Inside the cave abode.
Breakthroughs are a fortunate thing.
If it were anyone else, like Lin Xuan, who could break through from the Emperor Realm to the Heavenly Venerable in one go, they would probably be so happy that they wouldn't even be able to speak.
However, after Lin Xuan ended his meditation, he slowly opened his eyes and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
It is said that wealth, companionship, law, and location are the most important factors, with wealth being ranked first. Indeed, it is of paramount importance.
He originally thought that he would be close to breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable, but after the breakthrough, he could feel that he still had energy left.
The reason he didn't make further breakthroughs was because his prediction was wrong.
We don't have enough resources to make a breakthrough...
If resources are sufficient, reaching the peak of the Heavenly Venerable Perfection realm is definitely achievable, let alone the Thearch Realm.
"However, it's more or less enough for now."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan got up and left the cave abode. As he walked out of the quiet room and looked up at the sky, a trace of worry rose in his heart.
Since he doesn't have enough Cultivation Resources, it's time for him to go and see the renowned Demon Battlefield.
First, you can kill demons to earn military merits, which can be exchanged for rewards and resources.
Another one...
He was genuinely worried about his sister.
It has been so long since he arrived at the Supreme Institute, but Lin Yuechan still hasn't returned. It's hard not to worry about such a long time.
Lin Xuan's memories of his sister had almost faded to the point of being invisible.
But he still remembers that back then, his eldest brother was gentle, his older sister was cheerful, his younger sister was quirky, and his parents were loving. Although the Lin Household was a super Aristocratic Clan that was hard to reach in the eyes of ordinary people, in their own home, they were just an ordinary family with family members who cared for each other.
Every time his older sister left home and returned every few months, she would always bring him his favorite glass fruit. Glass fruit was quite expensive, and it only grew in a very special little secret realm, so few people brought it out of the secret realm to sell.
But every time, Lin Yuechan could bring him back the Glass Fruit as if by magic.
Sometimes, her mother would scold her gently, "You silly child, your father and I will take care of your younger brother's snacks, but you should save the Spirit Stone you earn for yourself. You could buy yourself some pretty clothes and hairpins."
Lin Yuechan just smiled.
He smiled without saying a word, seemingly unconcerned about the simple robes he wore.
The next time Lin Xuan returned home from school, he would still see the glass fruit his sister had brought back.
Various thoughts flashed before Lin Xuan's eyes, transforming into tangible longing and worry.
Although there are holy masters stationed on the Demon Battlefield, things are unlikely to go wrong.
However, he no longer wanted to wait any longer.
He wanted to personally go to the Demon Battlefield to find out what was going on!
Demon Battlefield.
The bright moonlight shone on the chaotic, dark red earth ravaged by war, the stench of blood and decay permeating the air, assaulting the cultivators' keen sense of smell.
This place is Demon Battlefield.
It is a place where countless demons and monsters, and an unknown number of Human Race cultivators, gather in a horrific place.
Countless lives and deaths, countless battles, all unfold here, along with countless fortuitous opportunity and clashes.
Here, the lingering resentment of Human Race ancestors who died, as well as the vengeful spirit of demons, all converge on the battlefield, condensing into a layer of gloom that never sees the light of day.
Sunlight has nowhere to shine here, so it cannot dispel the resentment on the Demon Battlefield. Even moonlight can only draw upon a trace of moonlight power when the moon is full each month.
As for a breakthrough...
Few, no, almost no one breaks through on the Demon Battlefield.
Seeking a breakthrough is one thing, but to try and break through on the battlefield is tantamount to suicide!
The battlefield was filled with lingering resentment, indiscriminately distinguishing between friend and foe. Too many demons and Human Race cultivators had perished here, making it a death trap that even Yama, the King of Hell, could not extricate itself from.
The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
It is precisely because of this that people are more likely to hesitate and perish.
At the edge of the Demon Battlefield, in a well-hidden cave abode, a woman dressed in a simple smoky gray robe suddenly opened her eyes, changed from a cross-legged position to a slumped position, clutched her chest, her face pale, and a trace of blood trickled from her lips.
She barely managed to suppress the urge to vomit blood, raised her fingers, and quickly tapped her body several times to steady her breathing. She then tried to sit cross-legged and meditate to regulate her breathing.
But this time, she didn't close her eyes.
The woman had an exceptionally beautiful and elegant face, truly like a flower in full bloom or a bright moon shining down, but at this moment, the pale and haggard look on her face ruined that beauty.
Her name was Lin Yuechan.
Unfortunately...
"In the end, did it still fail?"
Lin Yuechan steadied the turbulent energy within her body, her face growing increasingly filled with despair.
She came here originally to use her military merits on the Demon Battlefield to exchange for rewards and use them as Cultivation Resources. She also did her best to clear a piece of land for herself to use as a temporary cave abode for advancement.
This place is close to the Demon Battlefield, so there is not much resentment or death energy, nor much interference from demons. After she set up the formation, almost no one would notice this place.
It also allows her to draw upon the fighting spirit of the Demon Battlefield and the immense divine power left behind by various lingering resentments, empowering herself to seek victory amidst danger and a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
She knew that doing this was extremely risky; if things went wrong, her cultivation level could collapse, or she could even die here.
But she had no other choice!
The pressure on the Moon Eve Alliance is increasing. If she doesn't break through quickly, the suppression will likely intensify, and it may even face disintegration.
She must break through and find that sliver of hope for a miraculous comeback!
But...
She failed.
Lin Yuechan sighed softly, an uncontrollable bitter smile appearing on her face.
She clenched her fists in frustration, but there was nothing she could do. Finally, she loosened her fists and managed a weary, bitter smile.
She was well aware of the consequences of her failure.
This not only means that he gained nothing from this trip, but also that the counterattack from the Golden Wing Alliance will be even more intense. Under the suppression of a force like the Golden Wing Alliance, the Moon Eve Alliance has almost no way out except to disband.
"If anyone's to blame, it's me for being too hasty."
She was definitely in too much of a hurry.
Breakthroughs are not something that can be rushed.
The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to fail, especially since she is seeking a breakthrough in such a dangerous place.
However, Lin Yuechan also knew that she couldn't help but be anxious; if she didn't break through soon, the Moon Eve Alliance would be gone.
"That's enough, that's enough..."
Lin Yuechan sighed softly and shook her head.
Ultimately, it was a matter of timing, fate, and destiny. Since things have come to this, failure is failure.
Even if she failed to break through, she wouldn't have another chance.
Even if the Moon Eve Alliance were to disband, she, as its leader, absolutely could not let the members bear the burden alone.
No matter what, we must face it together.
Whether facing storms or opportunities, she will never abandon Moon Eve Alliance.
