He had originally promised Ning Xiaochuan that he would place among the top three in this tournament, yet he had failed to do so.
The Second Palace Lord felt that he had shortchanged Ning Xiaochuan, so he arranged a spiritual land within the Ten Thousand Swords Palace's training grounds for Ning Xiaochuan to reside in temporarily, where he could refine pills and cultivate.
One had to know that this was sacred soil, a place where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold.
After the Core Disciple selection competition ended, anyone wishing to remain in the sacred soil to cultivate had to pay a huge amount of Profound Stones or go out to carry out missions for Heavenly Emperor Mountain, accumulating Merit Points! They could use Merit Points to exchange for the right to continue cultivating in the sacred soil.
To occupy a spiritual land in Heavenly Emperor Mountain's sacred soil required paying a vast amount of Merit Points! Yet Ning Xiaochuan did not need to pay any Merit Points now, because the Second Palace Lord had arranged this place for him. Who would dare say no?
Within the Ten Thousand Swords Palace, only figures at the elder level were qualified to reside temporarily in spiritual lands.
Ning Xiaochuan was the first exception.
A so-called "spiritual land" was a place where spiritual acupoints and Earth Veins converged, an incomparably precious land for cultivation. Those legendary great masters generally had to seek out a spiritual land when opening up a cave abode, only then could they establish a true blessed grotto-heaven.
The spiritual lands within Heavenly Emperor Mountain were even more wondrous than those elsewhere. Not only were they places where spiritual acupoints and Earth Veins gathered, they also contained the Dao intent left behind by ancient sages.
