Chapter 22: Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Standing on the ship, Qi Ming looked around. Clouds and mist surrounded him, and the mountain peaks were faintly discernible. It was indeed ethereal, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Although the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was divided into twelve peaks, they did not only have twelve mountain peaks. Instead, the territory was very vast. It was formed by mountain peaks and mountain ranges.
Moreover…
There were also many powerful and profound disciples who would occupy a mountain by themselves and establish a cave abode. Every legacy disciple and inner sect elder would have a separate cave abode or mansion.
“While we’re traveling, let me tell you what the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm is.” Xu Rong spoke.
Qi Ming and the others nodded. Clearly, they were very interested in knowing.
“Five hundred years ago. The Demon Court and the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had a conflict. The exact reason can no longer be examined, but an extremely tragic battle did erupt.”
“The final outcome of this battle was that our Heaven Enlightenment Sect obtained victory. However, the consequences of the battle were severe. The Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s losses were not small.”
“On the other hand, a Great Demon Cultivator died in the Demon Court. He was killed by several Grand Elders of our Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”
“This fallen Great Demon Cultivator was called: Heavenly Chief.”
“After Heavenly Chief died, his body evolved into the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm and was obtained by our Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Then, it was sealed using special methods.”
“Now that 500 years have passed, the concentration of spiritual qi in the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm has gradually decreased. Now, it can only be used as the location for your Outer Sect Assessment.”
“This…” Luo San cried out in surprise, “After he died, his body could actually evolve into a mystic realm. What kind of cultivation did he have? However, even such a powerful Great Demon Cultivator was still surrounded and killed by our Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Grand Elders.”
“Unbelievable.” Zhu Youde and the others praised.

Xu Rong continued, “Next, I’ll introduce to you the rules of the Outer Sect Assessment and the things to take note of in the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm.”
“Thank you, First Elder.”
“First Elder, please explain in detail.”
Qi Ming and the others quickly replied.
Xu Rong nodded in satisfaction and continued in detail, “Each of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect will send ten servant disciples to enter the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm to compete, so 120 servant disciples will participate.”
Xu Rong explained in detail, “The entire Outer Sect Assessment will be carried out in two stages. The first step is to enter the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm and select the top ten. The second step is to compete in the arena among the top ten to determine the final winner.”
“This is because the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm evolved from the body of a Great Demon Cultivator. It is even more suitable for demon cultivators and demons to survive. Naturally, there are many demon beasts living here. They are either strong or weak. If you encounter a Foundation Establishment demon beast, you must immediately escape. You must not have any thoughts of fighting.”
“Furthermore, in the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm, life and death are determined by fate. Furthermore, the twelve peaks are not united. You need to pay more attention to the Hidden Sword Peak, the Heaven Link Peak, and the Divine Smelting Peak.”
“Because the grudges between the Green Cloud Peak and these three peaks are relatively large, the servant disciples of these three peaks might even kill you. Therefore, you must pay attention.”
“Of course, what you should do depends on your own choice.”
“As for the exact situation, you will know after you enter the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm.”
Qi Ming and the others nodded and remembered Xu Rong’s words.
The speed of the flying ship was very fast. The mountains on both sides quickly retreated, and they even left the range of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect and gradually arrived at another desert-like area.
Qiao Yuxian walked over, her exquisite small face filled with a gentle and beautiful smile. She stood beside Qi Ming and said, “Senior Brother Qi, long time no see. This Junior Sister misses Senior Brother quite a bit.”
“Who are you?” Qi Ming looked at Qiao Yuxian suspiciously.
“Er…”
Qiao Yuxian’s smile froze on her face. She did not expect Qi Ming to have such a reaction. He had actually forgotten who she was. This made Qiao Yuxian feel extremely awkward, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
“Pfft…”
Tang Bing was unable to restrain herself and covered her mouth as she laughed.
“Senior Brother Qi, I have some information about the disciples of the other mountain peaks. I wonder if Senior Brother is interested in knowing?”
Qiao Yuxian took a deep breath and endured the anger in her heart as she said to Qi Ming, “Being able to know the situation of the disciples of the other peaks is still very beneficial to our Green Cloud Peak in the upcoming competition.”
“Not interested.” Qi Ming shrugged.
“Junior Sister Qiao.” Zhu Youde walked over with a smile. “I’m interested to know. Why don’t you tell me?”
“Get lost!”
Qiao Yuxian threw Zhu Youde a cold look.
“You…” Zhu Youde frowned. He was indeed asking for it.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Directly ahead, looking down from the flying ship, what greeted his eyes was brownish-yellow land. There was no vegetation, and it looked desolate, like a large desert.
At this moment, there were eleven boats surrounding a huge basin.
In the center, there was a floating building.
In the pavilion was the twelve elders who came to preside over and watch the battle.
“The Green Cloud Peak is here.”
“The twelve peaks are all here. We can begin soon.”
On the eleven Dharma Ships, when the servant elder of the other eleven peaks saw Xu Rong driving the Dharma Ship over, they exchanged glances and chatted for a while before preparing to begin.
“All of you can go.” Xu Rong said to Qi Ming and the rest.
Qi Ming and the others nodded and leaped down from the ship with Xu Rong. They stood on the ground outside the basin, and the servant disciples of the other eleven peaks also came from the ship.
There were a total of 120 disciples.
There were both men and women.
There were naturally those with high and low cultivation levels among them.
“Open the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm.”
A dignified voice sounded from the pavilion, “The Outer Sect Assessment begins. In this assessment, go to the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm to gather spiritual herbs. You will obtain different points according to the grade of the spiritual herbs.”
“The top ten can enter the final arena competition.”
“In the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm, most of the herbs are in the Qi Refinement realm. Only a small portion are Foundation Establishment spiritual herbs. They are also divided in detail: low, middle, high, and top-grade.”
“A low-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herb is worth a point per stalk. Every time it increases by a grade, the points obtained will double. Therefore, a top-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herb is worth 8 points per stalk.”
“A low-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual herb is worth 100 points per stalk. Every increase in grade, the points obtained will double. Therefore, a top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual herb is worth 800 points.”
“…”
Qi Ming and the others listened carefully to the sect elders explain all the rules of the competition in detail. The twelve servant elders formed hand seals with their hands. Spirit energy gathered and condensed into twelve flowing light seals that flew out at the same time.
Boom!!!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!
In the center of the basin, directly below the building, the twelve flowing light seals overlapped, producing a distortion of space.
…
A huge blue-black vortex appeared.
It was about four meters in diameter.
A suction force was emitted.
“Hold the Assessment Token and quickly enter the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm.”
The twelve servant elders shouted in unison, “Go!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
There was no hesitation.
The 120 servant disciples held the Assessment Token and jumped up. All of them rushed into the blue-black vortex.. Qi Ming was naturally among them.
