How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The sky was clear and cloudless.

The vast Tiandu Square stands in the very center of Tiandu City.

Tiandu Square was bustling with activity, attracting cultivators from all directions. The entire Central Continent's gaze was focused on this place.

Liu Yiyi, dressed in an elegant white dress, moved with light steps, her graceful figure like jade under the moon. Her aloof and otherworldly temperament stood out in the noisy crowd, followed by Ning Tian and his four companions.

Ning Tian and his group of five concealed their cultivation levels, appearing unremarkable, but in reality, their foundations were as vast as the ocean, with various supreme physiques and secret techniques lying dormant within them, awaiting the changing tides. They followed closely behind Liu Yiyi, stepping into the core area of ​​the plaza.

"Look, isn't that Miss Liu Yiyi, the daughter of the Tianbao Pavilion Master?"

"It is indeed her, but who are the people behind her?"

"I don't know him/her, I've never seen him/her before."

"Is he her servant?"

"How could that be? Didn't you see them chatting and laughing? Have you ever seen a master treat his servants so politely?"

"They certainly don't seem like servants; they must be her friends! Let's bring them here to see what a true prodigy is like."

Liu Yiyi and her companions arrived at a huge jade table, then said with a smile, "My esteemed disciples, please sit here!"

"This is a great spot! You can see the entire arena at a glance," Kun Kun said with a smile.

As soon as they sat down, two maids behind Liu Yiyi placed portions of spiritual fruits and pastries on the jade table.

At this moment, Uncle Wang returned. He walked up to the group and said, "My dear disciples, I have already registered you for the arena battle. Now we'll see the results of the draw."

"Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work."

"You're too kind, Mr. Cai. This is all I should do."

Pavilion Master Liu, have you signed up to participate?

Hua Qin Chuan laughed, "With my insignificant cultivation level, going up on stage would only make me look foolish. I'd rather stay quietly and watch from below."

A sudden commotion arose from the crowd. Ning Tian and the others also looked up.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Look...it's the Imperial Clan coming out!"

"The Imperial Clan is truly domineering! Each one exudes a terrifying aura and is incredibly powerful. I wish I could join the Imperial Clan!"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but with your qualifications, you're not even qualified to be a gatekeeper for the imperial family."

"How can you speak so rudely?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

"If these young masters or noblemen of the imperial family could take a liking to me, I would be willing to serve them for the rest of my life."

"You slut, just looking at you makes people feel disgusted, and you even serve them? You're shameless."

"What's it to you? Humph... I think you're just sour grapes."

"Sect Master Liu, isn't that your father on the high platform? I saw him back in the Myriad Laws Sect."

"Master Ning, the person above is indeed my father. Those nine jade tables represent nine imperial-level powers."

"You emperor-level forces are really impressive! You all act so high and mighty," Kun Kun laughed.

"Cai Qin Chuan laughed. Compared to your Imperial Clan, we are just small fry."

As one imperial-level force after another entered the arena, the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.

Tianbao Pavilion, Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, Qinglan Academy, and Tianji Tower are located on the left side of the high platform.

The Murong family, the Huangfu family, the Yaoguang Holy Land, and the Taiqing Holy Land are located on the right.

As soon as the various factions took their seats, they greeted each other, though they were divided into two factions, left and right.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master of Guiyuan Pavilion smiled and looked at Su Zhegui (Dean Su of Qinglan Academy) beside him, asking, "Dean Su, it's been a long time. I heard that your academy has been rarely sending people out lately?"

"The Sword Master of Guiyuan is right. The Xuanhuang Continent has become increasingly unstable in the past two years. Our Qinglan Academy has always stayed out of worldly affairs, so we have instructed our disciples to leave the mountain gate as little as possible."

"I wonder if Dean Su has any free time recently? I'd like to pay him a visit to the academy, what do you think?"

"Hahaha... Sword Master Guiyuan, you are too kind. The gates of my Qinglan Academy are always ready to welcome your arrival."

Suddenly, the Sword Master of Guiyuan noticed Liu Yiyi sitting below, and the young people sitting with her also looked very familiar, especially the little girl.

The Sword Master of Guiyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the little girl sitting in the sect leader's chair during the Wanfa Emperor Sect's grand competition. Wasn't this the girl before him? He widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Liu Bai, and immediately transmitted his voice:

"Brother Liu, are those people sitting with Yiyi from the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect?"

Liu Bai did not answer, but gave the Master of Guiyuan Sword a mysterious smile.

"You, Liu Bai, you've been hiding this well. You're really cunning. If I'm not careful and choose them to join my Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, wouldn't that be stealing the sect leader's personal disciple from the Wanfa Emperor Sect? Liu Bai, you old schemer!" Guiyuan Sword Master cursed inwardly, then looked at Liu Bai with a stern face.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Liu Bai said with a smile, "Brother Guiyuan, I didn't mean it. I just forgot to inform you. Now I apologize. Hahaha..."

"Hmph!" The Sword Master of Guiyuan snorted coldly and ignored him.

After all the factions had taken their seats, the organizers of this arena battle—the Xuanyuan family—arrived on sacred beasts. Each of them was surrounded by the pure aura of the ancient Xuanyuan Emperor's blood, exuding unparalleled nobility and majesty.

The Xuanyuan family patriarch stood tall and imposing, his eyes gleaming with a sacred aura, and every gesture exuded the aura of a supreme ruler. His mere presence overshadowed all other forces present, making him the undisputed protagonist of the entire event.

"Look, the Xuanyuan family has arrived."

"I heard they are the organizers of this year's Heavenly Pride Arena Tournament."

"That's right, it was organized by them. In addition to the geniuses of the nine imperial clans, the best performers in this year's competition have a good chance of being selected by the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan and joining the clan."

"Sigh! I really envy those geniuses. I wish I could join an imperial clan too."

"Look, the beasts ridden by the Imperial Clan are all at the Saint Realm level. They're truly imposing."

As the head of the Xuanyuan family took his seat, everyone in Tiandu Square turned to look at him. Xuanyuan Guyun then addressed an elder, saying, "Let's begin!"

"Yes, Master!"

Then, the nine elder referees flew onto the arena and shouted: "Silence!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire Tiandu Square fell silent, everyone listening intently to what the referee was about to say.

The elder referee cleared his throat and began to speak: "This Prodigy Arena Tournament is divided into preliminary rounds, intermediate rounds, and the final round. All the prodigies from the nine Emperor-level forces do not need to participate in the preliminary rounds and will directly enter the intermediate rounds."

"All the remaining prodigies will have to start from the preliminary rounds, which will be conducted by drawing lots to form groups, with each pair competing against the other. The losers will be eliminated, and the winners will advance directly to the second round and enter the intermediate rounds."

The crowd in the square listened intently, their eyes filled with anticipation. "The referee continued: "In the intermediate round, all the prodigies will draw lots on stage and compete in pairs, going through rounds one, two, and three, until about thirty groups remain to enter the finals."

The elder's voice was steady and powerful. "For the remaining thirty-odd groups in the finals, the first group will continue to be drawn until a champion is determined."

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Referee, are there any restrictions during the match?"

The elder smiled slightly: "Except for the prohibition of using forbidden techniques and intentionally causing death, and the prohibition of attacking again if the opponent admits defeat, all other methods may be used."

A total of 836 prodigies registered for this Prodigy Arena Tournament, of whom 270 were from the nine Emperor-level forces, and the remaining 566 were from other groups.

"Sect Master Liu, each of your nine Emperor-level forces has arranged for 30 people to participate?"

That's right, Ning Qin Chuan. This is all stipulated by our nine forces. We can only send 30 people. This way, our disciples will be more motivated and have more fighting spirit to compete for the spots. The fewer the spots, the harder it is to get them. If they can shine in the arena battles, they will also receive more training from the family.

Ning Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "This is the true state of affairs on the Xuanhuang Continent! People fight tooth and nail for cultivation techniques, elixirs, resources, and magic treasures. A slight misstep can cost you your life. Fortunately, my sibling and I were able to meet our master. Within the Wanfa Sect, even the smallest thing is something that people fight tooth and nail for outside."

Suddenly, a voice rang in everyone's ears: "I hereby announce the official start of the Prodigy Arena Battle. Please invite all 566 prodigies to come forward and draw lots."
