After Zhao Kui and the others finished playing with Gongsun Gong, they strolled around for a bit before returning to the inn to rest. After a night of relaxation, their sleep was very good. The next day, they were all brimming with energy.

Today was the day for the official competition of the Heaven Origin Sect. The group of Falling Cloud Sect members majestically headed to the Heaven Origin Sect. The Heaven Origin Sect was located in the prefecture city of Song Yuan Prefecture.

Along the way, the air was abnormally fresh. The morning sun had just risen, and birds were chirping and the fragrance of flowers was in the air. The group was not tired from getting up early; on the contrary, they were brimming with energy.

After running for about two hours, they were ready for a warm-up.

They arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Heaven Origin Sect was located. The mountain that the Heaven Origin Sect was located on was at least two times taller than the Falling Cloud Sect. The area it occupied was several times larger than the mountain where the Falling Cloud Sect was located.

Everyone looked up at the peak of the mountain. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was still early in the morning. The sunlight scattered down and made the clouds and mist on the mountain appear and disappear.

Everyone slowly walked upwards, and after a long time, they discovered that although the stone steps were slightly curved, the height of the stone steps did not change at all. No matter how the mountain changed, the people who walked on the stone steps did not change at all, as long as the human and material resources required to reach this height were great!

Just from this point alone, one could tell that the Heaven Origin Sect was not just wealthy!

After walking for about an hour, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain. The whole mountain seemed to have been cut in half, and the area was unusually large. The terrain didn't fluctuate at all.

The first thing that entered their eyes was a huge plaza. The entire plaza was paved with huge pieces of bluestone, each piece of stone weighed at least thirty thousand kilograms, and the size and shape of the stone were indistinguishable from the eyes. The only difference was that the patterns on the stone were somewhat different. The entire square was at least a kilometer square! Walking on the square, it gave off the feeling of a thick and heavy atmosphere. The stones in the square were extremely tightly intertwined, and the stones were almost all connected together.

Looking further into the distance, he saw rows upon rows of buildings on top of the mountain peak. They were high and low, surrounding this huge plaza from above.

"Haha, Brother Ye, you finally came!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged scholar. There were three strands of beard under his chin, and he was about half a foot long. From time to time, he would stroke them with his hand, giving off a very sage-like feeling.

"Brother Si Ma, you're really diligent. You've arrived so early. Come, everyone pays their respects to Luo County's Shaofang Shan's Master Si Ma!" Ye Tian was a bit polite as he said to everyone.

"Greetings, Sect Master Sima!" Everyone respectfully bowed towards Sect Master Si Ma.

"Haha, Brother Ye is still as polite as ever. Bring your disciples to the gathering place, then we'll have a good reminiscence!" That sect head Sima laughed and said to Ye Tian.

"Alright, brother Sima, I'll see you in a while!" Finished speaking, Ye Tian brought everyone to the gathering place. There were already four groups of people there. It was obvious that they were the disciples of the four supreme sects.

After settling down everyone, Ye Tian ordered, "You guys wait here. When the various sects arrive, the Sky Origin Sect will explain everything. You just have to do it!"

Finished speaking, Ye Tian left by himself. Everyone sat on the ground as if they were disciples of other sects. Then they began to chat. Most of the topics were related to the sighs along the way.

At this moment, Hu Xing nudged Zhao Kui with his arm and indicated with his mouth towards the side. Zhao Kui looked in their direction and saw Gong Sun, who they were playing with yesterday, staring at them viciously. There was even another person beside him talking, pointing his finger at Zhao Kui and the others from time to time.

Zhao Kui clearly understood in his heart that this kid was probably looking for an expert to seek revenge on. Zhao Kui did not care, just accept whatever it was that came his way!

Everyone chatted for a while longer before the other two sects finally arrived. At this moment, the sect leaders who were chatting idly by the side walked to a tall platform on the plaza and lined up in a row.

After waiting for a while, an old man with slightly gray hair led a group of people towards the high platform. The old man's face was cold, as if he was covered in a thousand years of ice, but his aura was extremely astonishing. Zhao Kui felt that the aura coming from this old man was somewhat similar to that of the Highest Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect. As he walked up the platform, he lightly nodded his head in the direction of the crowd, appearing extremely arrogant.

However, the crowd on the tall stage did not dare to hesitate. They quickly returned the greetings and said, "We greet Sect Head Huangfu!" His expression was very respectful and he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

Huangfu Haoyue nodded and said, "Everyone has already come. Let the competition officially begin. Send out the numbers that your disciples represent!"

After he finished speaking, one of the people next to him gave a pile of number plates to Extreme Martial School's disciples, and the few sect masters gave their respective plates to the sect disciples.

Zhao Kui took the number plate and saw that it was number one. There were three simple words on it: Falling Cloud Sect.

Afterwards, the old man instructed the person beside him, "Go and confirm the numbers of these disciples."

The person beside him nodded his head, then walked down the stage and stood beside the first stage, holding a pen and writing something on a book, he said: "The second stage, Great Ming Sect's third stage, Young Fang Shan first stage, Mu Xi Sect's fourth stage, Feng Ling Sect's second stage, these five people are in stage one!"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side of the second stage, and just like before, he confirmed the names of the people who were competing in the second stage. Not long later, the names of the people who participated in each stage were determined, and then that person respectfully said to Sect Master Huangfu, "Sect Master, the members have been decided, you can begin the match!"

All of your participants will go up to the arena. The others will be watching from the side, and the people in the arena must not interfere during the competition. If they dare to go against the rules, then don't blame the Heaven Origin Sect for being merciless! "

The meaning behind his words was awe-inspiring, causing everyone to shudder. Naturally, no one dared to have any thoughts in their hearts.

Zhao Kui came to the third ring where he was standing and glanced at the numbers on the stage. He discovered that they were Shaoshan, the Great Ming Sect, the disciples of the Aeolus Sect, and a monk from the Dhuta Temple.

Among them, the disciples of the Great Ming Sect and the monk from the Dhuta Temple had a stronger aura. The other two people were much weaker than Zhao Kui.

After Zhao Kui finished reading, that disciple jumped out anxiously, cupped his fists and said: "I am Feng Ling Sect's Yu Hanshan, I will be the first to come up, whoever wants to challenge me can stand up!"

Just as he finished speaking, the monk from the Dhuta Temple jumped out and said to Yu Hanshan, "I am Ji Kong from the Dodan Temple, please enlighten me!"

Zhao Kui was very curious to see this monk. Buddhism focused on cultivating the heart, and this monk was very impatient. Zhao Kui did not know if it was because of this monk, or because the discipline of the monks in this world was different from his own.

Zhao Kui stopped thinking and quietly watched the battle between the two of them.
