Cai Ying had no idea that she was about to become a rising 'satellite' under overwhelming publicity.
Living deep in the mountains and forests of the Demon Realm year-round, she didn't even know what the Preaching Conference was.
Thus Sect Leader Jiang rarely took the initiative to give a science lesson to others.
Upon learning she would soon be fighting countless genius experts from the Demon Realm, this Little Sparrow Demon became anxious and uneasy again.
"Oh my god, how could I possibly defeat them?"
"Why are you afraid? With me here, you'll win effortlessly!"
"Really?"
"Of course, unless you don't trust the Demon Lord?"
"I certainly trust you!"
Cai Ying blurted out, but then shrank her neck and muttered softly, "Just afraid you'll fall asleep again at a crucial moment..."
Last time, Demon Lord Jiang fell asleep, resulting in her being brutally killed, and she still harbored a little resentment about it.
Brother Cheng, who never shifted the blame, felt very awkward and could only pretend not to hear.
In the following days, the flying vessel temporarily stopped over some sects from time to time.
Those Demon Sects that were allocated quotas had already chosen their candidates and were waiting to be picked up.
The whole process went smoothly, with each sect being stopped at for only a few dozen seconds.
After all, those daring to oppose the Holy Hall are very few.
Meanwhile, publicity about Cai Ying also started to unfold vigorously throughout the Linming War Zone.
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor called on everyone to learn from this Little Celestial Immortal's spirit of being unafraid of death for the sake of glory.
Countless demonic cultivators came to know her.
As a result, various discussions were rampant.
Some people thought this Little Celestial Immortal was quite brave.
"That's rare. A Celestial Immortal with such courage?"
"Is she really unafraid of death?"
"This really puts me to shame..."
But more demonic cultivators were actually very clear-headed.
"At a glance, you can tell it's just an act, performance."
"Even if it's not staged, it's just a Celestial Immortal with a dull head."
Cultivators who can live hundreds of thousands of years have long been savvy, having seen all kinds of tricks.
"So eager to court death, it's like being sold and counting others' money."
"Just an impulsive moment, still young!"
"I actually want to see how this Little Celestial Immortal will die when the time comes."
"She'll die without a trace in the first round."
Anyway, Cai Ying is indeed a celebrity now, at least in Linming War Zone, her name is currently mentioned the most.
A full month later, the flying vessel stopped at a huge Immortal City.
This time the flying vessel picked up over seventy thousand demonic cultivators.
As for the rest, they will come through other means to join here.
After over seventy thousand people got off the flying vessel, they were brought to the square in the city for assembly.
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor flew to the sky with several Demon Kings, delivering some ostentatious words to boost morale.
It's no more than urging everyone to perform well later, not to shame the Linming War Zone, nor disgrace their own sects.
Afterwards, the person in charge of the Holy Hall returned to his palace.
Soon, several altars rose gradually around the venue.
There's a Demon King overseeing each altar.
"Registration starts now!"
"Everyone pick your group, don't make mistakes!"
Several altars represent several different competition groups.
Aside from the Chaos Group, Demon King Group, Demon Venerable Group, there are Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Array Refining and several other groups for competition.
These latter group competitions naturally won't be combat.
The Preaching Conference aims to discover talent.
This certainly includes talents in Pill and Artifact Dao, among other important fields.
The Holy Hall similarly values genius and masters in these domains.
At the scene, over seventy thousand demonic cultivators quickly flocked to different altars to begin registration.
After registering here, each demonic cultivator will receive a mark on them.
Future competition at the Preaching Conference will rely on this mark to verify identity for entry.
Cai Ying mingled among the crowd, feeling a bit lost.
"Alright, time to register."
Brother Cheng was quite eager, wishing the competition would start today.
"Oh, oh."
Cai Ying identified the altar for the Profound Immortal Group and then flew towards it.
She just arrived there and immediately caught others' attention.
"Eh? There's actually a Celestial Immortal?"
"What the, didn't see wrong, really a Celestial Immortal, and only sixth-grade!"
Her demon race aura was perfectly disguised as human, but her real realm was plainly visible.
As soon as she got there, she was discovered by the surrounding demonic cultivators.
Those registering for the Profound Immortal Group, unsurprisingly, were all ninth-grade Profound Immortals.
These people were top-tier geniuses within their own sects, but coming here felt like being thrown into the sea, appearing rather ordinary.
They were originally worried, under great pressure.
Now seeing such a weakling, they all suddenly had a sense of superiority.
"Little Celestial Immortal, you aren't really here for the competition, are you?"
"Yes, yes, greetings seniors!" Cai Ying was still quite polite.
After getting her confirmation, many surrounding Profound Immortals became even more excited.
"Hahaha, really?"
"No way?"
"What's the situation? Can Celestial Immortals join the Preaching Conference?"
Someone stroked their chin speculating: "Could it be an exceptional genius capable of Crossing Rank Challenge?"
People nearby suddenly laughed uproariously.
"Possible?"
"Who among us can't do a Crossing Rank Challenge?"
"Can she even surpass a Great Realm?"
"Really don't know how someone like that got selected."
"Little girl, you'd better pray not to run into me, or you'll die a miserable death."
"Unlucky for you, I'm more ruthless when killing female cultivators..."
Someone even rubbed their hands, licked their lips, and their eyes shone as they stared at Cai Ying.
"Getting a bit excited, can't wait..."
Brother Cheng in the sword scabbard secretly grumbled, damn, what kind of a freak show is this?
"Tell them, they have absolutely no chance to fight me. Remember to make your gaze aloof and disdainful, like looking at insects."
Upon hearing the transmission, the Little Sparrow Demon looked around at the hostile, fierce, or sinister demonic cultivators all around, her heart filled with fear.
"Uh? Really say that?"
"Of course, you were chosen by me, how can you be humiliated like this?" Brother Cheng has certainly embraced the role of Personal Grandmaster.
The host being insulted, he felt it deeply okay?
"But I think it's nothing; letting them talk is fine..."
Little Sparrow Demon still wanted to resolve things peacefully.
"Can't believe you're a little saintly mother, are you trying to anger me to death? Get going, this is an order from the Grand Demon Palace!"
With this authority imposed, Cai Ying had no choice but to follow orders to retort people.
"You, you all... have absolutely no chance to fight me!"
She couldn't manage the aloof disdainful gaze, and her tone still sounded weak.
After saying this, she hurriedly hugged the sword with both hands to shield herself, fearing a brawl could start next moment.
Well, mainly hugging the sword scabbard gave her a strong sense of security.
As for the Tier Seven Immortal Sword, she couldn't really wield much power with it, having not refined it well during the recent month on the flying vessel.
"What?"
The laughs among the surrounding demons suddenly froze.
