In the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent, there were many powerful sects and clans with long histories. However, the strongest power in the Eastern Region was undoubtedly the Star-Seizing Manor.
The Star-Seizing Manor was one of the transcendent powers of Grand Xia, located in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent. Any command they issued could cause the entire Eastern Region to tremble.
At this moment, within the Star-Seizing Manor, a young man stood on a stone platform. This young man was clad in loose robes and exuded an extraordinary demeanor. Just by standing there, he exuded a unique aura. It was as though he was the center of this world, an existence that could attract the gazes of others.
Yang Fan, a Heaven's Chosen of the younger generation from the Star-Seizing Manor, ranked # 18 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. His cultivation base was at the peak of Yuanfu, and there were few who could match him at this level.
Each and every name on the Heavenly Fate Rankings represented those who stood at the pinnacle of Yuanfu. Yang Fan was ranked # 18, which meant that in the entire Grand Xia Empire, the only ones who could defeat him at the Yuanfu level were those ranked above him. How could such a character not be dazzling?
In the Moon Continent, there were four people ranked within the top thirty-six of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Yang Fan belonged to one of them, a Heaven's Chosen from the Star-Seizing Manor.
As for the other three, they were Hua Taixu, a Heaven's Chosen from the Hua Clan, ranked # 1 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Even Yang Fan and the other two paled in comparison to him.
Zhan Chen, a Heaven's Chosen from the Pill Emperor Hall, ranked # 11 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
Zhao Lie, a Heaven's Chosen from the Skyember Sect, ranked # 28 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
These four were extremely famous in the Moon Continent. They were the Four Great Heaven's Chosen of the Moon Continent.
"Do you want to go this time?" Beside Yang Fan, a middle-aged man stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Although he didn't exude any aura, he gave off a tyrannical aura.
"Yes." Yang Fan nodded. "This place is extraordinary, I have to make a trip there."
"It's indeed extraordinary, but it's also extremely dangerous. Back then, Hua Taixu entered and came out injured. The more talented one is, the more dangerous it would be," the middle-aged man calmly replied.
"That's because they have their own goals. How can there be absolute safety in secret realms? Geniuses have strong wills and determination, they would naturally seek opportunities and encounter dangers. But those who are mediocre wouldn't dare to do so, they only care for their own lives.
Yang Fan's voice was calm. He had to enter this place and see what was inside.
"Alright." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. This was the kind of attitude that a proud son of heaven should have, to advance courageously.
"This place is extremely complicated, even Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns are not allowed to enter. Hence, we have no way to follow you in. However, in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent, there are many clans and clans that are already making preparations to pave the way for you. Also, for this exchange, we will select a batch of characters with high attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions to follow you in. After you enter, you have to take care of yourself."
The middle-aged man slowly spoke. Yang Fan stared ahead as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. The major clans were all sharpening their blades, but in his eyes, they were nothing but stepping stones for him. Even the four transcendent powers had sent people to enter, how could the other clans have a chance?
At most, they could only follow behind them and take advantage of the situation. Occasionally, a few powerful figures would appear, but it would be difficult for them to pose a threat.
"Zhao Lie and Zhan Chen should also be participating. I wonder if Hua Taixu will also be participating this time around?" Yang Fan murmured. Hua Taixu was the person he wanted to surpass the most.
The top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings held a completely different meaning compared to those ranked behind him. There were countless experts on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, with a total of 360 names. But the one at the very top was undoubtedly the most dazzling.
The other rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings might be forgotten, but the top ranker would never be forgotten.
"Yang Fan." The middle-aged man spoke again, "Have you ever thought about the matter of a Dao companion?"
"Nope." Yang Fan shook his head.
"Based on your age, you should be able to choose an outstanding Dao companion to accompany you on your journey. Currently, there are quite a few outstanding females in the Moon Continent. Mo Qingcheng from the Pill Emperor Hall is said to be deeply in love with Luo He. Even the Hua Clan is interested in her. Not only that, there's also the younger sister of Bailu Jing from the White Deer Institute, Bailu Yi. Not only that, she's also a pure and gentle beauty with a high level of attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions.
The middle-aged man continued, "Naturally, if you don't have any intentions, let's not talk about a Dao companion for now. Cultivation will always be your number one priority."
"Bailu Jing." Yang Fan murmured in a low voice when he heard this name. The White Deer Institute was indeed extraordinary. Bailu Jing was a ranker on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, and he was ranked near the top.
… …
In the Yan Clan, Yan Tie sat cross-legged while Yan Kong stood respectfully in front of him.
Although Yan Kong had some status in the Yan Clan, he was still extremely afraid of this uncle of his. This uncle of his was too sinister, and no one dared to antagonize him. The death of Hades was inextricably linked to him, and although he asked his father to plead for mercy on his uncle's behalf, as well as to find a few beautiful women for his uncle, he was still worried that Yan Tie would hold a grudge against him.
"Have they always been hiding in the White Deer Institute?" Yan Tie icily asked. The people he was asking about were naturally Qin Wentian and Chu Mang. These two killed his son, how could they still be alive?
"Mhm, they must be afraid of Uncle and are hiding in the White Deer Institute, not daring to show their faces." Yan Kong replied. Yan Tie's sinister eyes flickered with a Cold light as he continued, "I really want to see how long they can hide. The exchange is about to begin, I'm sure that Bailu Yi from the White Deer Institute will be participating as well."
"Bailu Yi's attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions are extremely high, she will definitely participate." Yan Kong nodded.
"Then let's do it during the exchange. I'll get the White Deer Institute to hand them over," Yan Tie sinisterly stated. "If the White Deer Institute continues to shield them, I'll make them regret it."
Yan Kong trembled with trepidation, he didn't say anything. He didn't doubt that if the White Deer Institute had been hiding Qin Wentian all this time, this uncle of his would even dare to make a move against Bailu Yi. In his eyes, he didn't know how to write the word 'fear'.
"The Leng Clan sent more gifts," Yan Kong spoke again. Yan Tie coldly laughed, "The Leng Clan, the death of my son was caused by Leng Ning. Do they really think that the matter would be settled just because Leng Ning is dead? How laughable, they actually want me to give them a slot. Accept all the gifts and tell them to send more over. Also, before the exchange begins, tell the Leng Clan to send over a few beauties. As long as they are the young misses of the Leng Clan, I won't accept any maidservants. "
"Old monster." Yan Kong cursed in his heart. This old monster was truly black-hearted. From the start, he didn't even intend to give the Leng Clan a slot, yet he still lied to them.
And now, he even wanted the Leng Clan to send their young misses over? When he thought of how many beauties would fall into his hands, Yan Kong couldn't help but curse the old monster in his heart. He didn't know which pitiful woman would be the one to suffer.
When the Leng Clan discovered that Yan Tie had no intentions of giving them a slot, how ugly would their countenances be?
Only this old monster would do such a thing. This freak didn't care about anything. Reputation? He was already infamous.
…
The major powers of the Moon Continent were all preparing for the exchange, and the White Deer Institute was no exception.
"Qin Wentian, my White Deer Institute has a clan lord, four supreme elders, and nine elders. The clan lord is my great-grandfather, and the four supreme elders are all my seniors. The authority to make decisions in the Institute lies in the hands of my great-grandfather and the four supreme elders. If the White Deer Institute wishes to make a decision, the decision will be made by the five of them, while the nine supreme elders will carry it out."
Bailu Yi was currently explaining the situation of the White Deer Institute to Qin Wentian. Naturally, it wasn't because she knew of Qin Wentian's identity, but rather because the exchange was about to begin. The White Deer Institute needed to nominate three people to participate in the exchange, with one as the leader and two as assistants. Bailu Yi hoped that Qin Wentian would be the leader, hence, she had to first introduce the situation to Qin Wentian.
However, Qin Wentian suddenly thought of something else. If he wanted to control the White Deer Institute, he would need the approval of Bailu Yi's great-grandfather and the four supreme elders.
To him, this exchange was an opportunity. At the very least, he had to gain the approval of everyone in the White Deer Institute. Only by doing so would he be able to control the Institute which had thousands of years of history. If he only relied on the Azure Emperor Token and a single sentence from him, although the White Deer Institute might still treat him kindly, it would be extremely difficult for him to truly control this power.
"Let's go, the supreme elders are already waiting for us at the White Deer Institute. They clearly know of your existence, so you better perform well." Bailu Yi smiled at Qin Wentian.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later, what's there to be afraid of?" Fan Le murmured, causing Bailu Yi to glare at him. Her beautiful eyes flickered as traces of shyness could be seen on her face. Based on what Fatty had said, it seemed as though she was the one who brought Qin Wentian to meet her parents … Why did she feel that something was wrong?
"Let's go." Qin Wentian had long since prepared his heart for this. Finally, he was going to take the first step. He was filled with anticipation.
How powerful was the White Deer Institute, one of the 'hidden' factions of the Azure Emperor Palace? Most probably, he would only be able to fully grasp the full extent of their power when he was in control.
In the public square of the White Deer Institute, many people were gathered together. The supreme elders were seated on the stage, and to the left and right of them, there were many silhouettes. Their gazes were all focused on a few silhouettes walking in the opposite direction of the public square. A handsome young man walked side by side with Bailu Yi, causing many to furrow their brows.
Did Bailu Yi of the younger generation of the White Deer Institute really have someone in her heart?
Qin Wentian and the rest walked to the front of the public square. Relying on his tyrannical perception, Qin Wentian could clearly feel countless gazes on him. These gazes were filled with sharpness, coldness, and gentleness, but there were very few that were filled with kindness.
This caused Qin Wentian to smile bitterly. The reason for this situation was most probably because the White Deer Institute had misunderstood the relationship between him and Bailu Yi, and treated him as someone she had fallen in love with. After all, Bailu Yi's status in the White Deer Institute was extraordinary.
"Yi-er, what are you waiting for?" Bailu Yi's father, Bailu Shan, called out. Momentarily, Bailu Yi snuck a glance at Qin Wentian, as a smile that was not a smile appeared on her face. She wanted to see how this fellow would deal with this misunderstanding!
