I, Thanks To My Unlimited Investment, Am Admired By Every Race

The moment the aged voice echoed through the air, everyone in the Profound Sun Sect, including the Sect Master, Elders, disciples— all 100,000+ people, were instantly stunned.

It took a long while for them to react.

"I've become the Holy Land's Holy Lord?"

"I've become the Holy Land's Elder?"

"I've become the Holy Land's disciple?"

"I've become the Holy Son?"

A series of doubts emerged in everyone's minds at the same time. The joy was so sudden and overwhelming that they were left in a daze.

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Profound Sun Sect—no, the Holy Lord of Profound Sun Holy Land—was the first to react. He led a group of Elders into the sky and spoke in a loud voice:

"We congratulate the Grand Elder on becoming a Saint!"

"We congratulate the Grand Elder on becoming a Saint!"

"We congratulate the Grand Elder on becoming a Saint!"

Their powerful voices echoed through the air, stirring the entire Profound Sun Sect. Over 100,000 people spoke in unison, and the combined sound shook the four corners of the world.

The entire void trembled, roaring like thunder, causing the surrounding mountains to quiver violently.

Within the Profound Sun Holy Land, excitement filled every person's face.

A Saint!

It was well known that a cultivator at the Life and Death Realm had only about a thousand years of lifespan. Those at the Divine Palace Realm had around four thousand years. But upon reaching the Saint Realm, their lifespan skyrocketed to over ten thousand years!

Of course, this was just the average. If a Life and Death Realm cultivator secluded themselves in the depths of the mountains and focused on longevity, they could live for two thousand years without issue. With the help of certain lifespan-extending elixirs, even three thousand years was not impossible.

And now, a Saint had emerged in the Profound Sun Holy Land, meaning that for nearly ten thousand years to come, they would be an unrivaled force. From this moment onward, no individual or power would dare to provoke them.

Buzz!

From the distant horizon came a faint humming sound. Then, a golden avenue extended from the edge of the sky, reaching the skies above Profound Sun Holy Land.

Upon it walked a frail, hunched figure. His steps were slow, even sluggish, yet with each step, mountains and rivers seemed to retreat rapidly behind him.

Unlike others, after becoming a Saint, one's lifespan increased by ten thousand years, and most would regain their youthful appearance. However, this Grand Elder of Profound Sun Holy Land remained unchanged—he still looked like an old man.

He wore a loose, coarse linen robe, draped carelessly over his thin frame, fluttering in the wind as if a single strong gust could blow him away. Yet, the Saintly aura surrounding him was awe-inspiring.

This aura alone was enough to shake the heavens above and suppress the netherworld below—anyone below the Saint Realm could only submit before it.

A Three-Tribulation Saint.

It may not sound like much, but in reality, Saint Tribulations were vastly different from Life and Death Tribulations. Forget about Nine Tribulations—even Seven or Eight Tribulations were extremely rare.

The vast majority of Saints—99%—only endured one to five Saint Tribulations. To pass three Saint Tribulations meant he was already among the mid-tier Saints.

After all, those who could become Saints were already considered peerless geniuses. And among geniuses, the difference was often minimal—only monstrous, heaven-defying prodigies could truly widen the gap.

"Rise, all of you."

The old man waved his sleeve, lifting everyone to their feet. His gaze shifted toward Li Xun, standing behind the gathered Elders.

"I was able to become a Saint thanks to you, little one. If not for your words, I fear I would have passed on with regret."

"I know you plan to go to the Great Chu Dynasty. You will leave in six months—will that be acceptable?"

The old man did not mention the Hun Tian Pill.

Because such a pill was too precious, if he mentioned it now, even if the pill itself was gone, many people would still fixate on where Li Xun had obtained it.

To avoid causing trouble for Li Xun, the elder only spoke of his guidance.

Yet, even such a simple statement still caused many people to glance at Li Xun. From the Holy Lord down to the disciples, everyone turned their eyes toward him, a hint of astonishment flickering within.

They were curious.

What exactly had Li Xun said to the Grand Elder?

"I will follow the Grand Elder's arrangements."

Li Xun cupped his hands and replied.

Six months was not a long time. Now that the Grand Elder had ascended to Sainthood, he would need to first stabilize his cultivation, refine his techniques, and forge his own sacred weapon.

Each of these three tasks was urgent. Six months might not even be enough.

"Good."

A warm smile appeared on the elder's face as he looked at Li Xun with appreciation. Then, he spoke again:

"From today onward, you are the Profound Sun Holy Son. The entirety of the Scripture Pavilion is open to you…"

These words were like an iron decree.

From now on, Li Xun could enter the Scripture Pavilion freely. No one would stop him. He could read as many tomes as he wished and stay as long as he pleased.

This was an honor that countless people could only dream of.

Li Xun understood—this was the Grand Elder's way of compensating him.

After all, within the entire Profound Sun Holy Land, aside from the Sect Master and Grand Elder, not even the elders could access all the techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.

"Many thanks, Grand Elder!" Li Xun said respectfully.

He had just acquired two Technique Advancement Tokens. He had planned to use one on the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Soaring Technique, but he had yet to find a suitable technique for the other.

The Purple Radiance Celestial Net Sutra he had obtained before had already been upgraded once and could not be advanced again. If he wanted a Saint cultivation technique, he first needed to obtain a Heaven technique that had never been upgraded.

Originally, this was a concern.

But now, things had changed.

While Profound Sun Holy Land did not have Saint cultivation techniques, it did possess several Heaven techniques and divine techniques. If he memorized a few, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of techniques to upgrade in the future.

"The rest is up to you. Within the next ten years, Profound Sun Holy Land will prepare to relocate."

The elder looked at the Holy Lord and the gathered elders, speaking lightly before turning to leave.

The downfall of the Great Bright Monastery was a recent lesson.

On the surface, it had perished because it sought to establish a Buddhist kingdom, but in reality, many understood the truth—two top-tier forces had occupied the same region.

Conflict was inevitable.

Now, Profound Sun Holy Land was in the same situation.

For the time being, everything was fine. But as time passed, friction with the Great Zhou Empire was inevitable.

Either the Great Zhou Empire would destroy Profound Sun Holy Land, or Profound Sun Holy Land would overthrow the Great Zhou Empire.

"I will see to it immediately." The Profound Sun Holy Lord responded with deep reverence.

As they watched the Grand Elder depart, many finally sighed in relief.

They turned to look for Li Xun, only to realize that, at some point, Li Xun had already moved behind them.

Before they could speak, a gentle smile appeared on Li Xun's face. He flipped his palm over, revealing a handful of precious spiritual herbs.

"Holy Lord, elders, I noticed that you seemed to have sustained some injuries earlier. Fortunately, I happen to have some medicinal pills with me. Today, I offer them to you as a gift."
