“It is said that King Luo stumbled upon an ancient scripture in the Boundless Battlefield by chance, which propelled him to become the Immortal King and attain his Dao Fruit. Although King Luo was gifted before this, he was far from reaching the Immortal King Realm. At best, he had only gained recognition within a small Star Territory. With the aid of the ancient scripture he acquired from the Boundless Battlefield, he ascended to new heights and became an Immortal King, overlooking countless beings. Naturally, such tales remain mere whispers from across the world. We have no way of verifying them… Nevertheless, the Boundless Battlefield teems with boundless opportunities. Should one be fortunate enough to seize one of them, it would be life-changing and even allow them to be the master of their own destiny.”
On the main street outside the ancient city, a group of cultivators were making their way towards the city gates. Amongst them were both men and women who seemed to be in their twenties, based on their youthful appearances. Their eyes shimmered with divine brilliance, while their aura exuded an air of tranquillity. The person who spoke earlier was dressed like an Elder. He was graciously introducing the area as he led the group into the city.
Upon hearing this, the hearts of nearly all the young men and women brimmed with anticipation and their eyes were full of longing. It appeared as though countless opportunities lay beyond the ancient city before them, promising a transformative journey that could alter their destinies.
They were all disciples hailing from a certain Force in one of the universes within the Immortal Domain. With the existence of a True Immortal Ancestor in their Sect, they held an undisputed reign over the surrounding Forces.
All of them had come to the Boundless Ancient City to gain experience. Not only was this place teeming with opportunities, but it also had perils. The Boundless Battlefield was filled with many powerful beasts that were corrupted by the evil energy. Fighting them could hasten the growth of these cultivators.
Today’s Immortal Domain was a great place for cultivation. Everyone fought to compete for their own fate, hoping to gain enlightenment. For ordinary people, the general situation of the Immortal Domain had little to do with them.
Among the group of young men and women, one man said in a hushed tone with gleaming eyes, “Wasn’t King Luo just like us back then? He had only gotten to this point because he found his priceless opportunity in the Boundless Battlefield. Apart from King Luo, the other Immortal Kings also obtained legacies of their predecessors in the Boundless Battlefield. While it may be perilous here, it also presents an opportunity for all of us.”
When the others heard him, a wave of exhilaration washed over them. It was as though they could already envision themselves becoming an Immortal King. Their anticipation and excitement soared to new heights once again.
“By then, I might stand a chance to marry Junior Sister…” A young man whispered to himself, his emotions running high as he decided to regard this aspiration as his ultimate objective.
His Junior Sister, Luo Yanxi, was an ethereal beauty. Adorned in a gentle hue of pale green, her dress complemented her simple yet captivating makeup. With her hair flowing like wisps of clouds, she possessed an otherworldly allure akin to a pristine orchid.
At this moment, she was silently trailing behind the group. As a woman of very few words, she exuded an air of aloofness. Even so, that did not stop many young disciples from stealing glances at her.
Being the most gifted individual within the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect, many Elders held great expectations for her. Even the Ancestors in the True Immortal Realm personally bestowed their wisdom upon her, with the intention of taking her as their disciple once she became a True Daoist.
In the present Immortal Domain, even the descendants of the Immortal Families may not possess the same level of talent as her. It took her a mere few hundred years to reach the Quasi Nivana Realm after joining the Sect. making her almost a True Daoist, breaking the record for the swiftest advancement in the long history of the Immortal Domain.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was very likely to become an Immortal King in the future, the person who would lead the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect to unparalleled glory and Immortality for countless epochs.
The Elder stroked his beard with a smile on his face, pleased to find that the group he was leading was now highly motivated. He then guided the group to the city gate, so they could be checked by the guards before entering the ancient city.
This ancient city stood as the sole gateway to access the Boundless Battlefield. Similarly, those seeking to reach the Immortal Domain from the Boundless Battlefield had to pass through this city.
Undoubtedly, this location held immeasurable importance as a crucial passage. With steadfast vigilance, not even the most formidable Immortal King could pass through easily.
The ancient street was wide enough to accommodate even the giants from ancient times. The temple buildings on both sides were also extremely tall and majestic, like towering giants overlooking everything in their presence. In the face of these grand structures, ordinary people appeared minuscule. It was hard to fathom how they were built in the first place.
A thin fog hung in the air along the ancient street, where cultivators could be seen moving about. However, the atmosphere lacked liveliness as most people were hurrying by.
Evidence of decay could be spotted in some areas, their existence shrouded in mystery. Numerous cracks marred the ground, bearing witness to the passage of time. The remnants of the star were scattered in every direction, serving as poignant reminders of past battles on this very land.
From the shocked expressions on the faces of the disciples of the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect, it was clear that this was their first time arriving in this ancient city.
The city’s vendors displayed a variety of rare Immortal Materials, which captivated the onlookers with their ethereal glow. However, the exorbitant price tags on each piece left them astounded.
Deep within the heart of this city, there were rumours it was teeming with numerous Immortals Kings. Apart from that, there were also many True Immortals here. As a result, no one dared to disrupt the harmony or defy the established rules of this place.
“A few days ago, someone appeared to have witnessed Queen Lunar’s arrival with a group of experts. It seems like they had ventured deep into the Boundless Battlefield.”
“I heard rumours that on the far side of the Boundless Battlefield, a brilliant red glow illuminates the sky, casting its radiance for hundreds of thousands of kilometres. This spectacle has attracted the attention of countless True Immortals, who have rushed over to witness it first-hand. Could it be that this event is somehow connected to Queen Lunar’s arrival?”
The disciples of Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect were browsing the shattered weapons displayed on the vendor stalls when their curiosity was piqued by a hushed conversation among nearby cultivators. The Elder who was leading them also halted in his tracks, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect had sent many disciples to this location because they accidentally learned about the phenomenon that had occurred in the Boundless Battlefield, possibly hinting at the appearance of a supreme treasure. This occurrence attracted a large number of people, prompting the Sect to also test their luck and also give their younger generation a chance to gain experience while they were at it.
“I never expected Queen Lunar herself to be here in person. Something extraordinary is definitely about to appear on the Boundless Battlefield.” The disciples of the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect began to whisper amongst each other excitedly.
The young man, whose eyes gleamed with an undeniable brilliance just now, approached his Junior Sister, Luo Yanxi, with a charming smile. “Junior Sister, it seems that fate has brought us here at the perfect moment. Perhaps we will encounter our fated opportunity?”
His name was Song Yunjie, one of the most exceptional prodigies of the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect. Although his talent paled in comparison to that of his Junior Sister, Luo Yanxi, he had managed to achieve reach the Quasi-Nirvana Realm in less than ten thousand years.
Upon hearing his words, the young Luo Yanxi remained impassive, her expression unchanged as if his words had fallen on deaf ears. She did not even bother to turn her head. This left Song Yunjie feeling slightly upset. He followed Luo Yanxi’s gaze, only to spot a figure dressed in white, standing not too far away.
He was an exceptionally tall, slender, and handsome young man. Clad in pristine, snow-white robes, he seemed detached from the secular world, evoking thoughts of an Immortal in exile.
He Gracefully strolling through the ancient city, his pace was unhurried. Occasionally, he would pause at the stalls lining the streets.
“Do you like handsome young men, Junior Sister? You seem almost fascinated by him.” Song Yunjie’s tone was tinged with a hint of jealousy, causing it to sound higher pitched than usual.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanxi snapped back to reality. She cast him a look and said, “Haven’t Senior Brother noticed that the people around him appear to be oblivious to his presence?”
