As for why Hong Yuanba didn’t go, it was primarily because he still had to maintain order, not just inside and outside the Canghai Cave Heaven, but also the maritime order beyond the islands.

Such grand events were absolutely not allowed to be disrupted by the outer realm forces. Hong Yuanba, the second-grade East Sea General, had to personally oversee things.

In the past few years, the turmoil in the East Sea hadn’t affected Hong Yuanba’s position, as the level wasn’t high enough, and the disturbances were quickly quelled afterward.

But if this grand event were attacked again, Hong Yuanba would have no choice but to resign in disgrace.

The news reached the Wind Breath Cloud Ship, where only three junior mansion officials were currently staying.

"Does a Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture who can manipulate Ten Thousand Skill Avatars violate the rules by participating in the Ten Thousand Beasts Competition?" Geng Shouchang looked at the reported information with interest.

"Participating doesn’t violate the rules, but using Ten Thousand Skill Avatars does constitute cheating," said another white-bearded Minister of Agriculture, "Ten Thousand Skill Avatars are no different from a divine weapon. Zhao Xing should be immediately disqualified from the competition."

"Brother Yunhai, such a penalty would be unjust," said third-rank Minister of Agriculture Heng Yuan, "Ten Thousand Skill Avatars rely on their magic. How can that be considered a divine weapon? It’s not prohibited by the rules."

"But it’s not permitted either!" Sima Yunhai said excitedly, "Moreover, this skill is no different from an evil technique! Soul Binding and Soul Devouring are its core. I suggest we thoroughly investigate this person!"

Heng Yuan fell silent, knowing it was useless to argue with Sima Yunhai, who harbored intense hatred for anyone who could manipulate Ten Thousand Skill Avatars.

Two years ago, his junior brother, Pang Xianyun, had fought a battle with Liu Tianning at the Dao Yuan Continent’s dojo.

Liu Tianning set a goal for his disciple, which he himself also had to achieve. To become vice-dean of Shangluo Academy, he needed solid achievements.

So, Liu Tianning challenged a high-ranking Heavenly Time Sect’s Minister of Agriculture, who happened to be Pang Xianyun.

Pang was third-rank, while Liu Tianning was fourth-rank. Liu Tianning had Pang Xianyun cast all his spells first, then defeated him with a single move.

Originally, not many people knew about this, but after being defeated, Pang Xianyun was completely impressed by Liu Tianning.

He directly switched from the Heavenly Time Sect to the Self Sect!

He gave up his high-ranking position to become a Doctor of Governance at Shangluo Academy during this year’s administrative restructuring.

He openly revered Liu Tianning, saying, "The ultimate manifestation of Ten Thousand Skills; Master Liu can be my preaching mentor."

That was when the matter, initially unnoticed, quickly spread through the Minister of Agriculture circles in Dao Yuan Continent.

Sima Yunhai was furious upon hearing the news!

His junior brother was third-rank, while Liu Tianning was fourth-rank. Losing the fight was one thing, but switching allegiances?

Shame, absolute shame!

Sima Yunhai went to persuade his junior brother, only to find he had even changed his name.

He was originally called Pang Xianyun, but now he was called Pang Yuanzhen.

When Sima Yunhai went over, Pang Yuanzhen, in turn, advised Sima Yunhai to abandon the Heavenly Time Skill and delve into the Path of Self.

Sima Yunhai tried to persuade Pang Yuanzhen for three days and nights, but Pang Yuanzhen spent three days and nights explaining the Grassman Skill to him.

He spoke until Sima Yunhai felt utterly disheartened.

Since then, they had gone their separate ways, and Sima Yunhai had developed a deep loathing for the Self Sect, viewing the Ten Thousand Skill Grassman as evil, particularly attacking the Soul-Devouring Grassman Technique.

Now seeing Zhao Xing, who practiced the Ten Thousand Skill Grassman, Sima Yunhai was naturally agitated.

Geng Shouchang said, "Brother Yunhai, let’s not get agitated. Leave this matter to the higher-ups to decide."

"This is an evil technique; this is an evil technique..." Sima Yunhai muttered to himself.

Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan exchanged a glance and quietly left, then reported the matter to Wang Tianzhi.

As a candidate for the leadership of the Heavenly Time Sect, Wang Tianzhi had a broad perspective. He quickly responded to the officials, "This doesn’t count as a violation, at least not for this round."

"Not this round, then next round it will?" Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang exchanged a glance upon receiving the message.

They then relayed the decision to Hong Yuanba.

Hong Yuanba passed the decision on to Lin Zhengfeng.

Lin Zhengfeng then notified all the guards in Canghai Cave Heaven, to avoid repetitive inquiries: "In the future, if you encounter this Minister of Agriculture Guardian named Zhao Xing, or any similar cases, do not report them as anomalies. The Minister of Agriculture’s Ten Thousand Skill Avatars are not considered a violation."

The guards were puzzled but nodded understandingly, then went back to brush up on their knowledge regarding Ministers of Agriculture.

However, they all remembered the name Zhao Xing, knowing a Minister of Agriculture Guardian was participating in the Ten Thousand Beasts Competition.

...

Zhao Xing was unaware that his Ten Thousand Skill Avatars had been discussed by so many higher-ups on the first day.

He was currently in the forty-second palace, checking the rankings.

[Name: Zhao Xing]

[Checkpoint: Grand Arena (First Day)]

[Points:78000]

[Rank: 23818]

"Seventy-eight thousand points; it seems they haven’t encountered anyone else. They don’t have any extra points."

"Indeed, it’s not yet intense at this stage; the top ranking is only around two to three hundred thousand points."

On the first day, everyone was still looking for supplies to ensure their subsequent mobility; competition wasn’t very fierce yet.

Even those who couldn’t take anything wouldn’t starve in two or three days.

"In two months, I’d estimate the competition will only get intense after the first month."

Zhao Xing closed the Earth Mirror rankings.

The current rankings weren’t very indicative.

"In half a day, I’ve already scoured forty-one out of forty-six supply points near Cangzhu Lake."

"Five of them were empty, obviously taken by others."
