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 Heavenly Fate Sect had already reached its peak. This was because everyone knew that in five days, it would be the day of the selection of the peak Saints.
At this time, the upper echelons of the sect had already begun to take action. On the huge grounds in the middle of the northern and southern regions, many arenas were slowly built, attracting everyone's attention.
The top Saint selection was a competition for every Saint's ability. The rules of the selection were extremely simple — it was an all-out battle between the Saints. If they won, they would advance to the next round. The final ten people would be the top Saints.
At the same time, countless Saints who were out or in seclusion appeared in the sect during these ten days. Such a grand event involved every Saint. How could they miss it!
At the same time, Han Chen appeared in front of Yan Chutian's cave abode again. This time, he did not conceal his aura, so Mu Wan also sensed it and appeared in Yan Chutian's cave abode a moment later.
Without any fear of Mu Wan, Han Chen raised his hand and handed a jade bottle to Yan Chutian. Then, he met Yan Chutian's gaze and said slowly, "This is the last thing you wanted."
Hearing that, Yan Chutian opened the jade bottle and scanned it. He immediately beamed at Han Chen and said, "Thank you for your reward, Elder Han!"
However, while Yan Chutian was beaming with joy, 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 Saint selection is in five days. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Mu Wan nodded slightly, but Yan Chutian's reaction was much more lively than hers. He continued to smile and said, "Don't worry, Elder Han. The top Saint position will naturally belong to Senior Sister and me. At the same time, the two of us will also shine in the Tianji Gathering! "
"Kid, you sure make it sound nice. If it was your Senior Sister, I naturally wouldn't be worried. But if it's just you, aren't you being a little too arrogant to say such words? "
Han Chen frowned slightly. Although Yan Chutian was also extraordinary in his eyes, he had only just entered the Elixir realm. Compared to those peak Saints who were comparable to fourth level Elixir, the gap was still too big.
Even Mu Wan made him slightly worried. After all, Mu Wan's cultivation was only at Level 2 Elixir.
"Then it seems that Elder Han does not believe in the strength of Senior Sister and I."
In response to Han Chen's question, Yan Chutian did not hold back at all as he continued to argue, "How about this? If the two of us are really able to become top-tier Saints, how about Elder Han prepare a Star Origin Pill for me and Senior Sister?"
"Star Origin Pill?"
Han Chen's indifferent face couldn't help but twitch. He didn't expect that Yan Chutian would really dare to mention it, even mentioning the Star Origin Pill.
However, Han Chen didn't want to show any weakness. At the same time, he responded domineeringly to Yan Chutian's words. "Alright, I, Han Chen, can still take out two Star Origin Pills. If the two of you become top-tier Saints, this old man will give each of you a Star Origin Pill."
"But if we succeed, we will get a Star Origin Pill. What if we fail?"
"Elder Han must be joking. If we fail, we will also lose the reason why we agreed to join the Southern Region. So, how can we fail?"
"Moreover, it's just becoming one of the top-tier Saints. How can this be considered a failure?"
After sending Han Chen off, Yan Chutian took the last few things that Han Chen had given him and prepared to go into seclusion for the last time. Even though he had successfully condensed two spirit patterns, the barely condensed spirit patterns were too rough. It could only be perfected by repeated polishing.
This was the purpose of his seclusion. However, the extent to which he could perfect the two spirit patterns in these five days would depend on Yan Chutian himself and the will of the heavens …
The last five days passed in the end. On the day after the fifth day, before dawn, many figures rushed to the central square. Even though they weren't Saints and didn't have the qualifications to participate in the selection, their purpose wasn't to participate in the selection. They just wanted to see this sumptuous feast.
The sun rose from the east, bringing with it a warm light that gradually enveloped the earth. Looking over, there were already countless figures gathered around the square. Most likely, almost all the disciples of the Southern Region had already appeared here.
Thus, when Yan Chutian appeared here, a trace of daze flashed across his face. Even though he had seen many grander scenes, this still made him reminisce about the past. He reminisced about the times when he participated in such grand events with great expectations, doing his best to stand out from the crowd, standing at the peak, and enjoying the admiration of countless gazes.
He had gained a lot along the way, but lost a lot at the same time. And this rebirth was like giving him a chance to start all over again!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Yan Chutian seemed to be in a daze, Mu Wan couldn't help but ask softly. Hearing this, the former subconsciously raised his head and immediately locked his eyes on her. Looking at this extremely familiar face, Yan Chutian finally couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart. Under Mu Wan's shocked gaze, he raised his hand and held her jade hand tightly.
Feeling the other party's domineering aura, Mu Wan didn't know what was wrong with her. She actually couldn't summon up any strength to resist and could only let Yan Chutian hold her jade hand tightly. A crimson color gradually appeared on her cheeks.
Even Mu Wan herself understood that Yan Chutian's sudden actions were mostly because of her face. This face was extremely similar to the woman sleeping in her body, but she pretended not to know anything and silently enjoyed this moment of warmth.
It was a pity that warmth was always short-lived. Yan Chutian quickly regained his senses. Knowing what he had done in a daze, he quickly retracted his hand with a nervous expression.
Fortunately, at this moment, the ancient sound of a bell rang, shaking the entire square and even the Southern Region.
The two of them looked at the high platform in the sky above the square. Suddenly, from the horizon, there were figures flying over and landing on the high platform one after another.
Every figure carried a terrifying aura. They were the upper echelons of the Southern Region, the elders. Their cultivations were at least in the Yuanying Realm, far above the disciples and even the Holy Sons.
Many elders appeared. Yan Chutian saw Han Chen and also saw Luo Qingyi, whom he had always heard of but had never seen before. Of course, this didn't include the elders that he had met when he first entered the Southern Region. Looking at the elders, there were more than ten of them.
Normally speaking, even if it was the selection of the top Holy Sons, the Vice Sect Leader and the Sect Leader wouldn't appear, unless it was the Heavenly Fate Sect. This was because both the Vice Sect Leader and the Sect Leader didn't just belong to the Northern Region or the Southern Region. They controlled the entire Heavenly Fate Sect.
However, what was unbelievable was that this time, although the Vice Sect Leader and the Sect Leader didn't appear, someone who was even more powerful than the Vice Sect Leader did. He was Yin-yang Master!
"Holy Teacher, he's here too?!"
"The Holy Teacher is in charge of the Northern and Southern Regions, but he almost never interferes with the affairs of the Southern Region. However, he actually appeared in the selection of the top Holy Sons in the Southern Region?"
"Even the Holy Teacher has appeared. Could it be that any Holy Son in the Southern Region can attract his attention?!"
"…"
Exclamations continued to ring out. Not to mention the ordinary disciples surrounding the square, even the top-notch Holy Sons participating in the selection, and even the elders on the high platform, all focused their gazes on the middle-aged figure that had appeared somewhere in the sky.
However, Yin-yang Master didn't say anything despite being stared at by so many people. He only nodded slightly at the elders, indicating for them to continue.
However, even if he didn't say anything, it made everyone pay more attention to this selection of the top Holy Son for no reason. In their opinion, for Yin-yang Master, who had never interfered with the affairs of the sect, to appear, this selection must be of great importance.
Looking at Yin-yang Master's figure, Yan Chutian smiled speechlessly. Others might not know the reason for Yin-yang Master's arrival, but how could he not know? This Yin-yang Master was definitely here for him. He probably wanted to see how powerful this fellow who had the guts to propose a deal with him was, right?
However, even if he knew the reason, Yan Chutian wouldn't say anything, as if he didn't notice him at all. Because even if he said it, the surrounding disciples would probably think that he was spouting nonsense and flattering himself.
