605: High risk also means high return.

Spirit Continent, among the Thirteen Continents of the Holy Domain, is a relatively special existence.

It gathers countless Sects, and many Hidden Families that have existed since ancient times are also hidden within it.

The main reason Cultivators from various continents are attracted to Spirit Continent is a very unique place within it.

There are many ancient secrets here, converging into numerous Small Worlds, rumored to be formed after the demise of ancient mighty experts.

There are also many Forbidden Grounds here: Sea of Despair, Dark Abyss, Divine Treasury Demon Ridge, and Guiyuan Secret Realm!

Every Forbidden Ground is extremely perilous. The Sea of Despair is rumored to be impassable even for deities, seemingly hiding astonishing secrets. Countless experts have entered it from ancient times to the present, yet very few have ever emerged alive.

The other Forbidden Grounds are similarly dangerous.

The more perilous a place, the more it attracts Cultivators. Cultivators from various forces most enjoy exploring these ancient remnants.

High risk also implies high reward.

Storm City is built upon an eye of a storm. On a land perpetually shrouded by storms, only Storm City has endured through the ages.

Its tall and thick city walls, a blend of dark red and yellow earth, exude a profound sense of history.

The massive city walls are intricately carved with dense rune marks, each mysterious mark representing the exquisiteness of a Formation.

Above the city is a vast protective shield, isolating the storm outside and preventing any intrusion.

"It is rumored that this city was established by a Venerable Realm expert, built in ancient times, protecting countless lives."

"This Storm City is also a gathering place for Cultivators from all sides. As long as you are here, you don't have to worry about life or death."

Yuan Fei sat at one side of the wine table, smiling as he introduced things to Shen Tianxing.

On the other side sat Shen Qingling, while Shen Tianxing sat between the two, implying that he was the central figure.

The three of them, Shen Tianxing, used a teleportation array from Tianshui City to directly cross continents and arrive at this ancient city.

He had never seen such a massive city before; it was almost boundless at a glance, and the Cultivators coming and going were simply too numerous!

Moreover, it wasn't just the Human Race.

Along the way, they encountered various exotic races.

There were human-headed snake-bodied beings, human-bodied eagle-headed beings, and even eerie Shadow Demons, using shadows as their footholds, deeply hidden within various shadows.

There were also different races like the Yao Race and Vicious Beasts.

Shen Tianxing’s horizons were greatly broadened this time.

However, he did not act like a bumpkin, showing no hint of curiosity towards these sights. Instead, he maintained a calm expression, as if he had long been accustomed to them.

Yuan Fei and Shen Qingling felt that Shen Tianxing was even more mysterious.

Drinking the unique wine of Storm City, Shen Tianxing found it somewhat hard to swallow. He simply took out his own jar of wine and drank it casually.

Yuan Fei's eyes lit up, and he unceremoniously poured some for himself.

Shen Qingling looked at him and said, "Are you here in Spirit Continent for the Ancient Battlefield that is about to open?"

She always spoke so directly, without beating around the bush.

If it were other Cultivators, they would certainly be displeased, but Shen Tianxing didn't find anything wrong with it.

Instead, he found Shen Qingling's personality very straightforward.

"What is so special about the Ancient Battlefield? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Shen Tianxing did not hide anything.

He came to Spirit Continent to meet Li Shentong. So much time had passed; that kid must be living very comfortably now.

Shen Qingling was a little surprised and said, "You don't even know about the Ancient Battlefield?"

"I don't!" Shen Tianxing stated with certainty.

Both were somewhat surprised but did not press for more details.

Yuan Fei, from the side, slowly explained to him, saying, "There is more than one Ancient Battlefield here, but the one about to open this time is the Divine Treasury Demon Ridge, which opens once every hundred thousand years."

"Legend has it that the Divine Treasury Demon Ridge buries ancient great demons, and countless Demonic Path experts perished within it. It was a war of demon extermination initiated by deities!"

"Entering this Ancient Battlefield, one will see countless deities and demons resurrecting from the Ancient Battlefield. Their bodies contain fragments of Heavenly Dao Law! After killing them, one can obtain these Law fragments, which are of immense benefit for our comprehension of the Heavenly Dao."

"However, after these divine and demonic remnants awaken, they are extremely ferocious. Without the strength of the Immortal Realm, it's simply impossible to kill them."

Shen Tianxing listened very carefully.

His understanding of the Holy Domain was still very limited, so he naturally wanted to learn more whenever he had the Opportunity.

Hearing about the divine and demonic remnants reminded him of the divine and demonic incomplete bodies in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, which seemed to be the same kind of thing.

However, the divine and demonic remnants here should be even stronger!

"Are you here for this?" Shen Tianxing asked.

This was not difficult to guess.

Yuan Fei didn't hide it either, nodding readily and saying, "The Divine Treasury Demon Ridge not only contains these Law fragments but also many divine and demonic secret treasures. Over countless years, countless people have died inside, and many have left behind their Legacies and treasures."

"Of course, the most important things are those left by the deities and demons. Some treasures contain wondrous effects, possessing immense destructive power against current Cultivators!"

"If there's an Opportunity, naturally one must contend for some."

Indeed, the routines in Secret Realms are all quite similar.

Shen Tianxing was quite knowledgeable in this area.

Moreover, he also liked these treasure-hunting places where there were no rules to speak of; all treasures were not obtained by the fated, but by those who could seize them!

Shen Tianxing became increasingly interested.

"Listening to you, this Ancient Battlefield seems very interesting. How much longer until it opens? Are there any restrictions?"

He was already an expert in the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm.

Many Ancient Battlefields, Forbidden Grounds, and the like imposed significant restrictions on Cultivators' strength; those exceeding a certain Rank could not enter.

It seemed this was a rule set by the Heavenly Dao.

With his strength, Shen Tianxing was more likely to be targeted.

He had seen such things too many times.

"No restrictions!"

Shen Qingling took over, saying, "No matter what Rank of Cultivator, all can enter. The Ancient Battlefield is vast and has its own special Laws, seemingly a truly existing world. Cultivators of different strengths encounter divine and demonic remnants of different Ranks."

"Moreover, the stronger the Cultivator who enters, the higher the probability of death!"

Oh?

Shen Tianxing was a little surprised.

Is it that magical?

It seems that entering with his Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm strength would instead grant him more special 'care'?

He was somewhat curious whether this so-called divine and demonic battlefield was truly that mysterious.

Do so-called deities and demons truly exist?

Seeing Shen Tianxing remain silent, Yuan Fei, who was beside him, thought he was stunned and couldn't help but comfort him, "Brother Shen, don't worry. As long as you enter the Ancient Battlefield, there will always be some Opportunities."

"Although the stronger one's strength, the greater the crisis encountered, the greater the Opportunity within is naturally as well."

These words sounded like they were meant to comfort Shen Tianxing.

However, Yuan Fei didn't know that Shen Tianxing wasn't worried at all.

What he was thinking about now was, how many experts would this Ancient Battlefield attract?

Would there be Cultivators in the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm?

He now desperately needed such opponents!
