Death… And Me

Chapter 1741 Caught

The twins also had the same questions in mind. Although they could imagine it was probably happening due to their Soul Gem System attracting destiny. Since they would participate in the selection, something obviously had to happen with it. In the end, they werenʼt surprised at the very least that things were changing.

Yuivo nodded, saying, ”It would be way too complicated to have all the powers outside the center of the Realm of Gods fight each other with all their strength. That would only cause chaos and ruin the now clean continent. Thatʼs not what the powers of the center of the Realm of Gods want. With that said, they came up with another way of deciding who would take that free continent.”

Yuivo continued, ”As you know, itʼs very common for powers like my Jamai Sect to bring smaller continents under our wings. That means that not only can we use the strength of all our continents but also call over the experts of the smaller allied continents to help us. It goes without saying that the other powers vying for the free continent are in a similar position.”

”That said, the Rambram Sect, one of the big powers at the center of the Realm of Gods, came up with another method involving these smaller allied continents. They announced that each of the competitors for the free continent would not be allowed to use members of their own that are above the Space Bending Realm. Not only that, but each one of those powers canʼt send more than a hundred of their own members for this competition either. Otherwise, just my Jamai Sect alone would be able to send tens of thousands of them. As for what the competition would be about, we donʼt know yet.”

Gean was taken aback, as did the elders in the room. Of course, they knew that Yuivo hadnʼt finished yet.

”However...” Yuivo narrowed his eyes, adding, ”They allowed these one hundred participants from each competing continent to bring two subordinates each that arenʼt part of their own powers. Also, these subordinates must not be at or above the Void Tempering Realm. Since theyʼre subordinates, itʼs only natural that they have lower cultivation, or so the rules say.”

”Those are very weird rules...” Gean couldnʼt help but say in response. The elders around him agreed, and even the twins had to nod their heads as they watched the meeting.

Yuivo agreed with Gean. ”We thought so as well. Nonetheless, an entire continent in the center of the Realm of Gods is open for taking. Whatever the rules are, we will definitely comply with them. The only good thing is that with the Rambram Sect overseeing the competition, we donʼt need to be afraid of others breaking the rules. That also means that the other powers will definitely not try to squeeze Transition Realm members of their own into subordinate positions. After all, that would be the same as asking their own powers to be wiped out of the Realm of Gods.”

”Thatʼs definitely a good thing,” Gean mentioned. ”Anyway, since those are the rules, the reason for Senior Yuivo to come to this place has now become quite obvious. Am I correct to say that these two youngsters are part of the one hundred selected participants of the Jamai Sect to head to the new free continent?”

Yuivo nodded in response. ”Thatʼs correct. Obviously, I brought them here so that they could look for subordinates with good enough capabilities to serve them during the competition. The thing is that the competition is scheduled to start in six months. Naturally, we couldnʼt wait for our own Jamai Sectʼs selection to start anymore. Everything happened too quickly. We simply donʼt have time to start an examination since it usually lasts several months until the results come out or even longer.”

Gean knew that. All the Jamai Sectʼs selections so far would take a very long time to be concluded due to the sheer number of participants. It wasnʼt uncommon for it to take two years or more. ”I understand. However... what about the selection itself? We had quite a few promising disciples that would take part in it two years later.”

Yuivo smiled in response, replying, ”Hehe! The reason most of our smaller allied continents want to enter our Jamai Sect is the reward we give them if their disciples succeed. This time, because of the urgency of the matter, our Jamai Sect is willing to give the same reward in exchange for those four members of your sect. That means the four subordinates we select here will become members of our Jamai Sect straight away. Obviously, your Jhiod Sect will get the rewards of four members at once.”

Gean and all the other eldersʼ hearts skipped a beat. They would be already extremely delighted if even one of their disciples passed the Jamai Sectʼs selection. Now, they had a guaranteed reward for each of the four slots. How could they not be amazed by that? ”I-Is that true, Senior Yuivo?”

Yuivo nodded. ”Of course! However, I do hope you bring out the best of the best disciples of your sect. As you know, there are 98 more Space Bending Realm disciples of my Jamai Sect that went to other small continents under our wings to choose their subordinates. I believe you donʼt want to look too bad compared to them once everyone is gathered.”

”Definitely!” Let alone Gean, every single elder in the room there would absolutely bring their best Transition Realm disciples to the table. After all, not only would the reward be given to the sect, the clan from where they came from would get a bigger chunk of it. Last but not least, these disciples would be part of the Jamai Sect in the future, which was a great deal for the Jhiod Sect.

Yuivo then put his cup of tea, which was now empty, down on the table. ”Now then, would you mind letting us see the disciples you have?”

It was then that Ramona smiled, saying, ”I have made my choice already. I want the two boys who are eavesdropping on our meeting.”

Rean and Roan felt their hearts stop for a moment after hearing that.
