The grand event attracted a large number of True Martial Realm disciples who were showcasing their strength and martial prowess, inspiring admiration from many Martial Profound Realm disciples. This was also motivation for them, while some roaming disciples displayed peculiar items to open the eyes of fellow disciples. Some even stood on a table, boasting about their past glorious experiences.

There were also small activities where many disciples could win medicinal pills and crystals through their wisdom or strength. For example, answering questions or guessing riddles.

Shen Xiang stayed in the Daodian King's Yard, using dragon incense to accelerate the growth of the Azure Profound Fruit Tree. This sped up fruiting, and even Daodian Elder found it suspicious but couldn't explain why so quickly. She had seen such things before and was unable to understand.

Five days passed, the flowers of the Azure Profound Fruit Tree were wrapped and fruits were forming. Shen Xiang silently sighed, it seemed the tree didn't need dragon incense to grow quickly.

"The Azure Profound Fruit Tree gathers wood essence to produce fruits. Absorbing the abundant qi in this Spatial Realm, it grows very quickly, transforming the qi into fruits," said Su Meiyao. This was just her guess.

The preliminary rounds had started, determining the final eight people who would compete. Many disciples were participating from Inner Academy and Outer Academy, each sent to different martial divisions for the preliminaries. Many people were being eliminated daily.

Everyone feared encountering Shen Xiang since he was the first person in Inner Academy, unbeatable under True Martial Realm. However, many young powerhouses were eager to challenge him.

During the preliminaries, Shen Xiang was relatively gentle and won with very溫和 methods. If he found weaknesses in others, he would also give pointers because the grand event aimed for disciples to exchange ideas. This gained him much respect.

After watering the Azure Profound Fruit Tree, Shen Xiang returned to his secret room and ingested five True Essence Pills. A large surge of qi instantly surged through his body, and he circulated the Taiji Draconic Skill to refine the qi into his own. Finally, he transformed this qi into spirit awareness and fed it into his consciousness realm to nourish the Spirit Path Soul Embryo inside.

Only by making the Spirit Path Soul Embryo grow larger could he begin cultivating Spirit Path. This was what Long Xueyi said.

Unconsciously, Shen Xiang immersed himself in nurturing the Spirit Path Soul Embryo, focusing on cultivating spirit awareness. By then, he didn't eat True Essence Pills but could still absorb a large amount of qi through Yin Yang Spirit Vessels for cultivation.

Daodian Elder stood on a roof nearby, observing the secret room's sky. She muttered, "Surely Yin Yang Vessels, only they can absorb qi at such a pace. It looks like he is indeed similar to his master and ancestor."

Shen Xiang was secretly monitored by Daodian Elder in the Daodian King's Yard. Although Shen Xiang was cautious, he didn't notice the observation as she couldn't be seen.

Three days passed, Shen Xiang continued his cultivation without reducing the absorption of qi. This caused much shock among elders, but due to the occurrence happening in Daodian King's Yard, no one dared to investigate freely. They could only observe from afar.

Daodian Elder coldly harrumphed, "Does this kid want to enter True Martial Realm He didn't participate in the preliminaries for three days, losing his qualification. But it's not like him to do this, he must win first place before breaking through!"

Shen Xiang was in a state of losing oneself, just like an infant sleeping and taking in nutrients without knowing anything.

Shen Xiang's consciousness was within the Spirit Path Soul Embryo, wanting to quickly absorb spirit awareness for growth. He didn't know anything about outside matters or distractions.

"Sister Meiyao, I tried my best but couldn't wake him. It's better to let him rest naturally," Long Xueyi said with helpless farewell, knowing that Shen Xiang couldn't win the hundred True Essence Pills. This made her secretly hurt.

The martial tournament had started, and everyone was shocked as Shen Xiang didn't qualify for the final eight spots. This surprised many, considering his strength. Even winning first place seemed easy based on his abilities.

After inquiries, they learned Shen Xiang was eliminated because of not attending preliminaries on time and hadn't appeared for five days.

Still cultivating, Shen Xiang felt elated because he saw the Spirit Path Soul Embryo growing significantly. It was originally just like a newborn, now resembling half a year old.

Shen Xiang learned from Long Xueyi that spirit growth was slow, like her growing to eight years old in the dragon egg before becoming a young maiden. More time was needed for her full growth, and once she matured, she would have unmatched strength.

Finally awake, Shen Xiang heard Long Xueyi's angry sweet voice as she said, "Shen Xiang, you slept for five days. All the hundred True Essence Pills and ten thousand crystals are gone."

"Why didn't you wake me" Shen Xiang immediately left the secret room and walked towards Taiwu Square, feeling regretful.

"I called you, but I didn't know you were so focused on cultivation. Next time don't feed all spirit awareness into the soul embryo, otherwise sleeping for decades won't be a problem," Long Xueyi warned him seriously. Without food, she was concerned about his sleep.

Shen Xiang wished he could slap himself because of his carelessness, causing him to miss the martial tournament and lose a hundred True Essence Pills and ten thousand crystals! This tore his heart apart.

In the center of the square, many people were enraged, and Shen Xiang saw several people lying on the martial stage nearby.

"What happened" Shen Xiang asked a middle-aged man near him.

The middle-aged man was startled when he saw Shen Xiang, and others around him were too. They all told Shen Xiang about the situation.

Shen Xiang quickly learned what happened, his pupils suddenly contracting as he looked at the high platform where Daodian Elder and Wukai Ming were. He saw a familiar face, one with a handsome face that carried pride but wasn't annoying.

Seeing this person, Shen Xiang clenched his fists, his fingertips piercing deeply into the flesh. This was Liao Shaoyun!

After returning from Fragrant City, Shen Xiang learned about Liao Shaoyun's matters and was greatly surprised. He never expected that Liao Shaoyun would be a True Martial Domain elder, and about to enter Nether Formation Realm. His talent was remarkable, playing a significant role in True Martial Domain.

Now, elders from True Martial Domain and Beast Martial Domain were bringing their disciples to participate in Taiwu Domain's grand event, proposing that their disciples compete with Taiwu Domain. Then, all Taiwu Domain disciples lost.said, regaining her usual demeanor. She knew that only being true to herself could calm the restless feelings within, or else she would embarrass herself in front of Shen Xiang.Shen Xiang didn't expec...
