Chapter 770 Registering for the Competition
With a smile, Ru Long told them about his recent situation and reassured them not to worry. Then, he took out a storage ring containing some precious spirit stones, which he gave to Liu Ruyan and the others, instructing them to cultivate diligently and improve their strength. He also cautioned them to keep this a secret, as he was always cautious in his actions.
After completing these tasks, the part of the dragon's soul returned through the cosmos.
Ryu was very pleased. This attempt not only proved that the new function of the universe was reliable, but also allowed him to make contact with his wives and concubines on the Immortal Continent.
Although he longed for the Immortal Continent and Earth, he was currently too busy with other matters to personally return to either place.
The registration period for disciples of county-level sects within Chang'an Prefecture to advance to prefecture-level sects has arrived. This means that Ru Long needs to leave seclusion to handle related matters.
Although Ru Long possessed numerous treasures from the storage realm he had seized from a powerful Earth Immortal, he harbored reservations about using the most important magical artifacts among them. If others recognized these artifacts as belonging to an Earth Immortal, it might bring him unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Ru Long dared not use them lightly.
Of course, he had considered selling these magical treasures. However, to sell them safely, he would need a robe that could prevent even a Celestial Immortal from spying on them. But such a robe was itself a high-grade treasure, and possessing it would undoubtedly make him a target of everyone's attention. Moreover, who could guarantee that it wouldn't be discovered? After careful consideration, Ru Long felt that this method was far too risky, so he decisively abandoned the idea.
Since he couldn't handle these magical artifacts himself, entrusting them to Confucian merchant organizations for sale seemed like a good option. However, this might cause trouble for the Confucian merchants, who were still in their infancy, and Ru Long naturally didn't want that to happen. After careful consideration, he finally decided to temporarily set these things aside and wait for a more suitable opportunity to deal with them.
Ru Long decided to use spirit stones to buy some necessary equipment. He searched the market and finally settled on a rather good sword. Although it was only a low-grade immortal artifact, its quality and power satisfied Ru Long quite a bit. He named the sword "Return to One Sword".
After purchasing the Guiyi Blade, Rulong selected some other necessary equipment and then returned to the Guiyi Sect with satisfaction.
Across the vast territory of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, numerous sects exist, divided into different levels, including county-level sects, prefecture-level sects, state-level sects, and state-level sects. These sects are all under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, and there is a clear hierarchical relationship between them.
This hierarchical division not only reflects the strength and influence of a sect, but also provides disciples with an orderly talent advancement path. Disciples from lower-level sects can demonstrate their strength and potential by participating in competitions organized by government agencies at various levels.
In this system, outstanding disciples will have the opportunity to advance to a higher-level sect, gaining access to better cultivation resources and development opportunities. The higher-level sects and the imperial court will then provide generous rewards to the original sects that accept these disciples, incentivizing more sects to cultivate outstanding talent. Of course, top-tier sects have requirements regarding the background of their cultivators.
Guiyi Sect, as one of the many sects in the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, also follows this rule. This time, five disciples who had reached the Dao Attainment Realm—Rulong, Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu, and Xiao Hua—resolutely signed up to participate in the competition. Although the old Daoist Guiyi felt somewhat reluctant, he understood that this was the rule of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, and that the sect might also gain considerable benefits from it, so he didn't say much.
The competition was held at the martial arts arena in Chang'an County, a spacious and magnificent place, surrounded by a huge crowd, creating a lively atmosphere. The imperial court dispatched a large number of soldiers to maintain order and ensure the smooth conduct of the competition.
