Looking at the junior brother who had walked far away and the other fellow disciples who were gradually increasing in number on the road ahead, Gu Tianqing thought with some distress.
If he were to continue walking, he didn’t know how many people would kindly inquire about him.
If he really wanted to change his biological clock on a whim, then he would even take the initiative to show off to the other fellow disciples.
But the problem was that he did not want to!
If the other disciples found out that it would be because the previous night’s events were too tragic that he ended up like this, he would feel too uncomfortable.
Thus, he woke up early the next day just to ease the fear in his heart. Gu Tianqing felt that he did not need to mingle in Gu Immortal Sect anymore.
At nine o’clock in the morning, Gu Immortal Sect’s disciples gathered once again in the competition venue, in the room for the Gu Immortal Sect.
Fang Yuan looked at all his fellow disciples who had come on behalf of Gu Immortal Sect and said, “Everyone, calm down, we have already reached this level, all the opponents are very strong, I will not give you any more pressure. As long as you perform normally, it will be enough, everyone should go as far as they can in this competition.”
“Yes! Senior, we will do our best!” All the other Gu Immortal Sect members said at the same time.
Even though Fang Yuan was consoling them, as members of Gu Immortal Sect, who would not wish for their Gu Immortal Sect to advance further and shine in such a competition within the entire Yan Shen Empire?
And who would not wish for their Gu Immortal Sect to defeat even more middle-ranked people in such a huge Gu Dao competition held by the Yan Shen Empire, allowing their Gu Immortal Sect to rank higher?
Even though Fang Yuan and the Gu Immortal Sect had never mentioned what rewards they would receive after obtaining a certain ranking, everyone was very confident that the Gu Immortal Sect would deal with the result fairly.
No matter what competition the Yan Shen Empire had organized before, no matter who represented the Gu Immortal Sect, and no matter what results they obtained in the end, even though the Gu Immortal Sect had never mentioned it explicitly, everyone had a deep impression of the bountiful rewards that the Gu Immortal Sect had given out in the end.
Even without mentioning anything else, those who could stand in such a place could be considered as core disciples of the Gu Immortal Sect. Similarly, everyone present also regarded the Gu Immortal Sect as their home.
With such a mindset, the Gu Immortal Sect’s winning and losing rankings could already represent their individuals’ wins and losses. It represented their sense of honor and mission.
Looking at his fellow disciples’ spirits, Fang Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
Great, my great Gu Immortal Sect!
How lucky am I to have such a group of companions!
With such a group of disciples, why would Gu Immortal Sect need to worry about not being able to prosper!
With such a united sect, why would the Yan Shen Empire worry about them not being strong?
On another note, his master had already gone on the secret mission he mentioned earlier. How was it going after so long? There was no news at all.
…
Seeing that the second round was about to start, Fang Yuan immediately put away his thoughts and went forward to draw the sect number for the second round.
The Yan Shen Empire held such a grand Gu Dao convention for many purposes.
One was to find out the strength of the various sects in the territory of their empire.
Second was to find out the next generation of successors within these sects, or in the next few decades, who would have a certain influence within the Yan Shen Empire?
When that time came, regardless of whether it was the position they were about to assume within their own sects, or the fields they were in charge of, or whether they chose to go out to carry out missions, and in the latter case, what kind of possible changes would they bring to the entire Yan Shen Empire, another point was to figure out the specific situation of their talents, intelligence, and other aspects.
The third point was to see clearly the relationship between the major sects within the Yan Shen Empire!
They were trying to dig out some of the trump cards that the older generation of the major sects had accumulated!
And the Yan Shen Empire’s rulers believed that no matter what purpose the major sects within the Yan Shen Empire had hidden their strength before, when the time came, the current leaders of the various sects would definitely not be stingy with their future successors!
The fourth point was to build a platform.
The main purpose was to give the next generation within the entire Yan Shen Empire a channel for them to get to know each other and develop their connections with each other, to promote the Yan Shen Empire to be better and more peaceful in the next few decades, a more positive and healthy development.
From the perspective of the participants of the Gu Dao convention, it was naturally a stage for them to showcase themselves. The world was full of people of their generation, and this was the best time for them to make a name for themselves.
Moreover, regardless of whether it was their cultivation methods, Gu worms, or their moves, as well as their understanding of the other sects, they could all be improved and pushed forward during such a good opportunity, and the next successors of the various sects could expand the vision and breadth of their minds.
It was also a kind of encouragement to the other sects.
The weak would naturally take the initiative to find opportunities to establish cooperative relationships with other strong sects, and for the strong, it was also a good opportunity to understand the specific situation of the strength of the other sects, as well as whether they had the possibility and opportunity to mutate, and whether they could integrate into their own system.
At the same time, it was also a good opportunity to polish the temperament of their successors, so that they could properly look at others.
In this aspect, from the current point of view, the Tianxiang Sect was one of the representatives.
And for such an important competition with so many meanings, naturally there were a huge number of people and organizations for the Gu Dao convention’s implementation and defending.
And within the Yan Shen Empire, the officials in charge of the Gu Dao convention also had a complete system.
It was said that within the Yan Shen Empire, the department in charge of the Gu Dao convention and other matters was called the etiquette department.
Fang Yuan thought as he came to the table where the numbers were drawn.
This time, the person in charge of drawing the numbers was another person, different from the previous round. After he stirred up all the numbers, he placed them into the box and brought them to the representatives of each sect one by one, letting them draw.
This time, Fang Yuan drew number 47.
After all the teams had drawn lots, that person in charge recorded the information and numbers of each representative’s sect. In the final summary table, Fang Yuan saw that the other sect that had also drawn number 47 was the Gu Demon Sect.
“Hehe, if that’s the case, then…”
