Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 196

Late at night, Yan Chutian was still secretly cultivating in the depths of the cave, consolidating his cultivation.

As he sat cross-legged for about two hours, an uncontrollable aura suddenly entered his perception range. He was very familiar with this aura because it was Han Chen's aura!

Han Chen came again. Yan Chutian did not need to think too much to know that he had given the results of the quota allocation for the Genius Tournament.

Therefore, he immediately got up and walked out of the cave. By the time she arrived at the Cave hall, a beautiful figure was already leaning lazily on the stone chair.

The owner of this beautiful figure was of course Qiu Yu. Clearly, Han Chen's aura could not be separated from his perception.

Not long after Yan Chutian entered the hall, there was a knock on the door of the cave. After which, Yan Chutian opened the door of the cave, and the figure of the middle-aged man he knew, Han Chen, entered.

However, at the same time when Han Chen entered, Yan Chutian could clearly see that Han Chen's brows were tightly intertwined. This made him, with his sharp nature, immediately realize something. Maybe the quota allocation will not be that smooth.

"Chairman Han, is there a problem with the quota allocation?"

Yan Chutian asked slowly. However, to his surprise, Han Chen shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the allocation of quotas for the Genius Tournament. No matter what, the two of you are the first and second in Tianji.

As soon as Han Chen finished speaking, Yan Chutian could not help feeling confused. Since there was no problem with the allocation of quotas, what was he worried about?

Soon, the two of them knew what Han Chen was worried about. Not long after he finished speaking, they continued talking. "Quota allocation is not a problem. With Tianji's results, we took back the quota from the Northern Region. According to the allocation, you deserve it."

"Just the quota is not a problem. However, there was a huge change in the Tournament this time around. Therefore, the top five regions and first-rate forces announced that all pride under first-rate forces would have to go through the test. Only those who stood out would be qualified to participate in the real Tournament!"

"Heh .. The power of the five regions and the power of the first class was truly arrogant!"

Qiu Yu, who was listening quietly, inevitably snorted coldly. Changing the rules that had existed for so many years just like that, this power was truly overbearing.

Yan Chutian felt the same way as Qiu Yu. Situations like this were rare even in the Heavenly Realm. He did not expect that to happen in the mortal world.

In fact, Han Chen did not feel that way either. However, this was the decision of the top five regions and first-rate forces. Not to mention elders from second-rate forces like him, even the leader of a top second-rate army would not be able to refute him.

At the same time, Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu gradually received this result. In fact, even if there was another level of examination, it would not affect them much, as this was to limit those who were the luckiest. With additional tests, many people who tried to take advantage of the situation would be eliminated.

To a certain extent, this could improve the overall quality of the geniuses participating in the Tournament.

Understanding this situation, Yan Chutian naturally did not forget to ask the time and location of the exam.

Regarding this matter, Han Chen did not hide anything and told the two of them all the information he had revealed.

"Star Valley?"

Hearing this strange name, Yan Chutian was unwillingly curious. When Han Chen told him about the Star Valley, the curiosity on Yan Chutian's face grew stronger. There's even a surprise.

Because according to Han Chen, the Star Valley was connected to the dangerous layer that separated the Central Plains from the outside world. Moreover, there were rumors that an astonishing battle had erupted in this mysterious valley long ago. That battle power even caused the stars in the sky to fall. There were at least ten thousand stars, which was why it was called the Star Valley.

Therefore, this rumor was not entirely without the possibility of becoming a reality.

However, Yan Chutian was also confused. How could the powers of the five regions use such an amazing and mysterious place as the location of the test?

"The Star Valley is vast, and its depth is connected to a mysterious layer. Even a master of a first-rate army would not dare to enter it rashly. Therefore, even though the location of this exam was the Star Valley, it was actually just an outer region.”

"So it's just the outer region."

Hearing this, Yan Chutian instantly understood. As expected, a place that could be referred to as a forbidden area could not be used as the location of the exam. And that's just the outer region. This was the same as the great event held by many powers in the Heaven Realm itself.

Around some mysterious forbidden areas, not only could it be a more comprehensive test, it was also an opportunity for geniuses. After all, no one knew if there would be any shocking opportunities hidden around such a mysterious forbidden area.

In the past, while in the Heaven Realm, Yan Chutian had also heard similar rumors. Some ordinary cultivators had obtained a mysterious opportunity while they were undergoing the examination. From then on, they soared into the sky, causing many geniuses to only be able to see their backs.

From the looks of it, it seemed like that top troop arrangement could not be said to be good or bad. If one could get a chance, it would be a great fortune. However, if one could not obtain anything, or even die in it, it would be a great misfortune.

"Then how can we prove that we stand out?"

Qiu Yu suddenly asked, directly asking to the point. Hearing this, Han Chen naturally did not hesitate and said directly.

"Outside the Star Valley, there was a star fog that was like a sea of stars surrounding it. If an ordinary cultivator were to touch him, even a Yuanying expert could not guarantee that he would not lose his mind and become chaotic. ."

“And this star fog will only thin out once every two months. At that time, there will be people from the five regions who will ride a boat to take you through the star fog and enter again at the same time two months later. That'll be your only chance to get out."

"As for how to stand out, other than making sure that you don't die in these two months, the most important thing is to get the star skeleton in the Star Valley in the depths of the outer region."

"Myriad Star Tree, star skeleton?"

"Yes." Yeah." Han Chen nodded heavily with a serious expression. "This Star Tree is unique to the Star Valley, and in the entire outer region, there is only one Star Tree. This Star Tree did not produce any spirit fruit, but it would produce a star skeleton. And this star skeleton will be proof that you stand out!"

"What's the use of this star skeleton?" Yan Chutian did not forget to ask. For this, Han Chen shook his head and continued, "the star skeleton is completely useless. They cannot be used for cultivation, nor can they be used to set up formations or train soldiers."

Hearing this, Yan Chutian did not ask anymore, but this did not mean that he really thought that the star skeleton was useless. How could the strange thing produced by the spirit tree be useless? The people outside haven't found him yet.

However, now that he had yet to see the real one, Yan Chutian naturally did not know what the star skeleton was. However, he seemed to have a premonition that perhaps a star skeleton was something extremely precious.

At this point, Han Chen clearly told the two of them all the information he knew. Then, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the two of them and hesitated before saying, "That's all the information I know. The only thing I want to remind you of is that if you enter the Valley of the Stars, the most you need to be aware of is not an unknown danger, but someone else entering."

Han Chen did not say it explicitly, but his intent was clear. The group that was tested with this test was all of Heaven Pride under first-rate power throughout the Central Plains. Not to mention the amount of Heaven Pride from the second-rate forces in the Tianji Sect, even disciples from some hidden powerhouses could not be ignored.

After all, not all of Heaven's Pride entered the sect to cultivate. Many of them followed hidden experts to cultivate. Maybe they didn't show talent normally, but definitely wouldn't miss a grand event like the Heaven's Volition Event.

Therefore, you can imagine the intensity of this exam. In Han Chen's eyes, even monstrous geniuses like Qiu Yu and Yan Chutian would probably get lost in it.
