Chapter 1501: Chapter 1474: The Domain Battlefield
Stealing the Sky Technique?
Xiao Yi was taken aback, looking at the Heavenly Tao Pavilion Master in confusion.
The Pavilion Master nodded, hands behind his back, and calmly said, "Xiao Yi, have you ever wondered why the Unharmed Heaven Realm, clearly much stronger than the Qingtian Realm, doesn’t have many Saint King Realm experts?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
This was something that had puzzled him before.
Logically, the Unharmed Heaven Realm could easily rank fourth among the nine small worlds.
How could there be only a few Saint King Realm experts?
You need to know...
Before I broke through to the Saint King Realm, even the powerful Heavenly Tao Pavilion had only three Saint King experts.
The Pavilion Master calmly said, "In fact, the Saint King Realm experts of my Unharmed Heaven Realm are far more than that. Just in the Heavenly Tao Pavilion alone, we have over a hundred Saint King experts still in the human world."
Over a hundred?
Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly, never expecting the Heavenly Tao Pavilion to have such terrifying hidden strength.
And what of the Supreme Sect?
What about the God Slayer Sect and Feather Transformation Sect?
Do they also have hidden Saint King experts?
Yet...
If those sects also have hidden Saint King experts, why didn’t they appear when I attacked the Supreme Sect?
"Whether the Heavenly Tao Pavilion or those three sects, the Saint King Realm experts far exceed those exposed. This is something that all forces in the Unharmed Heaven Realm are well aware of..."
The Pavilion Master gazed at the sky, where the ceiling of the Heavenly Tao Grand Hall was dotted with countless stars.
They shone with an unparalleled brilliance.
As if countless Luminous Pearls were embedded in the sky.
Xiao Yi asked deeply, "May I ask the Pavilion Master, where are those hidden Saint King experts specifically located?"
The Pavilion Master calmly spoke, "They are all at the Jieyu Battlefield!"
"Jieyu Battlefield?"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, then thought of the extraterritorial battlefield of the Qingtian Realm.
However, the extraterritorial battlefield of the Qingtian Realm was just the exits of some realm passages, and these realm passages were not fully connected, requiring only defense.
The Pavilion Master said indifferently, "In the Jieyu Battlefield, nearly 70% of our top experts from the Unharmed Heaven Realm gather. They guard there for years, like the honored ancestors in the Heavenly Tao Forbidden Area you’ve seen, some of whom fell at the extraterritorial battlefield. Of course, they are considered fortunate since their bodies could return home. Yet many more forever slumber on the battlefield, their bodies never found..."
Xiao Yi felt heavy-hearted.
Soldiers wrapped in horsehide.
How many soldiers defending their homeland have such a resting place?
And how many nameless heroes don’t even have this chance?
The Pavilion Master said, "The Unharmed Heaven Realm is beneath the Blissful Heaven Realm and connects with the Life Heaven Realm. The realm passages between us have long been open; our realm fights on two fronts throughout the year. The Jieyu Battlefield cannot be left unattended any day, and most experts are restricted there."
Xiao Yi nodded in understanding, expressing his confusion, "Pavilion Master, what do you mean by the Stealing the Sky Technique..."
The Pavilion Master squinted, observing him, "Presumably, your Qingtian Realm has similar places?" Seeing Xiao Yi nod, he continued, "Though the Jieyu Battlefield is dangerous, it also houses significant opportunities. Just the Tian Dao Shards can enhance a strong person’s insights. Have you ever wondered how these realm battlefields are formed? Why does every world have one?"
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow; he had also explored this, forming some hypotheses. "I suspect the battlefields are the weakest spatial points of each world. While the nine worlds emerged from the collapse of the Nine Heavens Domain, over time, each world’s Heavenly Dao became relatively independent and repelling of each other, leading to the formation of realm battlefields or extraterritorial domains to isolate them."
"You’re not wrong! But to correct you, while the battlefields are products of the Heavenly Dao’s evolution, they’re not just barriers but connections between worlds."
The Pavilion Master praised him before continuing, "Every world is independent, yet even the Heavenly Dao has desires, wanting to devour other worlds. But the Heavenly Dao itself cannot attack, so they created these battlefields, embedding them with countless Tian Dao Shards to lure beings into them, killing the opposing world’s strong ones. Remember, a world’s strength is linked to its Heavenly Dao, but the number of strong individuals strengthens the world. Conversely, each top-tier individual’s fall weakens the Heavenly Dao..."
Xiao Yi’s heart pounded.
The Pavilion Master’s words were like a thunderclap.
Realm battlefields.
Were they created by the Heavenly Dao to weaken other worlds?
As Xiao Yi was still shocked,
The Pavilion Master spoke words that concerned him most: "My mention of the Stealing the Sky Technique is to send you to the realm battlefield to find those who have just fallen. Veterans there accumulate some Tian Dao Shards, and if you retrieve them before the battlefield is cleaned, it should be enough to let your four subordinates reach the Saint King Realm!"
Though this method results in weaker Saint King Realm entries compared to self-insight breakthroughs,
However...
For the current state of the Qingtian Realm, this slight disparity matters little.
Xiao Yi nodded, "It seems there’s no other way."
Swoosh!
In a wave of the Pavilion Master’s hand, a silver token flew to Xiao Yi.
The Pavilion Master gestured for Xiao Yi to keep it. The token glowed with a silver sheen, like smooth mercury, inscribed with mysterious runes; this small token contained over a hundred formations.
"Your reputation is significant now. If you enter the battlefield openly, the veteran strong ones from the Supreme Sect, God Slayer Sect, and Feather Transformation Sect will notice you."
The Pavilion Master’s teasing gaze caused Xiao Yi to roll his eyes, "This Heaven Concealing Order, personally crafted by me, can mask your true cultivation. Even peak Saint Kings would be unable to sense your level. Once at the battlefield, how you operate will depend on your own skill..."
Xiao Yi was exasperated and amused at this.
He thought coming to the Unharmed Heaven Realm would bring aid from the Pavilion Master.
Unexpectedly, he still had to toil himself.
But...
This was for the survival of the Qingtian Realm.
Xiao Yi exhaled deeply, saying, "I trouble the Pavilion Master to send me to the realm battlefield..."
