Having entered the Saint Realm, Jian Shen felt that he didn't really grow too strong and that the only viable benefit he obtained was the increase in his life span.
After all, his strength was already enough to fight against Genesis Realm Cultivators. But obtaining the control over a domain didn't really show him how he could use it to his advantage.
That was when the two swords explained that the benefits of possessing a domain, and that he didn't really need to restrict himself to one domain.
Turns out, that whenever he was in an area like a volcano or a sea of flames, that domain of his could not only protect him from the unneeded heat bur also used to further pressure any of his opponents.
Similarly, if he created two more domains using wind and lightning, being able to perfectly control all three of them and then fuse them together would show truly how useful a domain was.
Being able to restrict your opponents' movement and not give him any chance to fly away, Jian Shen could eliminate every opponent he needed to
And when he had grown even stronger in the future, the size of the domain would not be limited to the same radius it was right now.
This meant a possibly huge enough domain to capable of even covering a city and restrict anyone from leaving without his notice.
Such a thing would be really useful when searching or hunting for any particular individual.
Either way, the current Jian Shen didn't really find possessing a domain much useful because he didn't have enough time to try and create two more domains out of lighting and wind.
It was time to wait for the gates to open and then enter the Sword World.
Thus, he left the World Crest and stayed in the hotel's courtyard to observe the possible changes which would happen with the golden gates.
...
Travelling from all over the Mortal Realm, there was no limit to the number of geniuses that had arrived on the Sword Island.
Being geniuses, there were quite a few things which were common among them.
And the most common things were a high-level cultivation and a peerless arrogance.
Due to this, there was no limit to the number of fights happening around the island every day.
Regardless of the reason, no one actually bothered to stop the fights and instead behaved as spectators who were watching a real-life fight after a very long time.
The reason being none of those who were fighting were idiots and they knew that causing any damage to the buildings would result in the False Immortal Realm Cultivators making a move.
Also, when Jian Shen went on a stroll around the island due to being bored he managed to see more familiar faces than he had originally expected to.
Other than the members of the Thousand Sword Sect and Li Mei, Jian Shen met the disciples of every one of the Five Great Sects including the Great Sect of Lust and even a group of cultivators from the Yueliang Empire.
But, since Li Mei didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to him which was evident due to the constant and deliberate snorting towards him, Jian Shen didn't manage to find out the reason behind this until he came across Yin Fan.
Without the slightest negative emotions towards him leaving so suddenly and without even informing the Sect, Yin Fan properly explained what was happening.
Because the Sword World possessed quite a lot of high-level resources inside it, even those who didn't train on the Path of Sword would try and enter it in hopes of coming back with high-level resources that would help improve their cultivation.
This was why not just the Thousand Sword Sect but the other Sect's also sent their members.
As for how many of them would be able to enter the Sword World, all of it would depend on whether they managed to obtain a spot or not.
After all, there were only 250 spots to enter the Sword World, and the contestants who competed to obtain these spots came from all over the Mortal World.
Similarly, Yin Fan depute not saying it explicitly helped Jian Shen understand why she wasn't much surprised or angry at him leaving so suddenly.
Not to mention how he didn't really use any resources or techniques of the Sect, Yin Fan since learning about the False Immortal Realm expert behind him always expected for this day to arrive.
...
Turns out that there was actually one sign which indicated when the golden gates would actually open.
And that was by the mist around the gates showing signs of dissipating. Since that day, there would be exactly seven days before the golden gates finally opened.
This was also when the competition for the spots to enter the Sword World bad officially started.
It was through these numerous one on one battles that the 250 strongest cultivators under the Genesis Realm were ranked out and allowed to enter the Sword World.
The overseers for this event would be the False Immortal Realm cultivators from all around the Mortal World.
Due to this, the competition was generally accepted as a very equal and fair one with no signs of partiality.
After all, not even the False Immortal Realm cultivators were allowed to recommend any individual to enter the Sword World without taking part in the competition.
