Zhan Chen stopped cultivating and looked around. He was feeling refreshed after few hours of cultivation.


    He spread his soul consciousness and found all the girls were still cultivating in their rooms. Even Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun were no exception as both of them were cultivating in Sun Xiun ''s room.


    "It is good to see both of them getting along well. This way I have less matters to worry. I only need to take care of improving their cultivation and they can take care of eachothers in my absence ", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a smile on his face.


    He stood up and stretched his body a little. Then he pushed his door and walked out.


    "I wonder what happened to Celestial night. I can feel it''s sword aura inside my body but it is impossible to find out where it is hiding", he pondered inside his mind while walking towards the main hall.


    "There is only one ce left in my body where I can''t look as I wish. It is the diagram world. I have to check it after this grand sectpetition is over", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    Lu Tai Cang was already waiting when he entered the main hall. He turned to look towards Zhan Chen after feeling his presence near the entrance.


    "Good morning, senior", Zhan Chen greeted Lu Tai Cang.


    "Good morning. What is your n for the grand sectpetition?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Senior, as you know I will have no problem in the first round of thepetetion. What I am really interested is in the second round of the grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Senior, can you exin some details about the grand sectpetition?", he requested Lu Tai Cang.


    "I am nning to do so in the first ce. Let''s wait for everyone to gather first. I will exin about the grand sectpetition while we are in our way", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and talked about some other matters with Lu Tai Cang. They didn''t have to wait longer as the girls started to show up one by one.


    First, it was Sun Xiun who finished her cultivation and came to the main hall. Others followed after her one by one.


    -------------


    The Grand sectpetetion would be held in a barrennd outside the Longyang city. There were ancient formations there which were activated only when it was the time for grand sectpetition.


    Grand sectpetition was a major event for the entire Norther desert continent cultivators. Forget about other benefits, just the temptation to be choosen by the top powers of the Centralnd attracts many cultivators to the grand sectpetition.


    There were total two stages in the Grand sectpetition. First one was for young cultivators who had yet to join any powers.


    Second stage or the final stage was for each and every cultivators of the Northern desert continent who were below twenty five years of age.


    The second stage was the most important one in the grand sectpetition because every power tried to showcase the talent of their younger generation infront of the crowd present.


    It proved whether a power was declining or arising infront of the crowd. As for the participation of top talents, it was assured with the allure of the prizes that the powerful sects were offering in each and every Grand sectpetition.


    There were joint rewards from the Xuantian sect, Heavenly sword sect and the Frozen cloud sect. Even the Spirit pce was offering separate awards for the winners of the Grand sectpetition.


    Li Shu gulped a little after hearing the description of Lu Tai Cang but it was a given that she wouldn''t be the winner of the Grand sectpetition.


    There was a yearning look on the face of Kai Min and Li Yan after they heard the words of Lu Tai Cang. As for Zhan Chen, he was not thinking about thepetetion. What he was truly interested in was the awards of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Young master Chen, look", Li Shu held the hand of Zhan Chen with a startled expression on her face. Zhan Chen looked towards where she was pointing and a slightly intrigued expression appeared on his face.


    "There are really too many cultivators", he murmured after seeing the sea of cultivators in a distance.


    Sun Xiu Lan and Lin Xintong also taken aback after they witnessed the grand spectacle in front of them. It was really an eye opener for all of the girls present on the flying treasure of Lu Tai Cang.


    "Look, it is a flying basilisk", Kai Min pulled Li Yan. Both of them looked at the fearsome magical beast with shock in their eyes.


    There were all sorts of magical beasts walking on the ground. There were also winged beasts who were flying along with different types of flying treasures in the sky.


    Lu Tai Cang felt amused after hearing the animated talk among the girls. He steered the flying treasure skillfully and led the group of Zhan Chen towards the location of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Here we are", he spoke after reaching at the designated destination. There were small hills surrounding a vast opennd. Lu Tai Cang lowered the flying treasure on top of a hill and helped the girls in deboarding the flying treasure.


    "Lu Tai Cang, it is unlike of you. Caretaker of a few milksucking youngsters! What a life for a Tribtion realm expert", a voice came out as soon as the group of Zhan Chennded on the top of a hill.


    Zhan Chen turned his head and found out a group of cultivators looking at them from a distance. The leading cultivator among them had a mocking look on his face as he looked towards Lu Tai Cang.


    "Elder Wei, please restrain yourself. Yor are not allowed to insult the sixth elder of my Lu family", a pleasant voice replied to the taunting voiceing from a distance.


    Zhan Chen looked around and found another group of cultivators walking towards them. There was a beautifuldy taking the lead amongst them. She had a firm look on her face as she looked towards the taunting cultivator.


    "Lu Tai Cang, are you kidding? You can''t speak for yourself. So, you are bringing in a young girl to talk on your behalf", the cultivator standing in a distance mocked once again.


    This time Lu Tai Cang frowned and and raised his head to look at the cultivator standing in a distance.


    "Beiming Wei, shut your stinking mouth. If you don''t do so, then I have to sew it on your behalf", he yelled with an irritated look on his face.


    Their banter stopped after the expert standing next to Beiming Wei intervened. Lu Tai Cang led everyone to a distance where he couldn''t see Beiming Wei.


    "Greetings, sixth elder", everyone including the beautifuldy greeted Lu Tai Cang.


    Lu Tai Cang raised his hand and told everyone to raise their heads. "Mingxi, he is the brat, grand elder was talking about. I have been busy in looking after their group", he spoke to the beautifuldy.
