A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"Since no one has raised any objections, it means that everyone agrees with my statement."

"In that case, the remaining thirteen spots for the Spirit Spring will be contested by all the younger generation."

"There are seventeen king-level forces present. To save everyone's time, there is no need to have all the younger generation compete."

“Each faction selects two of its strongest juniors to spar with juniors from other factions, and ultimately thirteen will be selected to enter the Spirit Spring.”

"Does anyone have any objections to this decision?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. No one questioned Fang Lei's words; they all acquiesced.

Selecting two young disciples from each sect, and choosing thirteen out of thirty-four, is indeed a reasonable method.

No one dared to question Fang Lei's words, for if they displeased him, they might even lose their initial spot at the Spirit Spring.

After all, it's all up to Fang Lei to decide who gets to enter the Spirit Spring and who doesn't.

Fang Lei nodded silently, "The various factions can begin selecting their two strongest disciples."

"Whether or not we can enter the Spirit Spring this time is, to some extent, still in your hands."

All nine core disciples from the Xuan Yun Holy Land have come, and choosing two from among them is, frankly, very simple.

One of them, of course, was of no significance whatsoever: Gu Jun, the chief disciple of Xuan Yun Dao Ren and the contemporary holy son of Xuan Yun Holy Land.

With his cultivation at the second level of the Spirit Mansion realm, he became the reason why everyone chose him directly.

Apart from Chen Yue, the other core disciples were generally at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm or had just broken through to the Spirit Mansion Realm.

Even though Gu Jun's cultivation level was only at the second level of the Spirit Mansion realm, he wielded the Earth-rank Qinghong Sword and cultivated the Earth-rank Xuanyun Sword Technique.

His true strength is no less than that of the mid-stage Spirit Mansion realm. Among the younger generation in the Xuan Yun Holy Land, Gu Jun is indeed the one who leads everyone.

This is also why he was able to become the Holy Son of Xuanyun; he possessed talent and had a good master.

Xuan Yun Daoist immediately designated, "Jun'er, you will fight for it. No objections?"

Gu Jun looked at the many elders in the holy land, and then at his fellow disciples who were also core disciples.

Seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he answered confidently, "Master, your disciple has no objection!"

"We must secure another spot for the Xuan Yun Holy Land to enter the Spirit Spring."

Master Xuanyun patted Gu Jun on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Just do your best. The strength of the younger generation of other forces should not be underestimated. With your cultivation at the second level of the Spirit Mansion Realm, you won't gain any advantage."

"If you can't beat them, admit defeat early to avoid hurting yourself."

Gu Jun immediately nodded, understanding his master's meaning.

The main reason why Xuanyun Holy Land has just returned to the King-level power is that Xuanyun Daoist broke through to the King Realm.

Their strength has not increased at all; it remains the same as before.

Compared to other established king-level forces, Xuan Yun Holy Land doesn't gain any advantage from the perspective of the younger generation.

Gu Jun's cultivation level would absolutely not be enough to qualify him for the position of Holy Son in any king-level power.

Therefore, Gu Jun's chances of winning a spot in this competition for the Spirit Spring are very slim.

The first spot for the Xuan Yun Holy Land was quickly decided, but the second spot was the most important.

In fact, Xuan Yun Dao Ren already had a clear answer in his heart.

Chen Yue's cultivation at the seventh level of the Spirit Mansion realm is even more formidable than Gu Jun's. With his strength, he might actually be able to snatch a spot at the Spirit Spring.

However, Chen Yue had only recently joined the Xuan Yun Holy Land, and since the people did not know him well, they could not immediately acknowledge his strength.

Xuan Yun Daoist tentatively said, "I have already made my choice for the second person, and that is Chen Yue."

As expected, when Xuan Yun Dao Ren uttered these words, it aroused doubts from the elders and other core disciples.

They knew nothing about Chen Yue, and moreover, when he was recruiting disciples, none of the core disciples other than Gu Jun were even present.

They were unaware of Chen Yue's seventh-level Spirit Mansion strength, having only heard that another core disciple had been added.

Therefore, everyone guessed that Chen Yue's cultivation level had probably reached the seventh level of the Condensation Source Realm, and no one would have imagined that he was a Spirit Mansion Realm cultivator.

As for the other elders, when they were recruiting disciples, most of their energy was focused on arranging new disciples, and they seemed to have some impression of this child named Chen Yue.

The source stone seemed to display a cultivation level of the seventh level of the Spirit Mansion, but it was too bizarre, and it was uncertain whether it was real.

Xuan Yun Daoist did not offer any explanation for this. The elders were more inclined to believe the other core disciples than this core disciple whom they had only met once.

However, a few people were more inclined to support Chen Yue, namely Sun Rui and Wu Yonghuai. Since the Holy Lord directly designated Chen Yue as the second candidate, the two of them would definitely agree wholeheartedly.

Another person was Elder Xu from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Ever since he saw those two sheets filled with densely packed alchemy materials, he was convinced that this child was definitely not an ordinary person.

Although he didn't know Chen Yue's cultivation level, he still supported him in his heart.

Several core disciples spoke up, expressing their opinions.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for not trusting this newly joined core disciple. This spiritual spring is very important to me, so I hope to have this opportunity.”

“That’s right, Holy Lord. Although my cultivation is not as high as that of the Holy Son, I have still broken through to the first level of the Spirit Mansion. I will do my best to fight and try to grab a spot.”

"I know I have no hope of being selected. Rather than trusting this junior brother Chen Yue, I'd rather trust the other senior brothers."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, if you choose again, I will definitely agree as long as it is chosen from among us."

Chen Yue listened to these words without showing any dissatisfaction, as he had not been a member of the Xuan Yun Holy Land for very long.

He spent most of his time traveling to various places to collect materials needed for alchemy, which he used to treat Xuan Yun Dao Ren's old injuries.

That's why Xuan Yun Daoist was able to break through to the King Realm, and that's why all of them had the opportunity to stand in this Great Yuan Dynasty of the Eastern Region.

No one knew what Chen Yue had done. They could never have imagined that Chen Yue played such an important role in Xuan Yun Dao Ren's breakthrough to the King Realm.

During his brief stay in the Holy Land, he had no contact with anyone, so it was perfectly normal for him to be questioned.

He did not choose to speak up to prove himself, but simply waited quietly for Xuan Yun Dao Ren's choice.

At this moment, in this place, the choice made by Daoist Xuanyun, as the Holy Lord of Xuanyun Holy Land, is crucial.

Xuan Yun Daoist's thoughts did not change because of the few words of these core disciples; his second choice was Chen Yue from beginning to end.

The best way to shut everyone up is for Chen Yue to prove that he has enough ability to become the second candidate.

Xuan Yun Daoist said to Chen Yue, "Since everyone opposes my choice, why don't you prove yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue replied righteously, "Your Majesty, I understand."
