The next morning, Guang Mu Zhenjun washed and dressed himself, looking full of spirit as he personally sent off the guest.

A total of 131 cultivators went to Zhongzhou to participate in the Five Continents Grand Competition, including 15 Nascent Soul cultivators, 60 Golden Core cultivators, and 56 Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Just like the Tianyitong's Three Pledges of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, Zhongzhou also has its own Three Pledges of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

...Zhongzhou doesn't consider it to be Zhongzhou's own ranking list, but instead directly names it after the Cangwu Realm, calling it the "Realm List."

Among them, the Heavenly List is for Mahayana cultivators, the Earthly List is for Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Human List is for Core Formation cultivators.

Below the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms list is the Lesser Three Realms List, also known as the Lesser Heaven, Earth, and Human List, which is divided into lists for Golden Core, Foundation Building, and Qi Refining disciples.

The three ranks of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity were simply too prominent, completely overshadowing the ranking of Little Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

However, this batch of foundation-building cultivators all went for the Small World Rankings.

The goal of all Yuan Ying cultivators is the Five Continents Grand Competition, and only after that comes the Heavenly, Earthly, Human Ranking list where they aim for the last position.

As for the Heavenly and Earthy Lists... it is rumored that they only record the names of the top twenty, and they haven't changed in decades.

For now, no one foolish enough to challenge the top twenty cultivators has dared to.

After the disciples of the Five Sects of Nanzhou gathered together, they boarded a flying ship and headed for Zhongzhou.

This line requires crossing another mountain range in Southeast Asia, with three venerables and ten Nascent Soul protectors from each of the Five Sects.

Therefore, this grand vessel carried fifteen Venerables and fifty Nascent Soul cultivators as protectors. It was truly the most extravagant procession in South Continent for nearly two decades.

On the way, there were a few unexpected obstacles, but they were easily overcome by the fifteen venerables.

By the time we reached Zhongzhou, it was already the third day.

Tiangyizong is still led by Taijizun this time, assisted by Daowu Zun and Tianxin Zun.

These two venerable masters are well-known Mahayana cultivators from Nanzhou. They have extensive experience and are both very calm in nature.

On the road, the venerable Taiji addressed all the disciples of Tianyi Sect: “This journey will land in the capital city of Yuanguo, one of the five countries of Zhongzhou. Cultivators from all five continents are gathered here, and there are many people. Everyone needs to be careful and not get into conflict with disciples from other continents. Also, do not interfere with local affairs at will and affect the progress of the competition.”

"If you're traveling, it's best to go in groups of three or five. Don't stray far from the city center, and avoid leaving the sect's monitored area without permission. In case of an accident, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

A group of disciples obediently responded.

The Grandmaster Taiji said slowly, "Don't think I'm being long-winded, these words are all lessons learned through the blood of your predecessors."

Among the five continents, the North and South continents are the weakest. They are also the easiest to be bullied in the Middle Continent.... I know you young people are full of vigor and are not asking you to back down or be afraid when things happen. Just before you act, think carefully, don't be impulsive, and don't be tricked by others.

With this statement, some disciples who hadn't been paying much attention truly listened to the words of the Taiji Master.

Lin Qize and Yu Xitang, along with Yue Qing and a few others, gathered together to discuss the trends in the various countries of Zhongzhou. They seemed rather like they were cramming for an exam at the last minute.

When the imperial authority weakened, and the royal family's power dwindled, the most renowned was not the royal family, but the Chu family, a famous sword saint lineage.

When it comes to the Chu family, everyone unanimously thinks of Chu Jiucheng, who rides alone and stands out from the crowd in the Southern and Northern Heavenly Venerables' Mansion.

Yuan Xi spoke softly: "I hear that among the four strongest cultivators in Zhongzhou, there is a group known as the Four Young Masters of Zhongzhou. Among them is Jian Gongzi Chu Jiucheng."

"It is said that the Chu family lineage, although only having one grandson, Chu Jiucheng, is worth ten times more than any other. His swordsmanship talent is extremely outstanding, he opened his Sword Soul early, and was recognized by the Chu Family Divine Sword, Nine Heavens. Furthermore, he ranks high on both the Little Heaven List and the Human World List..."

Tan Yueqing suddenly raised her head: "The last time I saw him, he was already at the late stage of Yuan Ying cultivation. Now, do you know his current cultivation level?"

It should be the grand completion of a Yuan Ying.

The Five Continents Grand Competition is approaching, and the Chu family also wants Chu Jiucheng to make a name for himself, to be admired by all under heaven. They won't let him break through to become a God of Transformation.

Hearing the song, he nonchalantly asked, "Who are the other three of the Four Young Masters of Zhongzhou?"

Yuan Xi said, "Young Master Tan, Ninth Fang, Young Master Bei Chen Zhu, and Young Master Li Zhi will all be present when the competition officially begins."

They discussed the situation in the Five Nations of Zhongzhou, and also discussed other four continents renowned figures, who might pose a threat. After exchanging information, they had arrived at Yuandu.

The Emperor of Yuanguo, accompanied by his royal family and ministers, personally welcomed them. After some polite greetings, Lin Qi and the others were arranged to stay at the most prosperous inn near the imperial palace in Yuandu.

As soon as I arrived, I received news that the people from Beizhou hadn't arrived yet, but the cultivators from Dongzhou had arrived an hour earlier.

The Taiji Venerable led his people upstairs to rest, and then went upstairs to greet the cultivators who had guided them from Dongzhou.

Knowing that some people couldn't sit still, I relaxed the restrictions and allowed them to come and go as they pleased.

Some disciples were curious about Zhongzhou and immediately took people out to explore the streets.

They settled in the most prosperous district of Yuancheng. Several streets nearby were lined with shops, with countless stores selling talismans, spiritual artifacts, and formations. There were also options for food, drink, entertainment, and everything in between.

Compared to the Nanzhou urban area, this Zhongzhou capital city is several times more prosperous.

Lin Qi knew she had some trouble on her hands, so she wasn't going to join the commotion.

Unexpectedly, she didn't go to join the commotion, but the commotion still found its way to her.

Lin Qi just finished drawing an eighth-grade talisman, preparing to make a few modifications, when he heard someone outside shouting that something had happened.

Lin Qi clutched his pen, then quickly followed her out.

As soon as she opened the door, she came face to face with Tan Yueqing.

Both of them wore expressions of helplessness, understanding that this kind of mishap happening at this time couldn't possibly be a coincidence, despite the fact that Taiji Venerable had cautioned them several times.

Lin Qi smiled casually: "Want to take a look?"

Tan Yueqing lightly breathed out and nodded slightly: "Go take a look."

Just as I rounded the corner, I saw Senior Sister Yuan Xi with a troubled expression on her face.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Nanzhou and Dongzhou disciples clashed, causing a disturbance at the Precious Treasure Pavilion. However, several venerables were invited to the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty this time.

"The Heavenly Xuan Daojun, in charge of the matter, has already set out. It's just that the situation from Dongzhou is aggressive and menacing; it's probably not going to be a pleasant affair…"

Lin Qi and Yuan Xi shijie looked at each other, it seemed that they both understood.

"Senior sister, let's go take a look together too."

"That works."

If the other party really wants to cause trouble, they might not even be safe staying at an inn.

When Lin Qi arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, she realized that it was already packed with people inside and out.

But the cultivators from Dongzhou and Nanzhou stood on opposite sides, clearly separated, in a state of obvious opposition.

Ti Xuan Dao Jun casually glanced outwards and happened to see Lin Qi's curious gaze upon the scene. Instantly, he felt a surge of displeasure.

Lin Qi, Yuanshi……come in with the rest of you.

Lin Qi's expression tightened, she suddenly became serious for a few points, and awkwardly entered the Treasure Pavilion.

At this moment, several 化神 Daoist priests from Dongzhou are also here.

Lin Qi glanced casually and saw that many spirit herbs were scattered on the floor of the Treasure Pavilion, along with broken boxes.

To her surprise, among the disciples standing behind Tianxuan Daojun was Lin Yu.
