177: The battlefield between immortals and demons is fraught with danger.
"Daozi, you are the most crucial part of the plan. You must call upon your Master; he only needs to act at the critical moment!"
Nian Xuan looked at Ye Ming with a serious expression.
"Understood, I'll go call Master!"
Ye Ming did not hesitate, nodding immediately in agreement. He would go all out, including his "Master"!
After speaking, Ye Ming walked to the side, took out a jade pendant, and began fiddling with it, making sure the act looked convincing.
Meanwhile, Nian Xuan and the others were still discussing all the necessary arrangements.
Before long, Ye Ming walked towards Nian Xuan and nodded at them, indicating that his "Master" had agreed.
"That's great! Then we must not delay; let's set off immediately!"
Nian Xuan's face lit up with joy. With an Immortal helping, they would surely be able to rescue that Yatou!
They walked out of the Main Hall, where a small pagoda had been waiting for a long time.
"Can we leave now?"
The voice of the nine heavens profound pagoda was slightly anxious. Ever since it received news of its Owner just now, it had been unable to settle down.
Nian Xuan also knew it couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly nodded and replied:
"We can go...!"
However, before he could finish speaking, a ray of Immortal Light instantly enveloped them, sucking them all in at once.
Subsequently, the small pagoda shot into the sky, tore open space, and vanished into the air in the blink of an eye.
A few breaths later.
Somewhere unknown in the Sea of Stars.
The calm space was suddenly ripped open by some force, creating a fissure.
A faint light flashed within the abyss-like fissure, followed by a small pagoda flying out of it.
After the small pagoda emerged, the fissure quickly healed, as if nothing had ever happened.
The small pagoda trembled slightly.
A Gateway appeared beside it, and Ye Ming and the others stepped out.
"The Immortal-Demon Battlefield is ahead!" Nian Xuan said with a solemn expression.
Ye Ming followed his gaze and saw a Super Continent quietly suspended in the Sea of Stars.
The continent was surrounded by something resembling a large bubble.
The entire continent was enormous; mountains, forests, and other features were faintly visible from his position.
However, he couldn't clearly see the situation inside for the time being; it seemed some force was blocking his Divine Sense.
Ye Ming was not surprised, only because this Immortal-Demon Battlefield had drifted down from the Immortal Realm.
According to records, this battlefield only appeared fifty thousand years ago after the Heavenly Gate of the Spirit Realm disappeared. At that time, many Cultivators above the Body Integration Stage went there to seek Opportunity.
But less than one-tenth of them returned alive, and most of those who did were severely injured, perishing shortly after returning, leaving only warnings for the world.
The Immortal-Demon Battlefield is Extremely Perilous; even experts as strong as the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate can only barely survive longer!
Since then, few people have ventured into that battlefield. Only those who fear no death and those strong enough to be sure of their return would go there to seek Opportunity.
The Human Emperor visited it the most times, but he never publicized what he experienced, only ordering the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to be listed as a Forbidden Ground!
This was also the only Forbidden Ground in the Spirit Realm... While Ye Ming's mind was filled with thoughts, the small pagoda suddenly erupted with boundless Immortal Light.
"I sensed my Owner! She really is inside!"
The small pagoda's tone was extremely excited. After speaking, it immediately transformed into a ray of Immortal Light and flew towards the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
Ye Ming and the others were also taken along.
Moments later, the small pagoda brought them down to the edge of this battlefield.
"Oh no, there is Law Suppression here! I can't fly anymore!"
The small pagoda exclaimed in surprise.
Nian Xuan and the others' expressions also changed drastically. There was no suppression here before. When did this happen?
"My strength has been suppressed to fifty percent, and I can't use Laws either!"
Nian Xuan carefully sensed the change, and his expression instantly became exceptionally solemn.
Ye Ming frowned subtly. He was also suppressed, now only able to exert the strength of a Sixth-level Loose Immortal.
At this moment, Nian Xuan turned and looked at Ye Ming.
"Daozi, I wonder if your Master..."
He was just about to ask if Ye Ming's "Master" would be affected.
A gentle voice reached their ears, which even the small pagoda heard.
"Minor suppression is not a big problem. Ensuring your safe passage back and forth is still possible, but remember, you must not exceed one month!"
The voice echoed in Nian Xuan and the others' ears, yet no one was visible.
Nian Xuan and the others recognized the seriousness in the voice and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Nian Xuan looked at the small pagoda and asked, "Immortal Spirit, can you sense the Immortal Lord's location?"
"Yes, but the location is quite far. We must set off immediately!" The small pagoda spoke quickly and took the lead, flying forward!
"Let's go!"
Nian Xuan said, no longer hesitating. He followed the small pagoda, gesturing for Ye Ming and the others to catch up.
Due to the suppression, they couldn't fly too high; a hundred meters was their limit, and their speed was also restricted.
Normally, they could cross hundreds of thousands of miles in one step, but now this distance required Several Incense Sticks' Worth of Time of flying, showing how severe the suppression was.
They hadn't flown long when the gentle voice sounded in their ears again.
"Ahead is a group of Quasi-Immortal-rank Vicious Beasts. Bypass them if you can!"
Hearing this, Nian Xuan and the others could only change their direction of flight.
This battlefield, which fell from the Immortal Realm, carries the Laws of the Immortal Realm, so all the creatures here possess strength above the Ninth Rank.
However, they never expected to encounter Quasi-Immortal Beasts right at the edge; previously, they only encountered them deep inside.
Previously, some people had the wild idea of attempting a Breakthrough to Immortal Ascension here, but without exception, they all failed and perished on this battlefield.
Even attempting a Breakthrough to the Undergoing Tribulation Peak would result in being struck by Heavenly Lightning until death... Ye Ming followed quietly the whole way, not speaking, but growing increasingly wary in his heart.
He actually couldn't discern how large this continent was. As far as the eye could see, there was boundless land, interspersed with rivers, large lakes, and so on.
There were even fog-shrouded valleys that he couldn't see through; a Natural Grand Array was blocking his Divine Sense.
It must be a Medium Grade Immortal Array, otherwise, how could it block the Divine Sense of a Sixth-level Loose Immortal like him!
Not only this, but the Vicious Beasts they encountered along the way were also increasing, including Immortal-rank Vicious Beasts.
But Ye Ming sensed them all in advance, making the already long journey even more difficult.
In fact, with his Cultivation, dealing with these Vicious Beasts was easy; he could destroy them effortlessly.
But he had a vague feeling that if he took action, it would draw the attention of certain existences.
Those were things he couldn't handle right now, so he could only make Nian Xuan and the others take detours.
Once he becomes an Earth Immortal, he must properly explore the Wonders of this battlefield!
Next, Ye Ming stopped thinking and closely followed Nian Xuan and the others, occasionally instructing his Primordial Spirit to Transmit Sound.
Yes, he also summoned one Primordial Spirit. The other four were not Cultivating either; they were all in Standby Mode.
If there was any danger, he would summon them all immediately!
Just like that, they flew safely for half a month.
The small pagoda sometimes stopped to Sense the direction, as the suppression made its senses less effective, so it had to ensure the direction was clear.
