Chapter 239: The First Round Of The King’s Territory, Great Qian Dynasty

The King’s Territory.

Ye Ping crossed the Immortal Door and soon saw a huge waterfall.

The waterfall was gushing down in a spectacular manner.

At this moment, a voice sounded as a few beams of light landed on Ye Ping’s hand.

“The first round of the King’s Territory is the competition for the Immortal King’s ancient token and all participants will receive three Immortal King ancient tokens.”

“When one collects twelve Immortal King ancient tokens, they can enter the second level of the King’s Territory.”

“Each Immortal King ancient token can offset a single death and allow one to be resurrected once in the King’s Territory. Without an Immortal King ancient token, you will be completely dead once you die.”

The ancient voice told Ye Ping what the first round of the King’s Territory was about.

On the other hand, after Ye Ping received the three Immortal King ancient tokens, he was sucked into the waterfall by a powerful force before he could even ask any more questions.

However, in an instant, Ye Ping truly arrived in the King’s Territory.

In the King’s Territory.

There were various mountains that were standing tall between heaven and earth and numerous ancient trees that were full of vitality. Upon closer look, Ye Ping realized that there were various precious spiritual beasts that were walking around in the King’s Territory.

It was just like a dense primordial forest with many crises and dangers lurking in the dark.

At this moment, a voice spread into his ears.

Boom!

It was the sound of an explosion.

Ye Ping opened his eyes and immediately saw a mountain shattering nearby, causing the rubble and dust to spread around for miles.

Before he could react, Ye Ping immediately sensed a huge danger.

Whoosh!

He vanished right on the spot and a pagoda suddenly fell from the sky before blasting onto the spot that Ye Ping was at.

The void was compressed to the point of exploding, forming a substance that was like a massive black hole.

‘Did someone launch a sneak attack?’

In an instant, Ye Ping could sense that someone was sneaking up on him.

The pagoda disappeared into the void immediately.

The perpetrator clearly didn’t dare to reveal his true body.

Unfortunately, he shouldn’t have provoked Ye Ping.

Ye Ping started activating the Ancient Godfiend Body and his physical body seemed to have been gilded while a Qi and Blood True Dragon hovered behind Ye Ping.

His Qi and blood were like that of a dragon.

Ye Ping closed his eyes immediately and searched for the enemy that was hiding in the dark, using his Qi and blood.

Regardless of whether a cultivator practiced physical cultivation or not, his Qi and Blood would not be concealed. If it was a heretical cultivator, he would be even easier to detect.

“Found it!”

Ye Ping immediately detected where the other party was.

The other party was hiding in the void about a thousand meters away.

Boom.

After securing the target, Ye Ping raised his fist and threw a punch without further ado.

Roar!

There was the roar of the True Dragon. Ye Ping had now already reached the Golden Core realm and his physical body, as well as his Dharmic powers, had both reached an unbelievable realm.

The punch formed a Golden True Dragon that suppressed the void and pierced through everything. He appeared in front of the enemy with just a single thought.

“Damn!”

The man, who was dressed in a brocade robe thousands of meters away, immediately looked sullen.

He used the void method to hide himself and use a quasi-Dao artifact to launch a sneak attack on the enemy. He would succeed every single time, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t get discovered.

However, he didn’t expect to have provoked a tough nut to crack.

Faced with Ye Ping’s True Dragon Fist, he did not intend to resist at all as he simply turned around to flee while sacrificing the pagoda to block Ye Ping’s attack.

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated Ye Ping’s strength.

The True Dragon Fist landed and exuded an aura of supreme toughness.

With a single punch, the pagoda trembled violently while roaring continuously. Before it could persist for three breaths, it shattered like glass and landed on the ground, piece by piece.

“Don’t kill me, I am the head disciple of the Seven Star Cave and we can cooperate. I didn’t mean to offend you just now.”

The other party explained to Ye Ping that he did it unintentionally. He didn’t want to offend Ye Ping at all, and at the same time, he also wished to cooperate with him.

Although Ye Ping was usually kind and calm in the Qingyun Dao Sect, he would naturally be different in the King’s Territory.

Ye Ping knew that there was no mercy to be shown in the King’s Territory, and if one didn’t kill their enemy, they would end up being the one to die. If he couldn’t react or get the Immortal King ancient token, he would definitely die.

Hence, Ye Ping simply ignored his explanations without any pity.

Roar!

He threw a punch with his True Dragon Fist.

The latter turned into ashes right on the spot and he was unable to resist the terrifying light of the fist.

At the same time, an Immortal King ancient token also floated in the void.

It was the first round of the King’s Territory.

If he killed someone, he would be able to get their Immortal King ancient token, and if the other party didn’t have an Immortal King ancient token, there would be nothing to collect.

If one collected all twelve Immortal King ancient tokens, they would be able to leave the first round and enter the second.

After killing him, Ye Ping neither felt proud nor excited.

Instead, he was even more careful than before.

“The first round of the King’s Territory is so intense, and there is brutal killing everywhere. I wonder what danger there will be in the next few rounds.”

To be honest, a normal person would be overjoyed to get an Immortal King ancient token.

However, Ye Ping felt that it wasn’t a good thing.

It was only the first round and it was already so intense. Wouldn’t the later rounds be worse and even more cruel?

One person had three Immortal King ancient tokens, which meant that one would have to kill at least four people to gather twelve Immortal King ancient tokens and enter the second round.

75% of the people would be eliminated, and the remaining 25% would only be able to enter the second round.

Naturally, it made him feel a sense of danger.

However, since he had already arrived in the King’s Territory, Ye Ping naturally knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to sharpen his battle spirit, obtain all kinds of treasures, and improve himself.

Ye Ping decided not to think about obtaining the greatest creation for now and decided to collect the 12 Immortal King ancient tokens first.

Just like that, Ye Ping left.

An entire hour later, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Ping, making him astonished.

“Junior Brother Huangfu.”

Ye Ping said with his eyes full of surprise.

He didn’t expect to run into Huangfu Tianlong in the King’s Territory.

“Senior Brother Ye?”

Huangfu Tianlong looked around vigilantly on a mountain peak, and after hearing Ye Ping’s voice, he couldn’t help but be startled. After looking over and realizing that it was really Ye Ping, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

“Junior Brother Huangfu, long time no see.”

Ye Ping landed from the void and smiled when he saw Huangfu Tianlong.

“Senior Brother Ye, I didn’t expect you to come to the King’s Territory as well.”

“Yes, you’re really talented and you’re a true elite. Of course you’d come to the King’s Territory.”

Huangfu Tianlong walked up to Ye Ping and gave him a big hug.

Ye Ping answered excitedly, “It was my Eldest Senior

Sister who asked me to come. When did you enter?”

He explained and asked Huangfu Tianlong when he came.

“I arrived six hours ago. Senior Brother Ye, how many Immortal King ancient tokens have you collected? Have you gotten twelve of them?”

Huangfu Tianlong asked.

“Not many, I’ve just arrived. So I’ve only collected four.”

Ye Ping laughed bitterly as he had entered less than five minutes ago. To be honest, if someone hadn’t come over to provoke him with a death wish, he’d probably have only three Immortal King ancient tokens.

“Four? Senior Brother Ye, we gotta hurry up. I’ve already gathered six, there are already many people who have gathered twelve and entered the second round.”

Huangfu Tianlong said.

He asked Ye Ping to seize the time.

“What? Some people have already gathered 12 tokens?”

Ye Ping was a little surprised as he thought, ‘The King’s Territory has only been opened for a short while, right? It’s been less than eight hours, this is pretty quick.’

“Senior Brother Ye, you have no idea that the King’s Territory has already been open for eight hours. The fights in the first two hours were the most intense. There was basically a brutal fight everywhere.”

“When I came, there were also fights everywhere, but there were fewer people at the spot I appeared, but even then, I killed three of them and got three Immortal King ancient tokens.”

“If nothing goes wrong, only a bunch of creepers will be left in a few hours.”

Huangfu Tianlong answered Ye Ping.

“Creepers?”

Ye Ping was curious as to what he meant.

“Creepers are those who like to hide in the dark and attack secretly. These people have practiced the stealth technique for hundreds of years that will allow them to hide in the void. They can even disguise themselves as a stone.”

“While you’re not paying attention, they might launch a sneak attack on you, snatch your token, and then flee. If they don’t succeed, they’ll run even more quickly. I met a few previously and I couldn’t even catch up with them.”

Huangfu Tianlong informed Ye Ping, and at the same time, he sounded somewhat furious. Clearly, he had also encountered such people but he failed to catch them.

“We do have to hurry up.”

Ye Ping nodded.

He didn’t think of that at all, but it made sense to him.

The crowd definitely peaked at the beginning, and if they were true elites, they would naturally be able to get twelve Immortal King ancient tokens.

If there were twelve people in front of Ye Ping now, he would be able to deal with them easily.

Towards the end, the people who entered would probably hide in the dark.

To put it directly, there were two types of people who would enter the King’s Territory.

One was the type who was invincible and would dominate.

The other was the type who was there only to obtain benefits. Their purpose was simple.

The first type would not hesitate and would kill as soon as they entered. If all three Immortal King ancient tokens were gone, they would just leave the King’s Territory. It would be considered taking the initiative to give up one’s rights.

In the first round of the King’s Territory, one would be able to give up their rights, but as soon as they left, there would be no issue.

However, there was a restriction in the King’s Territory this time. One had to be a genius with an ancient token or a true elite.

Hence, the strongest group of people had basically already entered the second round or encountered a stronger enemy that defeated them or made them withdraw.

There was basically no other possibility.

99% of the geniuses who entered later were creepers, just like the cultivator Ye Ping met before.

“Yeah, we have to hurry up but there are benefits to procrastinating.”

Huangfu Tianlong nodded, but the words he said made Ye Ping really curious.

“There are benefits to procrastinating? What benefits?”

Ye Ping was completely clueless about the King’s Territory and was naturally full of curiosity because he only had some basic information.

“Senior Brother Ye, every time the King’s Territory opens, there will be three rounds, but there’s a change this time, so it might be the last time it opens.”

“I’m not clear how many levels there really are, but there is a strict rule that basically all those who have participated are aware of.”

“The rule is that there is a supreme treasure in every round of the King’s Territory.”

“However, I’m not sure when it will appear either, but so far, the first treasure hasn’t appeared yet.”

“Senior Brother Ye, we might be fated enough to obtain the first supreme treasure. If that’s the case, we’re going to strike a huge fortune.”

Huangfu Tianlong said.

There were three rounds to the King’s Territory, each of which had a supreme treasure.

Such supreme treasures were true treasures that were second only to the remaining treasures.

“Don’t think too much about it. Let’s talk about it after we collect the Immortal King ancient tokens.”

Ye Ping did not think much about it.

He smiled bitterly. The most important thing to do now should be to collect all the Immortal King ancient tokens.

“Yes.”

Huangfu Tianlong understood his priorities.

He nodded.

Just like that.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the world were watching this place.

However, something major also happened in the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Tree had already borne fruit.

It immediately sparked a discussion in the Great Qian Dynasty.

The divine fruit bestowed countless auspiciousness.

The divine tree of the Great Qian Dynasty was a symbol, and the fruit borne by the divine tree could save a person 500 years of hard cultivation without any side effects.

If a genius ate the divine fruit, it would be akin to saving himself 500 hundred years of hard cultivation and soaring to the peak immediately.

For an ordinary cultivator, it would also be saving 500 hundred years of cultivation.

It wasn’t that significant.

Generally, the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty would be exclusively given to the Crown Prince to stabilize his cultivation level. At the same time, it also served as a declaration to the world that the Crown Prince was the true successor.

However, this time…

In the Great Qian Dynasty.

In the Zaixin Hall, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were sitting patiently and looking at Su Changyu, their faces full of expectations.

On the other hand, Su Changyu looked at the jade box on the table with an extremely calm gaze.

He was rather doubtful.

He looked at the jade box.

Just an hour ago, the two of them personally arrived with that box, claiming that it was a gift.

To be honest, Su Changyu was noble-minded and never liked accepting handouts.

However, when he thought of the previous experience when Old Xuan gave him a gift, Su Changyu was still planning to take a look at it.

He initially thought that it was a box of clothes, but to his surprise, it was a fruit.

Although the fruit was crystal clear like jade, it was indeed a treasure.

‘What do I need this for?’

“Changyu, this is the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty. If you consume it, you can save time on cultivating and meditating. Take this as a meeting gift.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.

He was extremely confident about the Great Qian Dynasty Divine Fruit.

The divine fruit was originally meant for the Crown Prince, and if he wasn’t afraid that Su Changyu would be duped by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty wouldn’t have been willing to give it to anyone else.

Of course, although he had given it to Su Changyu, he had also compensated the Crown Prince with lots of things. Hence, he had handled both sides well.

“Save me from hard cultivation and meditation?”

“We cultivators leave a footprint in every realm we reach and everyday that we cultivate.”

“This is just an external object used for enhancing cultivation. I don’t need it.”

Su Changyu shook his head.

He declined right away.

He knew that although it would enhance cultivation levels, it would damage his potential, and if he couldn’t reach Foundation Establishment after taking it, that would be embarrassing.

As soon as he heard that, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was even more pleased with Su Changyu instead of getting angry.

Regardless of where the treasure was placed, it would be priceless.

However, he didn’t expect Su Changyu to have not been tempted at all.

‘No wonder he’s my nephew.’

“Changyu, you’re right, but this fruit can save you 500 years of hard cultivation without any side effects and it wouldn’t affect your cultivation level either.”

The empress said, looking at Su Changyu in awe.

However, in an instant, Su Changyu was stunned.

‘Huh?’

‘Save me 500 years of hard cultivation?’

‘No side effects!?!’

‘500 years?’

‘Are you lying to me?’
