During this ascetic-like cultivation, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt that time passed extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months had already gone by. For other cultivators, it was just three months, but for Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen, it felt like nearly a year.
For a whole year, they either fought in the Desert World or cultivated in the cultivation room.
"Wife, tomorrow is the start of the competition among the Four Halls, and it's time for us to come out of seclusion," Emperor Beichen said, turning his gaze to Bai Li Hongzhuang. After being in seclusion for so long, if they didn't appear soon, the hall masters and elders would start to worry.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded, "It's also time for me to return to Zhuque Hall."
She still didn't know the arrangements Zhuque Hall had for her in this Four Halls competition. If she didn't find out today, she might not even understand how the competition would be conducted tomorrow.
"I should also go to the Council Hall to discuss with the hall masters and elders," Emperor Beichen said with a smile.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen exchanged a glance, then walked out of the cultivation room together. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai jumped onto Bai Li Hongzhuang's shoulders, while the White Lion followed by her side.
In this year, the White Lion had grown even more robust in size compared to before. Walking beside Bai Li Hongzhuang, it looked like a majestic lion, attracting attention.
As soon as they left the palace, Bai Li Hongzhuang quickly headed towards Zhuque Hall.
In fact, she could be considered the least attentive disciple of Zhuque Hall. Since becoming a disciple of Zhuque Hall, she rarely stayed there and had no knowledge of anything inside the hall. She hadn't even collected the monthly cultivation resources that she should have received as a disciple of Zhuque Hall.
After verifying her strength with the ranking pillar, she had never gone to verify it again. Perhaps... she had already become the bottom-ranked disciple of Zhuque Hall. After all, the strength of each disciple in the sect improved rapidly.
Fortunately, with her current status, she didn't need to worry about the amount of monthly cultivation resources anymore. These were the conditions inherent to being a peerless genius.
In the past, she had climbed up step by step from the grassroots, but now she had someone behind her.
While Bai Li Hongzhuang was on her way to Zhuque Hall, Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu were anxiously pacing like ants on a hot pan.
"Junyu, could it be that Hongzhuang has been too focused on cultivation and forgot about the day of the Four Halls competition?" Xia Zhiqing paced back and forth anxiously. Today was the day to confirm the disciples' participation in the Four Halls competition.
Although there were many disciples participating in the competition, not every disciple could join. With a large number of disciples in Tian Gang Sect, if every disciple were to participate, they wouldn't know when the competition would end.
If Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't show up today, she might not be able to participate in the competition tomorrow.
Bai Junyu clearly didn't expect this situation to arise. "Hongzhuang shouldn't be cultivating outside, should she? Should we go to the Junior Sect Master's palace to look for her?"
"The Junior Sect Master hasn't appeared for a long time either. It's possible that she's not in the sect. You know, Hongzhuang has been coming and going without a trace lately. Besides, with our identities, we can't even reach the Junior Sect Master's palace," Xia Zhiqing explained.
