From the second day onwards, several disciples from the Immortal Palace made a special trip to the back mountain to visit the kendo genius that appeared in the night.

At first, with Lyu Liang’s personality, he didn’t want to reveal this face. He even thought about pushing these to Xu Mubai. After all, Xu Mubai was at the Late-stage of Gold Core, and he could stimulate the ‘complete state’ of the magic treasure. It was also reasonable for him to wave out such a mighty sword move.

But later, he had come to understand that he could stop the others for once and couldn’t stop the second time. Even if he pushed all these onto Xu Mubai, what about later? There would come a day to let others know, and in this case, he should just admit it!

Therefore, for every wave of visiting Immortal Palace disciples, Lyu Liang welcomed them warmly. It was not until three more days later that the enthusiasm for this visit gradually dispersed. In the situation that Lyu Liang’s mouth corners were almost cramping, the back mountain also returned to peace.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the Hunyuan Sword Immortal, in the Immortal Palace, it was rumored that Lyu Liang, who was at the back mountain, was actually the registered disciple of the chief ancestor. Because of his high talent in the Sword Tao, he was arranged in the back mountain which was quiet for concentrated meditation.

After another three days, Lyu Liang made a special trip to visit the old herb man. Because he heard Zhang Ran say before, in the days when Lyu Liang had his closed-door meditation, it was the busiest time at the back mountain. Many disciples brought the scrolls of their ancestors to collect medicine or refine the pills. Although the old herb man complained that Lyu Liang was not helpful, he still arranged everything in order.

This made Lyu Liang really touched, especially when he only came out after 10 days. No matter what, it looked like he deliberately hid from the busiest ten days. Therefore, Lyu Liang went to the front mountain and found Li Wuyi. He used his convenient condition as a Gold Core disciple, to be free from restrictions on the exit of the palace. He asked him to bring some common things to eat and drink from the market place of Tianshui Country.

Li Wuyi said nothing else, and let Lyu Liang go back and wait in assurance. After half a day, Li Wuyi came, directly throwing a storage bag to Lyu Liang. After Lyu Liang opened, he was all smiles. Hey, the wines and delicacies inside, not only were they enough to eat for a month, it was estimated to be enough for a year! He this time should be able to make the old herb man soothe down his anger.

Sure enough, when he saw the food and drink brought over by Lyu Liang, the old herb man’s grievances had already disappeared. At this time, the founding father of Sword Character actually took the initiative to message Lyu Liang through the jade and asked him to go to the main hall of the Immortal Palace immediately. After making an appointment with the old herb man the next date to eat and drink, Lyu Liang said goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of Lyu Liang’s departure, the old drug man sighed slightly and looked up at the sky. He seemed to mutter to himself, “Is it another millennium already? The Land of Origin will have another sanguinary slaughter!”

…

When Lyu Liang rushed to the main hall of the Immortal Palace, the Hunyuan Sword Immortal was waiting for Lyu Liang outside the hall. After seeing him, he led him directly to a secret room inside, and the founding father of Sword Character was contemplating there, his head lowered. At the same time, he was playing with the Demon Emperor Horns that emitted a strong Demon Qi on his hands.

Seeing that the Hunyuan Sword Immortal and Lyu Liang came in, the founding father of Sword Character smiled slightly, looked at Lyu Liang and acclaimed, “You are indeed a pro-disciple of the elder brother. Like him, you are not a person who is willing to be silent.”

Lyu Liang naturally understood what it meant. He was embarrassed and scratched his head, waiting for the Ancestor to continue to talk.

Sure enough, the founding father of Sword Character raised his hand, and the Demon Emperor Horn flew to Lyu Liang. At the same time, his voice became serious, “Little Liang, I was planning to wait for you to reach the Gold Core Stage and give you the Demon Emperor Horn, and tell you things about the Land of Origin. However, as you progress speedily, I decided to tell you earlier and let you prepare for it.”

Lyu Liang’s expression also turned solemn, and he knew that this should be the great opportunity that the ancestor had mentioned earlier.

“Twenty years later, it is the opening day of the Land of Origin of the Demon Clan. When you reach above the Middle-stage of Gold Core, you will join the four cultivators who will be in the Middle, Late or Peak Stage of Gold Core. Five of you will form a group and go to the Zishui Country of the Kunlun Territory in the Mortal Realm which was in the vicinity of the Demon Realm. You will participate in the ‘Martial Arts Contest’ organized by Immortal Allies. The winning team will get the qualification to enter the Land of Origin. Next, I will also explain to you one by one.

“At the beginning when the Chaos World separated the six races were born. The powerful figures of each ethnic group divided space for their own recuperation at the places where the tribes lived together. These places are the roots of the dynasties of all the powerful figures from various ethnic groups. In the places, there are countless top-grade natural treasures and mantras. The descendants of the world called these places the Land of Origin.

“Later, with the intensification of the war, the powerful figures from the Immortal Clan, Ghost Clan the Spirit Clan moved their Land of Origin and their people to an independent space. They were now the Heaven Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Spirit Realm.

“And the melee of three realms that began later led directly to the disappearance of the Land of Origin of the Human Clan and Devil Clan. So far, only the Land of Origin of Demon Clan remains in the three Realms. The location is close to the Kunlun Territory in the Mortal Realm. It is the Xuanwu Territory of the Demon Realm.

“After peace was restored in the three realms, the powerful figures of three realms finally agreed to use the only remaining Land of Origin in the three realms as an opportunity land for the descendants of three tribes. It is open every one thousand years and has clear restrictions on the cultivation level of the entrants. For the Human Clan, only those who have reached the three stages of the Middle-stage of Gold Core, Late-stage of Gold Core and the Peak of Gold Core can enter. As for the Demon Clan and the Devil Clan, the corresponding level can also enter.

“The cultivator who is eligible to enter the Land of Origin can stay in it for ten years and then will be sent out by force. At the same time, the Land of Origin will be closed until the next millennium, and then it reopens.

“The selection of the Human Clan began 10,000 years ago, and Immortal Allies established the rules. Every two months before the opening of the Land of Origin, the ‘Martial Arts Contest’ will be held in the Thousands Beast Mansion in Zishui Country, Kunlun Territory which belong to the Immortal Allies. The five people whose cultivation are qualified will be in a group. After competing with the other five-people groups, they will decide the ten best teams that will get the qualification to enter the Land of Origin.

“But there are exceptions to everything. There is a Demon Clan token that allows the holder to enter the Land of Origin without having to go through the selection, and the holder does not have to follow the rules of the millennium, and can enter directly at any time. More importantly, the person who holds this token can obtain the qualification to enter the core area of the Land of Origin. This token, I believe you have guessed out already, it is the Demon Emperor Horn that reaches the immortal standard level.

“The Demon Clan, classified with the cultivation, starts from the Little Demon Level to the Great Demon Level, Demon Spirit Level, Demon Soldier Level, Demon General Level. After reaching the Peak of the Demon General Level, the demon has to survive the ordeal to become a Heaven Demon, Fairy Demon and finally the Demon Emperor.

“The Demon Emperor Horn is the token left by the powerful figures from the Demon Clan, who once lived in the Land of Origin back then. The token is a qualification for the next generation tribes to enter the core area of the land. Because the age is too long, many Demon Emperor Horns are either missing or drained its Demon Qi. In fact, the number of Demon Emperor Horn is limited, and now it is even rarer to reach the eligibility criteria for entering the core area. The token in your hand is the qualification token for entering!”

“Initially, with this thing, your group of five people can enter the Land of Origin in Demon Clan at your own freedom. But if you do that, it is likely to cause you fatal disaster. After all, the temptation of the core area is too big. So, although I will give you this horn, I hope that you will be able to upgrade your cultivation to the Middle-stage of Gold Core in the next twenty years and find four companions. You will enter the Land of Origin according to the rules. If the time is right, you can consider whether to enter the core area. You have to remember that after using the Demon Emperor Horn to enter once, the Demon Qi inside will be completely dispersed.”

In the end, the founding father of Sword Character seemed to think of something again, and the tone was somewhat low. “Do you know? The Sunset Kingdom in the Ghost Realm is actually the Land of Origin of the Ghost Realm. It is said that the Six Lands of Origin consist of clues to their connection. For thousands of years, there are countless disciples of my Immortal Palace who have entered the Land of Origin of Demon Clan. But the disciples who can live out have not found any clues to the other Five Lands of Origin. I have always suspected the clues are likely to be in the core area.”

After the talk, the founding father of Sword Character looked at Lyu Liang in a complicated way and seemed to want to say something else. But eventually, he looked up and sighed, and did not speak.

Lyu Liang had already understood what the founding father of Sword Character wanted to say but not said, without hesitation, he swore, “Master, rest assured! If there is a chance, I will go into the core area to explore! If I am lucky enough to find the clues to other Five Lands of Origin, I will definitely come out alive and tell Master and Xuan Nyu Fairy! As for the Sunset Kingdom, it is a place that I will go to this life!”

“Good!” When the founding father of Sword Character heard the words, he slammed on the table and then raised his hand. A scroll with a quaint aura flew to the front of Lyu Liang. “This scroll is handed to me by my brother after he returned from the Heaven Realm. He asked me to hand it over to his pro-disciples to gain insights on his Sword Tao domain. I have seen your recent performances, and you seem to have touched the threshold of the domain. Although you are not really counted as a pro-disciple of the elder brother, I have made an exception to give you this. I hope it will help you with the trip to the Land of Origin twenty years later!”

Lyu Liang was overjoyed! Domain! This was the method that Lyu Liang dreamed of comprehending early! He couldn’t forget the power of domain that broke out when he killed the chunky blue-robed man that day. Moreover, at that time he did not know the concept of the ‘complete state’ of the magic treasure. Now came to think about it, if he combined the power of the ‘complete state’ of Feiling Sword and Gold-thunder Five-dragon Sword, the domain that had been produced, wow… just thinking about it made Lyu Liang fell amazed!

After coming out from the main hall of the Immortal Palace, Lyu Liang went straight back to the cave residence and began to recollect the words spoken by the founding father of Sword Character.

“In addition to myself, I still need four Taoism peers at the Middle-stage of the Gold Core. Those four candidates must be extremely reliable. After all, they will all have the qualification to enter the core area.” Lyu Liang quietly closed his eyes and contemplated. Immediately, Shangguan Ying’s beautiful appearance emerged in his mind. “Ying’er! You will be able to go with me for sure!”

As for the other two candidates, he had a few ideas in his heart. They were Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi who had gone through life and death situation with him! Needless to say about Xu Mubai, although they had only known each other for a short while, for his momentum of not caring about death, he was worthy of being Lyu Liang’s life and death brother.

As for Li Wuyi, after this incident, Lyu Liang had greatly changed his impression towards him. On the occasion of life and death, he could think of letting his two followers go first. After that, although he knew that his cultivation had already resumed to the Early-stage of Gold Core, he still rushed to the enemy at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul in a daredevil way. By looking only at these two points, they were worth Lyu Liang’s trust!

After a short while, Lyu Liang suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had made a great decision. His whispered in his mouth, “I will choose three of you! As for the fifth person, there is time anyway. Fate will let us meet!”
