Chapter 302: Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity

“Welcome to the Lower Heavens, Senior Envoy!”

The Sect Masters and experts there all bowed to this old man in black clothes after he descended.

This old man swept the crowd with a calm gaze before nodding his head and speaking in a nonchalant voice, “My surname is Nie. You can simply address me as Senior Nie, and I am from the Nine Array Academy, one of the seven Spirit Academies within the Spirit Heaven.”

Despite speaking in a calm tone, his voice sounded very clear for everyone there, almost like he was standing directly in front of them.

“I was sent down here to the Lower Heavens for one… No, two purposes. First and foremost, I will be overseeing the Mystic Realm, and secondly, I am looking for potential talents to bring to the Spirit Heaven with me.”

“WHAT?!”

The people there expressed immense shock after hearing Senior Nie’s words.

Senior Nie continued to speak, ignoring the peoples’ shocked reaction, “However, I can only bring a very limited number of people with me. Three people to be exact. Therefore, I will select the participants with the most potential and best results in the Mystic Realm to come with me.”

“If you manage to get selected, you’ll also have a chance to become a disciple at one of the seven Spirit Academies, and depending on your potential, you might even become an Inner Disciple straight away.”

“The seven Spirit Academies are the most prestigious and influential sects in the Spirit Heaven with countless resources and heavenly techniques. Countless cultivators dream of becoming a disciple at one of these seven sects, but one must go through rigorous tests before they are accepted as a disciple. However, you will get to bypass such tests and become a disciple immediately if you’re chosen.”

The disciples there trembled with excitement after hearing Senior Nie’s words. If they are chosen to go to the Spirit Heaven with Senior Nie, their future will surely be a successful one! This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As for the Sect Masters and Sect Elders there, while they were happy for their disciples for getting such a grand opportunity, they were also quite jealous of the disciples since most of them dream of ascending to the Spirit Heaven as well.

Meanwhile, the players there were even more excited.

‘If I get to ascend to the Spirit Heaven before I reach Spirit Grandmaster, I will immediately be ahead of every player in the Lower Heavens, and there’s even a good chance that I could surpass the seemingly unrivaled Player Yuan!’

The players thought to themselves.

“Now that I’ve introduced myself, allow me to tell you about the Mystic Realm.” Senior Nie said.

After taking a deep breath, he continued, “Let’s talk about the rules of the Mystic Realm.”

“With that being said, these rules are mostly rules set by the Mystic Realm and they are not something I— or anyone for that matter— have control over. You can consider it as the rules of that world.”

“Anyways, first and foremost, your cultivation base will not matter in the Mystic Realm. Once you enter the gates to the Mystic Realm, your cultivation base will be wiped, and you’ll have to start from scratch. However, this is only temporary since your cultivation base will return once you come back out. Furthermore, any spiritual energy you obtain whilst inside the Mystic Realm will affect your real cultivation base, so you’ll even see an increase in your cultivation afterward depending on how much you earned inside.”

After giving the people a few moments to digest the information, Senior Nie continued, “Next! Treasures are not allowed inside the Mystic Realm! If you have anything that isn’t a part of your body, you’ll be rejected by the Mystic Realm until you get rid of those treasures!”

“As for the third rule which is related to the second rule, just like treasures, you’re not allowed to bring your magical beasts into the Mystic Realm since they are considered as their own entity! Of course, you can bring your magical beast inside if you give it a token! However, that will take away one precious spot, so you’ll have to consider if that’s worth it or not!”

Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. What about Xiao Hua and Feng Yuxiang? Does this mean they’ll have to stay out here while he goes inside?

‘Looks like we won’t be able to follow you inside the Mystic Realm, Young Master.’ Feng Feng suddenly said to him.

“Unless we take the two disciples’ spot from them…’ she added.

However, before Yuan could say anything, Senior Nie continued, “Furthermore, only those who are below the age of 30 are allowed to enter the Mystic Realm! As for those who have magical beasts as servants, the magical beast must be younger than 100 years old!”

‘100 years old… I guess I won’t be able to go in after all…’ Feng Yuxiang sighed.

‘What about you, Xiao Hua? You’re human, so you should be able to enter… Unless you’re over thirty…’ Feng Yuxiang said to her.

“…”

However, Xiao Hua didn’t respond to her and remained silent.

‘It’s okay, you two. Even if you can go inside with me, I cannot take away the others’ spots. They earned it, and it’d be incredibly rude of us if we stole it.’ Yuan said to them.

‘I knew that, Young Master. I was only joking with you.’

“The next rule— once you enter the Mystic Realm, you have 30 days to show results and obtain points. You can obtain points by increasing your cultivation, slaying magical beasts, finding treasures, clearing trials, and many more methods. If you manage to obtain a certain amount of points, you will be able to enter the Mystic Pagoda somewhere inside the Mystic Realm. As for what’s inside the Mystic Pagoda… I cannot tell you— nobody can. Why? Because nobody has managed to enter the Mystic Pagoda before.” Senior Nie said.

And he continued with a subtle smile on his face, “If you manage to enter the Mystic Pagoda, you’re guaranteed to come to the Spirit Heavens with me so keep that in mind.”
