After all, Ji Haoyuan also climbed his way up from the bottom step by step.

Almost at the moment he heard Nangong Jin's words, he immediately realized that someone was deliberately targeting him.

To be precise, it was targeting his identity as the descendant of the Celestial Essence Ancestor.

He could almost imagine that once he officially joined, he would definitely face difficulties and hostility from all sides.

In this situation, without any background or backing, every step he took would inevitably be extremely difficult.

As for the elders of Chongming Hall that Nangong Jin just mentioned...

Perhaps they indeed had old ties or considerable connections with the former Celestial Essence Ancestor.

If not, it would not have been so easy for him to enter this Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

But now, the Celestial Essence Ancestor is no longer here.

He himself came from afar in the Southern Wilderness Realm, and there was no emotional connection or even any contact between them.

The fact that they were willing to lend a helping hand in him joining was already difficult enough.

He couldn't, and wouldn't dare to expect more.

This can be easily inferred from the fact that they had Nangong Jin convey the matter of the Ten Thousand Laws Map challenge.

At least, before he showed sufficient value and potential, expecting them to help him unconditionally was absolutely impossible.

In just this moment, Ji Haoyuan already had a relatively clear understanding of his own situation and the possible scenarios he might face.

At this moment, he couldn't help but turn to Nangong Jin and sincerely asked:

"Elder Nangong, could you tell me more about the matter of challenging the Ten Thousand Laws Map?"

Seeing that Ji Haoyuan seemed to quickly grasp some understanding, a hint of appreciation appeared in Nangong Jin's eyes.

He nodded.

"That is certainly not an issue."

With that, Nangong Jin carefully explained the matter of the Ten Thousand Laws Map challenge to Ji Haoyuan.

This map is said to be left by their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's founding ancestor.

It is divided into ten levels in total.

Each level has its own guardian.

However, in order to pass through, you rely not on your Magical Divine Techniques or Magical Treasure talismans, but entirely on your Daoist Skill comprehension for that level.

Only by comprehending the Daoist Skill of that level can you have the chance to defeat the guardian.

Moreover, there is a certain degree of life-threatening danger in this process.

If you cannot defeat the guardian and do not have a suitable protective item, you will be trapped in that level forever.

Either you will be killed by the guardian, trapped to death, or consumed by self-doubt and self-destruct due to the rise of a Heart Demon.

It is extremely ruthless.

Therefore.

In the countless years since their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's inception, the disciples with the courage to challenge the Ten Thousand Laws Map are very few relative to their immense number of disciples.

And those capable of passing through the first seven levels are even fewer.

As for those who passed the first nine or all ten levels, they are as rare as a phoenix feather.

At least, in the near thousands of years in their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, only a handful have been able to pass all ten levels.

Not even five.

Of those few, the one with the lowest achievement has already reached the Void Refining early stage cultivation level.

And this is due to their relatively young age.

At this point.

Ji Haoyuan, under Nangong Jin's lead, had arrived at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land and completed the relevant registration.

But just as Nangong Jin asked the cultivator of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to bring out the geographical maps for Ji Haoyuan to select a suitable Spirit Vein Dojo, the cultivator's face showed a somewhat troubled expression.

This immediately made Nangong Jin's expression tense.

"What? Is there some problem with this matter?"

He knew very well that every Inner Sect Disciple of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, even an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, had the right to obtain an independent Spirit Peak for cultivation.

Yet, the current reaction from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall cultivator was clearly abnormal.

Sure enough.

The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall cultivator said in a somewhat troubled tone: "Steward Nangong, it's really unfortunate. At the moment, the excellent independent fourth-tier Spirit Peaks are all gone.

What do you think...?"

"Hmm? All gone?"

Nangong Jin's eyes squinted at once.

He was very clear that the so-called excellent fourth-tier independent Spirit Peaks were comparable to ordinary fifth-tier Spirit Vein Dojos in the outside world.

This was the foundation of their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

So you're telling me those Spirit Peaks are gone, isn't that a joke?

"Is it truly gone? Or did someone tell you to say it's gone?"

Nangong Jin's tone carried a hint of severity.

Although the elders of Chongming Hall did not give clear indications regarding Ji Haoyuan's situation, being in the position of Steward, Nangong Jin naturally had the ability to gauge the intentions of his superiors.

In fact.

The very fact that Ji Haoyuan could obtain the identity of an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple already spoke volumes.

Especially as this was influenced by other elders of Chongming Hall.

Following Lu Yuanshan, he already understood Lu Yuanshan's true attitude toward Ji Haoyuan.

It's just that, due to his identity, some things cannot be made too obvious.

Under these circumstances, if he didn't get things done right, it would not only damage his own reputation but also make it difficult to explain to Lu Yuanshan in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, a trace of anger truly arose in Nangong Jin's heart.

The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall cultivator, sensing the pressure released by Nangong Jin, began to sweat slightly on his forehead.

Considering he was merely a recently promoted Nascent Soul disciple, how could he withstand the pressure of Nangong Jin, a Great Venerable of Divinity Transformation?

Thankfully, at that moment, an elderly man with a goatee suddenly emerged from behind him.

As soon as this person appeared, he immediately dispelled the pressure Nangong Jin had enveloped in the area, causing the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall cultivator to sigh in great relief.

He looked at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall cultivator and said lightly:

"You may leave now, I will handle the matters here."

"Yes, Master Shang!"

The cultivator, as if granted amnesty, bowed immediately at these words and then retreated.

Seeing this, Nangong Jin squinted his eyes again and spoke lightly.

"Shanghuai Mountain."

"Hmm..."

It was only at this moment that the goateed old man, referred to by Nangong Jin as Shanghuai Mountain, turned his gaze to him, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Junior Brother Nangong, it's been a while. All is well, I presume?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jin took a slight deep breath and, adhering to etiquette, cupped his hands towards Shanghuai Mountain, saying:

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Shang. I have been well lately.

However, I am here on urgent business, and we can catch up later.

But before that, I hope Senior Brother Shang can accommodate me by selecting an excellent fourth-tier Daoist Field Spirit Peak for this young friend of mine.

Is that possible?"
