Chapter 441: Chapter 394: The Purple Mansion Mystery
Over ten thousand years ago, when the Purple Mansion Sacred Land was at its zenith, reigning supreme over the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, countless powerful entities and experts populated the Sacred Land, their numbers rivaling even the followers of the past Human Emperor’s Palace. Its brilliance peaked to an extreme.
Yet, at that very moment of splendor, it suddenly vanished from the world.
Without any warning signs or traces, it disappeared abruptly, as if it had never existed at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that the people clearly remembered this Holy Land and the existence of the Bloodstained Mountain Range within the Divine Death Mountain Range, which had once been the site where an Ancient Great Power from the Sacred Land slaughtered Outer Domain Gods, everyone would’ve thought it was merely a fantastical dream.
The world was shocked and sent into a frenzy!
An entire Supreme Sacred Land disappeared just like that, inexplicably—how could that be possible?
The commotion it caused at that time was tremendous, resembling the sun falling from the sky, causing a massive disturbance across the Ten Thousand Domains and capturing the attention of the entire Ten Thousand Domain Center, including the Human Emperor Palace.
It was a Supreme Sacred Land, one of the most potent forces across the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, even more transcendent than the Immortal Sacred Land, fortified by a Supreme Ancient Ancestor Great Power and a terrifying foundation.
Even the Human Emperor Palace, Supreme Imperial Families, and Emperor Clans, which were forces to be wary of, were shocked by this overnight disappearance, adding a sense of strangeness and widespread panic in the mortal world.
Afterward, countless forces and powerful entities spontaneously pursued traces of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, among them the foremost powers like the Human Emperor Palace.
Despite many tens of thousands of years of investigation, even the Heavenly King Invincibles had made the journey, and legends tell that even the Ancient Great Powers came forth, but no one could find a single trace of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land. This prominent Sacred Land had vanished without a trace, becoming a mysterious and perplexing case that bewildered countless people to this day.
Furthermore, the Divine Death Mountain Range was eerily strange. It was said that at night, terrifying ghostly figures would sometimes appear, and there had been numerous disappearances of well-known super experts, similar to the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.
Because of this, despite the Divine Death Mountain Range once being occupied by the Purple Mansion Sacred Land and being a scenic range spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, no force settled there, nor did anyone wish to approach the mountains, making it a dreaded Life Forbidden Zone.
It was believed that this Life Forbidden Zone would continue to exist in such a manner, but unexpectedly, after more than ten thousand years, a disturbance appeared in the old lands of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land. An ancient realm manifested, suspected to be the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land from over ten thousand years ago, swiftly drawing the attention of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.
Numerous powerful entities rushed over, with Saint Master Level existences, who usually looked down upon the Great Domains, coming one after another, and there were even rumors that Heavenly King Invincibles made personal appearances.
The people believed that this must be the Purple Mansion Sacred Land that had disappeared over ten thousand years ago, finally resurfacing after many years.
The enigmatic puzzle that puzzled everyone back then might soon be resolved.
Moreover, confirmed news emerged that some strong Saints had joined forces half a month earlier, entering into what was suspected to be the Ancient Domain of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land to investigate the truth.
Indeed, confirmation was obtained, establishing that the ancient realm was indeed the Purple Mansion Sacred Land from over ten thousand years ago.
However, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land of today had undergone a staggering transformation. Although the Immortal Mountains and Pocket Worlds remained, eerily enough, it was desolate without a single person or creature, like a realm of ghosts, sending chills to the core of the Saints and stirring wonder about what catastrophic events had taken place to cause such a profound change in a Supreme Sacred Land at its peak.
And shortly after news relating to this spread, the Saints who had entered the Purple Mansion Sacred Land all completely lost contact, mysteriously disappearing within, causing alarm, with no response to calls, their fate unknown.
This frightening anomaly indeed sent a wave of panic through the masses, suggesting a fearful presence might still exist inside.
Some were daunted, others filled with excitement, considering this could be an immensely fortunate Immortal Fate, for it involved the Supreme Sacred Land from ten thousand years ago, a peak force.
In its heyday, this Supreme Sacred Land had been home to numerous Ancient Great Powers and a multitude of strong figures, harboring the most formidable of foundations, including abundant resources like Pocket Worlds and Ancestor Veins, as well as cultivation handbooks, Dao Divine Skills, and Immortal Ancient Weapons left behind by various Ancient Great Powers and Heavenly King Invincibles, all sufficient to move countless forces from all over.
No one could afford to ignore it.
Indeed, these days serve as the best evidence, with powerful entities from major forces across the Great Domains continuously arriving, including the master of an Immortal Sacred Land coming in person from the Ten Thousand Domain Center, with numerous others following suit.
The world’s mightiest converged in the Heavenly Saint Domain, undoubtedly drawn by the priceless Divine Treasure of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.
Although the Purple Mansion Sacred Land might harbor great terrors, all the powerful beings had come prepared, and it was likely that some would bring Immortal Ancient Weapons bequeathed by beings of Ancient Great Power Level to attack and intimidate, ensuring they were not caught off guard.
Even the Heavenly King Invincible, entities transcending reincarnation, might emerge in secret to vie for that Immortal Fate.
All these signs bolstered confidence; with so many powerful figures present, including Saints personally coming from the various Immortal Sacred Lands, bringing the corresponding Forbidden Artifacts, no matter what terror lay within could surely be annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
By now, the Divine Death Mountain Range, where the Purple Mansion Sacred Land was located, had already been temporarily sealed off. Although all the forces under the heavens sought the priceless Divine Treasure within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, they had grown cautious in the face of the eerie disappearance of even Saints, deciding to temporarily join forces and enter the Sacred Land collectively.
Naturally, not just a handful of people would benefit from the riches of the Sacred Land; other forces came continuously, some even from Immortal and Supreme Sacred Lands, thereby delaying the operation for the time being.
Moreover, it was rumored that each force had brought with them the new generation of young elites, intending to expose them to experiences and trials.
Among these was most certainly a number of young kings, not just one or two but at least more than ten, all from Immortal Sacred Lands, upon whom great expectations were placed.
The other young elites were even more numerous, a generation filled with potential, experiencing the world at an early stage.
This was a tacit agreement among the major forces, which silently reached a consensus. Compared to them, these new generations of young elites were much weaker and unlikely to obtain the Treasures, so they had the right to dispose of any treasures they found, and their elders were not to compete for them.
Naturally, there was a limit to the number of people who could enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land—just three thousand, no more.
Upon learning this news, Ye Chen’s eyes shone with Divine Radiance.
Both the priceless Divine Treasure of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land and the King Blood of the young kings interested him. If he was fortunate enough, he might be able to gather enough King Blood this time to completely revive the Combat Saint Body.
Hence, Ye Chen continued to stay in Cloud City, quietly waiting for all this to unfold, and the battle for the young generation’s entry into the Purple Mansion Sacred Land would take place in a few days.
Only those who obtained the corresponding qualifications could enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land to compete for Treasures.
Five days later, Ye Chen proactively left the tavern, closely following the myriad of messages about the Purple Mansion Sacred Land to learn more.
In the meantime, Cloud City had also seen a number of young elites emerge, each with an extraordinary demeanor and extraordinary cultivation. Some of them were very powerful, having entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, surpassing others, with a terrifying aura spreading around them.
Many were the elites brought by the major forces, each appearing arrogant.
There were also a good number who were brought by their elders. They did not hail from a particular powerful force, yet were no less distinguished; their teaching masters were famous Loose Cultivators known throughout the land, strong enough that even the largest forces had to grant them the corresponding qualification to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.
Naturally, many young elites also appeared quite wary, mostly young powerhouses who had come on their own, without the company of a great force or the guidance of powerful elders, needing to fight for their own qualifications.
Because, although there seemed to be three thousand slots, in truth, the major forces occupied a large portion of the slots, and the final number of slots actually available might not even be three or four in ten, perhaps only about a thousand.
It seemed like a lot, but with the innumerable young elites coming from all regions, the number was many times more than the available slots. To compete for just one thousand entry slots among countless young strong contenders was very difficult.
Ye Chen remained calm and composed, perhaps this was the confidence that came from assurance; for a young True King like himself not to be able to clinch one of the slots would be laughable to the entire world.
Three days later, an elder from an Immortal Sacred Land appeared, calling together all the young elites who wanted to gain entry into the Purple Mansion Sacred Land for a qualification battle.
Including Heavenly Saint City and Cloud City, there were five Ancient Cities designated as the battlegrounds for the young elites’ slots, competing for a thousand slots.
Inside Heavenly Saint City, four hundred slots would be contested, while the remaining four Ancient Cities would each vie for one hundred and fifty slots—not too many, but not too few either.
The qualification battle was simple. The major forces had long prepared an Alternate Space, very spacious and capable of accommodating millions with ease.
All entered the Alternate Space, where with no time limits, only the last standing one-hundred-and-fifty would earn the right to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land and compete for the Secret Treasure.
In Cloud City, the number of participants vying for slots was high, at least over three thousand. Not just the elites from Yun Country but also the young powerhouses from other regions and even other Great Domains took part in this battle for qualifications.
