Han Chen and Elder Zhou Xuan chatted happily, almost ignoring the presence of the people around them. As they talked, the two of them naturally gained a deeper understanding of each other. In the end, everyone waited at the foot of the peak while the two of them leaped up.
While waiting, Yan Chutian looked at the overlapping peaks within the boundary and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Tian Ji 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 Tian Ji 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 a little angry. However, at the same time, there was a hint of helplessness on his face. He sighed and said, "Junior Brother Yan, you don't know. Our Tian Ji Sect naturally doesn't only have this territory in front of us. It's just that the best and most spacious area has been taken by the North Region. Our vast Southern Region can only curl up in a corner here."
Yan Chutian was speechless. It seemed that the Southern Region's current situation 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 couldn't help but worry. Could it be that the Northern Region had taken away all the spots for the Southern Region to participate in the Prodigy's Grand Event?
Seeing that Yan Chutian seemed to be worried, Zhou Yang hurriedly said, "But Junior Brother Yan, don't worry. Even though our Southern Region has been forced to such a corner, we haven't completely lost the chance to take back those territories."
"There is a Heaven Opportunity every 20 years. It's a clash between the top geniuses of the Northern and Southern Regions. Only the top Holy Sons of the two regions can participate. This Heaven Opportunity is related to the ownership of many territories, including many cultivation resources that originally belonged to our Southern Region!"
"I understand."
Yan Chutian nodded gently. However, he didn't care about what Zhou Yang said. He only cared about the spots for the Prodigy's Grand Event.
However, Zhou Yang and the others didn't think that way. They all cast hopeful gazes at Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu, especially Qiu Yu. After all, the strength she had displayed not long ago was simply too powerful. She had killed the Giant Python King with a single strike. This was something that even some of the Saints could not easily accomplish.
Not long after they conversed, Han Chen suddenly acted again. He threw a token into Zhou Yang's hand and said to him, "Zhou Yang, settle Yan Chu and Little Yu down first."
"Yes!"
Zhou Yang quickly agreed, but Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu were naturally puzzled. However, after thinking about it carefully, they understood. Han Chen had just returned, and it was rumored that he had died long ago, so there would be a lot of trouble. It was impossible for him to immediately help them get a spot, so they had to take it step by step.
Therefore, the two of them agreed and followed Zhou Yang's lead to settle down.
With the elder's token, everyone was unimpeded along the way. Soon, they appeared in front of the Steward's Hall, where the disciples' identities and related matters were arranged. There were many figures going in and out of the Steward's Hall. Judging from their appearances, they should be disciples. Moreover, their auras were not weak, not even weaker than Zhou Yang's.
These people obviously knew Zhou Yang, but they didn't have a good attitude toward him. They only glanced at his sister Zhou Qing frivolously from time to time, causing the latter to bite her red lips. She 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 couldn't take their eyes off her, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Immediately, a white-faced young man squeezed out of the crowd and appeared in front of them. He said to Zhou Yang, "What's wrong, Junior Brother Zhou? Is this another new disciple?"
As he spoke, his gaze moved up and down Qiu Yu's body without leaving a trace. He thought he hid it very well, but he didn't know that everyone saw it clearly.
Zhou Yang obviously didn't have a good attitude toward this white-faced young man. However, due to the sect, he still answered, "These are the new disciples, Junior Brother Yan Chu and Junior Brother Xiao Yu."
"Yes, the quality of this batch of new disciples is pretty good. They've all entered the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm."
The white-faced young man smiled faintly. "These two new disciples can both obtain second-class disciple status. After cultivating in the sect for a while, they might be able to become first-class disciples like you.
"However, if they want to become a Prospective Holy Son like me, they still need a long time to hone themselves!"
When the white-faced young man said the words "Prospective Holy Son," many of the surrounding disciples couldn't help but reveal envious gazes. This was because the higher a disciple's status was, the more cultivation resources they could obtain. This was also a kind of honor that would make people revere them wherever they went.
At the same time, Zhou Yang explained to Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu in a low voice, "Our Heaven's Secrets Sect's disciples are divided into several ranks. The outer disciples are the lowest, and above them are the third-class disciples. Above the first-class disciples are the Prospective Holy Sons, and then the Holy Sons.
"Every rank of disciple can obtain corresponding cultivation resources, but the higher a disciple's rank is, the more cultivation resources they will obtain. This Zhao Hong was originally a first-class disciple like me, but it looks like he's here to obtain the Jade Tablet of the Prospective Holy Son. "
Zhou Yang did not express any envy towards Zhao Hong. This was because what he wanted was not just the status of a candidate Holy Disciple, but the true Holy Disciple!
The reactions of the surrounding disciples made the white-faced young man, Zhao Hong, very proud. However, when he glanced at Qiu Yu, he didn't see the expression he expected. This made him feel a bit embarrassed.
But at this point, he couldn't do anything more. He could only flick his sleeves and enter the Steward Hall. Zhao Hong thought that this woman still didn't know the power of the Prospective Holy Son. She would understand in a while and secretly send flirtatious glances at him.
"Junior Brother Yan, Junior Sister Xiaoyu, let's go in too."
… …
The Steward Hall was very spacious. 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 Steward Hall, Sun Yun.
In front of Sun Yun, there were many busy figures. There were young people who had just become stewards of the Steward Hall, and there were also old people who had been stewards for many years, handling every disciple's status change.
Originally, the Steward Hall was peaceful until Zhao Hong appeared. After all, the difficulty of applying for the Prospective Holy Son was not small. Otherwise, if everyone could become a Prospective Holy Son, how could this status be considered powerful?
"You want to apply for the Prospective Holy Son?"
A white-haired steward appeared in front of Zhao Hong. Facing such a steward, even if Zhao Hong was very flamboyant in the outside world, he had no choice but to restrain himself. He nodded and said, "Steward Wu, I passed the Prospective Holy Son test a few days ago. Today, I'm here to exchange for the Prospective Holy Son Jade Tablet."
