Luminous Domain Mansion. Of the five immortal kings, one stayed behind to watch the entrance while the four stuck with the immortal survivors. Before long, they reached a residence the size of a small town. Yes. There were residences on the seventh level. This was quite rare on the other levels. There used to be residences on those levels as well, but most had either been damaged or taken apart over the years. The seventh level was the exception. Back then, this was the place where the top experts would reside. From marquises to generals, all sorts of super experts used to stay. Thus, these residences were too powerful to be taken apart or damaged. In any case, nobody dared to try anything reckless due to the existence of the death tunnel on the seventh level. Above the gate of the residence, three characters written in willpower characters could be seen. "Qi Yun's Residence." Immortal King Yueshi, who was also the immortal king who had spoken of this residence earlier, said, "This was the residence of Marquis Qiyun. He was an immortal expert of the ancient past. At the time, everyone abided by a strict ladder of ranks. Of the myriad races, there was an Emperor, many Pseudo Emperors, many human kings, many titled generals, and many untitled generals. These were the elites of the ancient past. Everyone else was considered regular cultivators." Of the immortals, Xuan Wuji was both young and ambitious. He did not hold too much reverence toward the ancient experts. His ancestor, Xuan King, wasn't here. However, Immortal King Yueshi was a good friend of Xuan King. He said, "From the ancient records, only the Human Emperor could call himself an Emperor. The experts of the other races could only call themselves Pseudo Emperors. What an irony. The Pseudo Emperors are still around yet the Human Emperor is no more. The human has lost their past glory." The myriad races acknowledged the status of the ancient humans. That was why they would never allow humanity to reach such a height again. Immortal King Yueshi said, "No race can remain prosperous for eternity. This applies to the humans. This might also apply to the immortals. Who knows if we'll still be around during the next epoch? Thus, juniors like you must keep working hard. The immortals have remained strong because of the hard work and patience of our seniors. Marquis Qiyun was a Daofuse during the ancient past. He was boundlessly powerful. But such a person was merely a nobody forced to settle down at a forgotten corner of this mansion. He was forbidden from even returning to the Immortal Realm." He sneered and continued, "Do you believe that a Daofuse would enjoy staying here? Above him, there was the assembly. And above the assembly was the Human Emperor. Who would enjoy staying here? This was the life of a prisoner. However, the rules of the ancient past were strict. After conquering the Myriad Realms, the Human Emperor had forced almost all Daofuses to stay in the mansion to limit what the various races could do. Unless one had an official task outside the mansion, one would be forced to stay in the mansion. Even the Pseudo Emperors were no exception. They were essentially hostages. Thus, all of them had died during the great collapse." He shook his head and sighed, "Only those too weak to be stationed in the mansion had survived. Those were the lucky ones. Not a single expert inside the Luminous Domain Mansion remained. Those were the true elites of the Myriad Realms. All of them were gone during the great collapse." Boundless regret could be heard from his sigh. All those elites were gone just like that. That was how the ancient past had collapsed. The people like Heavenly Overseer Marquis had survived because they were outside the mansion for their official tasks. The old turtle was one of them as well. That was how they had survived. Nobody even knew how the experts in the mansion had perished. The fate of those experts remained a mystery. Not a single corpse had been discovered in the Luminous Domain Mansion so far. Immortal King Xuan He laughed and said, "Alright. That's ancient history. What's the point of talking about all that?" He looked at the others and said, "The seventh level is different from the lower levels. This is an extremely dangerous level. Do not roam around for no good reason. Of course, we won't stop you if you're feeling brave. You are free to leave and seek your opportunities elsewhere. Everyone has their own path to take. Perhaps your path involves surviving this level alone. I can only say that this residence will be much safer for you. The residence still has most of his functions. The main formation is still active. Nobody can enter the residence unless someone activates the formation inside. Otherwise, even Invincibles will have a hard time breaking into the residence. "That is the first thing you need to know. Secondly, stay away from the nine-leaf skylotus. Don't even approach that area. That is an extremely dangerous place. Don't enter the residence. That was the residence of the Devote King. There is a death tunnel in there. The laws inside are very similar to the laws of the ancient cities outside..." Immortal King Xuan He turned solemn as he continued, "Killing there could easily attract death spirits. Even death sovereigns could appear there. Do not enter that residence without permission. "Thirdly, do not attempt to enter any other residences. Even when you're treasure seeking, be very careful. This is especially true for non-immortal residences. Entering such residences will guarantee your death. "Fourthly, do not enter the eighth level. The entrance is not far from Devote King's residence. It is also near the death tunnel. Do not enter that entrance. If you're feeling lucky or confident enough, you can try entering. But it is not advisable. Generally, only those reporting for duty are allowed to enter." Taihe grew curious. He asked respectfully, "Lord, reporting for duty...what does this refer to?" "That was the headquarters of the ancient Myriad Race Assembly. Only assembly members, human kings, and marquises are permitted to enter. Exceptions exist for those with specific duties. "For example, Su Yu might be able to enter. He is an ancient city mayor. And that is an officially acknowledged position. Some of the people capable of entering are already on the seventh level. For example, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is under the governance of the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Thus, his subordinates, such as the Heaven Department head, might be able to enter for specific duties. Even so, that is not a good idea. The ancient past is no more. This might be a one-way trip." Meanwhile, Su Yu's heart thumped. He could enter? Holy shit! Was this guy aware of his presence? Was this guy deliberately saying this to him? There was no way he would enter the eighth level. That must be a trap. He did not dare to keep this thought in his mind for long. He hurriedly took note of it before emptying his mind yet again. This had been quite educational for him. He was previously unaware of the fact that the Heavenly Overseer Marquis was the leader of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. The reveal had happened after his departure. Thus, he had been clueless about that. He was also surprised to learn that there was a Devote King's residence on the seventh level. That title sounded normal. But the moment he thought of its location atop the Heaven Connecting Acupoint...was the Devote King a devotee of the act of defecation? Was that a king of the human race? Was that human king aware of the unique location of his residence? One could only become a human king upon being conferred the title by the Human Emperor. This Devote King was probably in charge of suppressing both the death tunnel and Heaven Connecting Acupoint. A devoted guardian...that was quite a fitting title. Perhaps the Devote King was unaware of the true story. Was this...a secret joke of the Human Emperor? Su Yu didn't know how to feel. Was the Human Emperor a prankster? Why did that feel wrong? Perhaps the Devote King had offended the Human Emperor unknowingly? Suddenly, Immortal King Xuan He asked, "Ling Heng, what are you thinking about?" Su Yu's heart thumped. Hiding his alarm, he replied respectfully, "Lord, I'm wondering about one thing. The ancient cities have their stone statues suppressing the death tunnels. Is there someone living in the Devote King's residence? Is the ancient Devote King still alive? Without someone suppressing the death tunnel, death qi would have flooded the seventh level by now..." Immortal King Xuan He smiled and explained, "That's the outside world. Things are different in here. This was the residence of countless ancient experts. It's not a place death spirits can invade so easily. There are no living beings left on the seventh level. There is no guardian. The death tunnel is being suppressed by a divine weapon. But the weapon wasn't placed there for the explicit purpose of suppressing it. Rather, it was only placed there to prevent the death spirits from causing trouble out here. It would only activate when the death spirits violated the laws." They exclaimed in shock. A divine weapon? That was rarer than even carrier treasures. The sole publicly known divine weapon in existence was the Heavenly Hunt Index, and even that was a damaged divine weapon. Was there really one here? Why weren't the Invincibles fighting for it? Seemingly having noticed the greed everyone was feeling, Immortal King Yueshi said, "Stop dreaming. That weapon is there to suppress the tunnel for the laws. Nobody dares to take it. No matter how strong you are, taking the weapon might cause the invasion of death sovereigns. Additionally, you will also be subjected to the punishment of the laws. You will die." Xuan Wuji asked curiously, "Lord, what does that divine weapon look like?" "A saber. A very powerful saber." Immortal King Yueshi replied, "That might have been Devote King's personal weapon. During the ancient past, the human kings were incomparably powerful. If I can be honest, most of the current Pseudo Emperors won't even be a match for this Devote King." During the ancient past, the human kings were equal in rank to the Pseudo Emperors. Thus, it was natural that they would be stronger than the current Pseudo Emperors. Once again, they gasped in amazement. The ancient past. What a glorious era. An era of countless experts. Pseudo Emperors, human kings, marquises, generals... Not a single titled individual would be a weakling. The return of even one of these human kings could probably overturn the current balance of the Myriad Realms. "Let's stop wasting time. You guys should stay in there. I doubt you can find any opportunities in it. It has been explored for too many years. Then again, luck works in mysterious ways. You can still try your luck. Those interested in leaving may do so as well, but know that we will be too busy to protect you." Immortal King Yueshi said, "All of you are elites. You can make your own judgment. It's pointless for us to say too much. Perhaps some of you are even aiming for the nine-leaf skylotus. We won't stop that. Luck can change everything. In face of luck, even strength pales." The other immortal kings laughed. One of them looked at Xuan Wuji and the other top geniuses and said, "Xuan Wuji, top geniuses like you are blessed by fortune. You might get lucky. Of course, you should wait until the final day before making your move. That way, you will be able to leave right after snatching the treasure. With the protection of your seniors outside, you might be able to keep your harvest..." The immortal kings were clearly unbothered about these people. If they lacked the confidence to even compete against these juniors, they might as well give up now.
