The Sea Exploration Alliance, the Profound Sky Sect Alliance, and the 72 Isles of the South Sea had officially formed an alliance. When this news came out, everyone in the Sword Spirit Boundary was stunned. Then the people from the Great Sects also knew what they were doing. They were surprised, but they immediately reacted. Why did the three of them form an alliance? The people from the Great Sects couldn't bear such an outcome, they had no choice but to change their plans.
Just as Zhao Hai thought before, the people from the Great Sects were already planning to reach out to the South Sea. They were ready to take over the entire South Sea, especially the buffer zone. That was an important springboard for them. They wanted to control the buffer zone first.
But now that the Sea Exploration Alliance, the Profound Sky Sect, and the 72 Isles of the South Sea had formed an alliance, their previous plans couldn't be carried out. They were very clear that if they really attacked the buffer zone, the Profound Sky Sect and the 72 Isles of the South Sea wouldn't just sit idly by. This was because whether it was the Profound Sky Sect or the 72 Isles of the South Sea, they were very clear that once they took over the buffer zone, the next step would be to take over the entire South Sea. At that time, not to mention the 72 Isles of the South Sea, even the Profound Sky Sect wouldn't have a good time.
The Profound Sky Sect was now a part of the South Sea. Although they didn't have an advantage like the 72 Isles of the South Sea, they still sent a large number of disciples to the South Sea every year. These disciples were very strong, and they were also able to obtain a lot of resources.
However, if these large sects really controlled the South China Sea, then the Mysterious Sky Sect wouldn't dare to send disciples to the South China Sea. Their profits in the South China Sea would also be greatly affected. Most importantly, once these large sects took over the South China Sea, then the Mysterious Sky Sect's bitter days would come.
Because of this, the Profound Sky Sect didn't want the Great Sects to control the South Sea. This was a fundamental conflict with their interests.
In fact, the Great Sects were smiling bitterly at this moment. In the past, the Sea Exploration Alliance, the Profound Sky Sect, and the 72 Isles of the South Sea were constantly fighting each other. It can be said that the hatred between the Great Sects was very deep. But now, they suddenly formed an alliance. This was all due to the pressure from the Great Sects.
This was also one of the inconveniences of large sects. Even if you didn't do anything and just wanted to do business with the other party without any ulterior motives, the other party wouldn't believe you. They would definitely think that you had some tricks up your sleeves and would be wary of you in every possible way. If you really wanted to do something, then the other party would be even more vigilant. Therefore, it was very difficult for these big sects to expand. It was even more difficult than some small sects.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai's group only said that they had formed an alliance. However, they didn't say what kind of alliance it was. This made people think that the alliance was very deep and unbreakable. It can be said that the alliance not only controlled the South Sea but also became one of the few major forces in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai and the others didn't think of this point. Later on, Zhao Hai and the others discovered that there were a lot of changes in the attitude of the Great Sects in the continent towards them. This made Zhao Hai and the others puzzled. Later on, they understood that this was the benefits of the alliance. This made Zhao Hai and the others think about the alliance carefully.
The alliance can bring a lot of benefits to the three parties. If one day, people knew that the alliance was only aimed at the Great Sects, then would the other sects' attitude towards them change? If this was the case, then they would suffer some losses in the future.
At the thought of this, the three parties gathered once again. The location of this gathering was the Green Mist Sect. Their main purpose was to discuss the matter of the alliance. After many discussions, they decided that the alliance would not change. However, there would be some minor adjustments. They had to be united when dealing with external affairs, but they could do as they pleased with internal affairs.
This might seem to be the same as before, but in fact, the changes were huge. In the past, they would only unite when dealing with the Great Sects in the South Sea. But now, they would unite when dealing with external enemies. In other words, whether it was a Great Sect or not, as long as someone provoked them, they would unite to deal with external enemies. This included the entire Sword Spirit World. This had completely changed their view of the world.
It can be said that after being stimulated by external forces, Zhao Hai and the others' alliance was truly established. They had more contact with each other and even cooperated several times.
This situation was naturally seen by the Great Sects. When the Great Sects saw the three parties cooperating, they were more certain that the alliance was correct. Because of this, they became more careful about the South Sea. They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they would cause a backlash from Zhao Hai and the others.
Just as everyone's attention was on the buffer zone, something happened that attracted the attention of the entire Sword Spirit Boundary. The location of this incident wasn't the South Sea, but a very famous place in the Sword Spirit Continent. It was called the Ancient Battlefield.
Just by hearing this name, one would know what kind of place the Ancient Battlefield was. The Ancient Battlefield was the legendary battlefield of the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm. According to the legends, the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm was much bigger than it was now. However, for some unknown reason, a war broke out between the two realms. In the end, space was torn apart and the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm was formed. However, the people of the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm believed that there were other realms like the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm that were as big as the Ancient Sword Spirit Realm.
Naturally, Zhao Hai had also heard of this legend. He knew that it wasn't just a legend, it was true. Regardless of whether there were other realms like the Sword Spirit Boundary, he only knew that the Sword Spirit Boundary was separated from the Sword Spirit Boundary. It was originally one with the Sword Spirit Boundary, but now it was separated.
However, the Sword Spirit Boundary left behind an Ancient Battlefield. The terrain of this Ancient Battlefield was very strange. There were mountains, giant lakes, and some places even had remnants of ancient energy. This made the Ancient Battlefield overflow with energy. It was impossible to use a portable transmission formation in this place. Even cultivators wouldn't be able to survive for a long time. This was because they would be affected by the energy of the ancient powers and might even suffer from qi deviation.
But the energy left behind by the ancient powers was also very useful. This was because the energy left behind by the ancient powers was very special. However, it didn't deviate from the power of the five elements. Because of this, some cultivators would often go to the Ancient Battlefield to find an energy field that was compatible with their attribute. They would go there to sense and comprehend the energy to improve their understanding of energy and make themselves stronger.
In addition to sensing energy, they would also go to the Ancient Battlefield to look for treasures. There were many demonic beasts and demonic plants in the Ancient Battlefield. These demonic beasts and plants were very powerful. Some of them weren't worse than cultivators. In addition, they had been living in the Ancient Battlefield and weren't affected by the chaotic energy there. Therefore, these demonic beasts and plants were much stronger than cultivators.
The materials from these demonic beasts and demonic plants were also top-grade materials for refining tools or alchemy. They were very popular among cultivators. So every year, a large number of cultivators would go to the Ancient Battlefield to hunt the demonic beasts and demonic plants. Of course, there were also many cultivators who became food for those demonic beasts.
In addition to demonic beasts and demonic plants, there were a lot of good things in the ancient battlefield, including the inheritances of the ancient mighty, the artifacts of the ancient mighty, and so on. These things were all good things. Even if you could find a fragment of an ancient mighty artifact, it was still a top-notch treasure. Think about it, after countless years of baptism, there was still something left behind in the end. This thing must be a great treasure.
But this time, what attracted people's attention in the Ancient Battlefield wasn't the ancient power's inheritance or the artifacts of the ancient war. It was because of the discovery of an entrance to a secret realm in the Ancient Battlefield. The entrance to this secret realm didn't even have a level restriction.
Although other secret realms were generally split from the Sword Spirit World, they slowly formed some of their own laws over the long years. These laws were often reflected at the entrance of the secret realm. Generally, there was a level restriction to enter the secret realm. For example, in the Tiankeng secret realm, only cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm were allowed to enter. And now, in the secret realm that Zhao Hai fought, only cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and below were allowed to enter. It was precisely because of this that many secret realms were of little value to the people of some big sects.
But this time, the secret realm that was discovered in the Ancient Battlefield didn't have a restriction. It shouldn't be said that it didn't have a restriction, but the restriction threshold was relatively high. At least now people knew that there was no problem for cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm to enter the secret realm. It was said that there were Void Returning Realm experts rushing to the Ancient Battlefield to try and see if they could enter the secret realm. If Void Returning Realm experts could enter the secret realm, then it meant that most people in the Sword Spirit World could enter.
Speaking of which, the discovery of the secret realm's entrance was truly a miracle. In the beginning, no one had discovered the secret realm's entrance because the secret realm's entrance was located in a lake. The lake's water was invisible, so naturally, no one would have thought that there would be an entrance to the secret realm in the lake.
Just a while ago, a few sect disciples went to the Ancient Battlefield to train. Later on, because of a small matter, they got into a conflict and fought. The place where they fought was the sky above the lake. In the end, someone was beaten into the lake. It was because he accidentally found the entrance to the Mystic Realm. Naturally, the news spread.
