Daily Intelligence: Start by Obtaining the Sword Saint's Legacy

125: Five areas!”Because the Shanhai Secret Realm is being jointly attended by Prodigies from the Five Great Continents this time, the rules are also different from before.”

”First, participants must be Prodigies under sixty years of age. Regardless of strength, we will judge based on age. As long as one is under sixty, they may enter the Shanhai Secret Realm. If they are over sixty, they may not enter!”

Hiss!

After Yu Weihu finished speaking these words,

it caused a massive uproar at the scene.

Because they hadn’t expected the standards for the Shanhai Secret Realm to change so drastically.

The faces of many Cultivators over sixty years old turned pale.

”We traveled here with great difficulty; are you really not going to let us in?”

”This is preposterous! You must give us an explanation for this.”

”When the opening of the Shanhai Secret Realm was announced, this rule definitely wasn’t mentioned!”

The crowd below was incensed.

Many had prepared extensively for this Shanhai Secret Realm.

Yet, on this first day, the vast majority of people were ruthlessly filtered out.

This made them exceptionally angry.

However, at that moment, Wang Heng slowly opened his eyes.

The aura of a Mahayana Cultivator burst forth from his body.

”This was decided through joint consultation by the Five Great Continents. If any of you have objections, you can keep them to yourselves!”

”If you don’t want to stay here, you can leave immediately. If anyone causes trouble, don’t blame this old man for showing no mercy!”

His voice wasn’t very loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

The crowd’s previous agitation, dissatisfaction, and anger,

after hearing Wang Heng’s words,

vanished completely.

Setting aside how high the status of these five individuals was,

just considering their cultivation levels—

Mahayana Cultivators!

They were already the ceiling of existence in the Cultivation World.

After all, further up were only Undergoing Tribulation and Quasi-Saints!

Daring to cause trouble in front of these five—

who among them had a death wish?

Seeing the crowd’s eyes gradually clear, even carrying a hint of fear and lingering dread,

Wang Heng gave a cold snort, a smug smile appearing on his face.

”Please continue, Your Excellency!”

Yu Weihu continued, saying, ”The Shanhai Secret Realm has a total of one hundred thousand great mountains and eight thousand great seas! We have divided it into the Forbidden Zone, Core Zone, Danger Zone, Edge Zone, and Safe Zone according to the level of danger!”

”Each of these five regions is equipped with a teleportation array, which the five of us personally manage. You may voluntarily choose to enter one of these five regions!”

”Once inside, if you survive for ten days, it counts as a success. After coming out, not only do the Opportunities and treasures you obtained inside belong to you, but you can also choose three items from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion! Furthermore, you can join a first-rate Sect!”

”This is also a reward we offer to the Prodigies who emerge from the Shanhai Secret Realm.”

In fact, everyone was well aware.

This kind of reward

was also being paid for by their own respective continents.

With the Five Great Continents together, it was both a competition between Prodigies

and a comparison between the Five Great Continents themselves!

Everyone wanted to determine who was superior.

However, Chen Xian saw things more clearly.

It was fine for the Five Continents’ Prodigies to go in, but once they came out, they would become new Disciples of the major Sects.

Using the Shanhai Secret Realm to eliminate a batch,

and then taking all the surviving Disciples under the banners of these first-rate Sects.

This was simply killing two birds with one stone!

The sound of their calculations was practically hitting him in the face.

Of course, many people felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity.

Especially for Disciples from humble backgrounds; these Loose Cultivators were longing to enter a great Sect.

As long as they entered, persisted for ten days, and survived, that was victory!

”Next, the five of us will each stand in our respective regions. Cultivators who meet the age requirements may come forward!”

Luo Qingxue, the Vice Sect Master of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, was the first to step forward.

”I am in charge of the Safe Zone. Anyone who wishes to go to the Safe Zone is welcome to come to me!”

The Safe Zone of the Shanhai Secret Realm.

Everyone looked at each other.

That place was probably not much different from where they were now.

No danger, but likewise, no Opportunities!

Lan Daoxing stepped forward and said loudly, ”This old man is in charge of the Edge Zone. It’s considerably more dangerous than the Safe Zone! A friendly tip: this place is suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”

Hiss!

Luo Qingxue hadn’t mentioned what cultivation level her area was suitable for earlier,

but Lan Daoxing’s words could serve as a reference.

”What? Even the Edge Zone requires Foundation Establishment Cultivators?”

”Holy crap, if that’s the case, what kind of Cultivators are needed for the top three regions?”

”Among the Prodigies under sixty who entered, the strongest is probably only at the Golden Core stage, right?”

Great Master Xu Wang pressed his palms together and stepped out from the air.

He chanted a Sanskrit mantra.

”Amitabha! This poor monk is in charge of the Danger Zone! Please be careful, everyone!”

Xu Wang’s words already made everyone’s expressions turn solemn.

The Danger Zone—just the name alone sounded very dangerous!

Yu Weihu said in a muffled voice, ”I’m in charge of the Core Zone. If you don’t want to die, don’t even think about coming near!”

Yu Weihu’s words could be said to be even more blunt.

But no one thought he was being alarmist.

”The number of people who die in the Shanhai Secret Realm every year is countless! It only got better after it was designated as a Forbidden Zone!”

”Even so, of the people from the North Continent who go in for trials every year, the survival rate is only one in ten thousand. With such a survival rate, the Core Zone must be the most dangerous place!”

Wang Heng saw the expressions on the faces of this group.

A cold smile had already appeared on his face.

”Finally, there’s me, in charge of the Forbidden Zone of the Shanhai Secret Realm! I can tell you all very directly—”

His expression darkened.

”None of you should come over!”

”Even I might not necessarily be able to walk out of the Forbidden Zone alive!”

”Let alone you lot!”

His words were like a fuse,

instantly igniting the entire scene!

”What? Even a Mahayana stage expert can’t guarantee survival in the Forbidden Zone?”

”Holy shit, what exactly is inside the Shanhai Secret Realm?”

”I heard that a God once fell here!”

”A God?”

Everyone was filled with doubt.

But they didn’t feel at all that Wang Heng was trying to scare them.

The five people stood in order.

Behind them, five teleportation arrays appeared.

”Everyone, you may make your choice!”

A Loose Cultivator gritted his teeth.

”Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger. Rather than being mediocre for a lifetime, it’s better to take a risk!”

”I choose the Safe Zone!”

Everyone: ”...”

”I freaking thought you were going to the Forbidden Zone!”

”Damn it, why are you getting all fired up just to go to the Safe Zone?”

”Bullshit, just get out of here!”

The Loose Cultivator awkwardly walked over to Luo Qingxue.

As long as one passed the inspection of this Mahayana powerhouse, they could naturally enter the Secret Realm through the teleportation array!

Swish!

His figure vanished from the spot.

At the same time, people began to make their choices one after another.

Generally, the cowardly ones ran towards the Safe Zone.

Scions of aristocratic families or Sect Prodigies headed towards the Danger Zone.

Although they didn’t lack resources, they lacked reputation.

If they survived within ten days,

after coming out, they were, after all, heirs or closed-door Disciples of their Sects.

Who wouldn’t want to obtain such honor and status?

Of course, the vast majority of people went to the Edge Zone.

It was safer than the Danger Zone and offered more resources than the Safe Zone.

It was the favorite destination for these Foundation Establishment Prodigies!
