C257 Ninth Layer City
C257 Ninth Layer City
In these three months, the two of them had passed through seven domains. During this period of time, they had encountered thirty-nine crises.
Thirty-nine crises. Some were blocked by the violent Ferocious Beast, and some had become enemies with martial artists. The most dangerous one was when Wang Hao was forced to use his divine ability, Reincarnation, and Heaven-Cleaving Sword to survive.
With training, there would be progress. At this moment, Wang Hao's experience had reached the Heavenly Martial Stage Level One 198,000 / 200000, and he was not far away from breaking through to the Heavenly Martial Stage Level Two.
Jia Houwei's improvement was also very fast. Before he left Ice Snow Domain, he had already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Earth Martial Stage. In the past three months, he had improved by one realm in almost a month.
With Wang Hao's experience of condensing the Blood Soul, Jia Houwei did not encounter any difficulties breaking through to the Heavenly Martial Stage. His Law of Luck Blood Soul had finally become clearer.
The originally misty Blood Soul was still a mist after solidifying. However, the outline of the Blood Soul could be seen. It seemed to be a human shape.
Regarding this point, Wang Hao couldn't do anything about it. Jia Houwei's bloodline was too mysterious, and no one could understand it.
Because of this, he had once laughed at Jia Houwei, saying that his Blood Soul was really the Goddess of Luck. Jia Hou was even intoxicated by it for a long time.
Along the way, Wang Hao and Jia Houwei had inquired about the Holy Domain. After all, both of them did not know much about it. Who knew that the more they knew, the more shocked they became.
The territory of the Holy Domain was not huge. It was not even one-fifth of the size of the Ice Snow Domain, but it was the territory of the lords of the 36 regions.
Rather than calling it a domain, it was better to call it a city. The entire Ice Snow Domain was surrounded by nine huge city walls.
The nine city walls were like nine rings, one ring was a ring, dividing the Holy Domain into nine regions. They were named First Heaven, Second Heaven, Third Heaven... All the way until the Ninth Heaven.
Jia Houwei raised his head. The outer city wall of the Holy Domain was a hundred meters tall, covering the sky and covering the sun.
"Boss, why do you think such a tall city wall is built in Holy Domain? What's the difference between living inside and being imprisoned?"
Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "This is my first time coming here in this life, how would I know so much? Let's go in!"
There were eighteen Golden Armors warriors guarding the gate of Holy Domain. Wang Hao felt it slightly and was incomparably shocked.
Jia Houwei also noticed this. He whispered, "This is only the First Sky, and you are using a peak Earth Martial Stage warrior to guard the city gate. This Holy Domain is indeed a heaven for the strong!"
Wang Hao did not say much, but he felt pressured in his heart.
In Ice Snow Domain, Wang Hao had grown step by step. Although he had been constantly in danger, he had finally stood at the peak and looked down upon all the other geniuses.
However, when he came to the Holy Domain, even the general guarding the city gate had the strength of a peak Earth Martial Stage. It could be seen how many terrifying existences were hidden in the city!
This feeling was similar to the time when Wang Hao left his family and went to the Snow Sword Sect to learn from him. He was filled with confusion about the future.
However, Wang Hao wasn't the ignorant youth from before. He quickly adjusted his mentality.
"It's just that I have returned to the starting line. I, Wang Hao, have the Nine Dragons System. Although the world is vast, what is there to be afraid of? "
Jia Houwei, who was careless, was naturally not worried. On the contrary, he vowed to Wang Hao, "Boss, we must work hard and make a name for ourselves in the center of this continent!"
Wang Hao smiled and was about to speak, but he was stopped by the system notification in his mind.
"System Notification, you have entered the Holy Domain and have officially left the novice area. The storyline has begun."
Wang Hao's smile froze on his face. He recalled the information that the system had just told him and was shocked in his heart.
"So the Ice Snow Domain is only equivalent to the existence of the beginner village to the system!"
"Now the system notifies me that the storyline has begun, which means that this is the beginning."
"Plot? Only a continuous historical event can be called a storyline. Could it be that the System has yet to become a prophet and understand what will happen in the future?"
Just as Wang Hao was deep in thought, the system notification sounded again.
"System Notification, the first scene of the storyline, 'School of Wind and Cloud' has been activated."
"Mission notification: Join the Qilin Academy. Mission reward, unknown!"
The long-awaited mission had arrived once again. The first mission Wang Hao had after entering the Holy Domain was to join the Qilin Academy.
Zhao Wudi had once told Wang Hao that there was a total of Three Great Academies in the Holy Domain, namely the Azure Dragon Academy, the Phoenix Academy, and the Qilin Academy.
The Three Great Academies only recruited geniuses who had broken through to the Heavenly Martial Stage before the age of 30, and among them, the Azure Dragon Academy recruited geniuses from the Holy Domain. The Phoenix Academy only recruited girls. People like Wang Hao and Jia Houwei, who came from the outer domains, were recruited. He could only join the Qilin Academy.
"Strange. In the past, no matter what kind of mission it was, there would always be a clear reward. Why is it that the reward for this mission is unknown?"
Just as Wang Hao was puzzled, he suddenly heard quarrels from the side.
It was a businessman scolding his subordinate.
"Look at the work you're doing. You still have the face to tell me that the salary is low. It's already good enough that I pay you!"
"If you do well, I will give you more rewards every time. But look at the work you are doing today. It is so ugly. You still have the face to say that the salary is low!"
His words woke up the person in the dream!
Wang Hao was shocked in his heart, "I understand! When I was in Ice Snow Domain, it was the same as moving around in the novice area. The system will naturally ensure my continuous growth, so the reward for the mission is fixed."
"But now that I have left the novice area and activated the storyline, there is no longer any novice protection. The reward for the mission will naturally change!"
"For the same mission, if I am able to complete it well, the reward will naturally increase, but if I am only able to barely complete it, the reward will also be reduced!"
"Looks like if I want to obtain more resources from the system in the future, I'll have to work harder and complete the mission to the best of my abilities!"
"Boss!"
Wang Hao suddenly woke up and saw Jia Houwei reaching out a palm and shaking it in front of his eyes.
"Boss, why are you suddenly startled?"
Wang Hao rolled his eyes, "I thought about something. Since we have already entered the city, let's find a place to gather some information."
Jia Houwei chuckled. "Let's go! Let's find a restaurant to have a good meal. These three months, we have been eating and sleeping in the open. I am going to starve and lose weight!"
Wang Hao was helpless. The Heavenly Martial Stage Martial Artist could provide food, and it could sustain one's life just by cultivating. However, to a foodie like Jia Houwei, not eating for a day was worse than taking his life.
Both sides of the street were bustling with noise and excitement, and the two of them were quickly stopped by someone.
"Masters, you don't look familiar. You must have come from the outer domain! Come to our restaurant and take care of the dust! "
Looking at the enthusiastic waiter in front of him, Jia Houwei suddenly thought of the restaurant in Red Flame Domain where the guests were slaughtered.
"Don't tell me you are also selling 38 yuan per shrimp of the Azure Sea Continent?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Customer, you are really humorous. This is the First Heaven, and the law is strict. If there was a restaurant that dared to do this, it would have been torn down countless times."
Wang Hao nodded and said, "Just in time to get some information. Let's do it here!"
The two of them entered the restaurant and ordered some food. The waiter served the food and wine, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wang Hao.
"Customer, do you have any other instructions?"
Wang Hao took out a bag of primeval stones and threw it to the waiter, "The two of us have just arrived. We want to know some news about Holy Domain."
The waiter weighed the vitality stones and immediately smiled.
"Customer, please ask. I will tell you everything."
Wang Hao thought for a while and asked, "We came here to join the Qilin Academy. Do you know what to do?"
The waiter had been hanging around in the First Heaven for many years and had seen many people. Although his realm was not high, he could tell that Wang Hao and Jia Houwei were qualified to join the Qilin Academy.
"Dear guests, the Three Great Academies will recruit students every autumn. There are still two months left before the recruitment. You two might as well wait for a while. When the recruitment day is near, the Three Great Academies will post a notice. Naturally, you will know how to join."
Jia Houwei continued, "When I entered the city, I found that the Yuan Qi concentration in the city is three times that of the outside. What's going on?"
The waiter explained, "The nine city walls of Holy Domain are nine Spirit Gathering Grand Formations. It can cut down the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the closer one gets to the center of the Holy Domain, the more Yuan energy there is. The concentration of Yuan Qi in the First Heaven was three times that in the outer domain, while the Second Heaven was three times that of the First Heaven. Let's do it one by one. "
Wang Hao and Jia Houwei were shocked when they heard the waiter's explanation. No wonder there were so many powerful warriors in the Holy Domain. It turned out that this was the secret!
The concentration of Yuan Qi in the First Heaven was three times that in the outer domain, and the Second Heaven was nine times that of the Second Heaven. Level Three was twenty-seven times... And so on and so forth, the concentration of Yuan Qi in the Ninth Heaven was six thousand five hundred and sixty-one times that of the outer domain!
"What level is the Three Great Academies at?"
"At the Third Heaven."
Wang Hao calculated silently. With his cultivation speed, 27 times the Yuan Qi concentration would definitely bring him a lot of benefits.
"I must join the Qilin Academy!"
In the following time, Wang Hao and Jia Houwei asked a lot of questions. The waiter answered them one by one until they had nothing else to ask. Only then did he let the waiter go.
The two of them prepared to eat, but before they could pick up their chopsticks, they were interrupted by a few exclamations.
"Did you guys hear? Today, the Chiang family has gone to find trouble with the Lin family!"
"Really? Quickly go and take a look. This is going to be a big show! "
"That's right! Everyone, let's go! If we're late, we won't be able to watch the show!"
Hearing the discussions of the people in the restaurant, Wang Hao muttered to himself, "Lin family... Chiang family? Not good! Lin Fei is in trouble!"
Wang Hao pulled Jia Houwei, who was eating and drinking, and threw down some primeval stones before rushing out of the restaurant.
Following the crowd, Wang Hao and Wang Hao quickly found a huge mansion. On the plaque of the mansion, there were two big words written on it - Lin Residence!
The soldiers of the Lin Residence stood guard in front of their main gate. In front of them was a group of aggressive warriors.
One of them was a fierce-looking man who was scolding, "Lin Fei, you killed the young master of Chiang family, why aren't you coming out to plead guilty?"
Not long after he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate with an angry face. The soldiers of the Lin family immediately bowed.
"Butler!"
The middle-aged steward glared at the man and scolded, "Jiang Tian, do you really think that Lin family is afraid of your Chiang family? This is the third time that you have come to my mansion to scold us. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for calling my soldiers to beat you up and send you away!"
