Chapter 122: Entering The Dungeon (1/2)

Instead of going towards the door, Allannia went towards a blue orb that was hovering in front of it.

”Everyone, please pay attention. This is not only a formation to teleport people inside the dungeon, but it is mainly used to seal everything inside that space. This orb is the key to open the sealed space and let people go inside, however, once opened, it will stay open for at least three days, because that is the cooldown time for it to be able to seal the dungeon once again.”

Allannia put her hands on top of the orb.

”During that time, everyone will be able to enter and leave through this door as they please. However, if a party leaves, it will be considered as a direct loss. The place you are going to enter, is divided into three layers. The outer layer, is where the Profound Qi and Qi Transformation beasts are mostly found. This will also be the place where you will be hunting. The inner layer is where Mana Perception beasts and above starts to appear. I suggest that you don't step over there for your own safety, but if you ever want to win this competition, it will be inevitable to go at that place.”

Allannia stopped for a bit and continued to say after some seconds: ”However, remember this. Do not go to the core area. At that place only death will await you.”

Everyone felt the seriousness behind her words and some started to question something inside their heads.

'What if the stronger beasts leave their layers?'

However, that was an unnecessary worry. Each layer had a barrier that blocked the beast's path. Only the practitioners could pass through them.

Allannia started to put her energy inside the blue orb and some seconds later, the door where there was a blue void, changed to the image of a ruined forest. Everyone in the stadium could see the ruins that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Allannia finished opening the seal and said: ”Go in.”

It was an order for the members of the Secret Security Unit. They would be serving as judges and the first line of protection in case anything went wrong.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One after the other, ten or so practitioners entered the door in a quick succession. They disappeared in a flashy blue light, arriving at the other side a bit after.

Elyra gave looked towards Elyon and after that she gave one last look towards Seth, that was still talking with the girls and entered the gate.

”Leaders of the different powers and families. You are allowed to enter and observe everything that happens from afar, however, if you ever interfere even if just for a single second, I will able to notice it from here, since this is the core of the formation. The end result will be total disqualification of the entire party, so I advise you not to do anything. You're only allowed to act in the last case scenario, where your disciples' lives are in danger.”

Allannia continued: ”Alright, the rules are simple. Whichever party brings more beast cores, are going to be the winners. Quality matters more than quantity, so make sure to hunt wisely. Party number one, go in!”

Allannia started to call party by party and send them inside. The protectors of each group were accompanying them inside too. They entered to guarantee the safety of the individuals in the party or perhaps of a single individual only. Most practitioners participating were from rich families or organizations, so it was certain that there would be important people taking part on this event.

However, there were some groups with no protectors as well. Practitioners with weaker background could only rely on themselves to push forward and forge a path for them.

Seth's group would be one of the last to enter, since they were just formed. But the main factor of them being one of the last to enter, was to give some advantage for the elves against the humans. It was only natural that something like this would happen, since there was Seth, a Mana Control cultivator on the human's side.

Elyon entered the dungeon together with the five practitioners of his family. Naturally, Elydir was among them. Before he entered, he looked towards Caizhi and Seth again and wickedly grinned.

Seth was observing everything since he didn't disable his Soul Sense yet. He was using it constantly but in a small area.

”So... Can I call you Senior Brother Seth? Since you are Senior Sister's boyfriend...” Jiayi asked.

”Hm? Of course.”

”Yay! Senior Brother Seth, can you tell me how strong are you exactly? You are just some years older than me, yet I can't even see through your strength... You must be stronger than my Senior Sisters, right?”

All the girls looked towards Seth, interested in his strength. Ruolan and Xiurong were some years older than Jiayi, and they were Profound Qi late-stage cultivators now. At the time they were selected to enter the Glazed Lake, they were at the middle-stage only, while Jiayi was a Qi Gathering late-stage cultivator, almost an entire realm below them. However, Jiayi was already a Profound Qi middle-stage cultivator now.
