Under the dominance of the Bright King Road, the various powers of the Southern Border had become abnormally orderly. However, for some reason, the four divisions of the Bright King Road had started to withdraw their power.
The elite Foundation Establishment disciples who were originally working in various places had all received a message from their masters. All of them immediately put down their work and rushed back to their sects as quickly as possible.
The cultivators from the sects and rogue cultivators who were on the lookout began to appear one by one and tried their best to gather information from the headquarters of the Bright King Road.
Not long after, a rumor about the return of the Bright King Road's Holy Son spread among the cultivators of the Southern Border. This time, they were even more powerless to resist.
It was said that the Bright King Road's Holy Son had appeared once in the sky above the Bright King Road's headquarters. Nearly a hundred disciples had witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
At this time, the four divisions were also fighting fiercely for these slots. The most peaceful one was the Brahma Mantra Division. They were originally the Holy Son's direct subordinates. It was said that the Holy Son's relationship with the Holy Son was not shallow.
They had received a private message early in the morning to select the most outstanding disciples and send them over.
Moreover, this time, Grand Elder Wen Xin had deliberately taken care to allocate eight of the twenty slots to the Brahma Mantra Division. As for the other three divisions, the remaining twelve slots were equally divided. This way, they were giving Yi Tian enough face.
The Heaven of Bliss Division was also allocated four slots this time. The Goddess of Bliss, Le Tongxuan, had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was officially in charge of the Heaven of Bliss Division. When she received Grand Elder Wen Xin's message, she was stunned by the contents.
She did not expect that not only had Yi Tian returned, but he had also advanced to the late stage of the Yuanying Realm. This time, female disciples were even arranged to participate in the selection ceremony for the successor of the Holy Son. This meant that if she, a disciple of the Heaven of Bliss Division, had the opportunity to be chosen by the Holy Son, she would also have a chance to be chosen.
This time, not only was Le Tongxuan shocked by Yi Tian's generosity, but she also secretly made up her mind to compete with the other three divisions. If they missed this opportunity, they wouldn't be able to find it again. There was only one chance, and no one wanted to give it up. Soon after, she hurriedly summoned the elite Foundation Establishment disciples back to the sect, wanting to give them some pointers. Presumably, the leaders of the other three divisions would more or less do something similar.
After a year of preparation, the elites selected from the four divisions gathered outside the Bright King Hall, the new headquarters of the Bright King Road. This was a large hall that had been rebuilt not far from Qin Mingyue's forbidden area.
More than three hundred years ago, when Yi Tian went to the South Sea, the ground had just been dug and it took thirty years to complete. After that, Great Elder Wen Xin had been standing guard on his behalf until Yi Tian came back this time.
In order to select a successor, Yi Tian had spent some time and effort to divide the Asura Transformation Technique into three parts. After that, he set up a grand formation in the Saint's Forbidden Area. The formation patterns were made up of many famous trapping and illusory formations in the Upper Spiritual Realm.
The nested array formation was divided into three layers. After breaking through each layer, there would be a corresponding reward. As for the three cultivation techniques, they were placed separately. Every time he broke through a layer, he would be able to gradually obtain a part of it. However, if he wanted to obtain the final Asura Transformation Technique, he had to break through all the layers of this formation.
This formation had a great suppressive effect on cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage. Furthermore, the stronger the cultivation, the stronger the backlash. If one did not have a special formation pattern token, they would not be able to escape from it.
Even a top Yuanying cultivator like Great Elder Wen Xin would not be able to break through the first layer easily. As for the last two layers, they relied on the support of the Bright King Saint's Forbidden Area's Spirit Veins to operate slowly. Unless the Spirit Veins were exhausted, the formation could not be maintained. If one wanted to use external forces to break through it, they would have to gather a formation like the four Demon Kings to break through it.
In addition, Yi Tian was also careful. In order to prevent the Asura Transformation Technique from being leaked, he deliberately placed the stone tablets with the secret technique at the eye of the formation when he set up the formation. Once the formation was forcefully broken, these stone steles would automatically burst apart, leaving no clues behind.
As the only formation talisman that could freely enter and exit the formation, he made a total of twenty of them. Every disciple who was qualified to enter had to take one and carry it with them.
If one was trapped or wanted to give up, they only needed to activate the formation talisman in their hand to escape.
It was early in the morning. When the first ray of sunlight from the eastern horizon shone on the square in front of the Ming Wang Road Hall, the twenty candidate disciples waiting there all stood respectfully and entered through the main door in an orderly manner.
At this time, all the Yuanying cultivators of the Bright King Path had arrived. Apart from the Heavenly Brahma Mantra Division, there was still one other Yuanying cultivator in each division. Although their strength was not as strong as three hundred years ago, the trust between them had increased by quite a bit.
The sect master of the Heavenly Paradise Plains had melted a hundred years ago. Now, Le Tongxuan was the only one holding the fort. The Heavenly Emperor Division only had Zhuge Wufeng left, and the Heavenly Utility Division was still overseen by Great Elder Wen Xin.
The three of them were currently sitting in the main hall, but the seat in the middle was empty. The seat that originally belonged to the Bright King Saint was still empty.
At the very least, this was what the twenty candidates saw.
After a while, Great Elder Wen Xin opened his mouth and said, "Candidates, come forward and pay your respects. After the ceremony, you can take a formation talisman jade tablet."
Soon after, the twenty Foundation Establishment disciples came forward one after another. Under Grand Elder Wen Xin's voice transmission, they bowed respectfully to the people sitting at the top.
But strangely, they had to first kowtow to the empty seat of the Saint. However, with Great Elder Wen Xin's words ringing in their ears, these disciples did not dare to have any thoughts of disobeying.
Suddenly, a woman in her twenties stared at the seat in the middle for a while. She did not kneel like the others, but slowly walked forward and said, "Disciple Le Qin of the Heavenly Paradise Division greets the Saint. May the Saint enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens."
This sudden sentence caused the surrounding disciples to be dumbfounded. Everyone turned to look at the empty seat. However, Le Qin's expression was serious, and it did not seem like she was faking it.
The three Yuanying cultivators present had different expressions on their faces, especially Le Tong Xuan, who revealed a proud look. They had received a message early in the morning and knew that Yi Tian had returned. However, they had been busy with the selection and did not have time to meet him. They thought that they would meet during the ceremony, but they did not expect that their wish would not come true.
However, Great Elder Wen Xin said calmly, "The Saint will remember your contributions to the Holy Church. You don't have to worry about your gains and losses."
Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air above the seat, and then a blurry figure gradually materialized from nothingness. When the silhouette of the figure became clear, everyone saw that Yi Tian, who had three heads and six arms, was sitting on the seat with his legs crossed.
Yi Tian stared at Le Qin and suddenly realized, "You must have been born with a pair of Eyes of Truth. There are indeed outstanding people among the elites of the Holy Church. I will remember you. I hope you will gain something from the test of breaking the formation. If you fail, no matter how bad it is, I can still appoint you as the next Heavenly Goddess of Paradise. "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Those disciples who had come along with them all looked at Le Qin with a trace of jealousy in their eyes.
