Ancient Ancestral Emperor

After returning to the Nether Sect, Qin Shaojie also found out from Mu Feng the true reason why the Nether Sect was in such a hurry this time.    

The Tian Yuan Continent s were divided into nine different parts, because all the sects formed the so-called Nine Domains s based on the difference in the nine parts. And the Nether Sect was right there.    

The omphalos was vast and limitless, it had existed for an unknown amount of time, but inside the omphalos, there were countless empires and sects. Every day, there would be a change in dynasties, and at any moment, a sect would be destroyed. And within the omphalos, there was an unwritten rule that the sects who ranked at the bottom of the rankings three times in a row would be deprived of their sect's qualifications, and land in an ordinary academy or be demoted to an empire.    

This was a severe punishment!    

Once the supply of resources from the Hundred Great Empire was lost, the speed at which the sect was declining would drop down in a straight line. In fact, it would even be replaced and devoured by the newly emerged sects later on. This phenomenon was quite common in the entire omphalos.    

After all, the Nine Domains was not an unitary entity. If one were to experience the rapid decline of a certain region, or even be devoured by another region, the outcome would be dire. Therefore, the Nine Domains would undergo different adjustments according to their own circumstances, all for the sake of allowing the sect to remain lively and prosper. Only in this way would the Nine Domains be able to change in their own way.    

Qin Shaojie naturally knew of this method, but he never thought that it would actually become a true disaster for the Nether Sect.    

Although the Nether Sect had been around for a long time and had deep roots, they could do nothing about it. If it were not for some of the old roots that had been left behind, perhaps the current Nether Sect would have long ago been swallowed up by other sects.    

When the former glory of the Nether Sect was mentioned, even the current Mu Feng had a twinkle in his eyes. It was a pity that under the current situation, the entire Nether Sect would have long ago become incomparable to the past. If it were not for the aid of their past experiences, the speed of their descent would have been even faster. Furthermore, the experts of the older generation did not even dare to breathe, as they wanted to fight for the Nether Sect again at a critical moment. However, all the upper echelons of the Nether Sect knew clearly that this situation could not be maintained for long.    

The internal and external troubles had already plagued the Nether Sect for a thousand years, but unfortunately, in that long period of time, he had not found a true solution. And the day they were most worried about had finally appeared.    

The ones who are at the bottom of the rankings for omphalos s in front of us are my Nether Sect s, my White Night Sect s and my Qingyang Sect s, but among the three great sects, only my Nether Sect s are at the bottom of the rankings for three consecutive years.    

As he said till here, Mu Feng's tone also revealed deep worry.    

The Nether Sect was in charge of a hundred great dynasties, and there were ten empires among them. They were not weak, but compared to the other sects, they were like Senior Magi that had seen a Junior Magus. The entire omphalos had a total of twenty-four major sects, scattered in every corner of the omphalos. The empires under their jurisdiction had long since numbered in the tens of thousands, and there were even more than five hundred that could be called empire! From the looks of it, the Nether Sect was only staying in the dynasty to become stronger.    

It had to be known that the sects under the control of the Nether Sect were eight hundred strong. Although they were not the strongest in the omphalos, they were not weak either. Unfortunately, only the Hundred Empire was left. It was quite miserable.    

The omphalos would hold a so-called competition once in awhile. This competition was a competition between the sects. All disciples from the sects were qualified to participate. The competition was split into two parts, one part below Earth Origin Stage, and the other part above Earth Origin Stage. In principle, disciples with Life and death level were not qualified to participate, and at the same time, disciples with Life and death level that had been in the sect for more than seven years were not qualified to participate as well.    

Each sect would select a fixed number of disciples that were of high quality to participate in the assessment. The corresponding points would be different, and the result would be a uniform ranking. The higher one's ranking was, the more rewards one would receive. Of course, the lower one's ranking would not be punished, after all, this was to let the elite disciples of the omphalos s know that there were even stronger experts in this world. However, Qin Shaojie was clear that the disciples with the best performances would have the chance to participate in the challenges inside the Nine Domains. Of course, this was a later matter.    

The disciples with the worst performance within the various large sects within omphalos will not be punished, but if their rank is the last three times in a row, then this sect will enter the examination stage. If they do not pass the examination, then their sect's qualification will be revoked. After all, in the eyes of the omphalos, sects that did not improve were not qualified to become one of the twenty-four sects.    

Therefore, Nether Sect was actually already in a precarious situation. If he did not pass the examination, Nether Sect would become a part of the past, and might not even have the chance to turn the tables again in his entire life. After all, the first thing any newly emerged sect would do was to completely suppress the Nether Sect! Only in this way would they be able to better preserve their sovereignty.    

So, the final test refers to?    

Now, Qin Shaojie also understood why even though there was such a huge problem in the Japanese Empire, the Nether Sect still wasted a lot of time before finally sending people out. If he failed the examination and the Nether Sect did not exist, then everything else would have no meaning.    

In these few years, the Empire's respectful attitude towards the Nether Sect had gradually decreased, and even the yearly tribute was no longer the same as before. It was clear that this was because the Empire was seeing danger in the Nether Sect, and they even hoped to replace it. If he was not mistaken, this Japanese Empire was one of them, and was even preparing to make a move ahead of time. But unfortunately, it ended up being lost in Qin Shaojie's hands.    

But even so, the other empires were probably in no better shape. Furthermore, Nether Sect had turned a blind eye to all these situations. After all, they could not afford to care about themselves in such a situation.    

It seemed that the real reason was not because they looked down upon the Nether Sect, but because they hoped to become the last straw that could strangle this camel, Nether Sect. After all, without such high quality sources of vitality, it was almost impossible for the Nether Sect to make a comeback in the end.    

Because according to the omphalos's rules, whether it was the competition or the final exam, everything happened to the disciples, and the experts of the older generation were not allowed to participate.    

This examination was to fight against White Night Sect and Qingyang Sect.    

When he talked about White Night Sect and Qingyang Sect, Mu Feng's face also showed a bit of displeasure. These two great sects originally owed Nether Sect a favor, but now, they were adding insult to injury, wishing that they could trample over him right now.    

Qin Shaojie did not feel this was strange, although it was not easy to develop a sect quickly, but if he were to devour another sect, it would be able to greatly increase his strength. White Night Sect was next to Qingyang Sect. The moment a huge problem appeared in Nether Sect, the first ones to benefit were obviously White Night Sect and Qingyang Sect. Furthermore, according to what Mu Feng had said before, Nether Sect was ranked last after three years in a row, but it was normal for White Night Sect and Qingyang Sect to be ranked last after losing their Nether Sect. Therefore, they could only hope that Nether Sect would die, and use all kinds of methods to devour Nether Sect's resources, in exchange for their own strength.    

In front of the sect, true friendship was rare, and everyone had an absolute interest in each other.    

For the development of the sect, those so-called relationships were like paper and could be easily broken with a poke.    

You have a big chance and confidence in this assessment?    

After taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie asked the most important question. If the worst were to happen to Nether Sect, even Qin Shaojie would be put in a passive position. His current growth rate was not high enough, he still needed to borrow the power of the Nether Sect. If something were to happen to the Nether Sect at this time, he was afraid that his situation would not be good either.    

On the third floor.    

This number shocked Qin Shaojie. The three major sects were all at the back, which meant that the Qingyang Sect and White Night Sect were not any better off. As for the third floor, it was too low a number. However, what Qin Shaojie did not know was that level three was already the probability of Mu Feng encouraging him to take all of his luck into account.    

With the past situation, those who were pulled into the sects had a chance of winning by less than a level!    

This was because the final assessment was not a competition between the three great sects. Instead, each sect would set a team up according to the rules and enter the place set by the omphalos to participate in the mission.    

The three great sects were separated, but this time, the rewards were pretty good, and the top two were rewarded, so it was rare for the three parties to have a free-for-all battle, but most of the time, the other two sides tacitly attacked a third party, and this so called third party was someone who was extremely likely to be eliminated.    

In other words, the real situation wasn't a three-way free-for-all, but a one-on-one fight!    

Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for the examinees to win.    

In addition, the examinees also needed a series of conditions. These conditions were almost all aimed at the examinees, so it was much more difficult to advance further.    

After all, the one being evaluated had already been at the bottom of the three sect competitions, meaning that their strength did not conform to omphalos's rules. This kind of sect's omphalos s must be eliminated, unless an extremely special situation occurs. Therefore, these so-called rules were all aimed at the one being tested.    

This kind of thing was normal in the omphalos, it was also the reason why the other sects were eliminated.    

This rule had been in place for more than ten thousand years, so no one could change it.    

Although the three major sects had yet to carry out the final examination, almost everyone was clear about the final result. There were even some sects that were already preparing to devour the Nether Sect s. In the empire under the rule of the Nether Sect, some well-informed people started to secretly make preparations.    

Thus, not only the Japanese Empire, but all the other empires had to shoulder the burden of the Nether Sect. Some empires had even colluded with other sects in secret, just waiting for the moment when the Nether Sect was in trouble.    

Therefore, it could be said that the current Nether Sect was truly in danger.    

Had the assessment team of the Nether Sect made their choice yet?    

Under such a situation, even Qin Shaojie felt that it was a bit bitter, because this was a situation where death was inevitable. The older generation could not intervene, but the disciples were weak. The outside world had teamed up to try and eliminate Nether Sect, and it seemed that Nether Sect had lived quite a miserable life these past few years.    

Yes, tomorrow, the request from the sect's team will be sent to my Nether Sect. However, the main reason why they have called you back so urgently is because they will definitely let you join them no matter what.    

As expected, from the moment Mu Feng spoke, Sister Sha had already guessed that Mu Feng would not let go of such an opportunity.    

But you being like this is also fine, Qin Shaojie wants to see, what exactly is the difference between this so-called worst Nether Sect?!
