Chapter 3: Entering the Holy Land

Chapter 3: Entering the Holy Land

The morning sun cast a golden hue over the Holy City of Beginning, illuminating the streets filled with an air of celebration. Red banners still adorned the Han Manor, and the fragrance of fine wine lingered in the courtyard.

Inside the bridal chamber, Han Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the rush of Spirit Qi coursing through his meridians. His breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm was still fresh, and with it came a newfound clarity—his body was stronger, his senses sharper, and his mind more attuned to the energy around him.

On either side of him, Luo Xin and Luo Jin were also adjusting to their own advancements. Their delicate brows were furrowed in concentration as they absorbed the last remnants of last night's cultivation gains.

After a while, Luo Jin opened her eyes and looked at Han Ye with admiration. "Husband, what exactly happened last night? How did our cultivation improve so quickly?"

Han Ye chuckled. "Let's just say… after sixteen years of waiting, fate finally smiled on me."

Luo Xin tilted her head curiously. "Could it be that Husband has awakened a special physique?"

He simply smiled without answering. He wasn't ready to reveal the Supreme Dao Companion System just yet.

Suddenly—

KNOCK! KNOCK!

A respectful voice came from outside.

"Young Master, the Holy Land's selection ceremony is in two hours. The family head requests your presence in the main hall."

Han Ye's gaze turned serious. Today was an important day—his official entry into the Holy Land of Beginning.

He turned to his wives. "Let's prepare. From today onward, our real journey begins."

Han Manor - Main Hall

The grand hall was filled with members of the Han family. At the center sat Han Tian, Han Ye's father and the patriarch of the family. He was a middle-aged man with a dignified aura, dressed in an embroidered blue robe. Beside him stood Han Ye's mother, a graceful woman with a noble bearing.

As Han Ye and his wives entered, Han Tian nodded in satisfaction. "Ye'er, the day has come for you to enter the Holy Land. This is an opportunity that we have spent years preparing for. Do not waste it."

"I understand, Father," Han Ye replied firmly.

His mother, Madam Xu, stepped forward, gently adjusting his robe. "Take care of yourself, my son. And take care of Xin'er and Jin'er as well."

Luo Xin and Luo Jin lowered their heads respectfully. "Yes, Mother."

Han Tian then gestured to an elder standing beside him. "Elder Zhou will escort you to the selection grounds. Follow his lead."

"Yes, Father."

With that, Han Ye and his wives left the manor, stepping onto the path that would determine their future.

Holy Land of Beginning – Outer Sect Selection Grounds

The Holy Land of Beginning was a vast sect known as the ruler of the South Region. Its towering mountain peaks stretched into the clouds, and countless disciples could be seen practicing martial arts in designated training fields.

At the base of the sect, a massive stone platform was set up for the outer disciple selection ceremony. Hundreds of young cultivators had gathered, each one hoping to secure a spot within the sect.

Han Ye, Luo Xin, and Luo Jin stood among them, attracting their fair share of attention.

"Hey, isn't that the Han family's young master?"

"I heard he only has average talent. Without his family's wealth, he wouldn't even be here."

"But those two brides of his… their aura feels strong. Are they already at the Spirit Sea Realm?"

"Hmph, he's just relying on his women!"

Han Ye ignored the whispers. He knew that in this world, only strength mattered. If he wanted to silence these doubters, he would have to prove himself.

At that moment, a deep voice echoed across the field.

"The selection ceremony will now begin!"

A powerful elder in a golden robe stepped forward. His aura was immense—far beyond anything Han Ye had ever encountered. He was at least at the Dharma Image Realm!

"I am Elder Mo of the Outer Sect. All participants must undergo three trials. Those who pass will be accepted as outer disciples of the Holy Land of Beginning!"

Han Ye's eyes sharpened.

His journey to the top was about to begin.
