The disciples here have calmed down and no longer followed to watch.
However, the sect leader and several elders were in an uproar. The sect leader was surrounded by several sect leaders from other sects who bombarded him with questions, refusing to let him off the hook.
"Hey, Zhou Bai, you've kept this a secret well, even we were kept in the dark." The Valley Master of Sun and Moon Valley stepped forward teasingly to pour tea for the Sect Master, wanting to find out more.
"Exactly! Are you trying to use the White Dragon as a dark horse to win first place in the Golden Core stage competition? It's been a few years, and your schemes are getting more and more sophisticated." The Vermilion Bird Sect Master said slyly, glancing at the White Dragon on the disciple platform in the distance, wishing he could kidnap it!
The name of his sect is very meaningful, as it is associated with the ancient mythical beast Vermilion Bird, and can be said to have been created by the descendants of Vermilion Bird.
Unfortunately, the Vermilion Bird went extinct long ago, forced to perish along with the White Dragon from ten thousand years ago. Now, the Phoenix Clan has taken its place.
Their sect is facing quite a difficult situation.
"If your Heavenly Mystery Sect wins first place in both the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, that's quite a grand scheme, Chen Zhoubai. I didn't expect you to be so cunning," the Xuanwu Sect, the perennial runner-up who doesn't get along with the sect leader, mocked.
Now, the sect leader was truly in a difficult situation, drinking tea with a long face, not daring to speak.
It's no wonder that some sect leaders felt that the Heavenly Mystery Sect had ulterior motives. After all, the grand competition held every hundred years not only affected the sect's ranking and reputation, but also determined how the sect would attract more talented disciples to join it in the future.
At the same time, and most importantly, there are a once-in-a-century opportunity to unlock a large number of rich and secret realms.
The once-in-a-century secret realm is bound to have a limited number of places, and it is basically monopolized by the disciples of the top ten sects with their own formidable strength.
Every year during the grand competition, quite a few disciples foolishly try to showcase their flashy moves, creating a very "harmonious and loving" scene, but in doing so, they miss out on valuable opportunities. The chances are given to the more aggressive disciples, while many others, with their exceptional talent and dazzling skills, qualify.
Therefore, all sects and independent cultivators must go through a sect competition to determine the number of people who can enter each time the secret realm opens.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect didn't participate last time, which gave the Profound Mist Sect, who had been second for ten thousand years, a chance to win first place. Because of this, the sect leaders of the two sects would always exchange sarcastic remarks whenever they met.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect has long had Wei Wenru, ranked first among newcomers. She is exceptionally intelligent and talented, and her every appearance is stunning. Moreover, it is rumored that the Heavenly Mystery Sect possesses several top-grade treasures, especially a celestial artifact passed down from the White Dragon ten thousand years ago.
Legend has it that it is a long sword.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Mystery Sect has taken in a disciple named White Dragon! This is what's truly infuriating. Not only do they have so many outstanding disciples, but they also take in homeless children everywhere.
Yes, it's that weirdo Yuheng who picks up kids every day, and by sheer coincidence, he picked up a little white dragon and raised it as his daughter.
This guy is insane!
It's really strange if any elder in a clan picks up children every day, especially since it's a peculiar hobby among dragons.
Why can't they encounter such good things!
Only the sect leader of the Guixu Sect remained silent, sitting to the side drinking tea with the other sect leaders who were watching the show. In fact, they were quite envious and jealous, but they didn't say anything!
Seeing that their sect leader remained silent and unwilling to respond, the group realized they were being frivolous and could only continue watching their disciples compete.
The competition usually only takes two days to complete. Today is already the final moment, and it's dark. We just need to rest for one night and then go straight to the final moment the next day.
As night fell, a thick black fog swept across the sky, only returning to the crescent moon that had been obscured when it was completely absorbed by one person.
Tomorrow is destined to be extraordinary.
······
Early in the morning, all the disciples waited near the Tianji Sect, just to see if the White Dragon would reveal its true form.
However, they were disappointed again. The little white dragon never revealed its true form and always remained in the shape of a child. It was usually either clinging to the number one student or in the arms of a senior sister or brother, and sometimes it was even eating like crazy.
Everyone: How come he's different from the legendary White Dragon? He's weak, pitiful, and greedy, but when he's on the field... well, how should I put it, he's an extremely brave physical cultivator.
Isn't that a weirdo too?
Are there any truly normal beings among their dragon race?
Oh, that's probably gone now, since there haven't been many dragons appearing.
Soon, Nian Wanzhou faced her last two competitions, one against two disciples, vying for first place in the Golden Core stage competition, which attracted widespread attention.
When Nian Wanzhou took to the stage, she still relied on her fists to decide the outcome. No matter how powerful her opponents were, whether they were sword cultivators, talisman cultivators, or alchemists, she only knew how to tough it out and beat them up in the past two days of competition.
Something seems to have changed today.
For example, in order to finish the battle quickly, the White Dragon actually summoned a thundercloud.
The talisman cultivator opposite was struck by lightning that descended from the sky, a strike as terrifying as a tribulation lightning strike, leaving him scrambling to dodge.
One wrong move and you'll be struck and charred black. Even the most powerful lightning talismans are utterly helpless in the face of this natural lightning strike.
"Is this the advantage of the dragon race? Thick hide, the ability to summon thunderclouds, and immense strength..."
"It's simply defying the heavens, so why did she choose to become a physical cultivator? I just don't understand."
"Exactly! Wouldn't it be better to be a sword cultivator with that ability? What was she thinking, focusing on body cultivation!"
Some people are even frustrated and disappointed, unable to understand why Xiaobailong treated them as body cultivators, and can't get over this hurdle.
Could it be that outstanding people all enjoy challenging themselves?
Actually, Nian Wanzhou chose to become a body cultivator simply because she felt it suited her; there was no other reason, really.
Amidst the roar and discussions, Nian Wanzhou emerged victorious once again, knocking her opponent Fu Xiu off the stage again and leaving him unconscious to be carried away.
When the final competition came, she realized something was wrong.
Wisps of black mist drifted through the air; though very little, they did not escape her eyes and senses.
Nian Wanzhou hurriedly informed the sect leader of this discovery.
She ran quickly to the sect leader and whispered in his ear, "Sect Leader, something terrible has happened. There's black mist appearing in the arena. It seems someone else has been manipulated."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader was horrified and exclaimed, "It actually appeared! Can you sense whose it is?"
Nian Wanzhou shook her head: "Not yet. After the last incident, the black mist has become smarter and is now hiding very well. I only saw a wisp of the black mist."
The sect leader frowned deeply. This was truly a difficult matter. None of the people here could handle the black mist, let alone eliminate it.
"You continue the competition and try to finish it as soon as possible. I will arrange for the evacuation of the personnel with the sect leaders."
"Okay." Nian Wanzhou agreed and continued to the competition.
As expected, the thing I was most worried about still happened.
