Chapter 1277: Chapter 488: Not Following the Rules_2

The three Elders breathed a sigh of relief. If a real dispute broke out, Owen Bertram would naturally be able to suppress it, but it would ultimately look bad on their reputation. From now on, the Holy Water Palace might bear the infamous titles of "bullies who wield their power unfairly" and "oppressing their peers."

Owen Bertram took the six people to the cabin behind and explained in detail some of the Ancient Annihilation Domain’s tactics to them. He urged them to coordinate with each other, practice some Array techniques, and finally lend them a few treasures temporarily.

Owen Bertram explicitly said "temporarily lend." These six people could only be considered his "tools" for now, and there wasn’t much rapport between them. Naturally, Owen Bertram wouldn’t casually give away valuable treasures.

But the six people understood that being chosen by Owen Bertram was the real opportunity. If they performed well and were recognized by Owen Bertram, following him afterward would be their chance to rise rapidly in status!

In comparison, the so-called True Dragon Water Palace’s gains could only put them ahead of their peers for a moment.

Owen Bertram was quite satisfied with the six people, as they were chosen from more than a thousand cultivators, and they were the cream of the crop. Their inherent quality was no less than Glenn Mitchell during the Dragon and Snake List period.

Finally, Owen Bertram said, "Although only six of you enter the Ancient Annihilation Domain, your final gains will be distributed equally by me."

"I will take 20% of the gains, each of you will get 10%, and the remaining 20% will be divided among the participating forces. Any objections?"

"No objections, everything is up to the arrangement of the adults."

Owen Bertram nodded: "Rest assured, I will not treat you any lesser. All the gains will be chosen by you first before it’s the others’ turn."

Afterward, Owen Bertram announced the distribution plan to the people outside who hadn’t participated in the selection. Those forces that hadn’t had anyone chosen initially thought their only gain this time would be the spiritual insight granted by Owen Bertram. They didn’t expect they would receive 20% of the benefits, so they happily accepted it.

However, this 20% benefit would be equally distributed among the eight forces, not divided solely between the three forces. Otherwise, the forces that had chosen participants might only receive 10% of the gains while the three non-participants would receive 20%. This would be unfair.

As for whether the six people’s gains would be handed over to their respective forces afterward, that would be up to their internal negotiations.

It would be most reasonable for Owen Bertram to take 30% of the gains. However, Owen Bertram deliberately set his share to be equal to the shares to be divided among the eight forces so that no one would gossip behind his back and ruin his reputation.

...

The names of the participants representing Sang Island had already been decided. The National Master understood the Sangdao Monks very well and had made a decision on who would be suitable. The Black Tortoise transformed back into a small turtle and swam in the lotus pond. The National Master fed it Spiritual Pills made specifically for it and asked, "Is it the Azure Dragon?"

The Black Tortoise ate the Spiritual Pills in the water, shook its head, and said, "No." Hesitating for a moment, it continued, "You need to be careful! That fellow is even higher in existence level than me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you much in this battle."

It dared to challenge Little Loach, out of the pride of being a Divine Beast, but it didn’t have the certainty of winning.

The National Master frowned slightly, "You don’t even know what it is?"

The Black Tortoise tried to recall, but what came with it was an intense headache. "I can’t remember, we lost most of our memories related to the Heavenly Realm after we fell. But even in the Heavenly Realm, there seems to be no existence higher in level than us."

The National Master was also puzzled, "Where exactly did the Azure Dragon go? I sent people to other continents to inquire, but there is no news about the Azure Dragon."

The Black Tortoise was very certain, "The Azure Dragon must be alive. I can feel it." It swam gently in the water, and suddenly a mysterious pattern on its tortoise shell lit up. The Black Tortoise leaped into the air, "It’s open!"

...

Somewhere in the Sea of Dead Souls, an endless stream of water surged and rose, seemingly alive, forming ancient and profound runes in the air by itself. On the other side of the void, a power resonated with the runes and opened a space tunnel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Huge waves rolled on the sea, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning fell, like a curtain of beads.

Suddenly, the curtain of lightning beads parted to both sides, and the entrance to the space tunnel opened right here!

A huge and luxurious ship sailed against the wind and waves. No matter how big the waves were, they couldn’t shake the ship. The National Master stood at the bow of the ship, with the Little Black Tortoise crouched on her shoulder. Although the Little Black Tortoise still looked like a turtle, there was a bright divine light in its eyes.

Behind the National Master, six Sang Island elite cultivators stood side by side, each of them a Tire-6 Power in the Fifth Realm. They were filled with excitement; it was their life-long dream to serve the National Master and fight for Sang Island!

The huge ship stopped ten miles outside the entrance and waited for a while before seeing a flying boat coming. Owen Bertram stood at the bow as well, bowed at her from afar, "National Master."

"Master Owen Bertram."

The two looked at the entrance to the Ancient Annihilation Domain together, where various treasure lights were already flickering, and even the shadows of some strange treasures were flashing by. The two didn’t engage in pleasantries, "Let’s begin then."

Both parties’ six people flew to the entrance together. The entrance could only accommodate two people side by side, so each side sent one person, and they entered the Ancient Annihilation Domain one after another.

...

Edgar was born in an impoverished family, but he was luckier than Glenn Mitchell in that the small city he was from was only 300 miles away from the Mountain Sect. The Mountain Sect had a tradition of opening its doors every thirty years. They would send envoys to select disciples with excellent aptitude from various places to join their ranks.
