On the seventh day of the Grand Competition: Outer Sect Disciple Ranking Matches (Top 25 Rankings).
The twenty-five qualifiers will draw lots randomly to compete in four matches. The final rankings will be determined based on the number of wins and losses, the strength of opponents, and the duration of battles.
Shi Poxiao demonstrated overwhelming dominance! Winning three out of four matches, he ultimately secured fourth place among the Outer Sect disciples!
Lin Yue's performance was also outstanding! She achieved two wins and two losses, ultimately ranking sixteenth!
Two other disciples, Li Tieniu and Zhou Zhiruo, also performed well, securing twelfth and twentieth places respectively!
After fierce competition, the Outer Sect disciple matches concluded. Yunqi Peak made history by ranking third, only behind the well-established Tianshu Peak and Youhuang Peak! This achievement set a new record for Yunqi Peak in nearly a century!
On the eighth day of the Grand Competition: Inner Sect Disciple Elimination Matches (Top 20 Advance, Bottom 5 Eliminated).
The twenty-five qualifiers randomly competed in three matches, with only the bottom five being eliminated and missing the final!
Among the four disciples from Yunqi Peak, Ye Lingxuan and Leng Yunjian stood out, sweeping their opponents with ease and advancing to the finals effortlessly, their prowess leaving everyone in awe.
Xiao Yunhe and Wei Zhangang each achieved two wins and one loss, also securing their spots in the finals!
Thus, the Inner Sect Disciple Ranking Matches concluded, with the top twenty advancing to the finals! Yunqi Peak claimed four spots, second only to the main peak, Tianshu Peak, continuing Yunqi Peak's legendary performance in this Grand Competition!
On the ninth day of the Grand Competition: Outer Sect Elder Ranking Matches (Top 25 Rankings).
Mu Xiaochuan, serving as the deputy chief judge, sat comfortably on the viewing platform. Su Yao and Ye Lingxuan accompanied him closely, attending to his every need, peeling spirit fruits, pouring fragrant tea, massaging his shoulders... their attentiveness was unparalleled.
Liu Ruyan, Ye Qingyu, and Yun Wange also took the time to join him, chatting and laughing, occasionally debating over the performance of certain elders, drawing envious and jealous glances from many elders around them.
Mu Xiaochuan relished the feeling of being surrounded by admiration and beauty, watching the Foundation Establishment elders battle fiercely in the arena, feeling utterly content.
"Tsk tsk tsk, being the chief judge is great! I don't even have to lift a finger!" Mu Xiaochuan thought lazily, sipping the fragrant tea handed over by Su Yao.
The Outer Sect Elder Ranking Matches were indeed more exciting than the elimination matches. The display of various spells, divine abilities, and spiritual artifacts was more powerful, and the scenes were grander.
However, Yunqi Peak's miracle seemed to end with the Outer Sect Elders. Sun Iron Arm ultimately secured seventh place, and Wang Xuance took sixteenth place. Overall, Yunqi Peak ranked seventh. Compared to past performances, this result was acceptable, but it paled in comparison to the disciples' glorious achievements.
Many disciples whispered among themselves, speculating that if Mu Xiaochuan hadn't been deprived of his spot, the outcome would have been different.

Hearing this, Mu Xiaochuan felt a bit restless, thinking about how he hadn't had the chance to showcase his new equipment outside the Listening Bamboo Pavilion.
Perhaps he should go out now and show them what he's made of.
Forget it, better to give Xuanyangzi some face. He could test his new staff's power with them back at the Listening Bamboo Pavilion tonight, Mu Xiaochuan thought to himself.
Under the cover of the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, no one knew what happened inside the Listening Bamboo Pavilion that night. Nevertheless, the next day, Mu Xiaochuan, Liu Ruyan, Ye Lingxuan, and Su Yao all arrived late. Liu Ruyan even attended the elimination matches with panda eyes.
On the tenth day of the Grand Competition: Inner Sect Elder Second Round Elimination Matches (Top 14 Advance, Bottom 11 Eliminated).
The focus returned to the Inner Sect Elders. The rules were modified, with Yun Wange and Chu Qianyue, both at Foundation Establishment Stage Nine, advancing directly due to their clear superiority. The remaining twenty-three paired off for duels, with the losers having the option to challenge a winner. A successful challenge secured a spot in the top twelve, while a second loss resulted in elimination.
Vice Peak Master Shen Jinglan showed impressive strength, winning his duel but losing when challenged by a defeated contestant. Exhausted, he was unable to continue challenging and was eliminated.
Liu Ruyan continued her dark horse legend. Despite being exhausted from the previous night's intense battle at the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, she lost her first match. However, after half a day's rest and with a Qi Restoration Pill from Mu Xiaochuan, she quickly regained her energy. In the afternoon, she challenged again, and after a thrilling contest, she advanced!
On the eleventh day of the Grand Competition: Inner Sect Disciple Finals (Top 10 Determined, "Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering" Spots).
This was the decisive battle for the glory of the younger generation! The ten spots for the "Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering" represented the future and supreme honor of the sect!
The battles were intense, each match as fierce as a storm, gripping the audience.
The final results were announced!
Yunqi Peak: Ye Lingxuan, with her impeccable skills, achieved an undefeated record, proudly claiming the crown of the Inner Sect Disciple Grand Competition!
Leng Yunjian ranked fourth!
Wei Zhangang ranked seventh!
The three successfully secured the precious spots for the "Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering"!
Unfortunately, Xiao Yunhe narrowly lost to a top disciple from Youhuang Peak in the fight for the last spot, ultimately ranking eleventh and missing out on the opportunity.
Despite this, Yunqi Peak claimed three of the ten Inner Sect disciple spots, surpassing the main peak Tianshu Peak, which secured two spots, and Youhuang Peak, which also secured two spots, emerging as the biggest winner!
Yunqi Peak made history!
On the twelfth day of the Grand Competition: Inner Sect Elder Finals (Top 7 Determined + 3 Direct Entries, "Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering" Spots).
The final showdown! The pinnacle duel of the Foundation Establishment Stage Elders!
Yun Wange easily defeated her opponent, securing a spot without suspense.
Liu Ruyan fought valiantly but ultimately lost to Jiang Zhuyue, the seasoned Foundation Establishment Stage Eight master and Frost Condensation Peak Master, due to the gap in cultivation and foundation, finishing ninth and missing the "Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering." Despite not achieving her goal, her accomplishment of reaching the top ten with a Foundation Establishment Stage Five cultivation was enough to make her stand tall and proud.
After fierce competition, the seven spots determined through the matches were finalized:
Tianshu Peak Master: Chu Qianyue (Foundation Establishment Stage Nine)
Yunqi Peak Master: Yun Wange (Foundation Establishment Stage Nine)
Youhuang Peak Master: Ye Mengze (Foundation Establishment Stage Eight)
Frost Condensation Peak Master: Jiang Zhuyue (Foundation Establishment Stage Eight)
Lingxiao Peak Master: Shen Xingyao (Foundation Establishment Stage Eight)
Qinglan Peak Master: Luo Qingxuan (Foundation Establishment Stage Eight)
Suying Peak Master: Murong Wangshu (Foundation Establishment Stage Eight)
The seven peak masters claimed seven spots! Two peak masters were left unmentioned.
Everyone assumed the remaining three spots would go to the three vice sect masters, making a perfect ten.
At this moment, Mu Xiaochuan grew anxious, thinking angrily, "Xuanyangzi, if you dare deceive me, don't blame me for reclaiming my Azure Dragon Soul-Suppressing Wood."
Just then, Sect Master Xuanyangzi stood up and announced loudly:
"By the decision of the sect's elder council, there are three additional direct entry spots for this 'Xiaoque Dynasty Dao Discourse Gathering.' They are: Vice Sect Master Yu Chenghui, Liang Yichen, and... Deputy Chief Judge, Yunqi Peak, Mu Xiaochuan!..."
Everyone nodded, acknowledging the vice sect masters' direct entry as expected.
What?
Again Yunqi Peak, and it's Mu Xiaochuan!
The announcement caused an uproar!
Mu Xiaochuan, directly entered?
Isn't he not even an Inner Sect Elder?
What about Vice Sect Master Ren Tianlong?
...
Countless gazes, filled with shock, confusion, disbelief, and envy, focused on Mu Xiaochuan!
Even peak masters like Chu Qianyue and Ye Mengze showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Mu Xiaochuan was momentarily stunned, then joy surged through his heart: "This old man knows what's good for him, not wasting my gift of the Azure Dragon Soul-Suppressing Wood."
Xuanyangzi's authoritative gaze swept across the crowd, silencing all discussions, as he continued: "Although Mu Xiaochuan is an Outer Sect Elder, his contributions to the sect are significant, and his strength is sufficient. As for Vice Sect Master Ren Tianlong, he has chosen to forgo the spot to remain in his position. Does anyone have any objections?"
Who would dare object?
"We have no objections!" the crowd responded in unison.
Thus, the ten Foundation Establishment Stage spots were all confirmed!
