Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Regardless of how shocked the Western disciples were, the fact remained that both men had lost the ability to fight again.

Upon hearing this result, the five sages' gazes met in the air, and their invisible thoughts instantly communicated.

A moment later, a magnificent and powerful Daoist voice resounded in the ears of every disciple:

"Maitreya and Qiongxiao, a draw!"

"The treasures on the arena will be decided by us, one for each person, to ensure fairness."

As the voice faded, the two saints, Zhunti and Tongtian, on the cloud bed, each released a stream of pure spiritual energy that entered the bodies of Yunxiao and Maitreya.

"boom!"

In an instant, Qiongxiao's aura began to recover and rise. In that brief moment, Qiongxiao actually seized the opportunity to break through to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Just as Qiongxiao was breaking through, the golden flames that had been burning Maitreya's body on his chest were completely extinguished with the help of the Sage Zhunti. The hole pierced by the golden phoenix hairpin began to recover rapidly after the golden flames stopped obstructing it.

Then, with a casual gesture, one of the orbs of light fell into Maitreya's hand.

Immediately afterwards, Maitreya, guided by the Sage Cundi, returned to the forefront of the Western Sect disciples.

Tongtian glanced at Maitreya, who had already left the arena, and the ball of light in his hand, and simply shook his head and smiled.

Although he found Zhunti's act of choosing rewards on behalf of his disciples distasteful, he said nothing.

After all, the reward was sealed by his elder brother himself, and even he couldn't tell what was inside. Could it be that Zhunti's cultivation level could surpass his?

However, Tongtian did not keep everyone waiting for long.

With a casual wave of his hand, he sent Qiongxiao, who was still breaking through her cultivation level, and the golden phoenix hairpin nailed to the arena back to the area where the Jie Sect disciples were located.

The arena battle in the Golden Immortal Realm has come to a complete end, with both Qiongxiao and Maitreya suffering heavy losses, and the Sage deciding that each would receive a treasure.

This result is an unexpected joy for the disciples of the three religions.

The two Western saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, had deep regret and pity in their eyes.

The two magical treasures, which were already within their grasp, unexpectedly lost their fighting power due to the unpredictable intervention of Qiongxia and her desperate attempt to capture Maitreya.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable wore a calm smile, seemingly approving of the performance of his disciples Manjushri, Cihang, and others.

The Tongtian Sect Leader raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of admiration for Qiongxiao's valiant effort to secure a draw at the last moment.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention turned to the last arena—the Taiyi Realm.

Although only one magical treasure floats above the arena this year, and there is only one of its kind.

This signifies that the struggle between the three religions and the Western religion has entered its final stage.

In the first three matches, the disciples of the Three Pure Ones and the disciples of the Western Sect each won one match in the Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal realms.

The Golden Immortal realm ended in a draw.

Therefore, the outcome of the Taiyi Realm battle will determine the final showdown between the disciples of the Three Pure Ones and the disciples of the Two Western Saints.

More than ten Taiyi Golden Immortals confronted two Taiyi from the Western Sect.

As a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, I naturally have a good understanding of the situation.

But what if something unexpected happens and the opponent wins in a surprise?

That would be a real loss of face.

After all, on the arena, both sides' cultivation levels are suppressed to the same level.

If the final reward is taken by a Western disciple, three out of five will be lost.

Those disciples are probably going to completely disgrace the Three Pure Ones.

Duobao, Guangchengzi, and the others looked slightly grave.

The behavior of Maitreya and other disciples of the Western Sect shows that although the Western Sect was located in a poor area, as disciples of a saint,

Especially those who are directly taught by a sage, they all have one or two magical treasures to protect them.

Although the disciples of the three religions may have a slight advantage in the number of spiritual treasures.

But to say that there is absolute certainty is not necessarily true.

Only Xuandu, the teacher of the Human Sect, remained calm and expressionless at this moment.

He didn't seem to care much about the upcoming duel.

After a brief pause, the grand Daoist voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable once again resounded in the ears of every disciple:

"The Taiyi Realm Arena is now open."

"All those who enter the arena will have their cultivation suppressed to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

The brief announcement instantly ignited the fighting spirit of all the Taiyi Realm cultivators present.

Compared to the Golden Immortal Realm, the Taiyi Realm is the true arena for the elites of the three religions and the mainstays of society to compete!

At this level, one has begun to utilize the laws of the Great Dao, and the power, magical abilities, and magical treasures are vastly different from those of a Golden Immortal.

The vast arena space expanded once more, its Dao patterns becoming increasingly complex, and the restrictive power emanating from it made even Taiyi Realm cultivators feel a sense of unease.

Clearly, the restrictions set up by the sages in the Taiyi Realm arena are more powerful, allowing the disciples to unleash their full supernatural powers and spells, which also means that the upcoming battles will be even more intense.

Powerful auras surged from the disciples of each sect, stirring up the spiritual energy of the heavens.

The disciples of the Chan Sect, led by Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect, had a solemn expression, and his body was filled with surging Daoist energy, faintly resembling giant waves crashing against the sky; beside him, Chi Jingzi held the Yin-Yang Mirror, Taiyi Zhenren had bright eyes, and Yu Ding Zhenren had a refined aura...!

These few individuals were the absolute core of the Taiyi Realm of the Chan Sect.

The Jie Sect camp also possessed an impressive aura.

Duobao stood at the front, his figure slightly thinner than Maitreya who had just stepped down from the stage.

At this moment, Duobao, like Guangchengzi, had a solemn expression, and countless precious lights seemed to flow and surge within his eyes as they opened and closed.

Jin Ling's beauty and elegance blend seamlessly, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Wudang was as calm as water, but the aura it emitted was almost identical to that of Jinling.

Among the Seven Immortals who accompanied him were Wuyun Xian, Jinguang Xian, and others, whose blood and qi were mixed with the celestial light of Shangqing that soared into the sky...!

Among the outer disciples, Zhao Gongming had tiger-like eyes and a dragon-like aura. Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls surrounded his body, with various underwater worlds appearing and disappearing within them.

Yunxiao, dressed in white, was aloof and cold. The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron appeared above his head, but Yunxiao's gaze was fixed on the Western Sect's Medicine Master and Mahasthamaprapta.

On the Western Sect's side, only the Medicine Master and the Great Strength Bodhisattva had to face the difficult gazes of the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects.

The two men looked at Maitreya with some hostility, as if to say, "You're so impressive, fighting the whole field all by yourself."

But they're expected to play the entire game? Do they even have the ability?

As the auras of many Taiyi Realm cultivators clashed and undercurrents surged, speculation arose about who would be the first to step onto the stage—Guang Chengzi, Duobao, or perhaps Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao, who had just entered the Taiyi Realm.

"Whoosh...!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, an unremarkable figure silently appeared in the center of the empty arena.

Without any grand display or unusual fluctuations of laws and principles, it was as if he had simply taken a step and arrived on the arena from the futon.
