Double Cultivation
Heavenly Pool
"By the way, what is a Heavenly Pond?" Su Yang asked Bai Lihua after sitting down.
"The Heavenly Column is something that is within the Sky Mountain, where the Ancestor of the Xie Family is rumored to be in closed cultivation. As for the Heavenly Pool itself, it was a small pond that contained a kind of holy water that was naturally filled with Profound Qi. It was also rumored that if you cultivate there, your cultivation speed would increase by 100 times. In other words, if you cultivate there for 7 days, it will be the same as cultivating for 700 days." Bai Lihua explained to him.
"How can something amazing exist in this world?" Liu Lanzhi revealed astonishment after hearing that. He now understood why all the Sect Masters were so excited about it.
"Yes, this is an amazing heaven-defying place. However, it would take around 100 years to recover his Profound Qi after a month of cultivation in that pond." Bai Lihua continued.
"100 years for a month of cultivation?! And the Xie Family is willing to give 7 days to the winner of this tournament? It was almost too generous for them." Liu Lanzhi.
Bai Lihua nodded. "That's too generous for them. In fact, some Sect Masters believed that the Xie Family was somehow aware of the outcome of the tournament, hence why they were willing to give such an award."
"You mean the Xie Family knows who will win this tournament and deliberately chose this prize as a reward for them? Sounds a little too silly." Liu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows.
After all, why would the Xie Family do something like this when they could directly grant access to the Heavenly Pool without using the tournament as an excuse?
"Who knows. It was also possible that the Xie Family felt very generous this year. It was just a conspiracy in the end." Bai Lihua shrugged her shoulders.
'Heavenly Pool, yes ..' Su Yang muttered to himself.
Within the Four Divine Heavens, there were many locations similar to these Heavenly Ponds, and they were mostly occupied by the strongest families.
'Even if it can't be compared to the one in Divine Heaven, it will greatly help my cultivation at the current level.' Su Yang nodded to himself.
After waiting for about half an hour, two figures appeared on the platform that was near the arena, where luxurious seats were arranged.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xie, has arrived!"
"Your Majesty, Princess Xie, has arrived!"
The guards around the colosseum shouted loudly as their figures appeared, and everyone in the colosseum immediately stood up and lowered their heads towards them.
Lord Xie casually waved his sleeve before sitting on one of the luxurious chairs while Xie Xingfang, who was wearing a veil on his face sat beside him.
"That's Fairy Xie? This is the first time I've seen him!"
"Even though she has a veil covering her face, I can tell that she is a peerless beauty behind it!"
"Look at her beautiful skin and perfect figure! She was undoubtedly an peerless beauty!"
"Are you sure you want to be here? If your body suddenly .. "Lord Xie looked at him with worried eyes.
If Xie Xingfang had not asked her to allow him to appear today, she would not have let him leave the house because of the condition of his body.
"I'll be fine, dad. If anything happens, Su Yang is here" Xie Xingfang said as he turned to look towards Su Yang.
"…" Lord Xie narrowed his eyes at Su Yang, who was casually surrounded by beauties on all sides.
A moment of silence later, Lord Xie turned his head to look at the old man standing near the stage and nodded his head.
The old man noticed Lord Xie's signal and quickly stepped onto the stage.
"Thank you to everyone for coming here today. I, Zi Dong, will be the referee today. Before we start the first game today, allow me to explain some rules."
"First and foremost, murder is forbidden in the arena. Even if it was an accident, if you kill an opponent, your Sect will be fined 10 million Spirit Stones!"
"10 Million Spirit Stones?!?!" The audience was stunned by this new rule.
10 Million Spirit Stones was an enormous amount of treasure even for the Elite Sect, let alone the rest. If they killed someone today, they would definitely go bankrupt. Once that happened, the Sect would no longer be able to support its disciples and collapse.
"Wouldn't this new rule put unnecessary pressure on the participants, limiting their full prowess? If I were them, I would be too afraid to fight!" said the audience.
"really? Accidents will definitely happen. 10 million Spirit Stones are too harsh of a punishment." The audience whispered their concerns to each other.
"For the second rule, participants are prohibited from using weapons and personal property to avoid injustice."
Unlike Martial Techniques that require one's talent to master, holding a powerful treasure to defeat your opponent doesn't require such a thing, hence why the tournament prohibits the use of personal weapons.
After all, if one could enter the stage with an undisclosed powerful weapon, what points would be left for the skill tournament?
"Three, participants should have a protective talisman given to them before they enter the stage, as this would allow them to fight without worrying about killing each other accidentally. Unless your opponents are in the Heaven Spirit Realm, they won't be able to, I can watch very carefully in case something goes wrong, so fight with all your heart."
"These are the three main rules of this tournament. And without further ado, allow me to introduce the participants to the first match today – Burning Lotus Sect and Golden Altar Sect!"
After Zi Dong introduced the two parties, the Burning Lotus Sect and the Golden Altar Sect rose onto the stage, causing the spectators to explode with vigor.
