The atmosphere at dinner was far more "harmonious" than imagined. Mo Lin personally cooked, showing off culinary skills learned from some unknown world. He prepared a table full of fragrant, delicious dishes brimming with spiritual energy, making Su Youwei's beautiful eyes shine. Even Wu Yao, who had never cared much for food, took several extra bites.
During the meal, Mo Lin casually brought up the Nine Regions Grand Assembly.
"By the way, Youwei, when exactly does the Nine Regions Grand Assembly begin? I can make preparations in advance." Mo Lin placed some spiritual bamboo shoots into Su Youwei's bowl and asked.
Su Youwei obediently swallowed her food and answered softly, "Brother Mo Lin, according to custom, the next Nine Regions Grand Assembly should officially begin in three years."
"Three years from now?" Mo Lin's hand paused slightly as he picked up food. He raised his brows. "That long?"
He had originally thought it would be just a few months away. He had planned to settle things quickly, obtain the Ancestral Dragon Lamp, and treat Yao Yao. He never expected to have to wait three years! He did not want Yao Yao's injuries to drag on for that long!
"Mm." Su Youwei nodded and explained, "The Nine Regions Grand Assembly concerns the ownership of a sacred artifact like the Ancestral Dragon Lamp. It is the foremost event in Hunyuan Heaven, so the preparation period is very long. Moreover, before the assembly begins, every region has its own internal selection process to determine the final participants. That takes time as well."
Wu Yao added coolly, "Three years pass in the blink of an eye for cultivators. The prodigies of every region will also use this opportunity to enter seclusion and make a final push, striving to shine at the assembly."
