The first batch of disciples were about to ascend to the Cloud River Realm. When they arrived at the Cloud River Battlefield, they could come to Ameliorate Arcane Glade and cultivate their powers. When they were powerful enough, they could go out there and acquire cultivation resources on their own.

Lu Ye had come to where he was through his hard work, but he was also lucky as he had Heavens’ blessing. The other disciples of the Crimson Blood Sect didn’t have the same luck.

By making the Arcane Glade a better place, he could help his Junior Brothers and Sisters make fewer mistakes and grow their powers more quickly.

He supposed it would be sufficient when the Arcane Glade could accommodate around 100 people.

Most of the time, cultivators wouldn’t stay in the same place to cultivate their powers. They needed to go out there and get some training. As such, even if many disciples were going to become Cloud River Realm Masters, only a small number of people would stay in this Arcane Glade on the Cloud River Battlefield at the same time.

The Arcane Glade would only be fully expanded in three to five days.

Li Baxian was heading to the Divine Opportunity Column. It was apparent that he was ready to trade battle points for Amulets.

Lu Ye followed him while looking into his Battlefield Imprint.

Name: Lu Yi Ye

Identity: Disciple of the Crimson Blood Sect

Cultivation: Eighth-Order Cloud River Realm Master

Location: Cloud River Battlefield

Contribution points: 116,245

Battle points: 186,472

The Contribution points were roughly the same as the last time he checked since he didn’t use the points recently. However, he had gained quite a lot of battle points.

He remembered that after he purchased some Golden Amulets from the Hall of Battle Points previously, he was left with 3,232 battle points. Following his participation in the Fight for Supremacy, he only obtained several thousand battle points.

But now, he had over 180,000 battle points.

Certainly, he wouldn’t get so many battle points by killing Corpse Race members alone. After all, even the Golden Corpse King was only equivalent to a Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Master. His death would only bring Lu Ye 60 battle points.

However, the death of the Golden Corpse King was an important milestone in the annihilation of the Corpse Race. Therefore, the Heavens gave Lu Ye a huge reward for that.

Lu Ye acquired around 10,000 battle points for killing the Iron Corpse Marshal, and he got over 100,000 battle points for destroying the Golden Corpse King. The rest of the points came from his killing other Corpse Race members.

The nine of them were the first people to be sent to the Peerless Continent. Lu Ye had no idea how many battle points the others got, but he was certain no one obtained more battle points than he did. That was because he was the main contributor to the death of the Golden Corpse King in the final battle.

Based on the exchange ratio in the Hall of Battle Points, 180,000 battle points could be traded for more than ten Golden Amulets.

He had acquired 20 Golden Amulets for being the winner in the Fight for Supremacy, and he hadn’t used them at all. The amount of Golden Amulets could help him make it to the Real Lake Realm, and he would have some left.

The benefits he acquired from the trip to the Peerless Continent were not limited to the battle points in his Battlefield Imprint. There was one more thing.

In comparison, it was probably the biggest benefit.

When he passed through the door outside Purple Star Palace and returned to Jiu Zhou, a message exploded in his mind. The content of the message made him excited and expectant.

“I’ll go back to my place and cultivate, Little Junior Brother,” Li Baxian said after he was done purchasing Amulets.

Lu Ye snapped back to reality and replied, “Alright, Senior Brother.”

After Li Baxian was gone, Lu Ye stepped forward and pressed his hand against the Divine Opportunity Column. Instead of entering the Hall of Battle Points, he connected his soul to the Vault of Providence first.

It was his habit to purchase some Mystic Flames and Core Flames from the Vault of Providence from time to time.

However, after he spent a lot of Contribution points to purchase Flames of Earthen Spirits previously, it was hard for him to buy them in bulk again.

He wasn’t so lucky this time as he could only buy more than ten Mystic Flames and Core Flames in total, which cost him over 10,000 Contribution points.

These were the fuel for the Tree of Glyphs. Due to the lack of it, there was still a Glyph at the fledgling stage that hadn’t been fully ignited.

Lu Ye was excited to find out what the fledgling Glyph would turn out to be. That was because a Glyph that required many leaves to carry was complicated, and it was usually useful.

Soar and Phoenix, which he had mastered, were such Glyphs.

Then, it cost him another 10,000 Contribution points to buy Mutant Cores for Amber. What he was about to do next was important and exciting.

Just as he was ready to leave the Vault of Providence and connect his soul to the Hall of Battle Points, he recalled something and hurriedly ran a search. Soon, he found his targets.

The meat of Red-eyed Silverback Wolf and Anaconda respectively cost 5,000 and 8,000 Contribution points.

…

He spent around 20,000 Contribution points to buy four pieces of meat that came from Spirit Beasts. There was no doubt it was costly. Moreover, he had never heard of the names of those Spirit Beasts before. The meat contained very pure power, which showed that the meat came from Spirit Beasts in the Real Lake Realm.

Those were Master-class Spirit Beasts, so Lu Ye was unable to come into contact with them.

He certainly felt the pain of having to spend so many Contribution points, but if his idea was feasible, he might get some handsome rewards in return.

[Hall of Battle Points!] He read it out in his mind. The view around him shifted for a moment before stabilising.

An ancient, hefty door was before his eyes, and the place looked desolate. Right above the door, there was a rusty plaque with the words ‘Hall of Battle Points’ written on it.

The door was flanked by two Flood Dragons. They seemed to be asleep.

The arrival of Lu Ye had apparently surprised them as they opened their eyes at the same time.

A murderous intent swept across Lu Ye, sending a chill down his spine.

Having experienced the same thing before, Lu Ye managed to calm down quickly. He was even in the mood to study these Flood Dragons, which were fixed to the door frame.

He was in a rush the last time he was here, so he didn’t spend time studying them.

Upon closer inspection, he realised that even though the two Flood Dragons appeared identical at first glance, they were slightly different.

There was a golden glow on the forehead of the Flood Dragon on the left while the one on the right had a silver glow on its forehead.

[Are they Golden and Silver Flood Dragons?] Lu Ye thought.

“Greetings, Seniors!” Lu Ye saluted them respectfully.

The last time he was here, he decided that he wouldn’t want to offend the two of them. Although they looked like they were trapped in this place, they were immensely powerful. Lu Ye speculated that they were Warlord-class beings.

It was said that Phoenixes without feathers were inferior to chickens, but anyway, these two Flood Dragons were the ones guarding the door of the Hall of Battle Points.

Lu Ye would probably come to this place often, so he’d better not offend them.

In fact, he should strive to be on good terms with them. The two Flood Dragons had been around in this place for countless years, so they must be aware of many secrets.

Perhaps Lu Ye would need their guidance or help in the future.

“This brat is here again.” The Golden Flood Dragon on the left appeared playful as it sized up Lu Ye with its golden pupils.

“He’s still alive!” The Silver Flood Dragon spoke Human language as well. The last time Lu Ye was here, the Flood Dragon had said that it wondered if Lu Ye could live a long life. To these Flood Dragons, it wasn’t a good thing to be able to enter the Hall of Battle Points. That was a sign that the person would be dead soon.

“He’s become more powerful as well. That’s interesting.” The Golden Flood Dragon stuck out its body from the door frame and swirled around Lu Ye. Its huge head was almost against Lu Ye’s forehead as it hissed.

With a dispassionate expression, Lu Ye said, “Thanks for your concern, Seniors. I’ve been doing great, and my power has slightly increased because of some opportunities.”

“Concern?” The Golden Flood Dragon looked like it was startled, and then it started laughing. It turned around and said to the Silver Flood Dragon, “He said we’re concerned about him!”

The Silver Flood Dragon said, “Well, strictly speaking, we’re indeed concerned about when he’ll die.”

The Golden Flood Dragon whirled around and glanced at Lu Ye. “Don’t die too soon. We’re betting on whether you’ll die in three years.”

Lu Ye asked curiously, “Which one of you thinks I’ll be alive and kicking?”

The Golden Flood Dragon sneered. “The one over there thinks you’ll die in three years, and I believe you’ll die after three years!”

Lu Ye nodded. “I see.”

Both of them believed that he would die. The only difference was when they thought he would die.

“Since it’s such an interesting bet, why don’t I take part in it as well?”

“Well, you’d like to join in the fun as well?”

“I believe that I’ll live for ten years, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, or even longer.”

There was a hint of hostility behind the Silver Flood Dragon’s gaze. “Brat, since it’s a bet, what’s your wager?”

“What about these things?” As Lu Ye spoke, he fished out the four pieces of meat he had purchased from the Vault of Providence. “Whenever I come here in the future, I’ll bring you some food. Let’s take that as a wager.”

“It’s not like we…” The Golden Flood Dragon shut its mouth before it could finish speaking because it was drooling.

The two of them had been trapped here for thousands of years. Although some Humans had visited this place in the past, they were always in a hurry. None of them had thought about bringing food to these Flood Dragons.

It wasn’t like they would ask for food from those people. Although they were trapped, they were still proud.

It wasn’t until now that someone actually brought them food.

They hadn’t smelled blood for thousands of years, so they had almost forgotten what meat tasted like. Furthermore, the meat Lu Ye had brought wasn’t ordinary. All the meat was from Master-class Spirit Beasts. Naturally, they were tempted.

As the Golden Flood Dragon spoke, Lu Ye tossed the meat at them. The two of them took the meat and chewed on it while the Golden Flood Dragon continued in a muffled voice, “Don’t even think about bribing us!”

“Wow, it’s delicious!” The Silver Flood Dragon nodded repeatedly.

A gratified Lu Ye looked at them with a smile. He could now confirm that the two Flood Dragons were living creatures, but they were trapped here and responsible for guarding the door of the Hall of Battle Points for some reason.

Now, they no longer looked condescending and savage. Having been starved for thousands of years, they had no manners to speak of when they ate.

They soon gobbled down all four pieces of meat. The Silver Flood Dragon looked longingly at Lu Ye, showing that it wanted more.

The Golden Flood Dragon was more reserved, but it apparently shared the same sentiment.
