Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

In the past, it was either a one-on-one duel or a group battle, and at least a hundred people would be ranked, and then rewards would be distributed.

As it turns out, this time, judging from what the Demon Sect Master said, it seems that only the top ten are considered?

What about the reward? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?

Many people are quite confident in their abilities; they don't think they can compete for a top-ten finish in a competition involving all three schools of martial arts.

Or rather, many people are simply there for the reward of ranking around 100th.

It seems... things are going to be tough for me now.

However, Mo Wentian's next words rekindled their confidence in fighting.

"Since this is a competition, there should be some prizes. We can't let you young demonic cultivators come for nothing. This time, the prizes will be provided by my Moon Worship Demonic Sect."

The winner must fight ten matches in the ring and achieve ten victories.

You will receive two thousand spirit stones and a fourth-grade spirit treasure. And the ten who ultimately stand on the arena will receive even greater rewards, personally distributed by me!

Two thousand spirit stones is no small amount.

A fourth-grade spiritual treasure is extremely attractive to ordinary rogue cultivators of the demonic path and ordinary disciples of the demonic sects.

A good spiritual treasure can greatly enhance combat power.

Then, the battle between the demons and the immortals officially began!

Ten hours, almost a whole day has passed.

However, in terms of the duration of the fight, it wasn't actually that long.

Two Golden Core cultivators with similar strength could actually fight for several days if they were to be cautious and serious.

After all, the amount of spiritual energy at the Golden Core stage is already enormous.

Although there weren't many Golden Core cultivators in this competition, there were still quite a few.

But that kind of battle only occurs when the two sides are evenly matched.

Therefore, ten hours is not a short time.

Although the competition had already begun, no one volunteered to jump onto the stage.

In the morning, one must persevere in the ring for an even longer period.

Once you stand on the arena, you will be subjected to a series of attacks, constantly depleting your spiritual energy, until the ten hours are over, or until your spiritual energy is exhausted and you are knocked off the stage.

This principle was understood by all the demonic cultivators present.

Nobody wants to suffer this loss.

So, for a time, no one went on stage.

However, this scene did not last long.

Soon, someone was the first to leap onto the ring.

That person was not a true disciple of any of the three sects, and his strength was only at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, which was quite ordinary.

Upon stepping onto the stage, this person clasped his hands in a fist salute to those around him and said:

"...Ladies and gentlemen, I have no intention of occupying the stage. I only wish to exchange skills with you all and broaden our horizons. Please show mercy when you step onto the stage, and let's stop when we've each made a move."

As soon as he said that, everyone knew what he was up to.

They call it a friendly sparring match, but all they want is to win ten matches and claim the reward of two thousand spirit stones and a fourth-grade spirit treasure.

However, such behavior is undoubtedly a very smart choice.

Knowing that one's strength is insufficient, why fight to the death? It's better to know when to stop.

Soon, someone with similar strength came up to challenge him.

The two fought back and forth, and it looked quite convincing, but in reality, they were both holding back and not planning to expend too much spiritual energy.

This practice was quickly imitated, and people took turns going up on the ten arenas to start fighting.

There wasn't a single Golden Core cultivator involved.

Looking at this scene, Ji Nanbei understood the intricacies involved.

In fact, he was not afraid of a battle of attrition at all. As long as he defeated one person, he could use the system to restore his own condition and bring his spiritual energy back to its best level.

But...why bother?

It's a waste of magic points and it only attracts attention for no reason.

Of course, it's best to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.

Meanwhile, on the high platform of the arena, several people sat watching the fight below.

The first one is naturally that of Mo Wentian.

Beside them were three people, two men and one woman.

The woman was the same Nascent Soul cultivator that Ji Nanbei had met before, the one who had taken Ji Meier away.

The identities of the three were easy to guess; they were the sect leaders or elders representing the three sects in this Demonic Path Competition.

The Blood Transformation Sect Leader looked at the competition below, shook his head, and said:

"There's nothing to see here, Demon Sect Master. With this kind of competition arrangement, many people will just go through the motions and not put in any real effort, only wanting a reward."

Mo Wentian closed his eyes and nodded.

"That's true, but my Moon Worshiping Demon Sect doesn't need these few measly gifts. We'll just consider it as helping the younger generation of demonic cultivators."

"I'll just consider it as mentoring a junior in the demonic path."

Mo Wentian's words startled the other three sects.

When did the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect become so kind?

In their impression, the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect has always only cared about its own development. Although it has a decent reputation in the demonic path, it is not generous enough to help disciples from other sects.

However, since they've already said that, and they're the ones offering the benefits, what can the beneficiaries say?

After all, those with decent strength below are mostly disciples of their three sects.

"However, in this case, those who are truly capable probably won't easily take the stage."

The Nascent Soul woman from the Hehuan Sect said this.

"No rush. In a little while, some disciples will get restless. After all, it takes time to fight twenty matches. By the way, I heard that your Hehuan Sect has produced a rather impressive disciple this generation?"

Mo Wentian didn't care at all, and instead brought up the topic of the disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

"Yes, I heard that the Hehuan Sect has a disciple who is a genius, with both excellent cultivation and combat skills."

"I've heard about this too. So, where is it? Come on stage later and introduce yourself to us."

The leaders of the other two sects were also making trouble.

The Nascent Soul woman from the Hehuan Sect shook her head.

"My disciple won't be making an appearance this time. Not long ago, she had some enlightenment, which can be considered a fortuitous opportunity, and she's gone into seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the other three were taken aback.

Did you encounter an opportunity and gain some insight?

It sounds like some utterly ridiculous excuse, but he's just a disciple; there's no need to hide it like this.

Could it be that there is some incredible opportunity within this Demon Gathering City that the Hehuan Sect has discovered?

And the person from the Hehuan Sect was not lying.

The disciple they were referring to was none other than Ji Meier.

Ji Meier is exceptionally talented and has a superior temperament.

Being able to cultivate a secret technique like the Peach Blossom Seed Heart Technique already indicates that one possesses extraordinary abilities.

On the day Ji Meier was taken away, her cultivation bottleneck began to loosen.

The reason is naturally due to the great law of the reversal of Yin and Yang and the circulation of the Six Paths.

Even at the beginner level, the effects of this ancient secret technique are nothing short of miraculous.

There is another reason

That is, Ji Meier has already planted the peach blossom in her own heart, and now she has planted the peach blossom in his heart.

As a result, their cultivation efficiency will naturally improve significantly.

It was even close to breaking through at one point.

However, there are also significant hidden dangers.

The peach blossoms planted in his heart, and with love in his heart, Ji Meier will have to go through a special tribulation when she enters the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
