Chapter 194 Going to the Stronger Territories of the Sword Sect 8 (1/2)

So the days went by and who would go to the tournament was chosen, because of the promises of Zhang Yi and the sect the disciples of the soul-birth realm were the most vying to participate in the tournament.

After all, it was much easier to become the second of the sect than the first of the tournament, they just had to be better than the other disciples of the same sect, Du Chen and Li Tang didn't even want to participate in the tournament because they knew they couldn't.

They still did some missions with Zhang Yi when they needed it, but now that they knew of Zhang Yi's royal strength they were even ashamed to be proud to help him during sectional missions when they were in the weaker territories.

Also, because they were friends of Zhang Yi who was a recognized genius they had the respect of the other disciples who didn't want problems with Zhang Yi who were almost all in the sect.

On the day of the tournament elder Lu and Elder Shen Zhi who went to the fetching sect, Zhang Yi were part of the group of elders who would go to the tournament, besides them the 8 strongest elders in the void realm would go to that tournament.

Normally the tournament had no problem and it was not necessary to send the strongest elders from the sect, but these elders were only going because the sect cared about Zhang Yi, so it was best to prevent sending the strongest elders from the void realm.

With these elders going to be 20 disciples, 10 of the soul-refinement realm and 9 of the soul-birth realm in addition to Zhang Yi, the elders hoped to easily win the discourse of the soul-birth realm and perhaps also win the disciple tournament of the realm of soul refinement.

Zhang Yi was perhaps the calmest in the group that would go to this tournament, he did not care about the prize nor expected much difficulty in the fights, he was just going because he wanted to help the sect.

With elder Lu in the group, they moved quickly to where the tournament would be held, it would be on an island that was near the territory of the largest sects in that territory, of the 10 strongest sects of the divine plane only Sword Sect was in that territory.

The divine plane had a very large total territory and so beyond the central territories of the divine plane where the spiritual energy was stronger, the sects were usually separated to have more control over the territories.

Yet in this territory there were two other sects that were only slightly weaker than the 10 strongest sects, so even if Sword Sect was the strongest in that territory, it still could not do what it wanted.

However, one of those two sects that were slightly weaker than the 10 major sects was a Sword Sect ally, so the elders could guarantee that Zhang Yi would be safer in this sect territory.

Sword Sect was one of the first to arrive and soon set up camp on the island, and soon after the weaker sects that usually arrived earlier were surprised to see that Sword Sect had already arrived.

Even so, they came to greet the Sword Sect elders because they had respect for one of the divine plane's strongest and fairest sects, they spoke only to two of the sect's elders and thought that those elders were the only ones who came or at least the group leaders.
