Chapter 197
“Tomorrow?”
Xu Ming was a bit puzzled by Yue Lou’s suggestion.
Logically, to avoid trouble, Yue Lou should have waited for Qing Wan to finish her seclusion and let Qing Wan bring him into the Tianxuan Sect herself. But now, Yue Lou was suggesting letting him enter directly?
Xu Ming found this hard to understand.
Seeing Xu Ming’s confused expression, Yue Lou sighed and decided not to hide it anymore.
“Young Master Xu, here’s the situation. This time, the Zixia Grand Ceremony will greatly influence the selection of the Saint Son or Saint Daughter of Tianxuan Sect.
Among the Four Great Sacred Grounds, one pair of Saint Son and Saint Daughter is usually selected. But Tianxuan Sect is different—or rather, most sects in the world don’t have the abundance of resources like the Four Great Sacred Grounds.
In Tianxuan Sect, if there’s a Saint Daughter, there won’t be a Saint Son, and vice versa. The main purpose of this is to focus resources on one individual, be it the Saint Son or Saint Daughter, and to prevent factionalism within the sect, which could lead to internal strife.”
Xu Ming nodded in understanding. “I see. It’s like how a dynasty chooses a crown prince. The only difference is that in the mortal world, the heir must be male, but in the cultivation world, it’s based on ability, regardless of gender.”
