Luina got on the teleport formation and noticed that the twins weren’t moving. “Are you not coming? We need to go to our country, you know?”
Rean shook his head, telling her, “We need to go back and ask Hilanshi something else. Let’s go.” Before Luina could ask anything, the twins had already moved out of the teleportation room.
“Err…” The worker of the Formations Guild looked at Luina after that. “Are you guys still going to use the teleportation?”
Luina sighed and shook her head, replying, “We will. Just wait a moment. We forgot something, and we’ll be right back.” Without any other choice, she could only follow the twins.
*Bang, bang, bang, crash, boom!*
As the twins’ group approached the castle where the Jamai Sect disciples were gathered, they started to hear sounds of battle. Well, it wasn’t like they didn’t expect that. Since everyone wanted the countries closest to the borders, they could only decide through a strength contest. The top disciples there definitely wouldn’t accept another way to do that.
Luina, Rean, and Roan entered the door, catching the eyes of quite a few disciples. Some even thought they might have changed their minds and came back to ask for another country.
However, Rean and Roan had no intention of doing that. Instead, they approached Hilanshi, who was simply enjoying the show done by the Jamai Sect disciples. “Hmm? What is it? Didn’t you go to your country already?”
Roan and Luina waited as Rean asked the question. Of course, Rean used his Divine Sense to do it. ‘Sir, your Rambram Sect definitely knew that most of the disciples had their own Pocket Dimensional Realms. How come you didn’t check if they brought more subordinates than the amount specified before the competition started?’
Hilanshi wasn’t surprised by that question. ‘And here I thought no one would waste my time with such a question. Anyway, my job is to answer inquiries, so here’s the answer. Because there was no need.’
‘No need?’ Rean was confused by that. ‘What do you mean?’
‘We are well aware of the Pocket Dimensional Realms most of the disciples have. However, why do you think we have a Cultivation Suppressing Formation? The only ones who can show the strength of Transition Realm and above are the disciples and their subordinates,’ Hilanshi explained.
‘Even if they brought more participants with them in the Dimensional Realms, they would all fall to the Nascent Soul Realm once they’re brought out. With that said, what’s the difference between them and the beings that are already here? Besides, their Dimensional Realms are just so big, so how many extra people could they bring anyway? In the end, it’s just as I said. Because there was no need.’
Rean was obviously ecstatic to hear that. ‘My brother and I just so happen to have a few subordinates ourselves in our Pocket Dimensional Realms. We had no intention of bringing them out during this competition since we thought it was against the rules.’
Hilanshi snorted in response. ‘Where in the rules say that one can’t bring out extra help from their Pocket Dimensional Realms? All the rules say is that only one Space Bending and two Transition Realm badges would be given. It was all of you who interpreted it as the Rambram Sect not allowing more than one Space Bending Realm and two Transition Realm members.’
Rean was taken aback. He heard from Yuivo that the rules allowed only one disciple at the Space Bending Realm and two Subordinates at the Transition Realm. However, it was a complete misinterpretation of the regulations. It was all about the power behind the badges.
‘Doesn’t that mean that those who understood it have definitely brought a few more trustworthy subordinates with them?’ Rean asked. ‘It’s just that those subordinates will only be in the Nascent Soul Realm.’ ꜰʀᴇᴇ ᴡᴇʙ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. ᴄᴏᴍ
Hilanshi nodded, replying, ‘You can be sure that a lot of them did. In fact, I’m pretty sure some of your Jamai Sect’s participants did as well.’
He continued, ‘Well, the Pocket Dimensions are linked to the participants’ dantians and cores. Those they allow to enter the Pocket Dimensional Realms must not be less than one realm below them. Otherwise, their Dimensional Realms won’t resist their presence and will crumble down. No, that’s not completely right. Depending on the level of the Dimensional Realm, they might even have one or two guys at the same level as themselves, but that would already be pushing it. Not that some of them haven’t done it, though. Hahaha! I’m sure a few idiots definitely tried it before coming here and paid the price.’
‘Anyway, that means everyone who did bring extra help in their Pocket Dimensional Realms is at least an entire realm below if they brought anyone at all. With the exception of those that I mentioned just now, of course. As I said, due to the size of the Dimensional Realm, the numbers they brought are definitely low, not worth mentioning at all.’
Hilanshi then smiled once again. ‘You guys need to pay more attention to the rules next time. Remember, if it’s not in the rules, it’s not against it. This is also a brain test. Keep that in mind.’
Rean then scratched the back of his head before asking one last question. ‘Errr… what if some of us happen to have a very big Dimensional Realm with a few thousand subordinates? Would that be bad?’ Rean found it quite risky to ask that. Nevertheless, he thought it was worth a shot since he didn’t say it was he who did that.
‘A few thousand?’ Hilanshi was finally struck by surprise. ‘Just how many people did you pack into something like that? That’s quite a big Dimensional Realm.’
Hilanshi still didn’t change his words. ‘There are no rules against it either. In the end, even if you or anyone else brought a few thousand people with you, they will all have their cultivations plummet to the Nascent Soul Realm. Compared to the number of beings you will rule in your country, a few thousand is just a drop in the ocean.’
Rean sighed in relief after hearing that. ‘Is that so? Then that’s perfect! Thank you, Senior Hilanshi.’
