170: How about going for a walk?

According to what Chen De knew, the information about becoming the next Hall Master of Qiu Xian Hall.

It lies within the three affiliated continents of the Qiu Xian Continent: Wang Xian, Ping Xian, and Bai Xian.

At Qiu Xian Hall, the requirement to become a True Disciple is to have a cultivation level reaching the Void Union Realm and an entry period of over five hundred years.

Thus, the application conditions for becoming a True Disciple are met.

Furthermore, each Core Disciple has only one chance to apply for the True Disciple assessment.

The assessment task for True Disciples is completely different in difficulty from the promotion assessments for the previous disciples.

Because it is preparation for selecting the next Hall Master, the promotion assessment requirements are quite strict.

This also led to there being only four True Disciples in the entire Qiu Xian Hall.

They are Lin Zhang from Ping Xian Continent, Zhang Cun from Bai Xian Continent, and Li Xuan and Xiao Shang from Wang Xian Continent.

Below them, there are countless Core Disciples, at least several hundred.

Among these hundreds of Core Disciples, quite a few have reached the Void Union Realm but dare not apply for the True Disciple assessment.

Among them, Xiao Shang from Wang Xian Continent, after breaking through to the Void Union Realm,

was stuck at the Core Disciple level by the True Disciple assessment for over a hundred years and only recently got promoted.

Upon becoming a True Disciple, one becomes eligible to participate in the selection of the next Hall Master.

The selection of the next Hall Master of Qiu Xian Hall is divided into two parts.

These two parts are 'means' and 'strength' respectively.

They do not interfere with each other and are scored separately.

As a Hall Master, insufficient strength is not enough to command respect, and a lack of wisdom and cunning is not enough to lead Qiu Xian Hall to stand firm.

For the 'means' part, all True Disciples competing for the next Hall Master position

randomly choose one of the three affiliated continents to develop.

Due to the deliberate actions of Qiu Xian Hall, the three affiliated continents have always been in a state of division internally.

After a True Disciple arrives at the chosen continent, he must unify and integrate that continent without restriction of method or means.

Then, he must also subdue and unify the other two continents.

Moreover, True Disciples from the other two continents can also interfere to hinder the unification process of True Disciples from other continents.

During this process, no True Disciple may use strength exceeding the first level of the Void Union Realm, but there are no restrictions on affecting his normal breakthrough in cultivation.

The first to unify the three continents wins the 'means' part and receives full marks.

Losers will be given scores as appropriate based on their specific performance during the task.

Then, there is the 'strength' part.

All True Disciples must undergo a strength assessment for scoring.

In this world, strength is respected.

Therefore, ultimately, the 'strength' part's score might account for a larger proportion.

However, under the meticulous refinement of successive generations of Qiu Xian Hall, it is absolutely impossible for a situation to occur where

one part scores extremely high, but another part scores extremely low, and then that person becomes the Hall Master.

Finally, the one with the highest total score can become the Young Hall Master of Qiu Xian Hall.

Upon becoming the Young Hall Master, he will receive the resource tilt of the entire Qiu Xian Hall.

At the fastest speed, he will rapidly grow into a Heavenly Imperial Realm martial artist.

During this period, as long as he does not commit a major act sufficient to subvert or endanger the entire Qiu Xian Hall,

he will receive extremely high exemption for any other issues.

At the same time, Qiu Xian Hall will protect him at all costs.

Listening to those people discussing issues concerning True Disciples, Chen De also gradually began to have some ideas.

These True Disciples... perhaps he can make some arrangements!

Unfortunately, Chen De's current status is low, and directly approaching True Disciples is not very realistic, but reaching the Core Disciple level would make it possible.

True Disciples can recruit Core Disciples, and Core Disciples can also pledge allegiance to a certain True Disciple.

These Core Disciples can help him complete tasks on the continent he is on.

For example, guarding a certain city, expanding territory, or eliminating indigenous people...

This is allowed and even encouraged by the rules of Qiu Xian Hall.

Moreover, Core Disciples can also gather Inner Sect Disciples to help them with tasks.

For example, assisting certain Core Disciples in executing missions, and so on.

But do not assume that by intentionally keeping a few Core Disciples above the first level of the Void Union Realm who do not get promoted to True Disciples,

you can make them use strength above the first level of the Void Union Realm to work for you.

This is not allowed by the rules and is strictly prohibited.

To prevent such situations, Qiu Xian Hall has also specifically established some rules.

In the three affiliated continents, no one except the indigenous people may use strength exceeding the first level of the Void Union Realm.

Except for True Disciples, no one may use Void Union Realm level strength.

Therefore, before becoming True Disciples, Core Disciples will have no power to resist True Disciples.

If they use their true strength, they will have even less power to resist.

And for this purpose, a supervisory array has been specially set up on the three affiliated continents.

Due to the different cultivation methods and systems of indigenous people and martial artists,

it is easy to detect and distinguish between indigenous people and martial artists if they make a move.

All of this is to ensure the capability of the selected next Hall Master.

Chen De is currently only an Inner Sect Disciple, but he is an Inner Sect Disciple who has reached the Myriad Transformation Realm.

In a sense, Chen De can already be called a quasi-Core Disciple.

If Chen De were to go and pledge allegiance now, both the Core Disciples and the True Disciples would welcome him with open arms.

Chen De was too lazy to wait until he became a Core Disciple.

It wouldn't hurt to go and see now.

Who knows, Chen De might even be able to get dual cultivation methods from those guys in advance.

Also, regarding formations, due to the mission, the three affiliated continents are gathering places for True Disciples.

At least seventy percent of the entire Qiu Xian Hall's Core Disciples are gathered there.

Moreover, for this reason, Core Disciples often fall there.

After all, even in ordinary sect disciple duels and arena fights, people occasionally die.

Just like when the Hall used to hold various competitions, a few disciples would always die.

Furthermore, in the three affiliated continents, the struggles are almost real, involving bloodshed.

It's normal to lose control or not intend to hold back at all.

Especially since those places have fierce customs, indigenous people are entrenched, and things are complex.

Disciples from one continent colluding with indigenous people from another continent, or disciples from two continents colluding with each other...

If things go wrong, you won't even know who killed you.

Was it an indigenous person, or a fellow sect brother disguised as an indigenous person?

Therefore, for any disciple who wants to get involved,

choosing a good leader is a very important matter.

Chen De is a peace-loving person and would never choose to profit from war.

Most importantly, during wartime, what Chen De hates most is human suffering.

Wang Xian Continent, with its two True Disciples vying for power, is the most chaotic, like dogs biting dogs.

Bai Xian Continent has very strong indigenous forces, making it more dangerous for disciples there, but relatively stable.

Ping Xian Continent was unified once, but unfortunately, it was recently ignited again, a full-scale ignition, with people fighting everywhere.

After careful consideration, Chen De decided that the relatively peaceful Bai Xian Continent would be a better choice.
