Flame of the Azure Nether
After listening to Wu Ciren's brief explanation of the situation inside, he said directly, "Alright, after I go in, when I encounter the things you mentioned, you can use this clone puppet to explain them to me."
After hearing what Wu Ciren said, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.
What kind of undying battle spirit formed the remnant ghost shadow?
Patrolling Heavenly Dao Puppet.
And the relentless Heavenly Dao Curse, etc.
Any Peak Great Emperor Realm expert who enters could perish in the endless ruins and become one of them.
However, these battlefield ruins have existed for so long that many things inside have not been damaged by humans and instead possess extremely amazing fortuitous opportunity.
For example, some surviving potions are even hundreds of millions of years old.
"I really didn't expect such a place to exist. I was truly ignorant before," Lu Qing'an muttered to himself.
If there are indeed many good things inside, and they don't endanger his life, he will come here more often in the future, treating it as his own backyard.
If what's inside doesn't threaten Xiao Qingyi and the others' lives, it can be used as a training ground for Xiao Qingyi.
After all, the Saber Domain in the courtyard had almost served its purpose, and he was going to give Saber Domain to his son afterward.
At that time, we will need to find other things to give Xiao Qingyi and the others experience so that they can better absorb the Divine Crystal.
This place might be a good training ground.
Without further ado, he took Wu Ciren's clone puppet and plunged into the void black hole.
"Wait outside and don't wander off."
Wu Ciren nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry! I'll definitely wait for you to come out!"
After passing through the void passage, Lu Qing'an's figure flashed, and his vision went dark for a moment. When his vision returned, he saw a vast and desolate battlefield ruin.
The sky was shrouded in a thick gray fog, and the blood-red setting sun hung in the sky like a solidified wound, dyeing the shattered earth dark red.
The earth's surface is riddled with bottomless rifts, within which surges a dark purple, resentful aura, like the howling of countless dead souls.
The broken immortal artifacts and demonic weapons lay half-buried in the scorched earth, their rusted blades still gleaming faintly with a cold light, occasionally emitting a mournful hum when touched by the wind.
In the distance, the collapsed dome of the celestial palace leans precariously against the ground, entwined with dark vines.
The skeletons of Devil Race were piled up like mountains, and eerie green flames flickered in their empty eye sockets.
The air was thick with the smells of decay and sulfur, mixed with the ancient stench of blood.
"It is indeed an ancient battlefield," Lu Qing'an said.
The clone puppet standing to the side spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, can you feel it? We can't spread our Divine Sense here. There's an extremely dense concentration of Chaos Source Qi, restricting the spread of Divine Sense. We can only probe within a ten-zhang radius."
Lu Qing'an closed his eyes, extended his Divine Sense, and discovered that his Divine Sense could reach about a thousand feet.
To gauge the size of the entire battlefield, neither visual perception nor Divine Sense is sufficient.
"Moreover, there is Heavenly Dao Curse here. If you stay here for too long, even if you get out, you will hardly make any progress in your cultivation, and you may even regress. So if you encounter any difficulties later, try to get out as soon as possible and don't stay too long. We should try to leave here within half a day," Wu Ciren said.
"Alright, let's go. Where did you find the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine before?" Lu Qing'an asked.
If nothing unexpected happens, there might still be some of the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine that Wu Ciren found when he last came here.
Wu Ciren looked around, confirmed the direction, and said, "Over there! About three thousand li away!"
"Alright, let's go." Lu Qing'an originally wanted to break through the void to travel, but he unexpectedly discovered that the void here was extremely fragile, and he had a feeling that if he forcefully destroyed the void to travel, it would easily cause a large area of the void to collapse.
"Fine, let's just fly there."
It's an unfamiliar environment after all; it wouldn't be good if we accidentally caused it to collapse.
At least we need to find the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine first.
The two flew off in that direction.
However, the two had only flown less than half a mile when Wu Ciren suddenly stopped and quickly pointed ahead. "Fellow Daoist! Do you see that? That's the remnant soul of the powerful beings from the Immortal Domain or Demon Domain Realm who died in that great battle! Under the influence of the Chaos Source Qi, it has formed extremely strong resentment and possesses terrifying power."
Lu Qing'an looked up.
The lingering ghostly figures in the air were like thick ink, their shapes twisted and uncertain, their outlines neither human nor inhuman, and their bodies were filled with surging, dark resentment.
Crimson ghost flames flickered in the empty eye sockets, each flash releasing a chilling killing intent.
Its aura was chilling and bone-piercing, comparable to the pressure of the Early Great Emperor Realm. Wherever it passed, the space trembled, and the ground condensed into dark blue frost.
Fragments of tattered armor floated in the resentment, faintly revealing the horrific traces of their past battles.
"With the strength of the Early Great Emperor Realm cultivator, what is the strongest possible strength of this remnant soul?" Lu Qing'an asked.
"I've encountered remnant souls with the strength of ordinary Peak Great Emperor Realm! As for whether there are any stronger ones, such as remnant souls comparable to your previous strength, I haven't encountered any yet, otherwise I would have stayed here long ago, but I think there should be!" Wu Ciren said.
Lu Qing'an chuckled lightly, and with a single wave of his hand, the remnant soul that had just seen them and was preparing to attack was instantly pulled in front of him.
The Demonic Qi on his arm formed a large, dark hand, tightly controlling the remnant soul.
"There's nothing special about him; he's no different from an ordinary Great Emperor Realm."
After carefully examining it, Lu Qing'an crushed the remnant soul with a single squeeze of his hand, as easily as crushing an ant.
"Let's go. I'm more interested in seeing what that Heavenly Dao Puppet, which you mentioned has at least the Peak Great Emperor Realm, looks like."
Hearing Lu Qing'an's words, Wu Ciren gave a wry smile.
She wished she would never meet him!
He actually wants to study it...
The two continued flying forward.
After flying for a short while, Lu Qing'an discovered a rare magical herb below.
"Yo ho." He waved his hand, and a magical herb flew down in front of him.
This is a top-grade Blood-Coagulating Grass, a full 100,000 years old. This magical herb is the main ingredient for refining healing pills. Healing pills made from a 100,000-year-old Blood-Coagulating Grass are extremely valuable.
"Is this considered one of the more common potions here?" Lu Qing'an turned to look at Wu Ciren.
"Ten thousand years, not bad, I guess we were lucky to encounter it," Wu Ciren said.
Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "It seems that even the little things I've gained on this trip are enough for others to work for many years."
He continued flying forward with Wu Ciren in his arms.
Along the way, he encountered many more remnant souls.
They were all at the Great Emperor Realm. The strongest remnant soul was at the Peak Great Emperor Realm, and not just any ordinary Peak Great Emperor Realm soul; it possessed at least one-tenth of its former strength.
However, he still managed to crush it with a casual flick of his wrist.
"It seems that this is the strongest these remnant souls possess. However, there are quite a few of them, and they can be heard making sounds as they quickly gather together."
He deliberately created some noise, and in an instant, more than a dozen remnant souls flew in from all directions.
They are all at the Great Emperor Realm.
"That's good, at least it's suitable for them to improve, especially for Little Xuanzi's apprentices."
His grand-disciple also possesses the Eternal Night Emperor Position, but he needs to focus on killing and fighting to advance faster.
Killing these remnant souls will also have a purpose!
Just as Lu Qing'an finished thinking this, he suddenly looked about a mile away.
"I didn't expect to have this kind of gain?"
Over there, there is a lake, and in the center of the lake, there is a blue flame!
It is the Water-attribute Divergent Flame among the Five Elements Fire, the Flame of the Azure Nether!
