Since his soul consciousness has been injured, why bother not to show his soul consciousness wantonly, first, for fear of his secret being exposed, and second, for fear that his soul consciousness will be injured again. After all, the soul consciousness that hurt him is mysterious and powerful, and his breath still has a strong sense of strangeness, so I don't know who else is staring in the dark in this He family.

Although he didn't dare to reveal his soul sense at will, he could use his soul sense to find out his own situation as he pleased.

He bothered to use his soul sense to perceive the mysterious forbidden book, but he found nothing. However, the soul consciousness imprint of He Ku was engraved on the mysterious forbidden book, and the word "bitter" slowly appeared before the word "Dao" on the cover.

"This book is so spiritual, that it knows why I am bitter. If my sister comes to engrave the brand, then this book will not become a 'honey road'. He couldn't help but smile, but the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

"Whoever obtains this book is baptized to determine the path, and based on your talents, the path of cultivation will be the path of suffering. A soul thought appeared in He Ku's mind.

"What? The Way of the Cross is my path, not my name. Master, I have been gifted since I was a child, and my cultivation is smooth, so why do I have to say bitterly!"

"After reading the book for more than ten years, I finally let the book sentence me on a path of cultivation and asceticism, who will I talk to about it. ”

He bothered to complain in his heart, naturally, there was no response.

"What about the path of suffering, I will eventually step on this path of suffering, and the cultivators of my generation should not let others determine their future, and they should overcome all the hardships and hardships before they can achieve something. ”

Why bother but quickly become open-minded, after all, I have read many anecdotes, and no strong person can look at the world without hardship, novels are written like this, and I can't become the protagonist. He took care of himself and immersed himself in cultivation.

After the family reunion, He Ku rarely showed up. A few days passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, the provincial selection was approaching.

The provincial selection is for the imperial selection three years later, and only the top 100 young monks selected by each province can go to the imperial capital to participate in the final selection, and only then can they have the opportunity to compete for the place to enter the imperial palace to practice.

The Dongming Empire is a family empire. There are countless families in the entire empire, and the families that can be called families are all strong and powerful in the family.

All the cultivators of the Dongming Empire relied on various families to survive, either as children of the main branch of the family, or as a member of a high-class family.

There are also hierarchies in the family, and ordinary families are not enough to be called a family.

Taking the He family as an example, because there are several powerhouses in the Yunhai Realm, they can be based on this Ten Thousand Heavens Province and enjoy the reputation of the Ten Thousand Heavens He Family.

The He family is already the strength of a second-class family, which is enough to become the top force in the provinces.

And if there are only one or two families in the Yunhai Realm, they can only barely be called third-class families.

However, if there is a strong person in the family without obstacles, he can immediately rank among the ranks of the first-class family, after all, the value represented by the top cultivators is self-evident.

As for the royal family, it is the top family of the empire, there are countless in the Cloud Sea Realm, and there are also several in the Unobstacle Realm.

There are even rumors that there are still peak powerhouses in the Heavenly Realm among the imperial family.

Therefore, being able to pass the imperial selection and enter the palace to practice is almost the dream of all cultivators. This also makes every selection, the young people of the entire empire are fascinated.

The imperial selection is held every four years, and all cultivators under the age of twenty can participate, while the provincial selection is held three years in advance, and the requirement is that the age is not more than seventeen.

For the provincial selection, the states under its command are also actively selected. There is also only a limited number of places in the states that can participate in the provincial selection, but the capitals of the provinces are not included in this list.

In the provincial capitals, almost all of them are many second-class families, and these families account for half of the provincial selection, and almost all cultivators of the right age will participate in the selection, and there is no need to worry about the selection quota.

Often, after the selection of the imperial capital of the empire is over, many states throughout the empire begin to select and prepare for the selection of provinces in the coming year.

The He family, as one of the top families in Wantian Prefecture, the capital of Wantian Province, naturally does not have to worry about the selection quota, and all disciples under the age of seventeen can participate.

For this provincial selection, fifteen-year-old He Ku, seventeen-year-old He Mi'er, and sixteen-year-old He Feipeng He Feiyu will participate.

Speaking of which, several people are all the people of the year in this Ten Thousand Heavenly Prefectures, after all, they will inevitably attract attention if they are backed by the big tree of the He family.

In addition, the He family also has many school-age side branch disciples and foreign disciples who will also compete for the provincial selection quota.

However, everyone's attention is still on the core four. This time, the provincial selection, the bigger attraction is still in the competition of the young juniors of several major families in Wantianzhou.

The strength of the four of them has already broken through to the eighth order of the Mortal Realm. In the eyes of everyone, getting a place to go to the imperial capital is just a matter of hand.

What's more, what will happen in the final ranking. This will not only be linked to the final reward, but also involve the face of each family.

There are countless families in the Ten Thousand Heavens Province, but most of them are third-class families, after all, the powerhouses of the Cloud Sea Realm can be regarded as top-notch combat power.

As for the second-class families of Wantian Province, the most famous are the four major families of Wantian Prefecture.

The four great families of Wen, Ming, He, and Xie represent the families of Wantian Province, and the competition between them has never stopped.

And the younger generation, Wantian Sijie has also become famous in recent years.

Witch Wensheng, the rich son will appear tomorrow, why bother the scholar, thank you for the gun idiot. These four people are the leaders of the young people in Wantianzhou, and they are also the current representatives of the four great families.

In Wantian Province, the names of the four of them represent the strength of the four great families, and the talent and future of the four great families.

The four have different personalities, the little princess of the Wen family, Wen Sheng, has a hot temper, is rude and willful, and is called the little witch.

And the Ming family is famous for its outstanding financial resources, so the son of the Ming family, who spends money extravagantly, will now have the name of the rich son tomorrow.

Xie Guo, a disciple of the Xie family, has practiced guns since he was a child, and his marksmanship is superb, and his cultivation is all in the gun, and he is crazy about practice, so he is called a gun idiot.

As for what is the pain, the world thinks that he is indifferent and does not care about the world, and painstakingly only reads holy books, so he is called a scholar. In fact, only those who are familiar with He Bitter know that he is just too lazy to deal with others, and he is extremely afraid of trouble, so he uses books as a loan all day long, and he is silent, but in the eyes of others, he is a scholar.

Despite their fame in Wantianzhou, the four never really fought each other.

He Ku is even more reluctant to participate in this turmoil, although he is as famous as the other three, but has nothing to do with the other three, in He Ku's opinion, it is just a false name, after all, it is a trouble.

The closer to the day of the selection, the more lively Wantianzhou becomes.

People from the rest of the states of Wantian Province came one after another, either to participate in the selection, or to watch the grand occasion, and the entire Wantian Prefecture was unprecedentedly lively.

Although the selection has not yet begun, all the excitement is rendering the atmosphere for this grand event of Ten Thousand Heavens Province.

The streets and alleys are full of all kinds of information about this provincial selection.

There are various legendary stories discussing the Four Heroes of Ten Thousand Heavens, there are dark horse performances in other states, and there are rumors about how rich the rewards are this year.

The alleys of the city, which are usually empty and deserted, have become the venues for all kinds of hawkers.

As for the already bustling streets, they are now even more crowded.

All merchants know that the quadrennial event is also their best opportunity to make money, so they enthusiastically promote it.

The casino has already opened, predicting various rankings, the popularity of the four heroes is high, and the odds change alternately. There are also dark horse amazing odds, which cause panic in casinos.

As for the stores that sell news, they are selling dark horse information from other states, as well as various materials and power rankings, and business is booming for a while.

Behind the excitement, there is the competition between the various families, and it is also the various families that are fueling the flames, inciting the people of the entire Wantian Province to focus their attention on this Wantianzhou and focus on these Tianjiao this year.

The prosperous Wantianzhou not only drives the overall popularity, but also promotes the development of Wantianzhou, many merchants make a lot of money, and the four major families are also taking advantage of it.

Under this kind of prosperity, Tianjiao's appearance is very popular.

Wen Sheng, the little princess of the Wen family, appeared in the city, which attracted everyone's fascination, but she was scolded by the little witch for blocking the way.

And Caizi is also happy to enjoy this excitement tomorrow, and almost every day he can be seen holding different girls in his arms, touring the city, looking like a prodigal son.

The gun idiot Xie Guo also showed up, but as a bodyguard, he followed behind a girl in a white dress and veil, and rumors suddenly spread, and the identity of this woman caused everyone to talk about it.

In today's noisy city, only one of the four heroes of Wanzhou has never shown his face, so why bother.

At this time, He Kuo still stayed in his room calmly, quietly flipping through the books in his hand, and the novel was reading with relish, and he didn't seem to feel the upcoming selection, nor did he know the noise outside.

He Ku's door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure appeared.

"Nerd, what else are you watching?" the voice was soft and warm but pretending to be stern, and then he muttered, "What is there to see." ”

"Reading can calm the mind, cultivate oneself, cultivate one's nature, and ......" He Ku never looked up, and his eyes did not even leave the book.

A pile of information was slapped on He Ku's book, interrupting his words, and then he raised his head and said with a flattering look: "Of course it's not as good as my sister."

Who else could this woman have besides He Mi'er, who was a little dissatisfied, and when she saw He Ku acting like this, she also burst out laughing. Only He Mi'er, who gets along day and night, knows that this guy is not an honest scholar, just a bad boy who is afraid of trouble.

He Mi'er turned her head and put away her smile: "I know how to read books all day long, do you care about the situation of the selection!"

"No, it's too much trouble. He Ku shook his hand and said lightly.

"Look at it, several authoritative rankings have ranked you in the third or even fourth position, and Xie Guo is now firmly at the top of the list!" He Mi'er looked a little anxious.

"It's okay, it's too much trouble. ”

"The He family was swept away from the top four by the dark horse last time, and fell to fifth, and was laughed at for several years. How about you serve a snack this time!"

He Mi'er's tone became more and more dissatisfied, and even a little scornful.

"It's okay......"

"It's okay to be big!" Without waiting for He Ku's words to finish, He Mi'er smashed all the things in her hand at He Ku, and then slammed the door and left.

He Ku was already in a mess in front of him, sighed lightly and shook his head: "Alas, why bother, troublesome things......"
