"The imperial capital of the Xuanwu Empire?" Yang Xiao was puzzled, "Master, why do you say that it is not easy to go there? Could it be that it is too far away?"

"The distance is one thing, and the other important reason is the so-called limited number of tickets!" said he smiled.

"Door...... Tickets?" Yang Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this.

I've heard of asking for tickets to visit a certain place, but I've never heard of a secret place asking for tickets.

Could it be that this secret realm was opened by the imperial family of your Xuanwu Empire? It's not right, Shizun said very clearly, this secret realm is a relic of a dynasty a long time ago. And how many years has your Xuanwu Empire been established, it should have nothing to do with you!

Seeing Yang Xiao's confusion, Dao smiled and explained, "The secret realm you are going to is rumored to be the remnants of an incomparably powerful dynasty in the past. And back then, a strong man of that dynasty once planted a sapling in front of the ruins.

Later, after some years, the sapling became a big tree, and at the same time it also had wisdom. With the fall of the imperial dynasty, the tree also fell into a deep sleep. Later, it was revived with the appearance of ruins.

"Upon awakening, the tree will bear a certain amount of fruit each time the ruins are opened. And this fruit is a pass to the secret realm. In other words, only those who possess the Talisman are eligible to enter the Secret Realm. ”

"Heh, there is such an interesting tree spirit!" Yang Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"It's not surprising," the voice of the Ancestor came from his ears, "The secret realm is actually the same as martial cultivation, it has a limit to endure, and it also needs time to cultivate and recuperate. That's why it's turned on every few years. And every time, the number of martial cultivators who enter it will be limited!"

"I see!" Yang Xiao suddenly realized

was thrown out by the spirit of the Yin and Yang Secret Realm before, and the other party had mentioned that the reason why he did that was because he devoured it so hard that it affected the growth of the spirit of the secret realm.

And this dryad spirit is very likely to see himself as the guardian of this secret realm, so its behavior of issuing "tickets" is easy to understand.

"By the way, Master, but I don't know how many fruits this big tree will produce each time, and how are they distributed?" Yang Xiao asked.

"It is said that when the tree appeared, it had not yet awakened. Even, it still has dark diseases left by the battles of the past years. It was a strong man in the Xuanwu Empire back then, who cured it of its dark disease. So, in order to show his gratitude, the tree spirit gave the fruits to the people of the imperial family at the beginning.

"However, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and after a long time, this matter has gradually become known to the people of other dynasties. At the beginning, the imperial family was still fearless. But later, with the continuous increase in the number and strength of the imperial dynasty, the imperial family finally could no longer wait to ignore it.

"In today's Xuanwu Empire, you also know that there are eight great dynasties under your command. And in the empire, there are many families whose strength is not inferior to that of the imperial dynasty, such as the four major families represented by the Xue family. Of course, there are also some sects. They all coveted this secret realm of the sea.

So, the imperial family came up with a plan, they would hold an empire-wide tournament after each fruit. All dynasties, sects, sects, wealthy families, etc., can send young martial artists under their command who meet the conditions to participate. Tickets are then allocated based on their position. ”

"Uh...... This move is really ruthless!" Yang Xiao said.

"Yes, because the Xuanwu Empire Imperial Family is the organizer of the martial arts competition, and the secret realm is on other people's territory, they made it clear that they will not participate in the competition, and they have booked a certain share of the fruit. The rest will be divided among other forces.

"So, to put it bluntly, this method is to let the young and strong people of other forces kill you to the death for a ticket first. After entering the secret realm, it will be almost the world of their Xuanwu Empire Imperial Family!" said Daoyi.

"Hmph, this wishful thinking is really ping-pong!" Yang Xiao's eyes were cold.

"Speaking of which, how should this tournament go?" Yang Xiao asked again.

"According to the past practice, those who participate in the tournament must be the imperial dynasty or a force of the same level. Therefore, when the time is up, each dynasty will first hold a screening within the visual range. Pick out the martial arts cultivators with enough strength. Then go to the imperial capital for the final battle. Depending on the outcome of the decisive battle, the tickets will be distributed!" explained Michichi.

"Do you want to go to the Shengming Dynasty to hold a screening......" Hearing this, Yang Xiao frowned slightly.

He and the Jun family, or the Emperor of Heaven, have long been on the same page.

And they categorically knew that with their own strength, they could definitely sweep through other martial arts cultivators and be selected.

In this case, will the Jun family let them go?

But if you don't take this path, it seems that there is no way out.

Originally, if he agreed to join the Xue family, he might be able to go as a member of the Xue family.

It's just that he rejected Xue Qianyun's invitation, and made a three-year appointment with him, how could he be cheeky to find them?

But if you miss this opportunity, the next time the secret realm opens will be ten years later, and you will definitely lose your chance with this secret realm. How can this be?

It seemed that he saw Yang Xiao's concerns, and said with a smile: "Xiao'er, are you worried about the Jun family?"

"Yes!" Yang Xiao nodded.

"You don't need to worry about this, even if the Jun family hates you again, it is impossible not to let you participate in the Imperial Competition!"

"Why is that?" Yang Xiao was puzzled.

"Because the ranking of the imperial competition, in addition to determining the ownership of the tickets of the year, more importantly, determines the number of people that each dynasty can send to participate in the competition in the next ten years. ”

"Oh! I see!" Yang Xiao suddenly said.

Just like a prestigious school, the number of students will definitely be better than that of ordinary schools.

For any dynasty, there is a desire to participate in the big competition can be a little more. In this way, you can gather more heroes, so as to get more tickets, and then get more opportunities in the secret realm, so as to strengthen your strength and form a virtuous circle.

And Yang Xiao also knew that the ranking of the Shengming Dynasty in the Xuanwu Empire had never been high. Come to think of it, the number of places must not be large.

Today's Jun family is extremely eager to rise quickly, so he must hope to get a good ranking in the big competition. And Yang Xiao's existence undoubtedly adds a heavy weight to this idea!

At this time, I saw that the order of Dao Yi lit up, and the master of the Heavenly Machine Academy sent a message.

Dao Yi glanced at the message and smiled, "Heh, what is the matter." Okay, Xiao'er, come with me to the master's place. The invitation from the Jun family has arrived!"
