Unlike ordinary Secret Realms or inheritance grounds, Elemental Source Lands naturally possessed strict entry requirements.

After all, every Elemental Source Land was filled with countless treasures formed from pure elemental essence accumulated over countless years.

Naturally, not everyone was qualified to enter such places.

The entry requirements varied from one Elemental Source Land to another.

Some restricted age, whereas some restricted cultivation.

Meanwhile, some Low-level Elemental Source Lands only allowed cultivators with specific talents or bloodlines to enter due to the small number of treasures and cultivation resources inside.

Only those who fulfilled the requirements could safely step inside the Elemental Source Land.

As for those who forcefully tried to enter without meeting the requirements, they would be instantly killed by the laws of the Elemental Source Land the moment they set foot inside.

Thankfully, whenever an Elemental Source Land appeared, it would always announce the entry requirements beforehand.

This was to prevent cultivators from dying unnecessarily.

[The first requirement is that only Summoners who have reached the Emperor Realm can enter this Elemental Source Land]

'Huh?'

As soon as Ajax heard the first requirement, he frowned.

Even though he already knew that Elemental Source Lands had entry requirements, they were usually limited to age and cultivation.

Moreover, the higher the grade of the Elemental Source Lands, the lower the restrictions would be, and almost everyone could enter them.

It was also the reason why everyone in the universe hurriedly rushed to this High-grade Elemental Source Land.

However, the Elemental Source Land before him actually set its first requirement, specifically limiting entry to Summoners.

'What about the re-cultivated Spirit Beasts and Demons?'

Among all the races, only humans could form contracts with Elemental Spirits and become Summoners.

Meaning, the re-cultivated Spirit Beasts and Demons were automatically disqualified from entering the Elemental Source Land.

'Hmm?'

Not only Ajax, but even the Quasi-Divine Realm Ancestors from the Dragon Region and Demon Region frowned slightly after hearing the first requirement.

Clearly, even they didn't expect such an unusual restriction from a High-grade Elemental Source Land.

"What?"

"Only Summoners can enter?"

"Damn it…why is the universe so unfair?"

"What do you mean the universe is unfair? The appearance of an Elemental Source Land has nothing to do with the universe."

.

.

.

At the same time, many re-cultivated Spirit Beasts and Demonic Cultivators started complaining with ugly expressions on their faces.

Some cursed their bad luck while others unwillingly accepted reality.

Nevertheless, none of them bothered leaving the area despite knowing they couldn't enter the Elemental Source Land.

'Other than the fights inside the Elemental Source Land, I should also prepare for fierce battles outside.'

Of course, Ajax quickly understood their intentions.

So what if they couldn't enter the Elemental Source Land?

That didn't mean they couldn't rob the Summoners coming out of it later.

After all, anyone capable of surviving inside the High-grade Elemental Source Land would definitely obtain many treasures.

Naturally, many ineligible cultivators planned to wait outside and loot those weaker than them or even form teams to take down those stronger than them.

As everyone was having their own thoughts, the ancient voice from the Elemental Source Land continued announcing the remaining requirements.

[The second requirement is that the participants must have at least one fully awakened Divine Rule]

[The third requirement is that the participants must be below one hundred years of age]

'Huh?'

'At least one fully awakened Divine Rule?'

'I am only at ninety-nine percent in my Divine Fire Rule…why is my luck always this bad?'

"I am more unlucky than you. I just completed my 100th birthday a week ago and now, I can't enter it."

The moment they heard the requirements, many powerful young Summoners instantly revealed ugly expressions.

After all, fully awakening a Divine Rule before one hundred years of age was already an extremely difficult achievement.

Even many geniuses from powerful factions failed to achieve it.

'Something doesn't feel right about these requirements.'

Ajax's frown deepened slightly.

At the same time, even the Quasi-Divine Realm Ancestors narrowed their eyes thoughtfully.

From their experience exploring multiple Elemental Source Lands in the past, they had never seen such strict requirements before.

Usually, Elemental Source Lands focused more on age and cultivation restrictions.

However, requiring participants to fully awaken at least one Divine Rule before entering was extremely abnormal.

After all, cultivators who fully awakened Divine Rules below one hundred years of age were all monstrous geniuses aiming for the Powerful Ascension.

And such geniuses only risked their lives recklessly when the rewards were truly extraordinary.

Thus, no normal Elemental Source Land would set such heavy requirements because very few cultivators would qualify.

'Wait a second…the rewards….they said there is a Sentient Flame inside it, right?'

Suddenly, Ajax realised something.

'Those geniuses would definitely enter, at least for the Sentient Flame. But, how are they sure about it?'

[The last requirement is that Quasi-Divine Realm Summoners are forbidden from entering the Elemental Source Land]

Compared to the earlier requirements, the last two requirements felt much more normal.

Age restrictions were extremely common in exploration grounds.

Meanwhile, forbidding Quasi-Divine Realm experts from entering was also understandable because their strength could easily destroy the balance inside the Elemental Source Land.

However, the truly terrifying requirement was still the fully awakened Divine Rule.

After all, even among those below one hundred years of age, how many could fully awaken a Divine Rule?

And among them, how many would willingly risk their lives exploring dangerous lands for the sake of the Powerful Ascension?

[Now, the Elemental Source Land is officially open]

[Those who meet the requirements may enter]

As soon as the ancient voice finished speaking, a gigantic portal slowly appeared at the center of the floating landmass.

'...'

However, Ajax didn't rush to the portal immediately.

Clearly, Ajax sensed something bad about this High-grade Elemental Source Land as though someone was intentionally luring all the geniuses into the Elemental Source Land.

'Or am I thinking too much after coming to this universe?'

Ajax gritted his teeth and complained,

'It is all because of Grandpa Boron's stories, making me doubt everything.'

'What should I do now?'
