Chapter 2714 - 553: The Origin Realm (Part 2)
Cao Zhen, as the Eight Clans Alliance Leader, naturally took the main seat. As soon as he sat down, the voice of the Fourth Prince of the Heavenly Clan reached his side.
"Lord Cao, this time for the martial arts tournament, simply providing resources to them seems insufficient.
Currently, all participants from various clans are heavenly prides, they won’t lack resources within their clans. Just providing resources to them is not of much significance."
Cao Zhen slightly raised his eyebrows but said nothing, while another Vice Alliance Hierarch, Dream Dragon Immortal, spoke up and asked, "Vice Hierarch, do you have a better suggestion?"
The Fourth Prince of the Heavenly Clan smiled slightly and asked, "Do you all know the Primeval Realm?"
"Primeval Realm?"
Cao Zhen, along with Dream Dragon Immortal and other cultivators nearby, showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this. Finally, Dream Dragon Immortal asked, "What is the Primeval Realm?"
"Not long ago, I learned about the existence of the Primeval Realm.
Everyone knows we’re from one world, but besides our world, there are many others, and channels between these worlds open simultaneously.
Before the channels open, each world has five hundred places to enter the Primeval Realm. Of course, no one knows when this time will be, only that it will open at some point within the ten thousand years of connectivity among the worlds.
In the Primeval Realm resides the strongest race in the entire cosmos, the Primeval Tribe. They don’t clash with any races; they are the guardians of the whole cosmos.
You all know that unless a clan becomes extinct, other cultivators cannot practice their cultivation technique or spell.
However, there are no such restrictions in the Primeval Realm. There, even if a clan hasn’t gone extinct, you can still practice the cultivation techniques or spells of others.
Moreover, the Primeval Realm houses countless spells and techniques, countless legacies from all races in the cosmos.
In the Primeval Realm, you can even receive guidance from the Primeval Tribe.
The Primeval Realm is akin to a training ground. Before the worlds connect, all clans seek entry to enhance their cultivation.
But a world only gets five hundred entry places into the Primeval Realm, and there are restrictions too. Among them, one hundred can be at the Golden Immortal Realm, one hundred at the True Immortal Realm, one hundred at the Immortality Regainment Realm, one hundred at the Earth Immortal Realm, and one hundred at the Golden Core Stage.
Entering the Primeval Realm means competing for more legacies; stronger cultivation yields higher chances of obtaining legacies.
Choosing these hundred people can only be done through competition. Now, since Lord Cao is holding a martial arts tournament, why not use it to determine the top hundred participants to receive these hundred quotas?
Of course, if some cultivator faces an accident, naturally, the latter ones will fill in.
Moreover, our martial arts tournaments aren’t held only once. Participating once doesn’t mean you can’t participate again.
We calculate the quotas based on the top hundred of the last tournament, so there will be no problems.
What do you all think?"
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances; none had heard of this Primeval Realm before.
But how did the Sky Clan learn of this news?
Cao Zhen knew that even if he asked, they wouldn’t reveal how they came by this information. Thus, he didn’t bother asking.
After a moment of slight contemplation, he gently nodded, saying, "The Vice Hierarch indeed makes sense, but in that case, should the Golden Immortal and True Immortal realms also hold tournaments? What does the Vice Hierarch think?"
"Naturally." The Fourth Prince of the Heavenly Clan nodded slightly, "If there’s to be competition, certainly, the cultivators of the Golden Immortal and True Immortal realms must compete too."
"Good." Cao Zhen suddenly thought of something and asked, "But now that quotas are chosen, what about later?
Say a cultivator wins a Golden Core Stage quota but breaks through shortly thereafter.
How would that quota be counted? Has the Vice Hierarch thought of this?"
"I have some ideas." The Fourth Prince of the Heavenly Clan said solemnly, "If the quota is won during the Golden Core Stage, it naturally occupies the Golden Core Stage’s quota. If one breaks through, the quota naturally becomes void.
However, we could give them an opportunity. For instance, if the Golden Core Stage winner of this tournament breaks through into the Earth Immortal Realm, having never participated in the Earth Immortal Realm competition, their quota is lost, which is quite unfair to them.
Therefore, we can give them a challenge opportunity. They can challenge any Earth Immortal Realm entrant qualified for the Primeval Realm. If victorious, the quota naturally becomes theirs."
Upon hearing this, those around lightly shook their heads, feeling such a challenge was almost equivalent to none.
Because those holding quotas are among the top hundred of the Eight Clans.
A newly breakthrough cultivator can hardly defeat these elites; thus, many will choose to remain at their current cultivation realm.
However, this comes with its risks.
For example, winning a quota during a Golden Core Stage tournament doesn’t assure permanence, since the Golden Core Stage martial arts tournament isn’t held just once.
