Chapter 2984: The Accumulative Points Jade
The group of people who had just arrived was Duan Ling Tian and the people from the Supporting Fall Nation. They had traveled from the Supporting Fall Nation and arrived three days earlier at the Scaling Cloud Lake where the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was located.
“Your Majesty, the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm isn’t located at the bottom of the lake, right?” Huang Jia Long asked as he looked at the leader of the group.
The leader of the group was a tall and muscular middle-aged man with an extraordinarily noble bearing. He was none other than Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation. He was dressed in a long muted dark golden robe. It was different from the dragon robe he wore all year round in the Supporting Fall Nation.
When the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opened, not only would thousands of emperors from grade-eight nations in the Thousand Nations Territory be present with their respective entourage, but even the powerhouses from the Three Sects and Two Clans would be present as well.
In the past, there was once an emperor of a grade-eight nation who wore his dragon robe to the occasion. As a result, he was killed by a powerhouse from the Three Sects and Two Clans for the sin of disrespecting the Three Sects and Two Clans and the Profound Nether Mansion! Since then, Hu Lin Yi and the other emperors of grade-eight nations did not dare to wear their dragon robes to such an occasion.
“The entrance isn’t located at the bottom of the lake. It’s located at the surface in the center of the lake,” Hu Lin Yi replied with a smile.
Huang Jia Long was the son of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City. He was also Huang Yuan Fei’s most talented son. For this reason, Hu Lin Yi had always taken good care of him. After Hu Lin Yi found out that Bai Gang, one of the powerhouses by Huang Yuan Fei’s side, had obtained a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon for the Flying Tiger Clan, a grade-six faction under the Profound Nether Mansion, he knew Bai Gang would evolve into a Silver Flying Tiger from a Copper Flying Tiger after ten years. With this, Huang Yuan Fei’s status was no longer like before. Therefore, he had to be even more courteous to the father and son duo.
Hu Lin Yi who led the group of people from the Supporting Fall Nation was accompanied by an old man. The old man was one of the elites in the Supporting Fall Nation’s Imperial Family, a One Basic Celestial King.
The remaining people in the group were the top nine participants, including Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long, of the Southern Heaven Combat in the Supporting Fall Nation who had earned the chance to enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Hu Xu Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, and Huang Jia Chao, Huang Jia Long’s younger brother, were among these people as well. The other five participants consisted of three men and two women.
The two women possessed extraordinary features. One of them was even a rare beauty.
The rare beauty was the sectless cultivator who was accompanied by an old lady, a One Basic Celestial King, during the Southern Heaven Combat. Similarly, the old lady had accompanied her today as well. Duan Ling Tian had heard from Hu Lin Yi that the old woman was the woman’s grandmother. The woman’s name was Meng Qiu Yu, and her grandmother was known as Grandma Meng.
‘Meng Qiu Yu is much stronger than He Qing…’ Duan Ling Tian briefly glanced at Meng Qiu Yu before he shifted his eyes to the woman named He Qing.
He Qing was the daughter of a clan leader from a powerful clan in the Supporting Fall Nation.
“Come! Let’s go!” Hu Lin Yi called out at this moment before he flew toward the center of Scaling Cloud Lake.
Duan Ling Tian and the group of people from the Supporting Fall Nation followed suit.
“So many people!”
When they drew close to the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake, they saw a massive crowd had already gathered there. They looked like dark clouds looming over the lake from afar.
“Brother Duan, as I mentioned before, it’s estimated that more than 15,000 participants will enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. As you can see, now that the entrance is about to open, many people have gathered here. After all, it’s not just the participants who have gathered here. For example, even among our group, there are three non-participants. It’s only natural that the turnout is so huge,” Huang Jia Long said with a smile, “When the entrance opens in three days, I think the number of people at Scaling Cloud Lake would rise to 20,000 if not more.”
Duan Ling Tian looked around him. He estimated there were roughly 2,000 to 3,000 people, some already at the center of the lake and some were still making their way over, at this moment.
“In order to open the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, the powerhouses from the Three Sects and Two Clans have to work together with the tokens they possess. The powerhouses will arrive a day earlier to issue an Accumulative Points Jade to every participant,” Hu Lin Yi explained as he led the group to the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake.
“Accumulative Points Jade?”
A confused expression appeared on Duan Ling Tian and a few people’s faces. After all, this was their first time entering the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. They knew nothing about it.
“The Three Sects and Two Clans will prepare a Celestial Weapon called the Accumulative Points Jade for every participant. It’s a primitive Celestial Weapon with no offensive, defensive, and assistive powers. Every Accumulative Points Jade is distinguishable once they acknowledge their masters. Upon receiving the Accumulative Points Jade, there would be one point in it. To accumulate more points, one must kill other participants,” Hu Lin Yi said as he looked at the nine participants pointedly.
The first-timers, including Duan Ling Tian, inhaled deeply when they heard these words.
‘The lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is a place where Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials battle to their death?’ Duan Ling Tian was shocked. At the same time, he looked at Huang Jia Long.
No wonder Huang Jia Long had mentioned the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was a brutal and cruel place. He even said he would not have made it out alive if he was less fortunate. He did not reveal much to Duan Ling Tian since he did not want Duan Ling Tian to overthink things.
“In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there are many fortuitous encounters, cultivation methods, Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, medicinal pills, rare medicinal herbs, and King Grade Celestial Weapons. It’ll depend on your luck whether you obtain them or not… In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, you can hide all you want. So long you’re able to survive until the powerhouses from the Three Sects and Two Clans reopen the entrance, even if you gain nothing, you’d still be welcomed to join the Three Sects and Two Clans.”
Upon hearing Hu Lin Yi’s words, the weaker participants from the Supporting Fall Nation regretted placing in the top nine places during the Southern Heaven Combat. At the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief as well when they heard they were also allowed to hide. With that, their chances of survival would be higher. They could still obtain treasures even if they kept a low profile. Little did they know, benefits and risks co-existed; there would not be one without the other.
“Your Majesty, when would the powerhouses of the Three Sects and Two Clans reopen the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
“In the past, they would only open the entrance again once 60% of the participants had fallen. When the entrance opens again, the participant would stop accumulating points immediately. If you kill another participant after the entrance is reopened, you won’t gain any point at all. On the other hand, once you enter the lower realm and the entrance closes, you’ll be able to accumulate points immediately,” Hu Lin Yi explained.
“So, the rule to reopen the entrance is still the same?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
60%!
Upon hearing Hu Lin Yi’s words, the weaker Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials began to panic again. This meant that roughly four out of the nine participants from the Supporting Fall Nation would be able to come out alive.
“Barring unforeseen circumstances, the rule should still be the same,” Hu Lin Yi lightly said, “In other words, out of nine, only four of you will survive. Of course, the stronger you are, the greater your chances of survival. For those who are weak, you might survive with a little luck, and if you keep a low profile. Regardless, I hope all of you will accumulate more points to make it to the top so you will gain the respect from the Three Sects and Two Clans when you join them.”
Duan Ling Tian and the group from the Supporting Nation Fall inwardly disagreed with Hu Lin Yi’s words. They knew Hu Lin Yi would be handsomely rewarded by the Three Sects and Two Clans if they made it to the top. The higher they ranked, the more generous his rewards would be. Conversely, the lower they ranked, the worse the rewards.
At this moment, a loud and bright voice rang from afar. “Isn’t this Emperor Hu of the Supporting Fall Nation?”
