Chapter 581 Battlefield of Immortal Humans (1/2)
It had been a casual question from Chen Feng. He had not expected Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling to answer him. Unexpectedly, this answer from Jian Qingwu completely blew his mind.
“Brother Chen, you should know as well that our Central Plains has many secret legacy sites, the grotto-mansions left behind by ancient Immortal Humans. After coming across this stroke of fortune, many nameless cultivators were able to transform themselves, from minor characters into peerless experts,” Jian Qingwu said.
“Yes, in our Eternal World, the places with the most legacies and fortuitous encounters are the Central Plains and the Southern Sea islands.” Chen Feng nodded.
“When this pocket dimension was first discovered, our sect determined that this is a ruined ancient legacy site. Or perhaps, it is a minor world cultivated out by an ancient Immortal Human. However, as the number of harvests grew, all of the higher-ups of our Heavenly Sword Faction became truly shocked. Many of our seniors who were in cultivation retreat, even those who would usually spend hundreds or thousands of years roaming about without keeping contact, returned. After studying it, they all came to a conclusion.” When she said that, Jian Qingwu subconsciously lowered her voice.
“What conclusion? That it’s a remnant battlefield of ancient Immortal Humans?” Chen Feng said smilingly.
When they heard that, both Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling’s eyes widened. They stared at Chen Feng in shock. Jian Qingling, in particular, had her finger stretched out, her fingertip nearly touching Chen Feng’s forehead.
“You knew?” Jian Qingling uttered in shock.
“How could I have known? However, after hearing what you two said earlier, even a fool would be able to guess,” Chen Feng said.
“You are right. The pocket dimension that our disciple inadvertently discovered is a battlefield. However, our sect has gone through many records only to fail to find out when it was left behind. Unfortunately, all that’s left inside are broken Immortal artefacts. If we could find a few Immortal artefacts that are intact, our Heavenly Sword Faction’s strength would rise by one whole level,” Jian Qingwu said, nodding.
“If your sect could obtain an undamaged Immortal artefact, the ones attacking your sect right now are probably not just three sects. Rather, it would be every sect in the Central Plains.” By now, Chen Feng had realized why Heavenly Sword Faction was attacked.
“After speculating that the pocket dimension is an ancient battlefield, our sect sent out even more disciples in. The entire sect was rocked. This is a great opportunity to increase the strength of our sect. However, not long after that, Heartless Heaven Sect managed to get wind of this matter. They came over aggressively, wanting to share control of this battlefield. Naturally, our sect refused. After that, Heartless Heaven Sect joined forces with Warlord Pavilion. Even though Heartless Heaven Sect could join forces with other sects, our Heavenly Sword Faction also has close allies. Thus, we ignored their threats. At any rate, there have been countless conflicts between our two sects throughout the years. Unexpectedly, even Divine Demon Grotto would join them. Objectively speaking, Divine Demon Grotto is a notch stronger than Heartless Heaven Sect,” Jian Qingwu said, sighing.
“If it’s just one or two sects, our Heavenly Sword Faction will not be afraid. At any rate, none of the sects involved would fight to the bitter end for the sake of an ancient battlefield. What we fear is the participation of the other sects. Although our sect is powerful, it is only a first-rate sect. Not even the Four Great Academies would be capable of stopping the siege of the various first-rate sects.” Jian Qingwu said, her face taking on a solemn expression.
“Right now, they are ceaselessly attacking the cities within our territory. Looks like they want to beat us into submission,” Jian Qingling said.
Chen Feng nodded. Possessing treasures can sometimes become a crime. If Heavenly Sword Faction had only found an ordinary legacy grotto-mansion, the other sects might not care. However, they had discovered an ancient battlefield left by Immortal Humans. Additionally, it would appear that this was a very large battlefield. Thus, the other sects would never stay idle. Nobody would be willing to see Heavenly Sword Faction grow stronger and stronger. That was especially true for Heartless Heaven Sect, a sect that held a grudge against Heavenly Sword Faction. It would definitely think of ways to stop this.
“Are there no dangers in the pocket dimension?” Chen Feng suddenly asked. Chen Feng did not believe that they could obtain treasures from it simply by sending their disciples in. The ancient battlefield of Immortal Humans was surely not an ordinary place.
“Naturally, there are dangers in there. Additionally, it is very dangerous inside. We sisters had entered before and nearly died in there. However, we also gained a lot back then. We got quite a number of good items.” After saying that, Jian Qingwu brought out a round pearl. The moment she brought out the pearl, the air around them became moist, filled with the power of water and lakes.
“Pearl of Water and Lakes!” Chen Feng exclaimed. The Pearl of Water and Lakes contained a high-grade power of water. Carrying it along while cultivating would provide protection for the soul to negate cultivation deviation. Additionally, this Pearl of Water and Lakes could absorb the power of water. In some ways, it was somewhat similar to his Blood Mustering Bead. However, the Blood Mustering Bead absorbed blood and killing energies.
“I had obtained this from a lake within the pocket dimension,” Jian Qingwu said, flicking the round pearl. A water ripple spread out and Chen Feng felt a cooling sensation wash over him. His pores opened and a pleasant sensation flowed through his entire body.
“This Pearl of Water and Lakes should have only formed after 10,000 years. A pity, there are formidable water monsters inside the lake, otherwise I would have gone to the bottom of the lake to see if there are any treasures there.” Jian Qingwu shook her head regretfully. Then, she kept the Pearl of Water and Lakes.
“The remnant battlefield of Immortal Humans. That’s a good place,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“You are an honorary elder of our sect. After returning to the sect, you can apply for the chance to enter the pocket dimension. However, our sect is currently under attack from the other sects. I think our fellow brothers and sisters that were sent into the pocket dimension will have to come out,” Jian Qingling said.
“I can enter the battlefield of Immortal Humans as well?” Chen Feng felt moved. At that moment, he was not thinking about himself. Rather, he was thinking about the Longevity Tower.
“Tower, how about it? Are you feeling tempted?” Chen Feng secretly asked Tower.
