Lu Zhouming came to the main hall to report to Su Lin on necessary matters concerning the sect.

He has temporarily taken over Xiao Linlin's duties in the sect. Although Xiao Linlin was extremely unwilling, no one is more suitable to take her place than Lu Zhouming.

Of course, she also repeatedly emphasized that Lu Zhouming could not make decisions on his own, and all matters, big or small, of the sect had to be reported to Su Lin.

Lu Zhouming was obedient; he had only just taken office when he immediately came to give a report.

But Su Lin didn't like doing these things, and waved Lu Zhouming away, saying, "You can make your own decisions about the sect's affairs, just don't mess with Linlin's hard work."

"Of course not."

Lu Zhouming smiled and turned to leave decisively, which suited Su Lin's taste perfectly.

Unlike Xiao Linlin, this man was not meticulous or verbose; he was exceptionally easygoing and didn't talk about anything other than matters of importance.

After Lu Zhouming left the main hall, Su Lin still did not get up.

He had stored up a great deal of inspiration in his Daoist altar and should have gone into seclusion to digest it and pursue a small breakthrough.

However, considering that many key personnel had been transferred from Xiaoyun Temple, Su Lin unprecedentedly delayed his cultivation progress and personally oversaw the work in the main hall.

The matter is left to Lu Zhouming to handle, but if a difficult decision arises, Su Lin will step in.

At the same time, he was also prepared to step in and support Li Xingtian and Xiao Linlin at any time. If anything went wrong in the Immortal Sect Grand Prize, Su Lin had already made the worst-case scenario plan and response.

For seven days and seven nights after the team left, Su Lin remained in seclusion in his main seat, focusing all his attention on guiding his clone and closely monitoring the team's movements.

The Small Clone Talisman Technique is extremely useful. Combined with its unique ability to conceal one's aura, as long as one is far away, even Li Xingtian would not notice anything unusual.

Thirty-eight days after the team left, they arrived at the location of the Immortal Sect Grand Prize, a cultivator city nominally jointly owned by the nine major Immortal Sects.

This city is called [Broken Sky City]. It is extremely grand and covers a vast area. Its interior and exterior are built to an unparalleled degree. Regardless of the season, cultivators from all over the world come here. It can be said to be the center of the world.

During this period, a grand event was taking place, and cultivators from various sects arrived in an endless stream, with all kinds of prodigies emerging. You could almost see many young male and female cultivators with extraordinary bearing and talent just by walking down the street.

"As expected of the immortal sects, the whole world obeys their decrees."

In the group, Huang Yi sighed deeply. Because of his special talent in information positioning, he was specially brought by Xiao Linlin to stand by his side, which allowed him to witness such a grand scene in the city.

In normal times, Duan Tian City already has a large permanent population, which has remained at the level of tens of millions for many years, and now it has reached almost 100 million.

This is an incredibly unimaginable number. No matter where you go in this huge city, you can see an astonishing scene that is almost comparable to an Indian train station: people packed together, head to head, resembling ordinary people going to a market.

But what's more, these people are all cultivators, and all of them are extremely talented!

The world's best talents gather here, making them seem less valuable; they are so numerous they are almost excessive.

"It must be some celestial sect leader with a twisted sense of humor who's deliberately preventing people from flying, making it so crowded."

One of the survivors muttered something, but Li Xingtian glanced at him and reminded him, "With so many people around, it's easy to make a mistake if you say too much."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Huang Yi and the survivors nodded repeatedly and stopped discussing.

The Immortal Sect Grand Prize is conducted in batches, not all at once, and lasts for a whole year. This long-term arrangement also proves the greed of the nine major immortal sects, who are determined to acquire all the best talents from the major sects in the world.

If any sect fails to attend the Immortal Sect Grand Ceremony within a full year of receiving the invitation.

After the Immortal Sect Grand Prize ends, this sect will most likely disappear completely from the cultivator world forest due to some special and unfortunate reasons.

Because of the long time span, Xiao Linlin did not rush to contact and report to the cultivators of the Immortal Sect. Instead, she visited the sect where Tianya Mountain was located as soon as possible.

According to intelligence, the Mimic and Jia Zhengyi have also arrived in Duantian City, a month earlier than the team.

The secret relationship between Xiaoyun Temple and Tianya Mountain is quite interesting even within a small circle of practitioners. Although it cannot be verified, there are still many people who are interested in it.

Xiao Linlin had no intention of hiding this time and went straight to her target, informing the patriarch of Tianya Mountain.

The cultivators in Tianya Mountain of the Immortal Sect had long heard of the name Xiaoyun Temple, and Xiao Linlin met the patriarch without any trouble.

It is worth mentioning that the Immortal Sect has extremely deep potential and foundation. The ancestor's temporary residence is a blessed land built by humans within the city, with a spiritual energy concentration that is hundreds of times higher than that of the outside world.

It is said that the resources consumed to create this temporary grotto-heaven, which is only used once every ten years, are enough to deplete the resources of more than ten major sects.

Each immortal sect has countless such temporary residences around the world, with over 30,000 under the name of Tianya Mountain alone.

Moreover, even the outer disciples of Tianya Mountain who were guarding the summons outside all had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage and were very young, making them geniuses among geniuses.

The team was truly amazed. Not to mention the Tianya Mountain sect's old lair, even compared to this small immortal sect's residence, Xiaoyun Temple was far inferior, like heaven and earth. No wonder Tianya Mountain had never commented on the matter of Xiaoyun Temple.

It's not that their attitude is ambiguous, but rather that there's really no need for it. There are too many sects and cultivation families, large and small, that rely on the Tianya Mountain Immortal Sect. They are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Xiaoyun Temple is insignificant and inconspicuous among them.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the young sect leader, the name of this small sect wouldn't even be worthy of being heard by cultivators of the Immortal Sect.

For three days after entering the cave, until Xiao Linlin's team left the Tianya Mountain camp, everyone's expression was very serious.
