After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

A martial arts arena.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the place was packed with people. The person presiding over this conference on the high platform was Elder Yan Qing from the main peak.

To encourage the disciples and to show the sect's respect for them, the sect leader, peak masters, and elders also sat on one side of the high platform.

"This competition is for Qi Refining stage disciples. The top fifty will qualify to enter the Initial Sun Secret Realm. The competition will be one-on-one. During the competition, it must be stopped when the opponent is defeated. No one may kill or damage the opponent's foundation. No one may use anything other than what they know. If poison is used, an antidote must be prepared in advance..."

After explaining the rules, an array was activated, and one hundred martial arts arenas appeared in the center of the training ground, with an elder acting as referee next to each arena.

The first 100 to step into the ring were their opponents, and the 200th person was their opponent.

After the disciple went on stage, an isolation array was raised, so no sound could be heard from inside and the disciple would not be affected by the outside world.

Chi Yina's number is towards the back, on stage number eighteen, so she has to wait five rounds before it's her turn.

After Elder Yan Qing announced the start, the disciples on the arena took out their weapons and began to fight.

Not long after the competition began, the sect leader and the peak masters left one after another, while a few elders remained seated to continue watching.

Seeing this, the disciples watching relaxed a bit and mostly chattered around the hundred arenas.

Chi Yi was the same; she was watching Yan Ruyue's match with others on the arena with Qin Feifei.

"Xiao Yi, you and Ru Yue are at the same cultivation level, both at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. I wonder who is more powerful between you?"

Qin Feifei asked with a curious expression.

"Feifei, you reminded me. Come to think of it, we haven't competed yet. If we face each other in this grand competition, we'll know." Chi Yi's face was full of eagerness.

Qin Feifei was someone Chi Yi and Yan Ruyue met when they went to Danfeng to learn alchemy.

Although Yan Ruyue is the female lead and cultivates quickly and learns a lot, I am not bad either!

At this moment, Yan Ruyue had already forced her opponent to the edge of the arena, and with a final, fierce sword move, she swept the Qi Refining Level 9 disciple off the stage.

Yan Ruyue stepped down from the arena and came to their side.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Ruyue asked.

"Who's more capable, you or Xiao Yi?" Qin Feifei replied.

Yan Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "Hmm~ Let's compete next time."

Chi Yi nodded in agreement, "We'll talk about that later. Fei Fei, you've reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, are you confident you can make it into the rankings?"

Qin Feifei's smile instantly turned into a worried expression. "It's hard to say. This competition is different from previous assessments. Not to mention that there are no fewer than a hundred people with cultivation levels up to the tenth level of Qi Refining, I am originally a pill cultivator. Although the sect requires pill cultivators to learn self-defense skills, how can my swordsmanship compare to theirs, which are mainly focused on attack? Sigh~"

"Don't be discouraged, just do your best. If you miss this secret realm, there's always another one." Chi Yi patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Qin Feifei nodded, "You're right, it's almost my turn. Let's go over there."

The three of them then went to another arena together.

……

sunset.

On the arena, Chi Yi bowed to the disciple opposite her and said, "You are too kind to me!"

The other party returned the greeting and then stepped down from the arena.

Since there was another competition tomorrow, Chi Yi went back to rest and recuperate.

But his mind was still preoccupied with how to help Shu Rou escape death during this secret realm trial.

According to Yan Ruyue's recollection in the story, after the competition, Shu Rou and a Nascent Soul elder would lead fifty disciples to the entrance of the secret realm. However, on their return journey, they were ambushed by evil cultivators. The elder was lured away from the mountain, and Shu Rou, a Golden Core cultivator, not only had to deal with the evil cultivators of the same cultivation level as her, but also had to protect a group of junior brothers and sisters. In the end, she sacrificed herself to delay the arrival of reinforcements. However, her junior brothers and sisters were also seriously injured, and some even had their foundations destroyed, making it impossible for them to cultivate immortality again. It can be said that the casualties were heavy.

Later, Yan Ruyue fell in love with Cheng Chaoyin. The evil cultivator actually told the male lead that the female lead was jealous of Shu Rou and deliberately injured Shu Rou, which led to her death. This misunderstanding was huge!

The crucial point is that this foolish male protagonist actually believed it!

Then it was another period of agonizing torture!
