Two months, the time was neither too short not too long.
But that was only for normal people. For someone like Jian Shen however who spent the entire time copped up inside a room and cultivating when he wasn't resting, those 60 days felt the same as an entire year.
After all, he might have been fine with other things, but forcing himself to not get intoxicated with his women and spend time with them made Jian Shen feel that the time he spent was longer than it actually was.
Still, the result from these two months wasn't short and made up for how bored Jian Shen was during the entire time he cultivated.
Considering how strong and huge his soul had become by now, Jian Shen kept on splitting his soul without having to worry about resting and recovering it to its peak right away.
Due to this, in just two months he split his Nascent Soul seven times causing seven small orbs to float around his Nascent Soul.
Unfortunately, seven wasn't enough for him and only after he split his soul two more times once he finished recovering it could he start fusing them with spirits of beasts which would affectively increase his battle strength by many times.
Just imagining his body covered in dragon scales with huge wings on his back and arms like claws that held the two swords, Jian Shen almost started grinning crazily from thinking about how cool he would look like that.
Wouldn't women find themselves falling in love with him the very moment they saw him like that?
...
Other than constantly imagining how cool he would look once he began infusing spirit beasts with the souls he split, Jian Shen left the courtyard and caused a huge commotion on the road while he travelled to his destination.
Entering what looked like a mansion which was meant to be used the person who would control the entire city, Jian Shen who came here along with all of his women instantly became the centre of attraction here as well.
After all, it wasn't every day that even one woman of such a level could be seen much less so many of them at the same time and same place.
Still, this was one of those situations where many people didn't even dare look at the women for too long even though they were right in front of them.
Considering how all that would get themselves killed was a single glance being spotted by Jian Shen who'd then most likely use his super-strong fox to kill them, there were less than a handful of people that would date look at them.
But even they didn't do so due to how important the upcoming competition was.
With the fate of becoming the single clan who could rule the city at stake, there was no place for carelessness right now.
Moving straight to the huge backyard where all of the four clans had already gathered here with their geniuses waiting to enter, Jian Shen understood that he was the last one to arrive.
Smiling and thinking that it was true how those that came last were always the coolest, Jian Shen only nodded his head towards Cui Yan but didn't show any sign of approaching her.
Given that he didn't know anyone from the Cui Clan, Jian Shen felt that it was better for him to not go over there and feel awkward.
"Now that everyone is here and all of you know the rules, we're going to start the competition right away."
Stepping up to speak was none other the clan leader of the Dong Clan because it was their clan which obtained the first rank the last time.
Due to this Jian Shen felt that he couldn't really say that coming in the first place didn't have any benefits.
"In a moment tokens will be handed out after which you can enter the separate realm immediately. The competition will take place for exactly thrifty days and at the end of it everyone will be kicked out immediately."
"Also, if you feel like you're in trouble, destroying your own token will let you come outside."
As he finished explaining, soldiers from the Dong Clan stepped up and began giving out the tokens to everyone that came here to attend the competition.
Observing the other Jian Shen saw that each clan had brought with themselves close to three hundred members from the younger generation.
"Brother in law."
Walking towards Jian Shen and making everyone look at them due to words she used, Wu Ning who was prepared for Yanyu's possessive attack easily sidestepped them.
"So you decided to keep her? Not that I'm surprised given how cute she is."
After flattering Yanyu who despite not speaking well could understand everything, Wu Ning explained why there's were so many contestants from each side.
"It isn't just the younger generation of each clan here. Quite a few of them are rogue cultivators and young ones from smaller clans who want to get in the good graces of the clans."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen took his own token from the soldier when Wu Ning continued by saying, "What do you plan on doing about the young girl, brother in law?"
"Huh?"
"You know that you can't take her inside with you, right?"
Frowning a little since he didn't know that and Yanyu was really picky about whom she would be with when not with him, Jian Shen asked, "Since she isn't even a cultivator, can't I just take her with me?"
