On the official road, Yun Fan rode on his horse, slightly turning his head to glance back, murmuring to himself. There seemed to be a hint of familiarity, like Liuli in that forest. Shaking his head, he revealed a bitter smile; it seemed he had fallen into a trance, feeling her presence even after she had left Dongyang County City.
After settling down, Yun Fan rode the Chasing Wind Horse, traveling while cultivating. He then began to comprehend Sword Intent, gradually enhancing his strength. To make a name for himself throughout the Great Qin Kingdom, he first needed to join the Heavenly Sword Sect and become a disciple. With that status, he would have some assurance.
Yun Yan and Yun Tian watched as Yun Fan continued to cultivate even while on the road, silently marveling at him. No wonder Yun Fan could become Dongyang County's top Heavenly Talent; even while traveling, he did not waste time and was diligently practicing.
Thus, they cast aside their excitement and began to focus on their own cultivation, hoping to improve their strength before the assessment, which would give them a better chance of passing the Sect Examination.
A month later!
At the Heavenly Sword Sect in Xingyue Town, Yun Fan and his companions finally arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Sword Sect after a month of rapid travel. The entire town was bustling with people, filling the streets to capacity with constant noise.
With only a few days left until the assessment, nearly everyone coming for it was staying in Xingyue Town. After all, it was the closest town to the Heavenly Sword Sect and thus became the top choice for many.
It was rumored that there were experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect stationed here to protect those participating in the assessment. After all these years of gathering talents like Qing Zidi here, if hostile forces suddenly appeared and slaughtered all these disciples, it would not only sever the new bloodline of the Heavenly Sword Sect but also provoke dissatisfaction among various factions in the Great Qin Kingdom. This could tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect and make it increasingly difficult to recruit outstanding disciples.
As Yun Fan and Yun Yan walked through the streets, they observed the lively scene around them. Most of the crowd consisted of young men whose cultivation had reached Zhenjing. Some even had impressive levels of cultivation for their age, having reached True Realm Late Stage.
This left Yun Yan, Yun Tian, and Yun Ding feeling quite astonished. Staying in Dongyang County City, they had not encountered so many Heavenly Talents, leading them to believe that the talents outside were nothing remarkable. However, seeing them today made everyone deeply reflect on their previous assumptions.
They realized they had been like frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of the countless Heavenly Talents outside. With their own abilities, they would hardly make a splash in this Xingyue Town.
Yun Hai, noticing the impact this revelation had on everyone, smiled and offered some comforting words. "Don't underestimate yourselves. Although the Heavenly Talents outside are strong, you are not weak either. Ji Qingqing has already broken through to Zhenjing at such a young age. If she can enter a Sect for training, her future achievements will be no less than anyone else's."
Yun Yan, Yun Tian, and Yun Ding nodded earnestly, their hearts filled with determination to pass the assessment and enter the Sect.
Yun Hai then glanced at Yun Fan beside him. His expression was calm, yet he felt a sense of surprise. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to remain so composed in the presence of such a gathering of Heavenly Talents, as if he didn't regard them at all.
Secretly impressed, he thought to himself that it was no wonder Yun Fan was considered the top Heavenly Talent of Dongyang County; even just his demeanor set him apart from ordinary individuals.
