"Friend, I go by the name of Zeng Fan Rong and I'm a native of the Ling Wang City. These few people are friends that I've made during my trip and we are on the way to join the Contest. I didn't expect to meet a noble man like yourself here. I've always liked to make new friends. May I presumptuously ask if you, my friend, is also on the way to the entering the Contest Area?"
The few people appeared before Xu Que. The one leading the group was a fair-skinned and chubby youth who appeared to be wealthy. He initiated and sent his greetings to Xu Que with a big smile on his face.
Xu Que slightly smiled and briefly saluted in greeting, "My name is Hua Wu Que and you're right. I am indeed on my way to enter the Contest Area. It's a shame that the information I've received was rather vague and I've lost my way here!"
"So it's Brother Hua. As the saying goes, 'Depend on your parents when you're home but depend on your friends when you're out.' We happen to know how to go to the Contest Area. If Brother Hua don't mind, you can travel along with us!" The chubby young man, Zeng Fan Rong smiled warmly and said.
"Brother Zeng, that's very nice of you. With you unexceptionally good-natured people, being able to travel with you all is my honor."
"We're humbled. At such a young age, you, Brother Hua, have already cultivated to the maximum full foundation of the Golden Core Stage. With your elegant posture and a magnificent appearance, you are seriously a role model of our generation. To be honest, we were deeply drawn by Brother Hua's mighty and handsome appearance which made us rush over to make friends with you."
"You are being too polite my brothers. I'm being over-flattered."
"No no no, Brother Hua, you are too modest!"
....
The confident front that Xu Que put on was excessive. Throwing words of braggery and flattery at one another, it reached a point where their faces were filled with appreciation for one another and they were feeling as if they should have met each other sooner. It seemed like they almost nearly wanted to burn incense papers in a rite to become sworn brothers.
However, in everyone's hearts, they were clear that this was just a facade they had to put on.
The reason they wanted to make friends with Xu Que was because of his cultivation stage.
Xu Que, on the other hand, wanted to use them to lead the way. This way, he would be able to reach the Contest Area to have a look and take the chance to earn some act tough points before his own Heavenly Tribulation starts.
While on the way, Xu Que had gained an understanding of the entire situation about entering the Contest Area.
All in all, there was this big and mighty Sect called Sky Incense Valley and they were receiving new disciples all across the Five Nations.
This activity was being held once every one hundred years. Each time, they would establish a few Contest Areas in each Nation. Those with connections in high places would have naturally received news on it earlier than everyone else and would have a head start in looking for them. If not, those without connections would have to depend entirely on fate.
Zeng Fan Rong and the rest of them were sons of various rich families back in Ling Wang City. However, they too, were not very sure of what will be tested in the Contest Area. In any case, they seemed very excited when the topic of Sky Incense Valley disciples popped up in their conversations.
"Sky Incense Valley had produced a few female Sovereigns and the powers of each of them were out of this world. They possessed very beautiful faces, which could captivate even the birds and beasts of the land."
