Entering the Wild Sea was restricted.
No one beyond the Marquis Realm could enter.
Once they attempt to, they would be immediately ejected.
Thus, each power only sends Life and Death Realm warriors.
"The Wild Sea opens only once every hundred years.
"It is vast within and full of abundant resources.
"Unfortunately, we have never entered it, but we have obtained maps and information about the resource points from other forces."
Xi Yingqing began to explain in detail.
The human race had controlled the Wild Sea for many years, so they naturally knew its ins and outs well, including where Marquis treasures and Marquis Realm resources would appear.
"There are a total of ten Marquis treasures of varying levels, and they will be the targets of competition for everyone involved.
"The treasures are divided into three tiers. The higher the level, the greater the success rate of breakthrough.
"The most important aspect is that, after breaking through, the foundation of the Great Dao established will be firmer and thicker, with long-lasting effects.
"The third-tier treasure is extremely rare, with only one existing, located in the center of the Wild Sea. It's called the Wish Spirit Fruit.
"I hope you can obtain this fruit."
Xi Yingqing looked at Meng Changqing.
Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing raised an eyebrow.
It seemed there was something special about it.
"According to its effects, this fruit will greatly benefit your cultivation of the Undying Truth Heavenly King Art," Xi Yingqing explained.
Meng Changqing suddenly understood.
Treasures don't just aid in breakthroughs, they also have a variety of other effects.
Wish Spirit Fruit — what a fitting name.
"As for the other treasures, do your best, but don't force it." Xi Yingqing smiled, "As per tradition, Central Province has been allocated eighty spots, with Northern Plains, Western Desert, Southern Region, and Eastern Sea each receiving twenty."
"This means you will encounter the prodigies and top talents of the other three regions."
This was a title reserved for the top geniuses of each region.
"It'll be good to meet them. I've heard the techniques of the other regions are quite unique, but I'm not sure exactly how," Meng Changqing said with a smile.
"And then there are the prodigies of the Demonic Sect," Xi Yingqing said slowly, "The ten sects of the Demonic Sect have existed for a long time, and they've naturally kept invitations to many ancient places."
"The Demonic Path, huh?" Meng Changqing's gaze flickered.
He hadn't expected that.
He thought the Wild Sea would only have the young generation of the Five regions.
"But with your strength, whether it's the talents of the three regions or the prodigies of the Demonic Sect, few will be able to match you," Xi Yingqing said with a smile, "The only thing to be mindful of is that the operating rules of ancient places differ from reality. After entering, you will be somewhat suppressed. It varies from person to person and region to region.
"But all beings are equal, so everyone will experience the same.
"There's still a year before the Wild Sea opens. With your current performance, you'll definitely be targeted by many, so be prepared."
Hearing this, Meng Changqing nodded slightly, his face showing a smile as well.
To be honest, the previous Genius Battle wasn't as exciting as he'd hoped. In fact, it was a bit dull. But this Wild Sea should be much more interesting.
A year's time would be enough for him to reach the peak of the Life and Death Realm.
If he was lucky, he might even push his fist intent to tenfolds.
He remembered Senior Sister Hua saying that only when true intent reaches its full tenfolds will it undergo a qualitative change.
"Additionally, here are the resources you'll need for cultivating in the Life and Death Realm, rewards you earned from the Genius Battle. I've selected them all for you.
"They should be enough for your future cultivation."
Xi Yingqing took out a storage ring.
"Alright." Meng Changqing accepted it.
Without resource support, relying solely on self-comprehension wouldn't be enough within a year. After all, the further one progresses, the harder cultivation becomes.
Even with his extraordinary comprehension and the unity of heaven and man, it would still be tough.
But now, it would be more than enough.
"Thanks to you, the other disciples will also receive abundant Divine Attainment Realm resources. They might even break into the Life and Death Realm before the Wild Sea opens," the Grand Elder, who had been standing by, said.
The so-called 'other disciples' referred to people like Mo Xiaoyu.
Within the sect, only a few had the potential to reach the Life and Death Realm within a year.
There were ten Wild Tokens in total, and they couldn't be wasted due to a lack of candidates.
As for the few senior brothers and sisters present, they had already surpassed the standard.
Of course, the sect likely had other Life and Death Realm warriors training in secret, not just the ones on the surface.
They chatted for another half hour.
They discussed many details regarding the Wild Sea, as well as the general situation of the three other regions and the Demonic Sect prodigies.
Meng Changqing committed it all to memory.
Even though he had no opponents within the Life and Death Realm, it was still better to be cautious.
Besides, this wasn't some mere competition.
It was an ancient land — a treasure fight!
It would be dangerous and bloody.
Upon returning to his cultivation spot, Meng Changqing activated the formation and sat cross-legged.
Next, he needed to sort through the rewards he had just received.
Opening the interface, he saw a host of attributes waiting to be selected.
Not counting the brothers from the Shi family, there were three:
From the Headmaster, Mo Shukuang, and Hua Ciyan.
As for the Grand Elder, Luo Qingtai, and Shangguan Zhi, he hadn't yet added them as friends.
But there was no rush.
The three likely had high favorability toward him already.
Once he found the chance to add them as friends later, they would likely start at two stars, maybe even higher.
He remembered that his aunt was four stars right after being added.
"Let's first fuse Linxue's Fifth-Grade Pill Dao insights." Meng Changqing proceeded step by step.
Though he didn't have time for pill refining at the moment, it was always good to have more skills. They would surely come in handy eventually.
A vast amount of Pill Dao knowledge surged into his mind, quickly absorbed.
Compared to the previous third-grade level, this was much more extensive and also helped Meng Changqing learn more about spiritual herbs.
It turned out there were so many miraculous spiritual herbs in the world.
This would be incredibly helpful when he entered Wild Sea later.
At the very least, he would be able to recognize rare herbs at first glance, rather than being clueless and unaware of their value.
After a brief moment, the fusion was complete.
"Now, let's move on to the extra rewards." Meng Changqing looked at the lower section of the interface.
This time, the only extra reward came from the Sect Master, but it was just three attribute selection cards, not something more substantial.
Still, it was quite good.
He was almost out of attribute selection cards, with only one left.
Now, they had been replenished.
