Immortal-Demon Battlefield!

"Imperial edict?"

Zhou Hao took the yellow jade talisman, and as soon as his consciousness entered it, a gentle and familiar voice rang in his mind.

"Zhou Hao, it's only been a few months since I last saw you, and your Second Primordial Spirit avatar already possesses the combat power of Void Return Divine Demon. Not bad, not bad. With your current strength, you probably won't get any effective training in a small place like Antan Commandery. When you're ready, come to the capital city with this jade talisman to see me, and I'll arrange some Immortal-Demon Battlefield for you. That's the training ground that the most outstanding geniuses in a great world should go to."

The jade talisman contained only a few short sentences from the Left King, which Zhou Hao listened to quickly.

"They were worried that I was too strong and wouldn't get enough training, so they specially sent this imperial edict and jade talisman." Zhou Hao felt a warmth in his heart.

He had only met the Left King of the Great Xia Emperor once, yet he was treated so well, which secretly moved him.

"East Stone, do you know what the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is?" Zhou Hao asked, looking at the respectfully standing Immortal Dongshi.

"The Immortal-Demon Battlefield?" Immortal Dongshi was taken aback, then looked at the jade talisman in Zhou Hao's hand. "The Left King's edict, could it be that he's arranging for you to go to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?"

"Hmm." Zhou Hao nodded. "The Left King was worried that I wouldn't get good training in Antan Commandery, so he told me to go to the capital as soon as I was ready and arranged for me to go to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield."

Is Left King worried that he won't get proper training?

The Immortal Dongshi was secretly alarmed.

Left King clearly treats the Changsheng as his closest junior.

It should be noted that even among the most outstanding descendants of the Great Xia Emperor, they might not receive special instructions from a celestial ancestor like the Left King.

"The Immortal of Changsheng should know that the Xia Clan Great World we inhabit is one of the Great Worlds belonging to the 'Mortal Realm' among the Three Realms," said the Immortal Dongshi.

Zhou Hao nodded.

"The Three Realms are vast beyond measure, especially the mortal realm, which is the most expansive and can be divided into three thousand great worlds and countless small worlds," said Immortal Dongshi. "Some of these worlds, large and small, are naturally formed, while others are directly created by powerful beings."

"In naturally formed worlds, all sorts of gods and demons born from heaven and earth will be created. In special worlds directly created by powerful beings, countless living beings will be moved into them."

"Our Xia Clan Great World is relatively better off, but some worlds without powerful dynasties naturally become coveted by the rulers of various great worlds, and even by the overlords of the Heavenly Realm who occupy a certain territory."

"Dispatching armies of cultivators and sending powerful immortals and demons to fight and plunder resources. Some special Immortal-Demon Battlefield, such as those directly opened up by a powerful being and left behind special treasures or inheritances, often attract dozens of forces to fight and vie for them."

"In that special Immortal-Demon Battlefield and demons, even beings like celestial immortals often perish."

"Back when I was still at the Myriad Phenomena Realm, I had no tribe to rely on, so I joined a secret army of the Yinglong Guard and was sent to a small world where I fought for hundreds of years."

"Through countless life-and-death battles and trials in that small world, I finally succeeded in entering the Nascent Soul stage. I also used my military merits to exchange for many magical treasures and secret techniques before choosing to retire and return home."

Immortal Dongshi sighed, "If it weren't for that period of hardship, I'm afraid I would have reached the limit of cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm."

Zhou Hao was speechless.

There are such places in the Three Realms!

The celestial armies of the rulers of various great worlds fight for territory and resources, and even celestial beings often perish; it's truly terrifying to think about.

Compared to this, the so-called dangers and trials of the Xia Clan Great World are nothing more than children playing house.

"Immortal of Changsheng." Immortal Dongshi looked at Zhou Hao, "Since Left King knows that your second avatar possesses the combat power of Void Return Divine Demon, he has naturally arranged for you to go to the most elite and dangerous battlefields, where Void Return Divine Demon and Celestial Immortals are often lurking and hiding. If you wish to go, you must be fully prepared."

"That's a war between great worlds. Legions composed of hundreds or even thousands of Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal are not uncommon. Even if an individual is weaker than you, a combined attack from a legion of thousands of Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal can still cause even a Celestial Immortal to perish instantly."

Zhou Hao nodded slightly.

You need to be prepared before you go.

The second clone has just achieved the Returning to Void Return in Qi Refining and has not yet reached the limit of Earth Immortal. The God-Devil Body Refining is temporarily stuck at the fifteenth level of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map, which is only equivalent to the early stage of the Void Return level of ordinary God-Devil Body Refining techniques.

Even with the innate strength of the Asura God, he could at most be comparable to the early stage of the Void Return Realm of a true ancient god or demon.

Furthermore, the second clone is still somewhat lacking in supernatural abilities; at least, it lacks supernatural abilities such as those for cultivating physical strength and those for developing visual perception.

"I used to think my strength was pretty good, that I could stand at the top of a prefecture and look down on countless immortals and demons," Zhou Hao thought to himself. "Now that I'm about to go and fight against the immortal legions, celestial Void Return Divine Demon from other great worlds, I realize I still have so many weaknesses..."

Who cares?

"I've only been cultivating for a few years!"

"If I were to cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years, they wouldn't be worthy of giving me enough trials."

"I just felt that things were too bland and there were no suitable opponents. This place, which accommodates the struggle and battles of various great worlds, is the stepping stone for my future rise in the Three Realms."

"I will climb to the pinnacle by stepping over the corpses of countless immortals, gods, and demons from all the great worlds!"

After recounting the battlefield of Immortal Dongshi, the Immortal Dongshi silently watched Zhou Hao.

From Zhou Hao's eyes, he could sense the shift from initial shock to the sharp edge that was now emanating from him.

That is an indomitable spirit, a spirit that is fearless no matter what dangers lie ahead, and a firm belief that it can overcome everything!

"If I had had that same drive back then, and had reached the Void Return Realm in the midst of battle, instead of choosing to retire out of fear, I wouldn't have failed to even survive the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation and only become Loose Immortal," Immortal Dongshi sighed inwardly.

What defines an unparalleled powerhouse?

First, you must have the heart of an unparalleled expert to ultimately reach the pinnacle.

It was only after he had cultivated for a long time and gained more experience that he finally understood.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

"East Stone, did headquarters award any merit points for the last time we wiped out the Blood God Sect? How many merit points do I have?" Zhou Hao asked.

Now that I've decided to go to the battlefield of gods and demons, and to climb to the peak by stepping over the corpses of countless immortals, gods, and demons from the great world, the most urgent task now is to make up for all the shortcomings of my second clone.

Especially important are life-saving measures.

Yinglong Guard has Dao Treasury Hall and a treasure vault. With the resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, whatever he wants can naturally be found there.

However, this requires having enough merit points.

"There is a reward." Immortal Dongshi flipped his hand and took out a golden piece of paper, handing it to Zhou Hao. "The Blood God Child and the Seven Dharma Kings killed by Changsheng are wanted by our Yinglong Guard. As for the Golden-Robed Loose Immortal, although his identity has not yet been ascertained, headquarters will also reward him with merit points. There are other merit requests as well, all of which are detailed in this list."

Zhou Hao took it and saw that it was written on it:

"Blood God Sect Leader, Blood God Child, kill reward: 18,000 merit points."

"The Seven Dharma Kings of the Blood God Sect have been defeated, and the reward is 15,000 merit points."

"Killing an unidentified individual comparable to a million-year-old Loose Immortal will be rewarded with 50,000 merit points."

"By stopping the Blood God Sect's forbidden magic array and saving countless lives, you will be bestowed with golden merit by Heavenly Dao and rewarded with 50,000 merit points."

"A total of 133,000 points." Zhou Hao nodded. "Not bad."

not bad?

The Immortal Dongshi remained silent.

Ordinary Yinglong Guard can only gain ten or twenty merit points for killing wanted criminals at the Myriad Phenomena Realm, while those at the Nascent Soul Realm can gain hundreds of merit points.

Even a wanted criminal at the Loose Immortal Earth Immortal level can receive over a thousand merit points as a reward.

Thirteen thousand merit points are equivalent to the merit points obtained by completing hundreds of missions and killing hundreds of Loose Immortal Earth Immortal.

Even for the top-tier Loose Immortal Earth Immortal within the Yinglong Guard, it would take at least several thousand years to accumulate such a large amount of merit points.

Is this just "good"?

Brush!

A figure in black robes appeared out of thin air; it was Zhou Hao's Asura God clone.

"Leave me another wanted list, then take my clone to the Red Dragon Mountain Range to exchange for cultivation techniques and treasures."

In the few days since the main body left, the clone has refined and recognized the immortal-grade magic treasure ' Weiyang Palace ' as its master.

Currently, it is impossible to break through the bottleneck of the fifteenth level of the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map> technique. It is of no use for the clone to continue cultivating on the Chaos Star Fragment Stone Platform in the Red Dust Immortal Mansion.

Send your clone to exchange for the necessary cultivation techniques and treasures, and then find a place to cultivate and improve, making up for any shortcomings in your strength.

Once everything is ready, I will head to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to hone my skills and earn more cultivation resources for myself.

As for the real person, he stayed in the Changsheng Estate in Antan City, occasionally accompanying Yu'er on missions and studying the <Taiji Fist Art> he created.

This two-pronged approach will definitely lead to faster improvement than having the main body and clones always together.

I'll post two updates today.

The Immortal-Demon Battlefield also appears in the original work, but it is not described in detail. It is simply described that many lords privately raised armies of cultivators fought and killed each other in other small worlds.

As many fans have said, the world of Desolate Era is also very vast; in fact, the Three Realms alone could be enough to write a novel of several million words.

After all, there are so many ancient myths, immortals, and demons, providing a wealth of material.

I need to get the next few settings right.

To be honest, the storyline of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was only conceived in the last few days and was not part of my original outline plan.

So right now I have nothing to add, and I need to add content, characters, and storylines.

Over the next few days, updates won't be frequent at the beginning. I hope this post will be well-written and live up to the support of my readers.
