As the System's mechanical voice fell, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly felt as if thousands of Magnificent Hearts were about to be expressed within his chest.
It was a feeling of vastness and grandeur, like having a thousand ravines in one's heart.
Jun Xiaoyao had guessed correctly!
The Opportunity and treasure obtained from signing in would sometimes be linked to the sign-in location.
And within this ancestral hall, once established by a Sacred Confucian, what Jun Xiaoyao signed in for was the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
The Sacred Heart of Magnificence and the Magnificent Heart, though only a single character different, were as far apart as heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, just as everyone thought Han Ping'an would fully activate the Celestial Chapter Scroll and then kill Yiyi, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from Jun Xiaoyao's body.
From his chest, an incredibly brilliant golden divine light surged forth.
That brilliance, that sacredness, that transcendence—it even surpassed Han Ping'an's!
"What in the world is going on?"
"Righteous Qi, extremely pure Righteous Qi, is emanating from Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao!"
All the Jixia Academy Disciples were utterly astonished.
They had never expected to witness such a scene.
"This... this is..."
Even the most strict and rigid Master Gu looked somewhat stunned at this moment.
Because he felt an incomparably vast Righteous Qi emanating from Jun Xiaoyao.
That aura was even more potent than what emanated from Han Ping'an!
At this moment, everyone felt that Jun Xiaoyao, instead of Han Ping'an, seemed more like a true successor of the Confucian school.
"Impossible, could it be... the legendary Sacred Heart of Magnificence?"
Even Teacher Fu, whose expression was usually composed, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
What on earth was happening?
How could the Young Lord of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan possess the legendary, strongest talent of the Confucian school, the Sacred Heart of Magnificence?
One should know that this Sacred Heart of Magnificence was far more powerful than the Magnificent Heart.
And most importantly, among the past powerhouses of Jixia Academy, while those with a Magnificent Heart were extremely rare, Han Ping'an was not the only one.
However, there had only ever been one person with the Sacred Heart of Magnificence before, and that was...
"The Sacred Confucian, only the Sacred Confucian possessed the legendary, supreme Sacred Heart of Magnificence, oh heavens..."
Yan Qinghua's heart was trembling at this moment.
This was the Sacred Heart of Magnificence, something only a Sacred Confucian possessed!
What kind of Prodigy of a son had Yun Tianya sired?
Boom!
The moment Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Heart of Magnificence aura appeared, the Celestial Chapter Scroll, which was about to launch its attack, suddenly halted.
Then, the Celestial Chapter Scroll began to tremble violently.
That trembling was a hundred times more intense than when Han Ping'an had urged it earlier!
A human-like emotion radiated from it.
Everyone could even sense that emotion.
It was excitement!
That's right, the Celestial Chapter Scroll was actually excited!
Because it sensed the aura of its former, familiar master!
That was the aura only a Sacred Confucian possessed, the Sacred Heart of Magnificence!
How could the Celestial Chapter Scroll attack its former master?
So it directly stopped its attack.
But stopping it naturally caused some backlash of power.
And all of that backlash was transferred onto Han Ping'an.
Pfft!
Han Ping'an, who had been so arrogant and full of heroic spirit, was directly struck by that backlash power, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
His entire body felt as if his bones were about to shatter, and he was directly sent flying out of the ancestral hall.
His Confucian robes were stained with blood!
But the physical injuries and pain were secondary.
Han Ping'an was just bewildered, his mind a blank.
Who could tell him what the hell was going on?
One moment, he was full of vigor, about to gain the Celestial Chapter Scroll's recognition and kill Yiyi.
The next moment, he was like a dead dog, severely injured and covered in blood.
This disparity was simply too immense, and it happened in just a brief instant.
"How is this possible? Absolutely impossible! I didn't feel any Righteous Qi from you before; how could you possibly possess the Sacred Heart of Magnificence!"
Han Ping'an's composure was completely shattered at this moment; he couldn't maintain his elegant and transcendent demeanor.
His face even twisted into a ferocious expression.
He had never felt any Righteous Qi from Jun Xiaoyao before, let alone the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
How could Jun Xiaoyao suddenly possess it?
Moreover, if anyone was most likely to obtain the Sacred Heart of Magnificence, it should have been him, Han Ping'an!
In fact, the Magnificent Heart, simply put, could be considered a simplified version of the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
In other words, a Confucian Cultivator with a Magnificent Heart, if they Cultivated diligently, could potentially Cultivate their Magnificent Heart into a Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
However, throughout the history of Jixia Academy, only the Sacred Confucian had possessed the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
This showed how rare the Sacred Heart of Magnificence was; even with a Magnificent Heart, it was extremely difficult to Cultivate it.
Han Ping'an had refined his Magnificent Heart for a long time, allowing it to make some progress.
Although it hadn't reached the level of the Sacred Heart of Magnificence, there was clearly hope.
Why did Han Ping'an want to gain the Celestial Chapter Scroll's recognition?
It was because if he could Cultivate with the power of the Celestial Chapter Scroll, he would have a greater chance of Cultivating the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
Because the Celestial Chapter Scroll was an Immortal Artifact once used by the Sacred Confucian.
Therefore, it naturally carried the Sacred Confucian's aura.
If Han Ping'an could gain the Celestial Chapter Scroll's recognition, he could fully open it.
Not only could he Cultivate with its power, but he could also comprehend the Righteous Dao rhyme left behind by the Sacred Confucian within it.
This was the most important thing for Han Ping'an.
But now...
Jun Xiaoyao directly revealed the aura of the Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
Didn't this make people collapse?
Han Ping'an's mindset was truly on the verge of collapse.
The very thing he had painstakingly sought and failed to obtain, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly possessed.
"Impossible, there must be some trickery involved, I don't believe it!"
Han Ping'an couldn't remain calm; he was filled with rage.
But just as he finished speaking, the Celestial Chapter Scroll slowly unfolded due to Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
Immediately, endless golden divine light and countless characters surged out like a waterfall.
Heaven and earth trembled and boiled; the entire Jixia Academy, and even the entire Sheji Universe, vibrated.
"What's going on? That aura is coming from Jixia Academy!"
"That's the might of an Immortal Artifact! Has someone gained the recognition of the Sacred Confucian's Immortal Artifact?"
"Who is it? Could it be that Junior Martial Uncle of Jixia Academy?"
"No matter what, the Confucian school is about to produce a peerless Prodigy!"
The entire Sheji Universe, and even some powerhouses from other forces outside the Sheji Universe, vaguely sensed it and exclaimed in shock.
Meanwhile, within Jixia Academy, in a simple thatched hut, an old man in a black robe with long white eyebrows and a beard slowly opened his eyes.
"This aura... it's the Sacred Heart of Magnificence, and the Celestial Chapter Scroll has opened as well."
"This is quite unexpected."
"It seems I may have been mistaken; the one truly capable of succeeding the Sacred Confucian and revitalizing the Confucian school is not Han Ping'an."
"Yun Tianya, you truly have a good son."
The black-robed elder's eyes were deep as he sighed.
