Chapter 2287: Chapter 2307: Battle of the Sects_1

"Sect Expansion."

You Hezi’s voice echoed in Lin Chen’s mind, "For a sect to expand, it needs to spread, develop disciples, and Eastern Brilliance, vast as it is, has many sects like Buddhism, Taoism, Dragon Mountain Sect, and so on. After such a long time, everything that could be vied for, fought over, and developed is pretty much settled; there’s nothing much left to do."

"If there’s nothing much left to do internally, then we look externally; the three territories of Southern Wilderness, Western Hell, and Northern Sea. Although the Northern Sea is a maritime area, it is dotted with countless islands, and while most of its residents are from the Sea Tribe, there are also many from the Human Clan. Compared to the Nether Tribe of Western Hell and the Barbarian Tribe of Southern Wilderness, it’s more suitable for our sect’s expansion."

"Most of the Sea Tribe in the Northern Sea believe in the Sea God Sect, but the Human Clan does not. Therefore, the various major sects of Eastern Brilliance have set their sights on the unclaimed area of the Northern Sea, intending to expand their own sects into the region. However, the Sea God Sect does not allow the Eastern Brilliance sects to enter, and some conflicts have erupted previously."

"The purpose of this visit is to resolve the conflict and decide the direction for future development. A fight is inevitable, yes, and if we win, all will be well; our three sects will gain the qualifications to enter the Northern Sea, and the Sea God Sect will no longer obstruct us. But if we lose, we will give up on the Northern Sea."

Lin Chen blinked, "Is this considered confidential information?"

You Hezi said with a light laugh, "Ordinary people won’t understand, but the senior management essentially knows all about it, so there’s no harm in telling you. After all, you are practically one of us."

Lin Chenxin was shocked, "Then this fight carries significant weight; it must not be simple?"

"It’s alright."

You Hezi said with a light laugh, "Neither side wants to start a full-scale war, so this competition can only be defined as a fight. It will involve the younger generation of disciples from each sect, namely the second-generation disciples of the Great Sects currently."

Lin Chen stared at You Hezi, "Senior brother, will you be going into battle?"

You Hezi shook his head, "It’s not my turn. I am just here to add to the numbers and watch the spectacle."

Lin Chen asked out of curiosity, "So who will be going into battle?"

You Hezi answered, "From Wuling Mountain, Xuanhezi."

Lin Chen asked offhandedly, "Wuling Mountain, one of the three heirs of Dragon Mountain Sect?"

You Hezi nodded affirmatively, "Right, Dragon Cloud Mountain, Wuling Mountain, and Fengxue Mountain are the three most important branches of Dragon Mountain Sect. Although the three powers are independent of each other, they share the same root and are considered one big family."

"Xuanhezi possesses an Innate Dao Body and extraordinary talent. Although he was the last to join the sect, his talent is the best. Most importantly, he has a Phenomenon that can greatly enhance his Combat Power..."

Innate Dao Body!

Well, for a wealthy family like Dragon Mountain Sect, a Power of the Xianmen, recruiting a few genius disciples; isn’t that normal?

The mutual selection and pursuit between wealthy sects and talented disciples.

Lin Chen nodded, "Does each sect send one person to represent them?"

"Yes."

You Hezi replied softly, "Dragon Mountain Sect will be represented by Xuanhezi. Along with a few other Senior brothers, I represent Dragon Cloud Mountain. We will not participate in the contest but will act as witnesses, since regardless of the outcome, there are some matters to attend to afterward, so it is essential for all the Great Sects to have witnesses on the scene and not be represented by others."

"The representative for Buddhism is Wu Jie, this generation’s Buddha’s son, who possesses the Vajra Body without Characteristics, a natural good seedling for Buddhism. There are claims that he is the reincarnation of a Buddhist Great Power, but Buddhism has protected him well, and thus such information cannot be confirmed."

"Daoism’s representative is Xuanqing, holder of the Empty Bright and Pure Spirit Body, who follows the Enlightenment Path. He does not engage in arduous cultivation, focusing instead on comprehending the Dao. A while ago, it was said that in one night of Enlightenment, he leaped from a Golden Immortal to a Da Luo; his current strength remains unknown to all."

Listening to You Hezi’s introduction, Lin Chen praised, "These are geniuses among geniuses indeed!"

You Hezi said with a laugh, "Yes, how could anyone who represents an entire sect in battle be an ordinary, common character?"

Lin Chen inquired with curiosity, "If each of your sects sends one person, how many will the Sea God Sect send, one or three? Does that not mean the power of three sects is being used against a single representative of the Sea God Sect?"

"Yes, of course it counts," said You Hezi.

You Hezi cheerfully explained, "The Sea God Sect will choose three individuals to fight. Precisely because of this, I believe we have a good chance of winning. After all, with three battles, we only need to win two."

"Two victories out of three battles?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That does seem feasible; after all, how many true geniuses can there be?"

You Hezi said with a laugh, "Exactly, everyone is full of confidence about victory; all we’re thinking about now is not to lose. After all, even if someone lost but the overall result was a win, what they would receive would be much less since they would have participated in the end due to others. What right would they have to compete then? Just being allowed to join would be considered fortunate."

Lin Chen nodded understandingly. While it’s a best-of-three competition, the three sects aren’t related like the three children of the Dragon Mountain Sect; they have a competitive relationship. With that premise, what more could one expect?

Lin Chen grew interested in the upcoming battle, "Where will this visit take place, and can outsiders watch?"

You Hezi said with a laugh, "A contest announced to the world is naturally open for viewing. The location is Sea God Island, which is the headquarters of the Sea God Sect. The event is scheduled for the fifteenth of May, a date set in advance for the visit. We’ll adjust our travel plans and arrive at the precise time..."
