"A competition? For the entire Tianxuan Continent?"After hearing Lu Ze's description, the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao showed a rather interested expression."That's right... Currently, the Illusion Realm's popularity is on the rise, and holding a competition would further expand the player base."Lu Ze nodded and began to elaborate on his ideas for the competition.Ideally, the competition would be divided into regions based on area or Sects.Each region would select one or two teams to enter the final competition.Such a grand event would be held once every year.This way, the charm of esports would undoubtedly maintain the popularity of "Clash of Immortals and Demons" indefinitely, and fresh blood would continuously pour in.Lu Ze told Chao Wendao this idea and immediately received his support."Clash of Immortals and Demons" was widely known in the Celestial Cultivation World, and everyone was happy to host such a large-scale event.According to Chao Wendao, he planned to unite with other Sects to jointly host this competition."Hmph, what good could the rewards prepared by a bunch of ants be?"Hearing that the Five Great Sects were preparing prize rewards, the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao scoffed."Oh? Could it be... you're going to prepare a Heavenly Dao Opportunity again?"Lu Ze raised an eyebrow, sensing the hidden meaning in the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's words."Heh, how can I give an Opportunity to whomever I please? It also depends on whether they have the fortune for it."The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao snorted coldly, then extended a palm.Within his palm, a verdant light orb appeared."This is a trace of an incomplete spell left by a mortal who fell on the battlefield a long time ago... It's not a great treasure, but it's certainly better than that trash."Upon hearing this, Lu Ze was startled.A long time ago? Battlefield?That would be during the Righteous-Demonic War.Furthermore, since he wasn't called an "ant" by the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao, he must have been at least a Body Integration stage expert...A spell left by such a powerful being, even if incomplete, was a treasure worth a fortune!"Not enough?"The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao asked in confusion."Enough..."Lu Ze nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that since he wasn't participating, what did it matter to him how good the rewards were?Just then, the System's voice suddenly rang out.【Ancient Secret Treasure is about to reappear in the world, attracting countless Righteous and Demonic cultivators to contend for it!】【Quest: Enter the Secret Realm, seize the Ancient Secret Treasure, and become famous throughout the world!】【Quest Reward: Heavenly Evolution Jade (can complete incomplete spells)】"...It's enough, my foot!"Lu Ze's tone suddenly shifted, and he immediately changed his words."Ahem, how about... adding a little more?""...Scram."......With the gift from the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao, organizing the competition became much easier.Having an Ancient Secret Treasure from a powerful being as a prize was an excellent Opportunity to promote the Sects.The Five Great Sects vied to be the hosts.Not to mention the Prodigies of the younger generation, even the Elders and Sect Masters of various Sects wanted to contend for the championship.For the first competition, the format and scale had not yet reached their peak.The rules were not as strict either.The regional System had not yet appeared, and there were no offline finals.All activities were conducted online.First, there was a month-long online tryout to select the final 16 teams.Finally, there was the 【Heavenly Dao Cup Immortal Realm Series】.With the name of the Heavenly Dao, coupled with the Five Great Sects' tireless promotion and publicity, the popularity «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» of "Clash of Immortals and Demons" steadily rose.........Lingxiao Sect."Old Zhong, are you really not going to join me?"Zhou Yue's face fell as he looked at Zhong Yi in confusion."There are more suitable candidates, so why should I contend for such a title? The most important thing is for our Lingxiao Sect to obtain the legendary Ancient Secret Treasure!"Zhong Yi felt quite regretful in his heart, but he still smiled broadly.All the Elders had placed their bets on Zhong Yi and his team for the Ancient Secret Treasure.Mainly, Li Mozhan and Zhou Yue were both extremely skilled, making them absolute favorites to win the championship.Zhong Yi always valued the Sect's honor more.His main position was mid-lane.His Fa Xiu Sword Saint and his inting Sion were played with divine skill.But he knew very well that once these two heroes were banned, he would have to retire on the spot.When experts gathered, he didn't want to be a burden to everyone.Therefore, Zhong Yi found another expert from Lingxiao Sect to take his mid-lane position."It doesn't matter, even if you keep dying, we'll still..."Although Zhou Yue often made fun of Zhong Yi's plays, when it came to crucial moments, he still valued his friends more."What kind of talk is that!"Zhong Yi smiled and punched him, then pushed a seemingly honest young man in front of everyone."Even so, I still think we should give some opportunities to the Junior Brothers...""His name is Liu Mo, he's an Outer Sect Disciple... Didn't expect that, did you? Liu Buyu, ranked 32nd on the ladder, is him!""Junior Brother Liu, don't panic. In this era, Illusion Realm talent is also talent... If one day you receive a Heavenly Dao Legacy, you might not be inferior to us Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters!"Zhong Yi patted Liu Mo's shoulder, and the latter nodded somewhat stiffly.Seeing that Zhong Yi had said so much, everyone found it hard to refuse."Isn't there still a substitute spot on the team? How about Senior Brother Zhong being the substitute?"Zhou Qiaoling suggested.Mu Yawen quickly nodded: "I think that works!!"Just then, Zhou Yue's Illusion Tower flashed.After his Divine Sense sank in for a moment, Zhou Yue, as the team captain, frowned and looked at the others, saying with a wry smile:"Someone just applied to join our team...""Who is it?""Bai Mu."As soon as Zhou Yue's words fell, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief."Bai Mu?? Is that the Loose Cultivator expert who tormented Elder Li Jiujian so much in "Bed Wars" that he put a bounty on him??""You're behind on the news... This Fellow Daoist recently started playing ranked in "Clash of Immortals and Demons" and is already close to reaching number one...""No way? Why would such a master not form his own team and instead want to join ours??""If he joins, he joins, but why does he have to be a substitute?? If it really comes down to it, I'll give him my spot!""I'm afraid there's a trick..."...Everyone discussed animatedly for a while, and finally decided to politely decline this mysterious person.No matter how they thought about it, it was too strange for a master whose strength was not inferior to Li Mozhan's to actively ask to be a substitute....On the other side.Lu Ze was resting with his eyes closed in Lingyu Pavilion.Based on his observations in the game, the Lingxiao Sect team, which simultaneously had Li Mozhan and Zhou Yue, would most likely be the champion of this event.If Lu Ze were to form his own team to participate, his teammates could only be the cyber Souls from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.If anything unusual were detected then, it might cause some trouble.Besides that, the biggest problem was:He was really too lazy to participate in the various competitions that would last nearly two months, so he only wanted to get a champion's reward by being a substitute.Even if he encountered an opponent he couldn't deal with, Lu Ze could just log on temporarily and easily crush them.Therefore, he actively sent an application message to Zhou Yue."Oh? Thinking for so long?"Seeing that it took a long time for a message to come from within the Illusion Realm, Lu Ze opened it and found it was Zhou Yue's polite refusal.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he continued to send messages to Zhou Yue......"What!? If we don't take him as a substitute, he'll form his own team and destroy us!??"Zhou Yue looked at Lu Ze's reply and exploded with rage."Damn it! Let him destroy us! I don't care about this Secret Treasure anymore!!!""Senior Brother Zhou, did he say anything else?"Li Mozhan, who was usually quiet, suddenly spoke."Uh, let me see..."Zhou Yue looked at Lu Ze's message again."He said...""If we agree to let him be a substitute, he can play training matches with us?"
