With the simple words spoken by the Master at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, the noise that had arisen due to their arrival quickly subsided, and the venue once again became silent.

The young talents held their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked towards the Master at the Peak of Nascent Soul Stage, hoping he would reveal some insider information and tell them what to do after they entered the Holy Land.

Unfortunately, they were expecting too much. After stating his purpose, that Master at the Peak of Nascent Soul Stage closed his mouth and said no more. Not just him, but also the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators who had come with him, maintained their silence.

These Nascent Soul cultivators had all participated in the Great Competition of the Holy Land in their day. They truly knew a lot about the internal workings of the Great Competition and were privy to some information that was hard for outsiders to obtain. But knowing it didn’t mean they were obliged to tell anyone. Whether or not they wanted to share was their own affair, and it had nothing to do with outsiders.

Of course, the main reason they kept silent was that they simply didn’t have high expectations for the young talents at this sub-venue. Even though there were as many as fifteen or sixteen thousand people here, the number of those who would truly succeed in the future was minuscule. Not to mention, among them, those who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage might be numerically larger, but for those wishing to go even further, the number who could reach the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage would drastically decrease. If even one in ten thousand could make it, it would be considered good. Only those who achieved this level of success would qualify to be discussed on equal terms with them and merit their equal consideration. It was utterly impossible to gain their attention at this stage.

Time passed slowly, and before long, the sun tilted westward. A slight change appeared on the originally empty Deer Platform as a bright light flickered in the sky.

The bright light gradually converged in space, forming a shimmering beam nearly two meters tall.

The young talents surrounding Deer Platform watched the beam with excitement, having experienced similar scenes before. They knew it was the prelude to the opening of the space gate. In other words, the long-anticipated Great Competition of the Holy Land was about to begin.

After a while, the flickering beam began to expand sideways, eventually forming a portal more than a meter wide. Numerous dazzling beams flickered around the space gate, both splendid and perilous.

The Master at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage cast an indifferent glance at the young talents on the Deer Platform. Although he didn’t speak, the young talents understood his meaning. They bowed respectfully to the Nascent Soul cultivators and then rushed towards the space gate. In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared from sight.

The Great Competition of the Holy Land had just begun, and at that moment, the opportunities were most abundant while the competition was least fierce. Being the first ones to enter now, these young talents would undoubtedly gain advantages that others could not.

Underneath the Deer Platform, the young talents from outside had red eyes; although they felt indignant, they clenched their teeth and did not dare to voice a single word of objection.

After all the young talents from the Holy Land had entered the space gate, about a quarter of an hour passed before the Master at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage finally said indifferently, “Alright, let them in. Have them enter according to the sequence of their drawn tokens. Law Enforcement Team, maintain order. If anyone dares to disrupt the order, show no leniency.”

The Law Enforcement Team rigorously complied with the order. The young talents below Deer Platform became even more cautious; now was not the time to jeopardize their future over trivial matters, as they were only one step away from entering the space gate.

The young talents began entering the space gate in an orderly fashion, forming a long line according to their tokens. After being verified by the Law Enforcement Team, they entered the gate one by one.

Qi Tian’s group was neither one of the first nor the last to enter. In terms of order, they were relatively at the forefront.

He Hongxia’s group was ahead of them. Before entering the space gate, He Hongxia gave Gao Yuqiu a meaningful glance. Only the sisters themselves knew what that glance meant.

After He Hongxia’s group entered the space gate, Gao Yuqiu hurriedly said, “Remember to hold on to your tokens when we enter the space gate. That’s the only way we won’t be separated once we’re inside. Everyone remember, the first thing we do after entering is to gather together. We absolutely must not split up.”

Qi Tian, Xiu Zhengyu, and the others nodded in agreement.

A cultivator from the Holy Land beckoned to Qi Tian and his group, indicating that they could enter the venue for the Great Competition of the Holy Land.

Standing at the front of the group, Gao Yuqiu took a deep breath and plunged into the space gate, followed closely by Xiu Zhengyu, then the other members of the team, with Qi Tian leisurely following at the rear.

It wasn’t Qi Tian’s first time traveling through a space gate, but this time, he subconsciously activated the Heavenly Dao Engine’s detection capabilities, hoping to see what lay on the other side of the gate. Unfortunately, he gained nothing.

Upon touching the space gate, the Heavenly Dao Engine’s probing was devoured completely, unable to relay any information to Qi Tian. This was somewhat different from when Qi Tian used the Heavenly Dao Engine to explore smaller worlds. Evidently, the world on the other side of the space gate was more complex and operated on higher-order laws than any small world Qi Tian had encountered before.

No one noticed Qi Tian’s probing of the space gate. In fact, such exploration was not uncommon in every Great Competition of the Holy Land; most of those who tried it, however, used their Divine Sense. Generally, this was a foolish move, as the space gate would obliterate the Divine Sense of the probing cultivator, causing varying degrees of injury. With the Great Competition in progress, the potential consequences of such injuries were clear.

Generally, the young talents participating in the Great Competition of the Holy Land would be warned in advance. The Holy Land would provide no special reminders in this matter, and if anyone was injured because of such behavior, they would take no responsibility and offer no compensation.

Qi Tian was aware of these facts, but he wanted to test the capabilities of the Heavenly Dao Engine. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Engine did not possess such abilities yet. It would have to be upgraded further in the future.
