On Tianyu Peak, Chu Yun was practicing swordsmanship with Mo Heng. Mo Heng suppressed his cultivation level, and the two sides fought back and forth, but in the end Chu Yun was unfortunately defeated.

"I won't fight anymore. You won't even give in to me." Chu Jun puffed up his cheeks in anger. He had already been defeated three times today.

"You're being unreasonable. You haven't been home for a month. If I hadn't asked Xiao Hei to call you, I don't know when you would have come back." Although Mo Heng said this, it was more of a complaint. Seeing the boy's face puffed up, he took the initiative to blame himself and quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, you're about to advance to the Golden Core stage. I'll make you a new sword then."

Chu Jun's eyes lit up. He was good at everything except using fire. Whether it was making medicine, refining tools or cooking, he always failed. So these were usually prepared for him by Mo Heng.

Now that he had a new sword, Chu Jun naturally stopped being angry. Although he was in the wrong first, he would be arrogant because of his favor.

Seeing that he had coaxed the child, Mo Heng breathed a sigh of relief. He just couldn't bear to see him unhappy.

"Xiao Hei! Pino! Come here!" Chu Jun was happy and didn't care about losing the sword. He called the cat and the dog to play on the top of the mountain.

In the world of cultivation, a cat and a dog certainly couldn't stay by his side as ordinary pets. Fortunately, both of them had divine power in their bodies, so they could disguise themselves as spirit beasts and follow Chu Jun.

The fifth elder of the Wuji Sect was skilled in beast control and had once taught Chu Yun. One day, he taught Chu Yun a spell that could summon spirit beasts. Chu Yun used this as an opportunity to make Xiao Hei and Pino manifest, allowing them to stay by his side as his spirit beasts.

On the day of the summoning, the fifth elder was nearby. At first, when two spirit beasts appeared on the summoning circle, the elder was very excited, but when he saw that it was just a kitten and a puppy, he was a little disappointed. The spiritual power fluctuations of the two cubs were weak, and although their species could not be seen, they were not beasts with great potential. They were ordinary and had no special features.

When the spiritual energy entered Chu Jun's body, it caused a resonance between heaven and earth, and the five divine beasts all came to congratulate him. The elder thought that Chu Jun might be able to summon the divine beasts, but the reality made him a little disappointed. However, he turned around and thought that Chu Jun already had such a deep talent in formations and talismans, and he could not be expected to be proficient in everything.

However, the fifth elder still felt strange. Logically speaking, Chu Jun had wood spiritual roots, and his spiritual affinity was so strong that he should attract more powerful spiritual beasts. The stronger the spiritual affinity, the stronger the spiritual beasts attracted. This was an unchanging truth for thousands of years.

What the elders didn't know was that Chu Yun's summoning circle did attract a divine beast, and it was even the top divine beast in the plane, but it was chased away by Xiao Hei and Pino on the way, and the two of them fell into Chu Yun's summoning circle as they wished.

The contract between the spirit beast and its master has too close a cause and effect relationship.

According to the contract of this world, if Chu Yun, the master, dies, his contracted beast will not survive.

Chu Jun is destined not to ascend. When he leaves this world, what will happen to his spirit beast?

Therefore, Xiao Hei and Pino are already the best choices, and there is no need for those spirit beasts to die innocently because of themselves.

Xiao Hei still dislikes Mo Heng as always in this plane, but it is much better than in the previous plane. At least when he calls someone, they will still give him face.

Chu Jun had probably figured out that as long as that strange thing inside Mo Heng remained, Xiao Hei would be very resistant to him. Therefore, Xiao Hei was now a perfect discriminator. The fact that Xiao Hei wasn't resistant to Mo Heng now indicated that the thing in this dimension no longer had much influence on him, which was also good news.

With the rich experience of the previous plane, Pino was now able to play the role of a spirit beast with ease. He nestled on Chu Yun's shoulder like an ordinary cat demon.

Chu Jun and Xiao Hei were playing around when Mo Heng received a letter from the Sect Leader. He opened it and took a look before saying to Chu Jun, "Next year is the Immortal Sect Competition, a competition that only happens once every two hundred years. Do you want to participate?"

"Immortal Sect Competition?" Chu Jun really didn't know much about it.

"It's jointly organized by the five major sects and four major families. It's considered one of the grand events in the world of cultivation. This year, it's held in Sunset Valley and includes three levels: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. The sect leader wrote to me, hoping that you would participate in the Foundation Establishment competition."

“But Master, I may break through to the Golden Core stage at any time. It’s not a good idea for me to participate in the Foundation Establishment stage competition.” Chu Jun said this with his hands on his hips, looking like a proud little kitten.

"Then join the Jindan stage." Mo Heng said as he stroked the kitten's furry head.

Mo Heng knew Chu Jun all too well. Chu Jun was still full of youthful vigor. His words weren't a sign of rejection, but rather a sign that the Foundation Establishment group was no longer a challenge for him. He wondered what the point of joining would be; he might as well go to the Golden Core group and gain experience. In fact, Mo Heng felt that if Chu Jun wasn't at the Nascent Soul stage, he would have wanted to go to the Nascent Soul group and fight head-on with the other Nascent Soul cultivators.

In this vast world of cultivation, the five major sects and four major families are at the pinnacle of power. They each occupy one side, live in peace with each other, and perform their duties.

However, despite the apparent calm, in reality, the competition never ceases. To inspire the fighting spirit of their disciples and to allow them to truly feel the huge gap between themselves and the powerful in other sects, the major factions would periodically jointly hold a grand Immortal Sect Competition.

Such competitions are not held randomly, but have strict time regulations.

Every ten years, a competition for Foundation Establishment cultivators would be held; and every fifty years, a competition for Golden Core cultivators would be held; as for the top Nascent Soul cultivators, they would have to wait a full two hundred years before they would have the opportunity to participate in a competition.

The results of these competitions were crucial, as they directly affected the future allocation of resources among the various sects. In a sense, the Immortal Sect Competition was a different kind of resource scramble, and therefore each sect and family attached great importance to it.

This Immortal Sect Competition was particularly important to all factions. This competition coincided with the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages being held in the same year. This competition, held every two hundred years, was a truly grand occasion. Countless cultivators hoped to make their names known throughout the cultivation world through this competition. Gaining followers would be beneficial to their cultivation.

Therefore, this year's sect competition was more lively than in previous years. Both inner and outer sect disciples signed up enthusiastically, and the number of participants increased by 30% compared to previous years.

Even young disciples who don’t have the chance to win first place hope to get a chance to compete with fellow Taoists from the same sect through internal competition.

Here, when mentioning the Immortal Gate Competition, we have to talk about the An family. The rise of the An family is an excellent example of a cultivator using the Immortal Gate Competition as a stage to make his debut in the world of cultivation.

A thousand years ago, An Mu, the ancestor of the An family, defeated numerous disciples from other sects in the immortal sect competition and took first place in the Golden Core stage, becoming a household name. He later achieved the Nascent Soul stage before the age of 500 and became a powerful spirit, earning him a certain degree of fame in the world of cultivation. The cultivation resources he acquired also enabled the An family to rise to prominence among cultivation families.

However, the world of cultivation is cruel and unforgiving. Even though he had already reached the state of Divine Transformation, he unexpectedly died in a secret realm, leaving only the younger generation of his family behind. The sudden death of the ancestor left the An family without protection, and the family treasures became coveted by outsiders. The An family made many efforts to save everyone's lives.
