After paying some Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, the waiter would be able to provide a more complete version of the information he had heard.
It turned out that this Demon Battlefield had already been closed for more than a hundred years. This time, it had only reopened two years ago. After that, the number of cultivators coming to Boulder Island increased.
From the waiter's words, Xiao Chen knew that the Demon Battlefield was rumored to be an ancient battlefield. During the Ancient Era, a startling war had happened there.
The result of the war was a crushing defeat for the humans. Countless cultivators died at the hands of Demons and Demonic Beasts.
The last human Martial Emperor used his supreme strength to split the space of the battlefield, forming the Demon Battlefield.
Countless human cultivators died there. The various Secret Treasures of the ancient cultivators were buried in the battlefield.
Later on, during the Tianwu Dynasty, someone used a formation to open a door to this space. He discovered that it had already become a small world.
Countless Demonic Beasts and Demons thrived there. All sorts of ancient Secret Treasures could be found everywhere. It was a place where fortuitous encounters and danger coexisted.
There was still much more information that the waiter did not know. After all, he had never been to the Demon Battlefield before, so he had no way of knowing the details.
After Xiao Chen gave the waiter another ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, he sent him off. He thought to himself, It looks like the information I obtained is not complete. I have to find a cultivator who has been to the Demon Battlefield before to understand the situation.
"Ha ha! Brat, don't overthink. Since I agreed to go with you, why are you still worrying?"
Bai Lixi said with a laugh as he walked down the stairs and sat across from Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen raised the wine cup on the table and took a sip. He smiled helplessly and said, "I hope you can be relied on."
Bai Lixi drank a large mouthful of wine and wiped off the alcohol on his lips. He said, "Don't ask about that messy information. Just look at the map I gave you. Don't enter the core region. Aside from Demonic Beasts and Demons, just be on guard against human cultivators.
"I'll be honest with you. In the Demon Battlefield, most of the cultivators actually died at the hands of humans."
Xiao Chen's heart sank. It seemed that the situation was much worse than he had imagined. Not only did he have to face unknown demonic beasts and demons, he also had to be on guard against sneak attacks from humans.
This Medial Grade Secret Treasure was much harder to obtain than he had imagined.
For the next few days, Xiao Chen was active around the small city. There were many demonic beasts outside the city.
This was a suitable place to practice Martial Techniques. Before he went to the Demon Battlefield, he would be able to maintain a state of excitement.
Six days passed very quickly. The originally bustling small city became quiet. The large number of cultivators in the city quickly headed in one direction.
When nearly all the cultivators in the Immortal Gathering Pavilion had left, Bai Lixi and Xiao Chen followed the crowd.
Everywhere the cultivators passed, the Demonic Beasts blocking the way were cleared out. Their path was smooth and unobstructed.
Six hours later, the two of them stopped at the center of Boulder Island. It was already packed with people. A quick count showed that there were no less than a thousand warriors.
"I heard that there was an Inferior Grade Martial King who managed to obtain nine peak Inferior Grade Secret Treasures by himself. He made a fortune at the Desolate City Auction."
"There was also a fellow who was very lucky. He killed a high-ranked Blood Demon and sold its Demon Core for more than ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
Several cultivators discussed excitedly. There were all sorts of tempting treasures in the Demon Battlefield. Their gazes filled with anticipation as they looked at the empty space in the center.
Bai Lixi smiled coldly and said, "These people are really reckless. It would be good if half of the one thousand people managed to come out."
Xiao Chen sized up the crowd, looking for cultivators worth paying attention to. However, some of the more experienced cultivators hid themselves very well. It was hard to glean any useful information from them.
Furthermore, there were some cultivators who kept talking with excitement in their eyes. With one look, it was clear that this was their first time in the Demon Battlefield. They did not know much about the situation on the other side.
The full moon slowly moved in the air. Before countless people's expectant gazes, it finally arrived above them.
Instantly, a gentle pillar of light soared into the sky from the empty space in the center. The space around the pillar of light started to twist. "Sou!
Sou! "
The cultivators leaped towards the pillar of light one after another. Then, they disappeared from Xiao Chen's sight. This pillar of light should be the entrance to the Demon Battlefield.
When most of the cultivators had left and Xiao Chen was about to enter, Bai Lixi's expression suddenly changed. He pulled Xiao Chen back and said, "Wait a moment!"
Xiao Chen felt suspicious and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Lixi pointed in a direction and said, "Look over there!"
Xiao Chen looked in the direction Bai Lixi pointed. He saw ten-odd cultivators with extremely strong auras standing there. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen could not figure out the strength of this group of people.
"I nearly misjudged them. They are all half-step Martial Monarchs. It looks like they are here to hunt high-ranked Demons. Such an operation is rather rare. I have to go over and take a look. You should go and get the Medial Grade Secret Treasure yourself. "
A fervent look flashed in Bai Lixi's eyes as he whispered.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Can you do it?"
Bai Lixi smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I have already cultivated the Firmament Body Tempering Art to the fourth layer. My strength is more than twice what it was three months ago."
Xiao Chen was mildly startled. This Bai Lixi is really a genius at cultivating the physical body. Unexpectedly, he managed to cultivate a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique to the fourth layer in such a short time.
"You better pray for your luck. Don't die prematurely. Otherwise, the second half of my Firmament Body Tempering Art will be destroyed. I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that the ten-odd people had entered, Bai Lixi laughed loudly and followed. Just as he was about to step into the pillar of light …
He then turned around and reminded, "You must be careful. Don't be greedy. You must be careful of the humans behind you."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly to indicate that he understood. After interacting with Bai Lixi for the past few days, Xiao Chen knew that although Bai Lixi was not a proper person and had a bad temper, he was not a serious person.
However, in the end, he was not a treacherous person. He was very straightforward, which suited Xiao Chen's temperament. He took out a secret manual from the Universe Ring and quickly tossed it to Bai Lixi.
When Bai Lixi heard the sound, he immediately turned around and caught the secret manual. When he saw its contents, he could not help but reveal an expression of joy.
Just as Bai Lixi looked up and was about to say something, he discovered that Xiao Chen had already disappeared from where he was. Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to enter the pillar of light. He could not help but smile and say, "This brat is not too much of a scam."
Naturally, the secret manual that Xiao Chen tossed to Bai Lixi was the second half of the Firmament Body Tempering Art. After observing it for such a long time, Xiao Chen was certain that Bai Lixi was not lying to him.
Since that was the case, there was no need to drag things out. Although Xiao Chen liked to maximize his benefits, he always kept his promises.
"Weng!"
After Xiao Chen entered the ring of light, a desolate world appeared before him. When he looked up, the sky was scarlet with thick red clouds drifting by.
The ground was littered with rocks and weeds. Only some strange plants were sparsely scattered on the ground.
The terrain of the space was extremely complicated. Xiao Chen scanned the surrounding three kilometers with his Spiritual Sense.
Not only did he discover mounds, desolate mountains, stone forests, swamps, but he also discovered a jungle made of strange plants. It was extremely strange.
Xiao Chen took out a map and started to search for his position. The pillar of light on Boulder Island would send the cultivators who entered to the periphery of the Demon Battlefield.
Unless one had some special tools, no one would be able to control where they landed in the Demon Battlefield.
After Xiao Chen put away the map, he finally confirmed his position. Then, he looked around.
Many cultivators gathered in groups of two or three, looking around excitedly.
There were also some experienced cultivators with cautious eyes. They kept their hands on their weapons at all times. Occasionally, a ferocious glint flashed in their eyes as they looked at the cultivators beside them.
"Friend, are you alone? Let's team up. "
Just as Xiao Chen was about to depart, a hearty laughter came from behind him. He turned his head to look.
He turned his head to look and saw a short-haired cultivator in gray robes. He had a squarish face, looked to be in his twenties, and a saber hung at his waist. He was a Superior Grade Martial King. He walked over to Xiao Chen with a smile on his face.
A few cultivators of various cultivations followed behind him. However, they were all Medial Grade Martial Kings at the very least.
The short-haired cultivator introduced himself as if he was very familiar with Xiao Chen. "I am Wei Tong. This is my first time coming to Boulder Island with a few friends. It looks like this is your first time entering the Demon Battlefield as well. How about we accompany each other?"
As he spoke, Wei Tong's gaze quickly swept over Xiao Chen's attire. His gaze lingered on Xiao Chen's shoes and robes for a while.
When Wei Tong saw the black gloves on Xiao Chen's hands, a greedy look flashed in his eyes. However, he hid it very well. His smile remained very sincere.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. When he saw the other party's expression, he said indifferently, "There is no need. I am already used to being alone."
Wei Tong revealed a disappointed expression. He said, "That is a pity. If Brother is interested, you can come and look for us at any time."
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and turned to leave. He withdrew his aura and kept his right hand on his saber hilt, maintaining a high level of vigilance.
After Xiao Chen left, a ferocious look flashed in the eyes of a cultivator behind Wei Tong. He asked suspiciously, "Big Brother, why did you not make a move? He is a fat sheep. Unexpectedly, he has three Secret Treasures on him."
"Indeed, Big Brother. He is just a peak Inferior Grade Martial King. We can deal with him in a few moves. After we kill him, there will be no problems," another person said.
Wei Tong said calmly, "How foolish. I do not know if he is a fat sheep or a ferocious wolf. With your eyes, be careful. You might not be able to eat the sheep. Instead, you might end up being eaten like weeds.
"This person's gaze was calm. His right hand was on his saber hilt. He maintained a distance from me, allowing me to advance or retreat. Based on this, it is clear that this person is extraordinarily vigilant. He is not that easy to kill. "
After saying this, Wei Tong watched Xiao Chen leave. He paused for a while before saying, "The most important thing is that although this person is only an Inferior Grade Martial King, his killing Qi is denser than mine. He is not a kind person. The Secret Treasures on him are probably stained with blood."
