Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1690 (Raw 1702): Formally Opened

Only two days remained until the opening of the Fiendish Demon Battlefield.

Xiao Chen was currently asking Ling Yu about the situation inside the Fiendish Demon Battlefield. The two of them were looking forward to its opening.

Naturally, Ling Yu did not know much. “Martial Uncle, I have not been to this Fiendish Demon Battlefield. However, some of the senior brothers who went before left behind detailed information. This Fiendish Demon Battlefield is an independent world. It is vast and boundless. Even until now, the entire Fiendish Demon Battlefield has not been completely explored.

“There are a few places of great interest that we know of. First is the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion. This place contains all of the weapons the Divine Vein expert collected. There are Profound Tools, Treasure Tools, Dao Tools, and even eternal Divine Tools. We do not know how long that Divine Vein expert lived. There are plenty of weapons in the pavilion; even until now, it has not been emptied out yet.

“The weapons that the Divine Vein expert collected are all of peak quality, be it Profound Tools or Treasure Tools. As for Dao Tools, even the weakest Dao Tool would be worth cities outside, considered supreme treasures.”

Xiao Chen understood that. A Dao Tool contained a complete Dao. It took hundreds of years to nurture one.

The value of any Dao Tool was inestimable. Even a Rank 4 sect did not have many Dao Tools.

Obtaining a Dao Tool in the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion was indeed a great fortuitous encounter since a Dao Tool would provide a tremendous boost to one’s strength.

“However, in the past one thousand years, only two Dao Tools appeared. It is simply too difficult to obtain a Dao Tool. The restrictions left by that Divine Vein powerhouse follow the same pattern: the higher the value, the more horrifying the restriction.”

Ling Yu paused here before continuing, “Next is the Ten Thousand Flower Garden. There are all sorts of herbs and plants there. One-thousand-year-old or even ten-thousand-year-old herbs are everywhere. Then, there is the Ten Thousand Book Library. That place contains all the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques that the Divine Vein powerhouse collected in his life, even those of the Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian sects. These three lands of fortuitous encounters are where the true inheritors like to go. Competition is intensest there, and the fortuitous encounters there are the best as well.

“Aside from these, there are other lands of fortuitous encounters: the Buddha Seeking Platform, the Dao Comprehending Mountain, Black Flame Mountain, Frosty Ice Lake... The precious treasures there are all different, and it is difficult to explain all of them in one go.”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This Fiendish Demon Battlefield was much larger than he thought.

Indeed, it was already an independent world. That Divine Vein powerhouse’s methods were truly extraordinary.

“Oh, right. There are also some forbidden lands that Martial Uncle needs to pay note to. These forbidden lands should not be entered. Out of ten people who go in, eight or nine do not come out. How about this? I’ll go get a jade strip containing this information for Martial Uncle. I’m afraid that if we rely on my memory, I might forget some important information.”

For the sake of caution, Ling Yu felt that it was better to thicken his skin and ask for a jade strip for his martial uncle.

Ling Yu had always had an impatient character. Once he made up his mind, he immediately rushed off.

This somewhat stunned Xiao Chen, who had been about to ask about the Fiendish Demons in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, but Ling Yu already disappeared.

—

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, which the three blessed lands waited in anticipation for twenty years, finally opened again.

“Boom!”

At the sea region where the three blessed lands abutted, an earthshaking, boundless mighty force spread out. Without exception, all the sects in the blessed lands could see an island rising from the sea to hover in the sky.

That island was shrouded in a pitch-black fog. However, the multicolored light above it looked quite magnificent. The Spiritual Energy that spread out from it formed a stark contrast.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Immediately, countless figures soared into the air, quickly flying towards that island. Their expressions all looked extremely excited.

Thirty-odd people of the Purple Flame Sect qualified to enter the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, including six true inheritors, twenty core disciples, and the top ten elites of the inner sect.

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield was extremely dangerous. Although there were many fortuitous encounters, if one was not strong enough, one would just be sending oneself to death.

There was a total of forty-five sects in the entire Black Cave Mountain, which sent about six or seven hundred people. With all three blessed lands added together, more than two thousand disciples were heading for the Fiendish Demon Battlefield.

Xiao Chen’s group had gathered at the main peak long ago. With Hua Yunfeng taking the lead, the thirty-odd people flew to the island together.

The island in the sky appeared very close. However, when the group started its journey, it discovered that the island was actually a distance away. After leaving the Black Cave Mountain, the group continued flying for one hour before it reached the vicinity of the island.

Fortunately, these cultivators were all elites of the sect. Flying for a few hours under the influence of the starry sea was nothing.

Xiao Chen casually looked around and happened to glance at Yang Qing. When she noticed that he was among the core disciples, she found this strange.

Xiao Chen gave her a friendly smile in greeting. Then, he fixed his gaze on that island covered in a black fog.

The entrance to the Fiendish Demon Battlefield was there. While the Fiendish Demon Battlefield looked like an island on the outside, it was actually astonishingly huge.

The fog-shrouded island looked illusory at first, giving the impression that it was a mirage.

However, slowly, the black fog thinned. Views of the island started to appear.

The most eye-catching thing was naturally the entrance to the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, which was a set of mysterious ancient doors forged from some unknown material. The doors looked rusted and aged, with sculptures of Great Desolate Eon divine beasts flanking them.

Even though those were just sculptures, they looked very realistic and lively, exuding a stern might.

Everyone waited patiently. When the time came, those mysterious doors would automatically open.

“Why is that group of monks not here yet?” Ling Yu muttered softly. The ones that had arrived so far were the sects from the Black Cave Mountain and the Heavenly Shaking Mountain. The people of the two blessed lands hovered at different places.

Xiao Chen felt curious as well. He really wanted to see how strong the people of the orthodox Buddhist sects in this Great Thousand Realms were and what they were like.

“They are here!” Ling Yu said softly as he looked into the distance.

A group of bald monks wearing Buddhist monk robes appeared far away. A monk with bronze skin and a squarish face with a stern expression led the group flying quickly towards the island.

The monks stood on lotus platforms of golden light skimming through the air. They appeared exceptionally at ease.

Given this, all the elite outstanding talents of the three blessed lands had assembled.

“That monk is the Profound Light Temple’s Zhen Yuan. I heard that he is the strongest true inheritor of the three blessed lands, even stronger than Shangguan Lei and Wang Yueming. While that is the rumor, no one has ever seen them truly fight each other before.”

Ling Yu, who was beside Xiao Chen, whispered, “He cultivates the Wise Guardian Deity Scripture and has already condensed the Arhat Dharmic Body. His palm is as hard as metal, extremely tyrannical.”

Xiao Chen took note of this but did not show any change in expression. That Zhen Yuan did not smile or say anything, appearing stern.

Zhen Yuan’s aura did not leak out at all; hence, he looked like an ordinary novice Buddhist monk with nothing special about him.

However, Shangguan Lei and Wang Yueming immediately turned their attention to that monk at the same time.

Xiao Chen swept his gaze across and focused on Wang Yueming. This was the strongest true inheritor of the Heavenly Shaking Mountain. As he held the folding fan in his hand, he appeared very carefree and elegant.

That fan seems somewhat extraordinary, Xiao Chen thought.

It was about time to enter the Fiendish Demon Battlefield. Xiao Chen carefully observed all the true inheritors. Then, he memorized the appearances of those that he needed to keep an eye on.

Who is that?

Suddenly, Xiao Chen discovered a white-clad monk not far away from Zhen Yuan. He looked very clean and had delicate facial features. As he held Buddhist prayer beads, he gave off a casual and gentle feeling.

That person’s eyes met Xiao Chen’s. Then, he smiled faintly at Xiao Chen, confusing him.

Do I know him?

Xiao Chen’s heart filled with doubt. There did not seem to be such a person in his memories. He did not have much of a friendship with any monks.

Strange. After thinking that, Xiao Chen ignored his doubt. However, he kept an eye on this monk.

At the same time, Ling Yu introduced the stronger true inheritors of the various sects to Xiao Chen, giving particular attention to the top ten true inheritors of the three blessed lands.

“Creak...!”

The mysterious ancient doors opened automatically. An ancient aura flowed out, together with scary roars.

The Fiendish Demon Battlefield formally opened.
