Chapter 420 Leaving the Secret Realm
The human-faced dragon was taken aback upon hearing this. Following the silver flame's gaze, it saw only an empty void.
"What kind of spatial ability user?" she asked blankly.
Silver Flame seemed oblivious, still immersed in his own shock: "If I weren't here in person, I would almost think it was my true form who had come—"
He shook his head, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "This ancient battlefield—it actually connects several cultivation worlds, even attracting figures like those. This pool of water is deeper than I expected."
Although the silver light that tore through the void had dissipated, the lingering pressure remained like leaden clouds, shrouding my heart.
He no longer looked at the now-peaceful void, but instead gazed at the human-faced dragon beside him, whose expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. His voice was extremely low, and every word carried a firm resolve: "The matter of the arduous journey shall be put aside for now."
Yin Yan raised his hand and pointed to the spot where the silver light had disappeared. "The being behind that silver light is someone that neither you nor my clones can provoke."
"If I stay any longer, I fear I will be killed."
The muscles on the human-faced dragon's face twitched, and deep fear was reflected in its eyes.
Yin Yan continued, "The purpose of this trip has been largely achieved. The key points of the formations and the weaknesses of the main formation within the ancient battlefield have all been discovered. There's no need to put ourselves in such unknown dangers for the sake of a monk."
He paused briefly, then gave a clear plan: "With our abilities, within thirty to fifty years, I can find the weak point in the spatial barrier here and safely enter the Great Azure Realm. At that time—we'll make further plans."
"Things have changed here; we shouldn't stay any longer. Let's go!"
The human-faced dragon remained silent for a few breaths, then nodded slightly, acknowledging its agreement.
"Fine!" she said in a muffled voice, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. "Once I descend upon the Great Azure Realm, I'll go to the Vajra Temple and demand an explanation! Those who have tormented me will be punished severely, with interest, not a single penny less!"
After saying this, she took a deep look in the direction where the silver light disappeared, and her body transformed into a streak of black light, vanishing into the sky in an instant.
Yin Yan watched him leave, then turned and found Yin Jiao not far away. He didn't say much, but simply ordered them to continue exploring, as if he wanted to extract some value from this place before leaving.
From the shadows, Cang Nan's figure slowly emerged.
She gazed at the spot where the silver ripples finally dissipated, her eyes deep, as if she had seen a flaw in the silver light of that space, but there was also a look of doubt in her eyes. Who exactly was that monk?
The atmosphere at the entrance where the ancient battlefield meets the Great Qing Realm is solemn.
A flickering portal of light flashed on the spatial barrier, surrounded by layers of various restrictions.
Several top cultivators from the Great Azure Realm gathered here: Ji Yinglong, the patriarch of the Ji family; Xuan Yin Fairy of Qingyun Cave Heaven; Kongxing Divine Monk of Vajra Temple; and Hanshan True Monarch, among others. Behind them stood dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, all with solemn expressions.
The Great Qing Realm suffered heavy losses during this trip to the ancient battlefield.
Of the dozens of elites who entered, only a handful emerged alive. Aside from those already confirmed dead, only a few remain without news.
Among them, the most eye-catching are the leaders who entered this time: the legendary monk Kudu, a genius of the Vajra Temple, and Chen Yi, Hu Mingyue, and others from the lineage of the Xuan Yin Fairy of Qingyun Cave.
According to Ji Wuchen, Qiu Li and others who came out last, Ku Du was not only safe and sound, but also went deep into the Five-Colored Basin in the core of the ancient battlefield to look for opportunities. He even had a head-on confrontation with an external Nascent Soul avatar and gained the upper hand!
This news invigorated everyone present, who all hoped that Kudu would return with an amazing harvest and sweep away the slump.
At that moment, the gate of light suddenly trembled violently and emitted a brilliant light!
"It's coming out!"
"Could it be Master Kudu?"
As the light faded, a figure staggered out, and when he regained his footing, a surge of spiritual energy at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm rippled around him.
However, when people saw his face clearly, most of them looked surprised.
It was not Kudu who emerged, but rather an unknown disciple from Qingyun Cave.
Only a faint hint of joy flickered across the cold, jade-like face of Fairy Xuan Yin. Her other disciple, Ning Bu'er, had already come out first, and now Chen Yi had also returned safely. This lineage had not suffered any losses, making it an anomaly in this tragic journey to the ancient battlefield.
But while some rejoice, others grieve.
Ji Yinglong, the patriarch of the Ji family, instantly darkened his face, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.
He had previously learned about the inside story of the ancient battlefield through his family members: both Chen Yi and Ji Wuchen had disobeyed Kudu's orders, and Ji Wuchen had even fought Kudu head-on!
This matter has put the Ji family under immense pressure from the Vajra Temple and its allies.
Now, Chen Yi, who was regarded as Ji Wuchen's close friend, also came out unharmed, and his aura was even more refined than before he entered—clearly he had benefited!
But Kudu has yet to return!
Ji Yinglong could almost sense the murderous intent hidden beneath the calm gaze of the monk Kongxing in the direction of the Vajra Temple.
His gaze toward Ji Wuchen and Chen Yi revealed an undisguised coldness.
If it weren't for the crowds and distractions here, he would have already taken action to teach those two abandoned juniors a lesson, protect the family's interests, and then use this opportunity to get closer to Fairy Xuan Yin—that would have been the best course of action.
Just as all the divine senses were about to sweep over Chen Yi to probe his true nature, "Hmph!"
Xuan Yin Fairy let out a cold snort, and a chilling aura suddenly burst forth from her body!
Dark demonic flames appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a sky-covering curtain that instantly protected Chen Yi behind it.
The flame burned silently, yet it emitted a terrifyingly low temperature that could freeze divine senses, blocking all probing divine senses from entering.
It is his signature supernatural power, the Nine Yin Demon Flame!
After doing all this, she turned to look at Chen Yi, her voice still cold, but with a hint of barely perceptible concern: "You've worked hard, come and rest your breath first."
Chen Yi nodded slightly to his aunt, understanding their current predicament.
He immediately cooperated by feigning serious injury and weakness, his face pale and his breathing disordered, as if his magic power was exhausted and his injuries were severe.
In reality, pure energy was slowly circulating within his body, repairing his injuries.
While secretly regulating his meridians, he also took stock of what he had gained from this trip to the ancient battlefield.
This time, Chen Yi gained far more than he had expected from entering the ancient battlefield.
He found a relatively intact, dilapidated palace, set up several concealment formations, and then sat down cross-legged to examine himself.
The most important gain from this experience is still the Vajra Gong.
With a slight thought, Chen Yi felt his muscles and bones throb, his blood and qi surged like thunder, and an incomparably condensed force flowed through his limbs and bones.
He could clearly "inner vision" and knew that he had reached the late stage of marrow refinement. The meaning of the golden thunder crystal marrow in his marrow had already shown signs of turning purple. This was the sign of the great success of the fourth stage of body refinement, and it was also the necessary path to the fifth stage of body refinement, which was blood refinement.
The source of this power comes from his absorption and analysis of the fifth-order Vajra essence that dissipated when the Bitter Salvation clone collapsed, and it also benefits from the momentary enlightenment he gained when he witnessed the breakthrough of the Xuan Hui Vajra Indestructible Divine Power.
The combination of these two factors allowed him to truly glimpse the path to the fifth level of the Vajra Skill, the Nascent Soul stage.
Now, his body refinement cultivation has been stabilized at the late stage of the fourth rank.
-
More importantly, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power has already reached the threshold of the fifth rank, reaching the level of near the fifth rank.
All that's missing is a trigger, and I'll be able to truly step into that legendary realm.
