Chapter 256: Steps to the Celestial Ascent Realm

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:02:52
    Elemental soul realm cultivators have a special passage from Daoxiu realm to Feixing realm.

    Ding Huan, Hu Wuxin, and Mo Zheng are the ones who entered the realm of ascension through the special passage.

    Upon arriving at the realm of ascension, Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng did not feel anything special. They had been here before.

    But Ding Huan immediately realized that the realm of ascension was not only more abundant in cosmic energy, but also had more refined rules compared to the Daoxiu realm.

    This made Ding Huan feel puzzled. Ordinary grand arrays can only block the territorial connection between the Daoxiu realm and the realm of ascension, absolutely not capable of obstructing the laws of heaven and earth, causing differences in the rules.

    "Hu Master..."

    Ding Huan wanted to ask Hu Wuxin something. Hu Wuxin laughed and said:

    "Ding Huan, I won't call you Master anymore. Since we've arrived in the realm of ascension, we can consider ourselves as a team. Here, our cultivation levels are all at the grassroots level, so let's just call everyone by their names to avoid being formal."

    Mo Zheng immediately agreed: "Yes, I agree with Hu Xin's suggestion."

    Ding Huan didn't mind either and spoke again:

    "Old Hu, I want to ask, who set up this barrier between the Daoxiu realm and the realm of ascension?"

    Hu Wuxin didn't expect Ding Huan to create an old 'Hu', wondering if he was very old.

    But 'old Hu' is fine, it sounds more approachable than 'alliance leader'.

    Ding Huan now asked about the affairs of the protecting array, and he actually knew some things:

    "No, this barrier array seems to have appeared when humans appeared on the landmasses of the Third Heaven Star Continent. It has been there ever since."

    "Whenever the blockage array between the human realm and the Daoxiu realm appears to be arranged by later generations. Who arranged this, I'm not too clear."

    Ding Huan understood a bit more.

    Apart from the significant difference in spiritual energy, the changes in the laws of heaven and earth between the human realm and the Daoxiu realm seem to be relatively small.

    Since Hu Wuxin said that the array pattern barrier was arranged by humans, it also makes sense.

    After all, on the landmasses of the Third Heaven Star Continent, no one can change the laws of heaven and earth.

    After explaining the barrier array between the two realms, Hu Wuxin pointed in the direction of the opening battlefield.

    "It's about ten days' journey from here to the opening battlefield. We can reach the City of Ten Thousand Treasures in ten days, prepare for a few days there, and then prepare to enter the opening battlefield."

    Hu Wuxin was preparing to explain the dangers and opportunities of the Opening Heaven Battlefield in detail to Ding Huan, so that they would have a foundation if they formed a team.

    Mo Zheng was saying something on the side:

    "Ding Huan, your backpack is quite noticeable. I'm afraid that someone might take the opportunity to check your backpack when we arrive at the City of Ten Thousand Treasures."

    Ding Huan had been worried about this very issue all along.

    Although most people wouldn't check someone else's backpack, it's not impossible to encounter someone like Shi Qiuci, who pretends to be upright and moral, and they might take the opportunity to look inside his backpack.

    Hu Wuxin nodded:

    "Indeed, there is a possibility of that. There are many oddballs in the realm of ascension. They come from major sects and look down on cultivators from our Daoxiu realm."

    Hu Wuxin spoke diplomatically, what is the look down.

    In the eyes of cultivators in the realm of ascension, cultivators from the Daoxiu realm are not even considered ants. Their status is probably lower than that of a pet belonging to someone else.

    Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said:

    "I'm a pretty cautious person because once I entered a secret realm. In the realm, mental energy couldn't be used, and I almost perished there."

    So this time, entering the Opening Heaven Battlefield, I've taken out some precautions, and I've put some ordinary resources inside my backpack."

    Ding Huan's excuse is somewhat problematic. Even if cultivators can't use mental energy, as long as they have their divine weapons nearby, it's not a problem.

    After all, most cultivators can survive for a long time without food and water.

    But Hu Wuxin's eyes lit up. How could he not think of it? This is going to the Opening Heaven Battlefield; not being able to use mental energy is perfectly normal.

    It's better that mental energy can't be used, otherwise, if there is no spiritual energy somewhere, it could be quite problematic.

    In the Opening Heaven Battlefield, anything can happen. Not having spiritual energy is quite normal.

    Cultivators, even those who have reached the realm of hollow divinity, still need to replenish their energy.

    Humans supplement with food, while cultivators supplement with spiritual energy.

    Once spiritual energy is depleted, even though cultivators can endure longer than humans, they will eventually need food and water after a long period of time.

    "Ding Huan, your idea is very good. I think we should also get a backpack."

    Hu Wuxin immediately agreed with Ding Huan's foresight.

    "Once we arrive at the City of Ten Thousand Treasures, I'll go and buy a backpack." Not only Hu Wuxin, but also Mo Zheng nodded in agreement, this is definitely a good idea.

    Ding Huan casually took out two backpacks from his storage ring and handed them to the two of them:

    "Ha ha, I have plenty of these things. Let me give them to you two."

    "It's actually a spiritual artifact! Ha ha..." Hu Wuxin laughed heartily.

    He quickly put the backpack on his back and threw in some everyday items.

    Mo Zheng followed suit.

    Ding Huan nodded silently in his heart, he had made two friends.

    Whether it be Hu Wuxin or Mo Zheng, they wouldn't need to carry the backpacks right now. They could simply take them out and wear them before entering the Opening Heaven Battlefield.

    Two people carrying backpacks on their backs are actually helping Ding Huan's intention.

    Clearly, both Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng felt that Ding Huan's reason for carrying a backpack would never be as he said.

    It takes at least one or two months for an ordinary cultivator to travel from the entrance of the realm of ascension to the City of Ten Thousand Treasures.

    There are no teleportation arrays, so most people can only rely on flying.

    Hu Wuxin said it would take only ten days because he had a top-grade flight artifact called the "Double-wing Boat".

    This was originally an exquisite flying spiritual artifact, but later, the owner of the boat added two wings to it, and these wings were also top-grade spiritual artifacts.

    It's just a small change, but the speed of the Double-wing Boat has increased by a whole level.

    Feeling the speed of the Double-wing Boat, Ding Huan reflected in his heart. He had just obtained a top-grade spiritual artifact flight artifact, called Aurora Shuttle, from Lu Yuan's ring.

    Now seeing Hu Wuxin's Double-wing Boat, Ding Huan felt that artifacts indeed have no end; there is only better and no best.

    "Old Hu, you should be more familiar with the Opening Heaven Battlefield, right?"

    Ding Huan, who was free, decided to ask Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng about some information regarding the Opening Heaven Battlefield.

    For Ding Huan, seeking treasures in the Opening Heaven Battlefield is secondary; the most important thing for him is to find the Starlight Vein.

    Without Starlight Vein, he would have difficulty reaching a higher level.

    According to Ding Huan's plan, once he cultivates his medium-grade Starlight Vein, he would go to the boundless starry sky to seek opportunities.

    Since Hu Wuxin told him about the Starlight Vein in the Opening Heaven Battlefield and since the sect of Lanxing also needs a cultivator of hollow divinity to go to the Opening Heaven Battlefield, he might as well make a trip there.

    He's not a hollow divinity cultivator, only he knows that. To others, Ding Huan is a cultivator of the hollow divinity realm.

    Hu Wuxin's face grew serious:

    "Ding Huan, Mo Zheng and I invited you along because the Opening Heaven Battlefield is extremely dangerous. As cultivators of the hollow divinity realm from the Daoxiu realm, we have to go there anyway."

    "I believe you've made the worst-case scenario. As far as I know, there have been many people who entered the Opening Heaven Battlefield even before it was fully opened. Even more were earthly beings."

    However, so far, no one has been able to come out alive.

    After the Opening Heaven Battlefield opened, thousands of people have entered it, and the results are equally harsh; no one has come out alive so far.

    Ding Huan took a cold breath, so dangerous.

    Mo Zheng sighed:

    "You guess why the realm of ascension would establish a way station between the Daoxiu realm and the realm of ascension?"

    That's because many people in the realm of ascension are unwilling to enter the Opening Heaven Battlefield anymore, mainly because the chances of death in the battle are too terrifying.

    So they set their sights on the Daoxiu realm, almost with an intention of coercion, forcing everyone to enter the Opening Heaven Battlefield."

    Ding Huan remained silent.

    Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng also lost the desire to chat, both feeling a bit depressed.

    After several minutes, Ding Huan finally took out the ascension card and the wristband and placed them on the table.

    Mo Zheng and Hu Wuxin looked at Ding Huan in amazement, not quite understanding what Ding Huan meant.

    Ding Huan spoke slowly:

    "The ascension card contains teleportation array patterns, and the wristband contains restrictions of monitoring array patterns and binding array patterns..."

    "What?" Hearing Ding Huan's words, Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng quickly took out their own ascension cards and wristbands.

    Their expressions were quite unpleasant. The wristbands had binding restrictions and monitoring restrictions, which meant what, they were too well aware.

    "But I've checked carefully, and there's nothing wrong with it; it only has a relatively complex directional guidance and positioning restriction."

    Ding Huan pointed to the wristbands and ascension cards and said:

    "These array patterns will not trigger now, but once we enter the Opening Heaven Battlefield, these array patterns will automatically trigger, and then we will be under the monitoring of these array patterns."

    "Very cruel," Hu Wuxin's eyes showed a hint of resentment.

    He is experienced and often plots against others.

    He never expected that the realm of ascension would force them to go to the Opening Heaven Battlefield, which was fine. But it would also calculate them on the wristbands. Is there anything more shameless than this?

    "What should we do?" Mo Zheng looked at Ding Huan.

    Ding Huan smiled and said:

    "If we don't know, there's nothing we can do, but since we know, there are plenty of ways."

    Once we enter the Opening Heaven Battlefield, we can create a crisis. In fact, there are plenty of crises already in the Opening Heaven Battlefield..."

    "What are you saying?" Hu Wuxin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand Ding Huan's meaning now.

    "It's the same meaning. We should leave nothing behind when we enter the battlefield, not even clothes, and we should also throw away our backpacks..."

    Ding Huan nodded and said that he would not be throwing away his own backpack.

    He mentioned it now instead of waiting until they entered the Opening Heaven Battlefield, because he was worried that the wristband would have started monitoring by then.

    Once that happens, it will be inconvenient to do anything.

    "All right, when we three enter the Opening Heaven Battlefield, we'll follow your lead." Hu Wuxin made the decision immediately.

    He felt that choosing to team up with Ding Huan was incredibly wise.

    Before entering the Opening Heaven Battlefield, Ding Huan discovered the most important problem.

    Both he and Mo Zheng have had the ascension card and wristband for a year, and they haven't found anything wrong. It's surprising that Ding Huan discovered it so quickly.

    Fortunately, the rest of his ascension cards and wristbands are placed in the Daoxiu realm's Alliance, which can be applied for by any cultivators of the hollow divinity realm.
