A series of sacred soul inheritances descended from the sky, enveloping people from various sects in different inheritances.
Watching the golden light fall in waves, Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded. Did his Millennium Grand Festival really cause such a massive change?
He had only meant it metaphorically when he said he would take everyone across a thousand years to see the past, right?
But now, had he accidentally summoned the sacred souls from a thousand years ago with just a few words?
Wasn't this a bit too outrageous?
However, while other sects were receiving inheritances, the Grand Sky Sect received none, leaving its members equally bewildered.
The Great Elder looked on speechlessly, but there was nothing he could do.
Though the Grand Sky Sect had participated in the Battle of Exorcism a thousand years ago, it was not as powerful back then. Therefore, even those who fought were not strong, and the ancestors who died in battle had little chance of becoming sacred souls.
So, while watching other sects receive inheritances, the Grand Elder felt a pang of envy as the Grand Sky Sect received nothing.
Chu Xinghe, seeing the envious Great Elder, remained calm."Great Elder, don't be envious!
Today, you only saw other sects receiving inheritances, but what you don't know is that although they received inheritances, our Grand Sky Sect also gained immense benefits.
Today, as everyone accepted inheritances and their strength increased, we received very little, right?
But what you don't know, Great Elder, is that the less we receive, the more we actually gain!
While other sects received benefits, we seemingly lost out, but in reality, we made a huge gain today. My Compass of Misfortune is about to take off right here."
Just as Chu Xinghe was calculating how the Compass of Misfortune would spin like a helicopter rotor in such a grand scene, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.
This golden light was different from the usual inheritance light; it was as thick as a pillar of light.
Chu Xinghe was still imagining the Compass of Misfortune spinning wildly when the golden light descended and enveloped him entirely.
The sudden golden light left Chu Xinghe bewildered.
What was this golden light?
As Chu Xinghe stood there confused, all the sacred soul inheritances around him concluded.
Countless big shots awoke from their sacred soul inheritances, and the joy on their faces showed that they had gained immense benefits today.
After all, countless sages had fallen in the past, and many inheritances had been lost.
But today, during the Millennium Grand Festival, Chu Xinghe had opened the way for the sacred souls trapped for a thousand years, and the sacred souls returned the lost inheritances to their descendants.
So, no matter who received the inheritance from a thousand years ago, it was a tremendous gift, and these inheritances would undoubtedly help them advance further.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaotian was radiating seven-colored light, his body constantly shifting between the colors.
The Seven-Colored Glazed Body!
This was the supreme divine art of Martial Emperor City, the Seven-Colored Glazed Body.
City Lord Cheng Xiaotian roared to the sky. Although he was the second most powerful person in the world, he had never received the Seven-Colored Glazed Body inheritance.
In all of Martial Emperor City, only Zheng Yu had comprehended the Seven-Colored Glazed Body, and even Cheng Xiaotian hadn't obtained it.
But today, an ancestor from a thousand years ago had opened the Seven-Colored Glazed Body for him with their sacred soul.
With the Seven-Colored Glazed Body, Cheng Xiaotian was no longer the second most powerful person in the world. He had successfully taken another half-step forward, reaching the legendary Half-Step Martial God realm!
"Ah!" The seven-colored divine light burst from Cheng Xiaotian, and the power of the Half-Step Martial God soared into the sky.
Cheng Xiaotian was ecstatic because he knew that from this moment on, he was no longer the second most powerful person in the world; he was truly the number one.
Even Gu Mingchao was still some distance from the Half-Step Martial God, but today Cheng Xiaotian had successfully stepped into this realm.
But Cheng Xiaotian never dreamed that the one who helped him reach this realm was Chu Xinghe from the Grand Sky Sect.
Not only Cheng Xiaotian, but other big shots from various sects also took another step forward. Even if they were still some distance from the Half-Step Martial God, they had reached the pinnacle of their current levels.
Demon Emperor Wu Xingyun was surrounded by black energy, and a black demon god appeared behind him.
Half-Step Martial God!
Demon Emperor Wu Xingyun had also stepped into the Half-Step Martial God realm at this moment. Although his aura was slightly weaker than Cheng Xiaotian's, he was indeed a Half-Step Martial God.
Wu Xingyun was so excited that he almost wet his pants.
This realm was something Wu Xingyun had never dared to imagine in the past, but today, with the help of sacred soul inheritances from a thousand years ago, he had successfully stepped into this realm.
Wu Xingyun looked at Chu Xinghe, still standing on the altar, and expressed, "Xinghe, I forgive you for what you did to the Demonic Sect in the past.
Without Xinghe, I might never have reached this realm in my lifetime."
And looking at the people of the Grand Sky Sect, Wu Xingyun laughed heartily.
Who would have thought that today, Chu Xinghe's Millennium Grand Festival successfully awakened the sacred souls of a thousand years ago, but there were no inheritances from the Grand Sky Sect among them? As a result, almost the entire world received inheritances, and everyone's strength increased significantly.
Only the Grand Sky Sect... received nothing.
Wu Xingyun knew that from today on, Gu Mingchao, the number one in the world, would become a thing of the past. Gu Mingchao would henceforth be ranked below him, Wu Xingyun.
Chu Xinghe, oh Chu Xinghe... today, you really shot yourself in the foot.
You've essentially destroyed your Grand Sky Sect's thousand-year foundation with your own hands!
With so many sacred soul inheritances, the strength of all parties would undoubtedly soar. How could the Grand Sky Sect maintain its position as the number one sect in the world?
Not only Wu Xingyun but all the big shots who had gained strength from the inheritances felt the same.
No one expected that Chu Xinghe's Millennium Grand Festival would have such terrifying power. But no matter what, everyone had received such inheritances today, and Chu Xinghe's contribution was undeniable.
Wu Xingyun sighed, "Heaven truly cannot always favor the Grand Sky Sect; today, heaven has finally favored everyone else besides the Grand Sky Sect."
This time, everyone improved, except for the Grand Sky Sect, which got nothing. The Grand Sky Sect suffered a huge loss!
But just as everyone was lamenting that Chu Xinghe had tricked the Grand Sky Sect, the golden light enveloping Chu Xinghe suddenly changed.
The countless sacred souls that had completed their inheritances did not disappear; instead, they all flew toward the pillar of light above Chu Xinghe's head.
One by one, the sacred souls frantically entered the pillar of light, and each one made the pillar above Chu Xinghe's head shine even brighter.
The moment all the sacred souls entered the pillar, it seemed to solidify.
The big shots who had just been lamenting that Chu Xinghe had shot himself in the foot were now dumbfounded, watching Chu Xinghe enveloped by the pillar of light. Although they didn't know what was happening, they were sure that the pillar of light was extraordinary.
Amidst the big shots' confusion, countless golden threads suddenly descended from the pillar of light onto Chu Xinghe.
The threads, like countless inheritances, directly entered Chu Xinghe's body.
In an instant, Chu Xinghe, enveloped by the pillar of light, felt his entire body surrounded by terrifying power. These powers, like tiny worms, frantically burrowed into his body.
As these powers entered, Chu Xinghe found that his cultivation level, which had been stuck at the Sixth Grade, suddenly broke through!
In a moment, Chu Xinghe stepped into the realm of the Seventh Grade Martial Saint!
Not only did his cultivation level rise, but the golden light began to merge into every cell of his body.
Bones... meridians... flesh... the golden light began to break down every part of his body and then reshape it anew.
Feeling his body constantly being torn apart and reassembled, Chu Xinghe was on the verge of exploding.
"Rebirth! This is rebirth!"
The Great Sage was the first to recognize what was happening to Chu Xinghe under the golden light.
In the Great Sage's era, there was a technique known as rebirth.
A peak expert could use all their power to reshape a disciple's body, bringing every ability of the body to near-perfect levels, known as rebirth.
But even in that era, such a technique was almost legendary, as using it would cause even the strongest to die immediately.
So, unless in extremely special circumstances, no peak expert would use such a technique, even in that era.
But anyone who underwent rebirth would have their talents reach an extreme state.
Even the Great Sage had only heard of it, never witnessing the rebirth technique firsthand.
But today, after completing the inheritances, the golden light began to rebirth Chu Xinghe.
This was the sacred souls from a thousand years ago expressing their gratitude to Chu Xinghe, all working together to rebirth him!
Everyone is born with certain flaws; it is the rule of the world.
And only the mythic-level rebirth technique could break this rule, allowing a person to completely fill all their flaws and reach a state of perfection.
Listening to the Great Sage's explanation of rebirth, all the big shots were dumbfounded.
Chu Xinghe was already the number one among the younger generation, and if he underwent rebirth, what terrifying level would he reach?
At this moment, Chu Xinghe didn't know what rebirth was; he only knew that the Compass of Misfortune was going crazy!
This damn divine light suddenly descended, shattered his body, and then reshaped it anew. And the moment the body was reshaped, the terrifying power within the divine light began to pour into his body.
Feeling the vast spiritual power, Chu Xinghe was so excited that he almost cried...
Wouldn't such terrifying power directly blow him up?
He hadn't been killed by fortune or misfortune, but would he be killed by this spiritual power?
But just as Chu Xinghe was at a loss, the Compass of Misfortune jumped out, and no matter how vast the spiritual power was... the Compass of Misfortune spun, directly blocking all this power outside Chu Xinghe's spiritual sea...
