It seemed that Chen Jie had made his appearance as invincible even in the wider universe. It was no wonder that the Sword Princess had been a part of the White Palace City inheritance trial.
"I was actually born in the same world as Chen Jie." Zhu Yi said.
The Sword Princess's daughter's eyes lit up. "Do you know more about Chen Jie? I've only heard a bit about him."
"On my world, he created an inheritance under a place called White Palace City."
The Sword Princess's daughter interrupted. "White Palace City? I've heard of that place. It is where Chen Jie lives on the world tree."
So Chen Jie had created another White Palace City off of the world.
"I've always wanted to visit it, but never got the chance."
At this time, Zhu Yi and the Sword Princess's daughter heard a shout. It was calling an unfamiliar name.
"That's me. Gotta go." She said before leaving.
"So she is Lei Cen, daughter of the Sword Princess."
It seemed that Zhu Yi had an opponent he had to look out for.
He returned to his room and practiced the sword for a day. The next day, he returned to the cafeteria and found a new food.
It was known as caviar. Zhu Yi tried it, and once again, it was good. Luckily, he could just eat it whole this time.
He repeated the same thing the next day and over the rest of the week. He never again interacted with the daughter of the Sword Princess.
She was a nice girl, but he wasn't that type of cultivator. Some cultivators spent their entire life dedicated to cultivation, while some pursued things such as love. He was the former.
The competition started again. Zhou Fan stood in the crowd instead of next to Zhu Yi. Otherwise, he would be noticed.
There were 64 people remaining for the 5th round. From here on, only the elites remained. It seemed as if it was rigged to make sure that luck didn't play a factor. All the weak people were gone.
Almost everyone that remained was at the tenth level of the void traversing realm. Only Zhu Yi and a few others weren't.
Zhu Yi was the first to go up. He faced a grown man with a full beard. He used a great sword. As soon as the battle started, the man with the greatsword began to spin around while holding the greatsword out.
Wind Qi gathered around him and quickly formed a tornado. Zhu Yi used the formless sword, but it was canceled out by the tornado of Wind Qi.
The tornado weakened a bit, but clearly grew stronger as the man kept spinning. Zhu Yi didn't waste any more time with the formless sword, even though he knew he could win with it.
The tornado was strong enough to distort space, but Zhu Yi charged forward and slashed down.
Breaking Through All Things.
The tornado was split, and the space within the arena cracked. The man was instantly sent flying without resistance, only surviving due to protection mechanisms.
Although he wasn't in the Space Shattering realm, Zhu Yi could somewhat break space. It wasn't too rare within the universe, but also not at all common.
Nobody went unsurprised.
With that, Zhu Yi won his fight. He still hadn't even used Time Qi.
The next few fights took on average a day each. Only a few like Zhu Yi's were much quicker. The daughter of the Sword Princess, Lei Cen, was one of the few that quickly defeated her opponent. She moved fast and gracefully.
Although the Sword Princess had only been at the Foundation Establishment realm in the inheritance, Zhu Yi still felt as if the Sword Princess's daughter was lacking something in comparison.
Zhu Yi paid more attention to the contestants this round.
It took around 20 days for this round to finish up.
Without another break, Zhu Yi went up to fight again.
Although his previous opponent was good, this opponent was the first real challenge of the tournament for Zhu Yi.
He had quickly dealt with his opponent, similar to Zhu Yi.
He did not use an elemental technique, but pure swordsmanship and sword intent.
Not wanting to reveal any trump cards just yet, Zhu Yi decided to have a good fight.
At the sound of the start, Zhu Yi used the formless sword. Although his opponent could not see or sense a thing, he moved wildly and unpredictably. His movement technique was annoying.
He closed the gap, only getting hit a few times, and slashed horizontally at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi used the Sword Walk movement technique and appeared behind him.
His opponent turned and swung, but Zhu Yi used his opponent's sword as a stepping stone and launched himself into the air.
While flying, he released countless formless swords. Although he had not increased the number of formless swords past 1000, this was a choice. He focused on quality instead of quantity. Each sword was now stronger and harder to detect.
Using a much faster speed than before, Zhu Yi launched 1000 formless swords and sheathed his sword.
Although his opponent moved weirdly, he could not avoid the powerful formless swords. Perhaps if he was a person focused on defense or pure movement speed, he would be able to survive.
However, this was a sword sect competition. Such people were far and few.
HIs opponent instantly received countless cuts as if he was thrown into a blender, but he moved forward.
He was resolute in his actions and strong. Zhu Yi respected him. It was not that his opponent was weak, but that Zhu Yi was too strong. Perhaps this man was able to defeat a Chaos Beast at the same level when he was in the Soul Formation realm.
Just as he thought he was about to finish his opponent, two more swords seemed to appear to the sides of his opponent out of nowhere. They were faint and illusory, like weak holograms.
As his opponent charged forward, two illusory people grabbed the sword and charged with his opponent.
