Liu Yu Tong nodded in agreement. As far as cultivation and martial arts techniques went, after so many generations of being harvested, it was practically impossible that there would still be any left. But it was different in the case of Spiritual Herbs. They could harvest a batch this time round, and the next appearance would probably be at least dozens of years later.
Especially this time. It has only reappeared after three hundred years, so there must definitely be a large amount of Spiritual Herbs just waiting to be harvested.
“What are the restrictions for entering the Devil Sky Mystery Realm?” Ling Han continued to ask.
“In simple words, the lower your ability, the easier it would be to enter. However, every time is different. Sometimes, even Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites could enter, but there were also times when even Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier martial artists were unable to enter,” Liu Yu Tong said with a shake of her head.
Ling Han thought for a moment, then felt that it was all right.
Firstly, he had not offended any Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites. Secondly, if even Spiritual Ocean Tier elites could enter, he still had Guang Yuan by his side. Thirdly, if only those in Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier and below could enter, then he had completely no fear. Even if he encountered such elites like Can Ye and the Eldest Imperial Prince, he would at least have the ability to keep his life.
Moreover, wasn’t Can Ye currently his underling?
Not long after, the Hu Yang Academy made an announcement, commanding all students to immediately set off and enter the Devil Sky Mystery Realm. Meanwhile, those who would be entering the center hall to sacrifice some of their blood were given the first priority. If too little blood was sacrificed, then a Blood Zombie would appear to spread ruin and destruction in the world, and by then, who knows how many would die.
Very soon, Qi Yong Ye, Li Dong Yue, Jin Wuji, Baili Teng Yun and the others all raced over to Ling Han’s place. They had all come from the Da Yuan City, so they were naturally intending to form a group and help each other.
“Yi, Brother Ling, your cultivation level…” Qi Yong Ye was the first to notice, and could not help but be extremely shocked. “Why has it regressed back to the first layer of Element Gathering Tier?”
Jin Wuji and the others all respectively sensed for Ling Han’s aura, and indeed, there seemed to be only one Origin Nucleus. Disbelieving expressions too appeared on their faces. They had only heard of people being stuck on a cultivation level and being unable to break through for a long time, but this was the first time they had seen a person’s cultivation level actually drop to such a drastic level.
Ling Han laughed, and naturally offered no explanation. He said, “Since everyone’s here, then let’s set out.”
“En!” Qi Yong Ye and the others were aware as well that Ling Han was very awesome in the field of alchemy. In the Da Yuan City, he was already able to subdue three Black Grade alchemists, and now he was even more awesome as even Black Grade middle level alchemists revered him.
From this aspect, what difference did it make whether Ling Han’s own cultivation level was a bit lower or a bit higher?
They all set out. Ling Han also dropped by at the Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion and invited Li Hao as well. It was only then that the group finally left the Imperial City and headed east.
On their journey, more and more people appeared.
The Devil Sky Mystery Realm was not all about good stuff like cultivation techniques and Spiritual Herbs, it also required a large number of people to make a blood sacrifice. Otherwise, a Blood Zombie would appear. Thus, no matter how strong or weak anyone was, it was best to donate a bit of their blood for the sacrifice.
This was a matter of national importance, and the power of the Imperial Family was already effectively in action, maneuvering the citizens of various cities to head towards the Devil Sky Mystery Realm.
After half a day, Ling Han’s group had finally arrived at the location of the teleportation doors.
Rather than calling it a door, it seemed more fitting to refer to it as a standing vortex. There was black-colored light twisting and turning within it, and it was about ten metres tall. It was an imposing sight. There was no front or back to this teleportation door—no matter which side a person jumped through, he would still immediately disappear as if he had been swallowed whole.
Ling Han nodded internally. He had never had the ability to create such a thing in his last life. Only almighty warriors of Shattering Void Tier were capable of that.
There were a few who could no longer wait and entered, while others were still waiting outside. They seemed to be trying to gather a group. Once a big enough group had appeared, they would enter. And before each of them entered, they would be given a brand and a map.
The brand showed that they were citizens of Rain Country, whereas the map was very simple, only marking where the center hall was located.
…The people of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North could enter through the teleportation doors that were scattered everywhere, so it was not just limited to the people of Rain Country. For example, Rain Country and Fire Country were neighbouring countries, and conflicts would frequently erupt between these two nations. It was unknown how many had died in these conflicts after these few thousand years, so the two countries have long become deadly enemies. Thus, whenever the citizens of these two countries encountered each other, they would definitely attempt to kill the other.
This brand was what was used to identify friends and enemies. It was directly branded on one’s arm and could last for about a month, so it was more than enough time.
The restrictions for the teleportation doors this time were not too low. Even those in Spiritual Ocean Tier could enter, but Spiritual Pedestal Tier martial artists could not.
“Ling Han!” A voice forced out through gritted teeth was heard, filled with endless hatred.
Ling Han turned his head to look, and couldn’t help but look strangely at the owner of the voice.
Feng Luo.
Did this guy have the life of a c.o.c.kroach or something? He actually appeared again.
Moreover, his two arms were indeed reattached, but it was obvious they were not very nimble. It seemed like they were simply glued on and hung at his sides, looking very out of sorts. After all, it was already very impressive that they managed to reattach his arms, but if they were still able to move as nimbly as if they had never been sliced off, then that was practically illogical.
“Hey!” Ling Han waved his hand in greeting.
At first, Feng Luo already looked like he wanted to devour Ling Han, but when he saw this, he was even more fuming with rage, wanting nothing more than to rush forward and strangle Ling Han to death. However, he did not. Firstly, he was not strong enough, and secondly, he could not raise his arms at all. In fact, if he actually exerted any force through his arms, his arms may very possibly simply fall off, so he could only huff in rage.
“Ling Han, if you dare to enter the Devil Sky Mystery Realm, that will be the time of your death!” he said through gritted teeth.
Behind him, the four Guardian Deities took a step forward in unison, looking disdainfully at him out of the corner of their eyes.
Eh, after not seeing them for over a month, the cultivation of these four people actually scurried up another layer, and made it to the second layer of Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. One had to understand that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it was to break through. For example, even for a genius like Liu Yu Tong, who also possessed the Three Yin Vanis.h.i.+ng Veins and was cultivating a Heaven Grade cultivation technique and also had access to a supply of alchemical pills from Ling Han, she would only advance by one cultivation layer after about two months.
How could these four actually manage to stand on even footing with Liu Yu Tong?
Ling Han remembered Feng Yan. This guy was also advancing unbelievably rapidly through the cultivation levels; could it be that he had discovered an ancient treasure trove, and even those around him could ride on his coat-tails and get to the top?
