Many people didn’t manage to last until the tenth year and died on the Ancient Battlefield.
So people, even if they returned, were either severely injured or crippled. Others who were a bit luckier ca back only to suffer from severe ntal disorders shortly after, rendering them unable to cultivate normally again.
The people who returned unscathed and could live as before were few and far between.
For Hua Wanyun, being a woman, it was even more comndable.
Yet, unexpectedly, Hua Wanyun proposed to head to the Ancient Battlefield once more at this mont.
"Sect Leader, I have already made up my mind. It’s not just Zhao Tianlang... and him... alive, I want to see them; dead, I need their bodies. I’ve been waiting for many years, and this ti, I want to bring them all back, even if it takes ten, twenty years, or a lifeti." Hua Wanyun had no hesitation.
A hairpin in her hair shone brightly.
The last ti she entered the Ancient Battlefield, though she ca out smoothly, it was at the cost of her most beloved one’s life.
For all these years, she often dread of her lover’s face.
His face was full of blood, pushing her out from the demon beast horde.
"Wanyun, go, never return, leave the Ancient Battlefield."
Her hairpin was also damaged on the battlefield, stained with blood, losing its forr brightness.
It was as if her fighting spirit was entirely worn away by the Ancient Battlefield.
Returning to Lonely Moon Sea, although her brother and the people of Hua Feng never dared to ntion the past in her presence,
Hua Wanyun found herself awakened by nightmares countless tis.
Until she t Ye Lingyue, what she thought was a Spiritual Artifact never to be repaired, was restored to its original state.
Only then did Hua Wanyun realize that she had never moved on from the nightmare of those years; she wanted to find her lover’s remains.
The incident involving Zhao Tianlang further triggered Hua Wanyun’s determination to return to the Ancient Battlefield, as Zhao Tianlang was also the Hua Feng disciple she valued most.
As long as there was a slight chance of his survival, both Hua Wanyun and Elder Hua would not give up.
"Since you’re resolved, it’s not for to stop you. This is good as well. There are many participants heading into the Ancient Battlefield this ti, and with you and Mu Bai there, I’m much more at ease."
Seeing today’s Hua Wanyun, Sect Leader Wuya couldn’t help but show a comforting smile; she seed to have returned to her state of sixteen years ago, when she first entered the Ancient Battlefield.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for granting this."
Hua Wanyun hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude.
Upon hearing that Hua Wanyun was also going, Yue Mubai’s expression didn’t look so good.
"It’s getting late, to make it in ti for the entrance hours, you should set out. I hope to hear good news from you soon."
Sect Leader Wuya finally said as his farewell.
Ye Lingyue was sowhat absent-minded, subconsciously glancing toward the direction of the mountain gate.
On the long stone steps, there was no sign of people.
Master Zi truly didn’t co to see her off.
Even though she had figured it out, knowing her expressionless master wouldn’t co, she still felt a little disappointed.
Once Hua Wanyun arrived, everyone was accounted for, and at the mountain gate, a Big Formation emitted Spiritual Light.
Everyone entered the array one by one, and soon they disappeared without a trace.
Sect Leader Wuya was just about to turn back when he heard an eagle’s cry in the sky. Looking up, he saw a black dot high above.
On the black dot stood a person, indeed Zitang Su.
"Could it be, the Lord ca to see them off?"
Sect Leader Wuya was surprised, just puzzled that if he ca to see them off, why not co down?
Ah, never mind, the thoughts of such a great person as the Lord are not sothing a re disciple could fathom.
Sect Leader Wuya shook his head and led a group of elders into the Lonely Moon Sea.
Zitang Su stood in mid-air, watching the transmission array gradually lose its brightness, feeling a certain emptiness in his heart.
Inside the transmission array, Ye Lingyue and the others felt both anxious and excited.
Soon, they would enter the Ancient Battlefield.
A flash of radiance passed.
As Ye Lingyue stepped out from the transmission array, an endless stretch of ancient city walls appeared before her eyes.
The city walls stood in a desolate wasteland, like a giant dragon crouching on the ground, and from a distance, it seed to have no end.
"This area is called the Ancient Pass. There is no ntion of it on the mainland’s maps; it can only be reached by special transmission arrays. To leave here, special arrays are the only way, drawn only by Sect Leader-level figures among the Three Sects of the Qing Province Continent."
As they say, "an elder is a treasure at ho", Hua Wanyun’s presence in the team was undoubtedly beneficial for Ye Lingyue and the others.
Once at the Ancient Pass, Hua Wanyun began to explain.
The Ancient Pass was also known as the Ancient City Gate. Ye Lingyue and most of the disciples noticed there were multiple city gates here, each with guards standing by.
The guards, one glance was enough for Ye Lingyue and the others to be shocked.
These people were actually Reincarnation Fifth and Sixth Paths powerhouses, and their strength surpassed those of the top ten disciples who had gone through rigorous selection.
According to Hua Wanyun, crossing the Ancient Pass leads to the Ancient Battlefield’s suburbs.
"Suburbs? Is the Ancient Battlefield not just a battlefield?"
Ye Lingyue and the others were puzzled after hearing this.
"You think simply. Although you passed the Lonely Moon Sea’s assessnt, you are not directly entering the battlefield. The term ’Ancient Battlefield’ is a re colloquialism; it is not what you imagine."
Saying this, Hua Wanyun approached an ancient city gate.
Before the bulletin board, everyone saw a map.
The map was nad Ancient Nine Provinces.
It turned out that the Ancient Battlefield referred broadly to the Ancient Nine Provinces.
Unlike the Qing Province Continent where Ye Lingyue and others were from, Qing Province Continent is actually one of the New Nine States, with living conditions far better than Ancient Nine Provinces.
When the original inhabitants of Ancient Nine Provinces discovered the New Nine States, they gradually moved to the New Continent, leaving the original Ancient Continent desolate.
Due to the scarcity of the Human Clan, various Spiritual Beasts, demon beasts, and even flora, stone spirits, and so Ancient Tis demons thrived in large numbers, making the Ancient Nine Provinces perilous.
To prevent the demon beasts and demons of the Ancient Nine Provinces from entering the New Continent, the Great Sects of the New Nine States and the Great Powers in the secular world built a continuous ancient city wall equipped with nurous prohibitions.
They also agreed that every Super Sect of each continent must send Reincarnation Realm disciples into the Ancient Nine Provinces to hunt demons.
On one hand, hunting demons prevents the demons from attacking the ancient city wall and invading the New Nine States, while on the other hand, it serves to enhance the cultivation of the sect disciples, fostering vigilance in peace.
"This is the origin of the Ancient Nine Provinces. As for the specific scope of the Ancient Nine Provinces, it’s also on the map. Everyone, co and have a look." Hua Wanyun pointed to the map, and everyone crowded around to take a look.
