As the day of the sect competition draws closer, the atmosphere in the Hengyang Sect becomes increasingly tense and heated.

The disciples either travel together, discussing their respective cultivation experiences and tactical layouts, or go into seclusion alone, striving to break through the bottleneck at the last moment and win glory for the sect.

Sheng Rao is particularly unique in this wave. She is neither ostentatious nor impatient for success. Instead, she quietly accumulates strength in an almost meditative state.

As Sheng Rao's apprentice, Lin Yu's progress is also remarkable. Under Sheng Rao's guidance, not only has his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, but he has also learned how to use wisdom and strategies to deal with various challenges.

A tacit understanding has been formed between the two of them, which allows them to understand each other without the need for words. This tacit understanding will play a key role in the upcoming sect competition.

The day of the competition has finally arrived.

The location for this sect competition was chosen to be on Tianze Mountain. There is a large villa on Tianze Mountain, and this competition is sponsored by the owner of Tianze Villa.

Before the competition, all the disciples from various major sects who were going to participate in the competition went to the villa to stay in advance.

The same is true for the disciples of Hengyang Sect.

Sheng Rao and Lin Yu walked side by side. The moment they stepped into Tianze Villa, they felt the rich spiritual energy and tense atmosphere all around them.

In the villa, various immortal practitioners gathered together. Some were majestic and impressive, while others were more reserved. The desire for victory flickered in everyone's eyes.

"Master, the aura here is so strong." Lin Yu said in a low voice, with both excitement and nervousness in his eyes.

Sheng Rao smiled slightly, patted Lin Yu's shoulder gently, and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, we just need to do our best and we can handle everything."

After the two checked into the villa, they did not rush to communicate with other sect disciples, but chose a quiet place to continue practicing and adjusting their state.

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu also began their conspiracy and colluded with other sects.

On the day of the competition, the leaders and elders of each major sect first gave a brief opening speech, emphasizing the tradition and significance of the sect competition.

Some sects directly pointed out the matter of Dragon Ball.

"As we all know, the Dragon Ball is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and its power is enough to shake the foundation of the world of immortal cultivation. Today, we gather here not only to exchange skills, but also to witness the supreme treasure that can lead the world of immortal cultivation into a new era - the Dragon Ball.

"A clan leader from a major northern sect spoke in a loud voice with an undeniable authority in his tone. His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more solemn, and many people's eyes involuntarily turned to the direction where Sheng Rao was. There was the symbol of her identity as the representative of the Hengyang Sect, and it was also the focus of the Dragon Ball rumors.

"This sect competition is different from previous years. I suggest that we use the Dragon Ball as the prize for this sect competition. Whoever wins will get the Dragon Ball. How do you think?"

There were even sect leaders who made shameless requests.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Tianze Villa was in an uproar and discussions broke out.

Many disciples of the sect showed greed on their faces. The temptation of the dragon balls was like the ultimate shortcut on the road to becoming immortals to them, which was enough to make any cultivator excited.

However, there are also some people who look worried, knowing full well the crises and responsibilities that may be hidden behind Dragon Ball and are unwilling to get involved easily.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Rao frowned slightly, and glanced around with a sharp gaze, thinking secretly in her heart.

These people are so shameless, do they want to get something for nothing?

Once the Dragon Balls fall into the hands of people with evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. Tsk, these people are really thinking too much.

"Master, what you said is wrong." Sheng Rao stood up. Although her voice was soft, it was clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "The Dragon Ball was obtained by our Hengyang Sect in the secret realm. Setting it as the prize for the sect competition is too childish and may even cause unnecessary disputes and turmoil. Although our Hengyang Sect is not talented, we also know the truth that 'the man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing the treasure'. If someone can really win the Dragon Ball with his own strength, can we guarantee that he will not go astray because of greed?"

As soon as this was said, many elders and sect leaders nodded in agreement. Although the temptation of Dragon Ball was great, the responsibilities and risks behind it could not be ignored.

"Fairy Sheng Rao has a point." A white-haired old man, an elder of a hidden sect in the south, spoke slowly, "The matter of the dragon ball is of great importance and should be treated with caution. People like us who practice immortality should focus on cultivation and enlightenment and should not lose our original intentions due to external things."

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence for a moment, and the leaders and elders of each sect exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, a middle-aged man of high moral character, the owner of Tianze Villa, stood up and broke the silence: "You are all right. The matter of Dragon Ball does need careful consideration. However, the tradition of the sect competition cannot be abolished. Why don't we try a different method, which will not only preserve the original intention of exchanging skills, but also avoid unnecessary disputes."

"What does the owner of the manor think?" everyone asked.

The owner of Tianze Villa smiled and said, "I propose that this time, there should be no specific prizes for the sect competition. Instead, there should be 'A, B, and C' grades. Anyone who performs well in the competition and wins 'A, B, and C' medals will have the opportunity to receive resource support from Tianze Villa and other sects to help them further their practice. As for the Dragon Ball, we can discuss together and find a more appropriate way to deal with it to ensure that it does not fall into the wrong hands."

As soon as this proposal was made, everyone expressed their agreement and the atmosphere became lively again.

Although these people no longer talk about Dragon Balls, they still want to get them openly or secretly.

Sheng Rao is not a fool, she can see those greedy eyes.

Sheng Rao was secretly alert in her heart, but remained calm on the surface. She thanked the owner of Tianze Villa for his suggestion, and secretly thought about how to show the strength of Hengyang Sect in the next competition while protecting the Dragon Ball from falling into the hands of others.

However, the real competition has just begun. The sect competition is not only a test of the disciples' cultivation, but also a competition of the wisdom and strategies of each sect.

Lin Yu stood beside Sheng Rao, feeling the determination and composure emanating from her, and felt more confident.

He must prove himself in this sect competition.

With the rules of the competition determined, the sect competition officially kicked off.

The first round was the preliminary round, which was conducted by drawing lots. Sheng Rao and Lin Yu were arranged in different venues to face opponents from different sects.

Sheng Rao's opponent is a young female cultivator from the Western Demon Sect. She has strong cultivation base and is good at using poison to attack the mind.

Faced with such an opponent, Sheng Rao did not rush to attack. Instead, he used his profound cultivation foundation and superb martial arts to advance step by step, gradually consuming his opponent's physical and spiritual power.

Sheng Rao didn't take it seriously. In her eyes, this female cultivator was just a show-off. When she had almost finished playing, Sheng Rao made a move and knocked the female cultivator out of the field. It was a clean and neat move that won the admiration of the whole audience.
