According to Lin Changkong.
The four of them, ever since they broke into this âbattlefieldâ, had been following the direction in which Ye Xiaofan disappeared that day, wanting to find him.
However, this âbattlefieldâ was too vast, boundless, without borders, and finding someone here was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"So, we turned our attention to those Demonic Sect cultivators, those in the Demon Path were crazy about killing you, and we thought we might hear some news about you from them."
"Unexpectedly, just half a month ago, we indeed ran into something. A Demonic Sect cultivator sought help from a True Self Realm expert of the Demonic Sect a few hundred miles away, saying they had trapped an incredible being from the Divine Sword Sect and hoped those True Self Realm experts would step in to kill."
"Once we heard it, we knew it was you, so we followed all the way here, and what happened next, you saw."
After hearing this, including Ye Xiaofan, Wang Changsheng, Qi Yuan, and others were all shocked, instantly thinking of the True Self Realm power fluctuation at the horizon when Lin Changkong and others arrived, immediately feeling a cold chill down their backs.
They never expected a True Self Realm expert would appear here. If Lin Changkong and the others hadnât coincidentally heard the news and followed them all the way to kill those True Self Realm experts of the Demonic Sect, then everyone here would have already become cold corpses.
Time slowly passed.
In a flash, another month swiftly went by.
During this month, Ye Xiaofan and Wang Changsheng, after bidding farewell to those Profound Sea Realm senior brothers and sisters, under the lead of Lin Changkong and the others, hurried towards the region leading to a higher level âbattlefieldâ without stopping.
On the way, Ye Xiaofan also completely stabilized his cultivation of the âfirst stage of Spiritual Essence Realmâ, and not only that, he learned an unexpected piece of news from Lin Changkong.
"Brother Lin, youâre saying, Brother Qi Yuan is Senior Qi Yunâs...?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaofan looked at Qi Yuanâs back in astonishment, utterly surprised.
Until now, he didnât know that the brother named Qi Yuan was actually the direct nephew of the Talisman Saint Qi Yun, a peerless demon fiend with extremely terrifying talent in the Talisman Dao, deeply loved by Qi Yun.
After knowing this information, Ye Xiaofan felt both amused and helpless. This world is vast and boundless, yet seems surprisingly small. First, it was Mu QingâErâs sister from the Star Moon City region shielding him and falling to a strike, and now it is Qi Yunâs direct nephew.
Is this world truly so small?
Ye Xiaofan sighed with emotion.
As time went on.
Finally.
On this day, a month later.
"Ahead is the area leading to various âbattlefieldsâ. Dear junior brothers and sisters, having accompanied you for a thousand li, we must part eventually. From today, weâll each go our own way, see you at the âMain Battlefieldâ."
Watching from afar, the True Self Realm sword cultivator immediately accelerated and broke through the air, seemingly eager to enter the higher-level âbattlefieldâ to enhance his strength.
Ye Xiaofan also turned his gaze to see yet another vast âCelestial Curtainâ stretching between the heaven and earth at the end of the sky, similar to the one they first saw when entering the âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ, with no end in sight.
However, different from that Celestial Curtain, in front of this curtain were countless Dao Platforms densely arranged, all forming a line, similarly without visible ends, so numerous they were uncountable.
"These are teleportation platforms leading to various âbattlefieldsâ. To go to any âbattlefieldâ, you just need to stand on it, and the platforms will transport us to different places. The principle is somewhat akin to teleportation arrays set by array masters, but essentially different."
When the group of ten arrived before the Celestial Curtain, Lin Changkong explained.
These words were naturally for Ye Xiaofan alone, for those standing here were already strong in the Spiritual Essence and True Self Realms, all long familiar with this.
The Dao Platforms in front of the vast curtain were all colorful, exuding extremely ancient and weathered auras, arranged by unknown persons from unknown times, which moved Ye Xiaofan immensely.
He observed these Dao Platforms and the curtain above, reminiscent of the many restrictions inside the âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ, the idea that this place was created by a supreme existence to cultivate cultivators became more intense.
Mysteriously, Ye Xiaofan recalled the conversation with Nangong Jianchen before entering the âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ that day, suddenly getting a mistaken impression that all the worldâs exceptional warriors and beauties were the chess pieces of some supreme being. He gazed into the limitless sky, almost feeling like there were unimaginable eyes watching the entire âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ, watching their rise.
However, this strange misperception was merely a conjecture Ye Xiaofan mysteriously raised, not investigating deeply, for now wasnât the time for the weak him to delve into such mysteries.
In any case, this place gave Ye Xiaofan a felt sense of strangeness and unusualness, as if the appearance of the âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ was deliberately orchestrated by someone.
He wasnât the only one with this feeling, but everyone just didnât mention it. After a moment of reflection, Ye Xiaofan stopped pondering over it.
And at this time.
"Itâs strange, why are there no strong Demonic Sect guards here?" A Spiritual Essence Realm expert of the Divine Sword Sect spoke subconsciously.
Before nearing this area, several had even been mentally prepared for a fierce battle, yet upon arriving, they found no trace of any strong Demonic Sect cultivators.
The True Self Realm sword cultivator beside Lin Changkong, upon hearing this, unveiled the truth: "The cultivators of the Hundred Sects have already breached the Border City and entered the âbattlefieldâ. Stopping us now has lost its purpose; the moment Border Cityâs defense broke, our war with them was already elsewhere."
