Outside the Trial Tower, while many cultivators left the disciple contest screens, there were still some around, intrigued by its development.

They paid Bai Yue and Qinq Yunfei’s wild and casual fight a particular interest.

The people witnessed Qinq Yunfei turning himself into a weapon and using violent tactics, as well as attacks, against Bai Yue.

What they thought Qinq Yunfei’s robbing of Bai Yue’s iron sword to be the end, ended up with her turning the tables by showing her insights in a deep and mystical fist magical art.

The moves were as mighty as they were abstruse, leaving the audience gawking.

The advantage of Tai Chi overcame any relentless assault from Qinq Yunfei, turning the fight one-sided.

Her opponent was pushed back at every turn, violently as well, until she punched the array into nothing and left him wounded.

Qinq Yunfei only escaped by the grace of putting her under a spell with his eye skill.

The natives had to admit, these Immortal Domain recultivating geniuses sure had some nifty and fancy arts up their sleeves.

By contrast, Nine Province Continent’s geniuses, could only die if they ever met either Bai Yue or him.

Without making them break a sweat too.

After seeing Bai Yue’s might, more and more believed Bai Yue would be the final winner.

The fist art was enough to carry her through any and all Immortal Domain geniuses.

Who could beat that?

Fa Tian was still an unknown.

While the shambling weary and dispirited Qin Xiuwen, was dead for sure meeting any of them.

Cultivators felt a weight on their chests.

They felt the power gap between the Nine Province Continent and Immortal Domain geniuses was unbreachable.

If there was a classification in place, Nine Province Continent’s natives would be the bottom of the barrel.

What made it worse was how commonplace this situation was.

Ascension might be the only way for any of them to gain some recognition in the face of these monstrous Immortal Domain geniuses.

The intense fight lit a fire under their rear, now burning with the desire for power.

Cultivate!

Breakthrough!

Become stronger!

[Let senpai, Senior, notice me!]

[And enjoy the fortune of the Ascension Program.]

The chance was slim at best, but better than nothing.

It was still the opportunity of a lifetime, to do what countless others before couldn’t, ascend.

For Senior to say it, it had to be true.

Even if they weren’t among the hundred lucky bastards, they yearned for the day to come.

They could never forget Chen Changan’s words. Ascension Program was in its preliminary phase.

Chen Changan might enact it again and pick another round of winners.

…

Sumeru Immortal Domain was struck by disaster.

A dozen temples were pillaged and robbed of their wealth.

From worldly ingredients to Buddhist and immortal items, everything was picked clean.

No immortal stone was spared either, of course.

Every monk and nun were outraged.

[Who the hell did this?!]

They had no clue to work on.

What made it worse was that all these treasuries were put up by the Domain Lord tens of thousands of years ago, tough and secure.

It should’ve been impossible for even Domain Lords to pull this off, at least not so smoothly.

The abbot of every temple raged.

The treasury was the lifeblood of the temple. How were they supposed to feed the countless monks and nuns now?

They sent their disciples to scour the lands for any clues.

They had to find the bastard at any cost!

The Mastermind, Wu Ming, had switched looks for his next target.

A look of disgust was on his face. Those twenty-plus treasuries he raided were so poor he hardly found any good stuff and just a measly two Dao Rhythm items.

To say nothing of immortal stones. While low and mid were fairly common,

high and top ones were abysmally few.

“Bunch of dirt-poor baldies! Why the hell did I even keep you if you’re so broke?

“You got what you deserved.

“Guess I should pay Thunder Immortal Shrine a visit. As the strongest temple on Sumeru Immortal Domain, my ex-home for tens of thousands of years, it should have a few shiny baubles around, especially top immortal stones.”

His eyes glinted as he snickered. [Lord will be pleased after I rob them blind.]

[Pleased enough to reward me with plenty of top Dao Rhythm items.]

Wu Ming picked up speed in excitement.

He met plenty of monks looking for him, but Wu Ming looked casual, with an average gait and walk, as well as a faint smile.

No newbie monk approached him.

The thought of him being the devious thief never crossed their minds.

What really sold the lie was his weak aura.

Wu Ming had no issue reaching a mountain temple.

Sumeru Immortal Domain’s strongest temple lay before him, the Thunder Immortal Shrine.

The Buddhist aura reached high into the heavens, with many ancient Buddhist projections looming above.

Wu Ming snickered and muttered. “A Mi Tuo Fo, if I don’t rob you blind, I vow to never reach enlightenment. Sorry in advance.”

Wu Ming shifted as he turned into a hot little nun, giving an enchanting smile as he walked straight in.
