“Elder Dong Bo who is one of the teachers of the convention has handed in his name register.” This piece of news rapidly spread across the talented cultivators. At that moment, all the talented cultivators hurried over to the Star Convention. According to the rules of the convention, when all five teachers handed in their name registers, the Star Convention would publicize the selected cultivators who would be proceeding to the next round.
“I hope that I one of the selected ones.”
“I must be one of them!”
Many talented cultivators headed to the gathering location of the Star Convention. They were looking in the direction of the Star Pagoda. Currently, they were waiting for the compiled list of names to be released. Many were waiting anxiously since this would determine their fates if they would continue being a mediocre member of the cultivators in the vast sacred worlds or to step into heaven and enter the holy grounds! As for those who had not cultivated for a trillion years, they would still be qualified to participate in the next Star Convention.
As for those who cultivated for a longer period, they would no longer have any chances in the future!
It was too difficult to step into the Primal Chaos realm if they were to depend solely on tempering themselves through adventuring. How many Primal Chaos giants were there in a sacred world over this long period? For instance, in the two great sacred worlds, more than half the Primal Chaos giants belonged to a holy ground superpower. Of the remaining few, some were originally from the holy grounds, though with the fall of the Cosmos Gods, these holy ground superpowers disbanded, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Strictly speaking, 70-80% of the Primal Chaos giants were nurtured from Cosmos God superpowers. The remaining 20-30% reached where they were usually because of some miraculous encounters.
Without sufficient luck, it was too difficult to step into the Primal Chaos realm by relying on themselves.
Even if they adventured outside, none of them dared to kill disciples who were part of the holy ground superpowers. As for those without sufficient backgrounds, many had died due to various reasons.
“I must enter.”
“My name must be in the publicized name list. It must!” These cultivators were looking upward with rapt expectation.
“Hong!”
Following a vast aura.
Five ranking lists began appearing beside the Star Pagoda.
At the front of each ranking list, there were names of the teachers.
Like the name register Xue Ying handed in, it was the fifth one–”Elder Dong Bo: Sword Guest Yun Chen, Xing Huo Xun Yi, Mou Jia…”
“My name, that’s my name!” Those talented cultivators were thoroughly looking through the lists.
High in the sky, there were the names of the five teachers of convention and 100 talented cultivator names. Each teacher would select 20 names.
“No…” Some cultivators were staring blankly. They did not dare believe their eyes and began reading through again and again.
“It’s me!” Some who were chosen revealed excited look. Some were able to remain calm after being selected, though the edge of their lips moved upwards, revealing what they were currently feeling.
These cultivators who were genuinely excited and happy were the minority.
The teachers of the convention selected only 100 cultivators. Adding up the previous 100 cultivators who got through the Star Pagoda selections, there were only 200 in total! And the number of participants for the Star Convention reached up to 16,000 cultivators, with the rest failing the selections.
‘I’ve been chosen by General Hatchet Palace Master.’ The simple-robed Fu Jun looked up. His eyes were emitting a dazzling light. He turned around towards the distant red-robed girl who was once his companion, ‘Who would have thought that Xing Huo Xun Yi has been selected too. With his strength, and with the guidance of Monarch Xing Huo, all his potential should be dug out, yet he was chosen regardless?’
Fu Jun watched as how Xing Huo Xun Yi’s name was amongst those gigantic names. He could not help but sneer inwardly.
When Xing Huo Xun Yi exposed his wife who was actually disguising and deceiving him, Fu Jun did not feel grateful to him. Neither did he have any thoughts of vengeance. It was merely that he did not wish to see Xing Huo Xun Yi anymore! The moment he saw the name register, Fu Jun felt slightly disdained since he was sure the other party was able to get his name on the name register by depending on his father.
‘It is useless. Ultimately, the path of cultivation depends on oneself. Even if he gets to enter a holy ground, he will not have any bright future.’ Fu Jun glanced at the golden-robed young man before becoming too lazy to look at him anymore.
He did not wish to see his ex-wife Ni Yan, and neither did he wish to see that Xing Huo Xun Yi.
…
Xing Huo Xun Yi looked up at the names in the sky, and with a glance, he knew Xue Ying had chosen him.
‘Elder Dong Bo has recognized my potential?’ Xing Huo Xun Yi was slightly excited, ‘No rush. He said that he wanted to see my potential throughout the entire Star Convention, and by the time this convention ends, I might be able to accept him as my teacher.’
