Extreme Yin Bout

A annual contest every between Maidens of Extreme Yin belonging to the Six Sacred Grounds, to determine who will wield the Extreme Yin Crown for the following period of time. It began several years before the story, when the Extreme Yin Crown suddenly appeared, likely first found by the Sacred Sun Clan.

The Eight Extremities World's Extreme Yin Bout discontinued with the Radiant Sun Clan bringing Maiden of Extreme Yin Meng Wan and the Extreme Yin Crown to the World Beyond Worlds before the eradication of the Sacred Sun Clan.

The Sacred Sun Clan was the first Sacred Ground to have discovered the method with which to control the Extreme Yin Crown. At the same time, it had also been the first to begin searching for and gathering Maidens of Extreme Yin. At first, the Sacred Sun Clan stringently sealed all news regarding this matter, prioritising keeping it a secret. Even the other clans of the Sacred Grounds were unable to gather any specifics regarding the Sacred Sun Clan's Maidens of Extreme Yin.

## Extreme Yin Crown

A High-Grade Sacred Artifact originally belonging to the Exalted Lunar Luminary, Ling Qing. She left it in the Eight Extremities World at some point after the Exalted Solar Luminary, Gao Han, left the Extreme Yang Seal sealing the Nine Underworlds. It is a powerful artifact, only able to be wielded by people with the Extreme Yin Physique.

## Bout History

*c. 37,* Just a few years ago before the Story, an extremely powerful Sacred Artifact suddenly appeared within the Eight Extremities World. This artifact was known as the Extreme Yin Crown. While its source was unknown, its power was high-grade; within the Eight Extremities World of after the Great Calamity, it was the strongest of its grade of artifact that had ever appeared. However, this Sacred Artifact was rather weird, in that even if one were a Martial Saint, he or she might be unable to preside over and activate even the tiniest bit of its power. It was only maidens of the Extreme Yin Physique, who, after entering the Martial Scholar realm, could activate a limited amount of the power stored within.

However, this Extreme Yin Crown was really too powerful. Even when activated by a Maiden of Extreme Yin of the Martial Scholar realm, it could already exert the power of a typical Sacred Artifact, even if it were only for a short period of time. After having discovered the crucial secret behind this, the Eight Extremities World was instantly thrown into a frenzy, as the various Sacred Grounds all began going around searching for young Maidens of Extreme Yin to bring back as disciples.

It was only that Maidens of Extreme Yin were rare from the start. Furthermore, they could only choose those who were of an appropriate age to begin cultivating in the martial dao? Still, with the huge population of the Eight Extremities World, they still did manage to find a few candidates, who were respectively absorbed into the different Sacred Grounds.

The Extreme Yin Crown was just too powerful. If a female martial practitioner in the Martial Scholar realm could already wield such a massive amount of power with it, if one of them, as a Maiden of Extreme Yin, managed to reach the Martial Grandmaster realm, the results would be totally unimaginable. Whichever of the major powers managed to gain sole control over the Extreme Yin Crown, the other Sacred Grounds would find it hard to accept.

Still, having an extremely great restrictive effect on the longtime enemies of the Eight Extremities World, the Flame Devil race, the power of the Extreme Yin Crown was something that the Eight Extremities World had great need of.

Thus, after discussing the issue, the various Sacred Grounds decided that every once in a while, they would organise an ‘Extreme Yin Bout’, where all the Maidens of Extreme Yin would compete, the winner being granted the right to the Extreme Yin Crown for the following period of time.

At the present moment, a Maiden of Extreme Yin of the Martial Grandmaster realm had not yet emerged. Thus, the Extreme Yin Bout was something that all the powers could accept, and go along with peacefully. The various Sacred Grounds were all putting in a lot of effort in cultivating their Maiden of Extreme Yin.
