Time passed, and thanks to the deterrence of the previous martial exhibitions, the contests of Elixir, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation in the martial arts competition proceeded smoothly to the end.
Disciples from the Divine Skills and Intercept sects endowed with craftsmanship, as well as Buddhist monks, took turns to guard the stage.
Although there were no restrictions on cultivation level in these contests, disciples of more than three generations from these sects generally did not participate in the competition.
Additionally, perhaps because they often chanted scriptures and recited the Buddha's name, the monks from the Buddhist sects were not as proficient in the four arts of cultivation as the disciples from the Divine Skills and Intercept sects.
Therefore, the ones who made it to the end of the four contests were still disciples from the Divine Skills and Intercept sects.
