Wang Ye stood up at this moment, speaking to everyone with a solemn expression.

"True knowledge comes from practice. Through this competition, we can gain such experience."

"To become strong, the most important thing is diligence, then to place oneself in a desperate situation for training, and finally, to force oneself to work hard and be ruthless to oneself."

"Tomorrow, I will announce a new training plan, which the disciples of the seven peaks of Tianyong Mountain must strictly implement."

"In half a year, we will hold another competition. Those who fail need not be discouraged. I hope to see you all on the podium next time."

Wang Ye spread his hands and pointed towards everyone.

Everyone listened attentively to Wang Ye’s speech.

At this moment, Wang Ye’s status in their hearts had already reached a very high level.

The reason why such a tremendous change occurred in Tianyong Mountain today is all because of the new Sect Master.

This Sect Master truly has great strength.

In the past, a desert overlord like Meisha didn’t even look down on Tianyong Mountain, let alone appear at Tianyong Mountain to present awards to everyone.

Previously, Tianyong Mountain was at the bottom among many cultivation sects, a poor existence. But now, if other sects knew about the strength of our numerous disciples at Tianyong Mountain,

who would dare to look down upon us?

A strong sense of pride welled up in the hearts of everyone, feeling truly honored to be at Tianyong Mountain.

"I wonder what training plan the Sect Master will announce tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it."

Xia Yurou’s eyes gleamed with light.

The plan Wang Ye would announce next would certainly greatly enhance Tianyong Mountain’s strength. Soon, our Tianyong Mountain will become the strongest existence in the entire Blackwater Secret Realm.

And my status and identity will naturally rise as well.

Upon hearing this, Carefree Master furrowed his brow. This competition did not show anything special from Carefree Peak, and the Sect Master would certainly not agree with the approach of Carefree Peak, possibly even sending those female cultivators back. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

What a pity!

Many disciples of Carefree Peak also felt it was a pity. In the future, there will be no female cultivators to wake them up for training, no female cultivators to serve tea and pour water. In the future, everything will have to rely on themselves.

Really hope the Peak Master can keep those female cultivators here.

Yin Yang Yan was very calm. No matter what plan Wang Ye would announce, his heart would not have the slightest ripple. After all, in his view, a good plan might also breed bad plans.

Everything is just within the Dao.

Even if one day Tianyong Mountain dominates the Blackwater Secret Realm, so what?

When the Sect Master achieves his ambition and loses his goal, he will become muddle-headed again by then.

At that time, Tianyong Mountain will begin to decline again.

This was his thought, and thus he did not show much joy regarding the flourishing state of Tianyong Mountain.

Wang Ye glanced at everyone, then waved his hand. The spiritual energy curtain in the sky was pulled apart, and the bright sunlight was somewhat glaring.

"This competition has ended perfectly. Everyone, go and train on your own."

After saying this, Wang Ye walked towards Meisha.

Meisha looked at Wang Ye with a smile.

"Sect Master, are you trying to chase me away?"

"Hmph, you ungrateful one, I just helped you host the awards ceremony, and you burn bridges after crossing the river..."

Meisha also had a playful look on her face.

Wang Ye, seeing this, smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Queen Meisha, for coming to host the awards ceremony for our Tianyong Mountain. If your Holy Light Python clan encounters any difficulties in the future, Tianyong Mountain will surely help."

Wang Ye gave his word with a sincere expression.

Upon hearing this, a crafty look flashed in Meisha’s eyes, and she clasped her fists towards Wang Ye.

"Don’t forget what you said. In a month, I will have something to ask you to help with. You mustn’t refuse."

Meisha said seriously.

In a month’s time, the Gates of Hell would open, and the Heavenly Spirit Holy Spring would appear inside it by then.

It is rumored that the Heavenly Spirit Holy Spring is a rare treasure on earth. It can be used as a weapon or to change the climate of the desert.

Originally, she was of the Holy Light Python clan, suitable for living in relatively humid environments, and the desert wasn’t suitable for her.

That’s why she was eager to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Holy Spring, hoping to use it to create a desert oasis.

Wang Ye, seeing her seriousness, nodded and replied.

"Okay, look for me in a month. I have something else to do today, so I won’t accompany you. If you like this Tianyong Mountain, feel free to stroll around."

After saying this, Wang Ye transformed into a black light and flew towards the Heaven God Temple.

As Meisha watched Wang Ye leave, she suddenly felt emptiness around. Without Wang Ye, it seemed as if the world had lost its pillar. She didn’t have the mood to stay here either, as she wasn’t idle by nature.

Then, she took out a black hat, put it on, and flew towards the foot of Tianyong Mountain.

The crowd dispersed from the Heavenly God Plaza, each busy with their own affairs. Feather-like snowflakes fluttered down, covering everyone’s footprints, as if nothing had happened here.

Meanwhile, Yan Yan Guo arrived in a valley.

He leaned against a large tree, slowly sitting down, unable to suppress a sigh.

"I lost."

He had a pained expression and ran his hands through his hair.

This time, he was representing the entire Saintess Peak in battle, and even carrying the spirits of the countless souls who died in the forbidden area.

Yet he lost.

Why is it so difficult to achieve first place?

He withdrew his hands from his hair and pounded them against the tree.

Of course, he didn’t use spiritual energy when he pounded the tree, or the tree would have long been shattered by his blows.

Blood drops dripped from his fists.

At this time, he didn’t notice that there was a blond woman standing on the hillside not far from him, with a blade of grass in her mouth.

The woman had her hands crossed in front of her chest, wearing a sky-blue long dress and a blue cape, smiling as she looked at Yan Yan Guo.

Her face was beautiful, like that of a millennium Fox Immortal, with particularly charming dimples at her mouth’s corners.

"Friends can be made again, and failures can be revisited. You were born with nothing, so why fear a single failure?"

Lan Tianyi spoke to the distant branches.

Upon hearing her, some of the pain brought by failure dissipated from Yan Yan Guo’s heart, providing him with some comfort.

His gaze fell on Lan Tianyi.

"Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before? Thank you."

Yan Yan Guo stammered.

Faced with such a beautiful woman, Yan Yan Guo couldn’t help but feel somewhat inferior.

Lan Tianyi chuckled and said.

"I’m from Tianlong Peak. Lan Tianyi, see you at the next competition."

With that, she stepped on the white snow and flew away.

Watching Lan Tianyi fly into the distance, Yan Yan Guo furrowed his brow. This Lan Tianyi’s cultivation was very high; why didn’t the disciples of Tianlong Peak participate in this competition?

Could it be that this first place was indeed predetermined?

If this Lan Tianyi joined the competition, maybe even Li Mo wouldn’t be her match.
