Those with penetrating minds would have already seen through the true nature of this grand ceremony by now.
The final test was clearly orchestrated by the three major Demon Sects, specifically for Ancient Buddhism.
The losers were considered "spoils of war" belonging to Ancient Buddhism.
And these "winners" were the most elite individuals among Loose Cultivators in the past century.

or less flatteringly as "picking the fruit," a centennial "harvest" of talented Loose Cultivators.
Why would the forces of the Demon Path covertly collude with the three great overlords of the distant oceans?
Why did the Spirit Clan repeatedly incite monster tides and repeatedly succeed?
Why did the numerous sects of the Demon Path dare to hold a workshop "openly and legitimately" on Dragon Head Island, and even conduct a ceremony?
