Seven Nation Ranking Tournament

The ***Seven Nation Ranking Tournament*** is a tournament held by the Divine Phoenix Empire in Divine Phoenix City. It is a tournament meant for the 10 best geniuses under the age of 25 of the Seven Nations of the Profound Sky Continent to fight and show their superiority. Their victory also signified the strength of the nation.

## History

The tournament occurs once every twenty five years and the tournament that Yun Che participates in is the 39th tournament. This tournament is one of the biggest events in the Profound Sky Continent. In addition to the 10 representatives, each nation can bring a thousand people to accompany them. The emperors of each nation would put down their nation affairs and personally accompany them to view the tournament. Other people not invited would travel to Divine Phoenix City anyway in order to obtain an entry pass to view the tournament and support their own nation's practitioners.

Generally speaking, the Divine Phoenix Empire's strength could dominate the other six together. Five nations in the middle were relatively close to each other in terms of profound strength while Blue Wind Empire's strength was pitifully low. Every tournament, the participants from Blue Wind Empire would suffer crushing defeat and humiliation to the point that the Four Major Sects no longer sent any representatives and it was up to the Blue Wind Imperial Family to send their own people.

The tournament usually had one versus one battles held in a round robin format. Because the tournament coincided with the opening of the Primordial Profound Ark, the schedule and format for the 39th tournament was adjusted.

In order to cut down the tournament schedule and lighten the consumption of every nation’s participating profound practitioners.
