Because it was only a temporary residence, Xiao Chen didn't have any requests. However, the Tianfeng Saint actually came to visit that night, which surprised Xiao Chen.
The Tianfeng Saint naturally had something to tell Xiao Chen. The two of them took their seats in the room. The Tianfeng Saint sat on the main seat and looked at Xiao Chen with admiration in his eyes.
"Xiao Chen, the time for your assessment has been set. It will begin tomorrow."
Tomorrow would be the day of the Candidate Saint's assessment. Xiao Chen did not mind and nodded in response. Seeing this, Tianfeng Saint also smiled.
"You don't have to worry too much about the Prospective Saint's assessment. Originally, I intended to let you take the assessment after two years. However, Kuang Li said that it would be helpful for you to take the assessment first. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Therefore, you don't have to feel too pressured during this assessment. Just take it as accumulating experience and preparing for the next assessment. After all, you're still young, so there's no need to be too anxious."
The Tianfeng Saint and the others didn't have high hopes for Xiao Chen's assessment this time. The most important reason was that Xiao Chen was too young and his cultivation was too low.
Under normal circumstances, the minimum cultivation needed to be at the Great Perfection of the Dao Gate Realm to take part in the assessment. Some Prospective Saints were even at the Dao Transformation Realm when they took part in the assessment. Moreover, the requirements for the Prospective Saint and the Saint were the same. As long as they weren't over 100 years old, they could take part in the assessment.
Therefore, the Tianfeng Saint said that Xiao Chen was too young. It was also because Xiao Chen was too young and his cultivation was too low that the Tianfeng Saint didn't have high hopes for Xiao Chen.
Of course, with Xiao Chen's current age and talent, there was no problem at all for him to become the candidate Son. Even if there were no accidents, there would be no problem for him to become the Son. However, what Xiao Chen needed now was time to settle down.
It was as if he had already determined that Xiao Chen would fail this time. Even the Tianfeng Saint had already arranged everything for Xiao Chen. After tomorrow's assessment, Xiao Chen would enter the Ancient Saint Sect and become a pro-disciple first. Two years later, he would take the assessment of the Candidate Saint. These two years would give Xiao Chen enough time.
Upon hearing the Tianfeng Saint's words, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "Accumulating experience?"
The Tianfeng Saint and the others didn't think highly of him, but in Xiao Chen's opinion, he didn't have that much time to waste. Therefore, this time, Xiao Chen wasn't planning on accumulating experience. Instead, he wanted to do his best and pass the test in one go.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't say these thoughts out loud. Nodding, Xiao Chen said, "I will work hard."
"Okay, then rest early. I will come and pick you up tomorrow." Hearing this, the Tianfeng Saint nodded and left.
After the Tianfeng Saint left, Xiao Chen asked Xiao Sheng gloomily, "Old Ancestor, do you think I can pass the assessment? The Tianfeng Saint and the others don't think highly of me. "
"Kid, what's wrong? Don't you have confidence? Logically speaking, with your cultivation, it's naturally impossible for you to pass the assessment. However, you have the Tempered Battle Body and I am here. This assessment is nothing. "Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng replied with a smile.
Although there was no specific cultivation level requirement for the candidate to pass the assessment, the lowest cultivation level of anyone who passed the assessment was at the Great Fulfilment of the Dao Gate Realm. Xiao Chen was only at the Entry Level of the Dao Gate Realm, so the success rate was almost zero.
However, Xiao Chen had the Tempered Battle Body and Xiao Chen's existence. These two points could make up for Xiao Chen's lack of cultivation to a certain extent. Moreover, from Xiao Sheng's tone, it seemed like passing the assessment wasn't difficult at all.
With Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen was somewhat confident. In fact, Xiao Chen wasn't unaware that it wasn't the best time for him to participate in the assessment. However, Xiao Chen had his own reasons.
Rather than follow the Tianfeng Saint's advice and train as a direct disciple for two years, he might as well do his best to obtain the position of the Saint.
In any case, Xiao Chen would need time to improve himself. How could the treatment of a direct disciple compare to that of a Saint? Rather than wasting two years, Xiao Chen might as well take one step at a time. In this way, he could enjoy the treatment of a Saint for two more years, which would naturally be more beneficial to his cultivation.
It was precisely because of this idea that Xiao Chen was so desperate.
Xiao Chen cultivated quietly for a night in his residence. The next morning, the Tianfeng Saint came to pick him up personally. At the same time, the news that someone was going to take the test of the candidate had somehow spread among the disciples of the Ancient Saint Sect.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, especially when it came to something as important as the assessment. Therefore, the news that someone was going to participate in the assessment had already spread, and many disciples paid close attention to it.
In a quaint courtyard in the Ancient Sacred Sect, this courtyard was definitely one of the most famous places in the Ancient Sacred Sect. Not only was the environment beautiful, but it was also the residence of one of the four Saints of the Ancient Sacred Sect, Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was sitting cross-legged beside a stream in the courtyard. There was a stream running through the courtyard, and Chen Yu was holding a fishing rod and fishing idly by the stream.
Just as Chen Yu was yawning out of boredom, Yi Xu had appeared behind him out of nowhere. Her face was still expressionless as she spoke.
"Saint, I heard that someone is going to challenge the assessment today."
Upon hearing Yi Xu's words, Chen Yu said lazily, "Ah, I already knew about this. That kid, Xiao Chen, is really not simple. How long has it been since we last met? I didn't expect that kid to have already broken through to the Dao Gate Realm."
Chen Yu had known about this for a long time. Not only that, but he also knew that the challenger was Xiao Chen.
It wasn't just Chen Yu. In the other three residences of the Saints of the Ancient Sacred Sect, the other three Saints were also discussing Xiao Chen. Hu Fei, who had met Xiao Chen once before, was currently cultivating his spear arts in the courtyard. This guy was a cultivation maniac, and he was cultivating almost all the time.
After completing a set of spear arts, Hu Fei put away his spear and looked towards the location of the assessment. His eyes flickered with an inexplicable light, "Xiao Chen, it seems that I really underestimated you last time."
Xiao Chen didn't know that the entire Ancient Sacred Sect was paying attention to him. Following the Tianfeng Saint, Xiao Chen arrived at the location of the assessment. It was located in an independent space deep within the Ancient Sacred Sect's Sacred Palace.
