Li Yunjing's fingertips twitched slightly.
Taiyi Jade Marrow is indeed an extremely rare treasure, but it is not his target.
On the contrary, he valued the reward of being able to enter the core inheritance pavilion of the Taiyi Immortal Sect more.
It is likely that the complete "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture" is located in the core inheritance pavilion.
Zhao Fan, oblivious to Li Yunjing's change in expression, continued, "All those who came to participate this time are Golden Core cultivators under 100 years old, Nascent Soul Cultivator under 300 years old, and there are even a few Spirit Transformation cultivators under 500 years old."
Tsk, the competition is fierce!
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was secretly astonished.
According to Zhao Fan, all the cultivators who came to participate in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony were geniuses.
Those who reach the Golden Core Realm before the age of 100 possess exceptional talent.
The same applies to Nascent Soul Nascent Soul under three hundred years old and Spirit Transformation under five hundred years old.
Especially Spirit Transformation cultivators under five hundred years old.
Such Spirit Transformation cultivators enjoy a high reputation throughout the entire Tianyuan.
At this moment, Zhao Fan lowered his voice slightly. "I heard that Chu Lingxiao from the Spirit Immortal Pavilion will also be participating in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony. Tsk, the pressure of sharing the stage with him is immense!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.
Chu Lingxiao is only 105 years old this year, yet he has already reached the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage realm!
He was a genius that Spirit Immortal Pavilion saw only once in ten thousand years. He could draw in Qi into his body at the age of three, Foundation Establishment at the age of ten, Core Formation at the age of twenty, successfully condense his Nascent Soul Condensation at the age of fifty-five, and successfully Spirit Transformation at the age of ninety-five.
His mastery of Spirit Immortal Method is unparalleled; among those of the same level, he has virtually no rivals!
He is also hailed as one of the cultivators most likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm within the next century.
Li Yunjing never expected that such a prominent figure would participate in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony, which made Li Yunjing ponder deeply.
Could there be something special about this Taiyi Immortal Ceremony?
It should be noted that for a peerless genius like Chu Lingxiao, the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony was not very tempting.
After all, with Chu Lingxiao's status and potential, what couldn't he get?
Spirit Immortal Pavilion is also a top sect in Tianyuan, and it has immortals backing it up in the upper realm.
Chu Lingxiao should have focused more on his own cultivation; there was no reason for him to participate in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony, yet he did anyway.
Li Yunjing also remembered that the Immortal Alliance had specifically issued a task, requiring people to participate in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony.
Li Yunjing hadn't thought much of it at first, but after seeing Chu Lingxiao's situation, Li Yunjing realized something was wrong.
But with so little information, Li Yunjing really couldn't think of any special circumstances.
"Besides Chu Lingxiao, there are a few other ruthless characters."
At this moment, Zhao Fan counted on his fingers, "Luo Qingyan, the Holy Maiden of the Pill Cauldron Sect, is a Spirit Communication Dao of Alchemy, and her poison pills are impossible to defend against."
The young master of Beast King Valley, Man Hu, is a rare body cultivator in this world. He can withstand Law Treasure with his bare body and possesses immense strength.
There's also Li Changfeng, the young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, whose talent is only slightly inferior to Chu Lingxiao's...
These people are all formidable figures in the top tier of this grand event. Sect Leader Li, if you encounter them during the assessment, you must be extremely careful.
"Thank you for the reminder." Li Yunjing bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Zhao Fan's words gave him a clear understanding of the situation at this grand event.
This made Li Yunjing even more curious about what was so special about this Taiyi Immortal Ceremony that had attracted so many geniuses to come at the same time.
Just then, a chilling cold suddenly ran down Li Yunjing's back, and a subtle stinging pain came from the depths of his soul, as if a cold, venomous snake was hiding in the shadows, staring intently at him.
Li Yunjing's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly activated the "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture." The clear and cold Dao intent swept through his entire body, and the power of Shatter Illusions in his soul dispersed, probing in the direction from which the chill came.
But the chill came quickly and went even faster, as if it had never been there at all.
His Divine Sense swept over the bustling crowd around him. Everyone was laughing and talking, and no one seemed to be acting out of the ordinary. Only a very faint trace of demonic energy, carrying the smell of blood, remained in the air.
The demonic energy was so faint that it was almost imperceptible; if it were any other Spirit Transformation cultivator, they would definitely think it was their imagination.
But Li Yunjing believed in himself; he was absolutely certain he wouldn't make a mistake in judgment.
Moreover, that chill penetrated deep into his soul; if anything went wrong, then Li Yunjing would have wasted all his cultivation.
"Sect Leader Li, what's wrong?" Zhao Fan asked curiously when he saw Li Yunjing's expression suddenly turn cold and he looked around.
"It's nothing." Li Yunjing withdrew his Divine Sense, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The demonic path has actually infiltrated, and their cultivation level is definitely not low. They can even instantly conceal their presence without leaving a trace while he is activating the "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture".
It seems that this seemingly grand and prosperous Taiyi Immortal Ceremony was actually fraught with hidden murderous intent.
Li Yunjing couldn't help but become more vigilant; all sorts of things were bound to happen next.
"By the way, Sect Leader Li, have you registered yet?" Zhao Fan suddenly asked. "The Immortal Scripture officially opens tomorrow, and today is the last day to register. If you don't go now, you'll miss it."
"Not yet, I was just about to go to the registration desk," Li Yunjing said, snapping out of his reverie.
"What a coincidence! I was just about to complete some paperwork, shall we go together?" Zhao Fan's eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically put his arm around Li Yunjing's shoulder.
Li Yunjing did not refuse, but nodded slightly, and subtly distanced himself from Zhao Fan.
The three of them walked together along the main path towards the registration area for the grand ceremony, which was not far ahead.
The registration area for the grand ceremony was located in front of a white jade hall at the end of the main road. The plaza in front of the hall was divided into several distinct areas.
On the far left is the registration area exclusively for first- and Second-Rank Sect, where several long tables made of rosewood are set up. Sitting there are elders of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, but they all have wooden expressions; they are all illusions.
When faced with the monks who came to register, they acted like machines, repeating the same actions without any emotion.
On the far right of the square was the general registration area for sects below the third rank, with only two long tables set up, and four young people dressed in the outer disciple robes of the Taiyi Immortal Sect sitting at the back.
Like the elders, they all had blank expressions, like machines.
The strict hierarchy of the Immortal Realm was on full display at this moment.
Zhao Fan led Li Yunjing to the end of the line. Looking at the long line ahead, he curled his lip and whispered to Li Yunjing, "See? What did I tell you? We're all here to participate, but just because our sects are different, our treatment is worlds apart."
These kids are only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Outside, even Golden Core cultivators would have to kowtow and pay their respects. Here, they're just relying on the name of a major sect to participate in the Taiyi Immortal Ceremony!
Li Yunjing didn't speak, but simply stared calmly ahead.
The line moved very slowly. The cultivators at the front of the line finally reached the front and handed over their sect tokens, only to find that the tokens were incomplete, the sect's qualifications were insufficient, or the cultivators were over the age limit. After all that trouble, they were either directly rejected or had to slink away to the side to supplement their materials.
It took a full hour before it was finally Li Yunjing's turn.
The disciple on duty at the very front stared blankly at Li Yunjing: "Sect token, identity jade tablet, give them to me."
