Cai Ying's performance in the first round was truly astounding.
Although this doesn't prove she's a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, or even whether she's a Fifth-Grade Immortal Artifact Master.
But with such a historic performance, she's already caught the attention of the Taie Demon Emperor.
At least in terms of material knowledge, this Celestial Immortal is unquestionably the best in the Demon Realm.
Even if she's not an Immortal Artifact Master, just this ability makes her worthy of being recruited by the Nine-Star Demon Hall.
So after the round ended, the Taie Demon Emperor hurried over to make his presence known and offered some encouragement.
He merely said something like, your performance was good, keep working hard, I have high expectations for you.
Brother Cheng had already returned to the Sword Scabbard, and now the Little Sparrow Demon was in control of the body.
Facing such a top Demon Emperor, she lacked confidence, unsure if the Demon Lord's Immortal Soul could handle it, but she was much more restrained than usual.
Learning that Cai Ying was the Little Celestial Immortal, the Immortal Artifact Masters who had just competed were in an uproar.
"It was her?"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible, this must be a mistake!"
"A mere Celestial Immortal, how could she possibly..."
"With her Realm and knowledge, how could she recognize so many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures?"
"I've never heard of this girl before, she's not even from a prestigious sect!"
"I don't believe it!"
Previously losing to Master Tu Qin, they felt it was only natural.
Now discovering they lost to a Celestial Immortal, they couldn't accept it at all.
Especially since this Celestial Immortal was one they had previously mocked and scorned.
But no amount of questioning would change the fact.
Cai Ying's competition indeed took place in front of billions of Demon Cultivators' eyes.
What kind of tricks could there possibly be?
No matter how she did it, it was indeed a true demonstration of skill.
"There must be something behind this!"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!"
"I seriously suspect this Celestial Immortal was arranged by the Holy Hall."
"Yes, she must have known the test questions in advance!"
If she knew the 18,000 types of materials beforehand and prepared in advance, the competition would indeed be much simpler.
It would totally make achieving the feat of 9,000 combinations possible.
As they spoke, many spectators were swayed.
Thinking about it carefully, a Celestial Immortal suddenly achieving such a historic result, overshadowing the Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, indeed seemed unreasonable.
Could it be that it was truly a hidden manipulation, cheating?
"This must be thoroughly investigated! They are making fools of us!"
"Yes, it must be thoroughly investigated!"
"You, Holy Hall, must give us a reasonable explanation!"
Master Tu Qin's face was gloomy as he coldly said, "What you're doing is an insult to all Immortal Artifact Masters in the Six Realms!"
With this accusation, the three Demon Emperors of the Holy Hall found themselves in a predicament.
"Fellow Daoist Tu Qin, your words are unfounded!"
The three Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters of the Holy Hall couldn't sit still.
This 'test question' was created by them, implying they helped the Celestial Immortal cheat?
The three flew out simultaneously, causing another uproar in the arena.
The four Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters of the Demon Realm appearing together was an unprecedented spectacle.
"These 18,000 materials were selected separately by us three, 6,000 each."
"We did not disclose them to anyone!"
"And before the competition began, none of us knew the full list of materials!"
"Unless this Celestial Immortal managed to steal a peek at all our selections simultaneously, it's impossible for her to cheat."
The three firmly denied any cheating, leaving the Demon Cultivators and Immortal Artifact Masters no choice but to believe them.
Thinking it over, the difficulty of this cheating was indeed too high, practically impossible to achieve.
Moreover, what motive would the Holy Hall have to do such a thing?
Even if they wanted to do something like this, they should have chosen a Quasi-Emperor instead of a mere Celestial Immortal.
So, did that Celestial Immortal really achieve it by her own ability?
For a moment, everyone's gaze at Cai Ying changed.
No more suspicion, only admiration.
How could a mere Celestial Immortal be so formidable?
Even the Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor above was shocked.
He was completely baffled now.
Could this Celestial Immortal really be a peerless genius in the Artifact Refining Realm?
One not seen for a million years?
Did my casual remark actually hit the mark?
But this is too outrageous, right?
This Celestial Immortal was just randomly encountered at the Black Lake Sect, can you really encounter a once-in-a-million-years genius of artifact refining just like that?
This mid-stage Quasi-Emperor started doubting life.
"I don't believe it!"
Master Tu Qin couldn't accept this result.
Facing those three Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters, he gave a cold laugh.
"Ha, do you think she could know so many materials?"
"She's just a mere Celestial Immortal!"
"And not from a prestigious sect with deep foundations, how could she have the knowledge of so many obscure materials?"
"Can you believe there's no problem here?"
The three Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters furrowed their brows.
They also thought it was incredulous.
But the issue is, she did it.
Without any evidence of her cheating, hypothesizing based on so-called experience is meaningless.
"This Evangelical Assembly is filthy and corrupt, it's not worth competing!"
Saying this, Master Tu Qin flung his sleeves aggressively, intending to leave directly.
The three Demon Emperors and the Quasi-Emperors of the Holy Hall quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Master Tu Qin, why must you care so much about her?"
"Yes, with your power, wouldn't you still firmly secure the first place in the remaining three rounds?"
"She just accidentally got hold of some Ancient Classics and knows more materials..."
A genuine Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master coming over was something the Holy Hall couldn't bear to let slip away.
Not only did the three Demon Emperors, but even the three masters took the initiative to persuade Tu Qin to stay.
However, Master Tu Qin seemed resolute.
"Participating in such an unfair competition, competing alongside such despicable cheaters, is an insult to me!"
These words confirmed Cai Ying's cheating.
The Little Sparrow Demon couldn't hold back anymore.
She bluntly threw a sentence in their direction, "At your old age, can't accept defeat, just a waste!"
In the Little Sparrow Demon's eyes now, probably everyone except the Demon Lord was a waste.
Her words were like pouring oil into the fire, instantly setting the entire scene ablaze again.
Though you won a round, calling a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master a waste is a bit too much, right?
Master Tu Qin turned back in rage, "You see, this vile person not only shows no remorse but also speaks insolently and makes outrageous claims. I will never participate in this Evangelical Assembly again!"
The Demon Emperors were anxious.
Just now, after much persuasion, the master was almost being convinced to stay.
They simultaneously looked sternly at Cai Ying, prioritizing Tu Qin in their hearts.
"What are you doing?"
"Master Tu Qin is a genuine Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, how can you speak to him like that?"
"Truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, quickly apologize to him for your rudeness!"
Meanwhile, Brother Cheng sent a message into the Little Sparrow Demon's Sea of Souls.
"Your level of sarcasm isn't enough, stick with me for what's next."
