.

"Qin Hao, I'll guard you outside the treasure trove. I hope you can break through as soon as possible!"

The Elder sighed lightly, his whole person becoming even older.

"Elder, rest assured, with me here, the Xuantian Sect will not perish!"

Qin Hao smiled faintly and then walked into the treasure trove.

"A calf is not afraid of a tiger when it is born, youth is truly wonderful!"

"But you don't know the power of the Beast-taming Sect. The Sect Master appointed you as the Holy Son not because he hopes you can save the Xuantian Sect, that's too difficult! He just hopes to preserve a seed for the Xuantian Sect, so that when you are strong enough in the future, you can rebuild the Xuantian Sect!"

"I hope the Sect Master didn't choose the wrong person!"

As the heavy stone door closed again, the Elder muttered to himself, sitting down slowly outside the stone door, his figure desolate and lonely.

Inside the treasure trove, everything became clear.

"It turns out to be a spatial pocket?"

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He could see that this treasure trove contained overlapping spaces, independent of the void.

From the outside, the treasure trove appeared to be only tens of yards in size, but upon entering, Qin Hao discovered that the space inside the treasure trove was tens of thousands of yards in size.

Here was not only the treasure trove but also the most secret place of the Xuantian Sect. When encountering a major enemy, entering the treasure trove and activating the Xuantian Infinite Array would ensure the safety of the disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Unfortunately, after the Xuantian Infinite Array collapsed, the treasure trove, apart from being secretive, had no defensive

 capabilities.

The current treasure trove looked empty, with some damaged weapons piled up and over a dozen large boxes, each containing ten thousand spirit stones.

The entire Xuantian Sect, only had these tens of thousands of spirit stones, most of which were low-grade spirit stones, showing the dire situation of the Xuantian Sect.

If Qin Hao didn't need them, these spirit stones would probably have been distributed among the disciples long ago.

In the center of the treasure trove was a dried-up Spirit Spring.

It was enveloped in a faint light, originally the place where the Xuantian Divine Liquid was produced, but after the collapse of the Xuantian Infinite Array, it dried up as well.

In the end, Qin Hao found ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid in a jade bottle.

Crack!

The jade bottle opened, and the Xuantian Divine Liquid inside looked like ambrosia, crystal clear and exuding a rich fragrance, making Qin Hao feel comfortable all over, as if every pore in his body had opened.

"In my previous life, Xuantian used Xuantian Divine Liquid to brew tea for me. I wonder where he is now?"

Qin Hao sighed lightly, looking at the Xuantian Divine Liquid, a deep nostalgia in his eyes.

A million years ago, Xuantian had not yet become an Emperor.

Qin Hao guessed that Xuantian became an Emperor after his battle with the Demon Ancestor, but he didn't know where Xuantian was now?

He believed that Xuantian was definitely not dead.

"Since I have been reborn, the Demon Ancestor must not be dead either! The battle between him and me has not ended yet. In this life, I must surpass my previous life, reach the peak, and then completely kill the Demon Ancestor!"

A sharp light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and an invincible aura pervaded his body.

Time was running out for him, so he had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible to face the future great enemy.

"With these ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid, it should be enough to regenerate the Five Elements Source Bones in my body and then open the Sea of ​​Consciousness!"

Qin Hao felt the immense vitality contained in the Xuantian Divine Liquid and muttered to himself.

He had awakened the immortal soul that never dies and understood the past and present. He also realized why he couldn't break through to the Qi Refining Realm even after ten years of cultivation.

Qin Hao was not a waste; on the contrary, he was a one-in-a-million genius, possessing the Five Elements Sacred Body, born with the Five Elements Source Bones, naturally compatible with the power of the Five Elements.

But when he was very young, the Five Elements Source Bones in his body were dug out by someone.

With the Five Elements Source Bones dug out, his Five Elements Sacred Body was completely ruined, and the power of the Five Elements accumulated in his body blocked the bridge between heaven and earth, preventing him from opening the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Not to mention ten years, even if Qin Hao continued to cultivate for twenty years or a hundred years, he would not be able to break through to the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm.

The Five Elements Source Bones were dug out when Qin Hao was very young, so he didn't know that he used to be the Five Elements Sacred Body.

After realizing the situation in his body, Qin Hao also had a plan to break through.

That was to use the immense vitality to regenerate the Five Elements Source Bones, then refine the power of the Five Elements in his body, open all the meridians in his body, and then open the Sea of ​​Consciousness to break through to the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm.

The Xuantian Divine Liquid contained an immense vitality.

"It seems that my identity in this life is not simple. I was so young when my Five Elements Source Bones were dug out, my adoptive father must know. But why didn't he stop it? Or was he unable to stop it?"

Qin Hao smiled faintly, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and the most urgent matter was still to solve the crisis of the Xuantian Sect.

"With these ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid, even if I can't completely regenerate the Five Elements Source Bones, I can regenerate a part of them, enough for me to break through!"

Qin Hao thought to himself.

He didn't directly swallow the ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid. In order to maximize the effect of the Xuantian Divine Liquid, Qin Hao took out all the tens of thousands of spirit stones and set up a Gathering Spirit Array.

"Formation, activate!"

Qin Hao sat cross-legged in the Gathering Spirit Array, thunder rolling in his mouth, and with a light drink, a powerful pressure spread out. In an instant, a dense spiritual mist filled his surroundings, and all the tens of thousands of spirit stones floated up without exception.

Strands of spiritual energy emanated, emitting a brilliant light, vaguely corresponding to the acupuncture points all over Qin Hao's body, like a sky full of stars.

The majestic spiritual energy surged forth, pouring into his body from his acupuncture points.

Without any hesitation, Qin Hao directly opened the jade bottle and swallowed the ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid in one gulp.
