Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was traveling to the Profound Nether Mansion from the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he had heard from Qi Tian Ming that the Profound Nether Mansion had nurtured some powerful Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
There were a few who had comprehended six profundities from a law, but there was only one who had comprehended seven profundities from a law.
The person who had comprehended seven profundities from a law was none other than the law of wood.
"Zhou Hong Jie."
Duan Lingtian made a mental note of the person's name.
Based on the discussion earlier, he learned that Zhou Hong Jie's name was Zhou Hong Jie.
It had been almost a year since Zhou Hong Jie had comprehended seven profundities from the law of wood in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
'He's still not in the top 20 even though he has comprehended seven profundities from the law of wood … It seems like the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the other Celestial Mansions in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm are not to be underestimated.'
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess that the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were not to be underestimated.
There must be some Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who had comprehended seven profundities from a law in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Otherwise, with Zhou Hong Jie's strength, how could he not be in the top 20 after such a long time?
Duan Lingtian was not surprised when Qi Tian Ming said Zhou Hong Jie was a core disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion.
In the Profound Nether Mansion, apart from some powerful Ten Directions Celestial Dukes, most of the disciples below the Celestial King Realm were outer court disciples.
This was because the test to become an inner court disciple was extremely difficult. Only Ten Directions Celestial Dukes or Celestial Kings would be able to pass it.
As for the core disciples, they had to be Celestial Kings below the age of 1,000. Not only was strength important, but innate talent was also important.
Although Zhou Hong Jie was still a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, his attainments in the profundities of the law had surpassed most of the core disciples in the Profound Nether Mansion.
Moreover, the reason Zhou Hong Jie's cultivation base had not improved was due to the Profound Nether Mansion's order.
Otherwise, he would have long broken through and become a Celestial King.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian was not surprised that Duan Lingtian was a core disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion.
"The light screen in the middle of the courtyard shows the scoreboard of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Naturally, the scoreboard only shows the ranking for this month. If you want to check the past rankings, you'll have to go inside. "
Qi Tianming said to Duan Lingtian as he led Duan Lingtian into the mansion behind the spacious courtyard.
Upon seeing Qi Tian Ming leading the way for Duan Lingtian, the Profound Nether Mansion's disciples in the courtyard were curious about Duan Lingtian's identity. "Who's that purple-clad young man? I don't think I've seen such a person before … "
"For Patrol Inspector Qi to personally lead the way for him, he must not be a simple person."
"Inspector Qi is by his side, so my divine sense doesn't dare to approach him rashly. But even if it doesn't approach, I can still sense some of his aura … He's not even a hundred years old!"
"Not even a hundred years old?"
"Initially, I thought Inspector Qi found external help to help the Profound Nether Mansion in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. However, it seems like I was overthinking things."
"External help? It's not easy to find external help. Put aside the fact that there are very few sectless Ten Directions Celestial Dukes below the age of 1,000, even if there are, they would have been recruited by other grade-six Celestial Mansions. "
…
The disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion were curious about Duan Lingtian's identity.
After all, Qi Tian Ming, one of the Ten Inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion, had to personally lead the way for Duan Lingtian.
Coupled with the fact that Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, they could not help but let their imagination run wild.
"External help?"
Duan Ling Tian who had just entered the mansion with Qi Tian Ming was slightly taken aback when he overheard the conversation between the Profound Nether Mansion's disciples.
Then, he asked Qi Tian Ming through Voice Transmission, "Old Qi, is it possible to find external help?"
"Yes."
Qi Tian Ming nodded. "It's not against the rules of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to look for external help. It's rare for sectless cultivators below the age of 1,000 to comprehend six profundities from a law. As for sectless cultivators below the age of 1,000 who have comprehended seven profundities from a law, they're even rarer!
Generally, only sectless cultivators are willing to help grade-six Celestial Mansions. Those who are strong and outstanding disciples from the Ten Major Clans and Five Great Sects won't bother to help grade-six Celestial Mansions in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Moreover, the Ten Major Clans have made it clear that their disciples are not allowed to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Once they're discovered, they'll be expelled from the clan. Therefore, it's impossible for the Ten Major Clans to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. It's possible for the Five Great Sects to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, but they'd have to be motivated by something.
Moreover, the grade-six Celestial Mansions can't meet the requirements of the Five Great Sects' disciples. Therefore, it's almost impossible for the Five Great Sects' disciples to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. For this reason, the grade-six Celestial Mansions can only seek help from sectless cultivators. "
Qi Tian Ming's words made Duan Lingtian realize that there were many grade-six Celestial Mansions in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
There were many powerhouses in the Ten Major Clans and Five Great Sects who could rank high in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
He was not surprised by this.
After all, the Ten Major Clans and Five Great Sects were the top forces in the Southern Heaven Territory. They were not something ordinary forces could compare to.
Even the Blood Skull's assassin organization couldn't compare to them.
As soon as Qi Tian Ming finished speaking, Duan Lingtian followed him into the mansion.
Behind the mansion's entrance was a spacious hall. There were more than ten counters on both sides of the hall, and there was a stone platform in the depths of the hall that was covered with complicated inscriptions and diagrams.
"You can collect your Accumulative Point Jade from the counters on both sides of the hall. If you want, you can look at the scoreboard of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm every month.
As for the stone platform in the depths of the hall, it's the entrance to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. As long as you're younger than 1,000 years old and possess a Profound Nether Mansion's Accumulative Point Jade, you'll be able to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Everyone can only collect one Accumulative Point Jade each month. Apart from that, each Accumulative Point Jade can only be used in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm for ten days. Once the time is up, the Transportation Formation in the Accumulative Point Jade will be activated and the holder of the Accumulative Point Jade will be sent out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Qi Tian Ming explained to Duan Lingtian as he looked at the counters on both sides of the hall and the stone platform in the depths of the hall.
Duan Lingtian nodded in realization.
"Lord Inspector!"
"Lord Inspector!"
…
Those who recognized Qi Tian Ming bowed at him one after another. The remaining people followed suit and bowed as well.
After a while, many people turned to look at Duan Lingtian curiously.
Similar to the Profound Nether Mansion's disciples outside, they were curious about Duan Lingtian's identity.
What kind of identity did Duan Lingtian have that made Qi Tian Ming, one of the ten inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion, bring him here personally?
"Is he an outsider?"
Many people speculated.
However, when some of them discovered Duan Ling Tian was only a young man who was not even 100 years old, they dismissed the idea. They thought Duan Ling Tian was just a young master with a powerful background.
"Help him apply for an Accumulative Point Jade."
Qi Tian Ming brought Duan Lingtian to one of the counters and said to the middle-aged man behind the counter.
The middle-aged man was an ordinary elder of the Profound Nether Mansion. He was stunned when he heard Qi Tian Ming's words.
Apply for an Accumulative Point Jade?
At the same time, under Qi Tian Ming's instructions, Duan Ling Tian took out his identity token and placed it on the counter in front of the middle-aged man.
"This is my identity token. I want to apply for an Accumulative Point Jade to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
When Duan Ling Tian took out his identity token, the people in the main hall began to whisper among themselves even though it was only an outer court disciple's identity token.
"He actually managed to obtain an identity token from a Profound Nether Mansion's disciple … It seems like this purple-clad young man has an extraordinary background."
"He's not even 100 years old, but he's definitely here to sightsee! Not only did Inspector Qi lead the way, but he even has an identity token from the Profound Nether Mansion. It's not easy to obtain an identity token from an outer court disciple. "
"That's right! Even Inspector Qi and the three Vice Mansion Masters wouldn't be able to obtain an identity token without following the Profound Nether Mansion's procedures unless the Mansion Master or the Palace Masters of the nine Great Saint Palaces intervened. "
"In other words, this purple-clad young man is directly related to the Mansion Master or the nine Palace Masters?"
"He's not simple! This purple-clad young man is definitely not simple! "
…
Although the discussions were not loud, Duan Lingtian and Qi Tian Ming still heard them.
However, Qi Tian Ming did not seem to mind.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian felt these people were overthinking things.
Of course, he also knew that the reason these people said this was entirely because of his age …
Why would a person who was not even 100 years old enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm if not for sightseeing?
"Inscribe your name on it first. After I've confirmed it matches the name on your Accumulative Point Jade, drip a drop of blood on it to claim ownership."
At this moment, the elder behind the counter handed Duan Ling Tian an Accumulative Point Jade.
As soon as Duan Lingtian received the Accumulative Point Jade, he could tell it was extraordinary.
