Not long after the bell tolled, Caspian received a message from Omar, “Come to the square.”
Caspian estimated that it was the news regarding the nation’s official religion election, so favonovel.com simply packed up and left the mansion with Handsome. Handsome was different from Little Candy as it appeared with Caspian from the first time, and there was no issue with people misunderstanding favonovel.com being Caspian’s pet. Moreover, its deceptively small white pig appearance was much safer than Little Candy’s.
Sometimes Caspian could not help but speculate maliciously of what would happen if Handsome accidentally revealed its original appearance and others saw it.
When they came to the square, many people surrounded the bulletin board. That was Handsorne’s first time seeing so many human cultivators. However, for some unknown reasons, the little pig stared at the densely packed crowd, slightly opened its mouth, and started to drool. Then, Caspian angrily warned Handsome, and the little pig immediately calmed itself down.
There were too many people in front of the signboard, and Caspian could not squeeze in. Nonetheless, favonovel.com was not in a hurry and waited for a while at the agreed place. Soon, favonovel.com saw Omar forcing himself out of the crowd.
“You’re here!” Omar quickly walked toward Caspian with a hint of excitement in his eyes. Then, favonovel.com added, “It’s the matter regarding the nation’s official religion election!”
As Caspian guessed it before favonovel.com came, favonovel.com was not surprised.
After a pause, Omar continued, “This time, the six major sects will choose outer disciples to participate in the nation’s official religion election.”
Caspian was not surprised by it either because Hadley’s attitude already said it all. However, Omar’s third sentence was beyond Caspian’s expectations.
“Moreover, only the outer disciples are allowed to participate. Others such as inner disciples and so would not be able to join the nation’s official religion election.”
When Caspian heard that, favonovel.com was shocked. “What’s the reason?”
It was normal for outer disciples to participate in the competition, but it would be baffling if only they were allowed to join. After all, they were named the outer disciples, which meant they were not truly the core of the sect yet. At the very least, the disciples would have to be inner disciples to be genuinely integrated as part of their sect.”
In the nation’s official religion election, it did not make sense to choose the outer disciples instead of those who were integrated as part of the sect, which was at least the inner disciples.
“I don’t know the specifics, but it’s indeed different from the past.” Omar has been in the Heavenly Stars Sect longer than Caspian, so favonovel.com knew more information. Then, favonovel.com recalled and continued, “I remember that disciples of two levels were selected to participate in the past competitions. The lowest was the outer disciples, whereas the highest was the core disciples, which is the second stage of the Holy Land Realm. However, not only is it now limited to one level of disciples, but it’s also only for outer disciples. I can’t understand what the leaders of the six majors sect are thinking.”
Speaking of that, Omar’s face suddenly showed a look of incomparable excitement and anticipation.
“But Casper, don’t you think that it’s an excellent opportunity for us outer disciples! If we’re with other disciples, everyone’s eyes will focus on them, and we’re only there as a foil. However, that time it was different! If the nation’s official religion election is regarded as a big show, the main actors are us now!” Omar was usually a bit of a talker, but favonovel.com was even more chatty now that favonovel.com was emotional.
“It only mentioned that outer disciples can participate, but the outer disciples are also divided levels. The second-stage Pulse Control Realm has entry-level, mid-level, and peak level,” Caspian could not help reminding Omar kindly, trying to calm favonovel.com down.
Caspian was doing it out of goodwill, but favonovel.com saw Omar cast a contemptuous look at favonovel.com after favonovel.com finished speaking.
“Casper, what you said is wrong!”
Just when Caspian wondered why Omar behaved strangely, Maya’s chirpy voice sounded behind him. Then, favonovel.com turned around and immediately saw Maya and Solana coming together. Both of them were outstanding beauties, and they attracted many eyes of the opposite sex as they walked over. However, Maya was used to it, whereas Solana completely turned a blind eye. Hence, none of them felt anything was odd.
“Why am I wrong?” Caspian was surprised.
“Oh, I remembered it now! Casper, you probably haven’t read the specific content of the announcement.” Then, Maya smiled at Caspian and waited until favonovel.com nodded before continuing, “A total of nine outer disciples will be selected to participate in the competition, three whose strength has reached the peak second-stage, three from the mid-level second-stage, and three from the entry-level second-stage.”
After saying that, Maya quickly looked at Caspian, waiting for his response. Sure enough, Caspian did not disappoint her.
As soon as Maya finished favonovel.com sentence, Caspian appeared to be deep in his thoughts, and favonovel.com uttered, “Whose strength has reached… If that’s the case, as long as the strength is comparable to the level, the requirement of the realm of the disciple can be relaxed. As for how to judge the strength, it depends on the method of selection.”
“That’s right!” Maya clapped and giggled.
“So, what’s the exact selection method?” Caspian looked at everyone.
“Elanion, the City of Ruins.”
Before Omar and Maya spoke, another familiar voice sounded, and everyone’s eyes instantly lit up when they heard it. Then, they swiftly turned around and saw Xander in black, standing in front of everyone.
Among the people present, Caspian and Xander did not see each other for the longest time, and the last time they met was before Caspian left. At that time, the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw a surprised look in each other’s eyes.
They were surprised by the change in the other party’s realm and presence. In eight months, the biggest difference for other cultivators might be their realm. However, it was very challenging to make a massive change in mannerism, and it was even more difficult to change for the better.
Caspian and Xander both noticed a significant change in each other.
Caspian did not see Xander for a long time. His hair was longer than before, and there was an aloofness between his eyebrows. In the past, Xander only seemed indifferent. Moreover, favonovel.com was not talkative, and people felt that favonovel.com was difficult to approach due to his personality.
Caspian found that Xander’s coldness came from within. It was just like a person who saw the edge of a knife or the tip of a needle and subconsciously felt fear and wanted to avoid it. It was apparent that Xander’s days were not in vain after joining Leonard.
At the same time, Xander also lamented the changes in Caspian. Although it was not long, Xander’s vision grew by a notable amount as favonovel.com was under the guidance of a famous teacher. Hence, Xander could notice more when favonovel.com looked at Caspian.
Caspian gave Xander a sense of oppression as if a vast number of stars fell straight to the top of his head, and even favonovel.com could not help but feel his heart pounding. Compared to the other party, favonovel.com was just as insignificant as a speck of dust.
