4514 The Realm of Origin Will Only Stay Open for Three Years
Hu Ming Yue was rather courteous and enthusiastic toward Duan Ling Tian during their journey. This was because he concluded that Duan Ling Tian’s master was a Saint after he heard that Duan Ling Tian’s master had comprehended the Sword Dao to the seventh stage.
Xue Ao and Lan Ming were naturally envious of Duan Ling Tian, but they were also aware that they could not compare to him. They also thought that Duan Ling Tian’s master must be very powerful after learning that the latter had comprehended the Sword Dao to the seventh stage. In their opinion, even if the latter was not a Saint and had not comprehended the law to the paramount stage, the latter should still be invincible among demi Saints.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was still grieving Duan You Wei.
‘Sister Wei… She wouldn’t have died if she didn’t return to the God Defying World with me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, filled with remorse and guilt. In the next moment, his eyes burned with the flames of fury as he vowed inwardly, ‘Sister Wei, rest in peace. I’ll definitely avenge you once I’m strong enough!’
Duan Ling Tian knew he could not let his grief hold him back. If this affected his progress, he would never be able to grow stronger to avenge Duan You Wei.
‘The Realm of Origin is my chance to prove myself to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion! If I can impress them with my strength, not only will I have hope of saving Ke’er, but I might also receive cultivation resources I need from them…’
Needless to say, a saint-rank force like the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion naturally possessed abundant resources that ordinary people could only dream of. Moreover, there were rumors that there were two Saints in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. If the rumors were true, as the dominating force in the Sacred Lighting Realm, its resources might even surpass all the resources in the God Defying World.
…
A few days later…
Hu Ming Yue, Duan Ling Tian, Xue Ao, and Lan Ming finally arrived outside of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
A thick fog lingered around the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, and at this moment, a group of people was gathered not far ahead of them. Clearly, these people were also sword prodigies gathered by the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
At this moment, Hu Ming Yue said to the trio from the Duan clan, “In fact, the Realm of Origin opened a year ago. The three of you are the second group of sword prodigies from one of the three major demi-saint-rank forces of Tourmaline Holy City who will enter the Realm of Origin.”
After a brief pause, Hu Ming Yue added, “The third demi-saint-rank force of Tourmaline Holy City will send their sword prodigies here after a year. At that time, they will enter the Realm of Origin with the other sword prodigies from the other territories of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion… It’s a tradition for the Jade Tide Mansion to send people into Realm of Origins in groups…”
‘No wonder there are only three of us…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. After leaving the Duan clan, he had been puzzled that there were only him, Xue Ao, and Lan Ming. He had wondered where the representatives of the other two demi-saint-rank forces were. After all, it was impossible for the other two demi-saint-rank forces to not have found anyone who comprehended the Sword Dao to the fourth stage at all.
“So three groups will enter separately? Why?” Xue Ao asked curiously.
Duan Ling Tian and Lan Ming looked at Hu Ming Yue curiously as well.
Hu Ming Yue’s expression was solemn as he said, “In the past, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion discovered a Realm of Origin. We gathered a group of prodigies who fulfilled the criteria and sent all of them in. In the end, all of them died there. After that, we decided to send the prodigies there in groups. Each group will be given a year in the Realm of Origin. As I said before, the three of you are the second group…”
“What?” Xue Ao exclaimed in shock before he said, “We’re the second group… The first group has already been there for a year so what’s the point of us entering now? Most of the things there must have already been obtained by the first group, right?”
Although Duan Ling Tian and Lang Ming were silent, they shared Xue Ao’s thoughts as well.
“Perhaps… We don’t know for sure…” Hu Ming Yue said with a nod, “Moreover, there are pros and cons to everything. Although the first group has higher chances of finding treasures and fortuitous encounters, they’re at greater risk as well since they’re entering first…”
Hu Ming Yue continued to say, “Alright, according to the agreed-upon time, the first group should be out the day after tomorrow. We’ll go to the entrance when everyone arrives.”
At this time, Xue Ao asked, “What if some people refuse to leave?”
Hu Ming Yue laughed before he replied, “That’s no different from seeking death. No one’s allowed to go against the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.”
“However, what if it’s a prodigy from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion?” Xue Ao continued to ask.
Hu Ming Yue said casually, “The sword prodigies of our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion will be part of the third and final group to enter the Realm of Origin. As such, your question is invalid.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Ao said to Duan Ling Tian and Lan Ming through Voice Transmission, “The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion is really careful to place their sword prodigies in the final group…”
“That’s not surprising,” Lan Ming said through Voice Transmission, “The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion doesn’t have to worry about us keeping the treasures they want to ourselves since we can’t bring our spatial rings in there. As such, we’ll definitely have to hand over the treasures they need to them. With this, why would they need to take the risk and send their prodigies in first?”
Lan Ming was right.
Finally, Xue Ao said out loud, “Three groups of sword prodigies, and each group has a year in the Realm of Origin… It seems like the Realm of Origin will only stay open for three years.”
Hu Ming Yue nodded. “That’s right. Before this Realm of Origin opened, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion had studied it and determined that it’ll only stay open for three years. As such, you must make the most of your time in the Realm of Origin. Later, the first group of prodigies will recount their experiences to you. That should make things slightly easier for you.”
