Marcela nodded in response. “Don’t worry, I didn’t have much back there. It would be a lie if I said I won’t miss it. But, who knows? I might have the chance to go back there in the future. After all, it’s not like we will leave our continent.”
Rean was taken aback after that. “Of course, we’ll leave this continent. Not only will we leave this continent, but we’re also probably heading to the center of the Realm of Gods at some point. I wasn’t lying when I said you might never come back. If we were only traveling in Xinfia, then I wouldn’t have said such a thing since you could go back to Brin by simply spending a few Divine Stones.”
Naturally, Marcela could not believe such claims. “B-But… what about the continental barrier?”
Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “It’s definitely a problem for other people. However, it’s simply useless for our sect. We can pass through any continental barrier we wish to.”
Marcela wasn’t the only one to hear that. Everyone who knew about the continental barrier was shocked to discover such a thing.
Seeing that, Roan snorted, saying, “Hmph! We’re still in Brin, and the contract doesn’t lock you down at all. If any of you want to, I’ll send them straight outside.”
However, Rean’s words about the continental barrier only excited those who knew about it. Everyone here was sure they would die in Xinfia Continent. How great was it to know that they could visit other places? How many wonders were out there to be explored?
Marcela was one of them. “That’s great! I’m looking forward to seeing the outside of our Xinfia Continent.”
Rean smiled in response. “That I can promise.”
There was one more guy Rean noticed taking the position of elder. “Hey, Hage. So you actually took the test as well.”
Hage immediately nodded with a grin. “But of course! Don’t forget I don’t have much longer to live if I don’t break through into the Nascent Soul Realm. Since I’m one of the oldest Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators here, I definitely have a lot more experience in battles. I wasn’t first in the judgment test, but I still made it into the top ten. The only part I performed average on was cultivation speed, but the other two scores made up for it so that I got the necessary points.”
Hage got 73 points on the Judgment Test and 81 on the Strength Test. On the cultivation side, he did 45, but as he mentioned, the other two scores made up for the average result in that part. “Hehe! I’m still not so down that I would lose to a bunch of youngsters.”
”Bunch of youngsters, huh?” Rean found that funny. Pretty much everyone in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm was above 100 years old. Then again, compared to Hage, they might really be considered brats in the same realm.
Hage continued, “However, don’t worry. Not only will I take my place as an elder, but I will also keep taking care of the kids. I got quite attached to those brats, so I’ll make sure to use some of my time with them.”
Rean shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry. You can be assigned to the general well-being of all kids, which is a valuable elder position for our sect. Sister Orb told me you were doing a great job with them so far, so you can naturally keep at it.”
Eliana felt a little jealous when she heard that. “I wish I had time to play with them as I did in the past. Well, I can’t complain about being able to build the best sect ever.”
Rean shrugged his shoulders, telling her, “No one’s stopping you from taking a break every now and then. Don’t forget what caused your cultivation to stagnate. If that happens again, it won’t be my fault since I’m not forcing you at all.” Back then, it was overworking that was the reason why Eliana had problems with cultivation in the past.
Eliana was taken aback for a moment. “Indeed… only now did I notice that I’m committing the same mistake again. Alright, I’ll make sure to take some pauses from now on.”
Rean nodded. “I’ll make sure to remind you about that.”
Sister Orb then finished distributing the jobs through the Sect Badges. Soon after, she called out the next disciples. [Everyone in the Nascent Soul Realm will take the test now. First, the Initial Stage members.]
Roan also added, “For those at the Nascent Soul Realm, we have ten elder positions. Naturally, they also have a higher payment than normal disciples and a slightly higher payment than Core and Soul Fusion Realm elders. Try your best.”
Once again, strength, cultivation, and judgment were measured. The good thing about Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was that most of them were 300 years old or higher. There was no lack of life experiences, so more than fifty of those people got more than 70 points in judgment.
Of course, there was no problem choosing who would take the ten elder positions. Those with the highest overall score had the first pick.
Out of them, three had caught the twins’ attention.
The first one was Hurian Saby. He was a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Roan put him in the same category as Fosxin, someone very cunning. Obviously, Roan was happy to have someone like that.
The second one was Jessica Tute. She obtained the highest score in judgment, and Roan knew that she was quite adventurous. She was a similar case to Marcela, someone who had built her foundation in the city and didn’t really have a need to leave. In her case, she had one wish. “If you can really bring me to other continents, then I will join even the devil’s sect.” And so she joined. She was also one of the few that knew from the start that the twins could pass through the continental barrier.
As for the last one, that person was the most interesting of all so far, Leonardo Abril.
