Zhongzhou within.
In the central region of a vast island, there was a clearing.
Array after array had been set up, enveloping the entire central area.
Runic symbols associated with the arrays were scattered all around.
Various powerful individuals from the Cultivators Alliance stood atop pillars, channeling mana to maintain the operation of the arrays.
Thousands of combat-ready participants were covered by the arrays in the preparatory area, getting ready for battle.
Meanwhile, outside the clearing.
A massive pavilion was slowly flying towards the clearing.
Having reached near the clearing, the pavilion came to a stop.
On the second floor of the pavilion, numerous Holy Land Masters stepped out, gazing from the second-floor balcony towards the clearing.
With their keen eyesight, overlooking this distance to spy on the area beyond the clearing was nothing short of trivial.
