Two Realms Pass, Shenwu Defense Zone.
As the largest combat area between the Human and Demon Clans, this defense zone at the Two Realms Pass is adorned with nurous battle flags.
Lu Jin’an, accompanied by Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue on his sides, led Jiang Wuya and others through multiple checkpoints to the combat zone.
The Two Realms Pass stretches for tens of thousands of miles, with the front line and rear divided into combat and preparation zones.
Most cultivators in the combat zone are battle-hardened veterans ready to fight at any ti, while the preparation zone is used for training.
To this day, the Human Clan has set high standards for the cultivators in the combat zone, to the extent that those in the preparation zone aren’t even qualified to enter the combat zone without achieving a certain level, unless all combat zone cultivators are wiped out.
Climbing over the mountain peak and looking down, the clouds and mist hang between the mountains like black clouds pressing down on a city, yet they cannot veil the turbulent undercurrent beneath.
Two Realms Pass is the primary battlefield between the Human and Demon Clans. Without the heroic spirits of the forebears and the various thods of support from the Immortals, this area would surely beco a dangerous forbidden land, filled with chaotic storms.
"If this weren’t a frontier fortress, it would surely be the number one peak in the world, majestic and unparalleled."
Zhu Nanzhi glanced down at the mist-covered mountains, a glint of awe flashing in her eyes.
The Two Realms Pass is not only magnificent but would also certainly be the dream site of countless sects.
The nature’s spiritual energy here surpasses all Great Domains. Presumably, the ancestors of the Human Clan built the Two Realms Pass here for this reason.
Lu Jin’an humd in agreent: "Even so, many cultivators still co here annually to perform missions."
"Are there tasks like joining the army?" Zhu Nanzhi asked, a bit curious.
"There are, but they’re rare," Lu Jin’an knew it was Zhu Nanzhi’s first ti here and understood she wasn’t aware of this seldom publicized information, so he explained patiently while walking: "Once drafted into the military formation, one must serve for at least three years, so most tasks that cultivators perform here are reconnaissance or demon hunting."
He pointed to a military camp below: "The soldiers here at the Two Realms Pass are cultivators whose talents have reached their limits. They spend their entire lives at this pass, not engaging in any other profession.
Apart from the preparation zone, the rear also has residential areas, where arrangents are made for the soldiers’ parents, wives, and children to assist with logistics."
Lu Jin’an softly explained: "Their children usually beco soldiers or logistics personnel, but if any child has outstanding cultivation talent, they are sent to a sect or academy for training to beco even more remarkable cultivators."
Zhu Nanzhi understood that everyone living at the Two Realms Pass was born to resist the Demon Clan.
"Refining the Mountain and Fixing the Realm," Lu Jin’an pointed to the east and west sides of the Two Realms Pass: "The Two Realms Pass now counts as a top-tier Immortal Artifact, a Human Clan Immortal Artifact containing the Great Dao of ’Worldly Responsibility.’
Enhanced by generations of Immortals, this artifact isolates the Eastern and Western Great Realms with the Central Region as its focus. At the ends of the Immortal Artifact lies the chaotic flow of shattered void, said to cut through the Emperor Body of a Demon Emperor, which is one reason the Demon Clan cannot bypass the Two Realms Pass."
Zhu Nanzhi knew of this saying, but she still listened earnestly to Lu Jin’an’s explanation.
Walking and chatting all the way, a curve like a colossal crouching dragon ca into everyone’s view.
That is the wall of the Two Realms Pass, and also the first line of defense.
This long wall stretches for tens of thousands of miles and belongs to the combat zone.
Near the wall, one can feel the battle intent piercing the sky, a kind of military formation that keeps soldiers in a constant state of combat readiness.
This is the Shenwu Defense Zone, and in a sense, everyone in this defense zone belongs to the Wandao Sect.
Upon reaching the wall, the taunting voices of the Demon Clan could be heard from afar.
"Is the Saint Heir of your Wandao Sect hiding like a turtle in its shell?"
"Weren’t they killed under so woman’s belly?"
"Not daring to save others, what kind of Saint Heir is that? Aren’t you afraid you’ll pee your pants?"
The Demon’s mocking and insults were clearly inferior to those of the Humans, and Lu Jin’an didn’t even glance at them.
"Greetings, Saint Heir."
A squad leader clad in armor bowed briefly on the wall and succinctly added: "The Demons have been clamoring for a while that you are afraid to die, not daring to go beyond the pass to save people, and they’re still doing it now."
He gestured a hundred miles away to a stage built by the Demon Clan.
The life and death battle stage, another form of combat between Humans and Demons.
This stage had been standing for a month, with wins and losses on both sides.
"Where are the Lin Yuan Sword Sect people?" Lu Jin’an asked calmly, ignoring the distant taunts.
"The Sword Cultivators of the Lin Yuan Sword Sect have been trying to rescue people but have not succeeded yet."
"Has Qi Xingyu arrived?"
"The Young Sect Master has not yet arrived."
Lu Jin’an frowned, the Lin Yuan Sword Sect couldn’t have not made a decision for so long unless... they didn’t want to rescue them.
So they suspect there are traitors among those captured?
As Lu Jin’an pondered and was about to inquire further, he suddenly spotted a figure leaping over the wall from the corner of his eyes, transforming into a streak of azure flowing light racing forward.
Zhu Nanzhi.
She couldn’t stand the Demon Clan’s insults toward her husband any longer.
Of course, her direct charge also served another purpose: establishing authority.
To establish the prestige of the Holy Daughter of Qingmiao Palace.
Watching this scene, although not worried, Lu Jin’an was the first to jump over the wall as well.
Rumble!
Just as he caught up, the once-clear sky suddenly turned gloomy as thunder rumbled like the heavens.
