Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 197

Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu did not know what Han Chen was thinking. However, even if they knew, they would not care. After all, only the two of them knew what strength they had.

When entering the Tianji Meeting, the disciples of the Northern and Southern Region had no hope for the two of them. What's the end result?

As for the final reminder to Han Chen, the two of them, who had experienced hundreds of battles, would naturally not be surprised at all. Moreover, to be honest, when they were weak back then, the two of them were also experts at ambushing others secretly. If one really did not have eyes and looked for them, the end result was uncertain.

After explaining everything to the two of them, Han Chen left. After Han Chen left, Qiu Yu did not stay for long. There were only five days before they left for the Star Valley. He also needs to prepare well.

This is because he has made his decision. In the exam this time, he had to stand in front of Yan Chutian.

Yan Chutian also had the same thought as Qiu Yu. No matter what, he would do his best to ensure that Qiu Yu was not in danger. It was as if he had forgotten that he was currently weaker than Qiu Yu.

Five days passed quickly. In these five days, Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu did their best to improve themselves. At the same time, the situation of the entire Tianji Sect also slowly changed. More than half of the cultivation resources originally occupied by the Northern Region began to slowly merge into the Southern Region.

Although after this change it was still the Northern Region occupying the majority, this had already shown a trend, and that was the appearance of the Southern Region!

This situation caused excitement to appear on the faces of all the Southern Region disciples. At the same time, they could clearly sense that the atmosphere throughout the Southern Region had become regular. Every student works hard in training. Clearly, they did not want to ruin the situation they had worked so hard to reverse the next opportunity.

Five days later, towards nightfall, Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu were taken by Han Chen to the center of the entire Tianji Sect. It was also the center of power, Palace Sect Master!

The Palace Sect Master, as the name suggests, is naturally the place where the Sect Master of the Tianji Sect lives. However, the Sect Master was in seclusion. Hence, Yan Chutian did not see his figure in the Palace Sect Master. Instead, he looked at the Vice Sect Master he knew – Zhu Yun.

Beside Zhu Yun, there was a white-clothed old man standing still. When he looked up, the white-clothed old man's closed eyes also opened. His mouth opened into a smile, and his appearance was quite cute.

However, Yan Chutian would not underestimate this white-robed old man. Although the other party had yet to unleash his cultivation, with his current Spiritual Eye, he could still sense the boundless Spiritual Energy contained within the other party's body.

That level of Spiritual Energy was only comparable to Zhu Yun. Therefore, there was no need to think too much to know that this was the other Vice Sect Master.

On the left and right of the two vice sect masters stood the elders of the Northern and Southern Regions. In front of these elders, there were already four people standing. Other than Luo Xue, the other three were Holy Sons from the Northern Region who could be considered acquaintances at the Tianji Meeting.

When Yan Chutian's gaze swept over, the gazes of many people were also on him. The Elders of the Southern Region were naturally quite friendly towards Yan Chutian, but the Elders of the Northern Region were different. Moreover, other than the Elders of the Northern Region, the Northern Region's Holy Son had a grim expression. This was especially true for Hong Gu. His cold gaze was as if he couldn't wait to rush over and fight with Yan Chutian to dispel his previous humiliation.

It seemed that this Hong Gu had already remembered Yan Chutian firmly in his heart and considered him to be his main enemy. After all, it was Yan Chutian who defeated him in public, making him a loser.

However, since he was already under the cold gaze of a loser, Yan Chutian would naturally not care. He glanced indifferently and ignored her. Then, he bowed to the two Vice Sect Masters and the others. Of course, when facing the Northern Region Elders, the etiquette was very simple and concise.

This made the expression of the Northern Region Elder grow colder. However, with the presence of the two Vice Sect Masters, they could not get angry. They could only stare coldly at Yan Chutian. Looking at their posture, it seemed like it wanted to stare Yan Chutian to death.

The atmosphere became very awkward for a moment.

Fortunately, Zhu Yun quickly smiled and said a few words, gradually easing the atmosphere. Since the Vice Sect Master had spoken, the Northern Region Elder naturally could not continue staring coldly and could only draw their gaze.

The reason why they are here today is very clear. That was to allocate six venues for the Event.

The six of them clearly knew that there was suddenly an additional exam, so they were indifferent and not panicking at the moment.

As for the six places, they were naturally Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu and Luo Xue from the Southern Region, and Hong Gu, Xue Hongyu and Shilong from the Northern Region.

After the allocation of places, Zhu Yun gave a few words of encouragement to the six of them and announced that tomorrow would be the beginning of the ceremony.

Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu left as per instructions. However, not long after he left the Sect Master Hall, the ghost-like Hong Gu also followed and appeared in front of the two.

Hong Gu continued to stare coldly at Yan Chutian, as if a beautiful woman like Qiu Yu was just a skeleton to him. Clearly, the defeat of the Tianji Competition made Yan Chutian occupy the greatest position in his heart, like a demon.

Looking at Hong Gu who was blocking in front of him, Yan Chutian's expression was indifferent. He was able to defeat Hong Gu at the Tianji Competition, so it was only natural that this time was the same. He faintly touched the trajectory of the third spirit pattern. Even if he still could not control it like an arm, it was fine to force him out.

However, Yan Chutian was in no hurry to make a move. He believed that Hong Gu would definitely do the same. After all, the ceremony started tomorrow, and no one was willing to lose strength before the test.

And sure enough, as Yan Chutian had expected, after a long cold stare, Hong Gu suddenly turned around and left, leaving behind a cold sentence.

"Yan Chu, in this test, I, Hong Gu, will definitely surpass you and defeat you fairly!"

Looking towards the direction where Hong Gu disappeared, Qiu Yu could not help but raise the corner of his mouth. He smiled lightly at Yan Chutian and said, "It seems like you are truly an explosive person. No matter where and when, you can always attract a guy like that."

Hearing this, Yan Chutian smiled helplessly. This is not his intention. If possible, he would naturally want to be safe and sound. However, he could not return to the Heaven Realm safely.

Therefore, in the end, Yan Chutian also smiled and said domineeringly with his hands behind his back, "It doesn't matter if I have one more enemy."

Yan Chutian's domineering words immediately made Qiu Yu roll his eyes towards him. However, he was still pretending to be a small madam, which slightly satisfied Yan Chutian.

Night passed and dawn arrived in the blink of an eye. At dawn, there was a huge battleship floating quietly outside the barrier of the Tianji Sect. This warship looks simple, like an ordinary ship, but it is not easy to build. Only a second-rate power could say that it was necessary and could use it at any time.

The Warships were used to bring Yan Chutian and the others to the Star Valley. Otherwise, if some disciples of the Elixir Realm rushed over, they would not be able to reach their destination without ten days to half a month.

Therefore, if an army that did not have warships to send their disciples to the Star Valley, they could only start the journey earlier or use another less powerful vehicle.

Hence, the entire Central Plains was not calm at the moment. There were teams rushing towards the Star Valley from all directions. Some were grand teams that rode warships, some rode ferocious beasts or other equipment, and of course, there were also people who were in a hurry.

However, it was too arbitrary to determine one's identity based solely on the way they went. This is because some hidden experts like not to accentuate themselves. To be called a hidden expert, how could their background be small, and how could their disciples be weak?

In short, when the sun rose, the warship of the Tianji Sect, witnessed by countless disciples, also set off, rushing towards the Star Valley that was destined to erupt with a more intense test.

The depths of the Star Valley were naturally located on the borders of the Central Plains. Therefore, the distance to the Sect was not short. Otherwise, it would not take ten days to half a month for a disciple of the Elixir Realm to rush there.

Even with the battleship, it would still take three full days. After three long days, Yan Chutian felt that the battleship that had long been held in the air finally showed signs of going down.
