Young Talents Competition (1)

With over three hundred sects and more than ten thousand disciples participating in the Young Talents Competition, there was naturally no possibility of arranging one-on-one matches.

Thus, the format was simple: everyone would be placed in a single location for a grand battle lasting three days.

The competition grounds were on Purple Pole Mountain, the cultivation site of Purple Pole Palace disciples. When the competition began, Purple Pole Mountain would be moved onto the Treasure Belt River, creating a scene where mountain and river coexisted. At the same time, all the great powers would lay formations around the area, sealing off inside from outside.

After entering, the disciples could act freely and search for treasures in the mountain or river. Each treasure obtained would earn corresponding points, and final rankings would be determined by those points.

The treasures themselves were sealed and could not be used once acquired.

The Young Talents Competition imposed no restrictions on how treasures were obtained. Some might be guarded by demonic beasts, some protected by mechanisms, while others might simply lie quietly in the open, there for the taking with a mere bend of the hand—it all depended on luck. Still others might be watched over by great powers, obtainable only by passing their tests.

What was tested was combat strength, insight, miscellaneous knowledge, and ability in every other aspect.

Even using other sects as intermediaries was forbidden—for instance, even if Langya Pavilion and Sunshine Pavilion reached
