Master, when can I become your wife?

At Shenzhan Peak, Ye Junze, who was watching the exchange match from the stands, suddenly saw Lin Qiu walking towards him.

"Oh?"

Ye Junze raised an eyebrow, carefully looking around at Lin Qiu, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Is something missing here?

"Where is your apprentice?"

Ye Junze asked.

Lin Qiu waved his hand dejectedly and said, "Hey! Don't even mention it, it was a wasted trip."

He had been searching for a disciple he liked for a long time but hadn't found one, so he left immediately.

"Um...didn't you have a disciple you liked? Didn't they like you?" Ye Junze asked, puzzled.

Lin Qiu became even more frustrated upon hearing this. "No, I was eliminated."

"Liu, how come those two kids you picked got eliminated? It's such a shame."

"No, what does this have to do with me?"

Lin Qiu rolled his eyes. "The Immortal Inquiry Mirror and the Heart Inquiry Mirror together eliminated 90% of the people. What can I do?"

Ye Junze paused for a moment, then said, "There are still a thousand people left, right? Why don't you just take one as your disciple?"

"There's no one I like."

"You're really picky. Not a single one out of a thousand people meets your standards."

"You don't understand. When you take on a disciple, you have to choose one you truly admire. You can't just take anyone," Lin Qiu said, shaking his head earnestly.

"So, what exactly constitutes 'having one's eye on'?"

"It's a feeling... I don't really know how to describe it."

Ye Junze's lips twitched. "So, are you looking for a disciple or a Daoist partner?"

Lin Qiu immediately replied, "Of course it's an apprentice, but there aren't any suitable ones this time. Let's look again next time, or I'll go out and look for one in a while."

Wasn't Ye Junze's disciple someone he recruited himself?

If Ye Junze can do it, then he certainly can too!

Lin Qiu casually found a place to sit down and looked at the seven arenas below, asking, "What's the situation now?"

"Slight disadvantage in Qi Refining stage, slight advantage in Foundation Establishment stage, sure win in Golden Core stage, great advantage in Nascent Soul stage, evenly matched in Deity Transformation stage, slight disadvantage in Body Integration stage, great advantage in Tribulation Transcending stage."

Ye Junze briefly explained the general situation he observed.

"That's a huge advantage."

Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow. A Golden Core cultivator was guaranteed to win; there was no doubt that it was because of Luo Yunxi.

Luo Yunxi's strength is evident to all; he is stronger than when he was in the Golden Core stage, although it is unknown why he is so strong.

"But why are they arguing so fiercely?"

The audience was incredibly noisy, with half of them being disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect and the other half disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace, who were arguing wildly.

Ye Junze laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? Arguing is an essential part of the exchange competition."

……

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The arenas for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages are almost decided, with all reaching the final stage.

During the Qi Refining stage, the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Dao Seeking Sect were evenly matched.

At this moment, the two who have entered the finals are a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace and a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, the Daoist Sect holds a slight advantage.

The finalists consisted of one disciple from the Heavenly Demon Palace and three disciples from the Dao Seeking Sect.

The Golden Core stage needs no further explanation.

At the Nascent Soul stage, the Dao Seeking Sect holds a significant advantage.

The finalists consisted of one disciple from the Heavenly Demon Palace and seven disciples from the Dao Seeking Sect.

Of course, this so-called advantage is only an apparent advantage.

If the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace are strong enough, it is not impossible for them to turn the tide single-handedly.

The battles between those at the Golden Core stage were the first to begin.

It was also the fastest to end.

As Luo Yunxi stepped onto the stage, she raised her long sword and shouted the words "Open the Heavens".

This battle has now come to an end.

In the Golden Core group, the Dao Seeking Sect emerged victorious.

As for the other groups, the Qi Refining stage was slightly inferior, allowing the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace to take the victory.

However, the Dao Seeking Sect won in both the Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul stages.

At this point, the outcome of this exchange competition was already quite clear.

Even the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace themselves didn't believe they could defeat Wu Lingxiao and Yue Qingge.

For some time to come.

The winner among those at the Nascent Soul stage has also been determined, with a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect emerging victorious.

Next up is the winner of the combined phase.

Unexpectedly, the disciples of the Dao Asking Sect, who were initially at a disadvantage, suddenly gained a significant advantage, with three of them eventually advancing to the finals.

The Heavenly Demon Palace only has one.

But what was even more unexpected was that this disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, forcibly entered the Demon Transformation form and single-handedly defeated three disciples of the Dao Inquiry Sect, which can only be described as incredibly brave.

"This kid is pretty good."

The young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace looked at the Heavenly Demon Palace disciples standing in the Integration Stage arena and said calmly.

Ling Lian nodded slightly. "Yes, he's a good prospect and deserves to be nurtured. It'll be good to give Ling Ye something to do."

Although this exchange competition ultimately ended in failure, it did allow them to find a decent little guy, which is not bad.

It happened at the very moment the final round of the combined arena ended.

The period of tribulation has also ushered in the decisive battle.

Because of Wu Lingxiao and Yue Qingge, there were still five disciples of the Dao Asking Sect when it came to the decisive battle.

"Who goes first?"

Wu Lingxiao asked first, saying that if anyone else wanted to go on stage, he wouldn't mind stepping aside.

"I'm not interested."

Yue Qingge yawned and turned back to the audience seats.

After that, she was no longer needed.

The other three naturally wouldn't compete with Wu Lingxiao for this opportunity and simply gave it up.

Thus, the final battle belonged to Wu Lingxiao.

The original seven arenas were combined into one at this moment, creating a spectacular scene.

Just as Wu Lingxiao was about to step into the arena.

Ye Junze heard Wu Tianqiong's voice.

Wu Tianqiong then summoned him to the council hall.

"grass!"

Ye Junze glanced at Wu Lingxiao standing in the arena, cursed inwardly, and turned to head towards the council hall.

As the peak master, there are certain responsibilities that must be borne.

But the problem now is that he can hardly be sure why Wu Tianqiong called him over.

When Ye Junze arrived at the council hall, the other eleven peak masters were already there.

Upon seeing Ye Junze arrive, Wu Tianqiong immediately smiled and said, "You're here. Have a seat."

Ye Junze immediately raised his hand and said, "Wait, I've noticed something. Ever since I agreed to go to the Heavenly Demon Realm last time, you've been calling me more and more often. Do you think I'm easy to boss around?"

Wu Tianqiong paused for a moment, then explained, "Um... do you think it's possible that it's because you've only been a peak master for a few years, and you've only been in the sect for the past two years, so you feel it's been a long time?"

"That seems to be true."

Ye Junze found that this was indeed the case, so he went to his seat and sat down.

Ye Wuyou patted Ye Junze on the shoulder with great appreciation and said, "That's right, that's it. Don't give him face. You know, your master never comes. You've come every time this time. He must be having a good time."
