Hearing this, a flash of disappointment crossed Tang Chuan's eyes, but he wasn't too surprised, shaking his head helplessly.
"It's fine, Sect Master Tang Xiao, no need to take it to heart."
"Spirit Beasts and Spirits with the destruction attribute are extremely rare, bordering on legendary."
"Not to mention special metals with the destruction attribute."
"It's normal that we can't find information on it for the time being. We can just look for it slowly."
Tang Xiao sighed, waving his hand, indicating that he would continue to do his best to help search and keep an eye out for it.
The group chatted a bit more about the upcoming Sect selection tournament.
Afterward, Tang Xiao took his two Elders and took his leave, as they also needed to make preparations for the tournament.
On the other side, deep within the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Hu Liena had tried several times to find an excuse to leave and go to the Angel Hotel to see Tang Chuan, even if it was just to catch a glimpse of him from afar.
But Bibi Dong seemed to have seen through her thoughts long ago, keeping her by her side at all times, whether dealing with church affairs or discussing details of the tournament, simply refusing to give her a chance to act alone.
Looking at her teacher's calm yet unquestionable profile, Hu Liena's heart was full of grievance and sadness, but she dared not disobey, and could only bury that longing deep in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, the day for the official start of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects selection tournament arrived.
This tournament gathered almost all the top Sect powers on the continent, and the participants were at least Spirit Douluo-level experts.
The intensity and destructive power of their battles could well be imagined.
Although Spirit City was large, it could not find an arena capable of withstanding battles of this level.
Therefore, the venue for the tournament was not inside Spirit City, but in a natural canyon about thirty miles northeast of Spirit City.
This canyon was named — Wind and Cloud Canyon!
At the break of dawn, Tang Chuan led the people of the Qingdi Sect and left the Angel Hotel.
Guided by a Cardinal sent by Spirit Hall.
The group left Spirit City and headed northeast toward Wind and Cloud Canyon.
Thirty miles was not a long distance, whether for the Cardinal leading the way or for Tang Chuan and the powerful experts of the Qingdi Sect.
Before long, a magnificent canyon that looked as if it had been split open by a giant axe came into view.
And what was even more eye-catching was outside the entrance of Wind and Cloud Canyon.
A sprawling, makeshift, yet large-scale bazaar had already taken shape.
The sound of hawking and the aroma of food mingled together, making for a very lively scene.
There were street vendors selling breakfast and snacks, shops renting tables, chairs, and telescopes, and even merchants selling simple spirit tools for recording images... everything one could expect!
As a relatively accessible Spirit Master force, Spirit Hall had not completely closed off the selection tournament this time.
Wind and Cloud Canyon was vast enough.
While building exclusive spectator stands for the major participating Sects, they had also constructed tiered public spectator areas on the higher ground on both sides of the canyon.
This allowed Spirit Masters and civilian spectators who had come from all over the continent to watch this event, which was rare to see in decades.
Facing such business opportunities, the keen merchants in the surrounding area naturally wouldn't miss out; they had come early to stake out land and set up stalls, preparing to make a fortune.
Along the way, Tang Chuan saw many familiar faces, as well as some he had only heard of by name.
Among them were the Unrivaled Dragon and Snake couple, who had transformed the Dragon God Family into the Dragon Snake Sect and brought their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
There was the burly Elephant Armored Academy Sect Master Hu Yan Zhen, with his voice like a booming bell, along with the Elders and other elite Disciples under his command.
There was the Sacred Dragon Sect Master Tuoba Xi, who had already been subdued and was currently planted as a mole in Spirit Hall, along with his Elders and Disciples.
Upon seeing Tang Chuan, Tuoba Xi immediately bowed slightly, a flash of respect crossing his eyes.
There were also representatives from prominent forces on the continent, such as the Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, Black Tiger Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, and Sparrow Bee Sect.
Guided by the Cardinal, Tang Chuan and the Qingdi Sect members passed through the somewhat noisy bazaar and crowd, arriving at the spectator seats specially designated for the Qingdi Sect inside the canyon.
The seating was in an excellent location with an open view, directly facing the huge area in the center of the canyon that had been specially leveled.
Once all the participating Sect forces had basically arrived and taken their seats.
A brilliant golden stream of light rose into the air from the high spectator platform reserved for Spirit Hall, hovering in mid-air. It was a figure clad in golden armor with a delicate and handsome face.
It was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, one of the two Protectors beside Bibi Dong.
Hovering in mid-air, Chrysanthemum Douluo channeled his spirit power, and his delicate yet incomparably resonant voice instantly swept across the entire Wind and Cloud Canyon, drowning out all the noise.
"Welcome, everyone, for traveling thousands of miles to participate in this Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects selection tournament!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan shouted in his delicate voice while his gaze swept across the sea of people and colorful flags below, and continued.
"As everyone knows, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, two of the original Upper Three Sects, were unfortunately met with disaster and wiped out by unknown evil forces. With the top Sects of the Spirit Master's world vacant, order is in urgent need of reorganization."
"Today, here, we, Spirit Hall, are holding the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects selection tournament with the aim of re-selecting the new Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects, establishing a new example for the Spirit Master's world, and leading to a better future!"
After the opening remarks, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice turned stern as he began to announce the tournament rules.
"This selection tournament, as in the past, will adopt a points system, similar to the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"Each major Sect needs to battle all other Sects except themselves."
"For every victory, one point is awarded."
"As for each match, the number of experts sent by both sides to participate shall be discussed by the two sides themselves; it only needs to be an equal number, there are no rigid regulations."
"In addition, this Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects selection tournament is divided into the Upper Three Sects selection and the Lower Four Sects selection."
"The above rules apply to the Lower Four Sects selection."
"If any Sect possesses Titled Douluo-level experts, they only need to go to the central arena to demonstrate this, and once confirmed, they can immediately be promoted to the Upper Three Sects selection qualification!"
"The remaining Sects will determine the top four in points through the points-based battles, earning the qualification of 'Lower Four Sects Candidate'."
"Subsequently, these four candidate Sects can choose to challenge Sects that have already obtained the Upper Three Sects selection qualification and possess a Titled Douluo."
"If the challenge is successful, they can enter the Upper Three Sects selection sequence."
"The Upper Three Sects selection is not decided by a single battle."
"The Sects that obtain the qualification will also engage in multiple battles, and the final Upper Three Sects will be determined based on the final points ranking."
"If there is a fourth place, they will fall into the final Lower Four Sects selection sequence."
"Finally, the Sects that obtain the 'Lower Four Sects Candidate' qualification will undergo the final ranking battle, and the top four will be the new generation of the Lower Four Sects!"
After the rules were announced, the canyon erupted in discussions.
Subsequently, guided by Spirit Hall staff, the representatives of each Sect left their spectator seats and gathered toward the huge circular platform in the center of the canyon.
