Spring passed and autumn came, and a hundred years quickly slipped away.
The morning sun rose, its golden light spilling across Azure Lotus Island.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A series of loud bell chimes rang out, spreading across the whole of Azure Lotus Island. A new day had begun.
Streams of escaping light rose from all over Azure Lotus Peak and flew toward a certain direction. Some people flew through the air, some rode flying Spirit Treasures, and some controlled Spirit Birds. A dozen or so Flood Dragons could even be seen among them.
After a while, a large number of cultivators gathered in a vast Bluestone Plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a treasured pagoda flickering with red light, five large characters engraved on its body: "Blazing Demon Refining Pagoda."
Today was the day of the Minor Tournament. The news had spread long ago: clan members who performed exceptionally well could follow Wang Changsheng to the Song Family to attend Song Yunlong's birthday celebration. Many clan members rubbed their hands eagerly, all hoping to obtain a good ranking.
Wang Dianlong and Feng Yueqin stood to one side, chatting with acquaintances.
Clan members arrived one after another, ranging from Qi Refining Cultivators to Nascent Soul Cultivators.
The Lineage held a Minor Tournament once every hundred years. The top fifty Nascent Soul Cultivators would receive rewards, as would the top one hundred Core Formation Cultivators, the top three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the top one thousand Qi Refining Cultivators.
In this way, clan members at different realms all had a chance to receive rewards, so they participated enthusiastically.
After more than half an hour, over five thousand cultivators had gathered in the plaza.
Nearly half of the Wang Family's manpower had gone to the new territory to develop it.
