How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The tense atmosphere that had lingered over Tiandu City for days completely dissipated, replaced by a boiling and noisy atmosphere that swept across thousands of miles!

Today, the highly anticipated Tianjiao Arena Battle officially begins!

Located at the very center of Tiandu City, Tiandu Square has long since lost its former solemnity and desolation, transforming into the most bustling and dazzling core area in the entire Central Continent. This enormous square, with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, is paved with several massive pieces of ancient black jade, its surface shimmering with light and engraved with ancient spirit-gathering runes. Even when accommodating hundreds of thousands of people, it does not feel crowded at all.

In the center of the plaza, nine enormous arenas made of white jade rose from the ground, surrounded by layers of cloud-patterned restrictions. These restrictions not only isolated the residual power of spells and ensured the safety of onlookers, but also preserved the power of the cultivators' battles to the greatest extent, allowing each duel to be displayed to its fullest extent.

As dawn broke, crowds of people began to pour in from all directions.

Disciples from various sects arrived, each carrying a sword, exuding confidence and high spirits; there were also direct descendants of great families from the Central Plains, dressed in fine clothes, with arrogant eyes and an air of noble heritage; there were also wandering cultivators, renowned alchemists and weapon refiners who had come from all directions, and even veteran cultivators hidden in the city, all gathered here.

The square was packed with people, and even the cloud-viewing platforms built around the square and rising up the mountain were already full.

The place was bustling with noise, a deafening roar.

Hundreds of thousands of voices intertwined, transforming into a rolling roar that resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Capital City.

"Hahaha... The Heavenly Pride Arena Battle is finally about to begin! We've waited three whole years! Just to see this grand event!"

"I've heard that there are many prodigies participating this time, including top-tier geniuses who have reached the Saint Realm, as well as core disciples from various sects. It's truly a gathering of geniuses, a place where hidden talents abound!"

"I wonder who will top the list this time? Will it be the imperial sons and daughters of powerful families, the holy sons and daughters, a prodigy among the rogue cultivators, or a dark horse emerging from seclusion?"

"It's too difficult for independent cultivators to come out on top. Not to mention resources and magic treasures, the difference in their cultivation techniques and martial arts is huge."

"You're right, if you want top-tier cultivation techniques, you have to join one of these powerful forces!"

"Look! The elders and sect leaders of all the major sects, as well as the heads of aristocratic families, have already taken their seats!"

Amidst the crowd, murmurs rose and fell, growing ever more intense.

On the high platform, rows of distinguished seats were arranged.

The sect leaders and elders of numerous small and medium-sized forces sat solemnly atop the throne, their auras profound and their expressions serene. Their gazes swept over the bustling crowd below, exuding the majesty of powerful figures. The heads of the major families of Zhongzhou sat side by side, their eyes sharp as they secretly sized up the young talents participating in the competition, silently assessing the strength of each family's prodigy.

Meanwhile, at the Myriad Laws Sect, Lu Chen was resting with his eyes closed in a rocking chair when the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Lu Chen sat up abruptly: "Why did the system suddenly issue a mission out of nowhere?"

"Ding, system has issued a mission: In this Heavenly Pride Arena, you must ensure that the five disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect become famous throughout the Central Continent and achieve a top-five ranking. Mission complete, reward: a gift pack."

"System, you're really something! Ning Tian and the other four are all going to compete on stage today, and you're only issuing the task now, not giving them any preparation time at all!" Lu Chen said helplessly.

"Host, instead of letting you prepare properly, I might as well just reward you directly."

"This is great! System, I want to become an immortal right now."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the system immediately fell silent.

"System, why aren't you saying anything? You're such a jerk!"

"No, we need to notify Ning Tian and the others immediately. They must take down all the top five."

Inside the Cloud Dream Pavilion in Tiandu City...

Just as Ning Tian and the others were about to go find Liu Yiyi, the jade pendant hanging from Ning Tian's waist suddenly glowed slightly, and they all looked at Ning Tian's jade pendant.

"Senior Brother, what's going on? Why is your jade pendant shining?" Kun Kun asked.

"This is the jade pendant that Master gave to us, and I don't know why it suddenly lit up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's illusory figure floated out from the jade pendant.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Chen, the group quickly bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."

"Kun Kun, the Dharma Master greets the Sect Master."

"Master, Yun'er misses you!" Little Ningyun ran to Lu Chen's illusory figure and shouted loudly.

"Get up, all of you!"

"Yun'er misses her master. She'll be able to see her master when she returns from her training."

"Master, did something happen at the Myriad Laws Sect?" Mu Qingcheng asked.

"The Wanfa Sect is doing well, so don't worry! Yesterday, the Jiang family, whom you recommended, came to participate in the sect's assessment, and 32 people successfully entered the sect."

"That's good, thank you for your kindness, Master," Ning Tian said, stepping forward.

"Alright! I've come here today to tell you something, which is that the five of you must secure all five spots in today's Heavenly Pride Arena."

"Master, is Senior Sister also participating?" Mu Qingcheng asked.

"Yes, let her get some experience on stage! With Lu Hou around, she won't be in any danger."

"That's great! Master, I like you so much! When we get back, I'll grill meat for you!" Xiao Ningyun jumped up excitedly and laughed.

"Little Yun'er is so good to her teacher!"

Of course I'm good to my master! I'll take care of him in his old age and even burn paper money for his funeral!

Before she could finish speaking, Kun Kun quickly covered Ning Yun's mouth: "Sect Master, Senior Sister is just a child, haha!"

Lu Chen was speechless when he heard Xiao Ningyun's words.

"Alright! You all get ready! I'll be leaving now." With that, Lu Chen's illusory figure slowly dissipated, as if he had never been there.

"Disciple respectfully sees off Master."

"Great! Hehe! I'm going to go on stage and fight too!"

Seeing Ning Yun's state, the group felt a headache coming on. But remembering Lu Chen's words, they clenched their fists tightly.

"Let's go! Let's find Pavilion Master Liu first."

Inside the main hall of Yunmeng Pavilion, Liu Yiyi was already waiting.

Seeing the group enter, Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "Your dear friends have arrived!"

"I apologize for keeping Pavilion Master Liu waiting."

"No, I just arrived too."

"Uncle Wang, why don't you go to the arena and register your disciples for the upcoming matches?"

"Yes, miss!"

"My dear disciples, may I ask your names?"

"My name is Cai Kunkun, my brother is Master Hua, my second senior sister is Mu Qingcheng, my eldest senior brother is Ning Tian, ​​and my eldest senior sister is Ning Yun. Hurry up!"

"Uh...uh..."

"Uncle Wang, what are you 'uh'ing about?"

"Master Cai, is your 5-year-old junior sister also going to sign up?"

"What's wrong, Uncle Wang? Is there an age limit?"

"There is an age limit, which is limited to prodigies under the age of 50, but there has never been a 5-year-old prodigy who has applied."

"Alright then. The rule is that you have to be under 50. Five years old is still under 50, so it doesn't violate the rules of the arena. Go now!"

Uncle Wang glanced at Liu Yiyi, and seeing that Liu Yiyi nodded, he had no choice but to turn and leave.

"Are you really letting your junior sister participate? She's so young, what if she gets injured..."

"Sect Master Liu, it's alright. Don't underestimate our junior sister."

"That's right, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful!" With that, Xiao Ningyun clenched her little hand with Liu Yiyi's, causing the space around them to distort slightly.

Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Ningyun, Liu Yiyi realized that this five-year-old brat was actually at the late stage of the Saint Realm, with a cultivation level higher than hers. She was already 29 years old and only at the early stage of the Saint Realm, not even comparable to a child. She couldn't help but think to herself, "What kind of monsters are the Wanfa Sect members?!"

"Alright then! Uncle Wang has prepared everything for us, let's go now."

"Then I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Liu."
