No one present paid much attention to this opening remark. What everyone cared about was how this trial would be conducted.
There were several thousand cultivators gathered here. Naturally, not all of them could participate. Excluding the Ghost Lord cultivators and those who had accompanied them, there would still be two or three thousand late and peak Ghost Commander cultivators formally intending to participate in the trial.
The Yellow Dao Sect's territory spanned a radius of twenty to thirty million li. There were countless sects of all sizes, and the number of Rogue Cultivators at the Ghost Commander stage was even greater. These several thousand cultivators gathered here could only be considered a tiny fraction of them.
"Fellow Daoists, the method used for this selection of Banner Wielders is extremely ordinary. Any Ghost Commander cultivator who wishes to participate in this trial need only hold a specially made jade tablet and enter the Lan Yin Valley before you. Inside the valley, you may challenge one another. The victor will naturally obtain the jade tablet in the other party's possession, and the positions will be determined by the number of jade tablets each person holds at the end.
"I must remind you all that although the Yellow Dao Sect strictly forbids killing during combat trials, blades and swords have no eyes, and injuries are certain. Therefore, any Fellow Daoist afraid of falling may choose not to participate in this selection. After one month, when everyone exits Lan Yin Valley, the five Fellow Daoists who have obtained the most jade tablets will receive the five Banner Wielder positions.
"However, the tablets need not be taken only from the participating Fellow Daoists. We have already placed ten tokens within a region spanning several thousand li at the center of Lan Yin Valley. Each
