Novel Full 174 A Holy Place
“The time has come! The Void Ground has finally opened. I’ve been preparing for this one. Soon enough, I’ll shock everyone from the other sects of my cultivation level. I will certainly be chosen in the Heavenly Selection!”
“Hao Bufei, remember to keep your arrogance in check. We don’t know whether the other sects’ disciples also have their own trump cards. After all, some of their core disciples have gone away to seek more opportunities. If they come back, they will certainly come back strong.”
The old man had wrinkles all over his face. However, his aura was not any weaker than Lan Mingyue herself. In fact, he might even be stronger. In terms of demeanor, Lan Mingyue would also pale in comparison.
“It has been a long time since this old man has gone out. Bufei, let this old man accompany all of you to the Void Ground. Although I can’t enter, at least I can wait for you outside the place.”
The Void Ground had been treated as a holy ground for the cultivators of the Third Region. They revered this ground like a god because it could provide an endless amount of resources.
Legends had it that the Void Ground was actually a treasure in itself, but no one knew exactly whether the legends were true. After all, it was unbelievable that a treasure could be this big. To say the least, it was boundless. Rumors about being born from the void had also spread. However, they could not ascertain whether it was really from the void or not.
A person might have even made this treasure out of nowhere. That person could possibly be someone from the void, a person who had the aura of the void.
Nevertheless, it was a fact that the Void Ground could produce an enormous amount of resources for cultivators to use. Moreover, they were resources that were extremely helpful with their cultivation.
There were rumors circulating around that the Void Ground could produce treasures that could increase one’s comprehension of the rules and of the arts that they practice.
“Bufei, let’s go now. If we delay this further, the others will have the chance to enter the Void Ground first. Remember to keep your arrogance in check when you enter the Void Ground. Although it is a place filled with resources, it isn’t without danger.”
Despite the peril behind it, such an opportunity would only make you mediocre if you ignored it.
“Yes, master,” Hao Bufei said as he bowed toward his master. “What about the others, master? Shall I call them now?”
“Yes, do it quickly.”
“Yes!”
On the other side, Cai Hong made Nangong Yi and Nangong Bai completely submit to him. Nangong Bai initially insisted not to, but because she didn’t want to die an early death, not until she found a handsome man, unlike her husband, she chose to submit instead.
“Hey, what is this Void Ground? What do you do there?” Cai Hong asked, curious about this matter.
“Senior, the Void Ground is a holy place. Inside it, there were trials and tests all over the place. It was said that the more difficult the test you undergo will be, the more abundant the resources you will receive.
“I see,” Cai Hong’s reaction.
“Also, senior, when the entire Third Region trembles, it means that it has opened. However, only cultivators of the Third Region can enter such a place. If the senior wishes to enter the Void Ground, the senior needs to be under the age of a hundred years old and the senior must be a native of the Third Region.”
“In other words, I could not enter such a place?” Cai Hong replied. “Let me try it first. Who knows? When will you go there? You must have disciples under the age of a hundred, right?”
“What? Senior wishes to enter the Void Ground? Aren’t you…” Nangong Yi was a bit shocked.
Cai Hong’s gaze turned sharp as it drilled Nangong Yi’s soul. “What? I may not be a native of the Third Region, but I am still under a hundred years old. I am not an old man like you.”
Nangong Yi was speechless. “You’re still under a hundred years old, senior? How come…”
“You don’t have to ask. Again, if you do well under His Highness’ tutelage, you might as well be blessed by his care and reach a cultivation realm you never thought of reaching in your entire life,” Cai Hong said, matter-of-factly.
Nangong Yi and his wife contemplated what Cai Hong said. This was also one of the reasons (other than having no choice at all for their weakness) why they chose to submit to Cai Hong, who was ordered by this so-called ‘His Highness’. After all, Cai Hong once told them that after he acknowledged this ‘His Highness,’ his cultivation reached the height he never thought he would reach in the blink of an eye. It was such a feat that only a god is capable of doing.
What was a Saint Emperor? That’s clearly above his dream of becoming a Saint King! Who wouldn’t want to become a Saint Emperor, then?
This ‘His Highness’ must be an immortal or a god that had chosen to wander across their realm.
Seeing the silent Nangong Yi, Cai Hong took the initiative to ask, “Do you have any disciples you would want to bring with you? We can still wait. Anyhow, as you said, the Void Ground won’t close once someone has already entered first.”
Nangong Yi, however, did not clearly hear what Cai Hong said. Only when Nangong Bai smacked him in the head and told him what Cai Hong asked, did he wake up from his stupor.
“U-uh… yes, senior… I do have disciples I want to bring with me… please excuse me for a bit…” Nangong Yi stuttered and hurriedly scurried away to get the best disciples he wanted to bring with him.
Cai Hong could only shake his head at the behavior of Nangong Yi. Even he, until at the moment, couldn’t believe the opportunity he received from only acknowledging His Highness as his master.
