The Annual Gathering officially began.
The moment Xue Wuhen's voice fell, figures shot out and onto the surface of the lake.
To walk on water and fight on the lake's surface required not only a formidable Body Technique and Lightweight Skill, but also profound Cultivation to support it.
The choice of Star Moon Lake as the venue raised the barrier to entry for this year's Annual Gathering considerably higher than in the past.
"They're starting right off with a battle between two candidates for the Ten Great. I'd say anyone whose Cultivation hasn't reached the Peak of Postnatal isn't even qualified to get on stage this year."
"That's to be expected. Too many big shots are paying attention this year. It's the grandest Annual Gathering ever held. In such a solemn occasion, even Postnatal Late Stage Martial Artists would be too embarrassed to compete."
As the first battle erupted, the crowd burst into discussion.
