Regional Tournament

The Regional Tournament is a famous tournament hold in the Eastern Continent.

''It's a tournament hold once every four years at the Holy City, the largest city in the Eastern Continent, where geniuses under the age of 30 from all over the Eastern Continent gather to showcase their talents in a duel against each other. The winner of the tournament will not only receive a handsome reward that's worth a fortune, but they will also get the rare chance to meet the rulers of the Eastern Continent and its Four Great Families - the Xie Dynasty.''

As is first described in Chapter 78

The rules for participation as a sect is to have at least ten people and a maximum of twenty and each should have a cultivation of at least the Profound Spirit Realm. So after the Profound Blossom Sect got attacked and lost almost all of its disciples, only four were qualified, Su Yang, Fang Zhelan, Sun Jingjing and another Inner Court Disciple, with 7 Outer Court Disciples between the 4th and 5th Level of the Elementary Spirit Realm. With the help of Su Yang all managed to get a cultivation of at least True Spirit Realm, so they had eleven qualified members, so more than the required ten.

When Su Yang and the rest of the Profound Blossom Sect set of they most of the disciples participating had a cultivation of of at least True Spirit Realm or even the Earth Spirit Realm. So they head of to the location of the tournament, Snowfall City. It is quite exciting on the way as all the disciples keep cultivating with each other on the way for a week long trip. After a while they also started seeing other sects such as Blood Eagle Manor, Southern Fist Academy and even the Million Snakes Sect, who they are trying to avoid. Before they enter the city they had some trouble getting inside as Wang Shuren tries to help them by used the entry for more prestigious sects, but are not allowed as they have no identification, but are later helped by the Zhong Chao Huang.

After entering the city their first stop is the Snow Crystal Hotel, where they will be staying. Where they have some trouble again as members of the Golden Altar Sect were trying to get their rooms. They do back of, but Su Yang kills a Sect Elder of their sect as his instincts tell him that is a good thing to do to prevent the people close to him from suffering. This leads to some trouble as the Xie Family does not allow killing inside of their city. So Zhong Chao Huang goes to Su Yang to take him to Xie Yimu, Patriarch of the Xie Family, to have talk with him and Su Yang. He also goes to Xie Xingfang to see her once again and notices a problem in the way she cultivated the Thousand Poisons Tempering, which actually causes her, someone immune to most poisons, to be poisoned and nearly dying without Su Yang helping out by giving a list of ingredients needed to create a cure.

When they are going to sign up for the tournament they run into some sects, who are trying to strike a conversation with them as they have a quite a few beauties in their group, such as someone from Nine Nether Sect and Thunder Golem Sect, but when people realize who they are, they started looking at them with disdain. For the registration they have to be tested by a Bone Age Totem, to determine their age, and a Spiritual Totem, to determine their cultivation, which Su Yang fools by showing a lower cultivation as he does not want to show his real cultivation.

Results Profound Blossom Sect:

They also run into Su Yin there, who clings to Su Yang and starts crying, especially after he reveals that he regained his memories. She decides that she wants to spend some time with him, despite the disagreement it might cause with Bai Lihua, her Master and Matriarch of her sect, the Heavenly Swan Sect.

The Junior Disciples also want to attend an auction being held in the city of the Burning Lotus Palace, which also happens to be the largest auction house and it is being hosted by Wang Shuren. Su Yang is also interested as one of the items, the Hellfire Seeds, is something he wants. He has some trouble entering as the elder did not let them and called their invitation letter by Wang Shuren herself fake. Zhang Xiu Ying happens to be there and gets angry at the elder, named Elder Zou. Then Wang Shuren shows lets them in and gives their group, with way more than the allowed 5 people, a great seat and moves some people who are already seated for them. This causes some dissatisfaction with others and Wang Shichong, a cousin Wang Shuren, confronts Su Yang, but is taught a harsh lessen by Su Yang, who killed even dared to kill Wang Ming. This was stopped by Wang Fuzhi, his father and the Wang Family's Patriarch, after Xie Yimu's entrance, who Wang Shichong disrespects during his fight with Su Yang. Thus Xie Yimu, who was actually only there for the Three Seasons Snake's Blood, decides to stay during the auction due to Su Yang. This was also seen by Fu Kuan, the Patriarch of the Million Snakes Sect, who plans to get rid of their sect together with a great elder, named Great Elder Ren. Some items being auctioned are the Purple Poison Bell, the Fiery Fairy Sword, the Shapeless Cauldron, the Ring of Thunder, the Ten Thousand Heavenly Needles Technique. Some people who bid were from the Kang Family, the Ye Family, the Huo Family, Old Man Lai , the Chen Family, the Wu Family, the Dragon Fists Sect and the Gu Family. The last item was given by Su Yang, which is the Earth Advancement Pill.

Su Yang also noticed an irregularity in the disciples of the Million Snakes Sect as they were poisoned by Spirit Conversion Poison that increases strength for a few days sacrificing their cultivation later, but they are defeated by Hong Yu'er, who was possessed by Tang Lingxi. During the third round the Profound Blossom Sect is placed against the Burning Lotus Palace, who lost, and the Azure Cloud Sect against the Heavenly Swan Sect, who lost. After Fang Zhelan shows of her cultivation at the 7th Level Earth Spirit Realm many people ask her out, like the Gu Family, the Wan Family, Han Yifan and Jiang Chen. After Su Yang shows of his cultivation at the Heavenly Spirit Realm many people sought him, like the Jiang Family (Five Major Continents)]] and Chai Jing of the Chai Family.
