Chapter 1052 - The Ziya Territorial Waters (2/2)

Mo Wen stood on top of the clouds and swept a glance below him. He discovered that he was above an ocean. The deep blue ocean waters spread out as far as a person’s eyes could see.

Mo Wen’s deified soul flew out and blanketed an area of a three thousand mile radius. He could see everything in his surroundings.

“Hmm. This ocean seems to be just an ordinary ocean. However, due to the abundant Vital Qi, there are many powerful ancient beasts living within its waters. Some of these ancient beasts are rather frightening. They can even easily kill Primordial Soul Realm cultivators. Within a range of three thousand miles, there are two to three islands. There are a large number of life auras grouped together on them. They should be the members of the Sorcerer Clan.”

Mo Wen knew that the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was separated into two sections. One was the wastelands and another was the Sorcerer Domain.

The wastelands were dangerous and unpredictable. Everywhere was filled with danger and death. Even many high-ranking cultivators would not dare to casually enter them.

As for the Sorcerer Domain, it was comparatively safer. They were suitable for the Sorcerer Clan to train and live in. Long ago, some Magical Realm cultivators moved into the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield and lived and multiplied there.

However, the Sorcerer Domain was not necessarily safe. It was merely relatively safer. After all, it was still in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.

Mo Wen took out the cloth pouch that the old woman from the Sorcerer Clan gave him. Whether or not he could remain in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield still depended on whether he could complete the test of the Sorcerer Clan. If he could not complete the test, he would be forcefully sent back. In reality, when he passed through the space-time passageway, he discovered that there was a powerful Primordial Soul imprint on his body. The rank of the imprint was rather high. Mere contact with it would make him sense the power of the cosmos.

With his abilities, he could not erase the imprint at all. Even Supreme Profundity Realm or Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators would most likely be unable to erase it.

Hence, once he could not complete the test, a rather frightening being would immediately sense it and would then forcefully send Mo Wen out of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. There was no luck to speak of.

Inside the cloth pouch, there was a map made of sheepskin and a crystal ball.

The crystal ball stored information inside of it. When Mo Wen’s deified soul swept over the crystal ball, information immediately appeared in his mind. It was the task set for his test.

“Task: Yingyun City is in danger. The testee needs to aid Yingyun City in weathering their crisis.”

Bouts of information appeared in Mo Wen’s mind. He roughly knew the situation regarding Yingyun City.

Yingyun City?

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. He never imagined that the old woman from the Sorcerer Clan would actually give him such a task: avert a crisis and save Yingyun City. Mo Wen had never thought of himself as a messiah. He had come to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield to seek treasures!

Mo Wen pondered, “I am fine with the assessment and whatnot. But it should at least be a task that I can reap benefits from, such as exploring an ancient land or eradicating a bandit group that likes to rob others of their wealth. At the very least, the Sorcerer Clan could assign me to save a damsel in distress.” What good could come from saving Yingyun City? He couldn’t line his own pockets while completing this task!

Mo Wen wailed internally. This was an unlucky year for him since he had been assigned with such a task as soon as he entered the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. Moreover, based on the information that he collected from the crystal ball, this was not an easy task; in fact, it could be said to be arduous. It was definitely not something a beginning stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator could complete.

Mo Wen was just a small cultivator that had recently broken through to the beginning stage Tide Changing Realm. There was no need to have given him such an arduous task. Even those old fellows with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm would not necessarily be able to complete such a task.

In the end, Mo Wen could only shake his head and say, “How can one not bow to circumstances? This is the territory of the Sorcerer Clan. If I need to save them, so be it.”

He took out the sheepskin scroll. This item was placed together with the crystal ball. It was a map. However, it was not an ordinary map. Instead, it was a map manufactured using immortal techniques. There was a whole other universe within it. By projecting one’s deified soul into the map, one could understand the surrounding geographical landscape in detail.

The area labeled on the map was not large. It should be the territorial waters that he was now at. There was a blue dot of light on it that should be the location of Yingyun City. Another red dot was Mo Wen’s current position. According to the directions given by the map, he could easily find Yingyun City. It was very similar to a navigation system.

It turned out that these territorial waters were called the Ziya Ocean. It was one of the five major territorial waters in the Sorcerer Domain. Many members of the Sorcerer Clan lived in the Ziya Ocean. They gathered on their own accord, divided into various tribes, islands, cities, and sects.

The social structure of the Sorcerer Clan was very similar to humans. They obeyed the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. After all, the world’s resources were limited. It was impossible for everyone to have sufficient resources to train with. Those who had no talent and were not powerful enough would gradually be eliminated. Wars occurred every day in the Ziya Territorial Waters, between cities, tribes, and sects.

Mo Wen needed to save Yingyun City, which was a city that was on the losing side and that was about to be eradicated by a powerful adversary. He did not know how the old woman from the Sorcerer Clan was related to Yingyun City. She had actually asked him to rescue this city.

Following the map, Mo Wen flew over the ocean. Initially, he thought that Yingyun City was not far off from where he was. At least on the map, it seemed to be nearby.

However, he was wrong, ridiculously wrong. After flying for five days, the distance on the map had only shrunk by a tenth. That meant to say that he had only completed a tenth of the journey.

“How big are the Ziya Territorial Waters exactly?”

Mo Wen was shocked. The area labeled on the map was merely a small portion of the Ziya Territorial Waters. It actually took him five days of flying to cross a tenth of what appeared to be a short distance on this small portion of the map.

With his current speed, he was rather extraordinary among Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators, let alone among Tide Changing Realm cultivators.

He laughed bitterly. This Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was most likely many times larger than the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. The Ziya Territorial Waters were actually so huge.

Right now, he could only hurry along. It was because the information showed that Yingyun City would already be unable to survive for long. He did not want to fail his task when he was still on his way over to the location.

Two beams of azure blue light lit up behind Mo Wen’s back, transforming into a pair of wings. It was none other than the illusionary spirit divine wings.

With a flash of his silhouette, a beautiful blue light swept across the sky, forming a beautiful arc. His being disappeared into the horizon. His speed was twice as fast as before.

Just as Mo Wen was rushing over to Yingyun City, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky on the other side of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. The crack was extremely deep, seemingly connected to the depths of the turbulent space between realms.

From the crack, a flash of white light flew out. The white light was initially just a speck of light. However, in the blink of an eye, it grew larger and then emerged in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.

The world turned calm and the black crack disappeared. A silhouette appeared in mid-air.

It was a girl emanating an astonishing aura. Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful. She wore a bluish-white palace dress which brilliantly showed off her perfect figure.

Her body emanated an ethereal and awe-inspiring aura, which was astonishing. The aura caused others to involuntarily have a feeling of reverence that made them want to worship her.

“Mother said that he has also come to this place. I really miss you,” the girl mumbled softly.
