Chapter 1247 - Myriad Race Ceremony
When resources fell out of balance between sects or planets, the strongest decided the outcome. The Heavenly Dragon Sect's wilderness training illustrated this plainly: the sect allocated rewards according to results. The Heavenly Martial Institute's latest achievement had allowed every new disciple to share in those benefits.
"Besides blacksmithing, what other events are there?" Liu Wuxie asked. Because the ceremony distributed resources, he assumed it ran multiple contests.
"There's alchemy, talisman crafting, and martial duels," Elder Long explained calmly. "The toughest event is climbing the Divine Sun-Shooting Tower. Those who placed highly in any of these contests could claim enormous rewards."
The Myriad Race Ceremony carried enormous weight across the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. It reshuffled influence: forces that performed poorly lost not only resources but also leadership over planets. Because many planets remained unclaimed, cultivators shed blood yearly. The ceremony decided which factions would claim those worlds.
This year's Myriad Race Ceremony promised to be the fiercest in a millennium, drawing the strongest participants in living memory.
"Elder Long, did the sect master say anything about the True Martial Continent?" Liu Wuxie asked. He did not care to rule other planets; his concern focused solely on an interstellar teleportation array.
"He did," Elder Long said, his tone growing heavy. Only immortals could open an Astral Domain Path. However, the sect could construct an interstellar teleportation array from both ends to pull the True Martial Continent back into the Astral Domain.
If the sect master willed it, he could tear through the crystalline wall to send Liu Wuxie back; with the Han Clan's cooperation, the sect could then establish the array.
"What did the sect master say?" Liu Wuxie pressed.
"Everything depends on your performance," Elder Long repeated, relaying the sect master's reply.
In short, Liu Wuxie's results would determine whether the sect would pay such a price for him. He remained only an outer disciple with no contribution points or status. Even if the sect master were to approve, the council of elders would fiercely oppose the decision.
Constructing an interstellar teleportation array demanded a staggering amount of resources. Only three such arrays existed across the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, each linking to another astral domain. One could imagine the cost of the resource. Even the Heavenly Dragon Sect would have to commit its full strength to build one.
