The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 204

When Sebastian returned from accepting the mission, everyone was already ready.

After that, everyone followed his lead and went out of the gate, heading toward the west.

After Sonya arrived at the Heavenly Stars Sect, he did not leave the mountains.

Then, he directly accepted a mission and started focusing on cultivation.

Hence, he was not familiar with the Heavenly Stars Sect’s surroundings.

Taking advantage of the few days on the road, Sonya asked for advice from Sebastian and the rest.

Soon, he found out that the entire Earlington of Efrax was dominated by mountains, with countless, undulating hills.

Wherever there were mountains and springs, it would surely be a heavenly place with ample spiritual Qi.

Therefore, the warriors and cultivators in Earlington of Efrax would be considered top-tier compared to those around it.

Since Sonya entered the pathway to immortality, his view would not be limited to Salleria anymore.

After listening to Sebastian’s description, Sonya knew that Earlington of Efrax was surrounded by counties, and they would view Earlington of Efrax as the core figure.

Each year, those counties would pay annual tribute to the Earlington of Efrax, and in return, the Earlington of Efrax would ensure their safety.

As for the sects in Earlington of Efrax, they were not restricted by the governing laws even though they were supposedly under the Earlington of Efrax’s management.

Instead, they were much like a group of their own.

From a certain point of view, the Earlington of Efrax was like an agent for the various sects in the mortal world.

The Earlington of Efrax established a government to manage the country and looked after its stability.

With that, the people would live in peace, and the sects could continuously choose and replenish new talents in such a harmonious environment.

To maintain the peace in Earlington of Efrax, the sects would also help the monarch get rid of enemies.

At the same, the sects would also refine precious medicine and give it to the royal family of the Earlington of Efrax under their sect’s name.

Those elixirs were usually used to extend their lifespan.

Suddenly, Sebastian’s face flashed with a hint of excitement.

”The most sensational event will be the Earlington of Efrax’s official religion election.”

The official religion election? What’s that?” Sonya asked.

Heidi chuckled and explained, “The Earlington of Efrax has hundreds of sects, but only six powerful sects are recognized.

Letting these six sects divide and rule will violate the original intention of letting Earlington of Efrax manage the country as one.

Nevertheless, it’s also impossible to let the six sects govern together.

Thus, when the Earlington of Efrax was first established, the royal family and the six sects had agreed.

For every twenty years, the disciples from the six sects will compete with each other, and the winning sect will become the Earlington of Efrax’s official religion.

Theoretically speaking, the sect that becomes the official religion will be above the rest of the sects, and they can get various resource benefits.

Hence, they’ll naturally surpass the other sects too.

During this period, unless it concerns the survival of the country, the official religion can decide on other matters, but the other five major sects have no right to interfere.”

“So that’s how it is…” Sonya nodded.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and he asked casually, “Heidi when’s the next nation’s official religion election?”

“In three more years,” Sebastian smiled and patted Sonya’s shoulder, “If you work hard, you and I might have a chance to represent and bring honor to the Heavenly Stars Sect.

I remember that you boasted before you wanted to change the belief that our Heavenly Stars Sect is not good at battles.”

“So it’s indeed in three years…” Sonya mumbled.

Sonya paid attention to the nation’s official religion election because Ian mentioned looking forward to his performance three years later. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It seemed that Ian was referring to this nation’s official religion election.

But, Sonya was still puzzled.

“Sebastian, the nation’s official religion election is not a trifling matter.

Those participants must be at least the best of their sects, and they’re surely at least an elite disciple.

Moreover, even the masters might show up.

Why did you say we have a chance?”

“That’s where you’re mistaken,” Heidi chuckled, “Casper, do you know how a sect’s strength is judged?”

Sonya answered, “If we’re using our Heavenly Stars Sect as an example, it’s naturally based on the number of masters and their overall strength.

The more Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators, the stronger the Heavenly Stars Sect.

Otherwise, referring to the current numbers, the higher the number of the peak third-stage Heavenly Realm Spirit cultivators, the stronger the Heavenly Stars Sect.”

“That’s only one of the aspects.” Heidi nodded, affirming Sonya‘s answer.

Heidi did not keep Sonya on tenterhooks anymore and directly added, “The other aspect is the number of potential disciples under the sect.”

With just a quick mention, Sonya immediately understood that the strength of a sect was not only based on the current number of strong disciples but also on the future.

The number of strong talents now could guarantee the sect’s current ability, but the future number of strong disciples could ensure the sect‘s continuous and never-ending existence.

If there were only ten peaks third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators in a sect, but the rest of the disciples were warriors and in Pulse Control Realm but none in Holy Land Realm, then the sect would naturally only be strong in this generation.

Once all these Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators had fallen, then the sect would fall apart, and it was challenging to say whether the sect could maintain its inheritance.

“Thank you for letting me know,” Sonya nodded, “The low-level disciples are not only the future of the sect but also the present.

Moreover, they can also represent the sect’s state.”

Yohan, who was quiet the whole journey, suddenly chimed in, “That’s right.

Besides that, if we let the elite, core and true disciples participate in the competition, the price will be too great.”

Sonya felt there was a double meaning in his reply, but before he could ask for details, Sebastian interrupted, “Alright.

There are three more years to go.

Casper, you must work hard.

Only disciples below the elite ranking can join, which means apprentices, inner disciples, and outer disciples will have a chance to participate.

Additionally, although it’s best to let the strong join the competition, the masters in the sect are willing to let any talented disciples join to gain experience.

After all, such an opportunity is rare.

Therefore, there will be many apprentices from various sects to join the nation’s official religion election.”

Sebastian thought Sonya would surely still be an apprentice three years later.

After all, unless there was an incredible opportunity, it would be hard for anyone to level up to another stage.

Based on most Pulse Control Reahn cultivators’ promotion speed, it would be pretty impressive to rise to second-stage in five years.

Even though Sonya was outstanding in the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, those cultivators knew how difficult it was to even move a step forward in the pathway to immortality.

However, Sonya did not have the same thought.

In those three years, besides doing some tasks or when it was inconvenient for him to practice in the Time Warp Zone, Sonya planned to be in the Tower of Life at all times and practice.

If the remaining time in the real world was assumed to be two years, then Sonya had six years in the Time Warp Zone.

Then, adding another year in the mortal world, Sonya had a total of at least seven years!
