Accidentally Married a Fox God

Meanwhile, the Fox Lord in question had long ago departed the Bestiary Division's premises, flying directly towards the bustling main island of the sect.

At Forgotten Waters sect's largest floating island, an important tournament was currently taking place.

The sun was glaringly bright. A deafening roar could be heard from the crowd of onlookers as they cheered for their respective divisions. Many visitors from far away had arrived and mingled with the crowd. The place became an infested pile of rambunctious, overzealous mortals reeking of sweat.

Bai Qingyue wrinkled his small nose in disgust, tactfully avoiding the large crowd.

The tournament was a long standing tradition that had existed for hundreds of years. Besides the sect disciples' privilege to witness the event, only the highest ranked martial heroes of the pugilistic world were allowed to attend.

Many a talented martial artist, as well as numerous renowned cultivators, came from far and wide to witness the righteous sect's talented youths portray their skills in the preliminaries. Not only for the opportunity to witness the spectacular event, but also for the slight off chance of being granted an opportunity to battle for the championship.

The Forgotten Waters was a sect known for its prestigiousness and glory, bearing an excellent reputation for promoting young and highly talented cultivators. The winner of this martial arts tournament would not only advance to battle against the champions of the rest of the continent's righteous sects, but would also be given a ranked ten spirit beast mount, a chest filled with precious spirit cores, and most importantly, a One Thousand Frozen Tear pill.

As the name suggests, the One Thousand Frozen Tear pill was a pill which takes over a thousand years to concoct. Its main ingredient is the frozen tear of a qilin. Wreathed with flames and smoke, the noble qilin was a beast known as the most divine and peaceful being across the entire realm.

Since there were scarcely any qilins left roaming the lands at this day and age, a One Thousand Frozen Tear pill was obviously an extremely rare and priceless treasure.

For a cultivator, consuming a Thousand Frozen Tear pill could easily make the difference between rising in ranks towards the pre-immortal stage, otherwise known as the Nascent Soul cultivation stage, or staying forever stuck in the cumbersome bottleneck of the Core Formation stage.

Such an invaluable cultivation pill could easily amount to the price of several whole nations, and was known to be the cause of many wars in the mortal realm. For what wouldn't a person do to ascend to immortality?

As for the Sovereign Fox Lord, the tournament meant very little to him. The enticing treasures offered were nothing more than useless trinkets to a deity from the Heavens.
