"Of course, guarding isn't for nothing. The rewards are very generous. In addition to receiving one hundred mid-grade spirit stones every day, you also gain points. Points can be exchanged for various natural treasures, high-level elixirs, weapons, secret manuals, etc. However, the fastest way to earn points is of course to hunt demons. I won't go into details about this. You'll know when the time comes. Come with me to register first."
Wu Minghong led hundreds of people into the magnificent city gate. There was a special monster caravan inside to pick them up. Their arrival did not cause a big sensation. After all, among the four regions, they had the least number of people coming. The other three regions had at least thousands of people. The most terrifying was the East Region, with a population of tens of thousands, which showed how strong it was.
"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the Northern Territory, who came in last place last year, hahahaha!"
Just as they finished the formalities and were about to get on the animal cart, they heard a lot of sarcastic voices behind them.
Wu Minghong had a gloomy face, but he couldn't refute it, so he snorted coldly and turned to walk into the animal cart.
"Why are you leaving so quickly, Old Wu? I haven't seen you for a few years, and while your power hasn't grown, your temper has gotten worse. Hahaha!"
"Zhao Zixuan, it's still uncertain who will win or lose this year. Let's wait and see!"
Wu Minghong angrily let out a sentence, then sighed to the hundreds of people behind him as the beast cart gradually moved away, "That's the leader of the Southern Region. Last time, they came in second place due to a weaker team. He was just saying that in anger. Everyone just needs to perform at their normal level."
It is not difficult to see that Wu Minghong is unwilling to give up, but his strength is there, and this is a situation that is extremely difficult to reverse. Moreover, in the Four Domains Competition, it is not the case that a single person gets first place, but the ranking is based on the total score of the team. The overall ranking will affect the operating rights of the Central City Dan League Head Office in the next ten years. This is an extremely huge benefit. And the most important point is that the last-ranked domain needs to enter the Demon Realm to hunt enough demons, so the Dan League in each domain is desperately training disciples.
In fact, it is not only the case for the Four Domains Alchemy Alliance Competition, but also for other forces as well, it’s just that it is not their turn yet.
Ling Tian naturally doesn't have the leisure to care about these things. He just needs to do his best.
It took nearly three hours to reach the designated accommodation, and a huge eight-story building came into everyone's sight. This was the exclusive garrison location of the Northern Territory and one of the assets of the Northern Territory Dan League in the Central City. However, compared with the other three domains, it was a bit insignificant.
"Junior Brother Wu, are you leading the team this time too?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Zheng, it's been almost ten years since we last met. How is everything?"
"Same old story. Are these the candidates for this year's competition? There are even fewer than last time."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Okay, let's talk about it later. Let's make arrangements for them first."
Wu Minghong led everyone up to the second floor. Someone had already prepared all the identity tokens. After everyone had received them, Wu Minghong said, "The competition is the day after tomorrow. Everyone, take a good rest today and tomorrow. You can also go to the bustling central area to see the world. But remember not to cause trouble. You may be the pride of the world in the Northern Territory, but here it's best to put away your pride. Okay, let's disperse."
After finding the residence and entering the house, Ling Tian felt a slight commotion, which made him a little confused. He walked to the door and saw a beautiful face. He was very surprised and extremely suspicious.
"You won't invite me in?"
"Uh... Saint, please come in."
"You really don't remember me?"
Ling Tian frowned, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anyone who had any connection with her.
"Master, you are a forgetful person. You don't even recognize such a delicate disciple, haha!"
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, looking at her in great surprise, and he stuttered as he shouted, "You...you, you are Cui Mei?"
Li Cuimei glanced at Ling Tian and sat directly on his bed, pretending to be angry and said, "Okay, you've come to this colorful world and forgotten your disciple."
Ling Tian completely ignored her feigned anger. Looking at Li Cuimei, he felt like he'd met an old friend in a foreign land. Memories flooded back, and after a while, Ling Tian sighed softly.
"Cui Mei, you are now the Saintess of the Northern Dan League. You can't speak carelessly, understand?"
Li Cuimei smiled gently, and her original mischievous expression disappeared, replaced by a holy look that was otherworldly.
"Brother Ling, to be honest, I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again in this lifetime. I will remember everything you have given me for the rest of my life."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How did you get here? Are you going to encounter a void beast?"
Li Cuimei sighed slightly as she recalled her past experiences. She recounted slowly, "Five years after you left, I successfully broke through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. I followed the route you left me, searching for the teleportation formation. Along the way, I encountered an unknown void rift, but luckily I survived. Later, I experienced some growth, and was eventually accepted as a disciple by the Alliance Leader. Since then, I've been cultivating within the Alliance."
Ling Tian knew that Li Cuimei had definitely experienced more than just this. As someone who had been through it, he knew the bitterness involved.
"Everything is in the past. By the way, has the Earth changed in the years since I left?"
"It's pretty good. There's a lot of work to be done, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is gradually becoming richer, as if it's slowly awakening. Many immortal cultivators have emerged in various places, and the god worshipped on Earth now is Brother Ling. It seems that you started planning the power of faith a long time ago, haha!"
"At first, I thought I'd just do something since I discovered it. You know, with a remote and sparse spiritual energy like our Earth, and such a small area, even if we develop the power of faith, the effect would be negligible."
Li Cuimei just smiled faintly and did not continue to discuss the matter. The two had not seen each other for many years. In addition, they were both from Earth, so the topics came one after another, and before they knew it, it was already late at night.
"Brother Ling, let's stop here. We can talk again when we have time. I hope you will consider what I just said."
"Okay, I'll consider it carefully."
The scene of Li Cuimei and Ling Tian walking out of the room talking and laughing was seen by a pair of resentful eyes in the distance, and it was easy to see the hatred in her heart from her clenched hands.
"Li Cuimei, you can only belong to me..."
The man looked at the two figures with extreme resentment in his heart and quickly disappeared in the dark night.
The next day, Ling Tian used the teleportation array to leave Beidan Juxian Building early. At this time, he had arrived at the most prosperous area of the central city, the Brilliant Palace.
