Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 531 - 517: Into the Earth Hall

Chapter 531: Chapter 517: Into the Earth Hall

"Alright, this is the portal to our Earth Hall. All of you, go ahead and enter," Wu Tong turned around and said to Xiao Ye and the other eight disciples.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

Leading the way, the nine new disciples, with Xiao Ye at the front, dashed into the portal.

Subsequently, among the ten Law Enforcement Elders, nine followed suit and flew in, leaving only Wu Tong behind to look for Fan Li, preparing to guide him into the Earth Hall.

After all, Fan Li was an outstanding disciple. Despite being defeated by Xiao Ye with one move, he still possessed the strength that passed the assessment, and, of course, Earth Hall would not give up on him.

"Is this the Earth Hall?"

Xiao Ye stepped out from the portal, and as he looked around, he was immediately astounded.

Although Earth Hall was another smaller space carved out within the expanse of the Taiyi Palace, it was no less vast.

The other eight disciples were equally shocked.

As soon as they entered this small space, they saw misty clouds drifting about, and an expansive land stretching out to the horizon, ending in a vast grassland.

At the center of the grassland were towering mountains reaching for the skies, rolling hills resembling giant dragons lying atop the earth, a truly majestic sight.

As the nine disciples shifted their gaze, they could see numerous buildings nestled among the mountains. There were luxurious and majestic palaces, exquisite pavilions, and towering pagodas, all glittering with a faint golden light, like a domain of celestial palaces.

Vaguely, one could see impressive figures bustling about these buildings, radiating the powerful fluctuations of the King Martial Realm.

This was indeed a miniature version of Taiyi Palace, yet it appeared incredibly spectacular, grand, and impressive!

Xiao Ye was overwhelmed by the sight before him!

As expected of the second-ranked among the Four Main Halls, Earth Hall was several times more magnificent than the Yellow Hall.

Merely an Earth Hall was like a colossal Sect in its own right, supremely distinguished, igniting a surge of passionate fervor within the nine disciples.

This was the Sub-Hall they aspired to be a part of, justifying all their prior effort and sweat, and now they were finally reaping the rewards.

"This is just Earth Hall; I can’t even imagine how splendid the Heavenly Hall must be," Xiao Ye murmured to himself.

Seeing the new disciples taken aback, the Law Enforcement Elders revealed a trace of a smile. Then a portly Elder walked over with a smile and said, "I am from Earth Hall, named Yun Tian."

"I am specifically in charge of miscellaneous affairs as a Law Enforcement Elder. Now follow me, as I will take you to collect your Identity Tokens, the Disciple Handbook, clothing, and then allocate your living quarters."

"Yes, Elder Yun!" Hearing this, the nine new disciples hurriedly nodded their heads and flew off under Yun Tian’s lead toward that magnificent array of buildings.

Like with other Sub-Halls, while flying in Earth Hall, they barely saw other disciples appear. The few that did show up only paid their respects to Elder Yun and did not even give Xiao Ye and the others a glance before hastily departing.

Every year, there are new disciples entering Earth Hall. Even those with strong aptitude can hardly compare to the resident disciples because any disciple who stands out in Earth Hall is invariably a senior disciple who has cultivated for seven or eight years and even up to a decade.

The King Martial Realm is different from other Realms. Each small increment in strength requires many years of hard work.

Thus, disciples like Xiao Ye were still green, naturally unable to draw much attention at this stage.

"It seems that the disciples of Earth Hall are more diligent than those of Yellow Hall," Xiao Ye realized, acknowledging that competition within a place like Earth Hall must be incomparably fierce.

After some trivial procedures, Xiao Ye and the other eight disciples received their Identity Tokens, robes, Disciple Handbooks, and other miscellaneous items.

"Elder Yun Tian, Xiao Ye is a disciple personally recruited by me. Let me take him to his residence; there’s no need to trouble you," Elder Tian Jiu arrived with a smile on his face.

"Alright! Xiao Ye has just ascended to the King Martial Realm and has yet to transform his Grotto Heaven into the King Realm. Elder Tian Jiu, please take him to the Spirit King Pool," Yun Tian said with a smile.

"Of course." Tian Jiu answered with a smile, then proceeded to take Xiao Ye toward the distance.

While on their way, Tian Jiu turned to Xiao Ye and said, "In Earth Hall, there are about 200,000 disciples, most of whom have the strength to traverse the Central State of the True Spirit Continent. Therefore, most disciples are often traveling abroad and only return to Earth Hall during certain periods. You can find this information in the Disciple Handbook as well."

While walking, Tian Jiu gave Xiao Ye a brief introduction to Earth Hall, which proved very beneficial for Xiao Ye, providing him with a clearer understanding of Earth Hall.

"So once you enter Earth Hall and your Cultivation reaches a certain level, you can apply to travel outside," Xiao Ye thought excitedly to himself.

He had long yearned for Central State in the True Spirit Continent, and during his travels, he might even encounter Bing Ya.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s excitement, Tian Jiu couldn’t help but pour cold water on him, "If you want to apply to travel outside, with your current strength, it’s not possible."

"Our Earth Hall cannot allow disciples with weak strength to go out and tarnish the reputation of the Holy Palace. So you need to put in more effort; only when your Cultivation reaches at least the King Martial Third Level can you attempt to travel abroad."

"I understand," Xiao Ye nodded, yet his heart was still ablaze with passion, as he had planted a seed of intent.

"It seems I must focus on my Cultivation," Xiao Ye thought firmly to himself.

Soon, Tian Jiu brought Xiao Ye to his residence, a detached courtyard located at the foot of a mountain, decorated much more lavishly than the Yellow Hall and also covered by an Array that could accelerate the disciples’ Refining of Primordial Stones.

However, Xiao Ye had no particular demands for his living quarters. Tian Jiu showed him around, gave a simple introduction, and then took Xiao Ye straight to the exit of Earth Hall.

Almost all disciples who entered Earth Hall possessed their own King Realm, except for Xiao Ye, who was an abnormality. So, the Spirit King Pool was located outside Earth Hall.

"I wonder if the waters of the Spirit King Pool are truly miraculous, and if they can help me transform all four of my Cave Heavens successfully," Xiao Ye worried internally.

His path of Cultivation was very unusual, as evidenced by his past failed attempt to use Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to avoid the King Tribulation.

"Hopefully it will work out!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists, quietly hoping for success.
