A great miracle took place over the next week. At first, those that registered for the marriage-seeking event were merely those with too much money and time on their hands. The number of registered grew by tens and hundreds per day but there was a limit. These people were those that loved to spend money and loved beautiful women even more.
None of those registered included the true princes and scions of the greatest powers who looked down on the event with scorn and disinterest. They were all interested in Long Yifei, this fact was undeniable. As a woman, her beauty, demeanor, and allure were second to none in the entire subcontinent. However, the nature of the competition for her hand in marriage was too crass, too low-class. It was something only a peasant immortal from the frontier could think of.
What Immortal Blue Dragon? They all ridiculed Chen Wentian’s event as a way to earn some money and sell out his disciple. These young princes and young masters refused to take part in something that was beneath them. Competing against a horde of rabble tread on their dignity as future leaders of the four great factions. Even Long Yifei could not move their pride because they saw the whole event as a farce.
Thus, the whole capital was thrown into chaos at the news that young master Ming He of the Eastern Light Clan had joined the event. It was a wholly unexpected event among the upper echelon, one that defied their collective common sense and caused massive consternation.
Ming He wasn’t some scrub, he was a true talent and recognized by both his peers as well as his elders. He had a better chance than most of reaching the Spirit King Realm and taking over as clan head of the Eastern Light Clan. He wasn’t a wastrel; he was someone who did everything with a purpose and his purpose was to obtain Long Yifei!
If that wasn’t enough, a day later, something else shocked the capital. Young house master Tian Yunhao of the House of Armament had joined in on the festivities as well!
This Tian Yunhao was equal in talent and potential to Ming He. His reputation and fame did not lose out either. He was around the same age as Ming He and both had been life-long rivals. Nobody knew why he had entered the marriage-seeking event but there was plenty of speculation.
The simplest explanation was the sense of competition. Since Ming He openly declared that he wanted Long Yifei, Tian Yunhao could no longer sit still. He could not lose to Ming He in anything and he naturally could not lose out on the most beautiful maiden of the subcontinent. Tian Yunhao had to interfere because it if was solely Ming He, the young master of the Eastern Light Clan would have easily out-shone the entire field and steamrolled the competition.
After two explosive pieces of news, a third soon followed. A third Spirit King faction, The Duchy of Gold Mountain, joined in the competition as well!
Huang Kaifeng, a direct descendant and personal disciple of Immortal Solemn Duke Huang Wuji, declared his intent to win Long Yifei’s heart to the cultivation world. It was a direct challenge to Ming He and Tiang Yunhao as all three were peers and ardent rivals. These three sent the capital into a boil with their challenges to each other but other geniuses and talents refused to let them hog the limelight.
Within each major clan, other geniuses jumped up in defiance. If these three princes dared to compete, then so did they. The capital blazed with youth and passion. Within a short time, it seemed that almost every candidate of some fame and renown had signed up for the event.
The number of registered hopefuls exceeded a thousand the first week and five thousand by the second week. Things only got more chaotic. News traveled like wildfire across the provinces and brought in men from far and wide. The biggest group among these came from a certain beast-loving sect to the east…

He Xingping, Chen Wentian’s spy among the Beast God Sanctum, emerged from the teleportation array to the familiar sight of Ember Cliffs and the Canyonland District. He had never visited this city or district in the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis but he already knew everything.
In front and behind him were other members of the lion faction as well as the eagle faction. They were currently at peace and were nominally cooperating for the upcoming event. Almost everyone was below fifty years of age and was at the peak of the Spirit Initiate Realm. They numbered over two hundred and they were all candidates to the marriage-seeking event! They were all here for Long Yifei!
The craze of the marriage-seeking event was irresistible, even to the Beast God Sanctum. As a true Spirit King sect, they were direct competitors to the four Spirit Kings of the capital. They all knew of Long Yifei and could stand the scenario of seeing her marry a member of their rival sects. They believed that if she had to marry someone, it absolutely had to be a disciple of Beast God Sanctum.
Thus, over two hundred disciples answered the call and joined the event. Their registration fees were directly paid by the Lion Lord and the Eagle Lord. It was a large chunk of money but nothing unaffordable to a super sect.

Immortal Tempest Badger Qiu Chuyi at the front pulled a stack of registration papers and counted them quickly.
“Gu Lan, I will head to the Sky District to register us. There’s still half a day remaining until the deadline so I will make it with plenty of time to spare.”
Immortal Sky Monkey Gu Lan snorted, “Some of your people sure took their sweet time getting ready. They still have two weeks to wait until the event, useless!”
Qiu Chuyi frowned, “Fine, fine, whatever you say. Just arrange for a flying boat and find lodging near the Lotus Spire.”
“I know.”
“Good.”
Qiu Chuyi flew off towards the west and Gu Lan rounded up the Beast God Sanctum disciples and headed down a street.
He Xingping didn’t say anything and stayed towards the rear. He observed the procession around him with a slight smile. He was too old to participate in the event but he was here as an assistant to Qiu Chuyi. Emotions were high. They were filled with desire and hope. A small disagreement could easily erupt into a desperate brawl as men competed for dominance. As an executive elder, he was in charge of keeping the younger men in line so that conflicts did not arise between themselves.
This suited He Xingping just fine as it gave him the perfect opportunity to assist in the plan to rescue Long Yifei!
