When Jiang Fan heard this, his heart shook. He could not help straightening his back and listening intently.
Zixiao Zhenren picked up his teacup and took a light sip.
"Mystic Heaven Holy Land is one of the four great holy lands of the Mystic Heaven Realm, a pillar that holds up an entire world!"
"It wards off powerful enemies without and suppresses demons within, safeguarding the peace of the realm!"
"Normally speaking, within the holy land, all disciples should support one another like brothers and sisters, standing together against outsiders!"
"This iron law has run through ten thousand years of the holy land's history!"
"But..."
His tone suddenly changed.
"There is one period that is the exception!"
Jiang Fan's gaze sharpened.
"You mean... the period of the World Traveler?"
Zixiao Zhenren shook his head.
"To be precise, it is the period of selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter!"
"The position of Holy Master in each generation can ultimately be inherited by only one person! That person will be the Holy Son or the Holy Daughter, the core figure who will lead the holy land into its next era!"
"So in order to ensure the strongest successor is chosen, the holy land often opens a special window of time!"
"This window begins when the Core Disciples of the various halls take part in the World Traveler trials, and continues until the Holy Son or Holy Daughter is formally confirmed!"
"During this time, the upper echelons of the holy land will tacitly permit the competitors to use certain methods against one another!"
"As long as they do not cross the bottom line of betraying their sect or bringing disaster to the people, and as long as they do not cause large-scale losses or casualties, it is all regarded as normal competition!"
