Chapter 569: A Fact That Was Not Told
"Old man Jian, I"ve heard that you didn"t choose the disciples of your Double Sword Sacred Land to enter the Well Of h.e.l.l. Instead, you have chosen ten talented people from the partic.i.p.ants of the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds. Is that true?"
The Leader of the Great Martial Sacred Land looked at the ten young men who were standing behind the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land and said.
The Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land replied: "That"s true! I have chosen ten talented young men from hundreds of thousands of partic.i.p.ants to enter the Well Of h.e.l.l. But you are not behind me old Han. After all, you have also selected five out of ten talented young men from these partic.i.p.ants!"
When the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land heard this, he frowned his eyes and looked at the people behind him. Other than ten young men, there were four middle-aged men standing behind the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land.
The four middle-aged men shook their heads instantly when they saw the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land looking at them. They were trying to say that they are not the ones to leak the news. It must have been done by some other people. It also meant that among the higher-ups of Great Martial Sacred Land, there was at least one spy hiding!
Old man Jian smiled when he saw this scene and changed the topic: "Old Han, you can take care of your Sacred Land"s matter after the matter here is over. Why don"t we start sending the selected ten people inside the Well Of h.e.l.l?"
The Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land nodded his head. Since his Sacred Land was the strongest amongst all other Sacred Lands, he took the lead and started walking deeper into the Barren Land. Following behind him were all other people present here.
Very soon, everyone arrived in front of the place where the ground was broken into two parts and between these two parts was a huge and deep ravine. No one knows how big this ravine is, all they knew is that this ravine has been here since the ancient era. No one was able to explore the entire ravine.
It is said that inside the ravine, there is a different world. It was a world of its own. Although not as big as the world of Upper Realm, the world inside the ravine was definitely as big as a continent from the Lower Realm.
Those who could come out after entering this ravine were very few people and even these people were the ones who have never gone deeper into the ravine to explore it. They choose to stay in a thousand kilometers of the area after entering the ravine. Only some of them were able to return alive. It was also through them that the Great Martial Sacred Land was able to get hold of the map.
This ravine was very dangerous, to the extent where the mortality rate was extremely high. Among a thousand people, even if ten of them were to come out alive will be a huge probability. The mortality rate was this high.
Maybe, this was also the reason why this ravine was called the Well Of h.e.l.l!
A path that leads directly to h.e.l.l.
.....
Arriving in front of the deep ravine, the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land said, "You all should already know what this place is and why all of you were brought here!"
Seeing everyone nodding their heads, he once again started speaking: "I"ll say the purpose of you all entering the Well Of h.e.l.l."
"All you need to do is go deep inside the Well Of h.e.l.l and search for a treasure for us. There will be ten geniuses from each Sacred Land who"ll enter the Well Of h.e.l.l. Inside the Well Of h.e.l.l, all the treasures you can get will belong to you. We only want a single treasure. What that treasure is, even we don"t know. All we know is that there is a Divine Level treasure deep inside the Well Of h.e.l.l. This treasure was left here in a war that occurred in the ancient era. Whoever can bring this treasure will get the chance to enter the True Essence Pool and stay there for three whole years!"
"Let"s say, a genius of my Great Martial Sacred Land was able to bring back the treasure that we want, the treasure will belong to my Great Martial Sacred Land. And if the treasure were to be brought back by the genius of any other Sacred Land, the treasure will belong to that corresponding Sacred Land."
"I"ll not waste any more time. All of you, start entering the Well Of h.e.l.l!"
At first, people hesitated to enter the Well Of h.e.l.l. Only when a few young men jumped into the huge ravine did all the young men also start to jump one after another.
Very soon, only the higher-ups of the Sacred Lands were left!
"Leader, shouldn"t you inform those geniuses about the situation inside?"
One of the higher-ups of the Great Martial Sacred Land asked old man Han. Some other people also nodded their heads in response while some choose to not express what they were thinking in their hearts.
The Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land first looked at the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land and then turned at others, asking: "Do all of you also think I should have told them that they could not use their cultivation base inside the Well Of h.e.l.l and this is the most important reason why this ravine is h.e.l.l!"
Some people said that he should have told the geniuses while some shook their heads and expressed negative opinions.
"Old man Jian, what do you think?" The Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land asked the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land!
The Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land took a deep breath, looked at the people from tens of Sacred Lands, and said: "I think not telling them this was a good decision made by Old Man Han."
Others looked at him in surprise. Everyone knew about the grudges between two top sacred lands. Old Man Jian taking parts with Old Man Han was the last thing they have ever thought about.
Seeing the doubt in others" eyes, the Old Man Jian once again said: "Think about it, if we have told them that they could not use their cultivation base inside the Well Of h.e.l.l, would they have chosen to jump into this ravine?"
Others thought and shook their heads. Old Man Jian continued to say, "Not to mention they wouldn"t have chosen to enter the Well Of h.e.l.l, they might have spread the news about it. If that really would have happened, do you really think anyone would ever choose to believe in us and enter the Well Of h.e.l.l?"
"Also, now that they have already jumped inside the Well Of h.e.l.l, even if they don"t want to, they still have to spend two months inside there. Only after two months could they be teleported out. Of course, they still have to stay alive until then!"
"But... Now that all the geniuses are trapped inside the Well of h.e.l.l, they"ll definitely choose to search for the treasures and do their best, so that after coming out, they could at least get the chance to enter the True Essence Pool for three years. Moreover, they would also get the opportunity to compete for the seat of next Leader of the Sacred Land they are representing!"
When others heard this, they all nodded their heads in understanding. But there were still a few of them who didn"t agree with Old Man Jian and Old Man Han. One of them said, "I still don"t agree with this decision. Doing this kind of thing is the same as making them hate us. In the future, they"ll never believe in any Sacred Land and if the news about it spread out, no one would dare to send their sons and daughter to our Sacred Land."
"Doing this is the same as dishonoring the reputation of our Sacred Lands. It is an insult to the reputation of each and every Sacred Land!"
When the Leader of Great Martial Sacred Land heard this, he said, "Don"t worry, after they"ll come out, we will force them to keep everything that happened to themselves. If they dared to spread anything bad about our Sacred Lands, we would not only kill them but also their entire families."
"This way, we could make them stay quiet. They"ll not dare to spread anything that could ruin the reputation of our Sacred Lands!"
"I know, this is not the right way out, but we could only take this path to force them keep their mouth shut. Well, at most, we"ll give them some other benefits, enough to make them forget about everything that happened to them!"
Others nodded their heads. Now that the deed is already done, they could not change anything.. So, talking about would not bring any good result.
