When Fan Cheng came back from taking over the mission, everyone was ready, so under his leadership, everyone left the mountain gate and headed west.

After Chu Yan came to Broken Star Tower before, he entered the mountain gate directly. He only accepted the mission and immersed himself in practice, and did not know much about the environment around Broken Star Tower.

Taking advantage of the time spent on the road these days, Chu Yan asked Fan Cheng and others for advice.

From what Fan Cheng and others said about Chu Chu, we know that the entire Yun'ao territory is mainly mountainous, with undulating mountains and numerous mountains.

Wherever there are mountains and water, there must be wind and energy gathered there, and there will be abundant spiritual energy. Therefore, the strength of the monks and monks possessed by Yun Ao Jiang is considered to be the highest among several surrounding countries.

Now that Chu Yan is on the path to immortality, his vision will naturally no longer be limited to the country as it was in the past.

So after some inquiring, Chu Yan found out that the surrounding areas of Yun'ao Kingdom were dominated by counties. These counties were like stars over the moon, surrounding Yun'ao Kingdom at the center. They had to pay annual tribute to Yun'ao Kingdom every year.

And Yun Ao Jiangguo protects the safety of these counties.

As for the sects of Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom, on the one hand, they are under the management of the state in name, but in fact they are of their own kind, and the laws of the country do not have many restrictions on the sects.

To a certain extent, Yun Ao Jiangguo is more like the agent of each sect in the mortal world.

Yun Ao Jiang established a dynasty and government to manage the country, making the country stable and the people living and working in peace and contentment. Only in such a peaceful environment can the sect continuously select talents and replenish the sect's fresh blood.

In order to maintain the stability of the Yun'ao Kingdom, the sect will also take action to eliminate enemies for the sect when necessary, and will also refine elixirs and offer them to the royal family of the Yun'ao Kingdom in the name of the sect, so that

They extend life.

When he said this, Fan Cheng's face flashed with excitement and he said: "The most exciting thing about this is the national election of the state religion in Yun Ao Jiang."

"The state religion election, what is that?" Chu Yan asked, blinking.

Xu Ya explained with a smile: "There are nearly a hundred sects in Yun Ao Jiang, but there are only six truly recognized powerful sects. Letting these six sects rule by dividing the territory obviously violates what Yun Ao said.

The Aojiang Kingdom had the original intention of unified management of this country, but it was even more impossible for the six sects to govern each other. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Yun'aojiang Kingdom, the royal family and the six major sects jointly made an agreement.

This agreement is that every twenty years, these six major sects will send out disciples to conduct trials, and the sect that wins in the end will become the state religion of Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom.

Theoretically speaking, the sect that becomes the state religion will surpass the other six major sects in status in the next twenty years, and the various resources and benefits it can obtain will naturally greatly surpass other sects.

During this period, unless it is a decision related to the survival of the country, all other decisions can be made by the state religion, and the other five major sects have no right to interfere."

"So that's it." Chu Yan nodded. At this moment, he suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked seemingly casually, "Senior sister, when is the next national election?"

"Three years later." Fan Cheng patted Chu Yan's shoulder with a smile, "Junior brother, if we work hard, you and I may still have a chance to win glory for Broken Star Tower, especially you. I remember clearly that you were

But the boast is to change the perception that our Broken Star Tower is not good at fighting."

"Sure enough, it was three years." Chu Yan murmured.

The reason why he pays attention to the state religion election is naturally because when Song Hua, the deacon of Xuanyuemen, left, he once told him that he was looking forward to his performance in three years.

Now it seems that what Song Hua is referring to is the state religion election.

However, doubts arose in Chu Yan's heart: "Senior brother, the state religion election is not a child's play. It should be the best of each sect, at least the elite disciples, or even the masters directly showing their strength. Why did you just say you and me?

Any chance?"

"That's not the case." Xu Ya said with a smile, "Junior brother, let me ask you something, how to judge the strength of a sect?"

"If we take our Broken Star Tower as an example, it naturally depends on the number of divisions and the overall strength of the divisions." Chu Yan said, "The more monks there are in the Heavenly Mind Realm, the stronger the Broken Star Tower will be, or based on the existing number,

, the more monks who have perfected the third level of heavenly state of mind, the stronger the Broken Star Tower will be."

"This is just one aspect." Xu Ya nodded, confirming Chu Yan's answer.

At this time, she didn't try to be too pretentious and said directly: "Another aspect is the number of potential disciples under my sect."

Xu Ya raised her voice a little at this moment, and Chu Yan understood.

The strength of a sect is not only the number of current strong men, but also the number of future strong men.

The number of current strong men can guarantee the current strength of the sect, while the number of strong men in the future can guarantee the sect's longevity and longevity.

If a sect has ten monks who have perfected the third level of the Heavenly Mind Realm, but the disciples under the sect are all warriors and Pulse Condensation Realm, and not a single Earth Yuan Realm, then the sect will naturally only be stronger than this generation. When these Heavenly Mind Realm monks are

If all of them have fallen, then the sect will naturally also plummet. It is hard to say whether the sect's inheritance can be guaranteed.

"I understand." Chu Yan nodded, "Low-level disciples are not only the future of the sect, but also the present of the sect. They can also show the background of each sect."

"Yes, and another point is that if elite disciples, core disciples or even true disciples are allowed to try it, the price they will have to pay will be too high." Li Yao, who had always been taciturn, said at this moment.

Chu Yan felt that he seemed to have something to say, but before he could ask specifically, Fan Cheng had already said: "Okay, there are still three years left, junior brother, you have to work hard, because the number of disciples who can participate in the exam is limited to

Below the elite disciple level, that is to say, apprentice disciples, outer disciples and inner disciples all have opportunities.

And in this competition, although the stronger the better, the masters of the sect are also willing to let potential disciples see the world. After all, such opportunities are extremely rare, so every time there is an election for the state religion, there are many disciples from various sects.

The apprentice disciple of the sect appears."

In Fan Cheng's opinion, Chu Yan would still be an apprentice in three years.

After all, in three years, if it weren't for an amazing opportunity, it would be very difficult to be promoted to the first level.

According to the improvement speed of ordinary monks, it takes five years to be promoted from the first level to the second level of Pulse Condensation Realm, which is considered very good.

Although Chu Yan made an astonishing performance in the Hundred Sects Recruitment Ceremony, those who have walked the path of a monk will naturally know how difficult it is every step forward.

But Chu Yan didn't think so at the moment.

In three years, except for some tasks or other times when it is inconvenient to use the time and space cage, he plans to spend the rest of his time practicing in Guixu Pagoda.
