Chapter 2153: A Helpless Choice
Yellow Spring Cave is extremely important to the Four Great Forces. Whether it is the Ancient Land of Morning Light, the Shadow Tower, or the other two forces, they all highly value the resources within the Yellow Spring Cave.
So when Yellow Spring Cave opens, the Four Great Forces will go all out to compete for entry slots. The leaders of the teams are figures from the leadership levels of the Four Great Forces.
The War God of the Ancient Land of Morning Light, Lord Buddha of the Shadow Tower, the Patriarch of the Xin Family, and the Inspector of Mystic Moon Trading House. These people, of course, are not the most powerful or highest-ranked within their respective forces, but they are the public leaders of these forces.
After hearing Jing Yan’s asking price, the Ancient Land of Morning Light and the Shadow Tower also gave up on the idea of hiring Jing Yan. Jing Yan’s strength might be quite impressive, but spending fifty billion Black Crystal Stones was deemed not worth it. Hiring Jing Yan for fifty billion Black Crystal Stones would be too risky.
One month after Jing Yan and his group arrived at the residence near Yellow Spring Cave, Yuantong Immortal Venerable sent out a message: the Four Great Forces’ Netherworld Points Battle will officially take place in three days.
The Netherworld Points Battle is divided into three rounds, each with the same content. The Four Great Forces each send two members to compete. This points battle is not a direct contest between cultivators, but rather an entry into a Secret Realm personally created by Yuantong Immortal Venerable. Inside the Secret Realm, there are many strong Ghost Pattern Beasts specially refined. Killing these beasts earns corresponding points.
To avoid interference, members of the Four Great Forces will enter the Secret Realm in batches. Of course, to ensure their safety, the entrants are merely illusion bodies of cultivators. These bodies are condensed by the Power of Laws, so even if they die inside the Secret Realm, the physical bodies of the cultivators outside will not be in any danger.
But since the illusion bodies need to have the strength of cultivators, they require Divine Soul Power to support them. If they die inside the Secret Realm, their Divine Soul Body will be very exhausted, needing a long period of recuperation to recover.
Once the start time of the Netherworld Points Battle is confirmed, the atmosphere among the high-level figures of the Four Great Forces clearly becomes tense. This battle determines the number of entry slots for the Yellow Spring Cave, even one more is a huge gain. The Advanced Entrance of the Yellow Spring Cave has only nine entry slots, each of the Four Great Forces wants its slots to increase by one or two.
With the battle imminent, internal discussions within the Four Great Forces become even more frequent. They must now confirm the hired contestants, and at least the candidates for the first round of the battle must be decided.
Within the residence of the Xin Family’s high-level members.
The Xin Family Patriarch and others sit here, their expressions grave; the atmosphere in the room is quite oppressive.
Because up to this point, the Xin Family has not confirmed the candidates for the first round of the battle.
