Once all the top forces that had monopolized the entry rights to the Treasure Lands had appeared, every single one of them glared at each other while secretly checking out who it was that came here with the best group.

And the final conclusion, it was tied between the demons trained by the Divine Night Sect, the swordsmen who followed discipline belonging to the Thunder Sword Palace, and the ice-cold beauties from the Ice Phoenix Empire who had all the men salivating for a chance to spend one night with them.

Unfortunately, everyone themselves knew that their desire would most likely remain an unaccomplishable dream due to the fact that the women from the Ice Pheonix Empire considered their virginities more valuable than their own lives.

Still, it wasn't that bad from to just look at them and imagine how nice it would be to have sex with them.

"You can stop drooling now."

Not falling for the obvious trick because Bai Long himself knew his own body the best, he smiled and said, "I can't help it. They look so much more beautiful than the woman inside the Divine Night Sect."

With her lips twitching, Lifen regretted the fact that she even bothered trying to fool him.

"So, who's who?"

Answering his question, Lifen boldly pointed at each of the group of human cultivators and spoke about which force they were affiliated with and where they were ranked on the strength chart.

Of course she out the Divine Night Sect in the first place. Following it, was the Ice Phoenix Empire which was literally considered as the safe haven for women on the Mainland and also the strongest Empire in existence since the time there were records of what happened on the Mainland.

Following that was the Thunder Sword Palace, the Shi Clan which prides itself in being the force which controlled the strongest flames in existence which could even burn the space and void, and so on.

As for the Sect of Enlightenment, it was obviously ranked as the weakest force of all the top forces that were gathered here due to the obvious bad blood between them and the Divine Night Sect.

What Bai Long didn't understand however was why none of the sixteen top-grade forces didn't try to band together and launching an attack on the Divine Night Sect which was considered as the most evil one of the Mainland.

Understanding what it was that Bai Long wanted to ask, Lifen said, "Even though our sect is the most evil one, it isn't as if all the others forces as saints."

"Also, not all of them have some enmity with us. For example, the Ice Phoenix Empire were actually allies at one point of time."

"This was when they needed help in getting rid of all men that were trying to invade the Ice Phoenix Empire and pillage it due to it still not being the strongest force in existence at that time."

"Like this, there are quite a few forces which we have some good relationship with due to which not all of them would gang up on us."

"Of course they wouldn't stand by our side if we were to be suddenly seized by the multiple number of forces that are gathered here, but not many of them would dare to go against us anyway."

"After all, even though they might be able to kill most of us right here, they wouldn't want to do so due to being afraid of the revenge our sect would take on those who participated in killing us."

Nodding his head in understanding, Bai Long didn't really need to ask about anything else as all sixteen groups of cultivators that were gathered here dispersed one by one.

...

With all of the forces setting up a camp of their own close by, by the time it was sundown it looked like a new city was being built due to how many number of tents there were as far as the eyes could see.

Surprisingly enough, Bai Long wasn't given a tent of his own and forced to share one with Lifen.

Well, he wasn't really forced because he was more than happy to do so.

When he asked for the reason behind then needing to stay together, Lifen explained that whenever the special portals to the best Treasure Lands opened, all of the forces would try to assassinate the best talents in the forces they didn't get along with.

And, even though Bai Long's Realm talent was not known by anyone due to Lifen keeping everything about him a secret and since he had only joined the Divine Night Sect recently, Lifen didn't want to risk him dying because she was too lazy to bother protecting him.

Once the sun had disappeared, it wasn't long before the moon came up and the air was filled with the scent of the various delicacies that tickled the nose and aroused the hunger.

Considering that all of the forces wanted the show off their supremacy, they had not just bought the best cooks with them but also resources which were too precious to be consumed daily.

These included special meat of the beasts which had been reared by feeding precious herbs to increase final taste, and so on.

Using these specially rared animals and herbs which could help cultivators in the Sage Realm cultivate to cook tasty food, all of the forces tried to make the others feel envious of them.

But even though all of them could be considered as being luxurious, it was the Sect of Enlightenment which seemed to be the best at showing themselves off.

With how brightly they lit up their surroundings, it looked more like they were having a party instead of camping.

That's when Lifen told Jian Shen that there was actually a birthday party being taken place right now.

Yup. Someone in the Sect of Enlightenment that was related to one of its Grand Elders was having his birthday party to show off his wealth to members of the Divine Night Sect.
