The competition format of the Tianshan Tournament might seem simple, but the intricacies involved were numerous. The ten disciples from the immortal sects had to withstand the pressure of the sword Qi at the mountain's peak while simultaneously competing and battling amongst themselves. The sword Qi pressure was self-explanatory: those with higher cultivation, greater strength, and sufficient resilience could ascend the steps against it. However, the competition among the disciples was far more complex.
For instance, if I want to secure a good ranking in this Tianshan Tournament, then the disciples from other immortal sects are all stumbling blocks I need to overcome one by one. Depending on how the situation unfolds, some can be cooperated with, while others need to be targeted. Cooperation will require vigilance, and targeting others must not attract too much attention.
