In the overall power structure of the Swordsman, the Dharma Veins actually had their own analysis. They divided the Swordsman of the Sword Alliance into four levels!
The first level, Xuanyuan's Inner Sword! This was the backbone of the Sword Vein, and no one dared to underestimate it! This was not a fantasy, but a glorious history that had existed for tens of thousands of years. This group had never disappointed anyone in every situation that required them, not to mention the existence of this group that once dominated the entire universe!
The second level, Firmament's Inner Sword! They were also Inner Sword orthodoxies, but whether it was history or present, whether it was quality or quantity, there was always an inexplicable gap between them and the Xuanyuan. Was it temperament? Was it confidence? Or was it glory that had existed for tens of thousands of years?
The third level, Weijian Mountain's Outer Sword, was actually not that different from the Firmament's Inner Sword. They were also Outer Swords that truly possessed the temperament of the Swordsman. This was because they were able to go against Supreme before they moved to the Fifth Ring, and went against the Three Pure Ones after they moved to the Fifth Ring. They were still living well after tens of thousands of years.
The fourth level, Xuanyuan's Outer Sword! This was a branch that lived under the wings of the Xuanyuan's Inner Sword. It was the largest, but also the most mediocre! Perhaps they would grow if they were sent out alone? No one could say for sure. They had the largest foundation, the most complete system, and the safest environment, but they could not produce the best talents. They were born in hardship and die in peace.
For Dharma Veins giants like the Three Pure Ones and Supreme, they were not afraid of anyone other than the Xuanyuan's Inner Sword! This was not arrogance, but strength!
In the elite level, their battle record against the Swordsman was not weak at all, even slightly stronger than the Xuanyuan's Inner Sword. This was why they were not afraid of a few Outer Swords.
In fact, they had already gained a huge advantage in this bet, and that was to determine the winner in nine matches!
The biggest difference between the Dharma Vein and the Sword Vein was the difference in numbers!
If the winner was decided in a single match, with the strongest Swordsman going up against the strongest Spellcaster, the Sword Vein would have an eighty percent chance of winning, and the remaining twenty percent would at least be able to perish together!
The Sword Range still had a higher chance of winning in three rounds.
It was hard to say if it would be decided after nine rounds!
One hundred battles to determine victory and defeat, the Sword Range was bound to lose!
This was the foundation of the Law Lineage. That was why they had persisted for nine rounds, and not seven or five. The more people there were, the greater the advantage of the Law Lineage. This was because they had a deeper foundation of talents!
However, the Three Pure Ones wanted to expand their advantage even further. Therefore, they proposed the condition that the participating cultivators must not be experts on the ranking board!
Regarding this problem, the Kun Dao and Li Jie were in a dilemma. They were not troubled by themselves. None of the Kun Dao cultivators were on the ranking board. Firstly, they were not strong, and secondly, they were not in the mood to fight. However, they were worried about the Wei Sword Mountain!
Of course, the Wei Sword Mountain had experts on the ranking board, and there were quite a few of them in the top hundred. This sounded like a restriction on the strength of the Wei Sword Mountain, but in reality, this condition was even more restrictive on the Three Pure Ones!
This was because the number of cultivators from the Three Pure Ones on the Five Rings Foundation Building Ranking was the highest among all the sects in the Five Rings.
The meaning of the Three Pure Ones was very clear. They were not competing on the ranking board, but on the foundation of the sect. They were competing on whose sect had more hidden talents!
This was partly due to the generosity of the Three Pure Ones, but it was also due to their selfishness. After all, they were all in the top hundred of the ranking board. If they really pulled all of them together, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. This was because not everyone on the ranking board had fought against each other before. They were still slightly wary of the Swordsman, even if he was an external sword.
The Kun Dao and Li Jie threw this problem to the Wei Sword Mountain for them to decide. In the end, due to various reasons, the Wei Sword Mountain agreed to the Three Pure Ones' request. All the participating cultivators could not be on the current ranking board. However, they also raised another request.
The arena would be changed to a defending arena system, and not a single battle. The final number of battles would be decided!
The reason for this was because there were individual Swordsman who had the ability to continuously fight. It was not because their mana was deep and could last for a few rounds. No matter how deep their mana was, it would not be as deep as a spell cultivator. The Three Pure Ones' idea was to place their hopes on individual Swordsman's ability to continuously fight for seconds!
The Three Pure Ones were well aware of this. If they were to say that they were second in terms of time, no one would dare to say that they were first. If the setting was suitable, these nine people could last until the end of time!
If the Swordsman thought that he could win in seconds, they would use a method of exhausting their energy. Even if they could not win, they would exhaust their energy until they were unable to fight in the next round!
This was the reality of the cultivation world. Even if it was a gambling fight, countless calculations would be involved before both sides could accept the conditions.
The defending arena! One side had nine people! Whoever won would be the champion until they were defeated. In the end, whichever side's nine people were exhausted would lose!
It was very simple. It provided a bigger stage for the powerful cultivators. It also prevented the awkward situation where one side could be defeated in one round, and the rest would not have the chance to fight.
It was competitive, interesting, and dramatic!
It was said that as soon as such a gambling rule came out, it attracted countless other sects in Erhai. Everyone knew that this seemed to be a matter of Kun Dao Li Boundary, but in fact, it was a competition between two top forces. Everyone suggested to watch the fight. In order to expand their influence, the Three Pure Ones agreed. This was an event that would further strengthen the Three Pure Ones' control in Erhai. They had no reason to reject.
Weijian Mountain felt that they had a chance of winning because they believed in the tradition of Swordsman restraining spell cultivators. Moreover, in Weijian Mountain, there were indeed a few people who had the ability to enter the rankings but kept a low profile. One of them was especially outstanding. His attacks were unusually fierce. The elders in the sect all believed that he had the ability to enter the top 30!
This was already a very impressive evaluation. In fact, the difference between the top 30 and the top 10 was not that obvious. They proposed the defending arena system to prepare for this person. They hoped that he could fight against a group of people. However, the order of battle had to be carefully arranged.
The Three Pure Ones were also laughing in their hearts! If they wanted to find someone who could enter the rankings, they could immediately find a hundred of them! Of course, they still had to be carefully selected. The Three Pure Ones also set the standard for the strength of their disciples to be in the top 100. Among the nine disciples, except for the so-called indigenous man, all of them were strong. At least three of them had the strength to be in the top 30. This was not arrogance, but the result of competing with the disciples of the Three Pure Ones who were already in the top 30 was based on cultivation.
Originally, this was only a small matter that involved Kun Dao. There were many sects like Kun Dao in Erhai. However, after years of wrangling between the two sides, the Three Pure Ones finally could not hide anymore. They started to fight. Weijian Mountain also did not hide. They opposed each other. From a small matter, it became a big matter!
If Weijian Mountain failed, the reputation of the Sword Vein would be damaged. When it was their turn to face such a situation in the future, how could they make a comeback?
The Three Pure Ones had also forced themselves into a dead end. The situation was developing uncontrollably. If they failed this time, there would be no need to mention the integration of the tribes or the connection of their hearts. It would be a joke if they did not mention it!
