Not long after Ji Yaoxue left, Su Zimo was repairing the formation near the cave abode when the Night Spirit escorted Xiaoning over.
"What's wrong?"
Su Zimo asked when he saw that Xiaoning was hesitant to speak, as though she had something on her mind.
Hesitating for a moment, Su Xiaoning took out an ancient and exquisite Elixir Furnace and frowned. "Brother, I don't know why, but this Elixir Furnace has been heating up ever since we entered the ancient battlefield."
Su Zimo took over the Elixir Furnace and sensed it.
Sure enough, this alchemy furnace was emitting a trace of warmth, but it was not obvious.
This Elixir Furnace was the source of the conflict between the Su Zimo siblings and True Fire Sect in the capital of Great Zhou.
Ever since Xiaoning obtained this Elixir Furnace, it was easier for her to focus her mental energy and her elixir refinement state would reach its peak as long as she had it with her!
At that time, Su Zimo already felt that this Elixir Furnace had a great background.
Now, it seemed like there was a high chance that this Elixir Furnace had something to do with the ancient battlefield!
Su Zimo returned the Elixir Furnace to Xiaoning and asked, "Apart from the heat, do you have any other strange feelings?"
"Strange feelings …"
Su Xiaoning pondered for a moment before saying, "I haven't been sleeping well the past few days. It's as though I can feel an inexplicable calling. It's faintly discernible. Does that count?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Can you sense the direction of that calling?"
"That way!"
Su Xiaoning pointed to the south with a firm tone.
Su Zimo nodded and had a plan in mind.
Since he had already decided to check out the depths of the ancient battlefield, he might as well head in the direction that Xiaoning pointed out and see if he could unravel the secret of this ancient Elixir Furnace.
For the next ten days or so, after Su Zimo repaired the formation outside the cave abode, he stayed alone in the final stone chamber for a few more days before calling everyone to the main hall of the cave abode.
"I intend to leave this place and check out the depths of the ancient battlefield."
After Su Zimo said this, his eyes inadvertently swept over Jun Hao. The latter was expressionless, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry.
Ji Yaoxue and Su Xiaoning already knew about this. Naturally, they did not have any reaction, but the others had different expressions.
Si Yutang was the first to jump out and object. "I'm definitely not going. Before we entered the ancient battlefield, all the seniors warned us not to go too deep into the battlefield. If you're courting death, I won't accompany you."
"Mr. Mo, this place is treacherous and protected by the array. We've already obtained the Meridian Unlocking Elixir. We can just cultivate in seclusion here. There's no need to risk venturing deep into the ancient battlefield."
A Great Zhou guard frowned and shook his head in denial.
"Brother Zimo is very powerful. Even if you enter the depths of the ancient battlefield, you will be able to protect yourself."
Jun Hao stood out and sighed regretfully. "It's a pity that my strength is limited and I can't travel alongside you, Brother Zimo."
Su Zimo looked at Jun Hao with a fake smile. Without saying anything, he looked at the other cultivators.
Ji Chengtian said in a deep voice, "Zimo, I'll go with you!"
"Bro, I'll go too," Little Fatty stood out hurriedly.
Leng Rou nodded to Su Zimo as well.
Shi Jian scratched his head and smiled foolishly. "I'll go with you guys as well."
Another Great Zhou guard frowned and said with a stern expression, "Everyone, you have to think carefully. The depths of the ancient battlefield are much more dangerous than the borders. Every step is filled with danger and there's only a slim chance of survival! Six meridian Foundation Establishment is the lowest cultivation in the depths of the ancient battlefield! "
Another person said, "That's right. If you encounter the successors of top factions, they can kill all of you singlehandedly! For the past thousands of years, none of the cultivators who ventured deep into the ancient battlefield returned alive! "
Su Zimo cupped his fists. "I've already made up my mind. Thank you for your reminder, fellow Daoists."
In reality, everyone from Misty Peak knew that the deeper they ventured into the ancient battlefield, the more dangerous it would be.
However, opportunities coexisted with danger!
Furthermore, for Ji Chengtian and the others, there was something more important.
Before entering the ancient battlefield, the two peak masters, Xuan Yi and Liu Hui, hinted to them that they had to find other passageways in the ancient battlefield to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty and Tianhuang Mainland's North Region!
Before long, Ji Chengtian, Leng Rou, Little Fatty, Xiaoning, Shi Jian and Night Spirit arrived behind Su Zimo. Out of the eleven of them, only Ji Yaoxue and the two Great Zhou guards, Jun Hao and Si Yutang were left.
"I've already repaired the formation outside. This stone chamber is sufficient. You guys can cultivate separately."
Su Zimo looked deeply at Ji Yaoxue before leaving with Xiaoning and the others.
After sending Su Zimo and the others off, Ji Yaoxue was a little disappointed and said indifferently, "From today onwards, I'll be cultivating in seclusion. Nobody is allowed to enter my cultivation chamber."
With that, Ji Yaoxue walked towards the stone chamber at the end of the fifth passageway.
There were five stone chambers here. Si Yutang shrugged his shoulders and chose a random one to begin his long cultivation as well.
Jun Hao looked at Ji Yaoxue's departing back view with a cold glint in his eyes and his lips curled.
…
After leaving this place, Su Zimo took out a map and compared it to the map before leading everyone south.
With Su Zimo and Night Spirit around, the journey south was more daunting than dangerous.
However, as they ventured deeper into the ancient battlefield, even Su Zimo was starting to feel some pressure.
The ferocious beasts they encountered along the way were getting stronger and they were even ambushed by other cultivators. Apart from Su Zimo, almost everyone else was injured.
Although they were all at the same cultivation realm, the six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators they encountered in the depths of the ancient battlefield were much stronger than those at the borders.
Even Ji Chengtian who possessed the three great secret skills of Misty Peak was suppressed in a one-on-one fight.
As for Su Zimo, the pressure on him was increasing as well.
At the borders of the ancient battlefield, he could still ensure the safety of the six of them.
But now, he could only protect one or two of them at most!
For the past 10 days, everyone was on the move and did not have any time to cultivate.
Although their cultivation realms were the same as before, Ji Chengtian and the others had clearly grown in strength after the 10 days of intense battles where they were on the brink of death multiple times!
This was a transformation that could not be achieved through seclusion cultivation.
Ten days later, when evening approached, an ancient city appeared on the horizon ahead. It was as if an ancient giant beast was crouching there.
It was a gathering point marked on the map, Xuantian City.
All the cities that remained from the Primordial Battlefield were the largest gathering points. Cultivators from all sorts of factions and sects would gather in these places.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They had been on the road for ten days straight and were extremely tense. Other than Su Zimo who was still energetic and did not look tired, the others were injured and were already at their limits.
If they could not find a place to rest before nightfall, it would be an extremely difficult night for them.
Along the way, Ji Chengtian and the others looked at Su Zimo with increasing curiosity and respect.
Be it at the borders of the ancient battlefield or in the depths, no one could tell where Su Zimo's limits were.
That seemingly frail body seemed to contain an endless amount of power. His physical strength was vigorous, and his endurance was astonishing!
All of them knew that if not for Su Zimo, they would have died on the way before they could even see Xuantian City.
