"The Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition? Fighting with others? "Lu Ye asked.
As long as it was called a martial arts exhibition, it would definitely be related to fighting. If that was the case, Lu Ye would definitely have no problems. However, he would have to find out the level of his opponent first. If he was asked to fight against Yue Yao, he would have no chance at all.
"It's not just fighting. The Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition has a very complicated set of rules," Haitang explained. "However, it's true that your life won't be in danger."
"Senior Apprentice Sister Haitang, please explain in detail," Lu Ye said. This was an opportunity that Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai had exchanged for by shedding all pretense of cordiality. He naturally had to cherish this opportunity.
Haitang immediately told Lu Ye about the Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition. "Junior Apprentice Brother Lu, you must have noticed before entering Mount Fangcun. Our Mount Fangcun isn't complete."
Lu Ye nodded. At that time, he had indeed noticed this because Mount Fangcun clearly showed signs of being broken. After Haitang's explanation, he realized that he hadn't seen wrongly. The complete Mount Fangcun could be said to be a supreme treasure of the starry skies. It was extremely mysterious. However, for some reason, it was split into three parts.
The realm that Haitang was in was considered the eastern part of Mount Fangcun. There were also two other divisions in the south and west, both of which were called Mount Fangcun. Moreover, the people living in these two divisions were the Minimen Race, each of them drifting about in the starry skies.
Lu Ye didn't know what kind of foundation the other top-grade realms had, but when he looked at this realm, although there were many constellations and moon fairies, the number of sunshine was obviously low. There were only three of them. This actually didn't match the foundation of a top-grade realm. There were a few large-scale realms that had more sunshine than this realm.
However, in reality, the strength of the Minimen Race had been split into three because of Mount Fangcun. If Mount Fangcun was complete, the Minimen Race would have no less than ten Sunshine Realm cultivators. This was already the standard of a top-grade realm.
There was also another mysterious thing. Although Mount Fangcun was split into three parts, each of them drifting about in the starry skies, in reality, the connection between them would never be broken due to distance.
Simply put, even though Mount Fangcun was a supreme treasure of the starry skies, in reality, there was still a mysterious connection between them.
Using this method, the various divisions could easily contact each other. If they paid a certain price, they could even teleport cultivators to each other.
The Blood Tribe had once set their sights on this realm, and when this realm passed through a certain region of the starry sky, they launched a surprise attack with a large number of powerful beings. If this realm had only relied on the strength of this realm, then that battle would've definitely been disastrous. However, because they received timely support from the other two tribes, they were still able to force the Blood Tribe into retreat in that battle. Moreover, they also made the Blood Tribe pay an extremely heavy price.
It was also after that battle that no other race dared to have designs on Mount Fangcun in the vast starry skies. On the surface, they only needed to deal with one unit, but once the battle started, they would have to deal with three units. Who could withstand that?
When the Miniature Humans encountered external enemies, they were able to quickly unite as one. It was because everyone knew that even if the Fangcun Mountain was split into three parts, it would still maintain a mysterious connection. If one part of the mountain was taken over by an external race, then the remaining two parts wouldn't have a good ending, either. At that time, they would only be defeated one by one.
However, there were also some internal conflicts within the Lesser Humans. They were fighting over the foundation of the domain.
Mount Fangcun was originally a single entity, and its foundation was fixed. However, after it was split into three parts, its foundation was divided along with the division of the domain.
Most importantly, this division wasn't fixed in stone.
Due to that extremely mysterious and undetectable connection, Mount Fangcun's foundation was like a flowing river. It would occasionally flow to the east, the south, and the west.
This caused the distribution of the foundation to be unevenly distributed.
More importantly, the flow of the foundation could be controlled by humans …
A domain's foundation was directly related to the domain's level and strength. Even if everyone was from the Miniature Humans, none of them would wish for their domain's foundation to be weak.
Hence, many tens of thousands of years ago, an extremely intense and long battle broke out between the three Miniature Humans of Mount Fangcun.
This battle was not a common battle. It was a battle between the powerful beings of the various tribes over the domain's foundation! In such a battle, the powerful beings of the three tribes did not even need to meet each other. They all stayed within their own domains and controlled the flow of the domain's foundation.
It was like how the villagers in the mortal world fought for water during a drought. Everyone dug a reservoir in front of their own door. While they tried their best to preserve the water in their own reservoir, they also had to steal from the reservoirs of the other two houses.
This was a method of battle that outsiders had never seen before.
Haitang did not know what the final outcome was because many years had passed. However, that battle lasted for more than a century. During that century, whether it was Rizhao, Yue Yao, or Xingxiu, all of them went into battle. The cultivators of the entire tribe were delayed because of this.
It was rumored that the Miniature Humans were not on good terms with each other. This attracted the attention of the Blood Tribe, and a war broke out between them and the Blood Tribe!
With that battle as the catalyst, the three tribes finally had the chance to sit down and have a good discussion. They decided on the Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition. It could be said that this was a historical event that had been passed down for a very long time in the history of the Little Human Race. It was held every fifty years, and during the martial arts exhibition in the Black Abyss, the various tribes of the Little Human Race would imitate their ancestors and compete for the foundation of their domain, so that their domain would enjoy better treatment in the next fifty years.
The stronger the domain's foundation, the purer and richer the world's spiritual energy would be, making it more convenient for the cultivators at the bottom to cultivate. The domain would also produce more spiritual ores, spiritual herbs, and even spiritual jades.
Therefore, the Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition that was held every fifty years could be said to be the most important matter for the three Miniature Humans.
And the most recent Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition would begin in two months.
This kind of thing was undoubtedly very novel to Lu Ye and Nian Yue Xian, who were born in the Nine Regions. Although the Nine Regions was not bad now, it was still inferior to the domain formed by a Starry Sky treasure like Mount Fangcun.
Therefore, Lu Ye asked, "This Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition, is it only for Constellation Realm cultivators?" Otherwise, why would they find him?
Haitang nodded. "The ancestors who set this rule all agreed that the number and quality of the constellations can best reflect the strength of a domain. Moreover, the environment of the Black Abyss is special. Only Upper Realm cultivators can move around there. Therefore, this rule was set."
Lu Ye nodded in agreement. The strength of a domain could indeed be seen from the number and quality of the constellations. No matter what, the constellations were all in the Starry Sky.
Of course, there should be other considerations. At the very least, it was not suitable for Sunshine Realm cultivators to participate in such a thing. The Martial Arts Exhibition was held once every fifty years. If only Sunshine Realm cultivators participated, they would probably get tired of it.
The Yue Jade Realm was also not good. The battle would cause too much of a commotion. Therefore, the constellations were the best choice.
"If it's a Martial Arts Exhibition, how many people would each tribe send?" Lu Ye asked again. He faintly realized one thing, which was that the number of people sent should not be too small. Because Haitang previously said that a constellation that was scheduled to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition had a problem, and there was a shortage of people!
As a top-level domain, Mount Fangcun could be said to have a lot of constellations. If it were not for the large number of people who needed to participate, how could there be a shortage of people?
"Nine people!"
Lu Ye couldn't help but frown. It didn't make sense. How could Mount Fangcun not be able to gather nine constellations? One must know that there were almost a thousand constellations in the Nine Regions.
Of course, this was related to the special situation of the Nine Regions. As a newly promoted large-scale domain, there would naturally be a period of eruption of constellations. This was caused by the accumulation of too many Spirit Sea experts.
However, once this eruption period passed, the frequency of constellations being born in the Nine Regions would greatly decrease. In the end, it would maintain a stable state.
Seeming to have seen through his doubts, Haitang explained, "Although there are only nine people, not every constellation has the qualifications to participate. The Black Abyss is an extremely special place. In a person's lifetime, they can only enter once. A constellation that has entered once cannot enter a second time no matter what. Therefore, generally speaking, the constellations that enter the Black Abyss to participate in the martial arts exercise are all newly promoted in the last fifty years."
Lu Ye was enlightened. This explained it. Although there were many constellations in this domain, there were very few who were qualified to enter the Black Abyss. This was because the constellations that were promoted fifty years ago had basically all entered the Black Abyss. However, he quickly realized a problem. "This matter can't be absolute, right? If ten or more constellations were born in this domain in the last fifty years, then only nine would need to enter. One or two would need to wait for the next fifty years to enter. "
"That's right. Therefore, most of the clansmen who participate in the Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition are in the early stage of the constellation. A few are in the middle stage of the constellation. Occasionally, there would be a late stage of the constellation."
Lu Ye nodded. Under such rules, there would indeed be more cultivators in the early stage of the constellation. This also showed the difference in the foundation of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun.
The stronger the foundation and the more constellations there were, the more opportunities there were to choose from. The probability of a late stage cultivator participating in the Martial Arts Exhibition was also higher.
"The performance of the main division … has always been poor?" Lu Ye faintly sensed that they were almost unable to gather enough people to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition. Clearly, their foundation was not enough. In other words, in the last fifty years, there were no constellations left in the main division that could be used. In the last fifty years, only nine constellations were born. This was just enough to meet the requirements of the Martial Arts Exhibition.
Haitang blushed slightly and lowered her head. "Basically, we're always at the bottom."
In the competition between the three divisions, it was fine to be at the bottom once or twice. However, if they were at the bottom every time, over time, it would inevitably affect the development of the entire domain's cultivation system. When that time came, there would be a vicious cycle where they would become weaker and weaker, and there would be less and less people to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition.
Of course, the main division was not always at the bottom. Two hundred years ago, they were lucky enough to take second place. However, it was not of much use. To improve the overall environment of a domain, a mere fifty years was not enough.
After listening to Haitang's explanation, Lu Ye knew that this matter was of great importance to the main division. If not for this, that stubborn old man Chen Xuanhai would not have agreed so easily.
