On the 3rd day, the first glimmer of dawn had just descended to the world when numerous figures had flashed out from within Ancient Domain City. Before long, more and more figures did the same. In the end, countless figures had flashed out from within the city, and all of them were flashing towards a single direction! Today was the day that the Hidden Dragon Pagoda would be opened! At an area over 3,000km away to the southeast of Ancient Domain City was numerous large mountains that formed a circle while a sunken valley resided at the center of them. It was a practically perfect circle, and it was over 10m wide. Countless profounders stood at the peak of the mountains. At this moment, all of them were excited because they’d been in the Ancient Battlefield for many months and had waited throughout these months. Now, the time for the Hidden Dragon Pagoda to be opened had finally come, so how could they not be excited? As he stood amongst the crowd and gazed at the valley, Tang Ye was excited as well because he was one step closer towards waking Xiao Yuxi up. However, he also had a heavy feeling as well. Because he knew how brutal it would be once the Hidden Dragon Pagoda was opened! The Hidden Dragon Rankings that would be carried out within the pagoda was incomparable to the Ascension Rankings. Because the Ascension Rankings consisted of battles that stopped upon victory, but the Hidden Dragon Rankings wasn’t the same. It consisted of battles that only ended with the death of one party! The Hidden Dragon Pagoda was divided into 5 levels, and one’s speed of cultivation on every single level was different. On the 1st level, cultivating for a single day was equivalent to 10 days of cultivating in the outside world. On the 2nd level, cultivating for a single day was equivalent to 20 days of cultivating in the outside world. On the 3rd level, cultivating for a single day was equivalent to 1 month of cultivating in the outside world.On the 4th level, cultivating for a single day was equivalent to 3 months of cultivating in the outside world. As for the 5th level, Tang Ye didn’t know its effects because only the geniuses who had ascended to the level knew the answer! Under such circumstances, countless people naturally desired to ascend to the highest level because the Hidden Dragon Pagoda would only be kept open for 10 days! Thus there was a problem. The Hidden Dragon Pagoda had an extremely brutal rule, and it was that besides the 1st level, every other level could only accommodate 100 people. Moreover, the fewer the people on a level was, the denser the Karmic Luck there would be, and everyone would get a larger share! So, the weak would naturally be eliminated, whereas, elimination represented death. Because it was impossible to leave the pagoda until the Hidden Dragon Rankings was completed! As for why it was impossible to leave, the information Tang Ye gathered didn’t have the answer to that question! In any case, one could only leave the Hidden Dragon Pagoda once the Hidden Dragon Rankings had come to an end. Of course, if one didn’t possess sufficient strength, then it was best to stay obediently on the 1st level, even if competition still existed on the 1st level. What were they competing for? It was naturally for Karmic Luck! However, the intensity of this competition was insignificant when compared to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level! In short, for the sake of being able to improve their strengths at a quicker rate, the countless profounders here would fight desperately in order to charge up the pagoda. This process was called ‘ascending the rankings’. The process of ascension was extremely brutal because from the 2nd level, every time an extra person arrived on the level, it represented the death of another.... The Hidden Dragon Pagoda was a paradise of cultivation for profounders because their strengths would improve at an extremely swift pace. Moreover, they would even be able to obtain Karmic Luck and enjoy the providence of the heavens and the earth. However, at the same time, it was also hell for profounders because one could lose one’s life at any time while residing within the pagoda! Actually, the most exciting part of the Hidden Dragon Rankings was the competition on the 4th level! There was a combat arena on the 4th level, and it was called the Hidden Dragon Arena. The 10 strongest geniuses would be decided on the arena, and they would be listed on the rankings while their names would spread throughout the continent. Moreover, they would even have the opportunity to receive Karmic Luck that descended solely onto them! This was the only opportunity one had to obtain a portion of Karmic Luck that belonged solely to one, and it was only then that one could divide the Karmic Luck to one’s clan, loved ones, or anyone else. So, the most exciting part of the Hidden Dragon Pagoda was the competition to ascend the rankings. Because it was a collision between true geniuses, and it was a true and fierce battle between monstrous geniuses. Ascending the rankings was done by stepping on the corpses of other monstrous geniuses! A fiery red sun gradually ascended on the horizon while golden rays of sunlight descended and added a thin layer of gold onto the profounders here. An Nanjing who held Skysplit in her hand appeared before everyone. At the same time, a white haired old man appeared as well. The white haired old man glanced at An Nanjing and nodded lightly to her before he swept his gaze towards the profounders in the surroundings. He said, “Does anyone intend to withdraw? It’s your last chance. Once you enter the pagoda, then you can only leave once everything comes to an end!” “No!” The thousands of profounders in the surroundings replied in unison. Withdraw? What a joke! How difficult had it been for them to arrive at the southern territory and the Ancient Battlefield here? How could they possibly live up to the expectations of their clansmen, sects, or themselves if they were to withdraw now? Most people were selfish, but they had determination as well. If they were to withdraw now, then would they be any different from cowards? The white haired old man nodded, and then he gazed at An Nanjing. The latter understood the white haired old man’s intentions, and she made a tossing motion with her right hand. The Skysplit Spear shot into the white haired old man’s hand.
