After the beast tide incident, things seemed to have calmed down within the sect. Although Ling Qi was still investigating who was targeting the True Origin Sect, he hadn't found any information. Even the cultivator Lin Feng mentioned encountering couldn't be found anywhere; the other party had cleaned up the mess very well.
You You had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. He then added several safety awareness classes for his disciples, emphasizing the precautions they needed to take when going out for training, in order to prevent similar problems from happening again.
The disciples, burdened with heavy coursework: "..."
Regarding the previous suspicions that someone was targeting the woman, no information has been found, and even the number of missing women has decreased significantly. It's unclear whether the person behind it has become aware of their investigation, or for some other reason, but everything seems to have calmed down, with no progress whatsoever.
The True Transformation Sect resumed its intense daily training routine until…
"The Immortal Sect Grand Competition?" You You was stunned. "There's such an event?"
“Yes, Sect Master!” Ling Qi explained, “Every hundred years, the top sects organize a grand immortal sect competition, and almost all the famous disciples of the immortal sects go to participate. This is also an opportunity for each sect to make a name for itself!”
"Do all the immortal sects have to participate?" You You asked.
Ling Qi nodded. "Although only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can participate in the battle, it concerns the reputation of each sect, so generally no immortal sect would give up this opportunity."
Although this is a competition between disciples, it is also the only opportunity for each immortal sect to openly and fairly demonstrate their strength in front of all other sects. The strength of the disciples also signifies the strength of the sect. Therefore, the results of the competition are the unspoken ranking of the immortal sects.
Although the True Evolution Sect had previously wiped out the Demon Cave, few immortal sects acknowledged their strength, mainly because they had never participated in the Immortal Sect Competition. Since the other sects had never witnessed their power, they naturally regarded them as a low-ranking immortal sect.
"So, we still have to participate in this competition?"
“This is a rare opportunity. If we don’t participate this time, we might have to wait another hundred years,” Ling Qi explained. “Besides, I think our sect has the strength to compete.” Although the disciples in our sect have not been cultivating for as long as those sects that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years, their strength has indeed increased a lot since Qiu Zhang came to teach. In particular, Shui Yan and the others have the strength to compete with the top immortal sect disciples.
"Alright, let's go join the fun!" You You nodded. Participating in such a world-class competition was definitely worthwhile. Rankings were secondary; the main thing was to give the disciples some combat experience. "Where is the time and location of the competition?"
"The time is in ten days," Ling Qi replied. "As for the location, it's not far; it's right at the Mingxin Sect!"
"The Mingxin Sect?" You You was taken aback. "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
“Mingxin Sect and my sect are both located in the Southern Mirror of Immortal Marsh. They are the most famous top-tier immortal sects in the Southern Mirror and have the responsibility to protect other immortal sects,” Ling Qi replied. “Sect Master, do you still remember that it was Mingxin Sect that notified my sect about the opening of the Moon Sea Secret Realm back then?”
"Oh." You You then remembered that if the Mingxin Sect hadn't told them about the Moon Sea Secret Realm back then, she wouldn't have met Father Yuan!
With only ten days to spare, selecting disciples for the competition was not easy. Fortunately, they had just finished their final exams, and the sect already had a ranking. So she directly instructed Ling Qi to select the top-ranked disciples to participate.
Since it was her first time participating in the competition, Youyou wanted to lead the team herself. She initially thought it was inappropriate, but after asking Lingqi, she learned that for small sects like theirs, even the Heavenly Maiden would personally go to support them, so there was nothing strange about it.
The Mingxin Sect, also located in the Southern Territory, didn't rush to depart either. It wasn't until three days before the competition that they gathered their disciples to prepare for departure. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Feng Rong, dressed in a fiery red robe, smiling like a flower as she walked towards them. Completely unlike the way she had been bundled up like a ball a few months ago, she stood tall and elegant, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, her robe was slightly open, revealing a small patch of smooth, white skin.
"You turned back so quickly?" Youyou was taken aback, glancing at him up and down. He was indeed a man. He had used up some of his energy to stop the beast tide, which meant his previous seclusion was wasted, forcing him to start over. He hadn't expected to be completely healed now.
"Don't you even know how many months it's been!" Feng Rong snorted, glanced at her, and immediately frowned. "Are you going out again?"
"Hmm." Youyou recounted the events of the Immortal Sect Competition.
Feng Rong's eyes darted around. "Then I'll go with you!"
Youyou thought about it and didn't refuse. The little turkey always remembered how Yuan's father had caused him to transform into the wrong gender. Now that he was out of seclusion, if she wasn't in the sect, she might start fighting with Yuan's father. It would be good to take one of them away to divert attention.
So he took the participating disciples directly onto the flying boat and headed towards the Mingxin Sect.
Feng Rong was as flamboyant as ever, especially after reverting to his original form. Every move he made seemed to exude a natural aura, and even his features appeared more refined than before, with ethereal beauty that made him unforgettable. You You couldn't help but frequently turn back to look at the person beside her, her gaze constantly lingering on his slightly open collar.
Perhaps she had seen it too obviously, because the little turkey couldn't help but straighten up, his eyebrows and eyes becoming even more raised, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. Sure enough, she still preferred him in men's clothing, so she looked back at him with a bit of smugness, with an expression that said, "Now you finally know I'm good-looking." She deliberately leaned closer, narrowed her eyes slightly, and whispered, "Do you like what you see?"
