After the First Elder of Great Martial Sacred Land announced the rewards that'll be given to the participants who'll advance to the Second Round of the Competition, a huge uproar was caused amongst the people below.
Although no venue was chosen to hold this competition and every participant was scattered out throughout the city, right now, it looked like the Great Martial City in itself has become the great venue. It was as if every person inside the Great Martial City was has become the participant of the Competition of Myriad Worlds.
Be it the participants of the Competitions, the people who came along with the participants, and the residents of the Great Martial City, everyone felt a great shock.
Even those people who didn't know anything about the True Essence Pool were shocked after seeing a huge commotion and dumbfounded faces of the surrounding people. They didn't know anything and this became the reason for their surprise.
They wanted to know what this True Essence Pool exactly was to give millions of people this kind of surprise and cause such a huge uproar throughout the Great Martial City.
As for those who knew what the True Essence Pool was, they began dreaming about becoming the winner of the First Round and entering the True Essence Pool to cultivate.
Now, none of them wanted to withdraw, not a single person.
It has to know that the True Essence Pool was a place only opened for the core disciples of the Great Martial Sacred Land and they have to be at least at the Ancient Immortal Realm before they could enter the True Essence Pool to cultivate.
Also, even those people couldn't always cultivate inside the True Essence Pool. They'll have to spend a huge amount of contribution points if they want to enter the True Essence Pool. They spend thousands of years gathering the number of contribution points that'll allow them to enter the True Essence Pool.
Furthermore, the amount of time they can stay inside the True Essence Pool was only three days. But, with the secret technique to absorb and refine the True Essence, cultivating three days inside the True Essence Pool was equal to spending thirty years outside.
Moreover, True Essence could not only increase their cultivation speed by ten times, but it also increases the concentration of spirit energy inside their bodies. It also helps them expand their Small Worlds.
True Essence was mainly useful for Dao Manifestation Realm martial artists. They had to cultivate their bodies into Dao Body and transform it into Divine Body. True Essence was the perfect medium to let them cultivate a Divine Body.
The Dao Tribulation Stage cultivators not only had to pass three tribulations, but they also had to completely convert the Spirit Energy inside their dantian into True Essence. Only then could they successfully become a Divine Being.
This was the value of True Essence.
Now, this chance was going to be given to the participants who'll advance to the Second Round of the Competition. How can such a piece of shocking news not shock the people?
.....
The First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land was also cursing the Leaders of the Sacred Lands for being shameless and letting him become the scapegoat.
Right now, all he wanted to do was to cultivate peacefully and advance to the Dao Soul Stage of Dao Manifestation Realm, but those shameless old fogies made him scapegoat, letting him deal with millions of youngsters who behaves like a fool whenever he announce a thing, causing a huge commotion to stir up throughout the Great Martial City.
Taking a deep breath, the First Elder again said, "I know many of you know what the True Essence Pool is. But there are also many people who don't have a single clue about the True Essence Pool. I'll explain about the True Essence Pool first."
When people heard him, they once again became quiet, especially those people who doesn't know a single thing about the True Essence Pool.
The First Elder said, "In some of the Great Worlds, the concentration of Spirit Energy is extremely high. Some of the places where the concentration of the spirit energy surpassed the limit of Upper Realm gives birth to True Essence. It means, the True Essence is a type of energy a few levels higher than the Spirit Energy."
"True Essence is not something that everyone can absorb. Even a Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist can not absorb the True Essence. Since its level is extremely high, it's also extremely violent. Absorbing the True Essence directly can cause your meridians to break apart, it also exudes the pressure after you absorb it that can break down your bones into pieces, and it can even cause great harm to your Small Worlds."
"After countless years of research and practice, our predecessors created a secret technique that can let a martial artist absorb the True Essence and refine them into the Spirit Energy. Because of that secret technique, we can now absorb the True Essence without causing any harm to our body."
"But, even an Ancient Immortal Realm martial artist can only absorb the True Essence for three days continuously. After that, they'll start to feel their bodies breaking apart. True Essence is not something to mess with."
"An Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist can only absorb True Essence for two days and an Immortal King Realm martial artist can absorb the True Essence for only one day. Of course, there is always an exception and if anyone of you can become that exception after advancing to the Second Round of the competition, we'd be very happy about it."
"Now, let me give you another news. Absorbing the True Essence for one day is equal to going into seclusion and cultivating for ten whole years. You can imagine how great and terrifying the True Essence is."
"And True Essence Pool is a piece of land inside the Great Martial Sacred Land where True Essence float in the air. Although we can not see them, we can still feel them. It's because the pressure is too heavy at that place. You can also say that the gravity there is more than double compared to the outside."
Once again, after the First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land finished explaining, people below started to converse and the noise started enveloping the entire Great Martial City. Very soon, those slow noises snatched away the peacefulness of the Great Martial City.
Very soon, a big uproar once again started uprooting the entire Great Martial City.
This time, all the people knew what a True Essence was and what its effect was. They could not help but dream about becoming the winner of the First Round and absorbing the True Essence.
The First Elder let out a sigh of helplessness when he saw this.
Exactly because they had to deal with this kind of reaction, those shameless Leaders of the Sacred Lands made him scapegoat and send him to hold the First Round of the Competition of Myriad Worlds.
.....
Ye Xiao on the other hand was also greatly shocked. He never thought that the reward of the First Round will be to enter the True Essence Pool and absorb the True Essence there.
If he were to advance to the Second Round, he'll be able to get his hands on the Secret Technique that'll allow a person to absorb the True Essence and refine them.
Ye Xiao already wanted to get his hand on this technique. He even made a plan to enter the Great Martial Sacred Land and see if he could get this technique.
If he could get it, he'll let Yue Ying, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Qing'er, and other girls enter the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and absorb the True Essence there.
Now that the opportunity was already in front of him, how could he let it go?
Ye Xiao was already ready to go to the Demon World and face all those demons who'll come hunting him down.
But now, he was more willing to go. No, he not only had to go to the Demon World, but he also had to come back alive and advance to the Second Round of the Competition. Only then could he get his hand on the secret technique and let his girls cultivate on the Third Floor.
His cultivation base was already increasing rapidly, with the secret technique and cultivating on the Third Floor, his girls' cultivation will also increase at an extremely fast speed.
This was something Ye Xiao was more willing to do.
"Ok then..."
It was at this moment when the First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land once again said, "Those participants, who want to withdraw from the competition, can shatter the tokens given to them.. After shattering the tokens, you'll lose your qualification to participate in the competition. This way, you won't have to go to the Demon World!"
