**Chapter 34: The Grand Elders**
As Denny Cing made his way through the bustling halls of the Bull Fight Sect, he knew that he had grown significantly since his departure. The aura he emanated was nothing short of monstrosity and terrifying. His bearing had matured, and his energy was dense and powerful. A mysterious dark aura seemed to shroud him, adding to his imposing presence.
It wasn't long before he encountered Grand Elder Han and Sect Master Liu Cung, two of the most esteemed figures in the sect. Their expressions were a mix of surprise and terror as they took in Denny Cing's transformation. Grand Elder Han, known for his wisdom, was the first to speak.
"Denny Cing, is that truly you?" he asked, his voice quivering with a mixture of awe and apprehension.
Denny Cing nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Yes, Grand Elder. I have returned."
Sect Master Liu Cung's eyes widened as he studied Denny Cing. "Your aura… It's as if you've undergone a profound metamorphosis. You're still at the war realm, but this power is beyond anything we've seen."
Denny Cing spoke calmly, "I've discovered a place of incredible enlightenment, where my abilities were honed to their fullest potential."
Grand Elder Han and Sect Master Liu Cung exchanged a glance, and a knowing look passed between them. It was clear that Denny Cing's journey had taken him to extraordinary places, places where few had ever ventured.
The conversation then turned to the upcoming grand competition. Denny Cing learned that only martial artists of law realm and below were allowed to participate. This was because the God Relic, the arena for the grand competition, had a powerful light barrier that restricted higher realm cultivators.
Sect Master Liu Cung's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke, "Denny Cing, this is an opportunity for us to shine once more. It has been years since the Bull Fight Sect claimed a position in the top three. Our younger generation has faced challenges, but with your return, we have hope."
Grand Elder Han added, "We have our eyes on the top three positions this time. To enter the God Relic, one must possess at least one of the twenty light tokens. It won't be easy, but with your newfound strength, we stand a chance."
Denny Cing's resolve hardened. He had returned to the sect not only to prove himself but also to help restore its former glory. The grand competition would be the stage where they would once again shine, and he was determined to make it happen.
