「The next day, morning.」

At the entrance of the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Arena of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong, Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, and the others gazed around. Near the Martial Arts Arena's gate, Cultivators riding various Exotic Beasts and Spirit Birds were flooding towards the arena.

Today was the official disciple recruitment grand contest of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. The number of Cultivators gathered here was even greater than what Lin Xuankong had witnessed at the auction in Spiritual Crane Immortal City a few days prior! Not only had the Cultivators preparing to participate in the recruitment contest arrived, but many of their servants, friends, and family members had also come!

Any Cultivator who could pass the preliminary test of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was at least at the late stage of the Ninth Layer. Such Cultivators, whether in terms of strength or influence, were far from ordinary. Naturally, they had many friends gathered around them! Of course, anyone able to come here—even the servants of those Cultivators, those with low Cultivation Realms, or even those merely present to watch the excitement—was at least at the Sixth or Seventh Layer!

After all, entering the Martial Arts Arena of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to watch the competition was not free. Every Cultivator who wished to enter had to submit one Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade. A Cultivator of low strength and little influence wouldn't be willing to spend a Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade just for a glimpse. The value of one such Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade was enough to purchase several pieces of Exorcism Equipment!

At this moment, Li Xiaohu tilted his head back to look at the grand and magnificent gate of the Martial Arts Arena, towering over ten zhang high. He then glanced at the countless, densely packed Cultivators surrounding them and couldn't help but swallow hard.

He exclaimed in amazement, "The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is indeed worthy of being one of the strongest Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region! Just this Martial Arts Arena, occupying hundreds of thousands of acres, is utterly astonishing! Before coming to Spiritual Crane Immortal City, I never even dreamed of such immense and grand structures! The works of Immortals are truly beyond the imagination of ordinary Cultivators!"

Gazing at the scene before him, Lin Xuankong also felt a stir of emotion in his heart. He possessed the magical Eight Gates Celestial Eye, so looking inward from this point, he could naturally perceive the entirety of this colossal Martial Arts Arena with clarity. This huge Martial Arts Arena covered tens of thousands of acres. It was roughly circular, its general shape resembling the massive stadiums Lin Xuankong had seen on Earth in his previous life. On its sloped viewing stands, tens of thousands of extremely spacious jade seats were arranged at intervals. Of course, this Martial Arts Arena was many, many times larger than even the largest stadiums on Blue Star from his previous life! Moreover, the dozens of martial arts stages in the arena's central area were all inscribed with profound Runes, evidently forming Arrays designed to reinforce the grounds and prevent damage.

Actually, it was quite normal for an Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Arena to be this large. The stadiums from Lin Xuankong's previous life primarily hosted events like track and field, basketball, or soccer, with ordinary human participants. How could such competitions compare to the impending battles between Tier Nine Cultivators? A late-stage Ninth Layer Cultivator, even with only a piece of Exorcism Equipment in hand, could have an attack range of seven to eight hundred zhang. If they wielded a Magical Artifact, their attack range and devastating power could extend to thousands, or even tens of thousands, of zhang! An attack range measuring thousands or tens of thousands of zhang is equivalent to tens of miles. If the Martial Arts Arena were too small, Ninth Layer Cultivators simply wouldn't have enough space to unleash their full capabilities!

Furthermore, the Cultivators spectating in this Martial Arts Arena, even the weakest among them, were at the Sixth or Seventh Layer. Their Eye Power was far superior to that of ordinary people. Although they couldn't compare to Lin Xuankong with his Eight Gates Celestial Eye, seeing the martial arts stages clearly from a distance of over ten miles was no problem for them! This was why the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Arena was constructed on such a grand scale!

Li Er vigorously shook his bald head and laughed. "Little Hu, you're not the only one who hasn't seen such a scene. If we hadn't followed our adoptive father, none of us would have had the chance to reach our current level, let alone come to a place like this!"

Little Hu nodded repeatedly. He looked at the endless stream of people around and sighed, "For this disciple recruitment contest of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, I estimate there are hundreds of thousands of Cultivators here just to watch! Tsk tsk, with tickets at one Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade each, they'll probably earn hundreds of thousands of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades from this event alone... If they held a few events like this every year, I can't even imagine how much Profound Truth Jade the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect must earn! So many Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades... one Ghost Frog Pouch probably couldn't hold it all! Good heavens, if someone managed to rob the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's treasury, they'd likely need hundreds of Ghost Frog Pouches to carry away all their Treasures!"

Upon hearing Li Xiaohu say this, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, Yang Mountain, and Li Er were all rendered speechless. The passing Cultivators who overheard Li Xiaohu also stared at him in astonishment, looking at him as if he were a madman.

This was the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's territory, yet someone actually dared to speak of robbing the sect... He was either audaciously foolish or had gone mad thinking about Profound Truth Jade!

Lin Xuankong, seeing this fellow spouting nonsense again, couldn't help but chuckle and tap Little Hu on the head.

"You little tiger, have you gotten arrogant after obtaining a few Treasures? Do you think the dozens of Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect are people a little tiger like you can covet? You should first figure out how to join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"
