Heaven's Mandate was ever-changing, and karmic ties could not be forced.
Though Yuanshi felt regret in his heart, he could only sigh softly and suppress the thought.
Bei Ming calmly asked, "Moyuan has already advanced. Will the Chan Sect and Jie Sect still send disciples to attack the arena?"
Tongtian laughed heartily. "Though the winning odds are slim, since this is a friendly martial exchange, we should still let the disciples show what they can do.
"Wudang, go attack the arena."
Saint Mother Wudang immediately accepted the order and headed for the Fifth Arena.
Yet inwardly, she could only complain bitterly.
Her teacher had sent her to face an opponent she had almost no chance of defeating.
Rather than fighting for victory, this battle was more like going through the motions.
Sure enough, Saint Mother Wudang, as well as the Chan Sect's subsequent challenger—Lingbao Grandmaster—were both no match for Moyuan.
Both were cultivators with solid foundations and orthodox methods, without any crafty tricks. Facing Moyuan at the height of his momentum, they were defeated one after another in only a few exchanges.
After defeating Xuandu, and with most of the Chan Sect's and Jie Sect's top experts having fought in the other arenas, Moyuan, who had endured hardship before sweetness, smoothly became the fifth victor.
With that, the Mystic Gate Competition officially came to an end.
Yuanshi raised a hand and gestured. Five streams of clear light crossed the void, transferring the five victors to the main hall of Jade Void Palace.
Ling Yan, Suyao, Guang Chengzi, Clouds, and Moyuan appeared within the hall.
Once the five regained their senses, they all cupped their hands toward the elders of their respective master's sects seated in the seat of honor, their etiquette impeccable.
All Saints exchanged glances, their tacit understanding clear.
