Free Web NovelChapter 231: Exotic Enclosure Region
As Tang Yin and Xiao Fei left the Pink Mist Mountain Range, Tang Yin seemed to be in deep thought.
According to the memories he had plundered from the Patriarch and Matriarch of the Pink Vapour Clan, there was an extremely important event about to take place.
The sheer size of the event was large, it involved several other Regions which were just as powerful as the Demon Accretion Region.
A Region named the Exotic Enclosure Region existed in between multiple powerful Regions, which included the Demon Accretion Region.
The Exotic Enclosure Region contained various heavenly treasures such as extinct herbs, precious ores, exotic Demonic Beasts, etc. The number of divine treasures contained in the Exotic Enclosure Region could make even Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators go mad.
The only problem was that the Exotic Enclosure Region was surrounded by a deadly fog. This deadly fog could kill even Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators at the slightest touch whilst being capable of injuring Law Domain Realm Experts.
After countless deaths, it was deemed that only Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators and below could enter once every 1,000 years. Any cultivator at or above the Principle Comprehension Realm would be destroyed by the deadly fog covering the Exotic Enclosure Region if they attempted to enter. There was also a limitation to the number of cultivators that could enter the Exotic Enclosure Region.
The surrounding powerful Regions, including the Demon Accretion Region, certainly could not resist the allure of the Exotic Enclosure Region. Thus, a multi-Regional war broke out between the 5 powerful Regions surrounding the Exotic Enclosure Region. The triumphant Region would naturally obtain the Exotic Enclosure Region and all of its treasures for themselves.
During the war, the death of Principle Comprehension Realm cultivators was uncommon, meaning it was rare but happened from time to time. As for Mortal Step cultivators, the death toll was too much for anyone to know the specific number.
Even after the death of 50+ Principle Comprehension Realm and even a few Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators, there was no clear victor.
Thus, all 5 Regions reluctantly decided to come to an agreement as further conflict would end the in destruction of all 5 Regions. Each Region would have 20 quotas to send to the Exotic Enclosure Region every 1,000 years. It did not matter who was chosen to fill in one of these quotas, as long as they fulfilled 2 conditions.
The first condition was that they must possess a Spirit Ascension Realm cultivation base. The second condition was that they filled one of the 20 quotas.
If any one of the 5 powerful Regions decided to bring more than 20 Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region, they would be met with the hostility of the other 4 powerful Regions.
The Demon Accretion Region’s strongest organization, the Celestial Demon Sect, had the power to decide which cultivators could fill the 20 quotas to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region.
Danger co-existed with fortune. Along with the numerous heavenly treasures in the Exotic Enclosure Region, there existed a high amount of risk and danger. The chances of successfully returning from the Exotic Enclosure Region were less than 10%, meaning that the mortality rate was over 90%.
Even for the Celestial Demon Sect, the death of 15+ Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators was a huge blow.
Therefore, the Celestial Demon Sect decided to allocate 10 quotas to themselves and leave 5 quotas for their subsidiaries. As for the remaining 5 quotas to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region, the Celestial Demon Sect would hold a competition for it.
The Celestial Demon Sect held a competition named the Exotic Distribution Tournament.
Any Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator who wished to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region to search for opportunities and obtain treasures would have to participate in the Exotic Distribution Tournament to obtain a quota.
The Exotic Distribution Tournament was quite simple. The strongest 5 Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators would obtain the 5 quotas to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region.
Most Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators did not have thoughts of entering the Exotic Enclosure Region due to the high mortality rate. Only those at the end of their lifespan or in desperate need of a specific resource only found in the Exotic Enclosure Region would participate in the Exotic Distribution Tournament to obtain one of the 5 quotas.
Of course, some Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators could harbour ulterior motives for wanting to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region. However, the Celestial Demon Sect did not care.
Any of the Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators from the Demon Accretion Region who were somehow able to survive and exit the Exotic Enclosure Region would have to hand over 30% of their harvest to the Celestial Demon Sect.
Therefore, the risk-to-reward ratio deterred most Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators from participating in the Exotic Distribution Tournament unless they had no other options and were truly desperate.
The location of the Exotic Distribution Tournament was on Sun Gazing Mountain, and it would be held in 3 months.
Tang Yin had a strange expression on his face. Within Tian Huang’s jade token which contained a map of the Bright Yang Continent, there was a brief description of the Exotic Enclosure Region.
It was stated that the Exotic Enclosure Region was actually the personal territory and place of residence of an extremely powerful Law Domain Realm cultivator. Even Tian Huang in his prime would not casually offend such a character.
However, this extremely powerful Law Domain Realm cultivator had already passed away. This was also why the 5 Regions surrounding the Exotic Enclosure Region dared to send their disciples inside to search for treasures.
’The 5 Regions should have kept the Exotic Enclosure Region being the personal territory of a Law Domain Realm cultivator a secret, only declaring it as a land of riches to lure Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators to enter.’ This was not hard to guess as even a Mid-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator such as the Pink Vapour Clan’s Patriarch did not know of this information. The Celestial Demon Sect and the other 4 powerful organizations representing their own Regions should have agreed to keep this specific fact a secret.
’There shouldn’t be any malicious intent for hiding this information. They probably decided to keep this fact a secret so that the Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators who are eligible to enter do not become deterred to enter due to the fact that the Exotic Enclosure Region once belonged to an extremely powerful Law Domain Realm old monster.’ Tang Yin speculated. Even if this was not the complete truth, it was probably extremely close.
Tang Yin wanted to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region. Although the Region may be dangerous, that was not the true reason for the mortality rate being so high.
The real reason why the risk of death was over 90% was because of cultivators!
Cultivators from all 5 of the surrounding powerful Regions would enter the Exotic Enclosure Region.
It was much more efficient to kill and plunder another cultivator’s treasures than to search for them in the Exotic Enclosure Region. This was the main reason as to why entering the Exotic Enclosure Region was so dangerous, it was not the exotic beasts or the traps inside, but the greed of the other participants.
The background of a cultivator did not matter either, the 5 powerful organizations sending their disciples to the Exotic Enclosure Region did not have a method to determine how they died. They would only know of their death since that disciple did not return.
Therefore, all cultivators would have to avoid each other like the plague. An encounter with another cultivator, even from the same Region, was 99% guaranteed to result in a battle.
Naturally, this was Tang Yin’s home turf. He killed and plundered cultivators to increase his own strength on a regular basis. Not only would he have a large batch of Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators to Devour, but he would also obtain extremely precious resources from the Exotic Enclosure Region.
The prerequisite for this however was to advance to the Spirit Ascension Realm within 3 months. If Tang Yin did not reach the Spirit Ascension Realm in 3 months, he would not be eligible to participate in the Exotic Distribution Tournament.
Tang Yin was relatively confident in advancing to the Spirit Ascension Realm in 3 months. He only had to merge his 9 Spirit Flames into a single pure Spirit Flame, then he could form his Soul Sea and enter the Spirit Ascension Realm.
After confirming that he wanted to enter the Exotic Enclosure Region, Tang Yin decided to go back into seclusion. He would advance his cultivation to the Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm within 3 months and arrive on time for the Exotic Distribution Tournament.
Tang Yin did not return to his old cave abode. After the commotion created by Xiao Fei’s awakening, it had most likely already been discovered.
Instead, he searched for a desolate mountain which did not possess an ounce of Qi. It was uninhabited, except for a few small animals scattered about. It was also brown, lacking the lush greenery of normal mountains.
Tang Yin quickly carved out a large cave inside. He then sent Xiao Fei out, ordering her to guard the mountain.
Xiao Fei transformed into a little bird and stationed herself on a tree branch. She appeared to be a normal, unremarkable bird one could find anywhere.
After doing all this, Tang Yin finally entered seclusion. He had a deadline of 3 months. Although there was no pressure on his shoulders, he felt a sense of excitement.
This excitement stemmed from his soul, it was the excitement one would feel upon knowing that they were about to advance to a higher realm.
Tang Yin swiftly peered into the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit in his mind. The method to fuse his 9 Spirit Flames was depicted inside.
He also noticed something, the Abyss Emperor Transformation!
He had already obtained this Divine Spirit Skill when he advanced to the 7th stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. He just did not have a target to test it on at the moment.
However, this would change once he entered the Exotic Enclosure Region, there would be plenty of targets to test the power of the Abyss Emperor Transformation on. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Putting aside the Abyss Emperor Transformation, Tang Yin focused on the method to unite his 9 Spirit Flames.
