"Hollow Void?"
"Hollow Void!"
"Hollow Void!?"
When Alkaid’s form stepped out from the space that seemed twisted and folded over twice, all the Hollow Void Elders present were shocked and moved.
Those True Disciples, including Yanhuang, Ling Xi, Liang Lin, Zhang Qing, and others ranked in the top ten, were even more astonished.
Even those with the status of Vein Masters like Yuan Miaoyi and Xiang Zhenlong showed a hint of disbelief on their faces.
Advancing to Hollow Void on the spot!?
This is Hollow Void already!?
How could he have reached the Hollow Void Realm so easily!?
Ordinarily, for a Deep Blue Golden Core to advance to the Hollow Void Realm, regardless of whether it’s by unleashing the full power of the Dharma Phase to split the heavens and earth, or collapsing the Golden Core into a Chaos Void to evolve into a world, which part of the process isn’t extremely perilous!?
Detonating the power of the Dharma Phase to manifest a True Spirit and create a world—if you make the slightest mistake, you could end up annihilating your Divine Sense, turning into a vegetative state where the body survives but the soul perishes.
The process of a Golden Core collapsing into a black hole to manifest as a world is a matter of life and death, with a nine out of ten chance of failure. Without a sufficient understanding of the Void Force, the moment the Golden Core collapses typically signifies the end of the cultivator’s life.
Furthermore, the process of fusing both the detonation of the full power of the Dharma Phase to create a world and the Golden Core’s collapse into a black hole is equally arduous.
It’s a perfect integration of Divine Sense and the power of the Golden Core.
They’re mutually complementary and mutually reinforcing.
Any slight imperfection would lead to failure in breaking through.
Those with some luck might be able to transform into War Immortals, maintaining a presence as a Chaos Void.
Those with less luck...
The collapsing power of the Golden Core spirals out of control, devouring everything.
They die on the spot, disintegrated into nothingness.
In such a scenario, Alkaid’s nonchalant breakthrough into the Hollow Void Realm in just a few breaths, achieving it so effortlessly and naturally, completely overturned everyone’s perception of the Hollow Void Realm.
"How is this possible!?"
"Hollow Void! Hollow Void! This is Hollow Void we’re talking about!"
"The attainment of the Hollow Void Realm came so easily!? How is this possible! How did he manage to do it so easily!?"
At this moment, countless people found the situation before their eyes hard to accept.
Even those who have truly reached Hollow Void were somewhat frenzied.
Too easy!
Too simple!
This ease and simplicity, compared with their own painstaking preparations, extreme caution, and brushes with death when they broke through to the Hollow Void Realm, was like heaven and earth.
The vast difference was such that it involuntarily incited jealousy and madness in them!
But clearly, Alkaid did not care about their specific attitudes.
Taking advantage of the Golden Book Venerable’s presence, he immediately stepped forward with a clasped fist and said, "As a True Disciple ascending to Hollow Void, one should be appointed as Junior Sect Leader."
"Indeed, it is the Hollow Void Realm."
The Golden Book Venerable nodded slightly.
At his words, the True Disciples who found it unbelievable, beyond their wildest dreams, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Regardless of their unwillingness to accept the truth, with the Golden Book Venerable’s backing, Alkaid’s status as Hollow Void could no longer be doubted.
"Whirr!"
The Golden Book Venerable paid no attention to the opinions of others, nor did he care whether others believed that Alkaid had indeed cultivated into Hollow Void, he waved his hand, and a golden light appeared before him again.
He went straight to the True Disciple Register, and lifted out the name and imprint belonging to Alkaid.
Suddenly...

The slot for the 88th True Disciple, which had just been filled, was vacant again.
The moment was exhilarating for the True Disciple who had just been ousted to the bottom and eliminated.
Unfortunately, the Golden Book Venerable didn’t so much as glance at him, leaving the spot vacant, flipping the register to the next page, and entering Alkaid’s name and imprint there.
Suddenly, the smile that had not yet fully spread across the face of that True Disciple froze.
"The Junior Sect Leader of Heavenly Dao Sect, holding a section of the Great Dao Golden Book, has the right to oversee the operation of the sect, the distribution of resources, and the scheduling of personnel."
As the Golden Book Venerable spoke, a golden scroll emerged in his hand and flew directly into Alkaid’s.
Alkaid reached out, took the scroll, and infused it into his Cave Heaven.
To oversee the operation of the sect, the distribution of resources, and the scheduling of personnel.
What did this mean?
It meant Sect Supervisory Authority!
Though just responsible for oversight and lacking any actual power, due to holding a section of the Great Dao Golden Book, if anyone, during this process, violated the most fundamental rules and iron laws written into the Great Dao Golden Book, he would have the direct right to feed back to the Great Dao Golden Book and request its judgment.
This power...
The Sect Leader Zong Wenxian, the Heavenly Vein Vein Master Xiang Zhenlong, the Immortal Vein Vein Master Yuan Miaoyi …
One by one, their expressions changed.
No system of rules in this world can be perfectly flawless, and as part of the upper echelons of the sect, their actions always incorporated a bit of their own ideas...
Well, to adapt to the changes arising from the outside world requiring innovative reforms.
These innovations naturally lead to overstepping in certain areas.
On ordinary days, if a Vein Master overstepped a bit here, those Vice Sect Leaders went slightly over the line there, everyone turning a blind eye for the little profits shared with the Junior Sect Leaders—what’s good for you is good for me is good for us all.
All for the sake of cultivating towards Ascend to Immortality, without any embarrassment.
```
But now another Alkaid has emerged...
And this one seems to be a tough nut to crack...
This complicates matters.
"Sect Master..."
Yuan Miaoyi cautiously inquired, "Although the Golden Book Venerable is aware of many things, he also understands that it is not easy for us to manage such a large sect. As long as no one takes it too seriously, the Golden Book Venerable won’t delve deeply into it. After all, humans have their own methods of management, and the way problems are viewed is not the same as that of an Artifact Spirit..."
"Let’s wait and see."
Zong Wenxian said, "First, let’s see what his attitude is, but... regardless, with the addition of a Junior Sect Leader, the profits that must be given up, you various veins still have to give them up."
"Of course."
Yuan Miaoyi, Xiang Zhenlong, and others felt a pinch, but they agreed nonetheless.
To cede interests...
It would be one thing if it were among their own people; the meat was still in the pot.
But Alkaid was completely an outsider, not belonging to any of their veins; it was essentially like cutting flesh from their own bodies.
But as a Junior Sect Leader, Alkaid had the right to report directly to the Great Dao Golden Book. Without ceding interests, he could overturn the table. Their existing circles would suffer shuffling, leading to greater losses later.
Having reached a slight consensus, on the instruction of several Vein Masters, a Hollow Void Elder soon congratulated with a smile, "Congratulations to Alkaid, the True Disciple, on becoming our Heavenly Dao Sect’s Junior Sect Leader. With such a promising youth like Alkaid joining as Junior Sect Leader, our sect will surely soar to new heights."
"Hahaha, who dares say our Heavenly Dao Sect’s younger generation lacks talents? The addition of Junior Sect Leader Alkaid can most decisively slap their faces. Junior Sect Leader Alkaid, you should often visit us at Heavenly Que Peak in the future."
"Another Hollow Void has been added to our Heavenly Dao Sect, this is a grand occasion. I hereby announce that for the coming year, all sect mission rewards from the Immortal Vein External Affairs Peak will be increased by thirty percent, as we celebrate together and unanimously congratulate True Disciple Alkaid on reaching the Hollow Void Realm."
One after another, Hollow Void Elders spoke up, taking the first opportunity to congratulate Alkaid.
And with these Hollow Void Elders declaring their stance, True Disciples also began to react from this unbelievable series of events, filled with many twists and turns.
Despite how Alkaid’s instant attainment of Hollow Void status seemed unreal, the fact was right before their eyes. Alkaid... had been promoted from True Disciple directly to Junior Sect Leader, they could not deny it.
At once, those with the most agreeable attitudes like Ling Xi, Zhang Qing, and others started shouting, "Congratulations to True Disciple Alkaid for attaining the Hollow Void Realm, may you enjoy boundless freedom between heaven and earth, and live a life of endless longevity."
With the True Disciples’ declarations, other Inner Sect Disciples followed in their shoutings.
"Congratulations to True Disciple Alkaid for attaining the Hollow Void Realm, may you live as long as the Heavens and Earth!"
For a moment, tens of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples echoed the call one after another, the sound was ceaseless.
Whether it was those who harbored jealousy towards Alkaid, those who found it unbelievable, or those disciples who felt they could replace him, at this moment, they all had to force either sincere or insincere smiles onto their faces as they offered congratulations.
The whole area around the Heavenly Dao Sword Platform was completely engulfed in a sea of cheers, with Divine Sense and sound waves almost reaching half of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
As the former first True Disciple...
No! 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Having once again taken the position of first True Disciple, Yan Huo heard the shouts of people around him and the sincere or insincere congratulations from one Hollow Void Elder after another, yet his expression remained silent.
Especially when he felt the subtly disappointed look from his master, the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Zong Wenxian, his heart completely sank.
"Hollow Void! Hollow Void!"
Looking at the figure on the Heavenly Dao Sword Platform, who was the embodiment of ten thousand glories, this True Disciple also felt an unprecedented yearning.
Hollow Void ah!
He...
Yan Huo would definitely take that step!
To achieve Hollow Void!
And to be promoted to Junior Sect Leader, truly stepping into the ranks of power within the Heavenly Dao Sect.
That day, would not be far off!
Fifty years!
Or even thirty years! He would definitely make it!
At that time...
He would inevitably confront Alkaid again, fighting another battle to prove to the world who was the true eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Who truly was the number one of the younger generation in the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"Our Heavenly Dao Sect has gained yet another Junior Sect Leader with limitless potential, a fortune for the sect."
At this time, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Sect Leader, Zong Wenxian, echoed in the Void.
True Disciples who ascend to Hollow Void before the age of three hundred are qualified as Junior Sect Leaders, and Junior Sect Leaders who ascend to Refining Void within a thousand years become Vice Sect Leaders.
After three hundred years, True Disciples relinquish their positions automatically, becoming Sect Executive Officers, and even if they achieve Hollow Void later, they can only serve as Elders.
This shows the difficulty of becoming a Junior Sect Leader.
And the conveniences enjoyed after becoming a Junior Sect Leader...
Are certainly not few.
As the Sect Leader spoke, the lively atmosphere calmed somewhat.
Everyone’s gaze fell upon Zong Wenxian, some covertly sizing up Alkaid.
They knew that what followed would be the real show for this new Junior Sect Leader.
"Each Junior Sect Leader is a pillar of the sect, a future magnate. Our Heavenly Dao Sect will surely exert all efforts to aid their growth."
Zong Wenxian’s Divine Sense echoed through the sky, "In the name of Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I grant Junior Sect Leader Alkaid a mountain containing a Twelve Level Formation, along with corresponding personnel. I appoint him as the Battle Meridian Hall Master, in charge of an elite division. I grant him the Refined Gold Mountain Range as his direct jurisdiction, with fifty percent of the revenue. I grant him administrative rights over three districts in Heavenly Path Southern City, along with one hundred and eight shops within these districts."
His words spoken, many from the Immortal, Heavenly, War, and Dao veins didn’t know how many felt pained.
"I hope Junior Sect Leader Alkaid will advance to Refining Void soon, shouldering the responsibility of the sect’s development, and contributing to the increasing strength of our Heavenly Dao Sect."
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Alkaid bowed with his hands clasped, smiling as he accepted all these benefits.
