Peerless Divine Emperor

One day later, the sacrificial ceremony finally arrived.    

Jing Yunxiao followed the rest of the disciples and arrived at the sacrificial ceremony place.    

It was a huge plaza and upon it, almost everyone from the Ghastly Puppet Sect were gathered, it was very lively.    

Jing Yunxiao arrived at the plaza, and his gaze quickly locked onto the seven figures on the stage in front of him.    

According to what Jin Zong said before, in the entire Ghastly Puppet Sect, there were a total of seven people who were the most powerful, these seven were respectively the Ghastly Puppet Sect's Sect Leader Ye Wentian and the Ghastly Puppet Sect's Inner Elder.    

Jing Yunxiao swept his eyes over them and instantly recognized the person. The oldest of the seven people on stage, with a head of white hair, was most likely Ghastly Puppet Sect's Sect Leader, Ye Wentian. This Ye Wentian's cultivation was at the first level of Earth Martial Stage, and was indeed not to be underestimated.    

As for the six Great Elders, two of them were Earth realm martial artists, and the other four were warriors at the peak of the ninth stage of the Xuanwu Stage, their strengths were all strong, and what was even worse, these people all had their own Ghastly Puppets, and those Ghastly Puppets were either stronger than them or their own fighting strength was the same. It could be said that one person had the fighting strength of two people, so the fact that this Ghastly Puppet Sect was previously called one of the Five Great Forces was not unreasonable.    

However, since the Ghastly Puppet Sect was being pushed down by the five great forces, then the five great forces must be even more terrifying than the Ghastly Puppet Sect.    

Jing Yunxiao did not care about all this anymore, as he had a rough idea.    

If he could avoid conflict with these people, he naturally wouldn't want to get into conflict with them.    

The sacrificial ceremony began very quickly.    

First, Ye Wentian made a declaration on the stage. All sorts of things like how the Ghastly Puppet Sect would become stronger in the future and take back the five forces' status, made the disciples incomparably excited.    

After a series of declarations, it was finally the Ghastly Puppet Cult that Jing Yunxiao was looking forward to the most.    

Other than the Ghastly Puppet Sect's Clan Master and the six great elders, everyone else could participate in this Large Competition.    

And the prizes for outstanding people were incomparably rich.    

All the disciples had fiery faces and were eager to give it a try.    

Just then, an elder stood out and announced the Ghastly Puppet Cult's rules. That person spoke with his throat agape: "This time, the Ghastly Puppet Cult is not only to celebrate our Ghastly Puppet Sect, but also to encourage the disciples to work hard. Therefore, you must properly cherish this opportunity. "    

"The Ghastly Puppet Competition is divided into three stages. The first stage should be very simple for you guys, that is, to control your Ghastly Puppet Clock and ring three times. This stage will test your strength as well as your control over the Ghastly Puppet. "    

"As for the second test, it's Dark Forest. In this trial, there is a formation. This formation can fill this area with all sorts of traps, and these traps will cause you to be injured. Once you get injured to a certain degree, you will be thrown out of the formation, which will count as being eliminated. Passing the forest will count as successfully passing the second trial. This trial is a test of your comprehensive abilities. Once you pass the second trial, the sect will reward you with a Blood of the Refined Puppet. "    

Hearing up to here, all the disciples had faces full of excitement.    

"Oh my god, you're actually rewarded with a Blood of the Refined Puppet. This time, I have to pass the second round no matter what."    

"It is said that as long as Blood of the Refined Puppet blossoms and bears fruit, it will greatly increase one's Ghastly Puppet's fighting strength. Furthermore, the increase in Ghastly Puppet's strength can also help increase one's strength accordingly."    

"The sect is too generous this time."    

Everyone was beaming with excitement.    

At this time, the elder on the stage continued.    

"I believe everyone knows that if the Blood of the Refined Puppet is only in its seed form, it would not be of much use to the Ghastly Puppet. Therefore, the sect has specially set up the third stage to help everyone catalyze the blossoming and fruition of Blood of the Refined Puppet. "    

"The third stage is the land of extreme yin. Everyone knows that the Yin Field is a forbidden land of my Ghastly Puppet Sect, and it is also the sacred land of my Ghastly Puppet Sect. In the past, to be able to step foot in there, he had to be chosen by the Sect Leader. But this time, in order to celebrate the ceremony, the Sect Leader had specially granted permission that any disciple who passed the second trial would be allowed to enter. In the Yin Field, there are a total of five floors, from the outside to the inside. "    

"The Land of Ultimate Yin is full of Ultimate Yin Qi, which can help Blood of the Refined Puppet grow faster. As long as you are strong, normally when you reach the first level of space, you will be able to cause Blood of the Refined Puppet to sprout, while the second level will cause their leaves to grow, and the third level will cause them to form flower buds. The fourth level will blossom, and the fifth level will bear fruit. "    

"However, it's not so easy to enter these five levels of space, even though the Absolute Yin energy is extremely nourishing for the Blood of the Refined Puppet, it will cause great harm to the human body. The spiritual force requirement was especially high. Moreover, besides spiritual force, you also place great importance on your own willpower. Hence, to be able to enter into the next space is up to you. "    

After this explanation, the fire of excitement did not extinguish in the hearts of the disciples in the slightest. Instead, everyone was full of fighting spirit.    

One of them even asked: "Elder, since it is the Ghastly Puppet Cult, and since there is also a competition between disciples, can disciple boldly ask, can we snatch the Blood of the Refined Puppet in the other people's hands?"    

The moment this question was asked, the faces of everyone present darkened. They then looked towards the elders on the stage, waiting for their answers.    

The Clan Master asked Clan Master Ye Wentian, and Ye Wentian did not know what he had said, but after a while, the elder cleared his throat and continued: "In the Ghastly Puppet Cult, there are no rules, as long as you do not go overboard and do not cause any deaths, we will not interfere. It's all up to you. "    

With this answer, some people were happy while others were sad.    

If they were to compete separately, the pressure would only be on their own body. However, if there was still a way to fight for it, then it would bring a layer of pressure to those who weren't particularly strong in the Martial Dao.    

Under this pressure, if they wanted to stand out, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.    

With regards to the rules, Jing Yunxiao did not mind, but with the so-called Blood of the Refined Puppet, Jing Yunxiao started to covet it, and now that he had a puppet, the puppet was too weak. If he could obtain the Blood of the Refined Puppet, not only would he be able to increase the fighting strength of the puppet, but he could also increase his own cultivation, how could he let such a good thing go?    

"What are you all still standing there for? "Let the Ghastly Puppet Cult begin."    

That elder shouted loudly, announcing the start of the Ghastly Puppet Competition.
