Chapter 1794  Offers for the Slots

Yuan looked at Elder Pan and asked, ”I happen to wield a Soul Weapon that contains a spirit. Will that count as a slot?”

”Only those who will be participating will take up a slot, so unless the spirit within your Soul Weapon wishes to participate, they wonʼt take up a slot. This is true for everyone else, too. Also, you wonʼt be able to use any treasures as a participant, including your Soul Weapons.”

”Can you elaborate? What is considered participation?”

Elder Pan proceeded to explain, ”According to the ʼrulesʼ of the Hidden Domain, those who will become ʼdisciplesʼ are considered a participant. We donʼt have much information about the details since nobody has entered the Hidden Domain yet, but we believe the main theme of this Hidden Domain is ʼroleplayʼ, and weʼll be roleplaying as disciples of the Immortal Monastery.”

Some Hidden Domains are structured around a specific theme, much like the trials Yuan had encountered within the Stairway to Heaven. These themes often dictate the nature of the challenges within the domain, such as tests of strength, wisdom, or even teamwork.

”I see… In that case…” Yuan mumbled.

ʼFeng Feng, do you wish to participate?ʼ he asked her.

ʼAlthough it sounds fun, I will remain a spectator this time,ʼ she said, not wanting to waste a precious slot.

ʼWhat about you, Yingzi?ʼ

ʼI will participate.ʼ

ʼYingying?ʼ

ʼI would also like to participate.ʼ

”Do you want to participate as well?” Yuan asked Xi Meili.

She looked at Elder Pan and asked, ”Is the Hidden Domain dangerous?” ”Iʼm sorry, but I genuinely do not know.” Elder Pan shook his head.

Some Hidden Domains are rife with peril, filled with deadly traps, fierce beasts, and trials that test oneʼs very limits. Others, however, are serene and peaceful, offering a haven for cultivation or exploration. Unfortunately, there is no way to truly discern the nature of a Hidden Domain until one steps inside.

While the Heavenly Beast Sect had managed to access the Hidden Domain, their exploration had only reached the entrance. The true nature and contents of the domain remained shrouded in mystery.

”Itʼs better to assume that the place will be dangerous,” said Yuan.

Xi Meili pondered for a moment before nodding, ”Alright, Iʼll participate.”

ʼWhat about you, Yu Ning?ʼ Yuan asked her next.

ʼIʼm okay being a spectator,ʼ she said.

Yuan retrieved Baneful Abyss and asked Ji Ran next, ʼSince you were once the Sect Leader of the Immortal Monastery, I assume you want to participate?ʼ

ʼIf you donʼt mind letting me participate, I would love to do so,ʼ he said.

ʼSure.ʼ

After counting, Yuan said, ”I will need five slots. As for my offer…”

He began pondering what he should offer the Heavenly Beast Sect for these slots.

”How about this?”

He retrieved a handful of leaves and even some liquid from the Golden Celestial Tree.

”These belong to a Golden Celestial Tree that is several million years old.”

Elder Panʼs eyes widened with excitement after seeing this.

ʼYoung Master, in order to secure our spot, how about giving him some of my Phoenix blood?ʼ Feng Yuxiang suddenly said.

ʼAre you sure?ʼ

ʼOf course. Now that my bloodline is no longer cursed, I essentially have an unlimited supply of Phoenix blood. Giving them a few drops wonʼt hurt me in the slightest,ʼ she said.

ʼAlright. Thank you.ʼ

Yuan then said, ”I will also offer a few drops of Phoenix blood from a royal bloodline.”

”Phoenix blood from a royal bloodline?!” Elder Pan stood up from shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. ”Are you serious?!”

”If you have a method to examine the blood, I wouldnʼt mind letting you examine it.” Yuan nodded.

Although Feng Yuxiang never claimed to possess a royal bloodline, it was almost certain that her lineage surpassed even the most exalted royal bloodlines. As a direct descendant of the Primordial Phoenix, she carried the purest and most ancient Phoenix bloodline.

”Although we do not have something like that, we have something that can evaluate a bloodlineʼs grade,” said Elder Pan.

”In that case, I would also like to offer some of my blood,” Xi Meili suddenly added. ”Iʼm actually a dragon with a royal bloodline, and Iʼm willing to add some of my blood to the offer.”

Xi Meili had hidden her horns and tail to appear less conspicuous, so Elder Pan did not know she was a dragon until it was mentioned.

”Y-youʼre a dragon?!” Elder Pan fell back down from shock.

To prove her identity, Xi Meili partially transformed, revealing her horns, tail, and scales.

”P-please wait a minute! I will contact our Sect Leader right now! He will be able to guarantee you those slots!”

”Take your time.” Yuan nodded with a smile.

Elder Pan left the guest house and rushed to the Sect Leaderʼs side to notify him of Yuanʼs offer.

”In addition to leaves and liquid from a Golden Celestial Tree that is several million years old, heʼs also offering the blood of a dragon and phoenix—ones with a royal bloodline?!” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect almost couldnʼt believe his ears after hearing such a generous offer.

”Are you sure you heard him properly?! I swear Iʼll skin you alive if it turns out to be a misunderstanding!”

”I swear on my life!” Elder Pan reassured.

”Bring me to him! I must speak with this individual myself!”

Elder Pan hurriedly returned to Yuanʼs guest house with the Sect Leader following behind.

”My name is Bao Shuya, and I am the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect. Itʼs a pleasure to meet you, esteemed guests. Regarding your offer, once we confirm the Phoenix blood and Dragon bloodʼs quality, we will immediately give you five slots for the Hidden Domain.”

”Sure thing.” Yuan nodded.

”Please follow me.”

Sect Leader Bao guided Yuan and his group to another building. Inside, the room was filled with intricate devices specifically designed to evaluate the grade and purity of beast bloodlines.

”Iʼll go first,” Xi Meili said.
