“Door of Desolation?” Mu Qing was astonished when she heard the question . “Mr . Ye Mo, are you planning to enter the Door of Desolation?”

“Yes,” Ye Mo replied with a nod .

“Looks like you still lack understanding of a dominant organization like the Door of Desolation . You can’t join them,” Mu Qing said .

“Why?” Ye Mo asked doubtfully .

“Brother Ye Mo, have you seen the Zone of Desolation’s map?” Mu Bo asked .

“Nope . I do know that the Zone of Desolation is one of the five major regions of the continent, but I have yet to see its map,” Ye Mo said as he shook his head .

Mu Bo said, “You are probably a warrior from the Tianwu Kingdom, right? It is understandable that you have never seen the map . The Tianwu Kingdom is a low-level kingdom, and within the Zone of Desolation, it has no competitive strength at all . It is already an outstanding feat for them to maintain their existence . ”

“What? Low-level kingdom?”

“There are at least 100 kingdoms in the Zone of Desolation, and of course, there are differences between the kingdoms . For example, your Tianwu Kingdom is a low-level kingdom while our Luosha Kingdom is a high-level kingdom . ”

“How does one decide the level of a kingdom?” Ye Mo was completely confused . The knowledge that there were different levels between kingdoms was quite a surprise to him .

“That is all thanks to the Door of Desolation . Although the various kingdoms are rather powerful, to be frank, we are nothing but farms of the Door of Desolation . We are the farms where talents are grown for and ultimately sent to the Door of Desolation . ”

“As for our Luosha Kingdom, every year, we will select three geniuses to join the Door of Desolation . And after those geniuses finished their studies there, they would serve as the guardians of our kingdom . Each year, the Door of Desolation would grant a large bulk of cultivation resources to the royal family . And over time, the comprehensive strength of the warriors at the Luosha Kingdom increases as well . And thus, we come to be the high-level kingdom we are today . ”

“As for those low-level kingdoms, they will become weaker and weaker until eventually, they cease to exist, replaced by a new kingdom,” Mu Bo explained .

Ye Mo finally understood after the explanation . Although the kingdoms were large, they were akin to organizations . They would all supply the Door of Desolation with geniuses while the Door of Desolation would provide them protection . As for a kingdom like the Tianwu Kingdom where the warriors were suppressed by Li Tianqiong, despite the growth of his strength, the kingdom was unable to nurture geniuses capable of being sent to the Door of Desolation . And slowly but surely, the kingdom degraded to a low-level kingdom .

“So your kingdom will send three geniuses there each year? I can give that a try, right?”

Ye Mo focused on his current priority .

Mu Qing explained seriously, “Mr . Ye Mo, your strength is indeed the strongest of your generation I have ever seen . But it is still impossible for you to join the Door of Desolation . Perhaps you are a top genius at the Tianwu Kingdom . But here at the Luosha Kingdom, your talent is nothing special . Even if you are a top genius here as well, since you are not a local of Luosha Kingdom, you do not have the qualifications to fight for the Luosha Ghost Toen . ”

Those capable of representing the Luosha Kingdom at Door of Desolation’s entrance examination were the geniuses of the various factions of Luosha Kingdom . And of course, there was a difference between the genius of a high-level kingdom and a genius of a low-level kingdom .

“A local of Luosha Kingdom? I don’t look any different than your people . How will they be able to know where I’m from?” Ye Mo asked .

“Look here . ” Mu Qing blushed as she pulled her sleeve up and revealed her dainty arm . On the arm was an imprint of a Luosha Ghost .

“Although the Luosha Kingdom is inhabited by humans, our emperor is an expert of the Luosha Race . Therefore, citizens of the Luosha Kingdom are required to soak themselves in the Luosha Blood Pool upon adulthood, regardless of whether they are warriors or commoners . From the pool, they obtain the Luosha Mark . The mark allows us to use a sliver of Luosha Power and also serves as a proof of our identity,” said Mu Qing .

When Ye Mo heard that, he frowned . It seemed like it would be impossible for him to obtain the qualification to enter Door of Desolation through the Luosha Kingdom .

“But I have a suggestion for you,” Mu Qing said, her tone frosty yet filled with passion . Evidently, the strength Ye Mo displayed had caused her to have a good opinion of him .

“We came out this time to act against the Hong Clan . We of the Mu Clan are sworn enemies of the Hong Clan . Sooner or later, a war will break out between us . Therefore, we spent a large sum of money to purchase four Spirit Weapons . But I also know that even with the four Spirit Weapons, the Mu Clan might not be able to survive the coming disaster . If you can help us survive this crisis, we might have a way of helping you with what you want,” Mu Qing said, her face suddenly blushing .

A war between two clans would not stop until one party was destroyed . If Ye Mo could help Mu Clan overcome this crisis, he would become their main benefactor .

Seeing that Ye Mo was not saying anything, Mu Qing continued, “Mr Ye Mo, I am indeed trying to get you to help our clan . But if you can truly help us overcome this crisis, you will have the chance to soak in the Luosha Pool and obtain your own Luosha Mark . ”

“It’s not that simple, right?” Ye Mo asked . To enter the Luosha Pool, identification would be required . Ye Mo did not believe that anyone could soak in the pool . Furthermore, Ye Mo had already passed the day of his adulthood .

“Perhaps you fear that the Hong Clan is too powerful, that’s why you dare not help?” Mu Qing’s voice became frosty again, disappointment surfacing in her eyes .

“I don’t fear anything . But I don’t like wasting time either . If you can truly help me enter the Luosha Pool and obtain the Luosha Mark, so long as the enemy is not a Heaven’s Strength Realm expert, I will be able to handle him for your clan . ”

After half a day, they finally left the desert . After purchasing several carriages at the city, they set off again, heading towards Cloudsea City . The journey was uneventful apart from the few bandits they encountered . And among the bandits, there were even Heaven’s Gate Realm experts . This astonished Ye Mo greatly . A high-level kingdom was indeed different .

After one more day, they reached the Cloudsea City . And after opening the doors of the carriages, they entered the city . In the city, many people were wearing Luosha Ghost masks that were similar to what the Luosha Emissary would wear at Tianwu Kingdom’s Luosha Prison .

“We will reach our home soon . Our Mu Clan is over there,” Mi Qing stretched her head out the moment the carriage stopped . Immediately, her expression shifted .

“Damn it! Hong Clan has taken the opportunity to attack while we were away!” Mu Qing immediately got out the carriage . And with the four Spirit Weapons in hand, she traveled through several streets to reach Mu Clan’s mansion .

From far away, she could sense the intense killing intent . A huge number of people were aggressively gathering at the public square .

In front of Mu Clan’s mansion was a huge public square . This was a place where the guards would usually train . It was large enough for 1,000 people . But at present, numerous people had appeared at the other end of the public square . All of them were at Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, and the leading figures among them were at the True Energy Realm .

At a glance, there were about 1,000 of them . Some were wielding bows, some were wielding spears, and some were wielding broadswords . All of them were coldly looking at Mu Clan’s mansion, seemingly ready to attack at any moment .
