Volume 1 Earth Chapter 252 Secret Realm (1)
This time, it was an elder of the "Liu Gate" who commanded and organized the entry into the secret realm, named Liu Si. He stood on a small platform set up in front of the gate of the secret realm and gave an impassioned speech to more than 100 entrants.
Call on the disciples of all sects and casual cultivators, after entering the secret realm, to help each other, be friendly, and help each other, not afraid of difficulties to win glory for the sect, and seek benefits for the cultivation world.
"Dear young elites in the cultivation world,
Hello!
In this once-in-a-60-year secret realm training activity, you not only represent your own sect, but also represent the Federal Republic of the Heavenly Sect......"
Only then did Ning Ke know that the name of the Hidden Realm was "Heaven Country".
He stood at the back of the "Grace Sect" team, secretly looking at the practitioners of the other sects. These people are his competitors, and he, a duckweed practitioner without roots, has to be careful everywhere, and everything has to rely on himself.
Then, it was a female disciple of "Liu Men" named Liu Ji, who made the oath of this entry into the secret realm on behalf of everyone.
This female disciple is in her thirties, and her cultivation is only in the early stage of the yellow rank. At this age, it is rare for a cultivator to be so low that he can be selected by the sect to enter the secret realm for training.
When each sect selects people, the younger the priority. Even if there is no sect of casual cultivation, the age is not very old.
There are a total of 20 people in the "Quan Wan Sect", and there are 5 cultivators who have reached the Xuan level, except for Ning Ke and Heng Qian, the rest are all yellow-level cultivators. The cultivation of the Hengyuan monk who led the team has reached the end of the Xuan level, and he is a stable person in his early forties.
Judging from the harvest of the previous Secret Realm Cultivators, the cultivators in the middle of the Yellow Rank gained the most, while the cultivators at the end of the Xuan Rank were the worst; in addition, the age of the cultivators was inversely proportional to the gains, and there was no statistical difference between gender and gains.
Therefore, when selecting personnel, the factions give priority to the younger ones and do not deliberately pay attention to gender. On the contrary, the number of cultivators of the Xuan-level cultivation was not large, and the main reason for sending an appropriate number of Xuan-level cultivators was to prevent the "robbers" of other sects.
Each faction has its own inheritance and cognition of the secret realm, which is very different from each other, which is related to the location of the activities of the personnel of each sect;
However, those who enter the secret realm and can come out safely will have more or less gains. Some cultivators have leapt into a large-level realm, and some have obtained rare treasures, medicinal materials, spirit beasts, etc., or there are often exercises and cheats for cultivation.
Hengyuan, the leader of the "Grace Sect", distributed jade plaques to the disciples of this sect who participated in the secret realm training this time, and explained the use of jade plaques.
He spoke in a calm, concise voice, without a word of nonsense:
"Ladies and gentlemen, insert the index finger of your right hand into the square hole of the jade plate for a few seconds, so that the jade plate will be activated by you.
"When entering the gate of the secret realm, as long as the jade plate is placed in the "in" word seal slot to check it, you can enter the secret realm; when you come out, you must also put the jade plate into the "out" word seal slot to check it before you can get out of the secret realm.
"There are nine levels of secret realms.
"On each floor, there is a rectangular stone platform or similar check-in groove at the entrance, and when you enter, you must use a jade plate to check in. On the next floor of each floor, you have two options: one is the exit, which you can follow to get out of the secret realm, and the other is the entrance to the higher level of the secret realm.
"The jade plaque also has a life-saving effect: if you encounter extreme danger, crush it with your hands, and people can directly pass out of the secret realm and return to the square, if it reaches the closing day of the secret realm, the jade plaque will automatically shatter, whether you want it or not, you will also be teleported to the square pool in front of the giant stone monument in the square.
"After entering the secret realm with the jade plaque, the giant stone tablet in the square will show your name and the level of the secret realm you are in. When a person comes out of the Secret Realm, the name will disappear automatically, and if you are unfortunate enough to fall into the Secret Realm, the name on the stele will appear in red blood......
"No matter who it is, if you can smoothly enter the first layer realm to the ninth layer realm with the jade plate, and you can use the jade plate to check out the exit. Your name will always be displayed on the butterfly-shaped stone tablet in the square, and it will be passed down forever......"
The secret realm has existed for more than 10,000 years, and the inhabitants of the hidden realm have undergone several major changes and integrations, but so far, only the names of 183 people have been displayed on the stone tablet.
It can be seen that there are very few people who can smoothly enter the first realm and then smoothly exit the secret realm from the ninth realm.
Ning Ke listened very carefully to Hengyuan's explanation of the rules of the experience, which was the same as his lectures at school, no one knew when the bricks and tiles would play a role.
He took the jade plate distributed to him, put his index finger into the square hole in the middle, and immediately felt that his finger was stabbed by a beam of energy shot from the jade plate, and the jade card glowed with a few rays of light, and it was activated.
On the huge display monument in the square, his name is on it.
Ning Ke followed behind Miss Hengqian and became her "slave" and "follower". Even the identity of the bodyguard was not recognized by Miss Evergrande.
Duan Min, the son of Elder Duan, said when he met people in the square that he was the personal bodyguard of Hengqian, the daughter of the head of the door, which made Miss Evergrande very useful. When he was about to enter the secret realm, the young master of Hengxing, who came to see him off on behalf of the sect, presented Duan Min with a heaven-shattering thunder, and Duan Min, who was happy, couldn't close his mouth.
The explosion power of the earth-shattering thunder is no less than that of a grenade, and it is only available to the upper echelons of the sect, and it is extremely precious.
Ning Ke came down from the "Zuolu Peak" and was imprisoned in the place where the "Kuo Wan Sect" raised gladiators. On the surface, Hengxing and his family treated him well, but he was still a gladiator of the "Graceful School".
If he protects Miss Hengqian's safety this time, the "Grace Faction" promises to give him freedom.
When Ning Ke was teleported to the square from the chain bridge, and was caught by several petty officials who maintained the order of the square and sold into the gladiatorial arena privately, Ning Ke still belonged to the black-headed household, and he did not have the identity jade plate that the commoners of the hidden realm had.
To put it bluntly, he is an "intruder" that everyone can kill at will.
When he was bought by Hengxing, the gladiatorial arena "issued" him a gladiator's cheap status. - It is a silver collar inlaid with several pieces of jade around his neck, also called the escape collar.
This is the kind of "identity" that is not even as good as an ordinary domestic slave, and it is the same as the fierce domestic slave who is extremely dangerous, with an escape collar around his neck.
Some people jokingly call this kind of slave "dangerous slave", as the name suggests, it is the kind of slave who is in danger. In the slave market, it is also the slave who cannot be sold for the most price.
The dignitaries and nobles of the hidden realm and the cultivation sects all have a certain number of domestic slaves. Although domestic slaves have no status and are arbitrarily enslaved by their masters, they can buy and sell at will, but their masters are not free to kill.
If the head of the family dies and needs the burial of the house slaves, it must also be reported to the official for approval. And according to the identity and status of the head of the family, verify the number of people who can be buried, and trespassing is also punished.
Ning Ke learned about this from the mouths of the other gladiators, and he gradually came up with the idea of destroying the Hidden Realm, the self-proclaimed Heavenly Realm.
Many years later, Ning Ke really destroyed this society called "Heaven Country", of course, this is a later story.
When he didn't come to the hidden realm, Ning Ke thought that this was an existing paradise and a cultivator's paradise, but who knew that it was actually a hell on earth. He now understood what General Mu Lingfeng meant when he said, "The Hidden Realm is not a place you can go."
Here, the lives of ordinary people are like mustard, and the lives of slaves are even worse than livestock, and even the low-level cultivators are trampled under the feet of a handful of high-level cultivators.
Here the monks are respected, and the monks are honored by the three major sects.
In addition to this, there are bureaucrats such as the Senate. Although these people have not cultivated, they are ordinary small sects, but they dare not provoke.
In a word, the Hidden Realm is the Hidden Realm of the three major sects. They control all the resources of the entire Hidden Realm, hold the power of life and death in the Hidden Realm, and control the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Senate......
And Heng Qian is the daughter of the head of the "Grace Faction", and she is a princess-like figure. Looking at the whole hidden world, what other woman has a higher status than her?
If it weren't for the insistence of the Hengfei Sect Master and the Hengxing Young Sect Master, where could Ning Ke go to the secret realm with her?!
......
"Liu Men" was the first to enter the secret realm, followed by the "Qingliang faction", and the "Grace faction" followed closely.
The people who entered the secret realm of the "Grace Sect" had almost entered, and Ning Ke followed at the back of the line, just walked to the door, and was about to put the saucer-shaped jade plate into the groove of the word "enter".
Suddenly, Elder Liu Si, who was standing on the stage not far from the door, stared at Ning Ke with a pair of fierce eyes. I saw him, and shouted at Ning Ke: "Eh! cheap slave...... Dare to trespass into the secret realm?!"
Ning Ke carried a huge package on his back and wore the gray coarse cloth clothes of a servant—this was what Miss Hengqian had ordered him to wear. Among these young cultivators of various sects who are full of self-confidence and their faces are full of arrogance and longing, they seem to be too eye-catching, too vulgar, and too lowly.
Ning Ke couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard someone shouting, and his little heart couldn't help but beat.
He came to the hidden realm with great difficulty, and after several lives and deaths, he finally had the opportunity to enter the secret realm, and he was really afraid of being blocked out. In a hurry, he picked up the jade plaque from the stone platform and showed it to Elder Liu Si.
In fact, Liu Si had already opened his divine sense, how could he not see that Ning Ke had a jade plate on his body? It's just that he was very strange, such a servant whose cultivation had not even entered the yellow level, and a cheap slave with an anti-escape collar around his neck, could actually enter the secret realm!
He couldn't help but get angry in his heart, and he wanted to play tricks on Ning Ke and get angry.
"Adult, the little one is Miss Evergrande's follower......"
When Liu Si heard Ning Ke say this, he was even more angry! A house slave can actually enter the secret realm?!
How could he not see Ning Ke's status as a follower when he cultivated to the True Heaven like this? It was just that he had resentment in his heart. He has two sons, and this time he only won one place to enter the secret realm, and he is feeling unhappy about this matter.
"Roll the calf! how can a cheap slave who hasn't reached the yellow level be qualified to enter the secret realm?!......
At this time, there was already a strong Huang level early entourage of "Liu Men", grabbed Ning Ke's front placket and wanted to drag him away from the door......
