Lu Ye stared fixedly at the back of his hand, taking a long time to come back to his senses.
Recalling everything that had happened, the thing on the back of his hand was undoubtedly related to the large seal the sect leader had used to stamp him.
He didnât know what it was, but there were too many things in this world he didnât understand. The unknown was not scary; he could only face it calmly now.
However, the good news was that he had confirmed his location; he was indeed in the Lingxi Battlefield.
Just looking at the prefix of this battlefield, Lu Ye felt a sense of unease. If he wasnât mistaken, this was a battlefield that only those who had reached the Lingxi Realm were qualified to enter.
He, a mere cultivator who had only opened three orifices, was undoubtedly in great danger in this unfamiliar place. Just now, he had only encountered a pack of wolves; what if he encountered a group of cultivators?
Since it was a battlefield, there were definitely cultivators here!
As for the two sides fighting in this battlefield, it was undoubtedly the Haotian Alliance and the Wanmo Ridge.
He understood the sect leaderâs intention in sending him here. At that time, the sect leader couldnât fight with him around; if they had forced a confrontation, he, a small cultivator, would have had a bad end. The sect leader sending him here was out of sheer helplessness, trying to find a way out for him in a desperate situation.
The sect leader seemed to have also stuffed something into his arms before he left.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye hurriedly checked.
He quickly found a storage bag. He opened it and took out a few bottles, some stacks of talisman-like items, a few sets of clothes, and then a jade slip.
He examined each item one by one.
The bottles contained only two types of spirit pills: one was the Qi Blood Pill, and the other was the Spirit Nourishing Pill. There were more Spirit Nourishing Pills, with two bottles containing about twenty each. The Qi Blood Pills were fewer, with only one bottle containing less than ten.
As for the talismans, he had never seen them before, but he could vaguely guess what they were.
Sure enough, upon inspection, they turned out to be spirit talismans.
Among the outer disciples, there were those skilled in drawing talismans. Spirit talismans could assist cultivators in battle or cultivation, but Lu Ye had never had access to them before, so he had never seen them.
The storage bag contained a variety of spirit talismans, including defensive Vajra Talismans, offensive Fire Snake Talismans, and auxiliary Concealment Talismans and Shadow Folding Talismans. Each talisman was clearly labeled with its purpose, and there were more than thirty in total.
Looking at these items, a warm feeling welled up in Lu Yeâs heart.
There was no doubt that these items were specifically prepared for him by the sect leader. Whether it was the spirit pills or the spirit talismans, they were all suitable for a cultivator of Lu Yeâs level, and the sect leader had no use for them.
As for the clothes, they were clearly suitable for a young man.
Recalling the days the sect leader disappeared on the flying dragon ship, Lu Ye understood that the sect leader must have collected these items suitable for him from other disciples of other sects during those days.
Perhaps the sect leader had planned to give them to him after returning to Aoshan, but they encountered that incident halfway, so he gave them to him in advance.
For a beginner cultivator, these items were undoubtedly a huge wealth. Even without considering the bottles of spirit pills, the spirit talismans alone were quite valuable.
He had found no spirit talismans in the storage bags of Manager Yang and Zhou Cheng, indicating that spirit talismans were very precious. Yet, the sect leader had collected more than thirty, of various types.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ye put the items away and picked up the jade slip.
If he guessed correctly, this jade slip was the one the sect leader had taken out while fleeing. At that time, the sect leader had asked if he had heard of the Lingxi Battlefield. Lu Ye had replied that he hadnât, so the sect leader had taken out a jade slip and pressed it to his forehead.
This jade slip might contain some information the sect leader wanted to leave for him. At the time, the situation was urgent, and the sect leader didnât have time to explain, so he had to convey the information this way.
Lu Ye channeled his spiritual energy into the jade slip, but nothing happened, which puzzled him.
After some thought, he imitated the sect leader, pressing the jade slip to his forehead and channeling his spiritual energy again.
This time, a lot of information flooded his mind, making him momentarily dazed.
After a moment, he put down the jade slip, his expression complex.
The jade slip indeed contained some information left by the sect leader, specifically about the Lingxi Battlefield.
The world of Jiuzhou was composed of nine major continents, but the Jiuzhou world was not limited to these nine continents. Besides these nine continents, there were other spaces.
The Lingxi Battlefield was one of them.
No one knew where the Lingxi Battlefield was located in the Jiuzhou world. Once, a Divine Sea Realm cultivator tried to explore this secret, but over countless years, no one had found any useful clues, and the matter was eventually dropped.
The conflict between the Haotian Alliance and the Wanmo Ridge was not limited to the Jiuzhou world; the most intense battles took place in these spatial battlefields.
To enter the Lingxi Battlefield, one had to use the Heavenly Opportunity Pillar, which was the crystal pillar Lu Ye had seen before. Each sect had one, and even if a sect was destroyed, it would be preserved. Over countless years, countless sects in the Jiuzhou world had been destroyed, so the Heavenly Opportunity Pillars scattered in the wild were as numerous as stars.
After entering the Lingxi Battlefield through their sectâs Heavenly Opportunity Pillar, cultivators would appear in a fixed territory. This territory was usually developed into the sectâs base in the battlefield, with powerful cultivators stationed there year-round to prevent ambushes.
However, if a cultivator entered the battlefield without using their sectâs Heavenly Opportunity Pillar, they would appear randomly somewhere in the battlefield.
Therefore, cultivators generally entered the battlefield through their sectâs Heavenly Opportunity Pillar and rarely used those of other sects unless they were recognized by that sect and marked with a specific seal, allowing them to appear in that sectâs base.
The situation Lu Ye and the sect leader faced at the time left the sect leader with no choice. Even though sending Lu Ye to the Lingxi Battlefield was a risky move, they had to take the chance.
After examining the information in the jade slip, Lu Ye understood his situation.
He was now somewhere in the Lingxi Battlefield, but he didnât know exactly where, as the entire Lingxi Battlefield was extremely vast, covering an entire continent.
The thing he couldnât see on the back of his hand was the battlefield mark. Every cultivator who entered the battlefield had one, recording their origin, cultivation level, and merit.
This mark was also related to his way out.
His battlefield mark was stamped by the sect leader using the Bixue Sectâs seal. Therefore, this mark had a connection with the Heavenly Opportunity Pillar at the Bixue Sectâs base. By following this connection, Lu Ye could reach the Bixue Sectâs base in the Lingxi Battlefield, and from there, he could return to the Bixue Sect!
