Xiatian returned to the mountain.
The outside world was in an uproar.
The battle at the Heaven and Earth Pass could be said to have shocked the entire Tianyuan Continent.
A person who was not even fifty years old actually broke through the defense of a red level expert, Emperor Gou Guang, and successfully passed the pass.
Although Xiatian did not win against Emperor Gou Guang.
But just this point alone was enough to shock everyone.
He was not even fifty years old.
At this age, he could only be considered a child in Tianyuan Continent.
But Emperor Gou Guang was an expert who had lived for more than twenty thousand years. He was also a red level expert, a super expert who had been famous for a long time. Such an expert was actually played by a nobody.
It could be said that this was really too embarrassing.
But he could also be considered as a stepping stone for Xiatian.
This year.
Xiatian's achievements outside were simply too brilliant.
Killed one of the five heroes of Tianyuan Continent, Windrunner.
Killed two million people in three days.
Killed thirty thousand yellow level experts.
Passed the Heaven and Earth Pass.
These things added together made Xiatian completely famous in Tianyuan Continent. Now in Tianyuan Continent, there were too many people who knew of Xiatian's name because he could be considered half a grassroots person. In the past, among the super geniuses, all of them had backing and background.
But Xiatian was different. Although he was a disciple of Burning Sky Sect, he was not famous in Burning Sky Sect. Moreover, he was chased for so long, but no one from Burning Sky Sect came to help him.
This meant that he was not valued in Burning Sky Sect.
Of course, even if he was not valued.
Now that he had returned.
Emperor Red Leaf did not dare to come here to ask for him.
Because this was the biggest provocation to Burning Sky Sect.
Ou Zhizi's reputation was not for nothing.
Coming here to ask for the person was simply asking for humiliation.
Although the outside world had not announced it.
But outside, everyone already thought that Xiatian was one of the five heroes of Tianyuan Continent. Since Feng Xing was killed by him, his reputation was enough, so everyone silently agreed. And those grassroots people and rogue cultivators were also willing to support Xiatian, who climbed up step by step.
In this way, they would also think that they might have such a fate one day.
This was a kind of yearning.
In the past, no matter how hard they tried, they never had a chance.
This was because the world was like this. If you were not from a big family or a big power, you would not have the chance to reach the peak.
"How was your rest?" Snowburial came over and Asked.
"Much better," said Xiatian.
"Your reputation has been extremely resounding recently. My ears are about to rust from hearing about you in the Burning Sky Sect. It's a pity that I can't leave." What Snowburial meant was that he had wanted to go out and help, but for some reason, he couldn't leave the Burning Sky Sect.
"Is this an order from the higher-ups?" Xiatian Asked.
"Second generation disciples, they have sealed off the Burning Sky Sect. No one is allowed to go out and help you. If you can come back, then you will be a candidate for the second generation disciple. If you can't, then it means that you can't be a candidate for the second generation disciple. You might as well die outside." Snowcrypt was very direct, but Xiatian knew this wasn't what Snowcrypt was saying to him. It was what the higher-ups wanted.
Snowcrypt was just translating.
"How realistic. Nearly ten thousand people went out this time and only two came back. Don't the higher-ups have anything to say?" Xiatian Asked.
"There's nothing to say. Everything is within the higher-ups' expectations. However, they expected only one person to come back, or a group to come back. But in the end, only two people came back. Moreover, it's you and Bei Ye. The higher-ups have always hoped that only one of you and Bei Ye would come back," explained Snowcrypt.
In the eyes of the higher-ups, they were like chess pieces. Their fates were all planned out. As for who could walk to the end, it would depend on who was the lucky one.
"Is this how the second generation disciples are chosen?" Xiatian Asked.
"Yes, this is how the second generation disciples are chosen. Now, there are a total of eight second generation disciples. Which one of them didn't step on countless corpses to reach this position? But once they reach this position, their status will completely change. They will directly become the Ancestor's disciple and can watch the Ancestor refine artifacts," explained Snowcrypt.
"Was there only eight second generation disciples in the Burning Sky Sect in the past?" Xiatian Asked.
"No, second generation disciples die as well. I've heard that some of them went berserk while refining weapons, and some were killed by outsiders when they went out to train. But whenever someone dies, Burning Sky Sect will take revenge," Snow Burial explained.
Now, it was as if he could vaguely guess something in the summer.
The two sons of the Old Town of Shu He should be the second generation disciples.
As for how they died, Xiatian still didn't know. But as long as he mixed in with the higher-ups and became a second generation disciple, he would have a chance to find out.
At that time, as long as he was careful, he might be able to find out something.
In that case, he could report back to Bai Xiaosheng.
Although he had fought with Bai Xiaosheng, he would definitely complete the task given to him by Bai Xiaosheng. This was because he knew that Bai Xiaosheng was doing this for his own good. If Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to harm him, then he would have died long ago.
"How can I become a second generation disciple?" Asked Xiatian.
"You are now a candidate," said Snowcrypt.
"What's a candidate?" Asked Xiatian, puzzled.
"Simply put, there are a total of six candidates for the second generation disciple position. You and me, Bei Ye and his master, as well as the Second Gate Master and the Third Gate Master. But out of these six, only one can become a second generation disciple. It's also possible that all six can become second generation disciples. It depends on how the higher-ups choose," said Snowcrypt.
"That's interesting." Xiatian said.
"It's very difficult. Only by becoming a second generation disciple can you learn the ancestor's true refining skills. So this spot is very attractive. Now that you're only one step away from becoming a true second generation disciple, no one wants to make a mistake at this time," said Snowcrypt.
At this moment.
Snowcrypt suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Asked Xiatian.
"The second generation disciples are here. Come with me to greet them!" said Snowcrypt.
Xiatian naturally didn't dare to be careless. The second generation disciples were different from them. Now that the second generation disciples were here, they had to quickly greet them.
Soon, Xiatian ran to the entrance of Snowcrypt.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle!" Snowcrypt respectfully said.
