Multiple Domain Expansion Realm Cultivators were speeding towards the place the beam descended, even though they were still hundreds of kilometers away from each other this didn't stop them from clashing using their Domains. The Snow covering the Ice melted instantly all the way down to the Ice wherever the Domains touched. The sky rumbled from their power and all the Qi within their Domains moved. Finally, one of them reached the Crater and all the other ones focused their Power on him, his Domain was suppressed, and he got catapulted a few hundred kilometers away. Then all seven Cultivators stopped. They talked to each other using their Domains, threats were made, alliances forged. Suddenly they also stopped this as they heard the Territory Lords Voice inside their head. "You shall not fight! Let this heavenly event be a competition between the Sects younger generations!" They could not deny the command. This Lord was after all two whole Realms above them! Even their Sects Leaders where only at the Peak of the Domain Expansion Realm!

The next day multiple Elders at the Realm below Domain Expansion brought the Sects disciples using flying ships. The Domain Expansion Realm Experts told their respective Sects Disciples about the Nature of the Red mist covering the crater and instructed them to move in groups, which made sense as normal mortals had to fight in armies as one single mortal could do nothing against an army.

Then the disciples entered the Red mist on the search for treasures. All of them hoped fate had chosen them. There were also some that did not want the treasures the most, they wanted to kill their rivals while they were only mortals! And then there where those that wanted to steal the treasures others collected.

Hours passed and Changmao was studying the Spirit Stone Root within his Ring. It was something special as the only thing it needed was time to make Spirit Stones of high Grade. And with the right methods one could even use the generated Spirit Stones to evolve the Root to make it generate even more Spirit Stones! This information was something he stole out of the secret library of his Sect. It did however not have instructions on how to evolve the Root, this was a secret even his Sect had not known.

Then to his shock he noticed how someone took the Ring! A Scanning force entered the Ring! Changmao instantly used his Qi to hide his own Ring and a few seconds later the force left. Luckily, he had used one of the Stolen Rings outside and then entered his own within this stolen one, otherwise he would have been found! He waited five minutes and then slowly send some strands of Qi up. Some arrogant looking boy had taken the Ring!

'What an annoyance!' then Changmao saw that there were also other arrogant (Word wanted to make this to "agog ant" xD) looking boys moving around 'Should have known that the Sects send their disciples here! And there are probably also some Domain Expansion Experts outside that will notice it instantly if someone unknown leaves the Red mist.' He sights, 'Then I'll just wait until this boy returns to his Sect and goes on a quest. Then I should be able to escape without any Domain Expansion Cultivator noticing it.' Changmao then continued studying the Spirit Stone Root while keeping an eye on the boy.

The boy moved around and randomly pushed his hand into the Snow. Most of the time his hand would grasp nothing but sometimes he would pull out some high-Grade Spirit Stones. Whenever the boy saw others he would rush away and hide. Then the boy saw a Sword that led out a sharp Aura. He rushed towards it and just when he was about to touch it, he heard a loud voice "Wang Lei, give me this sword!" the boy named Wang Lei turned around and saw his rival and four others. "I found it! It's mine!" "Get him!" the rival shouted and the four ran towards Wang Lei who stored the sword, turned around and ran up the Crater, he was not that far from the edge of the Red mist in case someone tried to kill him so that he could escape fast.

Changmao was amused seeing this, an arrogant young master's underling chasing someone weak. It reminded him of himself when he just entered a Sect. As he pitied the boy a bit, he took some sharp stones and let them drop out of the Spatial Ring onto the Ground. The boy did not see it as he was preoccupied with escaping. "AH!" one of the pursuers screamed, he had stepped right into the sharp edge of a stone. Moments later the next one did "AH!". Changmao chuckled, it was funny. The other two slowed down seeing this and looked out for stones.

This was what the boy needed, and he exited the Red mist. Instantly his Sects Domain Expansion Cultivator covered him in a Shield of Qi and transported the boy to the others that had already returned. An Elder approached and asked Wang Lei what he had found. Proudly he showed the Sword, the Spirit Stones as well as the Ring. The Elder studied the sword for a moment and then exclaimed, "Oh, this Sword is truly a treasure! If supplied with enough Qi it can cut through anything! Even Karmic connections! What a pity that only the one who touched it first can unleased its full potential…" Hearing this everyone became envois of Wang Lei even the Domain Expansion Realm Cultivator looked at the Sword, he had already found out its function and was sure this boy would become a strong pillar of his Sect.

Then the Elder continued "...as for the Spirit Stones, they are also of high Grade! You can exchange them for contribution points. And then there is this Spatial Ring… hm… its empty and only has such a small Volume. Wang Lei you already have one, so I don't think you need another one." "Hm, yes… then I'll exchange it right now for contribution points." The Elder nodded and took the Ring.

Shi Changmao was panicking 'What is this! Why does the boy give it away!' 'Calm down Changmao, calm down…' he thought to himself 'This Elder will probably give it some new Disciple in the Sect, and when this new one is on a quest, I can go away…' Little did he know he just jinxed it…

Time flew by and slowly all the disciples returned for the crater. After all, had entered the flying Ships they set sails and flew back to the Sects. Many disciples had gained at least something, but Treasures like the Sword Wang Lei found were very rare. Changmao was still studying the Spirit Stone Root while hoping this situation would end soon.

The next day the flying Ship reached the Sect, and all left it. The elder as well as some disciples began sorting the loot the disciples exchanged. The Ring in which Changmao was, was sorted into the stash that would be put into the Treasury for storage.

When Changmao heard the elder guiding the disciples to the Sect Treasury he seriously considered just jumping outside and trying to run away, but then he remembered that most larger Sects had 1. Multiple Domain Expansion Realm Cultivators that monitored the Sect for intruders, and 2. There were formations that only allowed entry and exit at specific locations unless you punch your way through them. Trying to escape at this point was suicide.

The Ring got thrown into the Treasury along with countless other things. The Elder reported to the Sect Leader and he activated the Domain Expansion Realm Sealing Formation that defended the Treasury. Changmao was trapped within his Ring. (I begin my journey cultivating the Dao of CLIFF xD)
