Chapter 553: Battle of Domain (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were a total of 16 domains in the Imperial Domain. These 16 domains were like 16 territories. Although each domain was different in size, these 16 domains were generally very large.
Nandou Domain, as one of the 16 domains, was located at the southernmost part of the Imperial Domain. The greatest characteristic of this area was that it was a vast sea. It was also the only sea area in the Imperial Domain. The Nandou Domain was an island in this sea.
Although it was an island, it could completely be regarded as a continent with the size of this island. The entire Nandou Domain was divided into the West Island and the East Island.
When the flying ship of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect arrived above the island in the Nandou Domain, Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen stood on the flying ship and looked down at the huge island below.
Both of their expressions were solemn.
Before they came, Xiang Zizhen had already told Xiao Shi in detail about the competition for the Nandou Domain. From this, Xiao Shi learned that typically, the refinement of a domain was divided into two important steps.
First was the refinement of the domain’s earth vein. Because the earth veins in every area were different, the method of refining would be different. He would only know how to refine the earth vein in this area after Xiang Zizhen arrived in the Nandou Domain.
However, since the Nandou Domain was an island, he believed that the refinement of the earth vein in the Nandou Domain was most likely related to this sea area. This was also one of Xiang Zizhen’s disadvantages. After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect did not have the ability to master the sea. The sea was not what the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was good at.
And Xiang Zizhen’s competitor this time was, coincidentally, better at the sea.
Secondly, another key point in the area refinement was luck! However, the luck here was a little different from the luck that Xiao Shi had previously known. The luck here did not refer to having good luck. It was a kind of support rate.
To put it simply, he needed to obtain the support of the martial artists in this area. From the Martial Demon Realm to the Martial Entry-Level. Only with the support of these martial artists could they condense their own luck.
If his luck was insufficient, it was very difficult to successfully refine the domain. In such a competing environment, the competition for luck was even more important.
Xiang Zizhen was also at a disadvantage in this regard. The other party had come to the Nandou Domain before him and had long won over most of the martial artists here. It could be said that most of the martial artists in the Nandou Domain were on the opponent’s side this time.
This would make Xiang Zizhen very passive. Especially to Xiang Zizhen’s surprise, after he came, he still had to control the East Island.
When the Imperial Prince decided to let Xiang Zizhen and the Martial Demon Realm expert of the martial pavilion participate in this domain competition, he let the two of them control the western and eastern islands respectively.
Xiang Zizhen originally thought that he would be in charge of the West Island after he arrived.
Unexpectedly, it was the East Island!
According to the information he had previously, his competitor started from the east island. Now, the other party was clearly deliberately giving up the east island.
The reason was simple. Now, the martial artists of the East Island were all supporters of the other party. These martial artists of the East Island would definitely resist the new arrival of Xiang Zizhen.
If Xiang Zizhen wanted these martial artists to support him again, it would definitely be more difficult than the West Island. It was like he had entered an enemy camp and wanted to turn the enemy camp into his own camp.
This was one aspect.
On the other hand, when his competitor developed on the east island, he had already completed most of the refinement of the earth vein on the east island. As such, if Xiang Zizhen wanted to refine the East Island, he had to cover the other party’s previous refinement.
This would multiply the difficulty of his refinement.
This made Xiang Zizhen’s expression turn solemn. It was not that he had not thought that the competition for the Nandou Domain this time round would definitely be very difficult. However, he did not expect his disadvantage to be so great.
As the prince who had decided everything behind the scenes, it was impossible for him not to know these situations. However, he chose to acquiesce. He did not give Xiang Zizhen any fairness.
This was also what made Xiang Zizhen feel the coldest. Even after making such great contributions, he was actually unwilling to give a Sage spot, especially since he was Chen Yuan’s disciple. If Xiao Shi really came to receive the credit himself, he really could not imagine how low the reward from the Great Wu Empire would be.
“…The prince looks fair on the surface, but in fact, his tacit approval can already be said to be decided internally.” Xiao Shi said in a low voice. He was also holding back a ball of fire in his heart.
Although he did not encounter any great danger in the sealed place of the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, that didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous inside. On the contrary, It was a demigod land with laws. Even the lord of Xingluo had not been able to take out the Eye of the Emperor Judgment after so many years. Ordinary people would definitely die if they entered.
It was his ability to take out the Eye of the Emperor Judgment. This did not mean that it was an easy task. However, after making such a huge contribution, he did not even give him a fair chance to compete. Instead, he decided it internally.
“The more you don’t give it to me, the more I want it! This is what I deserve!” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He had never been someone who would not retaliate after being bullied. Even if the other party was the prince of Great Wu..
