"Is it easy to encounter a Sword Saint?" Ye Tian Yun shook his head, and said, "In the whole Lower Heavens, there are only two Sword Saints. And both of them are not natives of Lower Heavens, but are from the Middle Heavens."


    "Then how are you so knowledgeable about sword intent and sword saints? Does the Fang n have records regarding them?" Zheng Xiang couldn''t help but ask Ye Tian Yun when he heard his non-chnt response.


    ''Does he really think Fang n is capable of even understanding what Sword Intent means?'' Ye Tian Yun disdained inwardly but replied, "Well, you can say that. Not a manual or a secret, it was all written just a paper in the old library at my n."


    "Oh?" Something shed through Zheng Xiang''s eyes, before he said, "Is it the main reason you joined the Gracious Sword Sect? Since the first sect leader, Yuan Xuming was a Sword Saint and it is said that his legacy still remains untouched, even after years of his ascension to the Upper Heavens. All the disciples who took the trial to receive his legacy failed very badly, some even with mortal injuries."


    "Not really. My n forced me toe here and cultivate for the next few years. I was having a great time in the Capital city, but now I even have to fight for a ce to cultivate." Ye Tian Yun sighed and made a reminiscing expression, as if he was seeing all his good days being yed in front of him.


    Zheng Xiang also sighed, "Ah, the perks of being born in a rich n."


    There was a moment of silence as they both reminisced of theirst years of having fun in their hometown due to their family''s power behind them.


    "Brother Fang, what are your thoughts regarding the Grand Spirit Hunt? Will you try to get your name on the Gracious Sword Rankings or are you thinking of waiting for five more years for the next Grand Spirit Hunt?"


    "I haven''t thought of anything special regarding that, but I will definitely try to get my name on the Gracious Sword Rankings. But, it is still too early to decide. First, what we need to focus on is settling in the Inner Court. Understanding its structure is the highest priority, getting to know our new opponents and understanding the leagues."


    "Leagues? What are they? Some kind of game?" Zheng Xiang was confused and surprised by the information Ye Tian Yun had given him just through casual chat.


    He, like any other Outer Court Disciple, was not aware of the state of Inner Court and the power structure among the disciples except for the Gracious Sword Rankings.


    Now, he was surprised by the leagues Ye Tian Yun had remarked about.


    Ye Tian Yun nodded and continued, "The so-called leagues are organizations created by the Inner Court disciples. Because these organizations could pull the rtionships closer and ignite brotherhood between disciples, the Gracious Sword Sect doesn''t oppose it, and instead, they encourage it."


    "Oh? Then which league is the strongest? Are you also going to join a league? Which one should I join? Are there any benefits in joining leagues?" Zheng Xiang made a barrage of questions when he heard about the existence of leagues. It simply sounded something cool to him and he wanted to know more.


    Ye Tain Yun put his hand on his chin, acting like an knowledgeable old man, he said, "Actually, there are many leagues in the Inner Court, but the truly strong ones are only four, the World League, the Heavenly League, the Jade League and the Nine Supremes."


    "The World League has the most number of members, reaching at least five hundred people. And they have ''World'' behind their back, signifying themselves as the part of the World Alliance."


    "The Heavenly League is the most significant because most of the core disciples were once part of this alliance. But there selection trial is the hardest, so very few disciples seeded to be a part of this league."


    "The Jade League is unique because it is an all female league. There are no male disciples, and it is the most sought after league by female disciples."


    "But of all these, the Nine Supremes are the most mysterious and powerful ones. As the name suggests they truly only have nine members, and anyone who joins them will no doubt be a core disciple soon. But there is no trial or test to join this league, the Nine Supremes will decide if you are worthy, and after three months, the selected will challenge the current nine supremes to be official members."


    Zheng Xiang was overwhelmed by this information he had just received. He would have never thought Inner Court was going to be this muchplicated, with all the leagues and rankings, when was he going to focus on his cultivation if he joined any league.


    "Brother Fang, is it necessary to join a league? I only want to focus on my cultivation and prepare for the Grand Spirit Hunt." Zheng Xiang asked in confusion.


    Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath, with an unnoticeable smile on his lips, as if his n was about to seed, he replied, "You should definitely join a league if you are preparing for the Grand Spirit Hunt. Aplishing anything alone is almost impossible in the Inner Court. Even I am nning to join the Heavenly League if the Nine Supremes ignore me."


    "Although the stronger leagues are harder to enter, you cannot choose a weak one. For example, you should never enter those who say how good their leagues are to one person after the other. Those leagues could not even protect you and you would only get bullied."
