The rain had stopped, and the clouds dispersed, revealing rainbows that arched like bridges across the sky above the Holy Gate.
Tan Yun walked steadily, his expression calm as he headed towards the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion.
Along the way, he encountered disciples from the Holy Spirit Lineage, Five Soul Lineage, Beast Spirit Lineage, and Artifact Spirit Lineage. Although their gazes were unfriendly, none dared to cause trouble.
After all, today was a significant day, and everyone was preparing for the ten veins grand competition.
As he approached the pavilion, Tan Yun's mind was focused, and he could sense the tension in the air. The competition would not only test their strength but also determine their future standings within the sect.
Entering the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion, he noticed that many elite disciples were already present, discussing strategies and outcomes.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, reminding himself of the importance of this competition and his goals. He had overcome countless challenges to reach this point, and he wouldn’t let anything derail his plans.
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to him. It was Fang Canghai, a fellow disciple from the Five Soul Lineage.
“Tan Yun, are you ready for the competition? I’ve heard that there are some strong opponents this time,” Fang Canghai said, a hint of concern in his voice.
Tan Yun smiled slightly, “I’m prepared. No matter who stands in my way, I will give it my all.”
The two exchanged a few more words before Tan Yun turned his gaze towards the center of the pavilion, where the sovereign would soon make an announcement about the competition.
As he waited, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Whispers filled the air, and he sensed a plot brewing among some of the disciples.
He had to remain vigilant. The competition was not just a test of strength; it was also a game of wits.
With determination in his heart, Tan Yun steeled himself for what lay ahead. The day was just beginning, and he knew that it would be one filled with unexpected twists and turns.
The incident at Fang City Life and Death Platform, where Tan Yun had killed twenty-six disciples who had achieved great perfection in the refining soul realm, loomed in their minds, stripping them of any desire to confront Tan Yun.
However, they firmly believed Tan Yun would eventually die!
They believed that with Tan Yun’s ability to challenge higher levels, he would undoubtedly participate in the Immortal Sect Ten Veins Grand Competition five years later, at which point, the strong from all lineages would certainly kill him!
At the same time, they were baffled as they had personally seen and heard that Tan Yun had been taken away by Elder Law Enforcement. They thought Tan Yun would either die or suffer greatly, but unexpectedly, he appeared before them vibrant and unscathed!
Tan Yun ignored the unfriendly, questioning, and fearful gazes of passersby and entered the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion under the rainbow’s light.
The Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion primarily sold magic treasures, and due to the good reputation of the manager, Mr. Know-it-all, there was a steady stream of disciples coming to purchase magic treasures.
On the first floor of the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion, Supreme Spirit Artifacts were sold.
The second floor had low-grade magic weapons; the third floor had medium-grade magical artifacts; the fourth floor had superior-grade magical artifacts; the fifth floor had supreme treasure artifacts; the sixth floor had low-grade sub-respect artifacts… and so on, with the ninth floor housing supreme grade sub-respect artifacts.
Due to the refining soul realm disciples being unable to exert the full power of sub-respect artifacts, no respect grade artifacts were available for sale within the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion.
As Tan Yun stepped into the first-floor hall, some disciples from various lineages below the sixth layer of the refining soul realm looked at him with three parts malice and seven parts fear.
