Hallowed Grounds

The **Hallowed Grounds** could be said to be part of Profound Continent but wasn’t within it as well. Because the world that the Hallowed Grounds resided in was an independent pocket of space that numerous Saint Realm experts had jointly created all those years ago. So, the reason why the Hallowed Grounds was said to be part of Profound Continent was because that pocket of space was still on Profound Continent in the end.

The Hallowed Grounds was a paradise of cultivation. The spirit energy here was over 10 times more abundant than it was in Profound Continent. Because the experts of the continent had moved all the best spirit veins of the continent to the Hallowed Grounds so that even more experts would head over and help suppress the defiant profounders. At the same time, they’d also moved over a huge amount of the best inheritances to the Hallowed Grounds.

It had the most complete inheritances in talisman crafting, alchemy, equipment refinement, formations, and all sorts of other mysterious inheritances that Profound Continent had no records of….

It could be said that the grand history of Profound Continent could only be truly discovered at the Hallowed Grounds.

There was an enormous pagoda deep that had almost 10,000 levels standing beneath the ground in the Hallowed Grounds. It was deep within the core of ground in the Hallowed Ground, and it was covered in countless pitch black iron chains that were over 300m thick. Moreover, the iron chains were densely covered in all sorts of mysterious symbols and talismans.

There was a sword stabbed within the top of the pagoda.

The sword was over a meter long, 3 fingers wide, and completely crimson red as if it was covered in lava. Floating in the air above the sword was a ‘镇’ symbol, but countless fine cracks had spread throughout it like spiderwebs. It seemed like this symbol which represented the intent to restrain would shatter into pieces at any moment.

* There are four cultivation havens in the Sacred Halls. They are the Forest of Illusions and Demons, the Underworld Ocean, the Lightning Cloud Lake, and the Confinement Pagoda.
* Confinement Pagoda is considered the best among cultivation havens because it is filled with abundant amounts of fire element energy. The amount of energy there is equivalent to that of Fire Crystals, and it is even those that are 500 years old or more. Of course, it is the most dangerous among the cultivation havens. Because challenging depthers can appear at any time. Furthermore, if the challenging profounders that emerge aren't strong, then the Half-Saints of the Holy Halls wouldn't be of any help. The geniuses of the Holy Halls would have to deal with them on their own.”
