"Welcome to the World of Moon and Star. The World of Moon and Star is a medium-sized miniature world where yin, yang, and the five elements are incomplete. The reason why it's called the World of Moon and Star is because there's only a single star and a single moon. There's no sun …"
Just as everyone stared at the World of Moon and Star curiously, an old voice rang out from up ahead.
A bald old man was sitting cross-legged in front of the crowd. The old man had an ordinary appearance, but he was abnormally thin. Even though he was wrapped in a large white robe, everyone could still see his thin and frail body.
"Greetings to elder He Tian!"
Yan Xue, Gyeonshin, Xin Bin, Da 'an, and Shi De all bowed politely when they saw the old man.
Many of the Divine King present did not know the old man's true identity, but the five candidates had the right to enter the sacred hall, so they came into contact with many elders. As a result, they recognised many of the elders.
The protectors standing behind the five Quasi Saints bowed respectfully after learning of the old man's identity.
Elder He Tian waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. There's no need for such formalities. I'll give you a detailed explanation of the situation of the World of Moon and Star now."
Elder He Tian paused before continuing, "Even though the World of Moon and Star is a medium-sized world, it's extremely vast. Even with the senses of my soul, I can only envelop a tenth of the World of Moon and Star."
"A few vicious beasts live in the World of Moon and Star. Due to the special environment of the World of Moon and Star, the mental development of these vicious beasts is very low. As a matter of fact, even though many of the vicious beasts possess great strength, they still do not possess intelligence. They only act on instinct …"
"Before you came here, the hall elders had already purged the vicious beasts of the World of Moon and Star, slaying all the Primordial realm beasts. As a result, the strongest of the vicious beasts that remain are only late Divine King …"
"You five Prospective Holy Sons will each have one of these tokens. Once you are faced with a life or death crisis, activate this token immediately. Within the Realm of Moon and Star, no matter how far away they were, Old Man could instantly sense the location of the token and come to their rescue. However, once this token is activated, it means that you have already lost the qualifications to compete for the position of Saint … "
"Alright, I've said what I need to say. Now, you can act on your own. How many Origin Pearls you can find in the end will depend on your own luck. The gate to the World of Moon and Star will only open in a year's time. At that time, you can just gather here …"
Elder Hetian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not move at all. He gave a serious order to the crowd, then waved his hand and dismissed them.
Afterwards, the five candidates left the mountain peak with their respective protectors. They did not travel in groups. Instead, they each chose a direction and sped off.
Even though there were many vicious beasts on par with the Divine King in the World of Moon and Star, the candidates did not show any fear at all.
This was because there were many Divine King among their protectors, and they were all powerful Hallowed Saint Masters who were known to be unmatched at the same level. With so many Hallowed Saint Masters with them, they were confident that they could even put up a fight against peak Divine King vicious beasts.
"Chang Yang, you're the weakest. Remember, you can't run around recklessly here. You can't deal with any vicious beast that appears here." At this moment, Donglin Yan Xue suddenly turned around and said to Jianchen. She looked at Jianchen's ordinary face with her dark, beautiful eyes, and an undetectable sliver of mixed feelings appeared.
Ever since she first met Jianchen at the Moon's Reflection Lake, the feeling that Jianchen gave Donglin Yan Xue was that of confidence, maturity, and steadiness. He possessed a calmness where he could remain unfazed even if the sky collapsed. His bearing was completely different from the so-called prodigies she usually saw.
Moreover, whenever she saw Jianchen, Jianchen's gaze towards her would always be as calm as water. It was completely different from the Radiant Saint Masters who pursued her. As a result, Donglin Yan Xue believed that Jianchen had approached her proactively and offered up a precious puresoul just to enter the Tower of Radiance.
After all, the Tower of Radiance was a holy land that all Radiant Saint Masters yearned for. As a Radiant Saint Master, Jianchen's yearning for the Tower of Radiance could not be any more normal.
However, ever since Jianchen took out vice-leader Xuan Zhan's medallion, Donglin Yan Xue began to doubt Jianchen's intentions for approaching her.
Coupled with the explanation from her master, Mu Shui, basically made Donglin Yan Xue believe her master's words completely.
With the vice-leader's medallion, obtaining a spot to enter the Tower of Radiance was nothing difficult at all. However, why did Jianchen offer up a puresoul and go through so much trouble to become her protector?
After all, she was only one of the five candidates. Even Donglin Yan Xue was not confident that she could successfully become the Chosen Saint in the end.
However, Jianchen knew this, yet he still insisted on doing so. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell with a single glance that he was purposefully approaching Donglin Yan Xue.
Jianchen rubbed his nose when he heard what Donglin Yan Xue said. He had no idea how to react. He had never thought that he would actually end up being protected by someone who was equivalent to a Deity.
However, Donglin Yan Xue did not look at Jianchen for too long. She looked away rather indifferently. After confirming that Jianchen was purposefully approaching her, her heart became rather cold in a single moment. The distance between her and Jianchen unknowingly grew further and further.
This was because she found Jianchen's actions very repulsive. Jianchen's various unusual actions in the Radiant Saint Hall had left a proper impression on her, but it collapsed at this moment. As a result, Jianchen was no different from the other suitors in her eyes.
"Haha, junior Chang Yang, I, Le Fan, am a few years older than you, so I'll just call you junior brother. You only need to stay by junior Yan Xue's side in the World of Moon and Star this time. You don't need to worry about anything else. We'll deal with it …" At this moment, one of Yan Xue's protectors said.
He was a middle-aged man, a mid Godking. Jian Chen had learnt about this person before. He was the lord of the Cloudmist Peak, one of the peaks of the Radiant Saint Hall, Le Fan.
His cultivation was even greater than the Soaring Clouds Peak's peak master Han Xin and the Snowfall Peak's peak master Zhou Yuan.
"Haha, that's right. Leave all the beasts we come across to us. Junior Chang Yang, you just need to take care of junior Yan Xue …"
Afterwards, a few more protectors spoke up. They all smiled and treated Jianchen politely. They even flattered him slightly.
Even though Jianchen's cultivation was the lowest among them, so he still needed someone to protect him as a protector. However, with vice-leader Xuan Zhan's support, none of the protectors dared to offend him. They even tried their best to befriend Jianchen.
This was because they all knew that the reason why Jianchen could become a protector was all because of vice-leader Xuan Zhan's arrangements. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to get past elder Mu Zhong.
As for their motives, the few Peak Masters who considered themselves to be astute and farsighted were naturally well aware of it.
Jianchen exchanged some pleasantries with the protectors casually before looking at Donglin Yan Xue. He asked, "Can you sense the location of the Radiant Origin Pearl?" The reason why he asked that was because Jianchen could vaguely sense a pulse that was extremely similar to Radiant Saint Force from a certain place in front of him.
The pulse was extremely obscure and wondrous. He could sense its existence not because his senses were great, but because the Laws of the Hallowed he comprehended seemed to resonate with the pulse.
