Chapter 40 The Land of Origin (2/2)
”And the melee of three realms that began later led directly to the disappearance of the Land of Origin of the Human Clan and Devil Clan. So far, only the Land of Origin of Demon Clan remains in the three Realms. The location is close to the Kunlun Territory in the Mortal Realm. It is the Xuanwu Territory of the Demon Realm.
”After peace was restored in the three realms, the powerful figures of three realms finally agreed to use the only remaining Land of Origin in the three realms as an opportunity land for the descendants of three tribes. It is open every one thousand years and has clear restrictions on the cultivation level of the entrants. For the Human Clan, only those who have reached the three stages of the Middle-stage of Gold Core, Late-stage of Gold Core and the Peak of Gold Core can enter. As for the Demon Clan and the Devil Clan, the corresponding level can also enter.
”The cultivator who is eligible to enter the Land of Origin can stay in it for ten years and then will be sent out by force. At the same time, the Land of Origin will be closed until the next millennium, and then it reopens.
”The selection of the Human Clan began 10,000 years ago, and Immortal Allies established the rules. Every two months before the opening of the Land of Origin, the 'Martial Arts Contest' will be held in the Thousands Beast Mansion in Zishui Country, Kunlun Territory which belong to the Immortal Allies. The five people whose cultivation are qualified will be in a group. After competing with the other five-people groups, they will decide the ten best teams that will get the qualification to enter the Land of Origin.
”But there are exceptions to everything. There is a Demon Clan token that allows the holder to enter the Land of Origin without having to go through the selection, and the holder does not have to follow the rules of the millennium, and can enter directly at any time. More importantly, the person who holds this token can obtain the qualification to enter the core area of the Land of Origin. This token, I believe you have guessed out already, it is the Demon Emperor Horn that reaches the immortal standard level.
”The Demon Clan, classified with the cultivation, starts from the Little Demon Level to the Great Demon Level, Demon Spirit Level, Demon Soldier Level, Demon General Level. After reaching the Peak of the Demon General Level, the demon has to survive the ordeal to become a Heaven Demon, Fairy Demon and finally the Demon Emperor.
”The Demon Emperor Horn is the token left by the powerful figures from the Demon Clan, who once lived in the Land of Origin back then. The token is a qualification for the next generation tribes to enter the core area of the land. Because the age is too long, many Demon Emperor Horns are either missing or drained its Demon Qi. In fact, the number of Demon Emperor Horn is limited, and now it is even rarer to reach the eligibility criteria for entering the core area. The token in your hand is the qualification token for entering!”
”Initially, with this thing, your group of five people can enter the Land of Origin in Demon Clan at your own freedom. But if you do that, it is likely to cause you fatal disaster. After all, the temptation of the core area is too big. So, although I will give you this horn, I hope that you will be able to upgrade your cultivation to the Middle-stage of Gold Core in the next twenty years and find four companions. You will enter the Land of Origin according to the rules. If the time is right, you can consider whether to enter the core area. You have to remember that after using the Demon Emperor Horn to enter once, the Demon Qi inside will be completely dispersed.”
In the end, the founding father of Sword Character seemed to think of something again, and the tone was somewhat low. ”Do you know? The Sunset Kingdom in the Ghost Realm is actually the Land of Origin of the Ghost Realm. It is said that the Six Lands of Origin consist of clues to their connection. For thousands of years, there are countless disciples of my Immortal Palace who have entered the Land of Origin of Demon Clan. But the disciples who can live out have not found any clues to the other Five Lands of Origin. I have always suspected the clues are likely to be in the core area.”
After the talk, the founding father of Sword Character looked at Lyu Liang in a complicated way and seemed to want to say something else. But eventually, he looked up and sighed, and did not speak.
Lyu Liang had already understood what the founding father of Sword Character wanted to say but not said, without hesitation, he swore, ”Master, rest assured! If there is a chance, I will go into the core area to explore! If I am lucky enough to find the clues to other Five Lands of Origin, I will definitely come out alive and tell Master and Xuan Nyu Fairy! As for the Sunset Kingdom, it is a place that I will go to this life!”
”Good!” When the founding father of Sword Character heard the words, he slammed on the table and then raised his hand. A scroll with a quaint aura flew to the front of Lyu Liang. ”This scroll is handed to me by my brother after he returned from the Heaven Realm. He asked me to hand it over to his pro-disciples to gain insights on his Sword Tao domain. I have seen your recent performances, and you seem to have touched the threshold of the domain. Although you are not really counted as a pro-disciple of the elder brother, I have made an exception to give you this. I hope it will help you with the trip to the Land of Origin twenty years later!”
Lyu Liang was overjoyed! Domain! This was the method that Lyu Liang dreamed of comprehending early! He couldn't forget the power of domain that broke out when he killed the chunky blue-robed man that day. Moreover, at that time he did not know the concept of the 'complete state' of the magic treasure. Now came to think about it, if he combined the power of the 'complete state' of Feiling Sword and Gold-thunder Five-dragon Sword, the domain that had been produced, wow... just thinking about it made Lyu Liang fell amazed!
After coming out from the main hall of the Immortal Palace, Lyu Liang went straight back to the cave residence and began to recollect the words spoken by the founding father of Sword Character.
”In addition to myself, I still need four Taoism peers at the Middle-stage of the Gold Core. Those four candidates must be extremely reliable. After all, they will all have the qualification to enter the core area.” Lyu Liang quietly closed his eyes and contemplated. Immediately, Shangguan Ying's beautiful appearance emerged in his mind. ”Ying'er! You will be able to go with me for sure!”
As for the other two candidates, he had a few ideas in his heart. They were Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi who had gone through life and death situation with him! Needless to say about Xu Mubai, although they had only known each other for a short while, for his momentum of not caring about death, he was worthy of being Lyu Liang's life and death brother.
As for Li Wuyi, after this incident, Lyu Liang had greatly changed his impression towards him. On the occasion of life and death, he could think of letting his two followers go first. After that, although he knew that his cultivation had already resumed to the Early-stage of Gold Core, he still rushed to the enemy at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul in a daredevil way. By looking only at these two points, they were worth Lyu Liang's trust!
After a short while, Lyu Liang suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had made a great decision. His whispered in his mouth, ”I will choose three of you! As for the fifth person, there is time anyway. Fate will let us meet!”
