After the disciples returned from their expedition to the hidden realm, they brought back various herbs and materials. These were then placed in a designated box within the sect, where they would be evaluated for their quality. The students were delighted to receive a large number of points based on the quality of the herbs and materials they had collected. These points could be used to purchase spiritual root enhancer liquid and other treasures from the student mall. As the sect leveled up, the student mall introduced new items such as the basic spiritual root enhancer and the mid-level spiritual root enhancer, which were considered essential. Additionally, there were other items available, such as spiritual treasures based on different elements, although these were quite expensive for the disciples at the moment. Each disciple purchased the basic spiritual root enhancer for their normal spiritual root, while the mid-level spiritual root enhancer was specifically used by Quan Ning to obtain the best spiritual root.
Li Tian, Min Mung, and Ling Ji Tian were the main lineup members who visited the competition, accompanied by a high-level member from the probe hall as a hidden member. As forty students arrived at the sect's gate, other students encouraged them for the competition before they departed for the designated country. During their journey, they encountered various sensory experiences and successfully reached the location of the sect competition.
During the sect competition, several other sects arrived and their elders could be seen conversing with each other. When Li Tian spotted a girl, he was astonished and exclaimed, "Sister, why are you here?" Upon hearing his voice, she turned towards him and replied, "Brother, you are here too!" They engaged in a conversation about their respective roles in the sect. Li Tian asked her why she was there, and she explained that she had become an elder in the outer student division. The sect had assigned two teams, one for inner students and one for outer students, and she was leading the outer hall while their aunt was in charge of the inner hall. She also mentioned that she had visited home after receiving news of their grandfather's death. Their father had suggested that you visited the old sect to revive it. Li Tian expressed that if he hadn't done so, their uncle and his family might have been trapped in the hidden realm. Upon hearing this, she exclaimed, "Uncle is alive? Where is he now?" Li Tian informed her that he had gone to the clan to visit. Suddenly, a voice called out, "Li Tian, you're here too!" It was Li Tian's maternal aunt, and they began discussing family matters. Li Tian introduced his disciples to Li Er and Suan Xiao. When they saw Quan Ning, Li Er remarked, "Brother, you have chosen a talented first disciple with a peak spiritual root and ice elemental ability." Mao Min was also present, and they were surprised to see her. Li Er commented, "Brother, you have chosen excellent disciples. Let's see how they perform."
The arrival of an elder signaled the commencement of an explanation regarding the sect competition and its regulations. The elder proceeded to clarify that the competition would be conducted in multiple batches, with low-level sects grouped together alongside the outer halls of mid-level sects. Similarly, the outer halls of high-level sects and mid-level sects would form another batch, while the high-level sects would constitute a separate batch altogether. The competition would entail one-on-one battles between sects, with the victorious sect progressing to the next round until only the final sect remained. Each match would consist of four rounds, namely pill making, weapon making, sword fighting, and martial arts combat. The winner of each round would advance to the subsequent stage.
