Immortals Step into Heaven

Zheng Yuan's eyes were full of anticipation as he stared at Li Zhe, waiting for his answer.

At this time, Li Zhe smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, it's not difficult to register. If Junior Brother Zheng is willing to participate in the sect competition, I can help you register."

Zheng Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. He quickly took out twenty low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Li Zhe, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Li. These spirit stones may not be many, but they are a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept them."

Li Zhe looked at the spirit stone handed over by Zheng Yuan, was slightly stunned, then smiled and waved it and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. I can't accept this spirit stone."

Zheng Yuan insisted on giving it to me and said, "Senior Brother Li has helped me so much. This little bit of spirit stone is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

In the end, Li Zhe couldn't persuade Zheng Yuan and had to accept the spirit stone. He smiled and said to Zheng Yuan, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Zheng, I will definitely help you with the registration. Just prepare well for the sect competition. I look forward to your good performance in the competition."

Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your kind words. Zheng Yuan chuckled.

Li Zhe smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, you're too polite. Junior Brother Zheng, come directly to Danqing Valley Square in a month. The sect competition will be held there then." He looked at Zheng Yuan gently, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for this grand event.

This sect competition is unlike any other in the past. Elites from every valley will be attending, so you must prepare well. Danqing Valley Plaza will undoubtedly be bustling with activity, with forces from every valley gathering. This will be your chance to witness the action.

Li Zhe frowned slightly and continued to remind, "However, the competition will be extremely fierce, so you must not take it lightly."

Don't worry, Senior Brother Li. I just want to witness the sect competition. I won't force it if I can't win a ranking.

Junior Brother Zheng had a pretty good idea. Almost all of the sect's Qi-cultivation Perfection brothers had signed up for this competition. They all wanted to stand out in the competition, either for the Yunlong Sect's secret realm or for the rewards. The competition was fierce, and it was likely unprecedented.

However, this is also a rare opportunity for others to hone their skills. After all, only when fighting against the strong can one know their own shortcomings. Although you don't aim for a ranking, you can still observe carefully from the sidelines. Such opportunities are truly rare.

Pay close attention to your fellow disciples who don't usually show off their prowess; they might unleash unexpected skills during a competition. Capturing the subtle nuances of their moves while watching from the sidelines can greatly benefit your own cultivation. Furthermore, the situation on the field is ever-changing, and there are many tricks involved in escaping difficult situations and exploiting advantages.

If you can learn a thing or two from this, you will have more ways to deal with dangers or challenges in the future.

During the Grand Competition, masters from every valley gather, bringing with them a wide variety of magical weapons. Some of these weapons can enhance spiritual power, while others can defend against attacks. Studying their effectiveness in actual combat may provide insights for selecting or refining magical weapons in the future.

This sect competition is like a treasure mountain full of treasures. It depends on how many useful things you can dig out from it.

You have to know that the unique body movements displayed by those strong men during combat are like nimble phantoms. The skills of controlling the coordination of magic power and body contained therein can make your movements more agile if you can comprehend them.

Furthermore, if you carefully observe their combination of different techniques when responding to situations, you might be able to create your own fighting style. Even a small glimpse of this treasure trove of sect competitions could be a lifesaver on your path to cultivation.

Thank you Brother Li for your guidance. I am grateful for your advice.

Junior Brother Zheng, there's no need for formalities. We're fellow disciples, so mutual advice is only natural. This sect competition is a rare opportunity. If you can gain something from it, your future path of cultivation will be smoother. Remember, observe with your heart. Don't be misled by the dazzling appearances; grasp the essence. Only then can you truly benefit from this competition.

Junior brother, I have made note of this. Zheng Yuan said with a smile,

Zheng Yuan chatted with Li Zhe for a while before leaving the mission hall. His figure gradually faded away in the sunlight, but his thoughts were still lingering on his conversation with Li Zhe.

After returning to the alchemy room, Zheng Yuan immediately retreated to practice. The alchemy room was filled with a faint medicinal aroma, and the surroundings were so quiet that only his steady breathing could be heard. The life-or-death struggles of this period had solidified Zheng Yuan's cultivation. Those experiences on the brink of death seemed to have become a catalyst for his internal mana, making every ounce of it strong and pure.

Zheng Yuan also wanted to take advantage of the month to see if he could improve his cultivation further. He knew that in the upcoming sect competition, stronger cultivation meant more possibilities.

A month passed quickly, and Zheng Yuan arrived at the Danqing Valley Plaza. It was bustling with activity. A high platform, presumably the seat of the sect's senior master, the headmaster, and others, stood aloft. Ten arenas also towered, resembling miniature battlefields. Thousands of Qi Refining cultivators gathered there, the din of voices mingling with boisterous conversations and excited shouts. Most were simply there to watch the excitement, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. After all, only those who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining could participate in the sect competition. These strict rules added a touch of mystery to the contest.

There are about 800 cultivators who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining in the sect. The probability of selecting the top 100 disciples is 8 to 1, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is.

But this was merely a probability. After all, there were over a hundred cultivators within the sect who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage. These elite individuals loomed large over everyone, making the competition even more unpredictable. Zheng Yuan stood in the crowd, gazing at the faces, some nervous, some confident, and his heart ignited with boundless enthusiasm for the upcoming competition.

Zheng Yuan saw Liu Pingping, Zhang Xueyue, Tang Shishan and others in the crowd, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He pushed through the crowd and quickly came to Liu Pingping and others. Long time no see!

Zheng Yuan greeted them with a smile, his eyes scanning the faces of several familiar friends. Liu Pingping was still as gentle and charming as ever, Zhang Xueyue exuded a sense of cleverness, and Tang Shishan had a simple and honest face.

Liu Pingping looked at Zheng Yuan and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Zheng, are you also coming to participate in the sect competition?" Before Zheng Yuan could answer, Zhang Xueyue blinked her big eyes and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zheng must be here. He has been very good recently. Maybe he can shine!" Tang Shishan smiled slightly and said in a muffled voice, "Yes,

Junior Brother Zheng, if you meet me in the ring, don't show mercy.

Zheng Yuan laughed and said, "I'm just here to see it for myself. I don't have as big ambitions as you guys, but if I meet you, I will definitely do my best."
