CHAPTER 106: Can You Guarantee It?
"The Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly symbolizes 'Establishing the Nine Heavens.' Who can establish the Nine Heavens? Only the enforcers!"
Han Xiaoran chuckled and explained, "In fact, all enforcers in the world are selected from the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly. In this assembly, all masters associated with family power are excluded, and only loose cultivators without any backing are allowed to participate. Those who qualify are absorbed and trained by the enforcers' nine major regions, thus becoming the new generation of enforcers."
"After determining the candidates, they undergo rigorous reviews and accept the enhancement of the enforcers' cultivation levels. From there, it's an upward journey," Han Xiaoran continued. "Back in the day, I emerged from the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly and walked step by step to achieve what I have today."
Chu Yang suddenly understood: "So that's how it is!"
"And what you need to aim for is the finals! Because that is where the real elites emerge. There are many people there who are geniuses aiming to enter the headquarters and receive supreme teachings. And we... need those geniuses!"
Han Xiaoran said.
Chu Yang furrowed his brows, deep in thought, and finally sighed, "So the chief enforcer lacks manpower at the headquarters?"
Han Xiaoran sighed, "In the past, the nine major regions fought for personnel with all sorts of clever schemes; but I thought I only needed to manage the southeast, with a clear conscience, ensuring a bright future for it, without considering taking charge at the headquarters. Thus, I hadn't paid much attention to gathering support. But now the situation has taken a sharp turn, and I'm somewhat caught off guard."
"If the Shi Family really plots against the enforcers, then the headquarters must have its insiders. If we don't root out this person, it will eventually become a major problem!"
Han Xiaoran frowned, "Of course, this is just my worst-case scenario. If the Shi Family's issues can be resolved smoothly, and the southeast is tidied up in an orderly manner, then it’s not as serious as imagined. All we need is the title of the first physician of the Myriad Medicine Convention, and that will be enough."
Chu Yang laughed heartily: "In that case, little brother will do everything possible to alleviate this concern for you, brother!"
"Right now, we're just discussing things. You just need to have a general idea in mind. As long as you don't waste time when the moment comes, we can plan in detail after we meet then."
"When is the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly?" Chu Yang asked.
"One year after the Myriad Medicine Convention, at the same time, is the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly!" Han Xiaoran replied.
"Should I disguise myself and personally attend the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly?" This question made Han Xiaoran ponder for a long time, unable to make a decision.
"How many people have entered the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly under disguises in previous sessions?" Chu Yang asked. "Even pharmacists who hold the life and death of enforcers could be spies, so is it possible that no one has entered under a disguise? Can we truly know the roots of every person?"
Han Xiaoran was taken aback, beads of cold sweat forming.
"Then, among the current enforcers, after ten thousand years and over a hundred sessions of the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly, how many are actually loose cultivators from the martial arts world? Among the enforcers, how many are already from the nine great families?"
Chu Yang said with some sarcasm.
"That shouldn't be possible, right? Even if there are one or two, it wouldn’t be many," Han Xiaoran replied.
Chu Yang smiled coldly and said, "In a country, after the war, countless soldiers return home. But these people still need to eat, they need jobs. So, the authorities issue an order: among the more than a thousand returning soldiers in the county, a special examination will be conducted. The top thirty will be admitted into the county office and become state officials."
