The disciple contest was closing in fast, with more and more cultivators coming as its imminent start approached.

At this point, Myriad Mountains was teeming with cultivators and packed with geniuses in all shapes, forms, and sizes.

The people were lively as they traveled to Soaring Immortal Mountain, all wishing to become Chen Changan’s disciple. But more than anything, the Nine Province Cauldron and the status of Heavenly Dao Protector.

In the remaining four days up to the contest, the infighting only escalated.

Despite that, most cultivators were cultivating for their deary lives, all so they could gain the status of their dreams on the day of the contest.

They all saw this event as a turning point in their lives, one they couldn’t miss. Yet it also left them powerless.

How were they supposed to join? All they knew about it was the when and the why, not the how.

In the dead of night, Chen Changan stood atop Soaring Immortal Mountain, gazing at the Trial Tower with hands behind his back.

Tomorrow was the start of the disciple contest.

[Everything’s set.]

Bai Yue came over, her aura reserved, despite the incredible power she released. With the help of the recultivating Immortal Mark’s energy and the Immortal Land, her cultivation speed was simply miraculous.

Oh, and not to forget the ample immortal herbs she got to enjoy on Soaring Immortal Mountain.

She rose all the way to the 9th layer of Spirit Severing Stage. A couple more days and she’d be an Empty Immortal for sure.

This was an Immortal Domain genius’ greatest advantage.

Alas, time waited for no one, and the disciple contest was about to start the next morning.

As for Fa Tian and Qin Xiuwen, they were even stronger than Bai Yue, 1st layer of Empty Immortal Stage.

“Bai Yue, the disciple contest begins tomorrow. Get ready to leave the mountain.”

“Understood, Master.”

Chen Changan chuckled. “The Trial Tower has eighteen floors, each testing a different aspect of cultivation. Bai Yue, how confident are you?”

Bai Yue spoke gravely. “I won’t fail you, Master.”

She saw herself as undeserving of the privilege of being his disciple, like she became Chen Changan’s disciple for another reason.

Her instinct told her that. Which was why Bai Yue hoped to showcase herself tomorrow. This was the only way she could truly call herself Chen Changan’s disciple.

“Go on ahead.” Chen Changan urged her.

From all the cultivators teeming Myriad Mountains, he knew the contest would be crowded, to say the least. No matter how many joined, however, only one would win the contest and become the Heavenly Dao Protector.

Thousands upon thousands fighting over one spot. The testing was sure to be brutal.

“Xiao Hei hasn’t returned yet from his trip with Ah’Miao.”

Chen Changan gathered from Xiao Hei and Bai Yue that the cat girl wanted to join as well. Yet after all this time, they had yet to come back.

[Are they in danger? Is there something delaying them?]

Chen Changan shook his head of unnecessary thoughts, knowing any worry was useless. He couldn’t help them even if he wanted to anyway.

Chen Changan gave a long yawn, tired from the work he put these days into setting up the Trial Tower.

Time for bed.

A glorious new dawn rose the next morning, the sun looking brighter than ever, especially with how excited everyone was.

The disciple contest was starting. Many, many cultivators finally left their caves, the geniuses were ready to take the world by storm.

Qin Xiuwen looked pasty-white yet smiling, coming out surrounded by his nineteen young Wives.

“Ladies, wait for the good news. I’ll win the contest and become the Heavenly Dao Protector. Then we’ll all ascend to the Immortal Domain together.”

“You’re the best, Darling.”

“Do your best, Darling! You can’t let us down.”

“Ganbatté~.”

In another cave, Fa Tian was ready to set out, imposing and confident, as well as unrestrained.

He was going to dominate the contest. And while he was at it, kill all the other Immortal Domain geniuses. [Qin Xiuwen is dead today!]

Mo Wentian slept soundly in a remote cave when the one-eyed Immortal Emperor woke him up. He yawned and rubbed his eyes as he walked out with a drowsy look.

“Geezer, are you going to help me in the contest or not?”

The Immortal Emperor mocked. “Absorbing the Immortal Energy these days helped recover my strength. With my help, no Immortal Domain genius is going to be your match.”

Mo Wentian smirked. “Did you forget the last time you used the secret soul art? That Fa Tian beat me silly. If not for Brother Jiang, I’d have ended up a corpse.”

“Humph, what do you know, boy? Even the shortest time can bring monumental change.”

Mo Wentian scratched his head. “Impressive, I guess. We’ll just have to see how well you fare at the contest.”

At this moment, Chen Changan’s voice echoed throughout his Domain, lofty and mighty. “To join the contest disciple, raise both hands.”

The people went wild. Chen Changan never showed himself until now.

Everyone grew excited about seeing Chen Changan.

Countless cultivators raised their hands then and there, in the tens of thousands.

Fa Tian huffed with disdain at the cultivators following his order.

[What’s with this childish request? It’s just a disciple contest.]

[What is that guy thinking?] The same disdain he had was present in many other geniuses.

They were here to join the disciple contest, not answer some teacher’s questions.

Chen Changan’s voice echoed once more. “By raising your hands you agree to join the disciple contest and shall teleport you to the designated testing area. Is there anyone else who wishes to join?”

Chen Changan scanned his Absolute Domain and noticed a few didn’t raise their hands.

Fa Tian was among them.

Chen Changan smiled. “By not raising your hands you refuse to join the disciple contest forever.”

Chen Changan’s words had the cocky geniuses, Fa Tian included, groan.

He huffed and strained to raise his hands, feeling humiliated.

The others did as well.

Chen Changan shrugged. “In my Domain, you better listen.”

He turned around and saw Foxy’s cute hands up high and giggled at him. “You tiny thing, are you that bored?”

“Ya, yi, ya, yi!” Foxy pouted.

“Fine, go ahead and play.”

Chen Changan didn’t care if Foxy joined or not, since he ruled supreme within the Absolute Domain.

Nothing would ever happen to her.

All who raised their hands within the Absolute Domain were ready to join the disciple contest. Chen Changan spoke up.

“Let the disciple contest begin!”
