Besides, sitting on the high platform were a series of unfamiliar Purple Mansion stage stewards.
As Sect Leader Shen finished speaking...
From the rear, a group of stewards appeared, almost all of them powerful cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage. Most of them were inner sect stewards, promoted from senior disciples. A smaller number were Purple Mansion stage cultivators wearing white robes embroidered with cloud patterns, clearly disciples of the main lineage, presumably there on summoning missions.
There were a total of fifty cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, each landing in front of one of the arenas.
Although there are a hundred arenas in total, they are all prepared for the inner disciples in the Qi Refining stage. After all, if there are too many people and too few arenas, wouldn't it take a long time to complete the competition?
Currently, due to the limited number of experts at the Purple Mansion stage, it's just right to open fifty arenas. Being able to mobilize fifty protectors is already extremely difficult; even ordinary large forces couldn't mobilize so many Purple Mansion cultivators at once!
However, fifty arenas are more than enough. They don't even have five hundred people, so it will only take five rounds at most to finish this competition. Only the first round will take a little longer.
Lin Xiuyuan's token was engraved with the number eighty-six, which meant he was going to play in the first round.
Just before going on stage, Lin Xiuyuan felt a cold gaze, like needles piercing his back, making him feel a chill.
Lin Xiuyuan turned around and saw a woman sitting cross-legged in the crowd, looking at him with a cold expression and hateful eyes.
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her calmly and then looked away. He wasn't surprised that she was participating in the competition. She had already reached the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and it was already very slow for her to break through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.
Of course, it's possible that they participated in the first round but weren't selected?
However, this possibility is unlikely. The other party's family background is not simple. Even if he has just broken through and his inherited true techniques are weaker than those of other disciples of the same realm, as long as he has a rare treasure or a large number of spirit talismans, it will not be a problem for him to be among the top thirty.
A scion of such a prestigious family would naturally possess such methods. Unless they were there to ambush him, but of course, that possibility was extremely slim. He really didn't believe it under the nose of a Purple Mansion stage cultivator.
Most of them had only just broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment before this major competition.
That's a bit slow, probably due to the influence of the Dao Heart?
