Although they were all in the Ancient Wastelands, the Ancient Wastelands were divided into the trial grounds, treasure trove grounds, trial grounds, and forbidden grounds.

As for the top three of the competition, it was the location of the treasure trove.

In his previous life, Qin Rufeng had accidentally entered the treasury, and Xiao Jiu's metamorphosis had taken place in the treasury. Xiao Jiu had guided him to the Land of Nine Yin, and later on, Qin Rufeng's wonderful life in his previous life had begun.

The treasury was filled with heaven and earth treasures. It was simply a miniature of the Great Moon Forest, and the treasures in the treasury were several times, perhaps even several times more valuable than the treasures in the Great Moon Forest.

Even high level heavenly materials would have a beast or beast guarding them.

There were some heavenly materials that even the elders of the Xuanyuan Pavilion had no way of acquiring. In addition, those fierce beasts and monsters were merely guarding their treasures. As long as you didn't provoke it, it wouldn't attack you for no reason.

As long as you had the strength and ability, even if you kept the entire treasury in your pocket, the Xuanyuan Pavilion would not stop you.

… …

At this time, a melodious and loud bell sound came from the peak of the mountain that was stabbed into the clouds, resounding through the entire mountain. All the disciples that heard this voice knew that the bell sound at the peak of the mountain was the sign that a great meeting would be held.

Bi Chen, who had been working on the side with a sad face, immediately became energetic when he heard the bell chime. He ran towards Qin Rufeng with a big smile and his mouth agape in laughter.

"Stop, stop, don't do it anymore, it's about to start. It's finally time to rest, my old waist! " Bi Chen patted Qin Rufeng's shoulder, stretched his waist, and said with some pride.

When Bi Chen saw Qin Rufeng rooted to the ground like a block of wood, Bi Chen thought that Qin Rufeng had been stunned by the ringing of the bell.

He hurriedly returned his gaze back onto Qin Rufeng's shoulder and told him: "Stop doing this, did you hear that melodious ringing bell just now? That means that the competition for the new disciples has already begun.

Soon, there will be many disciples coming to this competition field. We two should hurry up and find a seat so that we won't lose our seats later.

In other words, Ling Ruokong has actually found us a beautiful maid, otherwise, how would so many people have the right to sit here with a disciple with such strength like us? "

After he finished speaking, he ignored Qin Rufeng and found a place to sit down.

Qin Rufeng did not know that such a thing would happen. Seeing Bi Chen already seated, he casually found a seat and sat down.

In his previous life, Qin Rufeng was just a servant of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion. Naturally, he would not have the opportunity to participate in such a grand meeting. He had even heard of the rules of the convention from some of the disciples in his previous life.

As expected, not long after the bell's chime rang out, the entire battling platform had become packed with people.

The huge battling platform was shaped like an oval, with a basin-shaped structure. All the seats were arranged from high to low, ensuring that everyone could see what was happening on the stage.

The last row of seats was sixty meters high. In the first row, there were seats made by the elders that were about ten meters higher than the ones used in the competition between the Earth disciples.

Along with the influx of disciples from the Yellow Pavilion, the previously relaxed martial stage became crowded, and the peaceful and harmonious scene gradually disappeared. From time to time, angry shouts could be heard, but everyone surprisingly didn't choose to fight because those who fought in Xuanyuan Pavilion would be forced into the pavilion.

Although the scene was chaotic, it was still within their control. Those that managed to grab seats were all filled with pride. Those disciples who didn't have the time to grab one could only bitterly end up standing obediently in the aisle.

The martial stage that was originally approaching quietness was once again in an uproar due to the arrival of a single person. The old disciple of the Yellow Pavilion, Yuan Yi, had also come to the martial stage.

When Ling Ruo Kong, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard this voice, he immediately stood up from his seat and pushed through the crowd in front of him. He walked to Yuan Yi's side and said gently, "Senior Brother Yuan, why are you here as well?"

Yuan Yi glanced at Ling Rankong, then turned his head as if he was looking for something. However, he still said indifferently, "Since you have nothing to do, then come over and take a look."

Ling Ruo Kong was inwardly overjoyed as he hastily said, "Senior Brother Yuan, look at the number of people in this match. Why don't you come and sit at my place?" He then pointed to the third row.

"Oh?" Yuan Yi first replied with an indifferent tone, before letting out a surprised and doubtful tone. He then nodded and said, "Then, Yuan Yi will do as you say. Thank you, Junior Ling, for your good intentions."

Joy appeared in Ling Ruo Kong's eyes. She quickly brought Yuan Yi to her seat while she stood to the side happily. She didn't notice that Yuan Yi's gaze was fixated on Xiao Ling, who was sitting in front of her.

… …

Another resounding and melodious bell sound rang out, resounding across the entire mountain peak. The originally noisy and chaotic battle arena instantly turned into a lake of ice, becoming unperturbed. Everyone's eyes were fixated on the only empty seat in the first row — — Pavilion Master Huang's seat.

The entire Xuanyuan Pavilion was divided into the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Pavilion, and they also had the Pavilion Masters of the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Pavilion. Above the four pavilion masters was the Xuanyuan Pavilion Master.

In the entire Huang Pavilion, there were no more than ten people who had seen the Pavilion Master. Even if they had received orders from the Pavilion Master at times, they would not be able to see the Pavilion Master at all.

After a full few moments, when the third bell sound rang out, the crowd hoped that the pavilion master from the Yellow Pavilion would not be able to appear in front of them, and the seat reserved for him was still empty.

"The Xuanyuan Bell begins with three chimes." Qin Rufeng quietly spat out these words.

The Xuanyuan Bell was a huge bell that stood at the very top of the Xuanyuan Pavilion. Every time it rang out three times, something big must have happened to the Xuanyuan Pavilion. However, this bell definitely wasn't placed to sound the bell artificially, as it could always ring three times before the gathering. Not one, not one.

At this moment, on an ancient tree not far away from the martial arena, an old beggar with tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and a terrible stench sat on top. He had an oily yet extremely fragrant roasted chicken in his right hand, and a gourd was in his left hand.

The elders sitting in the first row also looked at each other. Since the Pavilion Master isn't here, let's begin! He couldn't delay the time.

After an elder suggested this, the remaining elders all expressed their agreement.

There were a total of twenty-three elders. Among them, there were fifteen elders dressed in black and white, seven elders dressed in pure black, and only one elder dressed in pure white.
