This is one of the three Saints of the world, Hundred Flowers Fairy's disciple.
I heard that Bai Hua sect doesn't have a lot of people, so everyone is treated extremely well.
Not to mention, after joining the sect, there's basically no one to compete for cultivation resources, there are countless secret scriptures and scriptures for you to see, and you might even be taught by the Saint himself.
The crowd started to become restless.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned for a few seconds, then sternly spoke: "Without the Saint's order, my junior sister and I cannot accept disciples, otherwise if the Saint gets angry, we'll be fine with a bit of punishment, but you might not even be able to keep your life, so you should leave"
The man was about to say something else, but Gu Qing Shan had already looked around and raised her voice: "I'll say it out loud, my junior sister and I are the disciples of Bai Hua sect this time, other than us, Bai Hua sect does not intend to accept disciples"
"If you really want to join Bai Hua sect, then please try the Bai Hua list first"
Seeing how determined he was, the newcomers around him finally gave up.
Hearing that, the man unwillingly stood up and left, mumbling to himself as he walked.
"I kneeled for nothing, brat …"
Lee Chang An stood afar and laughed, muttering to himself: "Bai Hua sect doesn't accept disciples, but if I can defeat these two newcomers, I'm sure many big sects will look up to me"
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone here was a cultivator, so it wasn't hard for them to hear what he said.
Many of them were a bit surprised, looking at Gu Qing Shan and Xiu Xiu.
At this point, the 3rd round was over.
Ning Yuechan walked down from the platform.
Following her was the final round of the semester examination.
The four sect masters walked up, bowed to the Heavenly Palace, and placed their hands on the four pillars of the platform.
They infused their spirit energy into the pillars.
Not too long after, the four pillars lit up, as did the entire platform.
Four beams of golden light rose from the four platforms and flew straight into the dark sky, shooting into the endless depths of the sky.
One of the sect masters solemnly declared: "The final round, Chosen of Divinity, begins"
According to the ancient records, the competition between humans would attract the attention of the gods. If there was a newcomer that the gods took a liking to, the gods would bestow a gift to help the cultivator cultivate.
Now, the gods were long gone, but the human race had kept this tradition going for thousands of years.
The wide platform was divided into four parts, and each part was a separate arena.
A rookie jumped onto the stage and said loudly, "I'm Zhang Cong. Who wants to challenge me?"
"I'll do it!" Another rookie jumped onto the stage.
The referee looked at the two of them and found that they were both in the Qi Refining Realm. He nodded and warned, "This is just a spar, don't be too heavy."
"Yes." Both of them answered.
"Begin!"
The two of them began to fight.
Not long after, one person was defeated, and the other won.
In the other three arenas, cultivators also began to fight.
"Senior Brother, what should we do?" Xiu Xiu asked.
"Ah, let's just watch," replied Gu Qing Shan.
"Wouldn't Shifu be angry if we come here and do nothing?" Xiu Xiu worriedly asked.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "Did you forget Shifu's words?"
"I remember, come safely, and return safely" Xiu Xiu answered.
Gu Qing Shan also said: "That's right, we just need to show our faces here to show that Bai Hua sect's people are here, then watch the others fight to broaden our horizons, that's enough"
He rubbed Xiu Xiu's head, saying: "Not to mention, our Xiu Xiu is only 8 years old, fighting and killing can wait for a few more years"
Xiu Xiu smiled and relaxed.
She watched the battles on the stage, not too long after, she became engrossed.
Gu Qing Shan was also glancing at them from time to time.
After a while, he occasionally turned to look at Ning Yuechan, causing her to blush a bit.
It couldn't be helped, this girl was too easy on the eyes. Gu Qing Shan also instinctively wanted to look at her.
Taking advantage of the heated battles on the stage, Ning Yuechan finally found a chance to glare at Gu Qing Shan without being noticed.
Gu Qing Shan didn't dare to tease her anymore.
— — -there were several realms between the two of them, if Ning Yuechan really wanted to go all out, a single glare from her would be enough to make Gu Qing Shan bleed half of her blood.
Finally, the 3rd round of the semester examination picked out the top 20 seeded contestants.
All the sect masters looked at the new contestants on the stage, praised them, and quickly selected them in their minds.
To be able to make it this far, cultivation talent, personal effort, and fighting talent were all outstanding, the only thing that mattered was whether or not they fit their sect's scripture.
"Very well, all of your victories are very high, we will now pick out the top 3 from among you to complete this time's Chosen of Divinity" one of the sect masters said.
"Now, you may begin the challenge"
The so-called challenge is when you want to challenge someone, shout out their name, and they will have to accept, otherwise they'll be automatically eliminated.
The 20 contestants exchanged glances, quickly looking around at the others, trying to find their opponent.
This was also a test of one's observation and judgment.
Suddenly, someone spoke up: "I challenge Bai Hua sect's Gu Qing Shan"
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Qing Shan and Xiu Xiu.
"Senior brother" Xiu Xiu called out.
"It's fine" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He could tell that this person was the one who knelt down just now.
Has he gone crazy from wanting to be famous?
Leng Tian Xing was one of the judges, so he stopped them first: "Gu Qing Shan didn't make it to the top 20, not within the scope of the challenge"
The man replied: "According to the Chosen of Divinity rules, the top 20 can challenge anyone they want, no one can stay out of it"
That's true, but almost no one has ever done that before.
Because anyone who can't even make it to the top 20 has already fallen.
If a strong person goes to challenge the weak, everyone will look down on you.
Not to mention, there are some sect disciples like Bai Hua sect who, due to various reasons, only came to witness the semester examination and didn't intend to go on stage.
Ning Yuechan spoke up: "Bai Hua sect has been spectating the entire time, they haven't gone on stage, so they're not within the scope of the challenge"
Hearing two great cultivators say that, the man was a bit hesitant.
Lee Chang An suddenly stood up, laughing: "Very good, very brave of you, daring to challenge a Saint's disciple, very good, a cultivator should be like this, knowing when to face difficulties"
"This time, no matter if you win or lose, our Blue Clouds sect will accept you"
No matter if you win or lose.
That means they have to fight.
The man understood right away, and so did the cultivators around him.
If they fight, they'll be accepted into Blue Clouds sect.
Blue Clouds sect is also a Saint's disciple, they have a lot of people, no one dares to mess with them when they travel the world, they're very influential in the cultivation world.
On one side is Bai Hua sect who doesn't want to accept people, on the other side is Blue Clouds sect who wants to accept people.
Comparing the two, Blue Clouds sect is the true path to heaven!
Out of the 20 people, more than half of them started to shout.
"Why can't I challenge him?"
"He's also here for the semester examination, why does he have the privilege of not accepting challenges?"
"We respect the Saints, but he's not a Saint!"
"If cultivators don't exchange pointers, what kind of cultivators are they?"
The great cultivators all looked at each other, feeling a bit troubled.
The elite cultivators of the sects, aside from Ning Yuechan and Leng Tian Xing, were all silent.
It's because Gu Qing Shan was in the limelight too much, not only was he brought to the Heavenly Palace by the Beast Saint, but also Ning Yuechan went to speak up for him, making everyone jealous.
Making a fool of such a person and making him look bad was also a delightful thing.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, Gu Qing Shan stood up, clasped his fist and bowed, saying: "Everyone, please listen to my explanation"
He sincerely said: "There's a misunderstanding about this"
The leader glared at him and asked: "What misunderstanding?"
Gu Qing Shan answered: "It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that before we left, the Saint ordered us not to fight"
The leader was waiting for him to speak, ready to refute him as soon as he finished speaking.
But when Gu Qing Shan said that, he was stunned for a while, unable to think of anything to refute.
The Saint.
The Saint ordered.
The Saint doesn't allow me to fight.
That's why I won't fight.
In front of the ring, the top 20 cultivators of the semester examination exchanged glances.
He's ordered by his master not to fight, how are we supposed to refute that? How are we supposed to provoke him?
Do we really have to offend the Saint before even joining the sect?
That's not worth it.
Everyone was speechless.
Seeing that, Xiu Xiu suddenly whispered: "Senior brother, that's strange"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan also asked in a whisper.
"You said it so shamelessly, but why do I feel like you're so handsome?"
Lee Chang An cleared his throat and said: "Bai Hua Saint ordered us to fight like that?"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Lee Chang An silently cursed, but couldn't say anything else. The only thing he can do right now is to let him go.
— — -are we really going to let him go?
This is the best chance to slap his face in front of everyone.
Seeing how he's refusing to go up no matter what, he's probably not confident enough to lose to his opponent.
But since the other side even brought up the Saint, he can't do anything but let him go.
Lee Chang An sneaked a glance at Ning Yuechan, only to see her softly looking at Gu Qing Shan, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted, showing a helpless smile.
He silently clenched his teeth, feeling even more unwilling.
"So you really don't want to go up?" Lee Chang An looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at Xiu Xiu, then gently spoke: "You even brought a child, the Saint ordered you to do so because she's afraid you'll lose the child. Ah right, why does Bai Hua sect have a child, whose child is it?"
These words were said very casually, as if there's nothing wrong with it.
But if you think about it for a bit, you'll find that what he's saying is too dirty, too dirty.
There aren't many people in Bai Hua sect, so asking whose child is it will lead to countless guesses.
"Lee Chang An, what are you talking about!" Ning Yuechan angrily shouted.
"I'm only asking about this child's background, I want to know which sect her parents are from, what's wrong with that?" Lee Chang An quickly changed the topic back.
He's already made it clear that he doesn't have any ill intentions, he's only asking about their background — — - asking about their background is a very normal thing, how many cultivators get asked about their background when they enter the sect?
But what he said before has already entered everyone's mind, everyone will think about it, the matter will slowly ferment, the rumors will slowly spread far and wide.
Xiu Xiu didn't say anything.
Her father is already gone.
She also had to go through a lot of hardship to slowly recover.
These words are so vicious that they've pierced her heart.
Gu Qing Shan's mouth became a thin line.
He put Xiu Xiu down, seeing that the little girl's eyes were already red, teardrops flowing down her cheeks, stopping at her chin.
Gu Qing Shan felt pain in his heart, but still smiled and said: "Xiu Xiu, listen to senior brother!"
"Hm"
"Senior brother is too relaxed this time"
"Hm"
"Now that senior brother knows he was wrong, I apologize to you, senior brother will immediately fix it"
"Hm?"
The little girl wiped her tears, appearing a bit surprised.
Only to see Gu Qing Shan carrying her, quickly walking next to Ning Yuechan.
"Help me look after Xiu Xiu"
As soon as he said so, he didn't wait for Ning Yuechan to say anything and flew up to the square platform.
The Earth Sword appeared from the void of space, held in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Holding the sword, he swept it across the top 20 cultivators of the semester examination, saying: "If you're so unconvinced, then come up here, I'll beat you into submission"
"And you"
He looked at Lee Chang An: "You think the way you talk is very smart, don't you?"
Intense killing intent exuded from Gu Qing Shan, but his voice was still as calm as water.
