As Minghe took his seat, one of them introduced himself. "Elder Minghe, I’m Elder Leiyun". He continued, "This is Elder Jiangwu, Elder Hengpeng, Elder Zhongnan, Elder Guqi, Elder Shouzhou, and Elder Hongquan. As for our dean, he is still in Closed Door Meditation. Thus, we seven welcome you as our new Elder on his behalf."

Minghe nodded and smiled. "Thank you all. I’ve been promoted for a long time. But due to my Closed Door Meditation, this is my first time here. I didn’t expect such a party. I’m really flattered." Naturally, he was surprised, but what interested Minghe was why they had shown up together.

Elder Hengpeng noticed Minghe’s doubts and answered, "I know Elder Minghe has questions. Why are we all here to welcome you? Let’s be straight. Apart from the welcome party, we’d also like to talk with you about the opening of the Mystery Territory of Earth in 60,000 years."

Hearing this, Minghe’s mind was quickly filled with the information of the Mystery Territory of Earth. Thanks to the library, he knew that the Mystery Territory of Earth was created by an almighty expert before his departure into the High Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. The expert was none other than Priest Earth, a legend in the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons.

Priest Earth used to practice the Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays at the same time. He was not such a master of fighting skills, but still, he was well known for his achievements on the three Laws. He was popular then, since his elixir, tactical formations, and Magic Weapons were all the best.

When he finally reached the Half Step to the Supreme Realm, he spent 10s of thousands of years to build such a Mystery Territory of Earth, leaving his Spiritual Inheritance on the Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays inside. For instance, a large portion of the information on refining weapons and tactical formations in the library were acquired in the Mystery Territory of Earth. Thus, every time it opened, every expert in the entire Eastern Region acted soon afterward.

The Mystery Territory of Earth opened every 1,000,000 years. It was only 60,000 years before its next opening. Minghe finally realized why the Fate Realm experts had opted not to enter the Central Region Academy. They had been waiting for this grand opening. Only then would they go to the Central Region.

However, not everyone was qualified to enter the Mystery Territory of Earth. Priest Earth created it to pass on his Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays and he had prohibited cultivators who were over the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm from entering. Besides, fighting was also banned. Breaking the two rules would lead to tactical formation attacks from the Mystery Territory.

Still, people tried to break the rules. Thus, even experts at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm had been terminated by the tactical formations. The Supreme Realm tactical formations had always been protecting the Mystery Territory of Earth well. Otherwise, such a place would have been exploited or taken by some force long ago.

Legend had it that when it opened, three doors appeared representing the Spiritual Inheritance on the three Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays respectively. One could only choose one door and gain one opportunity. Even if you waited until the next opening, you could not open the same door. Therefore, one had only three attempts to enter the Mystery Territory.

Minghe naturally took interest in such a Mystery Territory. He mastered two of the Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays. He certainly could not miss Priest Earth’s Spiritual Inheritance of Laws of Weapons and Arrays! Of course, there might also be elixir, Tactical Fields, and Magic Weapons inside the Mystery Territory. Minghe had to pass the test to get them.

However, the Mystery Territory of Earth had been in existence for so long and most of the treasures had been taken. Thus, you might need some luck to find even one. There were indeed undiscovered treasures but only a few. Therefore, Minghe did not take it seriously and focused on the Spiritual Inheritance of the laws of Weapons and Arrays.

Minghe gained some extra knowledge of the Mystery Territory of Earth from Elder Hengpeng’s account. Minghe found it helpful because the account was missing on the Jade Slips in the library. Additionally, seemingly they were here to have a discussion, but actually, it was about prying into his plans. After all, Minghe’s promotion as an Elder greatly affected them.

The seven Elders and the dean had chosen not to go to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region due to the opening of the Mystery Territory of Earth. Whatever they found in the Mystery Realm, they would find to be helpful during their stay in the Central Region.

The eight Fate Realm experts had agreed on moving to the Central Region after they ventured into the Mystery Territory. In that case, there would be no Fate Realm experts in any of the factions in the academy, thus keeping the balance of the power. But, Minghe’s sudden rise to the Fate Realm broke the balance, so naturally, the Elders cared about Minghe’s plans very much.

Minghe sensed their worry and revealed his plans directly. He did not intend to establish a force or stay in the Eastern Region. He would go to the Central Region after the Mystery Territory opened. Knowing Minghe’s plans, they felt relieved. After all, following their departure, their descendants would still live on in the Eastern Region. If Minghe should stay, they would probably have to adjust their original plan.

With Minghe’s reply, the seven Elders felt at ease. Once all the Fate Realm experts had gone to the Central Region, the factions in the academy would still be balanced in power, until new Fate Realm experts could emerge to be the new dean and Elders. The possibility of a power reshuffle in the academy was low because the existing factions had already seized many resources. Out of the factions, anyone who wanted to be a Fate Realm master would find it hard.

Regarding this, Minghe did not care too much because Yun Ling Academy in the Eastern Region was just a stepping stone. Though the resources in the academy still appealed to him, he found it effortless to obtain them as an Elder. After learning about the existence of the Central Region, he was apparently more drawn to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region, since there had to be more resources there.
