A month will soon be over, and during this month, each peak of Yanjian Sect has selected people to participate in the sect competition and has divided into teams.
For unknown reasons, on the day of the team division, Yan Baibai and Lu Wuxiu were naturally divided into a group. The other teammates included Yang Kuan from Fugui Mountain, Nianshu from Cangshu Peak, and Qi Wuyi from Sifu Peak. The captain of this group was Shi Lidan from Cuidan Peak.
The sect competition rules stipulate that participating disciples must be in the Jindan stage under the age of fifty and in the Yuanying stage under the age of one hundred. There's no specific number requirement, as some sects might not be able to muster the required number. However, there is a limit on the number of participants. For a large sect like the Yanjian Sect, if all eligible disciples participated, the entire secret realm would likely be filled with Yanjian Sect members. What chance would anyone else have of competing for the treasures?
As for why the minimum cultivation level required for cultivators participating in the sect competition is the Jindan stage, it is not as simple as because cultivators above the Jindan stage have a higher survival rate in the secret realm. The real answer is because of - the communication jade token.
In Yan Baibai's words, the communication jade token had the same function as a modern mobile phone, and only cultivators at the Jindan stage or above could activate it. After entering the secret realm, the various sects used the communication jade tokens to communicate with each other.
Although the ability to transmit sound through the air exists in the world of immortal cultivation, it requires considerable mental effort and is limited by distance. Most cultivators only use this skill in relatively safe situations, as transmitting sound through the air significantly reduces a cultivator's perception of the outside world, making it unsuitable for use in secret realms.
After leaving Hanbing Cliff, Yan Baibai received a jade communication token from the sect. It already contained the contact information for his senior brothers and sisters on Yucang Mountain. Now, Yan Baibai's token also included a large group for the sect competition and a small group for his own team. After a month of training, everyone would discuss the day's experiences in the group every night...
Today, the large training ground of the Yanjian Sect was no longer filled with the usual regular shouts and the sounds of swords breaking through the air while dancing. Instead, it was replaced by noisy sounds. The training ground was bustling with people, and a large ship was hovering majestically in the air several feet above the training ground.
"quiet!"
A powerful threat echoed from the center of the training grounds. Everyone in its path shut their mouths, and the entire place was so deafening that one could hear a pin drop.
Le Jiandaojun cleared his throat and flew into the air.
"Today, everyone is here to see off the sect's senior brothers and sisters, as well as junior brothers and sisters, to participate in the sect competition. If you have anything to say, please hurry up now."
"Lord Sword Dao, the secret realm for the sect competition ten years ago was Qianhua Wanxiang. So which secret realm will be the venue for this year's sect competition?" A disciple couldn't help but ask immediately.
"This secret realm is a brand new one. Because it was discovered in the Five Fingers Mountain, the world of immortal cultivation now calls it the Five Fingers Mountain Secret Realm. The world of immortal cultivation sent a team of people there before, and seven-tenths of them returned. There were traces of living creatures living there before, but that team did not find any living creatures." Le Jian Daojun replied.
"Mr. Lu Jiandao, how will the winner be determined this time?" someone asked immediately.
"This hasn't been released yet. You'll know when you see the jade projection." Le Jiandaojun waved his hand. "Does anyone have any other questions?"
Yan Baibai explained that the jade projection was like a modern television, except everyone was watching live. When the competition began, it wasn't just the major sects that were watching, but also independent cultivators from the immortal cultivation world and large cities with the necessary conditions.
After all, in this era, there are so few things that can entertain people. The sect competition held every ten years is a good opportunity for the immortal cultivation world, which has been peaceful for a long time, to compete for honor, fame and fortune. But for those who are far away from the immortal cultivation holy home, it is a good opportunity to learn about the sect and the immortal cultivation.
Every year, the gambling houses of the mortal world are at their busiest at this time, as many people come to bet on their favorite sect to take first place. Some will become rich overnight because of their winning bets, while others will never see their favorite sect take first place, leaving the world with regret and instructing their descendants that if their favorite sect takes first place, they must burn a message to the underworld to inform them...
"Lord Sword Dao, will our Yanjian Sect take first place this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent again. No one knew if it was bad luck or for some other reason, but Yanjian Sect had already won the second place for three consecutive times. As the saying goes, things never happen more than three times. If Yanjian Sect only won the second place this time, the title of "eternal runner-up" would really be engraved on Yanjian Sect!
"Ahem, well, since everyone doesn't have any questions, let's all say farewell to our Yanjian Sect members!"
Le Jiandaojun doesn't dare to say any big words now. If he says something wrong, he will be punished by heaven. Last time, he almost had a demon in his heart because he said some inspiring words!
Next, cheers, shouts, and whistles filled the entire training ground, and those who were selected to participate boarded the spacecraft under everyone's expectant gaze.
Perhaps it was because Yucang Mountain could still function normally without Chanyu Daojun, but she was always a member of the Yanjian Sect's team of elders in every sect competition. This time, Gui Daojun was also leading the team. As the elder of the main peak, he should have been unable to spare time, but this year, he was leading the sect's team, so perhaps he should be relieved.
