Plunder, Slaughter, Battle

"The Prodigy Battlefield is different from what we knew before." Zhang Yang looked at Qingxu and Hu Dali and said with a serious expression, "Everyone, set up the defense. Let's observe the situation first and then decide on our next move."

The Demon Race is less affected by Devil Qi; you two will assist each other in guarding a location.

"Collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures from this sinkhole as soon as possible. Immediately give the spirit medicine to the Demon Race to restore their Spirit Blood, and immediately send the weapon-refining materials to Qingxu."

Zhang Yang glanced at the eerie tree, but instead of dealing with it immediately, he flew away from the sinkhole to investigate the surrounding area.

He cautiously set off in the direction of Thousand Mechanism Lake, which originally belonged to One-Guard Monastery, intending to see if there were any other changes in that body of water.

After walking a distance, he gently tapped his finger out, and then the space in front of him rippled like the surface of water.

This is a spatial Law Technique left by Kong Xu at the Azure Cloud Sect. It uses spatial fluctuations to investigate the surrounding situation. Only those who have also cultivated spatial Secret Method, or those who are extremely sensitive to the Laws of Heaven and Earth, can perceive the spatial fluctuations.

Each detection range is roughly four or five miles in radius, which is sufficient in a place like the Prodigy Battlefield.

Zhang Yang only continued walking forward after finding no one within a four or five-mile radius.

The sinkholes of Thousand Mechanism Lake and Langya Blessed Land are about 70 to 80 miles apart.

When Zhang Yang quietly crept to Thousand Mechanism Lake, he immediately sensed the presence of someone through spatial fluctuations.

Seeing that there were indeed people at Thousand Mechanism Lake, Zhang Yang quietly retreated.

On the way back to Langya Blessed Land, another shocking scene unfolded for Zhang Yang.

Suddenly, a stalagmite sprouted from the ground, just like a bamboo shoot, and grew to two or three feet long in a very short time.

Upon closer inspection of the stalagmite, Zhang Yang discovered that it actually contained Taiyi Geng Metal, a high-grade refining material.

This is a rare, high-grade material for refining weapons in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it's actually growing right in front of me?

While Zhang Yang was shocked, he condensed his Primordial Spirit power into the Flame Law and sent it to the root of the stalagmite. Using the power of fire to overcome metal, he burned the stalagmite and brought it back to Langya Blessed Land.

"Qingxu, Taiyi Geng Metal!" Zhang Yang handed the stalagmite to Qingxu.

Qingxu was shocked.

The Prodigy Battlefield of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was almost completely plundered by them last time, so how could they still have materials like Taiyi Geng Metal?

He hurriedly took the stalagmite and began to Smelting it.

With Taiyi Geng Metal, you can easily forge sharp weapons by adding just a little ordinary iron; the lowest grade is a seventh-grade Treasure Artifact.

"Forge a sword for Xu Qing first!" Zhang Yang ordered.

With Xu Qing's Quick Sword, possessing a sharp and precious sword would immediately boost his combat power.

"Yes, we should give it to Xu Qing first!" Qingxu immediately changed his mind, using the stalagmite as a base, and incorporating other ordinary iron and other refining materials that others had found, Smelting forge a precious sword.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, arrived in front of that eerie tree.

Using his Primordial Spirit power to sense the tree, he discovered that apart from containing powerful Ghost Dao Law, the tree posed no other danger.

He cut down the tree, pondered for a while, and then began to forge weapons.

Although his weapon crafting skills were not as strong as Qingxu's, he was still among the top few in the Azure Cloud Sect.

More importantly, he knew the Ghost Arts.

Zhang Yang refined this tree into a stick, and in addition to the inherent mysteries of the Ghost Wood, he secretly imprinted several Method Formula he learned from the Ghost Hall on it.

Now, he can use the Ghost Arts without any scruples.

If anyone were to ask him how he learned the Ghost Arts, it would undoubtedly be thanks to the Ghost Dao Law Treasure!

In the following days, everyone frequently saw rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures growing right before their eyes from within the Langya Blessed Land.

Every piece of material that grows out is extremely important.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yang became increasingly puzzled.

These rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures don't grow out of nowhere, especially since each one is extraordinary.

If they're so precious in the wild, what about in the Creation Spirit Hall?

Once, this place nurtured countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures; now, wouldn't it be nurturing something even more precious?

Zhang Yang instantly became excited.

Wouldn't it be better to rush straight to the Creation Spirit Hall now, creating a time difference with the others?

Because the current Prodigy Battlefield is different from the past, he was unsure whether this approach was correct.

He found several Devil Race and asked Pi Xiu, "Did your predecessors ever tell you how things work inside the Creation Spirit Pool?"

The Devil Race were dumbfounded. Hadn't their predecessors told them this?

Seeing how well-prepared Zhang Yang was, they assumed Zhang Yang knew...

When the Devil Race were in the Lower Realm, their elders must have told them some rules about the Creation Spirit Pool. However, the current Prodigy Battlefield is only a part of the Creation Spirit Pool, and they are not sure if the information they know is correct.

Pi Xiu replied, "Every time the Creation Spirit Pool opens, it is a contest for the foundation and Fortune of each race."

This is not just a struggle between us, but also a struggle between the ancestors of each race who lived in the outside world.

They plunder the resources of other races through battles, gathering them into heavenly materials and earthly treasures for our cultivation.

We, on the other hand, use these heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance our strength and simultaneously annihilate the prodigies of other races.

Each opening of the Creation Spirit Pool, simply put, is a clash between the four major races representing their 'past,' 'present,' and 'Future.'

Zhang Yang looked thoughtfully at the Ghost Wood in his hand and asked, "So, this is heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the Ghost Clan plundered from other races and condensed?"

"That's right!" Pi Xiu hurriedly replied, "When we first entered the Prodigy Battlefield, we were waiting for the elders from the outside world to plunder our resources for us."

Only after they succeed can we benefit, and then use that benefit to plunder and kill others.

Once we had collected nearly all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, we finally made our way to the Creation Spirit Hall to receive the inheritance.

Otherwise, even with a lineage, they would still be no match for those who possess Law Treasure.

These Law Treasure are made from the finest materials in the world, and can be refined into our Natal Artifact that will accompany us throughout our lives.

Therefore, the entire process is filled with fighting, looting, and battles; you must be careful at all times!

He paused for a moment, then said anxiously, "Young Master, we have thoroughly searched the surrounding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but we haven't found a single Devil Race Law Treasure belonging to the Devil Race Clan. We're in for some trouble this time. Please lead us, Young Master, and try to eliminate as many prodigies as possible from other races to enhance our Devil Race's Fortune."

"Don't worry, I definitely will," Zhang Yang replied seriously.

He had something else on his mind that he didn't say, "Including you Devil Race, I will wipe you all out!"

He finally understood the underlying logic of the Creation Spirit Pool: ultimately, the more powerful the elders outside the Prodigy Battlefield are, the more heavenly materials and earthly treasures will be nurtured within the Prodigy Battlefield.

If that's the case, then will heavenly materials and earthly treasures "grow" within this Langya Blessed Land?

Should we wait passively for the rabbit to run into our trap, or take the initiative...?

While Zhang Yang was still deep in thought, suddenly, as if heavenly materials and earthly treasures appeared in front of him one after another.

Every single heavenly materials and earthly treasures was shrouded in Devil Qi.

Clearly, the elders of the Devil Race plundered the resources of other races...

"Young Master!" Pi Xiu was stunned.

They were just saying that the Devil Race were in serious danger this time, and now so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures have appeared?

Just how much did their elders plunder?
