"The Divine Realm Selection?"
"Senior, has the Nine Heavens Divine Realm been about to open soon?" Chu Feng asked.
"It seems Xing Di and Xing Ren have already told you about it," said Chu Xuan Zhengfa.
"Those two seniors did indeed mention to me that the Nine Heavens Divine Realm would be opening soon. However, I still don't know the specifics of how the Divine Realm Selection works."
Chu Feng could guess that this so-called Divine Realm Selection was some kind of assessment required to enter the Nine Heavens Divine Realm. Only those who passed the assessment would be granted the opportunity to enter the Nine Heavens Divine Realm for cultivation.
However, the exact details of the assessment remained unknown to him. After all, different assessments required different standards.
"The Divine Realm Selection is designed specifically for the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan. For a junior like you, it should be quite easy — nothing more than a formality."
"And I've already secured you a spot to participate."
"However, your injuries were far too severe, and you were unconscious for far too long. The Selection is set to begin today."
"I had assumed you would miss this opportunity, but who would have thought that you would awaken at just the right moment and make a full recovery. It must be the will of the Heavens."
"Even the heavens want you to participate in the Nine Heavens Divine Realm's cultivation."
Chu Xuan Zhengfa was visibly delighted. As he spoke, he produced a token and handed it to Chu Feng.
The words "Divine Realm Selection" were inscribed upon the token.
"Congratulations, Brother Chu Feng."
Upon seeing the token, Chu Yue quickly stepped forward to offer her congratulations.
But even as she did so, her gaze kept drifting to the qualification token Chu Xuan Zhengfa had given Chu Feng, and unmistakable envy surfaced in her eyes.
The envy was plain for anyone to see.
And from Chu Yue's envious expression, Chu Feng could imagine that while this Divine Realm Selection only granted successful participants the opportunity to cultivate within the Nine Heavens Divine Realm, even the qualification to participate was not so easily obtained. At the very least, Chu Yue did not yet have that chance.
Yet judging by her cultivation, she was not weak at all. Though she was only at the third stage of True Immortal, for someone of the younger generation, that level of cultivation was already quite respectable.
And for someone like Chu Yue to not have obtained the qualification for the Divine Realm Selection only proved how strict the selection criteria truly were.
"Chu Yue, you and your mother have worked hard these past days taking care of Chu Feng."
"So, I've secured a spot for you as well," Chu Xuan Zhengfa said, producing another token and handing it to Chu Yue.
"Thank you, Vice Hall Master!"
Upon seeing the token, Chu Yue was overjoyed. She immediately dropped to her knees and performed a full kowtow.
"Oh, get up quickly. You've earned this — there's no need to be so formal with me."
Chu Xuan Zhengfa personally helped Chu Yue to her feet and pressed the token into her hand.
