Chapter 1796: Frequently Appearing Mystic Territories
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“On 28th December, a mystic territory is estimated to open in the Eastern 23 Zone. Strength of the mystic territory: Major dao-level. Jurisdiction: Agency Zero, a grade-SSS organization in the Eastern 23 Zone…”
“On 13th January, a mystic territory is estimated to open in the Southern 61 Zone. Strength of the mystic territory: Suspected to be heavenly dao-level. Jurisdiction: Under the collective jurisdiction of six grade-SSS organizations in the Southern 61 Zone…”
“On 30th January, a mystic territory is estimated to open in the Northern 58 Zone. Strength of the mystic territory: Minor dao-level. Jurisdiction: None (The mystic territory will open in a barren land)…”
“On 14th February, a mystic territory is estimated to open in the Western 119 Zone. Strength of the mystic territory: Major dao-level…”
…
“The dates follow the Universe Calendar. Converting it to Dongxuan City’s local time, a mystic territory in the nearest Eastern 23 Zone will open in three days.”
“The appearances of mystic territories are too frequent…” Lin Huang was pretty shocked to see the list that Bloody had sorted through.
The entire list included almost all of the mystic territories, ruins and other types of secret zones that were opening within the next three years. There were a total of 113 of them.
Meanwhile, among the 113, 105 were regarding the opening of mystic territories.
Mystic territories occupied over 90% of the list.
Lin Huang could even clearly see the obvious trend of the accelerated openings of mystic territories.
At first, there would be one every half a month. However, in the second year, that interval shrunk to 11 to 12 days. In the third year, the interval was shortened even further to approximately a week.
There would be mystic territories appearing in the universe almost every week from then on.
Some had appeared before, while many others were newly formed foggy areas that had never been opened before.
Lin Huang could not help but frown slightly after browsing through the list.
He suddenly thought of what White Brow had said—that the mystic territories were just bubbles in Aza’s dreams. The higher the frequency of mystic territories appearing, the sooner Aza would be awakened.
At first, he thought that White Brow had just been trying to scare him.
However, after meeting Qian Shisan and learning of the existence of dominator-level, he believed even more that Aza really existed, especially since his own ability had surpassed heavenly dao-level.
He even suspected that this Aza was a powerhouse at dominator-level rank-4 at the very least. He might be even more powerful.
If Aza was an existence that had mastered thousands, or even tens of thousands of chaotic cosmoses, his dreams might be able to create dimensions like the mystic territories.
When Lin Huang thought about the fact that such an existence would be waking up soon, he felt the level of pressure on his shoulders increase.
He was the Black Abyss’ enemy, and that very same Black Abyss had such a big boss behind them.
Although Qian Shisan mentioned that an existence of Aza’s level would not concern himself with a minor organization like the Black Abyss, Lin Huang had a faint feeling that he would end up meeting Aza sooner or later.
After he got rid of the insecurities in his mind, he began to plan out his schedule quickly.
“28th December. The mystic territory in the Eastern 23 Zone will open three days from now. I don’t think I’ll make it in time if I submit my application to Agency Zero now. Seems like I’ll have to see if I can sneak in instead…”
“13th January. The mystic territory in the Southern 61 Zone is suspected to be at heavenly dao-level. I must enter this one! Judging by the aura fluctuations described in the document, even if it’s not a heavenly dao-level mystic territory, there is definitely a lot of good stuff inside. It’ll only open half a month later, so I still have time to apply. I’ll just do that first, regardless of whether or not the application will be approved. If I’m denied access, I’ll just sneak in…”
“30th January. The mystic territory in the Northern 58 Zone is only at minor dao-level. I can skip this one and stay in the mystic territory in the Southern 61 Zone for half a month longer.”
“I can go to the one in the Western 119 Zone that’ll open on 14th February after getting out of the one in the Southern 61 Zone. I’ll have one day to rest to buy some materials…”
Lin Huang marked down all of the secret lands that he wanted to enter. He basically only chose major dao-level and heavenly dao-level secret lands. He only picked out two minor dao-level secret lands. The reason being was that there were really no major dao-level and heavenly dao-level secret lands opening during that period of time.
He picked 46 out of the 113 secret lands on the list.
Among them were 41 major dao-level secret lands, three heavenly dao-level secret lands as well as a secret land that was suspected to be at heavenly dao-level. The remaining two were minor dao-level secret lands.
His schedule was almost packed full for the entire three years.
Although he might not be able to enter all of them, it was better to plan it all out in advance.
As soon as he finished planning his schedule, Lin Huang contacted Bloody again.
He got her to apply for the permits to enter the 42 secret lands he picked out.
Apart from the mystic territory in the Eastern 23 Zone, which would open in three days, as well as the few mystic territories that were in the zones that were not being administered, which would not require an application, Lin Huang got Bloody to submit the applications to the governing forces of the 42 secret lands.
Naturally, he applied using his Royal identity in the Eastern Eight Zone.
Lin Huang thought that he would disguise himself as a minor dao-level cultivator and enter as an official member of Royal if his permit was approved.
If he was denied a permit, he would sneak in. He would sneak into the secret land when it opened.
After all, it was quite impossible for him to be exposed if he hid himself in the presence of heavenly dao-level powerhouses given his current level of ability.
If there were half-step dominator-level powerhouses present who could sense his existence, he would ask permission to enter shamelessly. They would be unlikely to give him the cold shoulder and reject him.
There were no dominator-level powerhouses in the universe after all. The most powerful ones were probably the few half-step Dominators who had failed to elevate to dominator-level.
Lin Huang also believed that no half-step Dominators would simply offend other half-step dominator-level powerhouses for no reason.
“There’s nothing that can’t be solved with shamelessness.” Lin Huang smirked.
Two days after Bloody submitted the applications, they received the responses one after the other.
Among the 42 applications, 28 were directly approved, 12 were rejected, while two were still pending a response. They only responded that they had never received an application from the Eastern Eight Zone before and that they did not know much about Royal, so they needed some time to consider the application.
What pissed off Lin Huang a little bit was that the governing organization of the mystic territory that was suspected to be at heavenly dao-level in the Southern 61 Zone had denied his application.
The reason they gave was that it was the first time that the mystic territory was opening, and that it was of high grade. There were sufficient applicants from the Southern 61 Zone, so they rejected all of the applicants from other zones.
However, they mentioned that if it was opened again in the future, they welcomed the other zones to submit their applications.
Although they were polite with their response, Lin Huang was dissatisfied with it.
“Since you guys won’t let me in, I’ll sneak in!” Lin Huang pouted. “No matter what, I’m definitely entering this mystic territory!”
