Chapter 263: The Stunning Mu Yan:
(On the Unknown Desolate Planet)
All Night Clan cultivators entered here had to undergo trials.
Their trials, however, differed.
Mu Lingsha stood in the desert in the midst of a swirl of laws.
Currently, she encountered sand beasts with different laws.
For such sand beasts to be destroyed, she had to manifest the corresponding laws.
In fact, there were a few who had a set of laws on their bodies.
She must first break these chains in order to defeat them.
Despite the differences in the trials, the purpose remained the same.
As Mu Lingsha said, it depended on the number of laws one had mastered.
***
(Above this Desolate Planet)
An Expert in the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm hovered in the sky.
After all, only an Expert in the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm could set up so many trials simultaneously.
With a faint smile on his face, this Expert in the Heavenly God Realm crossed his arms and scanned the cultivators below him.
He was already a cultivator in the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm. Conversely, cultivators at the middle-stage of the Heavenly God Realm were at a totally different level.
Perhaps, if it weren't for this annual contest, which was the Night Clan's first and gained popularity, it wouldn't have been worth it for such an expert in the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm to appear in person.
Even Mu Tao, a peak middle-stage Heavenly God Realm cultivator, was nothing but a waste in this expert's eyes.
There were countless cultivators throughout the Heavenly World who ascended to the middle stages of the Heavenly God Realm. But among them, those who made a breakthrough into the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm were incredibly rare.
The gap between the higher stages of the Heavenly God Realm and the middle stages of the Heavenly God Realm was clearly evident from this.
Nevertheless, none of this mattered to the ongoing contest.

As time passed a little bit, Mu Lingsha, who stood on the river, became more serious.
In her current state, she eliminated ripples at a slower pace than when she began.
She eliminated one ripple under her feet over time.
"1,223 laws."
"1,224 laws."
Mu Lingsha muttered one number after another, and these numbers were the numbers of the ripples she had just eliminated under her feet. Each number represented a law.
These over a thousand numbers represent Mu Lingsha's mastery of more than a thousand laws.
With a crash, after she eliminated 1,250 ripples under her feet, the river reverted to its serene state.
Mu Lingsha raised her head and scanned the surroundings before leaving the place.
Almost simultaneously with Mu Lingsha, Mu Yan and a few others passed the trial, appearing at the foot of a towering mountain.
This was the tallest mountain on this Desolate Planet, with paving stones around its peak. By following it, one could climb the mountain.
It was on this mountain that the contest's second level would be held.
The trial began when one stepped on the mountain's paving stones.
Mu Lingsha and others had to climb to the mountain's top.
On each paving stone, a trace of the Night Clan's secret technique had to be left.
For Night Clan cultivators, such a trial would hardly be a problem.
Mu Lingsha and the others stepped onto a stone path almost without hesitation.
The stones under their feet were purple-blue. But as Mu Lingsha and others stood on these stones and manifested Night Clan's secret techniques, the stones under their feet changed color and became pitch-black.
Moreover, the stone changed color according to each person's secret techniques.
A powerful technique changed the color of several stones. Ordinary techniques, however, could only change the color of one stone.
As direct descendants of the Night Clan, Mu Lingsha, Mu Yan, along with the few who first appeared here, have mastered numerous powerful Night Clan secret techniques.
So, the stones under their feet changed color almost continuously, spreading up the mountaintop.
Mu Lingsha slowed down intentionally this time.
There were at least a dozen Night Clan cultivators present when she reached the peak.
At the moment, Mu Yan, who has always clashed with Mu Lingsha, was clearly in the lead.
Places were arranged in order of arrival.
As Mu Lingsha appeared in the thirteenth place, a few Night Clan cultivators had already begun challenging the cultivators before her.
This was the last round of the annual contest.
One could directly challenge the first place if one wanted to rank high.
Despite ranking last, one could challenge for first place if they were confident enough.
However, the latter had three chances to challenge.
As this was the first annual contest held by the Night Clan, the rules were a bit unclear.
Cultivators from the Night Clan began challenging each other as they appeared at the top of the mountain.
Even Mu Lingsha, who ranked thirteenth, was challenged several times.
With her cultivation base at the middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm, she easily countered these challenges.
As cultivators have gradually used up their challenge chances, the rankings for this annual contest have stabilized.
It was the stunning Mu Yan who took first place.
Mu Yan's provocative gaze swept over Mu Lingsha.
Seeing Mu Yan's gaze at this moment, Mu Lingsha finally stopped hesitating and stepped forward.
