As the conference progressed, more and more cultivators arrived to participate. Apart from those initially drawn by the Sword Domain, most were attracted by the event's reputation.

Dao Xuan Sect, by hosting the conference, had successfully made a name for itself in the Middle Lands. The once-destroyed top sect of the Middle Lands had returned, even stronger than before.

After a month of continuous competitions, the first round was complete, and twenty people had secured spots to enter the Sword Domain. Surprisingly, half of them were surnamed Ye, all from the same cultivation family.

Especially Ye Wu, whose cultivation was mediocre, yet he always managed to achieve unexpected victories in dire situations.
