Five thousand meters up in the sky, White Cloud Island was suspended in the air as if it was frozen in the void.
Over ten thousand outer sect disciples were gathered here. Then, waves of powerful auras spread from outside the island. It was the arrival of some inner sect disciples.
Almost all of the inner sect disciples were promoted from outer sect disciples. The inner sect disciples were familiar with the outer sect competition.
Inner sect disciples were already at the Saint Rudiment Stage, completely above the Transcendence Stage. They would not deliberately come for the outer sect competition. They just happened to be here to take a look and see which junior brothers in the outer sect could catch their eye.
After all, there would be some outstanding outer sect disciples who would become inner sect disciples in the future.
Then, a vast amount of energy descended. Everyone's expression turned serious.
The almighty of White Cloud Mountain had arrived.
White Cloud Mountain had five Dao Masters, each of which had a Dao Master. They were the strongest in White Cloud Mountain. The fact that a Dao Master had come for the outer sect competition was enough to show how much importance White Cloud Mountain placed on the outer sect competition.
In fact, a Dao Master would definitely appear in the quinquennial outer sect competition. The other four Dao Masters were either in seclusion or secretly observing.
This time, the one who descended was someone Chen Zong found familiar.
Dao Master Huan Yun!
"Greetings, Dao Master Huan Yun." The inner sect disciples were the first to react and immediately bowed. Soon, the outer sect disciples also reacted and hurriedly bowed.
Dao Master Huan Yun's eyes were white as if they contained a sea of clouds. The sea of clouds was like heaven and earth, containing endless mysteries. One look at it and one would feel like they would be drawn into it.
Chen Zong felt that Dao Master Huan Yun's gaze seemed to pause on him, but it seemed like an illusion.
"Rise." The calm voice seemed to contain supreme power. When the voice sounded, the wind stopped and no waves were created.
After saying those two words, Dao Master Huan Yun did not speak again. Instead, he stood high up in the sky, above the clouds.
The Dao Master had arrived for the outer sect competition. The real host was an elder of White Cloud Mountain, an elder with Saint Rudiment Stage cultivation.
"There are similarities and differences between this year's Grand Competition and the previous ones." The Elder spoke in a clear and loud voice. His loud and clear voice traveled into everyone's ears.
"The top seventy-two people in the competition can be listed on the Cloud Roll and receive rewards from the Sect."
The higher the ranking, the better the rewards.
If one was in the top ten of the Cloud Roll, the rewards would be very tempting. If one was in the top three, the rewards would be even more shocking.
This was because the reward for the top three on the Cloud Roll was to choose a Lower Grade Saint Class Cultivation Skill or Martial Skill to cultivate.
Chen Zong couldn't help but think of Bai Xiyue, Gao Hongjing, and Fu Yunxiao.
The three of them were the top three of the previous Cloud Roll. All of them had chosen Sacred Level Cultivation Methods or Martial Arts. Even if they were only Lower Grade Sacred Level Cultivation Methods, they were still much better than Spiritual Level Cultivation Methods. They were not on the same level.
After five years of bitter cultivation, with the talent of the three of them, they should be able to cultivate the low-grade Saint level cultivation method or martial arts to a certain level.
"Saint-class Cultivation Method, Saint-class Martial Arts …" Chen Zong's eyes lit up. He clenched his left hand tightly, and the force was so strong that it felt like it could crush a mountain.
Chen Zong was very curious about the profundity and power of Saint Level Cultivation Methods and Saint Level Martial Arts.
He could not wait to fight with the top three of the previous Cloud Roll and experience it for himself.
The elder continued to speak. What he mentioned before was the reward for each Cloud Roll, and what he said later was the difference from the previous Cloud Roll.
"The top ten of this Cloud Roll will get a chance." As soon as the elder finished speaking, his eyes were bright and full of spirit. Suddenly, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable sense of expectation emerged from the depths of their hearts.
Chance!
What kind of chance was it?
Everyone was very curious.
"This chance is also an opportunity, an opportunity for you to enter the Saint Realm." As soon as the elder finished speaking, there was an uproar.
The Saint Realm!
That was the realm of a real master.
Only when one entered the Saint Realm could he be called a master. Those in the Transcendent Realm could only be regarded as masters.
After all, this was the Lingwu Holy World, a world where there were supreme masters of the Great Saint Realm.
The gap between the Transcendent Realm and the Saint Realm was huge. Since ancient times, many cultivators had stopped at the Transcendent Realm or the Half-saint Realm, and had no chance to enter the Saint Realm.
Even the genius disciples of the big forces dared not say that they could break through to the Saint Realm.
Even the top ten of the previous Cloud Roll, although they were confident that they could break through to the Saint Realm, were not sure when.
Transcendent, Saint Realm!
Saint Realm!
This was a qualitative improvement, a transformation of the level of life.
The group of Inner Sect disciples was also surprised.
They, who were already in the Saint Realm, knew very well how difficult it was to break through to the Saint Realm.
In order to break through to the Saint Realm, each of them had put in a lot of effort and time to get an opportunity. If there was no opportunity, they would have to put in even more time and effort.
A single opportunity was even comparable to decades or even hundreds of years of effort.
An opportunity to enter the Saint Realm!
Everyone's heart was burning with excitement, especially those disciples whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Level Transcendent Realm. For them, the Transcendent Realm cultivation had reached the limit and could not be further improved. They could only work in other aspects to reach the Half-saint Realm.
However, this did not hinder the opportunity to enter the Saint Realm.
As long as they obtained an opportunity, as long as they comprehended it, they could turn it into their own. When they wanted to break through, it would be easier for them to break through to the Saint Realm and step into the ranks of masters.
Fu Yunxiao, who was dressed in a white robe and had a calm expression since he appeared, also had a flash of excitement in his eyes.
An opportunity to enter the Saint Realm, no matter who it was, would be tempted.
Gao Hongjing's personality was different from Fu Yunxiao's. In the face of such an opportunity to enter the Saint Realm, he was very excited. His eyes shone brightly as a tyrannical aura spread out from his body like a storm. It immediately pushed away the people around him, making them fearful.
Bai Xiyue, who seemed to be aloof from the world, had a calm expression on her cold and beautiful face, but her towering chest rose and fell rapidly in an instant. Obviously, she was also excited by the words' opportunity to enter the Saint Realm '.
However, the elder did not specify what kind of opportunity to enter the Saint Realm, which made everyone extremely curious.
"If you want to obtain the opportunity to enter the Saint Realm, then fight with all your might. As long as you are ranked in the top ten of the Cloud Roll, you will have a chance to obtain this opportunity," the elder said, his voice full of encouragement.
However, Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat.
The opportunity to enter the Saint Realm naturally made Chen Zong excited. However, the elder's words seemed to imply that the top ten of the Cloud Roll only had a chance to obtain the opportunity to enter the Saint Realm, and it was not 100% guaranteed.
In other words, the top ten of the Cloud Roll was equivalent to obtaining a qualification. They would have to continue to compete to obtain the so-called opportunity to enter the Saint Realm.
As for how they would compete, Chen Zong did not know, nor did he know who they would compete with.
However, Chen Zong was vaguely sure of one thing. This opportunity to enter the Saint Realm should be competed with others by the top ten of the Cloud Roll of White Cloud Mountain. It was not limited to White Cloud Mountain, and it might expand to other forces.
However, for now, it was better to get into the top ten of White Cloud Mountain's Outer Sect Disciple Competition and be ranked in the top ten of the Cloud Roll to obtain the qualification.
Next, the elder announced some rules of the Outer Sect Disciple Competition.
The seventy-two people from the previous Cloud Roll did not need to participate in the preliminary round and directly advanced to the finals. This was their privilege, and no one had any objections.
After all, those who could be ranked on the Cloud Roll were all at least in the Transcendent Realm Ninth Level, and their strength was even stronger than ordinary Transcendent Realm Ninth Level cultivators.
In fact, if one did not have enough strength, there was no point in having objections. Those who had enough strength did not need to have any objections. They could fight with their own strength and advance to the finals, where they would be able to battle with others.
Excluding the seventy-two people from the previous Cloud Roll, there were more than eleven thousand and seven hundred people left to participate in the Outer Sect Disciple Competition.
The Outer Sect Disciple Competition was divided into four stages.
The first stage was the elimination round. As the name suggested, a group of people would be eliminated first, just like sand being washed away by waves.
The second stage was the preliminary round. It was a battle between disciples who had advanced through the elimination round. The winners would continue to participate in the Outer Sect Disciple Competition, while the losers would naturally be eliminated and reduced to spectators.
The third stage was the promotion round. In this round, the disciples would compete with the seventy-two people from the previous Cloud Roll to compete for the seventy-two position on the Cloud Roll of this year.
The fourth stage was the finals. It was a ranking competition between the seventy-two people of this year's Cloud Roll to determine their ranking on the Cloud Roll.
The first stage of the elimination round began.
The elder's tall body trembled slightly, and an incomparably tyrannical aura suddenly surged out from his body.
Like a torrent bursting through a dam, the aura was extremely tyrannical. In an instant, it was as if an invisible mountain had fallen on the eleven thousand and seven hundred outer sect disciples.
This was the aura of a Saint Realm master, and not just any ordinary Saint Realm master.
The aura of a Saint Realm master was extremely tyrannical, but this Elder did not use his full strength. He only released a small part of it. After all, the gap between the Transcendent Realm and the Saint Realm was too big.
The eleven thousand and seven hundred outer sect disciples only felt their bodies sink, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them. This kind of pressure not only affected the body, but also the mind.
To resist the pressure of the aura, one had to gather their own momentum to resist it.
Where did the aura come from?
It came from one's own cultivation, one's own strength, one's own belief, and one's own will.
If one's body was not strong enough, the aura would not be strong enough to resist it.
Therefore, this was a way to test whether a person was strong or not.
Of course, the Great Thousand Worlds was filled with all kinds of strange things. There were also some existences who were not strong but were able to release a powerful aura. However, such existences were not from the Human Race, but rather from the Beast Race.
Facing the aura released by the Saint Realm Elder, the group of Early Stage Transcendent Realm disciples couldn't even last three breaths of time before collapsing to the ground. Their cultivations were too low and their strength was insufficient, so they were unable to resist.
As the aura grew stronger and stronger, gradually, even the Fourth Layer Transcendent Realm disciples were unable to withstand it and fell to the ground. Once they fell to the ground, they would no longer be suppressed by the aura and would be eliminated.
As the aura continued to grow, more and more disciples were unable to withstand it and fell to the ground, but the other disciples grit their teeth and persisted.
The elder didn't clearly state how long they had to persevere before they could advance to the next round. This was actually another formless test. Because everyone didn't have a clear goal, they would be at a loss, which would then affect their will. After a long time, constantly enduring the pressure would become a kind of torture.
