Emperor Qinghua nodded and waved his sleeve.

Streaks of light twinkled in the sky, and many transparent mirrors appeared around the assembly hall, reflecting the entire scene within.

With the appearance of these mirrors, the Wanling Trees throughout the Southern Continent began to glow.

Cities, towns, villages, countless people stopped their work and looked at the Wanling Trees in astonishment.

"What is this?"

Centered around the Wanling Trees, the scene from the Southern Continent's assembly hall was projected out.

At the same time, in the Three Thousand Immortal Paths, projections also lit up in every city of Wanling Country.

All the Immortals and Demons watched the suddenly appeared scene in surprise.

"At this very moment, the assembly hall has been projected onto the Three Great Continents."

Emperor Qinghua's voice reached every projection.

This competition, the entire process, will be displayed before the eyes of tens of millions of beings.

"Good thing she agreed."

A barely detectable glance from Sun Wukong swept over Ao Luan.

The idea of projecting the competition's scene to the Three Great Continents was his, and for the Southern Continent it was simple, Emperor Qinghua's Divine Skills combined with the Wanling Immortal Path could transform every Wanling Tree.

But if Ao Luan and the Jade Emperor had not agreed to cooperate, he would not have been able to affect the other two continents.

"The opening ceremony is about to begin."

In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor rested his head on his hand and watched the scene before him.

In the Imperial Palace of the Southern Continent, Human King Liu Che also watched with a cold gaze.

Countless eyes were fixed on this competition.

Emperor Qinghua finished his adjustments and turned his gaze to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes to feel it out, and then slightly nodded.

"Let's start!"

At Emperor Qinghua's command, the Taoists uniformly cast their spells, and the sky suddenly turned dim.

In their surprise, people looked up to see the sky above, where clouds were gathering, with neither stars nor moon.

The spreading clouds gradually formed a pond of lotuses, with a dim, lusterless lotus throne floating in the middle, and nothing else.

"What's this about?"

As people wondered, streaks of golden light shone from the stands.

Delighted exclamations rose from the stands, gradually merging into a chorus.

In the blink of an eye, the stands were twinkling with specks of starlight, as bright as daylight.

Those were petals of pale golden color.

People couldn't help reaching out their hands, and the petals, like sentient fireflies, fell into their palms three by three.

"The Wanling Immortal Path is not only used for combat."

Emperor Qinghua spoke: "This is a fight to decide who will own the Spiritual Network, but during the opening ceremony, I invite everyone to show off the beauty of Immortal Dao to the Three Great Continents."

"How should we show this?"

A contestant murmured quietly.

"Use the Wanling Immortal Path to win the delight of the crowd, and their petals will fly onto you."

Hearing the murmurs, Emperor Qinghua said: "Before the end of the opening ceremony, all of you need to bring all the petals from the stands to the lotus throne in the sky."

He waved his sleeve again, and a timer appeared on the lotus throne in the form of an hourglass.

"The timer starts now, the time of two incense sticks."

Emperor Qinghua said: "There are a total of 105,000 petals, each person who gets a hundred petals will pass the challenge."

The contestants were taken aback for a moment, then relaxed, this seemed quite simple.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but smile.

"This opening ceremony is quite interesting."

The Queen Mother, sitting to his right, curiously asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"A hundred petals seem simple, but it could turn out to be 'the dry dying of drought, and the flooded dying of deluge.'"

The Jade Emperor replied.

The Queen Mother immediately understood.

She shifted her gaze to the scene.

After a few words, Emperor Qinghua gave no more instructions.

The contestants looked at each other, many still did not understand the meaning of Emperor Qinghua's words.

"Master, how should we display the beauty of Immortal Dao?"

Seven Spider Demons asked Immortal Zhen Yuan.

"Isn't that simple?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan finished speaking and with a wave of his hand, the illusionary stars in the sky complied with his summons.

Starlight drifted down onto his robe, immediately sparking off specks of silver light.

It was a robe with wide sleeves and hem, and at that moment, with the shimmering starlight, it seemed as if he was wearing the starry galaxy itself.

In that moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

"This opening ceremony must have been created just for me."

With another wave of his hand, the starlight transformed into eight flying horses and an open-top carriage.

The Immortal boarded the carriage, which took off from the ground, causing a wave of gasps in the stands.

"So swaggering!"

"What kind of spell is this?"

Across the Three Great Continents, people could hardly contain their amazement.

They had never seen such a beautiful spell before.

"Who is that young man?"

The girls were particularly entranced, their gaze stolen by Immortal Zhen Yuan.

As Immortal Zhen Yuan rode the carriage flying over the stands, an unimaginably magnificent scene unfolded before the people.

Petals fell like rain from the stands, cascading toward Immortal Zhen Yuan, cloaking him in a cape made of countless petals.

This scene sparked waves of cheers in the stands.

The audience from all over became excited.

Immortal Zhen Yuan drove the carriage, accompanied by the sky-full of petals, through the mist toward the lotus seat.

People looked up to the glorious carriage passing over the lotus pond, petals dripping from Immortal Zhen Yuan like rain, turning into light upon touching the lotus seat.

The petals on the lotus seat bloomed layer upon layer, illuminating the sky.

At that moment, the stands erupted completely.

"Wowwwwww!!!"

"Oh my god, so beautiful!"

Many faces were flushed with excitement.

"You're right."

Among the frenzied crowd, Emperor Qinghua said to Sun Wukong: "The Wanling Trees from all over are jubilant."

"I know."

Sun Wukong nodded, feeling it.

Joy, the joy that came from the spiritual energy of various places.

Endless possibilities, this is the Wanling Immortal Path he was pursuing!

Sun Wukong turned his gaze back to the field.

"Keep dawdling, and all the petals will be snatched up by him alone."

His voice snapped the stunned contestants back to reality.

In the next moment, Ao Luan's radiant figure flew into the sky.

With a gentle flick of her long sleeves, she easily unleashed grand and magnificent fireworks, instantly brilliant above the guild hall.

Thousands of fireworks bloomed, forming a sky filled with beautiful floral patterns.

"Wowwwwww!"

Again, the stands boiled over, petals flying towards the young girl.

Another eye-catching fellow.

Sun Wukong's eyes moved to the other contestants.

One by one, contestants displayed their spells – of varying strengths but all quite spectacular.

Someone sculpted Immortal Realm's pavilions and palaces out of clouds, even adorning them with multi-colored auspicious birds circling and dancing.

Someone played the zither in mid-air, others transformed into extravagant dancing costumes, ascending to dance gracefully in the sky.

In an instant, the guild hall was like a dreamlike illusion.

This was the beauty of human celebration.

For the first time since ancient days, the world realized that spells could be used in such a way.

Extremely glamorous, unparalleled!

In Wanling Country, Daji who was eating noodles and watching the drama backstage, couldn't sit still anymore.

"I should be up there!"

She regretted not participating in this competition.

It was over.

Her spotlight was about to be stolen by those swaggering folks!
