Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 76

Han Chen and Elder Zhou chatted happily, almost ignoring the presence of the people around. As they spoke, the two naturally gained a deeper understanding of each other. In the end, everyone waited at the foot of the peak while the two of them conversed.

While waiting, Yan Chutian looked at the overlapping peak within the boundary and asked, "Is this the Tianji Sect?"

Although the vast territory in front of them was not small, it was still a little small in Yan Chutian's eyes. Even if the Tianji Sect was not a first-rate sect in the Central Plains, it shouldn't be like this if it was a second-rate sect.

Before Yan Chutian could finish his sentence, Zhou Yang's expression clearly became furious. However, at the same time, there was helplessness on his face. He sighed and said, "Young Brother Yan, you don't know. Our Tianji Sect naturally does not only have this region in front. It was just that the best and widest region had been taken by the Northern Region. Our vast Southern region can only curl up in a corner here."

Yan Chutian was silent. It seemed that the current situation of the Southern Region was even more miserable than what Han Chen had said. A hundred years had passed, and the Southern Region today was probably even worse than before.

Yan Chutian was worried. Could it be that the Northern Region had taken all the places for the Southern Region to participate in the Miracle Grand Event?

Seeing that Yan Chutian looked worried, Zhou Yang hurriedly said, "But Young Brother Yan, don't worry. Although our Southern Region has been forced into such a corner, we have not completely lost the opportunity to take back that region."

"There is a Heaven's Opportunity every 20 years. This was a clash between the top geniuses of the Northern and Southern Region. Only the top Holy Sons of the two regions can participate. This Heaven's Opportunity is related to the possession of many territories, including many cultivation resources that originally belonged to our Southern Region!"

"I understand."

Yan Chutian nodded gently. However, he did not care about what Zhou Yang said. He only cares about the place for the Akbar Miracle Event.

However, Zhou Yang and the others did not think that way. They all stared expectantly at Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu, especially Qiu Yu. After all, the strength he had displayed not long ago was simply too strong. He had killed the Giant Snake King with a single strike. This was something that even some Saints could not achieve easily.

Not long after they spoke, Han Chen suddenly acted again. He threw a sign into Zhou Yang's hand and said to him, "Zhou Yang, finish Yan Chu and Little Yu first."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yang quickly agreed, but Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu were naturally confused. However, after thinking about it carefully, they understood. Han Chen had just returned, and it was rumored that he had long since died, so there would be a lot of trouble. It was impossible for him to immediately help them gain a spot, so they had to do it step by step.

Therefore, the two agreed and followed Zhou Yang's instructions to settle down.

With the elder's mark, everyone was unobstructed along the way. Soon, they appeared in front of the Service Hall, where the identities of the disciples and related matters were arranged. There were many figures entering and exiting the Service Hall. Judging from their appearance, they should be disciples. Moreover, their auras were not weak, not even weaker than Zhou Yang's aura.

These people obviously knew Zhou Yang, but they did not have a good attitude towards him. They simply glanced at his sister Zhou Qing recklessly from time to time, causing the latter to bite his red lips. He was angry but helpless.

Of course, they also glanced at Qiu Yu today. After all, Qiu Yu's appearance and temperament were more attractive than Zhou Qing's. They could not take their eyes off him, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Immediately, a white-faced young man walked out from the crowd and appeared in front of them. He said to Zhou Yang, "What's up, Young Brother Zhou? Is this another new student?"

Zhou Yang clearly did not have a good attitude towards this white-faced young man. However, due to the sect, he still replied, "This is the new disciple, Young Brother Yan Chu and Young Brother Qiu Yu."

"Yes, the quality of this new batch of disciples is quite good. They had all entered the final stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm."

The white-faced young man smiled faintly. "Both of these new students were both able to obtain second-rate student status. After cultivating in the sect for a while, they might be able to become first-rate disciples like you.

“However, if they want to become a Holy Son Candidate like me, they still need a long time to hone themselves!”

When the white-faced young man said the words "Holy Son Candidate", many of the surrounding disciples refrained from showing envious gazes. This was because the higher the status of disciples, the more cultivation resources they could obtain. It is also a kind of honor that will make people respect them wherever they go.

At the same time, Zhou Yang explained to Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu in a low voice, "Our Heaven Secrets Sect disciples are divided into several ranks. The outer disciples were the lowest, and above them were third grade disciples. Above the first grade disciples were the Candidate Holy Son, and then the Holy Son.

"Each rank disciple can obtain the appropriate cultivation resources, but the higher the rank of a disciple, the more cultivation resources they will obtain. This Zhao Hong was originally a first-rate student like me, but it seems like he is here to obtain the Jade Stone." Tablet Candidate for Holy Son.”

Zhou Yang did not express any envy towards Zhao Hong. This was because what he wanted was not only the status of a would-be Holy Disciple, but a true Sacred Disciple!

The reaction of the surrounding disciples made the white-faced young man, Zhao Hong, extremely proud. However, when he glanced at Qiu Yu, he did not see the expression he expected. It makes him feel a little embarrassed.

But at this point, he could do nothing more. He could only flick his sleeves and enter the Service Hall. Zhao Hong thought this woman still did not know the strength of the Holy Son Candidate. He would understand in a moment and secretly send a flirtatious glance at her.

"Junior Brother Yan Chu, Junior Sister Qiu Yu, let's go in as well."

… …

The service hall is very large. In the depths of the hall, there was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, guarding an area. He was the Elder of the Service Hall, Sun Yun.

In front of Sun Yun, there were many busy figures. There was a young man who had just become the caretaker of the Ministry Hall, and there were also parents who had been stewards for many years, handling any changes in the status of disciples.

Originally, the Service Hall was peaceful until Zhao Hong appeared. After all, the difficulty of applying for the Candidate of the Holy Son was not small. Otherwise, if everyone could become a Holy Son Candidate, how could this status be considered strong?

"You want to propose to the Holy Son Candidate?"

A white-haired servant appeared in front of Zhao Hong. Facing such a servant, even if Zhao Hong was so flamboyant in the outside world, he had no choice but to hold back. He nodded and said, "Uncle Wu, I passed the Holy Son Candidate examination a few days ago. Today, I am here to exchange for the Jade Tablet of the Holy Son Candidate."
