Chapter 1044 - The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield (2/2)
“Where is she now?” Mo Wen asked, his eyebrows furrowed. If she was not in the Ancient Sorcery Space, where could she go? Did she go to the Magical Realm?
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.” Mo Qingtian’s face turned serious all of a sudden, her tone changing when she spoke of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
“What kind of a place is the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield? Is it a hostile place?” Mo Wen was shocked. He had never seen Mo Qingtian look as somber as she did now.
“It’s not just hostile—it’s very hostile. The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is an immemorial ruin, and it contains many secrets unknown to anybody even to this day. Rumor has it that even a Heavenly Path Sage can die in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield if they’re not careful,” Mo Qingtian remarked mildly.
“Is it that terrifying? Did they send Yun Xiaoman there?!” Mo Wen’s eyelids twitched. Just how terrifying was the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield that even a Heavenly Path Sage could die there?
“The current Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is no longer the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield of ancient times. After the Immortal End Day, the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield had been torn apart and 90% of it had disappeared in the time-space turbulence. The remaining 10% had also been torn apart and scattered in the crevices of all the dimensions in the heavens and worlds. Some of the fragments of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield are dangerous places, and anyone who steps into it would surely die. But some fragments are treasure grounds and relatively safe.
“The Magical Realm controls a total of three pieces of Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, and the smallest of which is also the safest Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, which makes it extremely suitable for nurturing Moon Maiden candidates. The preliminary stage for the Moon Maiden candidates is also held on that piece of Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.”
Legend had it that the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield had been a battlefield for the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan and the Immemorial Demon Clan, so it contained all sorts of mysterious and extraordinary forces and powers.
“So, how do we enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield and save Yun Xiaoman?” Mo Wen asked.
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is an area controlled by the Sorcerer God, so there’s absolutely no way you can enter without the Sorcerer God’s approval. You can forget about entering the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield within the next 10 years, at the very least,” Mo Qingtian remarked mildly.
“So, I have a shot at entering the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield after 10 years.” Mo Wen grasped the gist of Mo Qingtian’s words in a split second.
“That’s right. The Sorcerer Clan will host a grand gathering 10 years later, and it’s not just you who will be able to enter. All of the cultivators in the heavens and worlds who are below the Supreme Profundity Realm will be able to enter. And during that time, the Sorcerer Clan will hold a second Moon Maidens Selection preliminary round, so you have a good chance of meeting Yun Xiaoman.” Mo Qingtian nodded.
“Oh, what’s this grand gathering you mentioned? Tell me more.” Mo Wen was growing interested.
Originally, the Sorcerer Clan would host a Moon Maidens Selection Conference every millennium. The Moon Maiden candidates would go through several rounds of selection before a few of them who had the best innate talents were finally picked to become Moon Maidens. The final preliminary land for the selection was in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. During the occasion, after passing some tests, the cultivators below the Tide Changing Realm would be able to enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. These guests would serve as an additional factor for the Moon Maidens Selection. This would increase the level of difficulty and eliminate some of the candidates who did not have as much inherent skill and power.
One could say that the Moon Maidens Selection was the only chance in a thousand years for people outside of the clan to enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, and it was only limited to the people who were below the Supreme Profundity Realm.
Although the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was a place known for being frightening, it was also a treasure ground. Stepping into the place might cost you your life but it could also be a stepping stone to becoming a Moon Maiden candidate. However, there was an innumerable amount of people who wanted to enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield every thousand years.
This was because the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was as full of opportunities as it was full of danger. The luckier ones could shoot immediately to success, and even those with average luck could see their cultivation rise rapidly with the power of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. Of course, the unlucky ones were liable to die there.
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is an opportunity for you. The opportunities in that place are in no way secondary to the Path of Creation. Although it’s not like the Path of Creation where you reap benefits as long as you step in, the benefits if you do run into any opportunities are not subpar. Besides, a lot of the Tide Changing Realm cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm would be stepping into the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield once the time comes. They will be roadblocks to the Moon Maiden candidates, so you might be of much help to Yun Xiaoman if you can blend in with them.”
Mo Qingtian had rather hoped Mo Wen could enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. She, too, wanted to know what would come out of this young man entering the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. When the time came, all of the Tide Changing Realm cultivators from all over the universe would be gathered there. Although they might only be at the Tide Changing Realm, some of them were still rather powerful, and encountering them would result in decent training for Mo Wen.
Besides, this was his only chance to save Yun Xiaoman.
