Mountain Sitting Immortal
Chapter 334 - 334: Good For Both Sides.

As it turned out, Jason's unreasonable power, despite being weaker, was able to defeat Thor's unreasonable power. The fight also let people know another weakness of the giant red golem.

This weakness is that the red giant's senses weren't as good as those of a cultivator at the third mortal coil. There are many other weaknesses such as slow reaction times, but very few people can take advantage of these weaknesses even if they knew about them.

The fighting fields for the outer sect competition didn't take place in one single location. The fights took place in the fighting fields in the mountains all over the outer sect.

This was because there were just too many people competing. Instead of wasting time by using a single location to serve half a million competitors, it was better to spread the fights all over the outer sect.

Each mountain serving as accommodation for disciples had a fighting field. It was usually where disciples trained and where disputes were sorted out. So the outer sect had the infrastructure to cater to 500,000 fighters.

This arrangement made it so that every disciple in the outer sect was out on a mountain somewhere either preparing to fight or watching a fight. This situation coincided with the admission of new disciples.

As the new disciples were admitted into the sect, they were seen and heckled by the old disciples. This continued for two months until the admission of new disciples was stopped.

The outer sect competition had also ended by this time. Since Arthur made it to the top 100 in the ranking list, he had to leave the sect with the top 1,000 and participate in the intersect competition.

He didn't want to go because he was busy learning how to forge. But he had to go, and he was given a compelling reason to.

Actually, he was given two reasons to go. The first reason was that the result of the intersect competition affected the pact that the Blood Skull sect has with the other four sects.

According to the information sent to him along with the notification to prepare for the intersect competition, the pact will remain valid only if the Blood Skull sect can dominate the intersect competition.

If the Blood Skull sect dominates the intersect competition, then certain benefits will be given to them without the sect having to fight for it. For the sect, this is a good thing because they can gain large benefits by using their outer sect disciples.

This is also a good thing for the other sects because if the Blood Skull sect doesn't have their way in the intersect competition, the Blood Skull sect will have to bring out their big guns to fight for benefits. No one wants to see that happen.

Lastly, the intersect competition is a good thing for both sides because it gives disciples an opportunity to kill and see blood.

Disciples of the same sect can't kill each other. But if they don't kill each other, their edges and skills will be dull. So this intersect competition is a training exercise. It is an opportunity for disciples to use their techniques to kill.

It was the personnel hall that sent the notification and this information to him. While these benefits were compelling, they didn't interest him as much as the fact that the intersect competition will be held in a secret realm.

These secret realms are not the ones in the core of sects where the inner sects reside. Apparently, there are other secret realms in the region.

The personnel hall told him that the competition will be held in a secret realm being guarded by a cultivation family. Secret realms interest him, so he did some research about them.

After asking around, Arthur learned that every cultivation family was in charge of protecting a secret realm and that each secret realm contained resources to help cultivators at the second mortal coil breakthrough to the third mortal coil.

The resources in the secret realm are supposed to be the reward for the top 1,000 in the ranking list. Because those at the top 1,000 are usually at the peak of the second mortal coil, these resources will help them reach the third mortal coil and become inner sect disciples.

The intersect competition is essentially a struggle for the resources in the secret realm. Arthur didn't care much for the competition, but he was interested in the secret realm and the resources he could acquire from them.

Arthur was especially interested in the corpses of beasts, which he could use for forging armaments. He was also interested in cultivation resources to speed up his cultivation speed, so he prepared seriously for the competition.

He filled his space pouch with things that he might need, like his weapons for fighting, his workbooks for practicing drawing runes, and other amenities like seasoning for cooking. Then he left his house with Roar.

He and Thor were the only ones from his sect who would be participating in the intersect competition, and they were close acquaintances, if not friends, so they decided to leave together.

The two of them went down the mountain together. Arthur was riding Roar while etching runes on a piece of sheepskin. Thor, on the other hand, was riding a metal horse, and he was tinkering with a round ball.

There was a large red box yoked to the metal horse. The horse was pulling the box as if it were a plow.

Arthur asked him, "So how was the outer sect competition? Did you enjoy it as you thought?"

Thor smiled and nodded. "I did. It was so much fun. Now I'm about to go and have more fun."

Arthur chuckled and said, "I'm glad that you enjoyed it."

Thor turned to him and smiled brighter as he said, "Then you will be more glad to hear that I took your advice and decided to create an efficient bomb."
