The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 69 Hidden Rules

"Are there any more regulations?" Gu Yuan looked puzzled.

The Great Elder nodded. "For thousands of years, the seven sixth-grade sects in Nanzhuo Territory and the royal families of the three countries have already reached a delicate balance. The younger generations of the seven sixth-grade sects and the royal families of the three countries can compete with each other for opportunities when they enter the Ghost Service Land, but they must not kill them, otherwise they will be hunted down by other forces. Don't take any chances. Each sect has mastered the secret technique of detecting auras. If someone's disciple doesn't come out, and you happen to have his aura lingering on you, it will be easy to find out."

"Uh..." Gu Yuan was somewhat speechless. No wonder Nanzhuoyu hadn't produced any decent geniuses in all these years.

Even in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, it is common for disciples to lose to seventh-grade sect disciples even though they have the same cultivation level, skills and martial arts level.

It would be difficult to come up with a genius even if you stay in such a mild environment.

As for those seventh-rank sect disciples, Gu Yuan could understand without the great elder telling him.

After all, the appearance of the Oni Island will be accompanied by massive killings.

It's not uncommon for people to just rob treasures and not kill, which has led to the island of demons not being opened.

The targets of the massacre were naturally those seventh-rank sect disciples.

This is also the reason why the seven sixth-grade sects and the royal families of the three countries are willing to let in those seventh-grade sect disciples.

Otherwise, they could have occupied more places and prevented disciples from other sects from coming in.

The seventh-grade sects were also helpless in this regard.

There is no other reason. Danger and opportunity coexist. If you want to expand the sect, in addition to disciples with extraordinary talents, you also need secret books of high enough quality.

And secret books like this can only be obtained in the land of ghosts.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

At best, the eldest disciple's life safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

As expected, next, the Great Elder also spoke about the unspoken rules of the seventh-grade sect.

He added: "If possible, try not to kill those seventh-grade sect disciples, otherwise it will be troublesome if those seventh-grade sects make trouble."

"In addition, there are many treasures and countless secret manuals in the Ghost Service Land. The sect will not let you contribute in vain. According to the value of your contribution, a certain amount of spirit stones will be given."

"For example, top-level human-level secret books can generally be exchanged for fifty low-grade spirit stones, low-level earth-level secret books can be exchanged for three thousand low-grade spirit stones, middle-level earth-level secret books can be exchanged for three thousand middle-grade spirit stones, and high-level earth-level secret books can be exchanged for fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Top-level earth-level secret books are extremely rare and can only be found after passing the final assessment of the Ghost Servants Island. Depending on the value, they can be exchanged for fifty to one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. The same is true for other treasures and spiritual medicines. Of course, if you contribute the secret books to the sect, you can still practice on your own, but you can't pass them on to others. Remember?"

"remember."

Although Gu Yuan knew the value of these things, he was still very surprised. It seemed that the sect was ready to spend a huge amount of money. A top-level local secret book was almost equivalent to half or even all of the wealth of a Spirit Sea Realm master.

But think about it.

A secret book of this level, even in a fifth-grade sect, is considered a secret that is not passed on.

If it were a martial art, it could be considered a sect's unique martial art.

Why would he care about a mere hundred or eighty thousand high-quality spirit stones?

A day later, everyone left the land and came to Star Domain Lake.

"Danger is always present in the Star Domain Lake, so everyone please be careful." The Great Elder used his true energy to remind everyone.

"Yes!" Some elders who had ventured into the Star Domain Lake had a deep understanding of this. It was filled with endless monsters. The appearance of level 5 or 6 monsters on the periphery was just normal. Going deeper, level 7 or 8 monsters often appeared. In the deeper depths, there were even level 9 or 10 monsters.

Of course, monsters of this level have already transformed and possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans. As long as you don't intrude into their territory, they will not easily attack human warriors.

Even so, Star Domain Lake is still extremely dangerous.

And this is also the reason why the Feitian Demon Sect sent so many Star Realm elders to escort this time.

You know, those who can be sent to the ghost service area are the future of the sect and the most outstanding talents of the sect.

Losing any one of them would be a huge loss.

No sect is willing to bear it.

The Star Domain Lake is sparkling and boundless. From afar, the sky and the water appear to be one, which is shocking.

"Xingyu Lake has existed since ancient times. It has a radius of millions of miles and contains several domains such as Nanzhuo Domain, Yunlan Domain, Piaomiao Snow Domain, etc. It is undoubtedly the most dangerous place in Nanzhuo Domain. There are many monsters in it. Legend has it that in the deepest part, there are even monsters at the level of life and death. Although our destination is only in the outer area, there are often monsters of level five to eight. Everyone should be alert."

As soon as they arrived above the Star Domain Lake, the Great Elder asked everyone to reach their realm.

I have to say, Star Domain Lake is indeed dangerous.

The group rode on the flying monster beasts and flew five thousand miles, when they encountered many monster beasts. Although they were intimidated by the power of the seventh-level flying monster beasts, they did not dare to show their heads.

But after flying twenty or thirty thousand miles, one level seven monster after another jumped out of the water.

Later, even an eighth-level monster appeared.

Fortunately, the elders were all very powerful, and they joined forces to send out a stream of energy like silk threads. As soon as the eighth-level monster was exposed, it was beaten to death.

After traveling another 70,000 to 80,000 miles, everyone finally saw land in the distance.

A skull-shaped island with a radius of dozens of miles was suspended a hundred meters above the lake, like an evil spirit.

"Ghost Island has been discovered. The Ghost Service Land will be opened in two days. Let's go there and find a place to stay."

The Great Elder had amazing eyesight and had already seen that quite a few people had come to the Ghost Island.

After a while, the flying monster landed on the Ghost Island. Gu Yuan raised his head and saw a skull that looked like a mountain. It was really huge, but he didn't know how it was formed.

At the mouth of the skull, there stands a huge illusory light gate, a hundred feet high, eighty feet wide, and tightly closed.

Thousands of people were stationed around the Ghost Island. They were dressed differently, including fiery red robes, green clothes, bright yellow, white and purple. The patterns and texts on their sleeves were different, representing that they came from different sects.

At this time, Wuqing Sect and Huoling Palace had already arrived. They were the closest to Xingyu Lake among the forces of the Black Dragon Empire. Of course, this closeness was only relative. There were still hundreds of thousands of miles away.

After all, it’s tens of thousands of miles from the edge of Star Domain Lake to Ghost Island.

Like the Feitian Demon Sect, the Wuqing Sect and the Fire Spirit Hall had thirty disciples each. Gu Yuan was most impressed by two of them, Li Daoxuan and Yan Chihuo.

Compared with the previous session, both of them have made significant improvements in their cultivation. Li Daoxuan, like Mo Yan, has reached the peak of the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm. Yan Chihuo, who is one year older than Li Daoxuan, has a higher cultivation level and has reached the late stage of Baoyuan Realm.
