East Sword Pavilion

## Info

The East Sword Pavilion was the strongest sect in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles. Even the royal family of the Lingfeng Kingdom was just an ant in front of the East Sword Pavilion that could be easily destroyed.

It was a colossus that surpassed the royal family of the Lingfeng Kingdom. It was no wonder that Shen Gaoyuan had such a reaction after seeing this token.

It was no exaggeration to say that the East Sword Pavilion was the true ruler of the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles. Its influence spread across the Ten Great Empires, and the Lingfeng Kingdom was just one of them.

Its influence was enormous. Moreover, the East Sword Pavilion had extremely strict requirements for selecting disciples. Every one of those who could enter the East Sword Pavilion was a one-in-a-million genius. If they were placed in the Jue Mountain Sect, they could become a top disciple of the sect. From this, it could be seen how strong Xiao Chen's talent was that he could be chosen by the East Sword Pavilion.

## Division of Forces

There were a total of nine Sword Academies in the Eastern Sword Pavilion's Outer Sect. Every Outer Sect Disciple had to choose a Sword Academy from among them. Of course, it wasn't just a one-sided choice. When choosing a Sword Academy, it also depended on whether the Sword Academy's Head Elder liked you or not. If he didn't like you, then you naturally wouldn't be able to become an Outer Sect Disciple.

There were strong and weak Sword Academies. The weak Sword Academies had lower requirements, and of course, the cultivation environment was obviously worse. The strong Sword Academies naturally had higher requirements, but the cultivation environment was the best.

Therefore, when choosing a Sword Academy after becoming an Outer Sect Disciple, it depended on the individual's choice. One shouldn't choose the strongest Sword Academy even though they clearly didn't have any talent. If they were rejected by the Sword Academy, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. They had to know their place and not bite off more than they could chew. This was one of the goals of the Eastern Sword Pavilion's higher-ups.

The Nine Sword Academies were ranked according to their strength. The First Academy was the strongest and had the best cultivation environment. Therefore, almost all the Outer Sect Disciples wanted to enter the First Academy to cultivate. However, the First Academy had always only accepted elites. In the Eastern Sword Pavilion, where geniuses gathered, the disciples of the First Academy were the geniuses of the geniuses. The difficulty of entering the First Academy was much higher than that of the other Sword Academies.

If one didn't have the best talent, it was best not to choose the First Academy. This was a popular saying among the Outer Sect Disciples because it was a waste of time. Every time the Outer Sect Ceremony began, the First Academy would recruit the fewest disciples. Sometimes, it wouldn't even recruit a single person. It was better to have nothing than to have something substandard. This was the requirement of the First Academy

## Trivia

\* Xiao Chen learned from Chen Ling 'er that there were 160 disciples in the entire First Academy. If Xiao Chen could pass the examination, he would become the 161st disciple.
