The highlight of the event was the “sect battles.” The old Grandmasters and the famous cultivators would certainly not join the fight. So, the large families and sects would send out one of their young disciples. The winner would get 10% of the profits from the cultivation industry in Jiang Bei.
That was a terrifying amount.
There were countless cultivators in Jiang Bei who traded with one another, using all kinds of cultivation materials, Spirit Medicines and monsters’ skins. Hundreds of billions in profit was made and 10% was enough to make a billionaire.
Besides, more and more people arrived at the venue after the cultivation event started. The winner of the competition would become famous in the world. So, even large sects like the Ba Ji Sect and the Tai Chi Sect would send their disciples to participate.
Zhao Mingkong yelled,”Brother Chu will definitely get into the top ten this time.”
“Hm, Feifei will also be in the top ten, or even the top five. Isn’t it true, Sister Feifei?” Xiao Xuan said.
Lu Yang, Chu Yun and Jiang Feifei were all elites of the younger generation in Chu Zhou City. They had the attention from all the Young Masters and Young Ladies. Even if they couldn’t get to first place, they would still be given generous rewards as long as they managed to get into the top positions. Besides, an officer from the Sun Palace was present this time. If they performed well in front of “Lord Xin,” they would truly be able to rise to the top.
“Boom!”
While the young cultivators were fighting and countless people were cheering—
Chen Fan’s attention wasn’t there anymore. His Immortal Will covered the entire venue and spread all over Qin Yang County.
Chen Jiuyang, Lord Xin, Gao Baisheng… Some familiar, yet unfamiliar people appeared in Chen Fan’s mind. He even saw Chu Minhui and Tang Yifei, who were both his enemies. Chen Fan paused for a while and kept searching. The reason why he attended the event was to look for the member of the North Qiong Sect hidden in the Qin Yang County.
Then.
Chen Fan’s Immortal Will was attracted by a familiar energy.
“This is… the energy of the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms?” Chen Fan frowned and turned around. The door was smashed open and a fourteen-year-old girl in a white cultivation outfit entered.
“Chen Yaoyao of the North Qiong Sect is here to challenge the cultivators in Jiang Bei.”
Everyone became silent when the girl entered the venue.
“Hi everyone! This is Mango Live. I’m your commentator, Jiang Hua. I’m here at the Jiang Bei Cultivation Grand Event right now. As you can see, the ‘sect battles’ have begun. Apart from the young cultivators in Jiang Bei, many other elites from around the country are also participating in the fight.
“Wow! Is that ‘Landslide’ of the Ba Ji Sect? The disciple representing the Ba Ji Sect is Gu Fei and his opponent is Chu Yun from the Chu family. Chu Yun once had three years of training in the ‘Cang Dragon Special Force’ when he was young and he knows a lot of martial arts used in the army…
“That’s indeed a member of the Lu family. The candidate called Lu Yang defeated his opponents with a single punch.
“Hm, who’s that? Why does she look like Goddess Jiang? Perhaps… Listen! The commentator said she’s actually Goddess Jiang’s cousin…”
Mango Live was the most popular live-broadcast platform in recent times. In 2026, live-broadcast platforms had largely replaced television stations and become the media young people liked the most. Jiang Hua was a well-known commentator of Mango Live and had commented on countless cultivator battles. A lot of people were watching the broadcast in front of their computers and televisions.
When the battle reached the climax—
It was time for Jiang Feifei to join the fight. She defeated her opponents easily with her Qi Refinement Art of the North Qiong Sect and some Zen Dharma Spells, causing a commotion in the crowd.
“It’s Jiang Churan’s sister. No wonder she’s so powerful.”
Cheng Hui was doing yoga and watching the live-broadcast in front of her computer. She was a third-year student at Jin City University. Not only her, a few other girls in the dormitory were also watching together.
As the battle continued, the situation became clear.
Chu Yun, Jiang Feifei, Gu Fei from the Ba Ji Sect and Feng Yunhao from the Tai Chi Sect stood out. The weakest among them was an early-stage Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator, while the strongest, Feng Yunhao, had even reached the peak stage and was only half a step away from entering the Divine Sea realm.
There was a hint of jealousy in Cheng Hui’s eyes as she looked at those young elites, who had become Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators before the age of twenty.
But then.
The door was banged open. Chen Yaoyao entered and challenged everyone in the venue, shocking countless people in the audience, including those in front of televisions and computers.
“F**k, that girl is only fourteen years old and she wants to challenge the entire Jiang Bei?”
“Wait, did you hear what she said? Chen Yaoyao from the North Qiong Sect? Wasn’t the North Qiong Sect eliminated six years ago? Why would a disciple show up?”
“Yea, is the North Qiong Sect rising again?”
People discussed.
Meanwhile.
Many guests at the venue were looking at the skinny girl with a mix of excitement and confusion. This was the first time something like this had happened after six years of the Jiang Bei Cultivation Grand Event! A lot of people didn’t even know what the North Qiong Sect was until someone explained to them.
“Oh God, the North Qiong Sect? Wasn’t it exterminated long ago? They still have disciples left?”
Yan Junze was dumbfounded.
“Hm, she simply belongs to a declined sect. How dare she challenge Brother Chu?” Lu Yang smiled in disdain.
Xiao Xuan and the others nodded.
The girl got on the stage and challenged the entire Jiang Bei, so she would certainly catch the attention of the young cultivators. Only Chen Fan felt the authentic True Martial Qi Refinement Art and the familiar blood in her body. He had so many questions he wanted to ask her right then.
At the same time, Gao Baisheng and Chen Jiuyang were also startled.
The North Qiong Sect was a myth that could never be wiped out from minds of old cultivators such as them. Zhao Deyang from the Zhao family then waved his hand.
“I don’t care if you’re from the South Qiong Sect or the North Qiong Sect. Whoever interrupts the event must die.”
How powerful would it be when an Immortal State Warrior like him attacked in anger? He had only released 30% of his power; immediately after, there was a beam of white light in the sky. It swept dozens of meters, flashing towards Chen Yaoyao.
“Watch out!” many girls shouted.
But Chen Yaoyao spread her arms and slashed the white light ray in half with her hand. Even though she had also taken a few steps back, people still cheered for her after seeing her resist an attack from a Divine Sea cultivator.
Gao Baisheng’s eyes popped out as he whispered, “It really is ‘Humble Cloud Hand’ of the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms. This girl is indeed a disciple of the North Qiong Sect, a core one from what I gather.”
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
