"Interesting, are you sure this is the young disciple of Cangnan Zhenren?" A man with white hair and a youthful face sitting on the main seat in the magnificent hall asked with interest.

In front of him, the image projected from the photo stone finished playing again.

The man had a playful smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.

In the center of the hall, a figure in a black robe knelt on the ground respectfully. After hearing the man's question, he lowered his body a little more.

He replied respectfully, "Master, the information is correct. I have seen her disciple token with my own eyes. I am definitely not mistaken."

"Hehe..." The man sitting on the seat laughed softly, and there was an elusive meaning in his laughter.

The kneeling man seemed startled by the sudden laughter. His body shook violently and he lowered his head even lower, as if he wanted to hide himself completely.

The entire hall fell into a brief and eerie silence, with only the echo of the man's laughter reverberating in the air.

"If I remember correctly, the competition among the various sects is about to begin?" the man blurted out.

Another voice suddenly rang out in the empty hall, sounding like a woman's. "Yes, Master, the competition will be held in three months~"

"Oh? I remember it seemed like there were still three years left."

The man raised an eyebrow and looked in one direction.

"Master~ You are so busy on weekdays, so of course you remembered it wrong. I clearly remember it was three months later~" A bright red figure suddenly appeared within the man's sight.

She has a graceful figure, a waist so slender that it seems as if it can be held in one hand, and affectionate eyes, which makes her charming and attractive.

Like a gentle breeze, it floated to the man's side in the blink of an eye.

"I see..." The man stretched out his arm, grabbed the woman's arm, and pulled her into his arms. His other hand gently stroked the woman's cheek, and said in a calm tone: "Then pass the order. The competition will be held in three months. As for the secret place of the competition, just choose that place. What do you think, my beauty?"

"Of course I listen to the master~"

......

On the Xuanzhen Continent, the concentration of spiritual energy is decreasing.

So much so that every hundred years, each sect would hold a grand competition.

The outcome of this game will directly determine important matters such as the future sphere of influence of each sect and the distribution of secret realm resources.

In the competition a hundred years ago, the Tianqing Sect barely squeezed into the top ten and finally ranked ninth.

With this achievement, the Tianqing Sect gained ownership of three large main cities and twenty-one small cities.

All the precious resources in these areas, such as the secret ruins, monster forests, etc., belong to the Tianqing Sect.

In addition, if there is a secret realm that has been identified as the master's, it will also be under the management of the sect.

However, there is an additional condition. The Tianqing Sect needs to open three days to other sects for free every year, but the number of places for each sect is limited.

Of course, the focus today is not this, but the sect competition mentioned earlier.

Su Zi, Chu Xingchuan, Gu Yanli, Chu Xingzhi, Lu Wan'er and ten other young disciples were standing respectfully, listening attentively to the long speech of the head of the Tianqing Sect in front of them.

After they came back yesterday, they were summoned here early this morning and learned that the sect competition that was originally scheduled to be held three years later was actually moved forward by three months!

What is even more surprising is that the venue of the competition is not somewhere else, but in the most remote main city of the Wendao Sect - Zhanlong City.

To get there from Tianqing Sect, even for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, it would take several days of flying at full speed.

Taking into account the long and arduous journey, the headmaster and the elders discussed and decided to set off three months in advance. This way, when they arrive at Zhanlong City, they will have nearly half a month more time to rest and prepare for the battle.

The disciples sent by the Tianqing Sect to participate in the competition were those who were under 30 years old and whose cultivation was at the Jindan stage or below. Therefore, Li Qingchen and Bai Qingqian, who had entered the Nascent Soul stage, were not on the list.

"As for the specific process of the competition and related precautions, I will explain them to you in detail along the way."

At this moment, standing next to Su Zi and others was a Taoist priest named Ji Yue, who was dressed in black and white. She was the fourth elder mentioned by the master uncle.

Uncle Ji Yue was still dressed the same as when they met in the secret realm. His high ponytail was tied with red satin, and he looked heroic, dashing and neat.

"This competition is extremely important to the sect, but the process is extremely dangerous. I hope that while you win glory for the sect, you must also ensure your own safety." Sect Master Fang stepped forward, patted their shoulders one by one with earnest words, and repeatedly reminded them: "Remember, no matter when and where, you must put your life first. You are the future of the sect."

Hearing this, Su Zi couldn't help but purse his lips, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart.

The scene happening before her eyes was completely different from the immortal cultivation novels she had read in her previous life.

Although this world is full of cruelty and competition, and the law of the jungle is the way of survival, in the sect, their lives are not seen as something that can be easily discarded.

However, what Su Zi didn't know was that this people-oriented and life-cherishing philosophy was merely the purpose upheld by the Tianqing Sect.

This may not be the case in many other sects.

"Okay, everyone, pack up. We will set out on time in half an hour." After the head master uncle finished giving instructions, Elder Ji Yue turned around and gave orders to everyone.

As the team disbanded, everyone returned to their residences to pack up their things.

However, Su Zi was stopped by his own master.

"My dear disciple, I am glad that you took the initiative to participate in the competition. However, there are no restrictions in this competition, so you have to use all your cards to win. Promise me that I will leave you a glimmer of hope even if I have to try my best. Do you understand?" the master said earnestly.

In fact, Su Zi was not included in this list.

After all, she is already a very important person to the sect, but he couldn't resist Su Zi's initiative to sign up to participate, so he had to agree.

Su Zi nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, the eldest senior brother and second senior sister at the side also spoke up.

"Yes, little junior sister, you must put your own safety first and never take risks easily." The eldest senior brother frowned and said with concern.

"Junior sister, I have some defensive magic weapons here, you can take them. You can use them to protect yourself during the trial in the secret realm."

After saying that, the second sister handed over a few magical weapons that were shining with light.

The worried look on his face was no less than that of his eldest senior brother and master.
