”Haha, Qin Tian has come to sign up as well.”

”Yes, after all, he has defeated two Outer Disciples, at least proving he has the strength of an Inner Sect Disciple. Of course, he should participate in the rare spring Martial Arts Competition.”

”Hmph, what’s the use of defeating Outer Disciples? The real test lies with the Inner Sect Disciples. He’s only defeated Outer Disciples, but when he encounters Inner Sect Disciples, do you think any of them have weaker cultivation than him? I think he’ll be done for when he meets an Inner Sect Disciple.”

”I think Qin Tian will make it to the top sixteen at best.”

”Haha, top sixteen? Unless he gets really lucky.”

Amidst the discussions of the Outer Disciples, Qin Tian ignored them and went directly to the registration area to sign up.

Outer Disciples, he could completely disregard them.

”Haha, Qin Tian, you finally showed up.”

However, when Qin Tian turned away from those people, he encountered Jiang Feng, who was also there to sign up.

Jiang Feng stared at Qin Tian and said, ”Last time on that mountain peak, you trespassed into Senior Sister Ming Jing’s cultivation area, hmph, and made us bear the blame. You just wait!”

This guy still held a grudge from the last time Qin Tian tricked him.

”What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Qin Tian gave Jiang Feng a slight smile.

”You may not understand now, but in a few days at the spring Martial Arts Competition, you’ll understand everything.”

Before Jiang Feng could respond, unexpectedly, Li Tianxuan also arrived.

Seeing Li Tianxuan’s superior demeanor, Qin Tian was momentarily stunned.

Dealing with some verbal spar with Jiang Feng was one thing, but this Li Tianxuan was someone Wang Tianqing was most concerned with, not in a caring way, but because this guy would flaunt his victory, representing Mo Ziyang’s insult to Wang Tianqing.

Since he was a thorn in Wang Tianqing’s side, he naturally was also a thorn in Qin Tian’s side.

Besides, this guy was inherently an annoying person.

”What’s the matter, Qin Tian, did you come to register on your own, or did your master send you?”

Seeing Qin Tian silent, Li Tianxuan started mocking.

”If your master sent you, hmm, my master’s exact words, your master shouldn’t have the guts.”

Li Tianxuan and Jiang Feng seemed to be on the same side.

Qin Tian glanced at them and smiled slightly, ”Your babble here is useless. Come spring Martial Arts Competition, I’ll teach you both a lesson.”

”Haha, you’re really full of it with that talk...”

Before Jiang Feng could finish, Qin Tian simply walked away.

The two were taken aback.

Indeed, sparring with words here wouldn’t resolve anything. In the end, they couldn’t make a move. In the end, it was merely talk; it would all come down to the spring Martial Arts Competition to see the real skill.

As the spring Martial Arts Competition approached, the Martial Arts Arena had already been closed. For the next month, no duels were allowed.

In the following two days, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect seemed calm, but in fact, undercurrents were surging. Many showed inexplicable tension on their faces.

Qin Tian understood that for new disciples, the spring Martial Arts Competition was the last opportunity to showcase their talents.

If they performed well, they would become a key cultivation target of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

Going forward, they could further challenge the top ten disciples.

If one became one of the top ten Inner Sect Disciples, one would become a representative of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, making a name in the Seven Great Immortal Sects.

Because of the importance of the spring Martial Arts Competition, Qin Tian heard rumors that the mysterious Sect Leader of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect would make an appearance at the competition.

Not only the Sect Leader, but other prominent figures who had been in seclusion for years would also appear.

It’s said that although Xuanyuan Immortal Sect had declined, it still had several formidable figures renowned in the Immortal Domain.

Qin Tian heard many stories from Xu San, whose vivid descriptions made Qin Tian somewhat anxious.

On the eve of the spring Martial Arts Competition, some Elders who usually showed up at Xuanyuan Immortal Sect mysteriously disappeared, rumored to be welcoming the Sect Leader from seclusion for an emergency meeting.

Connecting it to the sect’s internal strife, Qin Tian had an unsettling premonition.

This feeling was indescribable, much like a gust of wind on the mountain top. Originally, he was a peripheral figure, but as the wind blew toward him, he seemed to be inexorably pulled into the midst of it all.

Finally, the day of the spring Martial Arts Competition arrived.

The competition was held at the enormous central Martial Arts Square of the Outer Sect.

On this day, servants had already adorned the Martial Arts Square with red paper celebrating the spring competition, a joyful event because it was a disciple selection.

In the huge central Martial Arts Square, there were three levels. The first, nearest the Martial Arts Arena, was reserved for the Sect Leader and Elders to observe.

The second level was for Inner Sect Disciples, and the third level was for Outer Disciples to watch.

Early in the morning, many disciples had arrived at the central Martial Arts Arena to watch.

Especially for the Outer Disciples, opportunities to present themselves in front of the Elders were rare. Finally given a chance, each one was excited and eager to try their luck.

By around nine in the morning, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, and some of the Elders seated in the rear had settled in, and even some prominent Elders began gradually taking their seats.

As it approached ten o’clock, from outside the central square came the announcement: ”The Sect Leader arrives!”

Instantly, the originally bustling atmosphere of the central square fell silent!

The Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader was a super mysterious presence. The Outer Disciples, as well as the Inner Disciples, had never seen the Sect Leader.

So, when the announcement sounded, silence spread all around, and many people even craned their necks toward the square’s entrance, staring intently.

Surrounded by a group of people, a middle-aged man in a white robe slowly walked in, exuding an immortal air, clearly over a hundred years old, yet appearing to be in his forties or fifties. Apart from his fully white hair, there were no signs of aging.

This was the Sect Leader of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect?

Qin Tian was amazed; this was completely different from the frail old man image he had imagined.

Amid the applause from the central square crowd, the Sect Leader walked at the forefront, followed by three elderly men also dressed in white robes, exuding an extraordinary aura. They were clearly prominent figures of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

”Hmm?”

Behind these three men, four middle-aged individuals followed, one of whom was Shenyue!

Qin Tian’s brows furrowed!

Because he saw that the ones following Shenyue into the arena were Mo Ziyang, Wang Tianqing, and another Elder!

What does this indicate?

This indicates that Shenyue’s position in Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is higher than that of these three Great Elders!

”This, this... what the hell is going on?”

Qin Tian was bewildered. A bad premonition arose in his heart: ”Could it be that Shenyue has been hiding her true self from me all along?”
