First Arrival in the Land of Slaughter

Land of Slaughter.

The most ominous place in the Profound Continent.

Although it is located in the Profound Continent, it is actually a secret realm within the Profound Continent.

The Land of Slaughter were originally an ancient battlefield, one of the battlegrounds where other worlds clashed with the Profound Heaven Continent.

Now that Mysterious Heaven dominates the three thousand worlds, it is rare for war to reach the Profound Heaven Continent.

But countless souls still linger and wreak havoc on this battlefield.

To prevent the souls of the dead from the ancient battlefield from emerging from the secret realm, the Great Sage have all stationed cultivators here and launch a purge from time to time.

Of course, some cultivators will also come to the Land of Slaughter to cultivate in order to become stronger.

Shi Xuan is neither the first nor the last.

He used the teleportation array to arrive at the Dao-Seeking Pass outside the Land of Slaughter. As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, several disciples from the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy immediately came forward to greet him.

"You must be Junior Brother Shi?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in a butler's uniform.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Shi Xuan greets Senior Brother. May I ask how you should address me?"

"My surname is Shi, and my given name is Yuqi. I am a disciple of Elder Bai of the External Affairs Institute."

Shi Yuqi introduced himself with a smile, while also implying to Shi Xuan that they were on his side.

Shi Xuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly, saying, "So Senior Brother is Martial Uncle Bai's disciple. It's an honor to meet you."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

Although Shi Yuqi knew that his junior brother Shi was just being polite, he felt honored to be able to exchange pleasantries with the prodigies of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Countless people would love to establish a connection with the prodigies of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute but never have the chance.

He continued, "Junior Brother Shi, you must be tired from your journey. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust of your travels. I hope you will grace us with your presence."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother."

As the crown prince of the Northern Wasteland Dynasty, Shi Xuan was naturally well-versed in human relationships and social customs.

Soon, the group arrived at a banquet hall. Although Shi Yuqi was a steward, he still invited Shi Xuan to the main seat.

Shi Xuan naturally wouldn't sit in the main seat. After the two declined each other's seats, Shi Yuqi finally took the main seat, and the banquet began.

The banquet was filled with clinking glasses and constant laughter.

After several rounds of drinks...

Shi Yuqi asked, "Junior Brother Shi, how long do you plan to stay in the Land of Slaughter this time?"

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I came to this Land of Slaughter purely to improve myself. I will leave when I feel ready to go."

Shi Yuqi had no doubt about this answer. After all, a prodigy like Shi Xuan couldn't possibly stay in a place like the Land of Slaughter for his entire life.

He then took out a map from his storage ring and casually pushed it aside.

"Junior brother, this is a map of the Land of Slaughter. It marks the locations of various Devil Creature. You can take a look and see where you want to train."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Shi Xuan took the map and then raised his wine glass.

Shi Yuqi smiled and said, "It was nothing. We'll have to rely on Junior Brother Shi in the future."

The party ended several hours later.

After finding Shi Xuan a place to stay, Shi Yuqi specifically asked, "I wonder when Junior Brother plans to enter the Land of Slaughter for training?"

He hadn't asked about it earlier because there were too many people and too much chatter in the banquet hall. He didn't want to risk his junior brother's whereabouts being exposed by some loose tongue, which could lead to his junior brother getting into trouble in the Land of Slaughter. He couldn't bear that responsibility.

I plan to go tomorrow.

Shi Xuan did not hide anything.

Shi Yuqi said, "Junior brother, the killing intent and Sha Qi in this Land of Slaughter are too strong. You must be careful."

Shi Xuan: "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother. I will be careful."

Shi Yuqi: "Alright, then I won't disturb your rest any longer. Goodbye."

Goodbye.

After seeing the other party off, Shi Xuan immediately opened the map. The map was very detailed, showing not only the gathering places of various Devil Creature, but also the strength of the Devil Creature.

By the time Shi Xuan finished his careful study, it was already midnight.

The following morning.

Without saying goodbye to Shi Yuqi Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan disguised himself, put on a bronze mask, and headed to the entrance of the Land of Slaughter.

Upon seeing Shi Xuan's strange attire, the disciples guarding the entrance immediately reached out to stop him.

"Stop! This is Land of Slaughter. Non-Self disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy are allowed to enter."

Shi Xuan didn't argue with them much, but instead took out the token symbolizing a true disciple from his storage ring.

Upon seeing the token, the disciples of the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy present immediately greeted him respectfully, "So it's Senior Brother Zhenshen, please."

Thank you for your help.

As Shi Xuan spoke, he walked towards the entrance.

As the crowd watched his departing figure, they began to whisper among themselves.

"This senior brother is quite mysterious; could he be a prodigy of the academy?"

"Even if he's not a prodigy, he must have a powerful background. The bronze mask on his face is a magical treasure that can block divine sense from seeing through. Ordinary disciples don't have enough spirit stones to buy something like that."

"Hiss..."

Those present gasped upon hearing the word "spiritual treasure." They couldn't possibly gather enough spirit stones to buy something like a spiritual treasure, even if they spent ten years.

The moment Shi Xuan entered the Land of Slaughter, he was hit by a strong smell of blood.

He subconsciously looked up at the sky, and just as rumored, the sky over the Land of Slaughter was blood red, and the earth was pitch black.

The Spiritual Qi here carries terrifying malevolent Sha Qi, making it several times slower to recover one's cultivation level by absorbing Spiritual Qi compared to the outside world.

The only way to quickly restore Spiritual Qi is through elixirs and certain treasures.

At the same time, one must be constantly on guard against the dangers around them.

It can be said that this place is the most dangerous place Shi Xuan has ever been to.

But Shi Xuan felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt an inexplicable excitement.

He quickly recalled the map he had seen the night before, and soon he had a direction and a goal.

This time, Shi Xuan's training location was a place called White Bone Valley, a hundred miles to the southwest.

The Devil Creature there are all Bone Devil, and Devil Creature at the Dao Foundation Realm are everywhere. Moreover, every minor commander is at the Life Elixir Realm, while the major commander is at the Heavenly Origin Realm stage.

Shi Xuan did not choose to fly on his sword, as it would be unwise to expend his spiritual energy too early in the Land of Slaughter.

He summoned a spirit beast from his spirit beast pouch to help him travel.

This spirit beast is Ice Wolf at the Life Elixir Realm. Not only is it extremely fast, but it also carries gusts of cold wind when it runs, which can help avoid some unnecessary trouble in advance.

An hour later, Shi Xuan arrived at the outside of White Bone Valley without any hindrance.

After feeding his spirit beast a spirit beast pill, Shi Xuan put the beast into his bag, then drew his sword and walked into the valley...
