Chapter 409 Sparring and Competition 1
Seeing the two completely different reactions from Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui, Yunxi smiled slightly and told them the first-hand information she had gathered.

Lin Keyang's brow furrowed even more tightly. After listening to Yunxi's story, he spoke:

"Senior Sister Ranxi, according to the information you have, the evil cultivators will definitely cause trouble at the Five Regions Grand Competition held by the Immortal Transformation Sect. Wouldn't all the disciples who go to participate in the competition be in danger?"

Before Yunxi could speak, Zhang Lingrui interjected:
"There are definitely dangers, but shouldn't we cultivators rise to the challenge? Just because we know that evil cultivators will take advantage of the situation, should we cancel the competition? Wouldn't that just embolden them and make them think we're afraid?"

As a sword cultivator, Zhang Lingrui has no shortage of unwavering drive.

Yunxi smiled slightly after hearing this, which meant she agreed with Zhang Lingrui's statement. However, as a friend, she also had her own considerations, so she continued:

"Since the sect has already received the news in advance, it will definitely make corresponding arrangements and will not let the evil cultivators have their way. Therefore, in addition to Nascent Soul stage cultivators who can directly register, Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stage disciples who want to participate in the Five Domains Competition must go through the selection process. The sect leader has been busy with this matter these past two days."

I won't interfere with your decisions, but as a friend, I want to make sure you have the ability to protect yourselves should you accidentally fall into the trap of evil cultivators. Otherwise, I really don't want you to get involved in this mess, because nothing is more important than your own lives.

Zhang Lingrui rubbed his hands together and said:

"Haha! I haven't even touched a sword since I advanced! Senior Sister Ranxi, you've done us the honor, so we have no reason not to accept. Please go all out."

Lin Keyang glanced at his eager friend beside him and wanted to facepalm again. The two of them had just advanced to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Ranxi was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, there was still a difference of two minor stages between them. Moreover, with Ranxi's combat strength, even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be her match.

However, he did want to test his own strength and see where the gap was between himself and the "genius disciple". He agreed with one of the other party's statements: nothing is more important than one's own life. If the crisis is beyond one's capacity to bear, it is best not to rush in headfirst.

So Lin Keyang followed Zhang Lingrui's words and said:
“Senior Sister Ranxi, Lingrui and I understand your intentions. So let’s go to the sect’s arena right now.”

"it is good."

Yunxi readily agreed. She hadn't warmed up since recovering from her injury, so today would be her warm-up for the competition.

The three of them left Lingxue Peak together and headed to Doufa Peak within the Haoran Sect.

On the way, Yunxi sent a message to Elder Han, asking him to open the arena ahead of time, and that she would cover the cost of spirit stones and points.

Since all three are Nascent Soul True Monarchs, their destructive power is second only to Deity Transformation cultivators. Therefore, even in a sparring match, they must take precautions. Otherwise, the entire inner sect could be destroyed by the three of them. Using the arena will deduct sect points, and activating the protective shield requires spirit stones to maintain, so they must prepare in advance.

Elder Han of the Disciples Hall was compiling the list of disciples who had registered for the Five Domains Grand Competition when a message talisman flew in front of him. After reading the contents, Elder Han's eyes widened. He immediately sent a message using his inner sect elder identity jade token, then took the jade key to open the arena and hurriedly left the Disciples Hall.

The two late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples who were helping them exchanged a glance, their eyes burning with a fierce thirst for gossip.

"Did you see that? Elder Han is holding the key to open a Grade A arena!"

"Of course I saw it. I'm not blind. Who do you think wanted to fight and activate the sect's largest arena?"

"How would I know? But judging from Elder Han's expression, neither of the two who stepped onto the stage should be simple. Do you think it's a personal grudge?"

"I don't know, I really want to go and see."

"We're still on duty, so don't even think about it!"

"Tch, what's the big deal? Just because I can't go doesn't mean others can't. I'll send a message to my senior brothers right now and ask them to go see the excitement for me."

After saying that, he took out a communication talisman from his storage bag and started sending a message.

Upon hearing this, another disciple's eyes lit up, and he began sending messages to his friends.

In less than a quarter of an hour, news of high-ranking cultivators from the sect fighting in the arena to settle personal grudges spread throughout the inner sect. Every cultivator who received the news rushed to the Battle Peak of the Haoran Sect. Some disciples were simply there to watch the excitement, while others came to observe and learn from the battles, making the Battle Peak bustling with activity. Yunxi and her two companions didn't use their escape light within the sect but instead walked to the Battle Peak. On the way, Yunxi inquired about Cao Yi.

"That kid Cao Yi was lucky. He had a good harvest in the secret realm of Baohua Mountain and condensed his Nascent Soul before us. Then he took a sect mission and went out. He should have no interest in this Five Regions Competition. He only has the Dao of Arrays in his heart."

Before leaving, he sent me a message talisman, saying he was going to sense the flow of heaven and earth and comprehend the method of setting up an array using the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, and that he wouldn't be returning to his sect for a while.

Zhang Lingrui answered Yunxi's question.

"That's good."

Yunxi nodded after hearing this.

She felt that Cao Yi was quite talented in the art of array formations, as evidenced by his ability to break the evil array set up by Xiao He. Given time to set up an array, an array master is practically invincible among those of the same level, so she wasn't worried about Cao Yi's safety at all.

When the three arrived at Doufa Peak, a number of sect disciples had already gathered there.

"Look, isn't that True Monarch Ranxi of Lingxue Peak?"

"Yes! Yes! The other two beside her are True Lord Lin from Gang Peak and True Lord Zhang from Jian Peak. Could it be that they are the ones who are fighting this time?"

"But the three of them seem to be having a pleasant conversation, and they don't look like they have any personal grudges!"

Someone immediately chimed in:
"We can still have a friendly competition even if we don't have any personal grudges!"

"Quick, grab the front row seats!"

Someone reminded them, and the disciples who were waiting at the foot of the mountain suddenly rushed up to the top.

Yunxi and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unspoken emotions. They had heard the junior disciples' discussions, and it was clear that someone had misunderstood the reason for their competition.

Zhang Lingrui waved his hand and said:

"It's alright, it won't affect our sparring. Let's go straight to the summit."

This time, neither Yunxi nor Lin Keyang objected. The three of them vanished from their original spot in a flash, and when they reappeared, they were already next to the largest arena at the summit.

Elder Han had been waiting for a while, and he was standing respectfully beside Venerable Haohui, answering the other party's questions.

Upon seeing Venerable Haohui, the three of them stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Venerable Haohui."

Haohui waved his hand and said:
"Are you three itching for a match?"

Yunxi chuckled and then used telepathy to explain the reason to Venerable Haohui.

Hao Hui glanced at Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui. He recognized them; both had worked their way up steadily. Without Yun Xi, they would definitely have perished in the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm. He wanted to see their strength, so he smiled and said:

"I will be your referee, come up to the arena!"

　More to come later.
