Nine Heavens Sword Academy Main Academy.
With the Main Academy tournament officially underway, the entire Dao Academy was bustling beyond measure.
Quite a few cultivators from Qingyang Immortal City had come to watch.
After all, this tournament involved not only Dao Academy disciples, but also Dao Academy instructors.
Nascent Soul-level cultivators.
That was an exceedingly rare sight.
After all, aside from the Pioneering Domain, Qingyang Immortal City was basically a safe region.
Even Beast Tides or evil cultivators generally did not reach Qingyang Immortal City.
It was almost impossible to witness Nascent Soul cultivators fighting.
Early that morning, Dean Gong brought Zhou Ling and the others to the tournament plaza.
They were then assigned to their resting area to await the tournament.
They had been placed in the first batch of matches.
The disciples' matches and the instructors' matches would be held simultaneously, merely on different fighting platforms.
As disciples from other Dao Academies continued to arrive, Zhou Ling also saw the instructors and disciples from those academies.
They were all exceptionally talented people from throughout the Qingyang Immortal Domain.
After all, within the cultivation world of the entire Qingyang Immortal Domain, Qingyang Immortal City was only a Fourth-Grade Immortal City.
It could only be considered a mid-tier force.
Yet because of Zhou Ling, this Foundation Establishment instructor, the other Dao Academies had instead taken notice.
After all, the quotas for instructors and disciples participating in Dao Academy tournaments were generally registered.
Beyond learning that he was a Foundation Establishment disciple, they also learned that Zhou Ling was the Steward of the Heavenly Crafts Division.
Of course, Steward merely meant that his Artifact Crafting ability was formidable.
But this was a practical combat tournament, so the situation was completely different.
Before long, the enormous plaza built from piled white jade.
