The Sect Competition is organized once every two years, with over 20 sects participating. Twenty-seven core disciples from each sect are selected to represent their sect, so every core disciple strives to be among the chosen every two years.

Of course, it's just a competition, so why go through all this trouble just to raise your merit and become part of the selected?

The answer lies mainly in the follow-up competition after the sect competition—the Kingdom Genius Competition. This competition and the Saint/Saintess Competition are nearly on the same level of prestige.

Twenty-seven disciples will represent their sects; from these 27, the top seven will go on to represent their kingdoms in the Kingdom Genius Competition.

Those who seek fame and power mostly wouldn't let this chance pass. The Genius Competition will elevate them to a level only a few could measure up to.
