On this day, the Martial Arts Arena of the Yun State Daoist Academy was buzzing with people.
The entire area was enveloped in layers of Spirit Light, with Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Array Patterns etched on the ground, shimmering with a gentle treasure-like glow as the sunlight fell upon it.
On the viewing platform on the east side of the arena, the banners of the Thirteen Mansions fluttered in the wind, the various flags intertwining, casting a multicolored light on the Daoist Robes of the cultivators below the platform.
The disciples from each State Mansion were lined up in their respective areas, while the Void Refining leaders of each mansion gathered under the pavilion on the south side of the viewing platform, holding hot tea in their hands, their faces adorned with polite smiles, while secretly assessing the lineup of disciples behind each other.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, it's been a while, I must say, the lineup from your Jiuli Mansion is quite impressive this year!"
