In those two years, Zhang Yi has done many difficult missions and so has earned respect from the elders and the other disciples and with the warnings given about him from the elders no one tried to cause any trouble for Zhang Yi.Even the leading disciples who were in the void realm treated Zhang Yi as someone on the same level as them because Zhang Yi was under 40 and they knew that Zhang Yi was much more talented than them.
Not to mention that many already knew that Zhang Yi had the strength of the soul refinement realm at the peak even though he was in the soul birth realm on the first level, it showed that he was actually almost on the same level as them.
In those years Zhang Yi"s wives also had a breakthrough in their cultivation, Lusserina and Saphielle reached the advanced layer of the fourth level of the mortal tribulation realm, the twins were also in the advanced layer of the fourth level of the mortal tribulation realm.
They still had a slower cultivation advance because their cultivation techniques were worse than Zhang Yi"s and talent between them was not the same, in fact as Zhang Yi did the double cultivation that their cultivation advance it was bigger than cultivated alone.
Even though they couldn"t waste time and so cultivated even when alone with these techniques, Zhang Yi couldn"t just take Sword Sect"s cultivation techniques for his wives for the same reason that he couldn"t just pa.s.s the techniques that the masters of him pa.s.sed to him.
Zhang Yi had to be careful now and could not just steal the cultivation techniques of the other sects, because he had a sect to represent now and did not want to cause problems for Sword Sect who helped him so much in those years.
Another thing that Zhang Yi was not very sad about in those two years is that his masters had not appeared in all this time, he had been on the divine plane for well over 3 years now and coming to this stronger Sword Sect territory was closer of the territories where the strongest sects were.
Zhang Yi also had a lot of confidence from the Sword Sect masters and so got a map of almost the entire divine plane where they had Sword Sect territories, and he realized that even the most distant places would not take him 3 years to arrive.
Zhang Yi was sure that his masters had an equal or greater understanding of the laws of s.p.a.ce than he did because he realized that only in the emptiness realm with a supreme understanding of the laws of s.p.a.ce could he go to earth as his masters did.
And if he did that he was in danger of dying on the trip, so he imagined that his masters had at least an emperor"s realm to make that trip with a quiet or greater understanding of the laws of s.p.a.ce.
With this cultivation, they could easily reach him in those 3 years if they really wanted to, even though he had no other choice Zhang Yi hoped they would still come to find him.
Zhang Yi was very protected by the whole sect and so almost no other sect of this territory knew that there was such a talented disciple in Sword Sect, but that could not go on long, having a talented disciple was proof that a powerful sect would have an Excellent future.
Also, with all the missions Zhang Yi did being several of them outside Sword Sect territory it was a matter of time before he became known, so within a few weeks, he would have a tournament among the sects of that territory.
This tournament was highly antic.i.p.ated by the strongest disciples and sects because the disciples who won the tournaments won excellent prizes ranging from high-end spiritual stones to pills that could enhance a disciple"s talent or cultivation.
Since this was not one of the strongest territories, disputes were only between the soul-birth realm disciples and the soul-refinement realm disciples, the emptiness realm disciples did not partic.i.p.ate.
Zhang Yi received a request from elder Lu on behalf of the sect"s elders to partic.i.p.ate to win among the disciples of the soul-birth realm, as Zhang Yi could win several warriors from the soul-refinement realm peak against disciples of the soul birth realm.
Zhang Yi was grateful for the help the sect had given him in those years and also the security that was always important to him because of his wives, just as it would not be difficult for Zhang Yi to accept Sword Sect"s request to partic.i.p.ate in this tournament.
When the disciples of the soul-birth realm discovered that Zhang Yi would partic.i.p.ate they wanted to quit the tournament because they knew they could not win, but the sect promised that the disciple who took second in the sect would receive the same awards as Zhang Yi.
This cheered up the disciples who did not even have to be second in the tournament, and the only second in the sect, Zhang Yi was also more generous and said that anyone who took second would receive the cultivation resource he would receive as a prize.
This encouraged all the disciples who could win the first prize twice if they were the sect"s second-best, all disciples knew that Zhang Yi never used sect cultivation resources and only high-level spiritual stones.
It even brought a strange rumor that Zhang Yi did not use cultivation resources to cultivate and depended only on his talent, which is why he was so strong even though he was under 40 and his base was so stable.
After Zhang Yi spent two years in the sect this rumor grew stronger and even the elders began to believe it, everyone knew that it was impossible to find a disciple with more stable cultivation than Zhang Yi.
Of course, that wasn"t true, but because Zhang Yi used cultivation resources only after the core creation realm and still doing double cultivation that eliminated the impurities in his qi was almost true the rumors, let alone the tribulations he went through that left his base of even more stable cultivation.
Only Elder Lu knew this wasn"t true because she saw Zhang Yi use pills several times to cultivate, but she didn"t know which Zhang Yi pills she used or how he got those pills since he never bought anywhere.
Even if she knew from her oath to elder Lu, she couldn"t tell anyone that Zhang Yi used cultivation resources, but Zhang Yi didn"t intend to hide it from anyone because it was impossible for anyone to reach his cultivation level under the age of 40 without using cultivation resources.
But Zhang Yi didn"t talk about it so as not to risk revealing that he had a high level of mental energy and could refine pills, that would surprise everyone in the sect.
