Chapter 5534
- The old man nodded. “Both of us were Ten Directions Celestial Dukes when we joined the Profound Nether Mansion and entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He perished, but I managed to survive. After his death, I returned to the Simplicity Celestial Sect and became the grand elder before returning to the Profound Nether Sect to compete for the position of an inspector of the mansion,” he explained.
- Duan Ling Tian could sense the old man’s sorrow when the old man spoke about his junior brother. The old man seemed much more solemn as well when the old mentioned competing for the position of an inspector in the Profound Nether Mansion. Therefore, he nodded and said, “I see,” before he quickly changed the topic. “Old Qi, you said earlier that there’s a huge difference between the lower and middle realm apart from the cultivation base restriction imposed on those who enter... Can you explain how they are different?”
- “The lower realm is merely like a test conducted by the Profound Nether Mansion to weed out the weak peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials as the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials search for fortuitous encounters. However, the middle realm is where grade-six Celestial Mansions send their Celestial Dukes to kill each other to rise to the top of the ranking. The rankings of the representatives of the Celestial Mansions would greatly affect the rewards the mansions would receive from the Ten Major Clans. For example, if the representative from the Profound Nether Mansion ranks first consistently in the middle realm during the entire month, the Ten Major Clans would greatly reward the Profound Nether Mansion and its representative. Needless to say, the higher the rank, the greater the rewards,” the old man explained in one breath. Then, he further described the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to Duan Ling Tian.
