Chapter 458: Entering the Royal Sacred Ground (2/2)

“Oh golden avatars of the ancestors, please accept my third bow.” After completing three bows, he walked proudly towards the Highest Shrine before the crowd without any shame.

Inside the Highest Shrine were eight old men with fully-white beard sitting down. They happily nodded their head.

One should be respectful towards the royal ancestors if they were to become the Divine King. Feng Feiyun’s action so far pleased these ancestors. They got quite a good impression of him.

Beiming Moshou lamented quietly: “Divine King, you really have a way with teaching, not bad at all.”

“Thanks, you’re too kind but Feiyun was already a good kid who understands propriety and respect.” The king smiled.

‘We’ll see.’ An indistinct glint flashed in Moshou’s eyes. He had made enough preparations for Feiyun to fail and die in the royal sacred ground.

Feiyun couldn’t become the successor in his plan. He had already chosen one among the three princes.

Meanwhile, these princes were already waiting at the jade stair beneath the shrine for Feiyun. The four of them finally climbed the thousand-step stair. They cut their wrist and dripped their blood into the cauldron.

Their blood boiled inside the cauldron and turned into red plumes.

“The ceremony is over and so the sacred ground shall be open.” Feng Chang shouted.

The clouds above the shrine suddenly trembled. The sky turned into a gigantic mirror reflecting an entirely different world. Four rays fell down, causing the four to disappear from thin air.

From beginning to end, Feiyun never saw the Jin Emperor. The number one of the dynasty was also heading towards the sacred ground.

This was a deep path situated in an endless expanse. There was no end in sight.

The three princes separated; all of them were at the young king level with extraordinary aura.

They released their divine intents and senses after leaving the shrine. They didn’t only hate Feiyun but also each other.

This was a cruel competition, no less than the one to be crown prince. The winner would become the next Divine King while the rest could only continue to cultivate in shame. Proud prodigies like them couldn’t accept this. If it wasn’t for the devilishly talented Long Luofu and Long Shenya, they would have tried for the crown prince position as well.

“So this sacred ground isn’t located in the dynasty. Looks like a gap in a secret dimension.” Feiyun was walking on the path and could sense the atmosphere of a separate dimension.

Low, intermediate, and high-level realms couldn’t produce spirit energy. That’s why cultivators who came in cared about their personal energy, not wanting to waste it.

Feng Feiyun wasn’t afraid of this. He had enough spirit stones to replenish his body’s supply.

After entering, he determined that this was an intermediate-level secret realm. The beast soul realm in the Wanxiang Pagoda was a low-level realm that spans for an impressive one hundred thousand miles.

An intermediate realm was much more stable than a low-level and was ten to a hundred times bigger.

There was no stabilized sky and earth but floating continents have been formed.

Of course, without development, these continents couldn’t give birth to life. One wouldn’t be able to find a drop of water here.

However, this place has been excavated by the royal clan for many years. More than six thousand years worth of accumulation from their dynasty was located in this place.

There were a total of twelve continents of differing size, quite far away from each other.

The largest one was 80,000 miles long and 48,000 miles wide.

The smallest one was 6,200 miles long and 5,4000 miles wide.

After six thousand years, the royal clan had only excavated four continents. They were working on another one while the other seven were no-man-land. The harsh atmosphere there could kill a first-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivator in one day.

The second he made it in, Feiyun felt several monstrous, suffocating auras approaching.

There were several super masters here with cultivation at least on the same level as the Divine King.
