After that, it's the Array Competition.
Fewer people attend the Array Competition.
In the Dao Discussion Conference, among the four categories of Tao Cultivation—Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Runic Magic, and Formation—Formation is the climax, scheduled last.
But the disciples, having watched the first three, have mostly lost interest.
Besides, next up is the Sword Discussion Conference.
Most disciples' expectations are placed on the Sword Discussion Conference, a competition bustling with contestants from the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, Twelve Streams, and Qianxue Hundred Gates, all vying for supremacy.
Thus, they naturally don't care much about the Array Competition.
Moreover, among the various Tao Cultivation categories, although Formation is prestigious, it's also relatively the most tedious and the most boring to watch.
Alchemy begins with lighting a furnace, and the flames rise.
Artifact Refining swings a heavy hammer, sparking brilliantly.
