Where is this battlefield located?
The Primordial World is vast, and Li Xingkong has only been to a very limited number of places. This battlefield must be somewhere in the Primordial World.
"This battlefield is everywhere, it's omnipresent."
Yuanjun smiled.
"The entire Primordial World is an Eternal Battlefield."
This left Li Xingkong somewhat bewildered. If the entire Primordial World was a battlefield, how come he hadn't witnessed a single battle yet?
"What, wondering why I've never seen you before?"
"Yes."
"Hahaha, it's actually very simple, because the time is different. The Eternal Battlefield takes place within a specific period of time in the Primordial World history. Whether it's the ancient gods and demons or the future immortals and Buddhas, all the conflicts between cultivators will transcend the river of time and concentrate within that specific period."
"This era, unique to war and chaos, is called the Era of Chaos. Within the Era of Chaos, any ordinary living being will be directly migrated along the River of Time. Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above are qualified to set foot in the Era of Chaos."
"During the entire Era of Chaos, battlefields will cover the entire Primordial World. Even in the Cosmic Sea, great battles will frequently occur, and there will be virtually no safe place."
"So, getting to the Eternal Battlefield is actually quite simple. I remember you learned the Moonlight Record; just follow the river of time back a few eras, and you'll get there."
I see.
Li Xingkong suddenly realized.
All wars throughout the Primordial World era, past and future, were forcibly transferred to a single era for handling.
Li Xingkong dared not imagine who was behind this situation. Anyone who could create such a battlefield, whether an individual or an organization, must possess formidable strength.
"Thank you, Yuanjun. I will make preparations now and then head to the Eternal Battlefield."
"When you go to the battlefield, remember that members of the Jade Void Sect must not fight each other. After you arrive, if you see any fellow disciples, you can travel with them for convenience."
With Yuanjun's guidance, Li Xingkong understood a little. This Eternal Battlefield may seem like a mess, but it is actually orderly within the chaos. Ordinary cultivators may be able to go in and protect themselves, but even if the Jade Void Sect members go in, they still act in groups.
This also highlights the difference between large and small powers.
Having learned how to collect concepts, Li Xingkong bid farewell to Yuanjun.
Going to the battlefield is no child's play; Li Xingkong should make some preparations in advance.
Although battles between immortals are a contest of concepts, which is very different from the clashes of magical Magic Power and spells that occurred before becoming an immortal, it is still very necessary to make some preparations in advance.
Li Xingkong planned to first visit the market area within the Jade Void Palace.
Since arriving in the Primordial World, he has basically had no disputes with anyone. Strictly speaking, Li Xingkong's understanding of the fighting styles and combat methods in the Primordial World is basically blank. He needs to learn about the common fighting methods in the Primordial World through the market.
The market area of the Jade Void Palace is very large.
This was Li Xingkong's first time visiting such a large-scale market. Looking around, he saw flying islands covered with silk and satin. On each flying island, thousands of shops of varying sizes were set up, and countless independent cultivators set up stalls in the open spaces on the islands, making it a very lively place.
The entire market was packed with cultivators, most of whom were Nascent Soul Nascent Soul. Occasionally, immortals would pass by and blend into the crowd, without any haughty attitude.
Within the Jade Void Palace, immortals are as numerous as the ministers crossing the river.
Li Xingkong randomly chose a flying island and stepped onto it.
The market shops catering to Nascent Soul might seem useless to Li Xingkong, but that's not actually the case. By observing the popular goods in the market and the items purchased by most cultivators, Li Xingkong could understand the combat methods of these cultivators and the risks they would face.
As Li Xingkong strolled through the market, he spread out his Divine Sense and quietly began to observe the various transactions taking place.
The market exchanges aimed at Nascent Soul cultivators were vastly different from what Li Xingkong had seen in the Primordial Universe.
The vast majority of the markets did not sell actual goods, but rather blueprints.
Nascent Soul cultivators can create things from nothingness, and their Divine Sense analysis ability is extremely strong. No matter what kind of elixir or medicine it is, if it has a physical form, it will inevitably be taken for free.
These blueprints have undergone special encryption. As long as Magic Power is transmitted, they can be used to construct physical objects. These objects are protected by special rules that can shield cultivators from analysis.
This method of sale was indeed the first time Li Xingkong had ever seen it. Whether it was elixirs or precious medicines, they were all turned into blueprints, which looked quite strange.
After wandering around several markets and hamlets, Li Xingkong had a general idea of what was going on.
The most traded items are consumables, mostly pills that increase cultivation speed. However, among these shops selling pills, those related to combat are very rare.
Besides these, there are defensive magical artifacts. Apart from the shield-type immortal robe that Li Xingkong is very familiar with, the most common type is a detection-type defensive magical artifact.
They come in all shapes and sizes, but these detection-type defensive magic treasures have only one basic function: to help cultivators detect changes in the rules of their surrounding environment.
After all, this is the Primordial World, where there are too many immortals. In such an environment, if Nascent Soul cultivator wants to live a long time, he/she needs to have a pair of sharp eyes.
Being able to sense danger in advance and escape at the appropriate time is of paramount importance.
"We don't need to look at this; I can handle it."
Just as Li Xingkong was pondering whether he should also create a similar immortal artifact, the system suddenly made a sound.
"You have this function? I've never seen it before?"
Li Xingkong was delighted. This system seemed to know his thoughts like a mind reader.
"Haven't we encountered any danger yet? You never go anywhere, just going back and forth between the Jade Void Palace and your own little world. You've been there so many times already, do I need to investigate anything more?"
Is it that the system doesn't want to showcase itself? Or is it that Li Xingkong is just too much of a homebody?
"Hmm, isn't this unnecessary? Why go out?"
Li Xingkong didn't see any need for him to travel all over the Primordial World; he lacked nothing.
For immortals, there are absolutely no material needs. The resources in the entire Primordial World that can benefit them are few and far between. In any case, Li Xingkong has never seen a single one so far, and he doesn't think there are any external things that can help his cultivation.
As for sightseeing, Li Xingkong said that such entertainment would have to wait until he had finished his current cultivation plan.
He can't relax when he has something on his plate.
