"Lord Left Minister, the free-for-all competition has ended. Lord Left Minister, please show yourself and preside over the rewards!" After Yue Yuan announced the results, he clenched his teeth and bowed to the shadow left behind by the Left Minister in the sky.
Everyone who heard Yue Yuan's words, including Ling Dong, became excited. Just what were the rewards of the free-for-all competition?
What surprised Ling Dong even more was that Di Nankun, who was standing beside him, had an extremely strange expression on his face. At first glance, it was as if he didn't have any expectations for the rewards of the free-for-all competition. But when he looked again, his eyes were filled with doubt.
"Oh …" Before Ling Dong could think further, an extremely low voice sounded faintly, but it shook everyone's hearts at the same time. The shadow left behind by the Left Minister in the sky quickly became real.
"Yue Yuan, how were the results? Did anything unexpected happen?" After the shadow left behind by the Left Minister in the sky became a real shadow, he asked Yue Yuan this question. His voice was very faint, as if he was just chatting, but everyone's attention was focused on this voice.
"Lord Left Minister, according to the rules, a total of thirty-six martial artists will participate in the next stage of the Elite Battle. Every one of the thirty-six martial artists is still in good condition. They will be able to return to their peak state within a day or two.
As for the other martial artists who were eliminated, they were all sent out of the square of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion. Among the thirty-six people, not a single one of them broke through to the Constellation Realm because of the battle, "Yue Yuan replied.
When he heard Yue Yuan's last sentence, Ling Dong frowned slightly. The criteria for the Vermilion Bird Millennium Elite Battle was to have a cultivation level below the Constellation Realm. Why couldn't they break through to the Constellation Realm after being selected?
According to Yue Yuan's report, if a martial artist broke through to the Constellation Realm during the battle, they would immediately be disqualified.
When he thought of this, Ling Dong suddenly realized something very strange. There were at least a few hundred warriors who were at the peak of the Qui Star Realm. However, from the beginning of the battle until now, not a single one of them had broken through to the Constellation Realm.
Other than Lie Fentian, almost everyone else in the top ten of the soul contest had made it into the top 36. And other than Ling Dong, everyone else was at the peak of the Quasi Star realm.
Furthermore, the top ten of the soul battle had all entered the Little Yin Yang Paradise to cultivate for half a month. That was equivalent to cultivating in the Little Sky Star Hall for half a year. In addition to the intense battles, no one had made a breakthrough. This was simply too strange.
This discovery made Ling Dong feel that the Suzaku Millennium Elite Battle wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"Mm, not bad. You've worked hard."
The Minister of the Left's words almost made Yue Yuan cry. He hadn't just worked hard during the free-for-all competition. He had almost been cursed to death by others. However, he didn't dare to complain.
After he finished speaking, the Left Prime Minister's gaze fell on the 36 selected cultivators standing on the square in front of the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion. The moment his gaze swept by, all the cultivators felt like they weren't wearing any clothes.
"Very good. Among the tens of billions of people in the Suzaku Star System, 50,000 elites with cultivation levels that met the requirements were selected. After a series of bitter battles, the 36 of you are the elites among the elites. I hope that during this trip to the Heaven Secret Realm, the 36 of you won't disappoint me or Lord Suzaku Star Lord."
"Heaven Secret Realm?"
"What kind of place is the Heaven Secret Realm?" None of the warriors who were selected were fools. All of them were top geniuses. Naturally, they noticed the special words mentioned by the Left Minister — Heaven Dipper Mystic Realm!
Everyone, including Ling Dong, thought of one thing.
The reward for the free-for-all competition that the Minister of the Left had mentioned was an opportunity for the 36 selected warriors. An opportunity that even Yue Yuan and the other Honorable Realm experts were envious of.
Thus, many of the warriors deduced that the reward for the free-for-all competition was to enter the Heaven Secret Realm that the Minister of the Left had mentioned. However, what kind of place was the Heaven Secret Realm that the Minister of the Left had mentioned?
The Left Prime Minister gently pressed his left hand against the air, and the entire place suddenly became silent. The Left Prime Minister's voice was a little noisy as he listened to the discussions of the crowd.
"That's right, it is the Heaven Secret Realm. Every one of the 36 of you will have the opportunity to enter the Heaven Secret Realm. As for what kind of place the Heaven Secret Realm is, you will know once you enter. "
At this point, Minister Zuo paused. He glanced around and said, "Now, I'll give each of you three days. In three days, all of you must return to your peak condition.
Yue Yuan, three days later, you will take them to see Master Dian Jin and ask him to refine a set of soul protecting robes for each of them. There must be no mistakes. "The Minister of the Left's last sentence was directed at Yue Yuan.
"Once the thirty-six of you have finished refining the soul robe, I will bring you all to the Heaven Dipper Secret Realm. Also, for the thirty-six of you, your sects will be able to enter the third floor of the Nine Mysteries Tower as a reward. You all should choose as soon as possible." The Minister of the Left's black figure in the sky became faintly discernible again. It was like a wisp of black gas hanging in the sky.
"Farewell, Minister of the Left!" Yue Yuan bowed at the right time.
After an instant, Yue Yuan once again straightened his body. The respect on his face had completely disappeared, and what replaced it was a trace of coldness. "Within three days, all of you have to restore your cultivations to their peak states. After three days, I will bring you to see Master Dian Jin. At that time, if there is anyone who does not meet the requirements, don't blame me for disqualifying you. Humph! "
After saying this, Yue Yuan's figure turned into a flowing light and disappeared. However, when he left, Yue Yuan's expression became extremely ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Dong, I don't believe that I can't take care of you! Di Nankun, you dare to humiliate me in public. You will suffer sooner or later! "
For a narrow-minded person like Yue Yuan, it was already a miracle that he could hold on until now. By the time he returned to his home, it was needless to say that his house had been reduced to ruins by the gleam of blades and shadows of swords.
"Inspector, what kind of place is this Tiangang Secret Realm? You should tell us in advance so that we can be somewhat prepared when we enter the Tiangang Secret Realm. "After the Minister of the Left and Yue Yuan left, Ling Dong plucked up his courage and asked Di Nankun.
After these days of interaction, Ling Dong's impression of Di Nankun as the Inspector was no longer as cold and aloof as before. Instead, he was more approachable.
When Bai Yuhan heard Ling Dong's question, she also showed a hopeful look. However, when Shi Qianbi heard Ling Dong's words, he was slightly shocked. To be honest, even Shi Qianbi, his disciple, did not dare to speak to Di Nankun in such a manner.
"Tell us?" What surprised Ling Dong, Bai Yuhan, and Shi Qianbi was that when faced with Ling Dong's question, Di Nankun actually smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I can't tell you. Even I have heard of this Tiangang Secret Realm for a long time, but I don't know anything about it."
"Even you don't know? That's not very possible, right?" Ling Dong was shocked.
"Nothing is impossible. I won't hide it from the three of you. I have brought cultivators to participate in the Vermilion Bird Millennium Battle two or three times. I have also heard about this Tiangang Secret Realm and the Soul Protecting Robe two or three times. However, I don't know what this Tiangang Secret Realm and the Soul Protecting Robe are. "
At this point, Di Nankun's eyes were also filled with doubt. "Every time the Vermilion Bird Millennium Battle is held, no matter how many changes there are in the beginning, the final test is to enter this Tiangang Secret Realm. Every cultivator who enters will be given a Soul Protecting Robe."
"Is that so? Lord Inspector, since you have brought cultivators to the Vermilion Bird Millennium Battle two or three times, can't you find out what this Tiangang Secret Realm is from the selected cultivators? "Ling Dong asked.
Facing Ling Dong's question, Di Nankun still shook his head. "Ling Dong, if you can think of it, then those in power will also be able to think of it. Also, the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's estate has already given us, the Venerables, a strict order to not ask about the Tiangang Secret Realm. I believe those selected cultivators will also receive the same warning. "However, the worst part is …" At this point, Di Nankun's face was filled with bitterness.
"What's the worst part, Master?" Master? "Shi Qianbi was also extremely puzzled as she asked.
"The worst part is that, other than this time, when I led cultivators to participate in the Vermilion Bird Millennium Battle, only one of the 36 selected cultivators remained in the Tiangang Secret Realm forever. The second time, two were selected, and one came out alive. However, he didn't say anything, so I didn't dare to ask …" Di Nankun said with a bitter expression.
Hearing Di Nankun's words, Ling Dong's expression suddenly became serious. He asked, "Remained in the Tiangang Secret Realm forever? Died in battle? "
"Yes!" Di Nankun nodded heavily. "There are still cultivators who died in battle after entering this Tiangang Secret Realm. However, the probability of dying in battle is very hard to say. Some cultivators from the Astral Realms returned victorious, while some cultivators from the Astral Realms were completely annihilated.
According to the records, at most, 90% of the cultivators who entered this Tiangang Secret Realm died in battle. At least, all of them returned alive. It's very strange and hard to say! "
"Sometimes, it's a narrow escape, and sometimes, it's a narrow escape. How can the probability be so strange?" Shi Qianbi was very puzzled.
"Alright, I can't answer you even if you ask me. What you should do now is to meditate, comprehend and summarize your battle experience, and recover your Divine Soul cultivation base and Gang Qi cultivation base.
I don't know the specific use of the soul protecting robe, but I do know one thing, "Di Nankun said.
"What is it?" Ling Dong, Bai Yuhan, and Shi Qianbi asked in unison.
"If your Divine Soul cultivation base and Gang Qi cultivation base cannot recover to their peak, I will never let you refine the soul protecting robe!"
