It had been a year since Chen Jiuge agreed to Ao Mei's banquet.
Throughout that year, Ao Mei had pulled strings left and right, finally gathering five people for the team. Ao Chun, in particular, made significant contributions, though his eyes filled with sorrow every time he looked at the soccer team.
The rules for the Heavenly Realm's soccer competition were simple: six players per team, with no substitutes. During matches, participants could only use their physical strength and Physical Body Divine Powers. Considering that not all sects possessed strong Body Refiners, players were permitted to use Spiritual Energy solely to strengthen their bodies; this was not considered a violation. Furthermore, participants' cultivation was restricted to the True Immortal level; those above or below could not participate. Additionally, Spiritual Beasts were prohibited from reverting to their true forms.
