Apart from the sleeping Azure Sky and the wind spirit that controls space without a physical form, all the other small contracted beasts have come out.
As soon as Xuan Guang emerged from the space, he went straight to the plates of sliced meat on the table.
As soon as the slices of meat entered his mouth, Xuan Guang excitedly spun around in circles, exclaiming, "Delicious!"
It used to live in the sacred land of the Western Regions, and always wanted to taste human food, but unfortunately it never had the chance.
Now, following its owner, it is finally eating the human food it has been longing for. The taste is more peculiar than it imagined, but it is delicious.
"A little turtle?" Yu Qiqi poked its colorful turtle shell. "What a beautiful turtle shell!"
"What turtle? I am a divine turtle, human. Watch your words," Xuan Guang corrected him sternly.
"Still a proud and arrogant turtle... a divine tortoise." Yu Qiqi smiled and corrected herself, playing along perfectly.
Luo Wanyin teased the carp in the fish tank, saying, "It's actually a koi."
"Xiyan, we don't have any food for koi here. Should I go and buy some more?"
"I want to eat fish," Ah Li said eagerly, her eyes fixed on the fish on the table, her gaze shining as she swam around in the water.
Yao Yao stood on Ruan Xiyan's shoulder, obediently waiting for Ruan Xiyan to feed her.
"Sister Yan, are these all your contracted beasts?" Lin Muze asked in surprise.
“These are Xuan Guang and A Li. I’ll take this opportunity to introduce them to you. You already know Yao Yao.”
"Sister Yan has so many contracted beasts, I admire her to the point of worship." Lin Muze exclaimed.
Is this really the number of contracted beasts that an ordinary person could possess? Sister Yan's mental strength is truly terrifying!
Since Feng Ling couldn't leave the space, Ruan Xiyan sent some food inside.
"Yaoyao, come eat here." Lin Muze beckoned to Yaoyao and tempted her with food.
Yao Yao flapped her wings and flew to a dish of peanuts, then lowered her head and started eating them, one after another.
Ah Li kept swallowing the grilled fish until his belly swelled up. He then let out a satisfied burp and lay back in the fish tank.
They gathered together, chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves immensely; the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In a desolate area of the cultivation continent, a black coffin lay there.
A man dressed in black robes suddenly sat up from the coffin, and carefully took out a red fish scale from his robe.
Shi Ke looked at the glowing fish scales on his hand and was extremely excited. He could sense the presence of the carp. The carp was on this continent.
After so long, we finally have news about Li'er.
~~~~~~
Since the competition between the various forces was about to begin, Ruan Xiyan only stayed at Tianyu Sect for a few days before heading to the competition venue with the people from Tianyu Sect.
The venue for this competition is a secluded and dangerous place.
The secret realm appears on the continent every five years, and the various forces have agreed to use this secret realm for a competition.
This secluded place is perfectly natural, which also prevents some human intervention and cheating.
Each secret realm opens for one month. After one month, the secret realm will close and disappear from the continent again.
Those who do not leave the secret realm before it closes will be trapped inside until it reopens.
The secret realm is full of dangerous and unknown things; to put it nicely, we've been trapped inside for five years.
But everyone knew in their hearts that being trapped inside was almost certainly a dead end, and they wouldn't be able to wait for the next opening of the secret realm.
Because of the sect competition, a large number of people have already gathered outside the secret realm.
Led by Sikong Jian, the disciples of Tianyu Sect arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.
Ruan Xiyan surveyed the surrounding forces; there were quite a few that had come.
On the cultivation continent, there are about a dozen mid-level forces that are well-known, and there are even some mid-level forces that are just guarding their own small territory and have little presence.
There are more than twenty factions in total.
These forces are all vying for a place in the top five.
Apart from the sect leaders and elders who led their disciples to participate in the competition, the rest were disciples who met the requirements of the secret realm and whose bone age was under twenty-five.
These disciples must number in the tens of thousands.
The Tianyu Sect's performance in competitions over the years has been unsatisfactory, and its status has declined repeatedly.
To outsiders, it was a foregone conclusion that he would fall out of the top five in this competition.
So Sikong Jian chose an inconspicuous corner to stand in, wanting to keep a low profile.
Even so, it's still inevitable that people will have their eyes on her.
A sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from all around, "Oh! Isn't this the Heavenly Feather Sect? You've been sitting in the top five for so long, have you figured out how to vacate your spot yet!"
"I'm really sorry, but this time the position of your Tianyu Sect will be taken over by our Four Confucian Sect."
An old man with a mocking smile appeared.
"The top five positions aren't easy to sit in. You four Confucian scholars should sit in them first before showing off," Sikong Jian retorted bluntly.
His tone wasn't threatening; he was stating the facts.
The top five positions are coveted by numerous forces below, so we must be constantly vigilant and avoid making any mistakes, otherwise we could be pulled down at any time.
The declining Tianyu Sect is a prime example.
In recent years, the Four Confucian Schools have changed their old ways, their power has grown rapidly, and their domineering behavior has demonstrated their strength.
They usually dominate Tianyu Sect in every way.
Therefore, it is generally accepted that in this sect competition, Tianyu Sect will give way to the rising Four Confucian Sect.
Although everyone knew about this matter, no one chose to kick it while it was down, after all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Even though the Tianyu Sect has declined, it was still a sect that had been among the top five forces for many years. It's not something that just any force can challenge.
Of course, the Four Confucian Sects were not afraid, nor were they in the slightest afraid of the power of the Heavenly Feather Sect.
Having been suppressed by the Tianyu Sect for so many years, they are finally able to turn the tables and vent their anger, so they must show off properly.
Even though the secret realm competition hasn't started yet, the Four Confucian Sects are already feeling smug.
It seemed that one of the top five positions must belong to the Four Confucian Schools.
However, given the current momentum of the Four Confucian Schools, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the position of one of the top five powers is practically theirs for the taking, so such boasting is understandable.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" The sect leader of the Four Confucian School sneered.
"I want to see if your Tianyu Sect can hold onto the cultivation resources you've swallowed over the years now that you're no longer in the top five."
"Do you think it will be completely divided up by other forces? When that happens, we, the Four Confucian Sects, will definitely come to watch the show and see how pathetic your Tianyu Sect looks." Cao Niang turned and left.
He led the four Confucian disciples behind him to squeeze to the front of the secret realm.
