Chapter 567: Well Of h.e.l.l
One week later, Ye Xiao was standing in front of the Double Sword Pavilion. He was informed by Mu Cheng to come here and meet the Leader of the Double Sword Pavilion.
Ye Xiao entered the Double Sword Pavilion, went to the Third Floor, and arrived in front of the same room he had been to before the start of the First Round of the Compet.i.tion.
Knocking the door, Ye Xiao entered. He did not wait for someone to call him in, instead, he directly entered.
Inside the room, other than the old man and three middle-aged men, there were nine young men present. Among these nine young men, Ye Xiao was familiar with one of them. It was Lin Hao.
Currently, everyone was looking at Ye Xiao. Lin Hao had a surprised expression on his face. It was clear that Lin Hao was surprised when he saw Ye Xiao. He did not expect Ye Xiao to be the tenth person.
The old man who was also the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land said, "Now that the ten of you are here, I"ll explain where you all have to go!"
Ye Xiao smiled and nodded at Lin Hao before looking at the old man to hear him out. Lin Hao also did the same. Right now was not the time to talk. They"ll talk as much as they like later.
The old man was surprised to see Ye Xiao. It was because he could feel that Ye Xiao has become a lot stronger, much stronger than how he was two years ago. But he could not tell his cultivation base since Ye Xiao was not showing it on the surface. Not even a trace of aura was leaking from his body.
Two years ago, although Ye Xiao was not the strongest among the ten chosen people, he was also not the weakest. But now, although not even a trace of aura was leaking, the old man could tell that Ye Xiao has become the strongest among these ten people.
But this was also good. The more powerful the people in his group were, the more it was profitable for him.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, ready to hear him explaining why they had called them here, the old man said, "The place where you are going to enter is called Well Of h.e.l.l"
"Well Of h.e.l.l?" x10!
"Yes!" The old man nodded his head and said, "Actually, this is one of the most dangerous forbidden grounds of the Great Martial World. There is a legend, in ancient times, there occurred a huge war. We don"t know detail about it but it is said that in the depth of the Well Of h.e.l.l, there is a treasure of Divine Level, a treasure that could only be found in the Divine Realm and should not exist in the Upper Realm!"
"There are many other treasures buried in the h.e.l.l Of Well. Every treasure is something extremely rare to find in the outside world. But it is extremely dangerous to get our hands on those treasures. It is because, inside the Well Of h.e.l.l, each step is filled with extreme danger. If someone wants to take something from the Well Of h.e.l.l, they have to be prepared to face dangers that could take their lives away."
"We are sending you in such a place because we want to get our hands on the treasure that is hidden in the depth of Well Of h.e.l.l. Inside there, although you all will face great dangers, it doesn"t mean it"ll be without any benefit. Other than the treasure I"ve talked about before, we will take nothing from you. All the other things that you"ll get will be yours. You won"t have to hand those things over!"
The ten people looked at each other. They could tell that they were about to enter an extremely dangerous place. But they have also promised a great deal. They could take all the treasures they could from the Well Of h.e.l.l. All they have to do is to find the treasure in the depth of Well Of h.e.l.l and hand it over to the Sacred Land"s Leader!
Ye Xiao raised his hand and asked, "What is the treasure you want us to bring from the depth of Well Of h.e.l.l?"
The old man shook his head and replied, "I don"t know!"
"Don"t know?" x10!
The old man nodded his head and replied: "In fact, no one knows what that treasure is. All we were able to find out was that the treasure is a Divine Level Treasure. Anyone who could get their hands on the treasure might become the most powerful person in the entire Upper Realm and might even get the chance to change their fate, transform into a Divine Being, and ascend to the Divine Realm."
"If we don"t even know what the treasure is, how can we search for that treasure? Doesn"t it mean even if we were to see that treasure, we won"t be able to recognize it?" Lin Hao asked.
The old man replied with a smile: "Don"t worry about that. Anyone who"ll come across that treasure will be able to immediately recognize it. It"s because that treasure is entirely different from what anyone has ever seen. Even the slightest of that treasure"s aura is enough to pressure all of you to the extent where you"ll find it extremely difficult to move."
"Also, you"ll not be the only ones entering the Well Of h.e.l.l, all the Sacred Lands of Great Martial World has chosen ten people to enter. All of you will enter together. It also meant that inside the Well Of h.e.l.l, everyone will be each other"s enemy. All of you have to be extremely careful and wary of each other. Also, anyone who could bring the treasure back could compete for the sear of the next Sacred Leader of their corresponding Sacred Land whom they"ll be representing inside the Well Of h.e.l.l. At the same time, that person will be rewarded with 3 years of duration to enter and stay inside the True Essence Pool!"
The moment the old man said this, it immediately caused the nine people"s eyes to light up. Only Ye Xiao was indifferent. If he wants, he could simply sit on the Third Floor of Nine Story PaG.o.da and devour as much True Essence as he liked. He could even become a Divine Being inside the Nine Story PaG.o.da and might even cultivate to become the strongest under the Heavens and only then come out.
But what was the point of doing so?
If he really did so, only his cultivation base will increase on the surface, his true fighting strength will be reduced greatly. Also, he couldn"t cultivate other Layers of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. It"s because Ye Xiao believed just like how it requires a great amount of demonic energy, aura, and demon essence to increase the cultivation level of the Fourth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, and how it took a great amount of blood to increase the Fifth Layer of his cultivation technique, it"ll require other things to increase the cultivation level of other layers of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
If Ye Xiao chooses to stay inside the Nine Story PaG.o.da, he could not cultivate other layers of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and will have to be satisfied with only five ancestral dragons. It was something that Ye Xiao could not afford to do.
Also, if he really did something like this, he would not be qualified to be the inheritor of the Universe of Heavenly Pearl.
Let"s first compare Ye Xiao"s small world to other people"s small worlds.
Other people could only create one small world while Ye Xiao has created an entire Solar System. Moreover, he still has to continue to work on his Solar System to turn into a Galaxy and then an entire Universe.
It was only the first point. The second point is, when martial artists cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm, they would be able to give birth to lives inside their small world, while Ye Xiao"s Solar System has no traces of lives other than trees and forests that Queen helped him to grow when he just formed the Solar System.
If he wants to give birth to other forms of life inside the Solar System, he still has a long way to go.
Many times, Ye Xiao wanted to expand the Solar System but he was unable to do so. It was because he have to first find the Yin and Yang energies. Only then he could do something like that.
Ye Xiao was different from other people. He was walking on a different path. If he was just like other people, he could simply spend all his time devouring the True Essence and focus on increasing his cultivation base.. But he could not do so because he still have many things to do.
