On one hand, the number of cultivators in the competition was dwindling. Secondly, as they drew ever closer to securing the final qualifications, how could everyone not fight desperately? A third reason was that after so many rounds of elimination, the remaining cultivators were all exceptionally strong. When experts clashed, victory and defeat were decided swiftly, unlike rookies pecking at each other!

Thus, after two more rounds of competition, over a thousand more cultivators were injured or killed!

The Lin Family Seven Tigers and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, facing increasingly formidable opponents, had no choice but to use their trump cards once again, each utilizing a second Initial Tier Immortal Artifact!

The few individuals accompanying 'Mu Shiba' astonishingly used Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts again. This scene naturally caused the over one hundred thousand cultivators present to reveal expressions of extreme surprise, one after another.

Meanwhile, after noticing the Lin Family Seven Tigers and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er using another Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, the Earth Immortals in the clouds high above, including Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, showed even greater respect towards Lin Xuankong.

The competition continued until the afternoon when the final round was completed!

What satisfied Lin Xuankong the most was that the Lin Family Seven Tigers and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er had swiftly defeated their opponents relying on just their two Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. They didn't even need to use a third Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, nor did they employ the Immortal Capturing Array Lin Xuankong had taught them!

Xiaoo Yan and Feng Lingling of the Five Elements Immortal Sect easily defeated their respective opponents using their Great Five Elements Technique, becoming the most noticed cultivators in the entire grand competition aside from the Lin Family Seven Tigers and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er!

Additionally, of the other ten victors, nine were talented disciples from various Immortal Sects. Only one, Luo Tian, was a cultivator from a dynasty called the Daluo Dynasty. He possessed a very formidable Celestial Demon Bone Demon Technique, capable of summoning a nearly endless number of Tier Eight Demon phantoms to besiege his opponents, using an attack method similar to the self-exploding giant sparrows of the Fire Spirit Sect.

In other words, aside from the Lin Family Seven Tigers and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, among the so-called peerless prodigies from the various dynasties, only one cultivator managed to surpass some of the talented disciples from the Immortal Sects to become a final victor!

This was actually quite normal. Those talented disciples from the Immortal Sects were originally peerless prodigies hailing from various dynasties. Having joined the Immortal Sects, they gained access to the sects' resources and powerful cultivation techniques, naturally making them stronger than cultivators who remained in the dynasties!

And so, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment grand competition finally concluded. The over one hundred thousand spectating cultivators departed the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Arena, still buzzing with excitement and wishing for more.

As they departed the Martial Arts Arena, Lin Xuankong was the main topic of conversation among nearly every cultivator.

A Tier Nine Cultivator from a remote dynasty, yet possessing a full seven Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts!

A Tier Nine Cultivator from a remote dynasty, yet daring to confront Flaming Blade Duan River and Chang Li of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect!

A Tier Nine Cultivator from a remote dynasty, yet respected by numerous Earth Immortals, even directly invited to the high heavens to enjoy the Spirit Fruits and Spirit Wine, the Immortal Music and Immortal Dance that only Immortals could enjoy!

This was a scene that the over one hundred thousand cultivators could never have imagined, not even in their wildest dreams!

It was foreseeable that once these over one hundred thousand cultivators returned to Spiritual Crane Immortal City, and then to their respective dynasties and sects, the name 'Mu Shiba' would instantly become renowned, familiar to everyone throughout the countless dynasties and sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region!

After the numerous cultivators had departed, the twenty victors, excluding Lin Xuankong, were brought into the Martial Arts Hall located on one side of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Arena.

Lin Xuankong naturally followed Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, and the others into the Martial Arts Hall. At this moment, Lin Xuankong's eyes held a hint of anticipation. He knew that the treasure he cared about most was about to appear—the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object!

This Martial Arts Hall, located on the east side of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Arena, was constructed to be extremely majestic and resplendent. The beams and pillars were cast from Profound Iron, and the ground was covered with Arrays engraved with countless wondrous Secret Patterns. These Arrays were even more powerful than those on the Martial Arts Arena, which could withstand attacks from Initial Tier Earth Immortals!

Inside the grand hall, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect stood on the innermost high platform. He was flanked by over a dozen Earth Immortals from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, including Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, Second-Grade Earth Immortal Huang Liutao, and others. Meanwhile, two hundred elite disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect stood solemnly on both sides of the great hall.

Earth Immortals from other Immortal Sects like the Beimang Immortal Sect, West Star Immortal Sect, Western Nether Immortal Sect, and Five Elements Immortal Sect were seated on either side of the great hall. Lin Xuankong, who had now become the primary Tributor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, was arranged in the first seat on the left!

His seat was, remarkably, placed at the very head of all the Earth Immortals. Such a position had never before been occupied by a Ninth-Layer Perfection cultivator, whether in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, the Beimang Immortal Sect, the West Star Immortal Sect, or the Western Nether Immortal Sect!

Yet, not a single one of the Earth Immortals present—including all the disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the twenty victorious cultivators—raised any objection, nor did anyone feel it was in the slightest bit inappropriate.
