As time went on, more and more people arrived.
As the event was about to begin, Sun Mingcheng, Venerable Feiyao, Kong Yunsheng, and the others felt a slight disappointment as they realized that Ji Haoyuan, whom they were eagerly anticipating, still had not arrived.
However, it was not difficult to understand.
At this time, he had not yet reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.
So naturally, he should prioritize his own cultivation when he has time.
And to be blunt, this kind of exchange among the True Inheritors didn't really hold significant appeal for Ji Haoyuan.
On the contrary, given his situation, attending might actually be better than not attending.
Nevertheless, without Ji Haoyuan, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.
Especially Venerable Feiyao.
Right now, he was the only disciple present from the Mahayana Cave Heaven, and he was hoping to spar with Ji Haoyuan.
But it seemed that opportunity would not arise.
Just when everyone was convinced that Ji Haoyuan would not attend this exchange among the True Inheritors,
a beam of Escape Light suddenly flew in from a distance.
This immediately caught the attention of everyone present.
All eyes turned to look.
A handsome young man dressed in blue appeared in the sight of everyone.
Who else could this be but Ji Haoyuan?
"Senior Brother Nanhua!"
A smile of joy first appeared on Sun Mingcheng's face.
Without hesitating, he went forward to greet him.
"Haha, Junior Brother Sun, I'm not late, am I?"
Seeing Sun Mingcheng approaching, Ji Haoyuan smiled and bowed to him.
"Not late, not late, just in time."
Sun Mingcheng returned the greeting while smiling and shaking his head.
Once the two of them were among the crowd,
Ji Haoyuan proceeded to exchange greetings with some of the familiar faces present.
Among them, of course, were Lu Yuanshan, Dai Yunfang, and Pei Guanghua.
The three of them were naturally quite courteous to Ji Haoyuan.
Not for any other reason but because of his position as the chief of Grand Cyan Cave Heaven, which warranted special treatment.
However, this made Venerable Feiyao standing on the other side slightly displeased.
Before Ji Haoyuan arrived, he was undoubtedly the center of attention.
Yet with Ji Haoyuan's arrival, almost everyone went over to greet him.
Even Lu Yuanshan and the others, who were elders from Chongming Hall with a Void Refining realm, treated him so courteously.
This caused a great sense of imbalance in Venerable Feiyao's heart.
Let's see.
As the chief stalwart of Grand Cyan Cave Heaven, let's see how capable you truly are.
I hope you won't disappoint me too much.
Soon, the exchange among the True Inheritors formally began.
Ji Haoyuan was with Lu Yuanshan and others.
It wasn't that he deliberately chose this; rather, Lu Yuanshan and the others invited him.
The entire initial exchange and trading segment, to be honest, didn't quite interest Ji Haoyuan.
After all, with his status, he wasn't really lacking in cultivation resources.
Unless they were resources that Grand Cyan Cave Heaven currently lacked, or truly precious ones.
Otherwise, as the chief, asking Bai Lu for some resources wasn't a difficult matter.
And so it was.
More than ten days passed quickly.
When the previous two segments concluded, they finally reached the most important part of this event—the mutual sparring exchange.
Rumble!
At the same time,
two enormous auras suddenly appeared in the sky above everyone.
These two auras were like two large suns.
Majestic and vast, they were blinding.
In that moment, everyone present,
including Lu Yuanshan and others, bowed towards the direction of those auras.
"We greet the two Celestial Monarchs!"
Indeed.
Appearing over them were the masters of this Grotto Heaven, Master Tianxu, and Master Kunyang of Jade Flower Cave Heaven.
"No need for formalities."
A gentle voice came slowly.
It was the voice of Master Tianxu.
"For this sparring exchange, everything should be done with restraint.
Do not rely on any Magical Treasures or external items, use only your Daoist Skills.
Myself and Senior Brother Kunyang will grant a reward to the winner."
With Master Tianxu's words, the faces of everyone present lit up with excitement.
They hadn't expected that originally only one Celestial Monarch would attend the sparring exchange.
But then again,
as the host, Master Tianxu was also present.
And according to his words, whoever won would receive two rewards.
These would be gifts from two Celestial Monarchs.
It was certainly irresistible to say that anyone present wasn't tempted.
Soon.
A True Inheritor named Venerable Beikong from Luochuan Cave Heaven stepped forward.
In an instant.
A ray of light descended from the heavens.
The ground, originally paved with various precious materials, suddenly shimmered with radiance.
All around, the void was filled with strange runes.
Master Tianxu's voice came again.
"This sparring exchange will take place here.
If anyone is injured, they can recover instantly."
"Thank you, Celestial Monarch!"
Everyone bowed once more.
Soon, a beautiful female cultivator named Su Yaqin from Jade Flower Cave Heaven stood across from Venerable Beikong.
After exchanging greetings, each exhibited the Daoist Skills they excelled in.
Ji Haoyuan was with Lu Yuanshan and the others.
Dai Yunfang suddenly smiled and asked Ji Haoyuan, "Junior Brother Ji, between these two in their sparring, who do you think will ultimately win?"
Ji Haoyuan glanced over and then, with a smile, said to Dai Yunfang,
"Senior Sister Dai, if I'm not mistaken, Su Junior Sister from Jade Flower Cave Heaven will emerge victorious in this sparring."
"Oh? So sure?"
Dai Yunfang and Lu Yuanshan were slightly surprised.
After all, the duel had just begun.
Had Ji Haoyuan really seen something, or was he just guessing?
But soon enough.
All of them, including Dai Yunfang, Lu Yuanshan, and Pei Guanghua, wore expressions of surprise.
Because, to their eyes, it was already clear that Su Yaqin would indeed win this bout.
And reality indeed did not betray their expectations.
When Venerable Beikong struggled to block one of Su Yaqin's attacks, his Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect could no longer hold.
With a loud bang,
the entire Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect shattered into countless light fragments and dissipated.
Whoosh!
At the same time,
a ray of Spirit Light fell from the sky, landing upon Venerable Beikong.
In an instant, the injuries from his shattered Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect were completely healed.
