Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 257 - 148: Settling Accounts, Summer Breeze_3

"That place is enormous. Previous explorations reported that the range of the Oasis is about half the size of the actual planetary territory of the Federation, but now it seems we've underestimated it."

"Oh?" Ning Fengyuan expressed surprise, "It's even bigger?"

"Yes," Yan Ruhuo affirmed earnestly, "There are a large number of 'unknown regions' within the Nine States. The local forces and newly risen powers are all attempting to explore these unknown regions to expand their territorial reach."

"The Federation is also preparing to start from this aspect, to develop territories belonging to us."

Ning Fengyuan nodded without comment. Nothing about that world would surprise him.

"You've come here with a mission, haven't you?"

"Indeed, junior has two matters to attend to," Yan Ruhuo said with a smile, "Firstly, we need to select five young Martial Artists to participate in a friendly exchange battle occurring in a month."

"A friendly exchange battle?" Ning Fengyuan squinted slightly, "An exchange with who?"

Yan Ruhuo chuckled lightly, "A few of our good neighbors, including the surrounding Holy Hall Civilization."

Ning Fengyuan's lips twitched, smiling but not quite smiling, "They've taken the initiative to contact us? Let me guess, is it because we've begun to reach out to the world beyond the wilderness?"

Yan Ruhuo smiled, "From the current situation, it seems they have made contact with the Nine States earlier than us, but they never shared this with us in the past millennia. Now that they know we've also stepped into the domain of the Nine States, they can't stay put any longer."

Ning Fengyuan murmured softly, "Being behind means being looked down upon. This saying never goes out of date, regardless of the era."

Yan Ruhuo nodded in deep agreement.

The Federation has been established for ten thousand years, and the lineage of the Supreme Grandmaster has never been interrupted.

But only today did those so-called "good neighbors" with alliance mutual assistance treaties truly begin to take them seriously.

Because they finally touched the "reality" of the world.

"How is this exchange battle arranged?"

"This time, including us, there are a total of four civilizations. From the True Seed to Heavenly Person, there are five battles for each realm, and the competition format is round-robin."

"No Grandmasters?"

"Actually, no..." Yan Ruhuo said with a helpless smile. At the Grandmaster level, they are truly the foundation for the Federation.

"They want to test our depths, and we also want to test theirs. For this battle, there's only one requirement from above: to win!"

"We must win, absolutely win, and win without any doubt!"

"We will respond to those 'warmth' of good neighbors with our Yanhuang Federation's unique enthusiasm!" Yan Ruhuo declared sharply.

Ning Fengyuan nodded, "So, you came to the Four Guardian Stars to find some Bright Moon Martial Artists?"

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Since this generation's Arrogant Sun has not yet been determined, it is natural to select from among the Bright Moons.

"Yes, there's one spot still vacant, and I was hoping to seek your counsel, Elder Ning. You've been stationed on the Four Guardian Stars all this time; do you have any young Martial Artists in this generation who catch your eye?" Yan Ruhuo asked with a smile.

Ning Fengyuan pondered, "When is the exchange battle?"

"If it's the True Seed Realm exchange battle, it's in a little over a month."

"I see." Ning Fengyuan thought for a while, "That should be enough time for that lad. Count him in. His name is Ji Jingqiu."

"Ji Jingqiu?" Yan Ruhuo's gaze flickered, "I've heard his name recently too, but isn't it a bit too soon? Is he considered part of the Bright Moon now?"

"More than enough." Ning Fengyuan considered. Given Ji Jingqiu's special technique, which is either Divine or something else, even the Bright Moon of the past two years would suffer against him.

And there's still one more month.

With Ji Jingqiu's rate of growth, he was very curious as to what heights this Ji Jingqiu would reach in a month.

Yan Ruhuo considered, "Since it's Elder Ning's recommendation, I will add him."

From his current understanding, Ji Jingqiu was still somewhat distant from the top ranks of the Bright Moon.

This had nothing to do with talent, purely because the time he had been practicing was too short.

However, since Elder Ning had high hopes, it was worth adding him. According to the information they currently had, just the top three alone should be enough to secure the True Seed Realm exchange battle.

"Hmm, who are the other candidates?"

"Yan Dongshun, Wan Cheng... they are all Bright Moon Martial Artists from the past two years, no older than twenty."
