Di Nian's face stiffened slightly: "..."
Di Nian's mood went through great ups and downs in a short period of time, from sadness and self-blame at the beginning to complexity and relief.
As long as Zheng Zheng is fine, it doesn’t matter if he is embarrassed or ashamed.
He quickly put away the spiral knife, then lowered his eyes to see the lonely flower on the ground. His eyes flickered, and then he pretended to be calm and reached out to pick up the flower, then put it on his waist as if nothing had happened.
Everyone: “!” The danger is over!
Di Nian first looked at Qingfeng warily, then took out the communication crystal from the storage space and began to listen to the message from his niece.
"Uncle, don't worry, we're fine. We just suffered some minor injuries. However, we were teleported to an unknown place. It's a bit strange here because there are many human cultivators here."
"It's like they're waiting for something to happen."
"Oh, right, I also heard some of the things they said, like 'Entrance Examination', 'Shen Ye Trial', 'Shen Ye Sect'..."
When Di Nian heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
This point in time is the time for the Shen Ye Dynasty to take the entrance examination to the continent and the Shen Ye Sect to recruit new disciples.
In addition to the territories of the eight clans, the Holy Ruins also has the Shen Ye Dynasty, which can be divided into one continent and thirteen prefectures.
Among them, the Thirteen Prefectures are places where all ethnic groups can go.
One of the continents in the Holy Ruins is Xuzhou. No one is allowed to enter without a certain identity. The annual Tianling Conference is held in Xuzhou.
Therefore, if you want to participate in the Tianling Conference, the first prerequisite is to enter Xuzhou.
According to his guess, Zheng Zheng and Xing Lan should have been teleported to the human territory, and it should be the human territory for the entrance examination to the continent or the Shen Ye Sect's recruitment of disciples.
Di Nian communicated with Yun Zheng and explained to her about the assessment for entering the continent and the Shen Ye Sect.
When it was mentioned that in order to participate in the Tianling Conference, one must enter Xuzhou, Di Nian could clearly feel the change in his niece's mood.
Di Nian frowned and said, "Zheng Zheng, go to the Sixth Mansion and wait for your uncle first."
The niece replied with a smile: "Uncle, I won't go to the Sixth Mansion for now. Lan and I have to take the continent entrance examination."
"You two little rookies are going to take the continent entrance examination. Stop making trouble and go to the Sixth Mansion to wait for your uncle. Otherwise, stay in the human territory and wait for your uncle to pick you up." Di Nian said helplessly.
"Be obedient, Zheng Zheng."
Di Nian's tone softened, as if he was coaxing a child.
Di Nian held the communication crystal stone, but he still hadn't received a reply from his niece. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were filled with unknown emotions.
The next moment, the communication crystal lit up, and Di Nian heard the voice of his niece:
"Uncle, don't worry too much about me. I'm really not a child anymore. I went from Dongzhou to Zhonglingzhou, and then from Zhonglingzhou to Shengxu. This journey has not brought me recklessness, but rather growth experience."
"Uncle, I want to go my own way."
Di Nian pondered for a moment, then sighed. Yun smiled and replied, "Then just go for a walk."
After he finished speaking, he looked up in front of him and was slightly shocked to find that the young man in blue had disappeared silently.
"Who is that man in green?" Di Nian asked Yun Zheng directly with deep doubt.
Yun Zheng quickly replied, "Uncle, I'll tell you more about his identity after we meet. Anyway, uncle, I'm fine now. You should take care of yourself too!"
Di Nian: “…” Let’s talk about it when we meet?
He had just taken back the communication crystal when he saw a lot of undead guards coming in front of him, several hundred in total, all of whom were Xiao Jingxi's men.
This time he came probably to kill him and avenge Xiao Jingxi!
As expected, the leading undead shouted in a deep voice: "Kill him!"
Di Nian slowly stood up, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring at them with a smile.
"Are you all here to die? That's good."
…
On the other side, the human territory
Amber City, outside the city
There are two teams queuing up. The plaque on the left is for registration for the entrance examination to the continent, and the one on the right is for registration for recruiting new disciples for the Shen Ye Sect.
Young practitioners usually line up in the team on the right. Their goal is to become disciples of the Shen Ye Sect in Xuzhou.
The team on the left includes practitioners of all ages.
Yun Zheng and Feng Xinglan were teleported to the outside of Hucheng. They both had minor injuries. They looked ahead and then looked at each other.
Feng Xinglan: "Where are we going?"
Yun Zheng said without looking away, "I think we should learn more about this first."
At this time, a young cultivator passed by them and went straight to the team on the right, heading towards the Shen Ye Sect.
Yun Zheng turned her head and gave Feng Xinglan a look, and then the two of them followed and lined up behind the young cultivator.
She lined up behind that person and asked casually, "Sir, we're from somewhere else and would like to ask about the Shen Ye Sect's recruitment process for new disciples. How exactly is it?"
Hearing this, the young cultivator turned around and looked at her. His heart suddenly beat faster. What a beautiful girl.
His face flushed, "This... ahem! Shen Ye Sect recruits new disciples in thirteen prefectures every year. We need to register now, and then go to the thirteenth prefecture for assessment."
"If you pass the assessment in the thirteenth prefecture, you will enter the seventh prefecture. The next time, you will have to go to the first prefecture for the assessment."
That is to say, you have to go through three places, first the 13th prefecture, then the 7th prefecture, and finally the 1st prefecture. There are three assessments in total.
Young cultivator: "This rule is followed by all eight races. So no matter how strong or talented you are, you will have to go through layers of screening."
Yun Zheng raised her eyes and asked, "How long will this journey take in total?"
"About three months." The young cultivator paused for a moment before continuing, "Today is the third to last day for registration. If you want to sign up, you'd better do it sooner rather than later."
Yun Zheng: "What if it's the continent entrance examination?"
The young cultivator laughed. "That's the same thing, because the continent entrance examination is also managed by the Shen Ye Sect. Moreover, the Shen Ye Sect is the only force in the Holy Ruins that can connect with the higher-ups."
Above? Is it the advanced continent?
From the young cultivator's words, Yun Zheng roughly understood some things about the Holy Ruins.
In the Holy Ruins, only races that have obtained identity passes can travel freely in the Ruins.
If there is one entity that holds the highest power in the Shen Ye Dynasty, it is the Shen Ye Sect.
After Yun Zheng thanked the young cultivator, she turned to look at Feng Xinglan and analyzed seriously, "Although the eight of us have already agreed to meet at the Tianling Conference..."
"However, with our current strength and cultivation, I'm afraid we won't be qualified to participate in next year's Tianling Conference. So why don't we join the Shen Ye Sect and train for another year or two?"
"Okay." Feng Xinglan nodded in agreement.
