Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God

Chapter 97: Lingtian Mystic Realm

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Time slipped by, and another month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. The Lingtian Mystic Realm was about to open.

The elders of the Clear Void Holy Land headed to the various countries of the north region to select suitable candidates to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

“Our Zhu family has three spots this time! Your fifth uncle and sixth uncle will bring you there!”

In the Prime Minister’s estate, Zhu Hongyuan placed the three tokens on the desk and announced in a low voice.

“Yes, father!” Zhu Xiaotian cupped his hands. His gaze was firm and burning.

‘The Lingtian Mystic Realm he had long awaited for was close to opening. He finally had the chance to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm in this life.

Zhu Xiaotian had been in seclusion and focused on cultivation during this period. His cultivation had already stabilized at the Golden Core Realm, and his strength had improved significantly.

Ever since the Divine Weapon Rankings was announced, he had suffered a huge blow. He reflected deeply on himself.

He realized that he had put too much thought into his calculations. He had also focused too much on the Heavenly Dao Rankings and the rewards.

In the end, it was all for naught for Zhu Xiaotian. Instead, he got overtaken consecutively, and his ranking fell further and further.

Therefore, after reflecting on his pain, he felt he should place his focus on cultivation and secretly make the best preparations for the opening of the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

In his previous life, due to the civil war in the Great Xia Dynasty, the resources and financial resources controlled by the family were basically spent on the war.

As a result, he could not obtain a spot from the Clear Void Holy Land, and he missed the chance to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm and encounter opportunities.

The method to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm had always been in the hands of the few Holy Lands.

In the beginning, only a selected few from those Holy Lands had the qualifications to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

If not for the recent thousand years when the human race had declined while demons became rampant, the Holy Lands would probably remain firmly in control of the Lingtian Mystic Realm. It would not be open to the cultivators of the Northern Domain.

His Zhu family was powerful and wealthy, successfully acquiring three spots from the Clear Void Holy Land’s elder in this life.

The vacancies available for the countries of the northern region to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm were controlled by the Clear Void Holy Land.

Every time before the Lingtian Mystic Realm opened, the Clear Void Holy Land would send various elders to each country to select suitable candidates.

There was only a rough framework for how the selection would be conducted. The candidates must not be older than two hundred years, and their cultivation must not be lower than the Golden Core or Aureate Body realm.

Under this framework, whoever could obtain these spots would depend on the subjective opinion of the elder in charge of the selection.

Sects like the Jade Pure Dao Sect and the Great Sky Dao Sect, part of the Huaxia Continent’s sect alliance, had fixed allocated spots.

The remaining spots would have to be ‘bought.

Although the Clear Void Holy Land did not state the price clearly and sell openly, the various large family clans and factions knew what to do.

The Clear Void Holy Land also turned a blind eye to such prevalence.

After all, the wealth obtained from the ‘tickets’ was a part of the Clear Void Holy Lane’s financial income, so why not?

The world was unfair, to begin with. Strength and background meant more opportunities.

Furthermore, the Lingtian Mystic Realm was extremely dangerous. If an ordinary person’s cultivation was too low and did not have any background. Even if he were to enter, he would be seeking death.

As for cultivators from ordinary families, if they did not enter the various large sects, they were likely people with ordinary potential.

Therefore, the fact that a family clan could spend money to buy a spot meant that they had sufficient capability.

The disciples and experts nurtured by those powerful families had a higher chance of survival in the mystic realm. They had a greater chance of snatching the opportunities they deserved.

At the same time, within the Qingyun Sect, Li Yu arrived in Li Qingyun’s room and asked about the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

This moming, he discovered that the Qing Cang Ancient Emperor’s mission related to Ye Qiu was about to begin.

The mission details instructed him to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

“Now that you mention it, I remember something. Judging from the time, the Lingtian Mystic Realm is about to open!” replied Li Qingyun.

The Lingtian Mystic Realm opened every 50 years. This year was the year it opened again.

“Dad, how can I obtain the spot to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm?” Li Yu asked.

“Use your fist!” laughed Li Qingyun.

Li Yu was slightly surprised, while Li Qingyun gave him a simple explanation.

“Mm, it’s the same old practice no matter which place I’m in!” Li Yu did not find it strange at all.

However, according to his father, it actually made obtaining the spot simpler.

Right then, Elder Taiwu’s voice sounded from the sky. “Sect Master Li, Elder Li, Taiwu of the Jade Pure Dao Sect requests an audience!”

“Perfected Taiwu is here? Maybe it’s for the Lingtian Mystic Realm?” Li Yu guessed and immediately flew out of the hall with Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyum opened the array formation passageway and invited Perfected Taiwu to the main hall of the sect.

As Li Yu had guessed, Perfected Taiwu was undoubtedly here because of the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

“Elder Li, the Lingtian Mystic Realm is about to open. This is the token to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm. The sect master has saved a spot for you!” Perfected Taiwu handed a token to Li Yu.

“Please thank the Sect Master for me!” Li Yu cupped his hands and took the token without hesitation.

“Perfected Taiwu, which elder from the Clear Void Holy Land is in charge of the Great Xia Dynasty’s quota this time?” Li Qingyun asked.

“Elder Kefa!” replied Perfected Taiwu.

“I’s him. Do you know where he is now?” Li Qingyun asked.

“He’s in our Jade Pure Dao Sect!”

“Alright, Perfected Taiwu, can you bring me to see Elder Kefa? I would like to fight for a few spots for my Qingyun Sect too!” Li Qingyun smiled.

“You can, but… Sect Master Li, to be honest, my Sect Master has already asked for spots for your Qingyun Sect.

“However, you should know that Elder Kefa’s attitude is very harsh. He must still be brooding over the matter back then. The spot this time was reluctantly given to Elder Li because he was the person who spoke the truth of the Great Dao, so…”

“Iknow. Perfected Taiwu, please lead the way. I’ll deal with the rest myself!” Li Qingyun assured.

“Well, alright!” Perfected Taiwu could not refuse.

He brought Li Qingyun and Li Yu to the Jade Pure Dao Sect and saw Elder Kefa drinking tea and chatting with Perfected Yu Hua.

Seeing Li Qingyum arrive, Elder Kefa’s face darkened, but he did not say anything.

His gaze shifted from Li Qingyum to Li Yu, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up as he sized him up.

As expected of the person who spoke the mantras. Li Yu does look extraordinary and dazzling, just like his father in the past.

He had heard various rumors regarding the Great Dao mantra.

He did not expect to hear the shocking truth from Perfected Yu Hua.

At the same time, he felt bitter and complicated.

There was only one reason—Li Qingyun.

If Li Yu was not Li Qingyun’s son, he would definitely favor Li Yu like how he would pamper his grandson.

After all, this was someone who had spoken the mantras of the Great Dao.

Li Yu was a saint in the hearts of many cultivators.

Their Holy Lord had already engraved those wise words on the Holy Land’s ancient monument as the sacred teachings of the Holy Land for all disciples to adhere to. At the same time, it would teach the later generations.

However, life can be a drama. The words of the saint in their hearts were actually spoken by the son of their enemy.

He could only comment that destiny makes fools of people.
