"They're here, they're here."

Fearing the arrival of Sha Xiao, the fat cat immediately tore through space and fawned over her.

"I've been eagerly awaiting this, sir. Please feel free to give me any instructions."

A powerful demon of the first level of the Sendai realm, capable of annihilating the entire Anping Kingdom with a single stomp in the Central Plains.

The moment it saw Sha Xiao, it wisely offered up its belly and began to meow without any dignity.

If you ask why Meow Meow went from being a peerless demon who once roamed the mountains and forests to what it is now?

If you saw a five-colored golden pheasant at the second level of the Sendai realm have its neck snapped and be boiled by this man at the Wheel Sea realm, most people would be even less impressive than a pig.

Recalling that terrifying scene that defied common sense, Piglet licked its lips in fear.

Besides, those chicken necks tasted really good.

Sha Xiao looked at the piglet, whose courage had been completely shattered by her, and casually stroked its chubby belly, which rippled with flesh. "Hong Yi informed you, right? About the arrangements for this League Tournament."

Piglet was taken aback. In his opinion, Sha Xiao was such a big shot, why would he care about the selection of a small Karami?

Is this what it means for a great person to have leisure time?

Piglet muttered to itself, shook its fat body, and said with unwavering determination, "My lord, please rest assured, I have arranged all the selection procedures according to Lord Hongyi's instructions."

As it spoke, it used its divine power to reveal the layout of the entire small world to Sha Xiao.

The entire small world is divided into five parts: east, south, west, north, and center, with a layout exactly the same as that of the Big Dipper.

It's obvious that the sage who built this small world back then wanted to use the Little Big Dipper to explore something.

But the Big Dipper was designed by a great emperor; how could a mere sage possibly manage it?

In the end, it was all for naught, and Sha Xiao got away with it for nothing.

As seen on the map, the vast majority of participants are currently located in the Nanling Mountains.

Piglet pointed to the map and said, "As you have arranged, I have divided this game into five parts in the order of south, west, north, east, and center."

"What we're currently doing in Nanling is testing a Gu cultivator's most basic Gu-refining ability."

"This place has always been inhabited by many young men, with spiritual herbs everywhere, fragrant medicinal herbs, and abundant resources."

"I have already given the orders; the giant spider and his men have already positioned themselves in one area to block the road."

"It will ask them to refine Gu. As long as they can refine Gu that can solve the problem, they will be allowed to pass. Once more than half of the people have passed, we will stop letting them pass."

Sha Xiao nodded; this was both the most difficult and the easiest hurdle.

There is no limit to the number of people required for this level. Even if tens of thousands of people work together to create a single Gu, it will still count as a pass.

This is a great supplementary lesson for ordinary Gu cultivators. Once they pass this test, they will at least know how to refine Gu.

Once they leave, the entire mortal realm will undergo another earth-shattering change.

Sha Xiao was delighted to see such changes. As the number of Gu cultivators spread throughout the Mortal Dynasty, he had already seen news of the world independently refining Gu in the countries surrounding the Qishi Mansion.

Although most of them are currently only first or second-stage Gu worms, their appearance is a good thing.

The few seeded players who are almost guaranteed a spot in the top eight out of hundreds of millions of people have their potential by finding wild Gu worms that are compatible with their natal Gu and building their killer moves.

"Once they get to the west, Old Scorpion will be in charge there and will send them to find something."

"Whoever finds the designated item first in that pile of yellow sand will be allowed to proceed north."

Sha Xiao looked at the target that Zhu Mi had pointed out and nodded.

Deep underground in the fire veins of the Western Desert, lotus flowers grow one after another, continuously converting heat into the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

This is the result of Sha Xiao's research on how to refine the Chaos Treasure King Lotus and enable it to reproduce autonomously—the Earth Core Green Lotus Gu.

It can take root in the earth's veins, draw fire from them, and store it as source stones or elemental stones.

This is a gift prepared by Sha Xiao for those who have passed the second level. Finding just one of these plants will make the trip worthwhile.

To find this lotus flower among identical sand dunes in the vast desert.

This tests these people's perception, search, and concealment abilities.

"When we get to the north, the old dog will send his pack of pups to block our way."

"Whoever can command a herd of 100,000 beasts, or defeat a herd of equal size, can travel to the East."

Sha Xiao smiled slightly as he looked at the pack of wolves and various wild animals moving across the grassland.

Gathering 100,000 of the same kind of monsters across the entire grassland is no easy task; one would basically have to assemble a ragtag army.

This is where these little guys' ability to make choices will be tested. Learning to feed an entire ragtag herd of beasts is basically the same as learning how to raise Gu poison.

"Then in the East, they will engage in the most brutal battle. Here, we have deployed the most divine weapons."

""

"I will personally oversee things here. Only the first few people to pass the initial screening will be allowed to enter Zhongzhou."

"Then, when we arrived in Zhongzhou, it was time for proper, conventional combat."

As she spoke, Piggy glanced at Sha Xiao and handed over the list.

In fact, that was the king's weapon, the great weapon, that was left after Sha Xiao killed all the troublemakers in the small world and was picked over by the few remaining great demons.

Looking at the competition process, Sha Xiao nodded.

He organized this competition for two reasons.

One of them is naturally to look for possibilities that can solve the problems of spiritual practice.

Secondly, it is to further promote the methods of Gu cultivation to the mortals of Zhongzhou, so that they can quickly acquire strength comparable to their cultivation level.

Among the vast sea of ​​people, at least a thousand have broken through to the fourth or fifth level.

If they all embark on the path of Gu cultivation and acquire a full set of Gu worms, it would mean that thousands of people who have transformed into dragons or even reached the Immortal Platform would suddenly appear in Zhongzhou, which would inevitably further expand the Gu Dao inheritance.

After flipping through it, Sha Xiao nodded and said, "It's not bad, the arrangement is quite reasonable."

Piglet breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"This team needs some pressure," Sha Xiao said, pointing at Princess Yu Die.

"I want to unleash the full potential of this person, I want to see all her methods, and I will work with you in her team."

Piglet took a closer look and immediately saw through Princess Rain Butterfly's disguise.

oh~~~

Piglet nodded knowingly, thinking it understood what Sha Xiao meant.

Isn't this a classic case of an older man dating a younger woman?

Oh no, wait, what do you mean by "a graceful lady is sought after by a gentleman"?

Oh, I see. Okay, since you enjoy having fun, we'll definitely help you make sure it's done well.

Piglet looked at Princess Rain Butterfly, then at the contestants scattered throughout the Southern Ridge, and began to make plans in his mind.

"Achoo! Who's cursing Miss Ben?"

"Fairy Qi, are you alright?"

"7

"Have you caught a cold? I have a snow fox fur coat here, if you don't mind..."

With her unparalleled beauty and stunning waist, Qi Huoshui waved her hand to interrupt the fawning of her followers, curiously and excitedly observing the mortals around her.

"Wow, what a small world! The people behind this are really pulling off something big..."
