The Secret Order's inheritance was said to be able to quickly raise a cultivator's level of power.

Hence, organizations of all sizes in the First City have arrived to participate in this competition all for the sake of this inheritance. Celestial Mountain was now fully occupied by cultivators, causing the spiritual beasts to hide their presence, afraid that the humans would slaughter them.

"Master, there are too many people here. Leave the registration to me, you should go and get some rest." Zi Yun suggested with reverence as he looked at Gu Ruoyun.

"There's no need."

Gu Ruoyun shook her head, "It will be our turn soon, just wait for a little while more."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yun then turned towards the line in front of them and sighed exasperatedly as he said, "The Secret Order certainly has enough valiant charisma to have attracted so many people so quickly. I wonder how long we have to stand in line for."

Gu Ruoyun curled her lips calmly. Her face had remained absolutely serene the entire time and had never shown any signs of anxiety despite being made to queue up under the scorching hot weather.

Time passed by very quickly. It was still sunrise when they had joined the queue. In the blink of an eye, the sun was now setting. The afterglow from the setting sun illuminated the entire mountain.

After a day, the queue has finally been reduced greatly and it was soon Gu Ruoyun and her party members' turn...

"Organization?"

The white-robed man who was taking notes did not even look at Gu Ruoyun and asked in a routine manner.

"The Devil Sect."

"Number of people."

"Three."

Upon hearing Gu Ruoyun's reply, the white-robed man finally raised his head to look at her as a sense of astonishment flashed in his eye, "Are you not aware that you must have five people to register? That's the lowest amount too. Most organizations have over ten people."

After all, this was a team competition and not for individuals. The greater the number, the more dominance the group would have. Yet, this woman had registered with only two subordinates?

Gu Ruoyun pondered for a moment, "Make it five then."

"Alright."

The white-robed man said nothing more and with a wave of his pen, he wrote down the name of their organization and the number of participants before taking a token out and placing it in front of Gu Ruoyun.

"This is the token you'll need for participating in this competition. Those who have registered can leave now and get some rest! The Secret Order has specially built a simple guest house for the purpose of this competition. Someone will escort you to the guest house shortly."

Gu Ruoyun accepted the token, slowly turned around and said, "Chu Luo, Zi Yun, let's go."

"Yes, Master."

The two followed Gu Ruoyun silently and did not say a word.

However, they were very curious about how Gu Ruoyun planned to find two other people. After all, she had only brought the two of them out with her this time.

...

At the guest house.

Gu Ruoyun poured herself a cup of tea in a plain and simple room before summoning the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon from the Ancient Divine Pagoda before Chu Luo and Zi Yun's very eyes.

They were both stunned at the sight of their appearance.

They had met the Vermillion Bird a while back. Even though they did not know who this little girl was, they knew that her relationship with Gu Ruoyun was far above average. As for the man, they've never met him before...

"Only people below the age of thirty are permitted to join this competition. You have both passed that age. Take these pills, they will temporarily conceal your age." Gu Ruoyun said, producing two pills and placing them in front of the two.

Chu Luo was flabbergasted. "Master, are you joking? This little maiden is only five to six years old. Are you saying that she's over thirty? This... How can this be?" she asked, astonished.
