The voice continued with a satisfied tone, "Very good, Zhuo Nan, well done. You're truly my disciple. As your reward, you may enter the Space Pagoda to practice spatial laws for 10 years!"

Zhuo Nan immediately rejoiced, "Many thanks, Master!!"

The Space Pagoda was one of the Gold-Grade Treasures within the Holy Heavens. Inside it, there was an abundant source of atmospheric energy, as well as stable spatial laws for a cultivator to comprehend.

If Zhuo Nan could go in for 10 years, it would be equivalent to practicing hard and bitterly outside for 300 years. He was naturally elated.

"Yue Zhong eh? Let me see, where are you now?" The mysterious voice from within the floating mountain sounded once more, as the owner opened his eyes, a pair of powerful and strange eyes that seemed capable of piercing through the heavens.

The pair of eyes suddenly flashed brightly, locking onto Yue Zhong's position, "Found you!!"

At that moment, the owner of the eyes took a step out and tore through space, entering the rip.

On top a floating mountain within the Western Temple, a young man with short golden hair, eagle eyes and hook nose, as well as handsome features had a change in expression. "What?! The image of a howling dragon and roaring tiger?! Such a young heaven-defying genius in a thousand years! We cannot let him go to the other temples!! He belongs to us!" With that, he disappeared.

"Is this the Holy Heavens? Truly extraordinary!!" Yue Zhong stepped out from the gate, and saw a resplendent sight, causing him to sigh.

The gravity on the planet of the Holy Heavens was a hundred times stronger than Earth, and the energy was so much thicker and more vibrant.

The streets were clean, without any dust, and the structures were all maintained well and constructed beautifully. If any of these buildings were placed on Earth, they would easily win any architecture award, putting the most prestigious buildings to shame.

The pavements were wide and many automatic vehicles were floating and traversing, sending the passengers to where they wanted to go.

The transport system was not limited to the ground, as there were all sorts of vehicles floating through the air, according to different layer.s Yue Zhong observed the area carefully and noticed that there were flying carpets, things with mechanical wings, anti-gravity floating vehicles, flying Mutant Beasts, flying foreign species, clouds, etc.

At the same time, there were a number of floating mountains as well as huge, gigantic mechanical forts, giving the Holy Heavens a sense of wonder.

As Yue Zhong was observing the surroundings, the space beside him suddenly split open, as a young man in a green robe, with short hair and decent looks, stepped out.

Yue Zhong saw the man and his body became tense. He retreated a few steps and stared at the man warily, "Type 9 powerhouse!! This fellow is a Type 9 powerhouse!!"

The man had an appreciative look as he spoke, "Ah, to be able to tell my strength and make the appropriate response. Not bad! Truly a talent that can produce the fabled image of the howling dragon and roaring tiger. Kid, I'm Tian Duo, the Holy Lord of the Central Temple. I can tell that you have a bright future, and am here to invite you to be my disciple. With my pointers, as long as you join us and complete the test to be a Holy Son, you can become one of ours. Without my guidance, if you were to join other temples, you will have to start from the bottom, and slowly accumulate your contribution. It would take at least 5 years to complete the rest."

Within the Holy Heavens, with the 5 main temples as the bases, the Heavenly Lords were all at least peak Type 9 half-God powerhouses. Below them were the Holy Lords at the Type 9 realm, and below them, the Holy Sons at the Type 8 realms. Underneath the Holy Sons, there were a few Type 8 Elders who worked hard but had no way of breaking through. Below the Elders, there were Holy Sons-in-Training. Below them were the Divine Envoys, followed by the Divine Envoys-in-Training. After that were the Divine Servants, followed by the Divine Servants-in-Training. After that were the Ordinary Members, followed by the Ordinary Members-in-Training.

Yue Zhong's current identity was an Ordinary Member-in-Training. If he were to become a Holy Son, without anyone to recommend him, he would have to start from the bottom, continually completing missions and accumulating points. After reaching a certain level, then he would be able to raise in rank.

With Yue Zhong's current high-Type 8 realm, although he could quickly complete them and rise through the ranks, it would still take up some time.

Yue Zhong quickly made his decision, asking sincerely, "It is an honor to receive your invitation. Dare I ask Master, what are the customs to recognizing one as a Master? I'm not entirely sure about the traditions and customs here."

Yue Zhong had originally intended to join the Northern Temple. However, the fact that this Holy Lord Tian Duo came to invite him personally, it was giving Yue Zhong a lot of face. He was not someone who did not know how to reciprocate, therefore, he made the decision.

Right at this time, another spatial tear happened, as a golden-hair, hooked-nose man stepped out and barked out, "Hold it!!"

The man's gaze was electrifying, as he stared at Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, I'm from the Western Temple, Holy Lord Ursula. I admire you a lot, and I'm here to invite you to join our Western Temple. Accept me as your Master. As long as you join us, I will do my best to propel you to become a Holy Son within the shortest possible time. I can even grant you the authority to cultivate for 100 years within the Space Pagoda."

Inside the Holy Heavens, although all 5 Temples share the same goal in defending against external forces, there was sure to be internal strife and a disparity in strength.

The Heavenly Lords of all 5 Temples were all engrossed in discovering and comprehending the secrets of the world. Unless it came to a situation where the whole of humanity was at risk, they would be spending most of their time cultivating.

Like this, the strength of the 5 Temples depended on the other Type 9 powerhouses.

Among them, the Central Temple had the most Type 9 powerhouses. Their strength was also the strongest, and the resources the most abundant.

Although the number of Type 9 powerhouses within the Holy Heavens was not particularly high, there was still a difference of 3 powerhouses between the Western and Central Temples. If the Western Temple could pull Yue Zhong over, they would decrease the distance in the future.

Holy Lord Tian Dou frowned and asked, "Ursula, I was here first, how can you try to snatch a person in front of me?"

Ursula shot him a disdainful glance, "Tian Dou, there's no first come first serve. Yue Zhong can make the choice. It is his freedom."

Holy Lord Tian Dou's expression sunk as he frowned. He was intending to offer even better conditions. After all, compared to a future Type 9 powerhouse, a few conditions were nothing much.

If it was not for the strict rules of the Holy Heavens, Holy Lord Tian Dou would have promoted Yue Zhong to a Holy Son instantly.

Yue Zhong then bowed to Holy Lord Ursula, his voice apologetic, "Holy Lord Ursula, I'm so sorry, but I've already agreed to Holy Lord Tian Dou to join the Central Temple and accept him as my Master. I appreciate your intentions."

Ursula revealed a look of regret and pity, as he sighed, "What a pity, a pity!! I was late by just that much."

"Since I'm already here, it could be considered to be fate as well. Here's a communication talisman, with this, you can contact me directly." Ursula took out a talisman and threw it to Yue Zhong, before he clapped his hands and tore through space, stepping into the spatial tear.

Ursula was an intelligent man. Although he did not manage to pull Yue Zhong over, he still left with favorable feelings. If Yue Zhong could become a Type 9 powerhouse, who knows, they might become friends.

Yue Zhong, "Thank you, Holy Lord Ursula."

Holy Lord Tian Dou looked at Yue Zhong, his impression of him getting better by the second. His gaze then swept to Aisha beside Yue Zhong, and he could not help but frown, "Who is this woman? How come she's only at the Type 4 realm?"

These few days, Yue Zhong had also made use of some resources to push Aisha to the Type 4 realm.

Yue Zhong quickly explained, "Master, she is my woman, and has yet to reach the Type 5 realm, hence she can only make use of the temporary card to travel with me."

Holy Lord Tian Dou waved his hands, tearing a hole in space, "Those who are not yet in the Type 5 realm cannot join a Temple. I will arrange for her to be trained in a camp. Come with me."

"Yes!" Yue Zhong replied, before turning to Jody apologetically, "Sorry, Jody, I've joined the Central Temple."

Jody smiled warmly, "No worries. Joining the Central Temple is even more beneficial to you. When you make it big, don't forget this old friend."

"Of course!"

Yue Zhong laughed, and turned, bring Dong Yu Yao and the rest through the spatial hole.

Looking at Yue Zhong's disappearing back, Lina's gaze turned complicated, as she spoke with a lowered voice, "He's gone."

Jody's gaze also turned complicated as he sighed, "In the end, he's not of the same mold as us. It's understandable that he'd leave."

Lina kept quiet.

At this moment, space ripped apart again, as a beautiful woman stepped out, her long golden locks flowing till her waits. She looked at Jody and her brows arched, "Jody, where's the young man who had caused the image of a dragon and tiger?"
