Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 144

Time continued to pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. During this half a month, the atmosphere in the Tianji Sect had reached its peak. This was because everyone knew that in five days, it would be the day of the selection of the Holy Sons.

Right now, the upper echelons of the sect had already begun to take action. On the vast land in the middle of the northern and southern regions, many arenas were slowly built up, attracting the attention of everyone.

The selection of the Holy Son was a competition for the abilities of every Holy Son. The selection rules are very simple — it is an all-out fight between the Holy Sons. If you win, you will advance to the next round. The last ten people will be the top Holy Son.

At the same time, many Holy Sons who had come out or secluded themselves appeared in the sect during these ten days. Such a great event involved every Holy Son. How could they miss it!

At the same time, Han Chen appeared again in front of the cave where Yan Chutian lived. This time, he did not hide his aura, so Mu Wan also sensed it and appeared in the cave where Yan Chutian lived a moment later.

Without fear of Mu Wan, Han Chen raised his hand and handed the jade bottle to Yan Chutian. Then, he met Yan Chutian's gaze and said slowly, "This is the last thing you want."

Hearing that, Yan Chutian opened the jade bottle and scanned it. He immediately beamed at Han Chen and said, "Thank you for your gift, Elder Han!"

However, as Yan Chutian beamed happily, Han Chen did not smile at all. Instead, his expression remained calm. He glanced at Mu Wan before looking back at Yan Chutian and said slowly, "The top Holy Son selection in five days. Are you ready?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Mu Wan nodded, but Yan Chutian's reaction was much more lively than his. He continued to smile and said, "Don't worry. The position of the top Holy Son will naturally belong to Senior Brother and me. At the same time, the two of us will also shine in that Meeting!"

"Son, you really make it sound good. If it was your Senior Brother, I would naturally not worry. But if it was just you, wouldn't you be too arrogant to say such words?"

Han Chen frowned. Although Yan Chutian was also incredible in his eyes, he had just entered the Elixir realm. Compared to the Holy Sons comparable to the fourth level Elixir Realm, the distance was still too great.

Even Mu Wan made him a little worried. After all, Mu Wan's cultivation was only at the 2nd level of the Elixir Realm.

"Then it seems Elder Han doesn't believe in the strength of Senior Brother and I."

In response to Han Chen's question, Yan Chutian did not hold back at all while continuing to argue, "What about this? If the two of us are truly capable of becoming a top-tier Holy Son, what about Elder Han preparing the Star Origin Pill for me and Senior Brother?"

"Pil Origin of the Stars?"

Han Chen's indifferent face could not help but twitch. He had not expected that Yan Chutian would actually dare to mention it, even mentioning the Origin Star pill.

However, Han Chen did not want to show any weakness. At the same time, he responded to Yan Chutian's words domineeringly. "Alright, I, Han Chen, can still take out two Star Origin Pills. If you two become top-tier Holy Sons, this old man will give you each of the Star Origin Pills."

"But if we succeed, we will get the Star Origin pill. What if we fail?"

"Chairman Han must be kidding. If we fail, we will also lose the reason why we agreed to join the Southern Region. So how can we fail?"

"In addition, it had only become one of the top-tier Holy Sons. How can this be considered a failure?"

After Han Chen left, Yan Chutian took the last few items Han Chen had given him and prepared to seclude himself one last time. Even though he had managed to condense two spirit runes, the barely dense spirit runes were simply too rough. It can only be refined with repeated polishing.

This is the purpose of his exile. However, the extent to which he could refine two spirit patterns in these five days would depend on Yan Chutian himself and the will of heaven …

The last five days passed in the end. The day after the fifth day, just before dawn, many figures rushed into the square. Although they were not Holy Sons and did not have the qualifications to participate in the selection, their goal was not to participate in the selection. They just want to see this fancy party.

Thus, when Yan Chutian appeared here, a trace of daze flashed across his face. Although he had seen many majestic scenes, this still made him reminisce about the past. He reminisced about the times when he participated in big events with great expectations, did his best to stand out from the crowd, stood at the top, and enjoyed the admiration of the countless gazes.

He had gained many things along the way, but lost many things at the same time. And this rebirth is like giving him a chance to start all over again!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Yan Chutian looked dazed, Mu Wan would inevitably ask gently. Hearing this, he subconsciously raised his head and immediately locked his eyes on her. Seeing this extremely familiar face, Yan Chutian finally could not help but feel the emotion in his heart. Under Mu Wan's startled gaze, she raised her hand and held tightly to her hand.

Sensing the domineering aura of the other party, Mu Wan had no idea what was wrong with him. He really could not muster the strength to fight back and could only let Yan Chutian hold tightly to his hand. A red color gradually appeared on his cheeks.

Even Mu Wan herself understood that Yan Chutian's sudden actions were mostly due to his face. This face was very similar to the woman sleeping on his body, but he pretended to know nothing and secretly enjoyed this warm moment.

Unfortunately the warmth is always short-lived. Yan Chutian quickly regained his senses. Knowing what he had done in a daze, he quickly withdrew his hand with a nervous expression.

Fortunately, at this moment, the sound of an ancient bell rang, shaking the entire square and even the Southern Region.

Both of them saw a platform high in the sky above the square. Suddenly, from the horizon, there were figures flying and landing on the tall platform one after another.

Each figure carried a terrifying aura. They were the upper echelons of the Southern Region, the elders. Their cultivation was at least at the Yuanying Realm, far above that of disciples and even Holy Sons.

Many elders appeared. Yan Chutian looked at Han Chen and also looked at Luo Qingyi, whom he had always heard of but had never seen before. Of course, this did not include the elders he had met when he first entered the Southern Region. Looking at the elders, there were more than ten people.

Normally speaking, even if it was the selection of the top Holy Son, the Vice Sect Leader and Sect Leader would not appear, unless it was the Tianji Sect. This was because the Vice Sect Leader and Sect Leader were not only from the Northern Region or the Southern Region. They controlled the entire Tianji Sect.

However, what was unbelievable was this time, even though the Vice Sect Leader and Sect Leader did not appear, someone who was even stronger than the Vice Sect Leader. He is the Yin-yang Teacher!

"Holy Teacher, he is also here ?!"

"The "Holy Teacher was in charge of the Northern and Southern Regions, but he almost never interfered in the affairs of the Southern Region. However, he actually appeared in the selection of the top Holy Son in the Southern Region?"

"Even the Holy Master has appeared. Could it be that which Holy Son in the Southern Region could attract his attention ?!"

"…"

The cries continue to sound. Not to mention the ordinary disciples surrounding the square, even the leading Holy Sons participating in the selection, and even the elders on the high platform, he said, all focused their gazes on the middle-aged figure that appeared somewhere in the sky.

However, Master Yin-yang said nothing despite being stared at by so many people. He simply nodded at the elders, hinting to continue.

However, even if he did not say anything, it made everyone pay more attention to the selection of this top Holy Son for no reason. In their opinion, in order for Master Yin-yang, who had never interfered in the affairs of the sect, to appear, this election must have been very important.

Seeing Master Yin-yang's figure, Yan Chutian smiled speechlessly. Others might not know the reason for Master Yin-yang's arrival, but how could he not know? This Yin-yang master must be here for him. He probably wanted to see just how strong this person who had the guts to strike a deal with him was, right?

However, even if he knew the reason, Yan Chutian would not say anything, as if he had not noticed it at all. Because even if he said it, the surrounding disciples would probably think that he was saying nonsense and flattering himself.
