Chapter 2991: Distributing the Accumulative Points Jade
“Since the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect managed to become an Inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion, it means that his strength has surpassed the Great Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect!” the middle-aged man’s companion said.
“An Inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion? The Great Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect failed to become an Inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion?” Huang Jia Long was stunned when he heard these words. As the Young Master of the City Governor’s estate in the Supporting Fall Nation’s Passage City, he was privy to matters, including matters about the Three Sects and Two Clans, that ordinary people in the Supporting Fall Nation were unaware of. However, this was his first time hearing about the Inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion.
Therefore, Huang Jia Long asked curiously, “Brother, what’s an Inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion? Earlier, you said there are ten Inspectors in the Profound Nether Mansion?”
“The Profound Nether Mansion is governed by the Mansion Master and a few Deputy Mansion Masters,” the middle-aged man’s companion began to excitedly explain, “Apart from that, there are ten positions for the Inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion. Anyone can apply for these positions providing they’re capable enough. Apart from cultivators from the Three Sects and Two Clans, sectless cultivators can try for the position of an inspector as well.”The middle-aged man’s companion continued to say, “Among the current ten inspectors, there are two from the Coupling Celestial Sect, and one each from the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect and the Simplicity Celestial Sect. There’s none from the Zhangsun Clan and the Gongyang Clan. The inspectors from the Coupling Celestial Sect, the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, and the Simplicity Celestial Sect are all veterans from the older generations. They usually stay in the mansion and don’t interfere with the affairs of their respective sects. Naturally, that’s only if their respective sects aren’t in grave danger. However, it has to be said the Profound Nether Mansion wouldn’t let the situation go so bad…”
The middle-aged man’s companions spoke confidently. It was clear he was rather knowledgeable about the Profound Nether Mansion.
“Brother, how do you know so much about the Profound Nether Mansion?” Huang Jia Long looked at the middle-aged man’s companion curiously.
The middle-aged man’s companion had no time to reply before the middle-aged man replied, “This fellow likes to ask around about things he finds interesting whenever he has the time. Over time, his knowledge has, naturally, accumulated.”
Meanwhile.
After the rotund middle-aged man from the Zhangsun Clan had spoken, the leaders from the Simplicity Celestial Sect, the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, and the Gongyan Clan instinctively turned to look at the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect.
“Sect Leader Bihai, why don’t you make the decision regarding this matter?”“That’s right. Sect Leader Bihai, you can make the decision.”
“I, Gongyang Yu, will listen to Sect Leader Bihai.”
The three leaders unanimously agreed to Bihai Mingfeng taking charge. They did not expect the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect would personally lead the entourage from his sect here. They would not have needed to humble themselves to this extent if it were the Great Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect. After all, the person before them was not only the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, but he was also one of the ten Inspectors from the Profound Nether Mansion. With that position, he could be considered as a representative of the Profound Nether Mansion.
According to the Profound Nether Mansion’s rules, the Inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion from the Three Sects and Two Clans who were above 3,000 years old could not return to their sects or clans or interfere with the matters of their respective sects and clans.
The Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, however, had not reached the age of 3,000. In fact, he was not even 1,000 years old. For him to possess such strength at such a young age, he could be considered as a monstrous genius in the entire Profound Nether Mansion.
At this moment, even the slowest person among the 20,000 people present on the scene could tell how formidable the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect was. Although many of them did not know the details and had never heard of Inspectors from the Profound Nether Mansion, they could tell he was not an ordinary person based on how deferential the other leaders from the Three Sects and Two Clans were.
The crowd was, naturally, curious about Bihai Mingfeng, the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect.
“Who’s he?”
“There is such a person in the Coupling Celestial Sect?”
“Even the Great Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect wouldn’t have gotten this kind of treatment, right?”
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, Bihai Mingfeng, who was seated on the sedan, leisurely crossed his legs before he glanced at the rotund middle-aged man indifferently and said, “Since you’ve all agreed that I should make the decision, I’ve decided to let Zhangsun Xiong Qi be in-charge this time.”
Upon hearing the rotund middle-aged man’s name, Duan Ling Tian’s eyebrows rose slightly. ‘Zhangsun Xiong Qi? I didn’t expect this fat middle-aged man to be the second elder of the Zhangsun Clan.’
Although there were many elders in the Zhangsun Clan, only two of them were famous. These two elders were the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Zhangsun Clan.
The second elder’s name, Xiong Qi, meant exceptional strength. His strength, as his position suggested, was only below the Patriarch and the Grand Elder of the Zhangsun Clan.
“Ten of you will listen to Elder Zhangsun’s orders…” Bihai Mingfeng continued to speak indifferently. This time, his words were directed to the ten individuals standing behind him.
“Yes, third sect leader,” the ten individuals standing behind Bihai Mingfeng replied reverently. It was clear their reverence was not feigned. In fact, if one looked closely enough, one could see a hint of zealousness hidden in the depths of their eyes. It was only natural since Bihai Mingfeng was not only the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, but he was also the most talented person to appear in the Coupling Celestial Sect in the past 100,000 years. Most of them were of the opinion that Bihai Mingfeng was capable of elevating their sect to the next level and become a grade-eight Celestial Sect!
Zhangsun Xiong Ji, the Second Elder of the Zhangsun Clan, acknowledged Bihai Mingfeng’s words with a nod before he turned to toward the sea of people and indifferently said, ‘Now, the leaders of the all the participants who would be entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, please come forward.”
Although Zhangsun Xiong Qi’s voice was not loud, the 20,000 people present, including Duan Ling Tian, heard his voice clearly since he had infused his Celestial Origin Energy into his voice.
All the Emperors of the Thousand Nations Territory, including the Supporting Fall Nation’s Emperor Hu Ling Yi and the Southern Qi Nation’s Emperor Xue Ming Cai, were among these 1,000 individuals.
Then, Zhangsun Xiong Qi continued to say, “As everybody knows, every nation of the Thousand Nations Territory has nine slots…. Now, the Three Sects and Two Clans will issue the Accumulative Points Jade. Please inform your own people about the rules and uses of the Accumulative Points Jade…”
“I will not repeat myself,” Zhangsun Xiong Qi said before he looked at the people behind him.
These people, including the ten individuals from the Coupling Celestial Sect, the Simplicity Celestial Sect, the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, and the Gongyang Clan stepped forward. Each of them was in charge of distributing Accumulative Points Jade to 200 emperors.
Soon after, each of the emperors of the Thousand Nations Territory held nine Accumulative Points Jade in their hands.
Then, Zhangsun Xiong Qi looked at the emperors from the Thousand Nations Territory and said tonelessly, “You can distribute the Accumulative Points Jades to your people now. Make sure you brief them about uses of the Accumulative Points Jade and the rules of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”
“Understood, Elder Zhangsun,” all the Emperors from the Thousand Nations Territory replied in unison.
Each of these emperors governed a grade-eight Celestial Kingdom. In their respective kingdoms, they stood up high, out of everybody’s reach. However, at this moment, they did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Zhangsun Xiong Qi.
Once the emperors withdrew, Zhangsun Xiong Qi called for the people from the Three Sects and Two Clans to receive corresponding Accumulative Points Jades. These corresponding Accumulative Points Jades served a different purpose to those that were given to the participants.
The Three Sects and Two Clans had a continuing tradition from the past. When the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opened, all of them had a tacit agreement to gamble on which participants had the highest points in the Accumulative Points Jade. The losing sects and clans would have to pay up to the winning sect or clan. Although the stakes were not determined, it was definitely something that would make the sects and clans cry tears of blood when giving it away. Therefore, the Three Sects and Two Clans, naturally, hoped the people whose corresponding jades they held would collect the most points.
Soon after, Zhangsun Xiong Qi loudly announced, “One more thing… We will only reopen the entrance of the realm after 70% of the participants have fallen…”
As soon as Zhangsun Xiong Qi finished speaking, a deathly silence descended on the place.
