Shi Ling listened attentively and at the same time took out a piece of jade plate. If he wanted to remember all the key points mentioned by the Monthly Competition host, maybe he would be able to use it at the start of the second round.

She then said with a deep voice, "This month's competition will be held in the Hundred River County's Demonic Beast Mountain Range. We will dance with the beasts in the second round!"

Once he said that, many of the disciples present were startled, and all of them revealed shocked expressions. It was clear that they had not known until this moment that the second round of the competition would be held in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, so those who were prepared secretly rejoiced, and those who were not prepared were completely confused.

The entire audience started to clamor again, but the words of the host of the monthly competition did not stop because of this, and so he spoke again: "You guys need to live in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range for twenty days, and during these twenty days, do your best to collect Demonic Beast s. The quantity and quality of the Demonic Core you collect will determine whether or not you can advance to the critical point of the third round of the monthly competition, understand?"

When the host said his last sentence, he shouted it out loud. Everyone who heard it felt their hearts clench, but they all shouted in unison, "Understood!"

When the host of the competition saw this, he nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he turned around, clasped his hands together, and knelt on one knee. He growled, "Elders, please appear!"

Once he said that, two pillars of light suddenly shot out from the platform he was standing on. Everyone turned their gazes towards the two beams of light and looked up. The next moment, two figures slowly descended from the sky.

His Floral Pupil was released, allowing him to clearly see the two figures inside. One of them was a sexy and revealing woman, while the other was a skinny old man. They did not reveal any of their presence, but even so, it made people want to prostrate themselves in front of him.

One of them was Spirit Sword Sect sect master, Nangong Ling, and the other was the Hall Master of Jinluo Hall, Lu Yuntian. From this, one could infer that those two elders should have reached the highest level of existence in the Divine Martial Secret Stage.

Shi Ling could not help but take a deep breath. At this moment, Shi Ling finally understood why Spirit Sword Sect could occupy the overlord position of this place that was filled with tens of thousands of clans. Just by relying on this expert in Divine Martial Secret Stage, he was not someone that other sects or powers could compare to.

Thinking up to here, Shi Ling once again raised his head, and looked at the two figures that slowly descended, respectively landing on the Martial Arena stage. Their cold eyes swept across the area below, as if checking if all of the personnel were present.

After that, the host of the monthly competition walked up to the two elders, bowed and said, "Elders, the second round of the monthly competition can begin. Please open the teleportation gate!"

Hearing this, the two elders nodded their heads, and Stamping began to appear in their hands. In the next moment, the hunchbacked old man bellowed: "Ancient Door, open!"

After saying that, his Stamping suddenly stopped and fiercely waved his hand. Everyone present could clearly feel a wave of mana that was as vast as a sea of smoke spread out, instantly spreading out to a radius of several hundred kilometers, almost covering half of the Spirit Sword Sect inside.

After Shi Ling felt the earth-shattering mana, he actually had a feeling that he couldn't breathe. But immediately after, Shi Ling felt his body lighten and he started floating in the air.

Following that, the people around Shi Ling saw Shi Ling's body transform into a ray of light and disappear on the spot. Not only that, all the disciples who were participating in the monthly competition were also like that.

For a time, the dazzling light made many of the surrounding disciples unable to open their eyes.

After ten breaths of time, the light dissipated and everyone dared to open their eyes. After that, they were shocked to see that the arena, which was originally filled with people, had completely disappeared, without a single one remaining. In the sky, a huge golden gate had appeared out of thin air, and on it were carvings of all sorts of ancient vicious beasts, giving off an ancient feeling.

On the high platform, after seeing that all of the disciples had been sent away, host Yue Bi clasped her hands toward the two elders behind her. "Thank you very much, elders."

The hunchbacked old man just nodded his head. Beside him, the sexy and beautiful female Elder who was exposed to the world by his side slightly frowned and said softly: "Why do I feel like something will happen during this month's competition?"

With that, she turned to the old man and said, "Elder Tao, why don't we personally go to the scene to watch it!"

The old man called Elder Tao heard this and nodded with a smile. He said, "That's exactly what I want to do. This old man has not spoken to his old friend for many years."

With that, he flew towards the golden door. There was no mistake, he was just flying, and without using any cultivation skills or Fa Li, he was already walking through the air. This was Divine Martial Secret Stage, it had already completely broken away from the mortal realm, and in a sense, had already become a god.

As for the female Elder, she immediately flew with elder Tao towards the golden door. Soon, they also disappeared from everyone's sight.

"..."

On Shi Ling's side, Shi Ling was currently in a dark cave. Outside the cave, there was a tropical forest surrounded by dense bushes. The sound of insects and birds could be faintly heard, and Shi Ling himself was lying on a soft bush.

At the same time, his head even shook a little, making the scenery in front of his eyes hazy and blurry. But very quickly, it became clear, and after looking around at the scene, Shi Ling stood up from the ground, with one hand on his head, he muttered: "Could this be the Demonic Beast Mountain Range?!"

As he said that, Shi Ling walked out of the cave and looked around him. He was no different from an ordinary rainforest, and he muttered to himself: "I guess this place I am at right now should be the outskirts of the Demonic Beast mountain range, otherwise, once I appear, I would probably be eaten up to nothing."

However, just as Shi Ling finished speaking, his ears twitched, and he heard a series of soft sounds coming from behind him. Shi Ling turned his head to look, only to see that deep in the cave, there were a lot of gigantic Mad Lion Beast s staring at him with a face full of anger.

Shi Ling's pupils constricted when he saw this. He could not help but take a few steps back and muttered to himself, "Holy shit, what happened? How come there are so many Mad Lion Beast?"

Then, Bai Xiaosheng's voice suddenly reached Shi Ling's ears, and he said: "Nonsense, the place you are currently at is the territory of the Mad Lion Beast, how can there be no Mad Lion Beast?"

Hearing that, Shi Ling's eyes slightly widened. When he looked at the Mad Lion Beast, he realized that they were shouting at him and charging towards him.
