Thirty years later.
Thirty years was not a long time for Celestials in the Devata Realms. In fact, some powerful Celestials could go into closed-door cultivation for hundreds of years or even longer.
In the Imperial Tutor Pavilion of the Profound Nether Mansion.
"Senior."
Thirty years later, Duan Ling Tian was already over 100 years old. The aura of someone who was not even 100 years old had completely disappeared from his body.
"Hm?"
Thirty years passed in just a blink of an eye for the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. After all, he had lived for more than 30,000 years.
30,000 years was equivalent to thousands of 30-year periods.
He had long grown numb to the concept of time.
"Even if I don't go to the Su Clan, I can still enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, right? I remember you told me that anyone below the Celestial Lord Realm in the Southern Heaven Territory is allowed to enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. "
Duan Lingtian asked bluntly.
"Yes."
The old man nodded. "That's right."
"How do I enter the upper realm?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"You just need a Formation compass to enter and leave the upper realm."
The old man replied.
"Senior, do you have a Formation compass?"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the old man's words. It was as dazzling as the night sky.
"Why do you ask?"
The old man frowned. "Are you planning to enter the upper realm?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "I'm planning to enter the upper realm to see if I can find a fortuitous encounter. After all, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lords have spent a lot of effort to maintain the upper realm."
"What's your cultivation base now?"
The old man's frown deepened. He did not expect Duan Lingtian to really enter the upper realm.
It had only been thirty years since Duan Lingtian had become a One Basic Celestial King.
Even with the resources provided by the Profound Nether Mansion, Duan Lingtian was, at most, a Two Forms Celestial King.
In fact, he might not even have a breakthrough yet.
"Three Talents Celestial King."
Duan Lingtian replied.
However, Duan Lingtian's words shocked the old man. "You … You've become a Three Talents Celestial King?"
Seeing the doubt in the old man's eyes, Duan Lingtian did not bother to explain further. With a thought, he released his cultivation aura.
Usually, with the Profound Divine Metal around, the aura of his cultivation base would be concealed by the Profound Divine Metal. If he did not release his aura, even the old man would not be able to see through his cultivation base.
"Even if you've broken through and become a Three Talents Celestial King, you'll still have a slim chance of survival in the upper realm. Unless, your attainments in the Laws of Space … "
Before the old man could finish his words, he saw Duan Lingtian casting all kinds of profundities from the law of space. He immediately shut his mouth.
"You little brat, you're really … abnormal."
With a wave of his hand, the old man took out a Formation compass and said, "This is the Formation compass to enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
"From today onward, I'll place it here. You can enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm through here. However, if you want to leave the upper realm, you'll have to return to the Transporting Formation you were teleported to. "
With a wave of his hand, the Formation compass fell to the ground.
The Formation compass did not look much different from an ordinary Formation compass. The only difference was that it was slightly larger. There were many small holes on it that were used to store Celestial Crystals.
As the old man raised his hand again, Immortal Crystals appeared in the small holes on the formation plate. They were dazzling under the sunlight.
Based on the old man's actions, it was clear he did not intend to stop Duan Lingtian from entering the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
"Are you going to enter the upper realm alone or with Huan 'er?"
Over the past 30 years, Huan 'er would occasionally follow Duan Lingtian to the backyard to fish with the old man. Her naivety and innocence had left a good impression on the old man.
After 30 years of living together, the old man had treated Huan 'er like his own granddaughter. Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, felt like Huan' er was more important to the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.
"I'll go with Huan 'er."
Duan Lingtian said.
"What's the girl's cultivation base now?"
The old man asked.
"A Six Combos Celestial King."
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly. Even he was shocked by Huan 'er's cultivation base.
For the past 30 years, he and Huan 'er had shared many Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills in the Profound Nether Mansion.
However, after 30 years, his cultivation base was three levels lower than Huan 'er's.
The only consolation was that his comprehension of the law of space was slightly higher than Huan 'er's.
Although Huan 'er had used the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity to comprehend the law of space, her comprehension of the law of space was not as good as his. Perhaps, it was because she was not human.
"A Six Combos Celestial King?"
The old man was shocked.
How could a One Basic Celestial King become a Six Combos Celestial King in 30 years?
Although he had lived for more than 30,000 years, he had never heard of such a person in the Southern Heaven Territory.
Even in the Upper Seven Regions, it was rare for a One Basic Celestial King to become a Six Combos Celestial King in 30 years with Huan 'er's cultivation base.
Most of those people had heaven-defying innate talent.
'It seems like the girl is the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that the Phantom Fox Clan in the Upper Seven Regions is looking for.'
At this moment, the old man was certain Huan 'er was Huan' er.
In the past, he was not certain.
However, now that Huan 'er had become a Six Combos Celestial King from a One Basic Celestial King in 30 years and the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory was looking for her, he was certain of her identity.
If she was not a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, it was impossible for her to have such heaven-defying innate talent.
The Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory was the reason why the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory had their eyes on her. After all, if they could bring her to the Seven Upper Province, they would be rewarded handsomely.
The reward was much better than the bounty that was offered to the public.
Even the old man, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion in the Profound Nether Mansion, was tempted by the bounty.
Based on this, one could just imagine how generous the rewards from the main Phantom Fox Clan were.
"How's the girl's comprehension of the law of space?"
The old man asked as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
Earlier, when he saw Duan Lingtian casting the law of space, he was as shocked as he was when Huan 'er became a Six Combos Celestial King.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the old man sighed in relief. "At least she's not that scary. Although she's outstanding, she's still lacking compared to you, little freak.
However, with her comprehension of the profundities from the law of space, she's not much weaker than you in terms of overall strength. "
The old man replied.
If it were not for Duan Lingtian, the old man would have been shocked by Huan 'er's comprehension of the law of space.
However, with Duan Ling Tian here, he was already mentally prepared so he was not as shocked as before.
"Senior, please tell me more about the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the old man.
"The upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm …"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the old man patiently explained the upper realm to Duan Lingtian.
The upper realm was different from the middle and lower realms of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. It was meant for the Southern Heaven Territory.
Anyone in the Southern Heaven Territory would be able to enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm as long as they possessed a Formation plate that allowed them to travel to and from the upper realm.
There was no scoreboard in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
However, unlike the middle realm, the upper realm had a scoreboard. Unlike the middle realm, the upper realm had a scoreboard that was only updated once a year.
"Once you enter the upper realm, you'll appear in a safe zone. Fighting is prohibited in the safe zone. Anyone who dares to make a move will be killed by the Killing Formation.
No matter how powerful a Ten Directions Celestial King is, he won't be able to escape from the Killing Formation.
This is because the Killing Formation was set up by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord. "
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the old man's words. One could easily imagine how powerful the Killing Formation set up by a titled Celestial Lord was.
"Once you're in the safe zone, you'll be able to obtain an Identity Jade Token. Carve your name on the Identity Jade Token and drip your blood on it to claim ownership of it. It'll follow you until the scoreboard is refreshed.
Before the scoreboard is refreshed, those who rank in the top ten in the previous year will be guided to a secret realm left behind by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord.
You'll be able to obtain Royal Grade Celestial Weapons and purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapons in the secret realm. Apart from that, there are also many rare Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills that the Profound Nether Mansion can't provide.
Naturally, those who rank in the top ten will receive the highest reward. The other 20 people who rank in the top 30 will also receive the highest reward. They'll be able to enter a secret realm that's ranked at a lower level.
As for the other 70 people who rank in the top 100, they'll be able to enter a secret realm that's ranked at a lower level.
In fact, the rewards in the two secret realms are not necessarily worse than the rewards in the top ten secret realms. However, they're much more dangerous.
This is especially true for the secret realm where the top 70 people will be able to enter. Many of the trials will require more than 30 people to work together to pass.
As for the top 10 people, as long as they're strong enough, they'll be able to pass all the trials in the secret realm.
Naturally, the Celestial Kings in the Southern Heaven Territory won't be able to enter the upper realm if only those who rank in the scoreboard have fortuitous encounters are allowed to enter the upper realm. After all, even if one doesn't enter the secret realm, there's still a chance to obtain many treasures in the upper realm.
Although the Illusory Formation will change the location of the treasures, if only one person sees it, they'll be able to keep it for themselves. However, if more than one person sees it, they'll have to fight for it. "
The old man paused for a moment to allow Duan Lingtian to digest the information before he continued.
"Apart from that, the upper realm is similar to the middle realm. If you don't want to be killed, you can leave by crushing your Identity Jade Token.
The place you'll exit from is where the Formation compass you used to enter the upper realm is located.
If you don't crush your Identity Jade Token, you'll have to return to the safe zone and use the Transportation Formation there. "
At this point, the old man had basically finished explaining everything he knew.
