Chapter 568: The Barren Land
Other than Ye Xiao, other nine young men including Lin Hao became extremely excited. Spending one day absorbing the True Essence inside the True Essence Pool was equal to spending one year absorbing the Spirit Energy. According to this, spending three years absorbing the True Essence would be equal to spending 1095 years absorbing spirit energy.
How much they could improve in these three years?
They might even become Ancient Immortal Realm martial artists. After all, other than Ye Xiao who was a Late Stage Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist, and Lin Hao who was an Early Stage Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist, other eight people were either Mid Stage or Late Stage Immortal King Realm martial artists.
Improving to the Ancient Immortal Realm in just three years was really something that no one could have thought. It has to know that it would take thousands of years cultivating normally to raise one"s cultivation to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Giving such a benefit to the person who could bring the treasure was really an extremely good plan that the Sacred Lands have made. This way, they could make people willingly give their all to get the treasure from the depth of Well Of h.e.l.l.
And there must be another reason behind this decision of Sacred Lands. This way, they could prevent others from taking the treasure for themselves. After all, the treasure of Divine Level was not something that just any Immortal can use. If someone really dared to take the treasure for himself, if he really used it and people come to about it, that person will be hunted down and will be killed.
The safe way was to hand over the treasure to the Sacred Land and receive the reward, absorbing the True Essence for three years and increasing their strength to a great extent.
The old man was observing everyone in the room. He could see everyone"s excited expression when they heard about the reward for the person who could bring back the treasure.
But he was amused when he saw Ye Xiao"s indifferent face. It was as if absorbing True Essence or not was the same for him. Ye Xiao has already caught the old man"s eyes when he recognized the Dragon Blood Stone. Now that he saw Ye Xiao"s indifferent expression, he became even more curious about Ye Xiao.
After some time, the old man again said, "There is some kind of restriction placed on that forbidden ground. Anyone who entered the Well Of h.e.l.l could only stay inside for two months. After two months, if alive, they"ll be teleported out on their own!"
"So, you all have to do your best to obtain the treasure in these two months of time. If not, then this trip will be worthless for us, the Sacred Lands!"
"Also, since the Well Of h.e.l.l is an extremely dangerous place, we"ll give all of you something that could save your lives in a time of need!"
Saying this, the old man waved his hand and two talismans appeared in front of all ten young men.
"What are these talismans?" One of the ten young men who received the talisman asked in confusion.
It was not only him, other eight young men including Lin Hao were also confused. It was the first time they had seen this talisman. But same was not the case for Ye Xiao. He had the memories of Ancient Formation G.o.d and knew every kind of formation and inscriptions that has ever appeared in the Upper Realm. The moment he saw the talisman, he immediately understood what kind of talisman was it.
"Dao Punishment Talisman!" Ye Xiao muttered but his voice was enough for everyone inside the room to hear.
The old man was surprised when he heard Ye Xiao. He was again shocked. In his eyes, Ye Xiao"s standing became even higher. He already knew that Ye Xiao was different from others and knew many odd things that ordinary people don"t know.
The old man nodded his head and said, "Yes, these are Dao Punishment Talisman. I have given each of you two Dao Punishment Talismans. Each Dao Punishment Talisman is a treasure in itself. Its value is no less than the value of a Top Grade Immortal Rank Weapon."
"Dao Punishment Talisman contains some kind of Law that the maker has comprehended. Let"s say, a formation master has comprehended the Law of Fire. When he"ll inscribe a Dao Punishment Talisman, then he"ll have to use his Law of Fire to imbue the talisman and then inscribe some inscription on it!"
"The complete Dao Punishment Talisman will have the Law of Fire that"ll have the power to burn down everything in the world."
"The Dao Punishment Talisman in your contains the Law of Lightning. With these two talismans, you can save your lives two times. A single Dao Punishment Talisman is enough to destroy tens of kilometers of land. So, you have to use it only you were to fall in an extremely perilous situation and could not find a way out."
All ten of them nodded their heads. They understood what the old man was trying to say. Everyone kept the Dao Punishment Talisman inside their spatial ring and again looked at the old man who continued to say some more things.
After some time, all of them were ready to depart.
.....
About a hundred kilometers away from the Great Martial City in the north direction, there existed a barren land. Although this was a barren land, the spirit energy here was still denser than in other places. It would not be a lie if someone were to say that they could establish a Sacred Land at this place.
But... though the spirit energy here was much denser, not a single form of life could be seen here.
Suddenly, many people started appearing one after another with a group behind them.
Very soon, the number of people exceeded one thousand. The people were still coming. Some people came flying, some people came riding on demonic beasts, some came on the flying ship and some came on their foot.
But one thing was common among these people, all of them were exuding off extremely strong aura from their bodies as if wanting to let people around know about their arrival.
Very soon, another group of people arrived on the flying ship. There was a sign of two swords crossing each other on the outer wall of the flying ship. This flying ship belonged to the Double Sword Sacred Land.
On the deck of the flying ship, the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land was standing and behind him were thirteen people. They were the ten young me who"ll represent the Double Sword Sacred Land and enter the Well Of h.e.l.l and three middle-aged men: Wu Cheng, Ta Mu, and Huang Daniu!
Arriving at the barren land, the flying ship landed and everyone came out.
"The people of Double Sword Sacred Land are here!"
Suddenly, someone announced that the people of Double Sword Sacred Land has come, causing everyone to turn, looking at Ye Xiao"s group.
The Double Sword Sacred Land was extremely strong and was only second to the Great Martial Sacred Land which was the strongest Sacred Land of the Great Martial World. This might also be the reason why they dared to name their Sacred Land after the Great Martial World.
Although the Double Sword Sacred Land was slightly weaker than the Great Martial Sacred Land, it doesn"t mean Great Martial Sacred Land could show off in front of it.
No, instead, they always have to be extremely careful. After all, the strength of the Double Sword Sacred Land was continuously increasing and it could be seen, in just a few hundred years, the Double Sword Sacred Land might leave behind the Great Martial Sacred Land and become the strongest Sacred Land of the Great Martial World.
Everyone started to pay attention to the people of Double Sword Sacred Land, causing the ten young men to become nervous.
"Don"t worry about these people. They are just small characters in front of our Sacred Land!"
It was at this time Wu Cheng came forward and comforted the ten people, causing them to calm down. Otherwise, being stared at by thousands of powerful people from the Sacred Land was really giving them too much pressure.
"Old man Jian, you are here!"
It was at this moment when an old man came out from the crowd and greeted the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land.
"Old man Han, you have already arrived here!"
The Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land also stepped forward to return the greet and started chatting with the other old man.
Ye Xiao, Lin Hao, and others looked at the two of them in surprise.
Ta Mu said, "He is the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land. Although our Leader and the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land are seemed to be in harmony, this is not the truth. All the major powers in the Great Martial World know that the Double Sword Sacred Land and the Great Martial Sacred Land are like fire and water. They could not tolerate the presence of each other."
Ye Xiao and others nodded their heads in understanding.
