Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 332. Mysterious Energy
Jian Heng asked the residents of the Silver Mountain to march into four rows. To save space they are asked to line up in meetings.
After they were ready, Jian Heng and Fang Yin stood facing each other at a distance of four circles of fire.
Jian Heng then asked the residents of Silver Mountain to vacate the spot across the line and form two rows for those who had passed through the fire. The successful population line on the right and the failed one on the left.
After everyone was clear with the rules imparted by Jian Heng, they immediately began the selection. The four people advanced together and jumped over the fire circle controlled by Fang Yin and Jian Heng.
Everyone who was in that place became tense. They are afraid that their family members will get hurt. Although for Fang Yin this was the lightest selection but for some people this was quite dangerous.
Residents who did not qualify in the election of Patriarch Shi escaped the selection of fire and residents who passed the election there were also those who did not pass the selection. It was estimated that there were around four hundred and fifty people who had escaped this first stage selection.
Fang Yin was going to hold a second selection tomorrow morning, but what kind of selection would be done was still kept secret by him. He was going to ask Jian Heng's opinion to do this selection.
The residents of Silver Mountain were satisfied with the way Fang Yin had done. This method is general and fair. There are no specific restrictions and criteria for being part of the special forces. In a war the most basic is courage.
One by one the residents of Perak Mountain left the place to return to their respective homes. Now there are only a few people in that place. Fang Yin, Jian Heng, his family as well as Patriarch Shi and the elders.
They walked together while chatting until they reached a crossroads and separated. They talk about plans that will be done in the future.
"Yin'er, you should also pay attention to your health. We will help you to make the selection. What's going to happen we no one knows." Yu Ruo gave a suggestion.
"While I was thinking, Grandma. I will do the exercises at night and train the troops of the ice tribe during the day." Fang Yin felt that this was his responsibility.
"You are the future ruler of the Eastern Continent, Yin'er, you must learn to share your duties with those around you. Later you and Jian Heng only need to set a strategy to run the government, not the main actor who must do everything alone," Shi Jun Hui added.
"I agree with you," Shi Han Wu said.
Fang Yin was speechless considering the words of his grandfather and grandmother. What they said was true but all this time he was used to doing anything by himself. It takes a long and calculated thought to minimize the casualties of war from his side.
"There's no harm in us giving others a chance without us giving up our responsibilities, Yin'er." Jian Heng also convinced Fang Yin to start changing his overly independent habits.
The life of a princess would not be the same as her current free life. The ideal life that everyone dreams of at first glance is fun, but in reality is full of made-up and boring things.
"If you allow me, I also want to take part in the selection tomorrow," said Consort Ning who had been silent earlier.
Only Consort Shi did not want to take part in the selection process because she chose to move behind the scenes. She and the women of the ice tribe plan to arrange for consumption and relief for the residents who may be injured. His high social spirit was more powerful than his fighting will.
Fang Yin's extended family was to the very end because their residence was located at the edge of the village. On that silent night, they enjoyed a makeshift dinner before they went to rest.

The residents of Perak Mountain had gathered at the foot of the hill with a wide courtyard. Residents who pass the first stage selection line up in front while those who do not qualify want to see the course of the selection.
They were men on average because women joined Consort Shi to prepare consumption and became rescue teams on the sidelines.
There were about fifteen people involved to help with this selection. Fang Yin and Jian Heng acted to receive the troops that had passed the selection.
They look so excited to pass the selection and show all their abilities.
In the second stage, the selection was done with the first level sword and spear play. The participants were judged by their speed and ability to evade.
This selection took almost half a day although in one selection took fifteen participants at a time. It took a careful assessment of the participants who actually mastered the two weapons. Of the previous participants only about three hundred participants remained.
After taking a short break to eat and drink, they returned to continue the final stage selection. In this selection participants are required to take out the Snow Cloud Qi and create an ice shield for protection.
Three hundred more participants carried out this selection together with a circle-shaped formation. The judges were in the air to mark who escaped and who was killed.
The place looked like a sea of snow as they let out the Snow Cloud Qi together. The protective wall formed from the ice crystals looks like a diamond that glitters when exposed to sunlight.
The great power of this tribe made the crystals they had unaffected by the heat of the sun. The Snow Cloud Qi was able to freeze low to medium strength flames. Only eternal flames and some special types of flames were unaffected by it.
Of all the participants who participated in this selection, the choice of participants was two hundred and fifty people. The same number as the previous election but with different qualifications.
For the next time, the selected troops will undergo training to prepare themselves in the attack agenda. Fang Yin re-engaged these judges to train them.
The selection process ends when the sun is tilted on the western horizon. They flocked back to their homes to celebrate his victory for the ones who passed the selection. For those who don't qualify, they keep their spirits up and train to become stronger.
The old ice tribe and the naturalized ice tribe of the glacier tribe have now merged into one. There is no distance that makes them split. Now they have become a family again.
A small, crowded but peaceful village. After the Empire of the Eastern Continent returned to Fang Yin's hands, they requested to merge into a privileged state. Although they still want to survive as an isolated region, but they will remain the main supporters for their country.
Fang Yin still wanted to stay in that place even though everyone had left. Only her and Jian Heng remained.
"Do you still want to stay here?" jian Heng asked.
"We'll be back soon. I want to enjoy this beautiful sight before we leave here to fight. I don't know when we can come back here again." Fang Yin showed his sad face.
"Why do you look so moody? Isn't this what you've been fighting for the past ten years. Do you want to be forever in the shadow of the past? Hmm .. free living is fun, Yin'er. But are you going to let Emperor Ning's arbitrariness continue. You can't do that, Yin'er. Your country must be a country that always upholds justice and equitable growth. Although starting from scratch is not easy, we cannot give up on the situation and ignore them."
Jian Heng's explanation left him touched. He looked at Jian Heng meaningfully. His eyes became foggy and showed shade.
"You are a good man, Brother Heng. I know you are not much different from me who likes the outdoors. After we win the war, we must not be too happy because there will be a lot of work waiting. This freedom and such a beautiful world will only be a memory." Fang Yin smiled bitterly at Jian Heng.
"I promise, I'll take a special time to take you for a walk and go hunting. No matter how many sons we have, I'll take him away and see the beauty of the world." Jian Heng clasped Fang Yin's hand.
"I hope you won't forget the promise you made today." Fang Yin looked slightly excited.
"will not. You are the one I prioritize in all business. Your smile is my spirit and your cry is my sorrow. Yin'er, never ignore me later."
Fang Yin nodded.
The sun keeps rolling pulling the curtain of night. Before the day went dark, Jian Heng brought Fang Yin back to his family residence. However, halfway through the journey they felt an extremely powerful aura from a place not so far away.
Fang Yin gestured for Jian Heng to shut up. Jian Heng who also sensed the aura nodded. The two of them slowly stepped cautiously closer to the center of energy essence it was located in.
They stood with their backs to each other and continued to be vigilant. The movements are organized and hardly leave a sound they deliberately do to keep watch. Sometimes behind a great energy essence is protected by a powerful spirit beast or the soul force that houses it.
"Stay alert, Yin'er. We are getting closer to that energy essence. At least we should take fifteen steps away from the essence center and study it before taking action," Jian Heng whispered.
"really. It was fortunate that this aura did not appear when the entire population gathered because we did not know what danger was accompanying it." Fang Yin answered him in an equally slow voice.
