Discussions regarding the competition were everywhere.
Even though the City was big, it was unable to provide lodgings for so many people at once. Therefore, all of the traveler inns, taverns, and restaurants were fully booked many days ago as they all had a sign showing full outside. Luckily he didn't need to stay the night and had the lightning dash skill to rush back to River town when he finishes his business here.
A lot of people rushed to City Square in order to find a good spot for the upcoming show.
"Human, follow them, the more we wait, the more humans fill these streets"
Hearing Gaya, he followed behind the crowd and eventually arrived at City Square.
"This square is really too big, It covers more than a dozen square miles"
Micheal was really surprised. This was the biggest square he had ever seen as it was more than ten to fifteen miles in circumference. This square made the earth's biggest football stadium look like a small tennis court.
This was beyond his imagination since this world looked medieval and didn't have any technologies.
In the middle of this open stadium called simply square by the people here, there was a fighting stage, and besides the stage, there were stairs so tall that they almost reached the clouds. In addition, there were stairs leading to platforms that were built in order to allow certain people to watch the fights more clearly.
"Heaven's Gate Square was built by the combined efforts of his many kings and the big sects for the sole purpose of the competition. Would it work if it was small?"
"Leave him be, he seems new to the city, what a yokel"
"Hehehe"
Gaya burst into laughter hearing some despiteful words coming around them. But Micheal just ignored them and kept looking around the square in wonder since this square was really the biggest stadium he had ever seen.
While looking at the stadium, he also concentrated on the conversations around him to get more intel.
"Do you know the heaven's gate stairway also called the Stairway to God?
It's said that every step is difficult, as difficult as reaching the heavens. Imagine how difficult it is to climb to the top"
"Top? No one has ever reached the last step, my teacher said the highest record was achieved by a mysterious young woman who reached the seventieth step"
"Holy shit, she must have been so powerful to reach so high while enduring the pressure created by Core formation cultivators"
Many people were discussing about the competition and how hard it would be. There were a lot of youngsters participating in the competition, and this Stairway was only the first round. Those who performed outstandingly would have a chance to enter the second round of the competition.
Some people described the competition as a Survival of the fittest - only those with strength would be able to survive.
"I heard that people who aren't a part of the sects can also participate in the competition"
" There was once this girl who wasn't a part of any of the four big sects participated and created a new record. Many sects wanted to take her as their disciples but the girl disappeared before the second round"
"It seems like a rare scenario! The requirements set by the big sects are incredibly high. Those who want to participate in the competition cannot be more than 29 years old, and they must be at the Body refining stage, a normal person can't reach that stage before the age of 39 let alone 29. And to become a disciple of one of the big sects, you would need to at least become one of the top 40"
"If the disciples of the big sects arent competing, many youngsters from powerful families would even become one of the top 20, since it's not the case, they should aim for the range between 20 to 40. To become the top twenty without any background, then they must be a genius but such geniuses would have become a disciple of one of the big sects long before this"
He understood the competition really well after hearing these conversations and just like Gaya said, people who weren't disciples of the big sects could participate as well, however getting good results would be incredibly hard because all the geniuses in the kingdom had already become the disciples of one of the big sects.
"Now where can I find the Sunrise Sect?"
"They should be near the stage on the other side of the square, human, go before the competition starts"

"But what, elder Mark?"
