This prize for Zhang Yi was certainly more valuable than the pills, it was a pity that he could only participate in the soul-birth realm disciple tournament, otherwise, he could win 1 million high-level spirit stones.
Zhang Yi had hundreds of millions of high-end spirit stones, but in those nearly 12 years of divine plane cultivation with time in the distorted timeline, he used millions of spiritual stones with his wives.
Zhang Yi knew it was difficult to get high-level spiritual stones from the divine plane and he could live tens of thousands of years to reach the divine realm, so those spiritual stones he had might not be enough for him and his wives to use.
Of course, after Zhang Yi reached the realm of emptiness he could have the strength to get millions of high-end spirit stones if he refined pills to auction he would have no problem with spirit stones in all his cultivation time.
But Zhang Yi was always a cautious person who feared for problems that could happen and what really happened to him in recent years, so a reserve of spiritual stones for him that had the world of mental energy was ideal.
Once everything was decided the sects began to decide what the tournament format would look like, they had almost 200 disciples in each category, so the 3 strongest sects were allowed to pick 4 disciples who would not need to participate in the first phase of elimination.
These 12 disciples plus each of the other sects would form 32 disciples that would automatically be in the 64 strongest, the other 32 disciples would be chosen in the playoffs, it would seem to be a great advantage for the stronger sects, but in fact it was 12 disciples who surely they would be in this phase.
Zhang Yi was chosen with one of these disciples to the surprise of the other sects, only a few elders and disciples of Western Sea Sect knew why Zhang Yi was one of the chosen disciples, but they dared not challenge Sword Sect in this territory.
Zhang Yi didn't mind fighting from the start or starting fighting later, but Sword Sect wanted everyone to be surprised by Zhang Yi later during the tournament when he won.
Soon the fighting began between the disciples, the level of the disciples was very similar in the struggles even between the strongest and the weakest sects, the difference was widening between the martial techniques used in the struggles and the understanding of the disciples' laws.
It often happened that minor sects would have a great disciple in the soul birth realm and end up winning this tournament if anyone had an advanced understanding of any law or more than one it was almost certain that that disciple would win.
Even though almost all of the disciples were at levels 7, 8 or 9 in the soul birth realm, that's why Zhang Yi who was level 1 was a surprise to everyone, everyone already wondered how Zhang Yi could be a genius to challenge warriors 8 levels stronger than him.
After a few hours, many fights had taken place, up to 10 fights could happen simultaneously and yet some fights took several minutes while others ended in less than a minute.
The Sword Sect disciples were sitting talking with the Mount Fei Sect disciples about the struggles and other things, the two sects usually always had very close relations between the elders and the disciples as well.
This time the elders of the two sects weren't talking much, that's because all Sword Sect elders were the strongest elders who normally had no contact with Mount Fei Sect elders, because of the friendship between the sects only the Mount Fei Sect elders knew that these 10 strong elders came from Sword Sect this time.
Even at Mount Fei Sect only 6 elders came and the other sects were the same, so even the Mount Fei Sect elders didn't know why that happened, nor did Zhang Yi talk to the Mount Fei Sect disciples or the disciples of the Sword Sect.
He was new to the sect and the special status he had in the sect made him somewhat isolated from the normal disciples, at first Zhang Yi didn't even care about the fight and just cultivated, but soon he began to observe the situation on the spot of the tournament.
This was because he encountered some weaker disciples who seemed to belong to the soul-eater organization he met shortly after entering the divine plane, these disciples and sects belonged to smaller sects, and even some elders appeared to be from that organization.
In the years Zhang Yi spent on the divine plane he learned that this organization was a problem for all but the most certain sects like Sword Sect and Justice Sect, as Zhang Yi has read the soul of two of these members of this organization he could know who belonged to this organization.
In addition to using a taboo soul-devouring technique to cultivate and strengthen this organization, it sought chaos and sect warfare on the divine plane, proving that Cherry Sect and Golden Wolf Sect who had elders infiltrating this sect ended up suffering heavy Justice Sect retaliations and today were not even present at this tournament.
So Zhang Yi didn't know if anything would happen in this tournament or if the members of this organization were just competing normally today before long Zhang Yi had the answer he was looking for when a disciple belonging to this organization killed his opponent during the tournament fight.
Even if deaths were allowed in this tournament the sect that had the disciple dead was furious to see this happening, so both sects were now in bad relations because of the actions of one member of that organization.
This happened other times during the tournament and Zhang Yi realized that this organization wanted confusion today, fortunately, none of the sect's disciples infiltrated the sects had the strength to kill anyone from Sword Sect, so Zhang Yi just watched without getting involved.
By the end of the day, the fights were not over yet and many fights were still missing so that the 32 best disciples of this round could go to the next phase and at this stage that Zhang Yi could fight.
Zhang Yi went to the tent at the camp where Elder Lu was because he wanted to say something important to her, not even the elders usually came to her tent to disturb, only Zhang Yi had the courage.
"Zhang Yi? Has something happened for you to come looking for me?"
"Yes, elder Lu, I wanted to tell you about something that happened before and may happen again, it's important."
"You can tell me then."
Zhang Yi could only talk about this subject to elder Lu because she promised not to tell any of Zhang Yi's secrets to other people, so Zhang Yi came to trust Elder Lu more.
