Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan - Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Chapter 78: Xuanyuan Universe, Upper Realm War_2
By joining these top Sects, one would gain the qualification to participate in the war in the Upper Realm!

The Upper Realm, a world of higher rank than the Xuanyuan Universe.

It has a better environment for cultivation, along with near-infinite resources.

The resources of a universe are limited, and hence, the number of strong people it can foster is also limited.

However, the Upper Realm is the territory contested over by all the top powers.

However, in contrast to the internal struggles, they have more enemies from other universes.

The Upper Realm?

Ye Fan suddenly recalled the information he got from the Wan Sheng Sect about the Saint World.

This Upper Realm should be a place of the same nature as the Saint World.

…

“Ye XiaoFan? A Semi-Saint in the late stage of cultivation, are you sure you want to join the Wanhai Saint Sect?”

A Semi-Saint in charge of recruitment looked at Ye XiaoFan and asked after making sure Ye XiaoFan does not have any significant issues.

The Wanhai Saint Sect, with “Saint” in its name, is naturally one of the top forces in the Xuanyuan Universe, boasting Saints amongst their ranks.

“I want to go to the Upper Realm.”

Hearing Ye XiaoFan’s words, a cryptic smile appeared on the face of the Semi-Saint of the Wanhai Saint Sect, as if Ye XiaoFan’s aspiration was something laughable.

The Semi-Saint, however, did not reject. Instead, he recorded Ye XiaoFan’s information on a token and then let Ye XiaoFan store his soul aura onto it.

Once everything was done, Ye XiaoFan was brought into the Wanhai Saint Sect.

A dark teleportation door appeared in front of him.

Besides Ye XiaoFan, many other Cultivators were also accessing the teleportation door to go to the Upper Realm.

After verifying Ye XiaoFan’s identity token, the guard did not give Ye XiaoFan a hard time, signalling him to proceed through the teleportation portal.

After a violent distortion of space, Ye XiaoFan finally arrived in this Upper Realm, a place which provoked his intense curiosity.

At an infinite distance, within the Ye Family, Ye Fan was observing this Upper Realm through the eyes of this clone, Ye XiaoFan.

At first glance, this Upper Realm looked like a large ruin, seemingly devoid of any life.

Besides the ruins, there were only desolute-looking Cultivators.

“I’m going to lay down the rules of the Upper Realm for all the newcomers. Otherwise, it would be a shame if you die without even knowing how.”

The Upper Realm is vast, so vast that it is still unexplored in its entirety.

Dangers, traps, all sorts of horrific creatures may appear anywhere while they are exploring.

Every area successfully explored cost the lives of countless Cultivators.

Cultivators at the level of the Taoist Ancestor were quickly taken away, seemingly for mining.

Semi-Saints, however, do not need to mine. They get taken directly to where they will defend the territory of the Wanhai Saint Sect, fending off attacks from other forces and Cultivators from other universes.

“The closest force to us is the Saint Alliance. If you get attacked by their Semi-Saints, you must strike back with everything you’ve got. But if you encounter an attack from Saints, then you will have bad luck.”

“The task of defending the territory recurs every hundred years for a hundred contribution points.”

“Try to exchange your contribution points for resources as quickly as possible after they are awarded. Otherwise, you might not even have a life to spend it next time.”

“I hope you guys are a bit luckier and manage to cultivate to the level of a Saint.”

…

The Saint giving instructions was chatty, not displaying the aloof demeanor typical of Saints.

Most Semi-Saints were calm after hearing the Saint’s description, only a small portion looked horrified, they hadn’t expected the place to be so dangerous.

However, none dared to say they wanted to leave. Before entering, they all signed an agreement with the Wanhai Saint Sect.

Without a thousand years, they did not have the right to leave the Upper Realm.

If they chose to run away, with their cultivation level as Semi-Saints, there’s no way they could survive here!

In the wilderness, countless Semi-Saints or even Saints had been buried.

Only now did Ye XiaoFan realize why the person in charge had that strange expression when he first arrived.

One can say, they were deceived into coming here.

Baited by the benefits, they were completely ignorant of the danger.

Ye Fan was not surprised by this outcome.

To reap benefits without giving anything, where would such good things happen?

“Ye XiaoFan, you are assigned to the six-hundredth mine.”

The six-hundredth mine. Upon hearing this, a few Semi-Saints who had some knowledge about the place instantly looked at Ye XiaoFan with pity in their eyes.

When it was the turn of the next cultivator, he hurriedly and surreptitiously passed over a spatial ring.

The Saint Realm strongman responsible for allocation saw the spatial ring in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Nice, very nice.

“Han Dong Semi-Saint, you are assigned to the 210th Immortal Forest.”

A smile immediately appeared on Han Dong Semi-Saint’s face.

Here, the larger the number, the closer to the periphery, the higher the possibility of an attack.

In the interior, safety greatly increases, and one might just have a chance to survive until breaking through to the Saint Realm.

The other Semi-Saints who did not understand the rules also reacted one after another, following the example, hoping to find a good position.

Those like Ye XiaoFan, who had already been excluded, were filled with regret.

It was already too late to remedy.

Before the arrangement, the Saints could still manipulate things a bit.

But now that it’s arranged, any further manipulation would look unseemingly.

Wan Sheng Sect, it’s not just him alone who is a Saint!

Ye XiaoFan didn’t have much reaction, he came here this time just to gather some intel.

If there really is danger, he still has the Space-Time Disk!

He certainly wouldn’t just stand idle without trying to escape.

In the blink of an eye, Ye XiaoFan has spent ten years in the 600th mine.

The other Semi-Saints were all immensely relieved, for nothing happened over these ten years.

As long as they can hold on for another ninety years, after changing shifts, they no longer need to be on constant edge.

According to past practices, generally speaking, after doing a dangerous task once, the next one will be assigned to a safer place.

After all, if it’s always dangerous tasks, it wouldn’t sound too good for Wan Sheng Sect.

With such a large territory, relying on the cultivators nurtured by Wan Sheng Sect alone is certainly not enough; they also need to recruit other cultivators to guard it!

At least, they must give these cultivators some hope.

It would be best to produce a Saint Realm strongman every few tens of thousands of years, with this visible hope, they could continuously attract new cultivators to the Upper Realm.

And the powerhouses of Wan Sheng Sect, of course, all stay in the safest places.

This is the foundation of a large sect, being able to occupy a territory in the Upper Realm is something small forces cannot achieve.

Semi-Saints of small forces who want to gain enough resources can only join these large forces, doing the most dangerous tasks, and gaining the least benefits.

Suddenly, streaks of light from the sky bombarded the 600th mine.

“Enemy attack!”

The Semi-Saint in charge of defense reacted instantly, flying towards the sky to intercept.

The sky-filled attack was blocked most of the time in an instant.

But the miners in the Immortal Emperor and Taoist Ancestor Realm still suffered numerous casualties.

In the face of the slain and injured miners, the Semi-Saints had no reaction at all.

Having chosen to come here to earn resources, they must bear the consequences.

A strongman in the Taoist Ancestor Realm, as long as he can stay here for ten thousand years, the resources obtained would be basically enough to break through into the Semi-Saint Realm.

But most of the Taoist Ancestor strongmen didn’t have the chance to wait until their breakthrough. They died in attacks that they didn’t know when would come.

But even so, it still couldn’t stop the Taoists from heading to the Upper Realm to mine.

At least, in the Upper Realm, they could see the hope of a breakthrough.

While in the Xuanyuan Universe, they could only wait until their Dao Heart collapsed without being able to break through.

“It’s the Saint Alliance.”

A Semi-Saint quickly recognized the identity of the attacker and promptly warned.

Although they all cultivate the Immortal Dao, there are still some differences.

Semi-Saints who have been in the Upper Realm for a long time can easily distinguish this.

The next moment, a Holy Artifact directly broke through a Semi-Saint’s body-shielding Holy Artifact.

A Semi-Saint strongman just fell like that.

Without any ripples.

The faces of several Semi-Saints instantly turned ugly.

“It’s over, this time the Saint Alliance actually sent a Semi-Saint.”
