577 The Gathering Participants

Today, the normally tranquil Imperial Domain was bustling as many young demons were walking toward a massive building while looking toward the Emperor Palace's direction with shining eyes filled with reverence.

They were all the selected participants for the upcoming Ancient Allied Gathering in three years.

These demons wore uniforms of four Demon Institutes but amides this crowd, walking at the end were 100 black robes demons wearing crimson masks.

Furthermore, unlike the four institutes' demons, they were completely silent, and their eyes were exempt from any emotions.

"Alright, enough sightseeing for today. We're here." The demon walking at the very front impassively stated.

Those youths quickly shut up, they didn't dare to voice out any opinion in front of these demons since he led them in the imperial domain, and more importantly, he was wearing the robes of the Imperial Demon Council!

Thereupon, they all entered a large hall, where a masked demon wearing Imperial Demon Council robes was waiting for them.

The demon leading them bowed respectfully toward this masked demon and stood behind him without speaking.

"Form four queues according to your institutes!" The masked demon coldly ordered.

The young demons quickly followed the command, and soon except for those 100 black robes masked demons, the queues were formed.

There were 50 students each from Evergreen Demon Institute, Battle Demon Institute, and Black Mountain Demon Institute.

Lastly, there were only 20 students from the Royal Demon Institute.

In total, there were 170 students from the four institutes, and they were all geniuses of the platinum river core realm!

Including those 100 masked demons, there were 270 selected participants.

The masked demon from the council coldly uttered, "I am Northern Council Minister, and I'll be in charge of you guys until the Ancient Allied Gathering is over.

"Without any ado, let me give you all a small briefing about the upcoming Ancient Allied Gathering. Most of you might already know, but it doesn't matter.

"First, this time, the Ancient Allied Races will send 250 participants each, unlike 50 from the past.

"Second, it will be absolute slaughter in the Fiery Hell Secret Realm, and only those strong could survive. So, I suggest taking it seriously.

"Third, this training is designed specially to make you all strong and sharpen your survival and killing instincts. These two years will be absolute hell for all of you, and if any one of you dies, someone else will replace you!

"We want results. We don't care about your background or your status as geniuses. We can replace you if you're not enough, and you could only leave here either as a corpse or as a soul realm cultivator!"

Northern Council Minister's cold words sent chills to those geniuses because they could tell he wasn't kidding around. Some of them already know what this gathering represents.

But they had no choice in this matter since they were all selected by their institutes, and the only way out was to break into the soul realm before the gathering started!

Northern Council Minister continued, "As I said, the only way to leave is to achieve Soul Realm, but you only have two years to achieve it because, after two years, you're not allowed to break through. Because after two years, we'll start the voyage toward the gathering spot, and it would be meaningless to break through at that time!"

The faces of those demons turned pale after this revelation.

"Now that I revealed the disadvantages, let me tell you about the advantages, which are hundreds of times more lavish than any demon had ever received in their entire lifetime in the history of the demon continent!" Northern Council Minister coolly stated.

Those demons' eyes finally shone as they looked at Northern Council Minister with anticipation.

Northern Council Minister revealed, "First, you'll be given a chance to cultivate in the Imperial Family's Body Tempering Technique, and all the resources will be provided by the imperial domain as long as your performance will satisfy us!

"Second, anyone who will enter the Fiery Hell Realm will be given the title of Demon Marquis at their return and lavish rewards.

"Third, as long as you bring out the Fire Spirit from the Fiery Hell Realm, you'll be given the status of Demon Duke and could live in Imperial Domain as well as you'll be given the status of Vice Council Minister of Imperial Demon Council!"

Those demons inhaled sharply when they heard about the rewards of this gathering, especially the last one, which was a complete life changer for these demons.

Just living in the Imperial Domain and the council membership was enough to make any demon outside the imperial domain green with envy.

Those gloomy faces suddenly vanished as their eyes burned with resolution. They knew they were all selected because they were dispensable, unlike those peerless geniuses.

So, they were all determined to grasp this chance and change their fate!

Northern Council Minister sensed those demons' burning passion, and his lips curled up under his mask, "Now you may rest in the Northern Imperial Palace Area and prepare mentally for these two years of training. We'll be leaving for the three forbidden countries in three days!"

"Follow me!" The demon behind Northern Council Minister led those motivated demons from four institutes away while those black robes demons remained in the hall.

Northern Council Minister looked at those masked demons after those demons left. A disdainful glint flashed past his eyes.

"Leland!"

A demon suddenly emerged out of thin air wearing the council robes before he impassively asked, "Your Order Minister."

Northern Council Minister coolly stated, "These hundred were selected from the eight provinces and given the chance of their lifetime. They will cultivate in Demonic Miasma Body in these two years, and I want half of them to have at least over 50% succession rate."

Leland's eyes widened when he heard this, "This? 50% succession rate in Demonic Miasma Body will turn them into walking…."

Before he finished, he shut his mouth because he suddenly thought of something, and realization dawned on him.

Northern Council Minister chuckled coldly, "It's the biggest chance of their life, and they will be doing their race a huge favor. Let them glorify the eight provinces' title as Cannon Folds!"
