Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel
Chapter 883 Ancient Battlefield
Feeling curious about what the notes would look like after they had been organized, Xuan Hao directly redeemed the reward from the system, causing the book containing the Sky Watcher's notes inside his interspatial ring to be covered by a golden light for a few seconds before returning to normal again like nothing had happened.
Did the notes really get organized…?
Not knowing whether the notes had been sorted by the golden light or not, Xuan Hao could not help taking the small book out of his interspatial ring before starting to look through it.
"This- Is this really the same notes as the ones from earlier!?"
However, the moment he opened the book again, Xuan Hao could not help showing a shocked expression on his face, as he discovered that the content of the book had been completely changed.
If what he had seen before was a disorganized mess with different notes jumbled together that would have been impossible to understand without months of hard work organizing them and making sure what was what, it was now fully organized and easier to understand.
Even if the notes themselves were still incredibly difficult and hard to comprehend, he would at the very least be capable of starting to understand them now. Although… Given how difficult it was to even understand the first page, it looked like it would still have to be something that had to wait until he returned to sect again-
Whoosh~!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, before he could even think about leaving behind the weird and mysterious door, the system showed up with a brand-new main quest…
[Main Quest: Pass through the mysterious door, Part 1]
[Description: You see a mysterious door in front of you that might lead to somewhere filled with danger. Pass through it and find out just how dangerous it is on the other side.]
[Reward: Unlock next part of the quest]
Looking at the new main quest that had appeared in front of him at some unknown period of time, Xuan Hao slowly returned the book containing the Sky Watcher's notes to his interspatial ring before turning to look towards the mysterious door leading to somewhere unknown.
Even if it had not been obvious before, the new main quest pretty much gave away the fact that the system had wanted him to enter the hole and go through the mysterious door from the start!
As for why the system wanted this… Xuan Hao could only think that it should be related to him encountering a really talented potential disciple or something that would help him increase the strength of his disciples. No matter what it was, Xuan Hao at least felt a bit more confident about going through the mysterious door.
At least he didn't think he didn't think that the system would issue him a quest that would kill him the moment he passed through the door. Even if he did find out that it was far more dangerous than he could handle with his current strength, he should be more than capable of escaping back through the spatial corridor that the door in front of him was connected to and return at a later time. Similar to what he had done when he realized that the remnant soul hiding inside the temple had been far too strong for him to handle back then.
Swish~
Deciding to take the risk and check out what was on the other side of the mysterious door, Xuan Hao stepped forward and opened the door before stepping through it. Entering the spatial corridor that had been created between it and somewhere unknown.
…
As the sun dipped below the horizon in an unknown location far away from the Shattered Star Peaks, a spatial distortion appeared in the air, and a rippling corridor materialized.
Stepping out of the corridor, Xuan Hao appeared as he hovered in the air just outside the spatial corridor before starting to use his power to stabilize the spatial corridor. Ensuring that it wouldn't just suddenly collapse and close out his only path of escape.
Whoosh-!
As the spatial corridor was locked in place for at least the next few days, Xuan Hao began to survey the desolate landscape that spread out all around him-
"Hm? An ancient battlefield…?
Not having to take more than a simple look to notice the remnants of a terrifying battle from the past that stretched out in all directions around him. The air itself was still crackling with residual energy that had been left behind during the battle. Allowing Xuan Hao to understand just how powerful the people who had participated in the battle had been, with the weakest energy having reached the Domain Lord Realm and the strongest having reached the Soul Ascension Realm.
Then again, he was still on the outer edges of the battlefield at the moment, if he entered the core of the battlefield where the most powerful experts would have fought each other, he didn't doubt that there would be residual energy left behind by experts above the Soul Ascension Realm present!
Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help remembering the ancient battle he had once seen through the golden book from his trip through the Thousand Wind Mountain. Maybe the battlefield he was on at the moment was the same as the one he had seen back then. If not, there might still be a chance it was a battlefield that had been related to the conflict that had taken place back then…
Feeling that the possibility of this being rather high, Xuan Hao could not help examining his surroundings more closely than before. Looking for any clue that might point towards the ancient battlefield, he now found himself on, being related to the battlefield he had seen through the golden book.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe once large and serene forest that should have covered the place in the past before the battle, had been reduced to nothing more than a wasteland. Only a few parts of ancient spirit trees leaving behind traces of the once great forest that had existed where there was now only a wasteland. Everything else related to the natural terrain of the ancient battlefield having been completely destroyed during the battle back then.
Scattered throughout the ancient battlefield, Xuan Hao could also see the remnants of shattered weapons and armor, half-buried in the earth or draped over the skeletal remains of fallen cultivators who had once participated in the ancient battle. The metallic gleam of the now useless broken artifacts, silently passing on the feelings of despair that their owners had felt in their last moments before ultimately falling.
"…"
As his gaze swept over the decimated landscape and remains of the once powerful cultivators that had once fought there, Xuan Hao felt his heart filling with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The aftermath of the battle that had take place around him was simply not something he could comprehend with his current strength and understanding of the world… But even then, he still understood that the battle should have had some kind of great importance for the world. Having left its own unique mark upon history.
Unfortunately for Xuan Hao, he still couldn't determine whether the battlefield really was the one he had seen back then or not. No matter what it was, he still prepared himself for the challenges that lay ahead, as he got reader to unravel the secret concealed within this ancient battlefield and perhaps uncover some more information about what had happened in the past. Maybe even uncovering some forgotten treasures in the process…
As for why he had decided to enter the ancient battlefield and explore it… That was because it would be a good opportunity for him to try and learn from some of the remnant power left behind by the powerful experts that had once fought in this place.
More importantly than this, he did not find anything dangerous that could threaten him, and the system had once again appeared to issue the next part of the main quest just after he had passed through the spatial corridor and reached the ancient battlefield.
[Main Quest: Explore the Core of the Ancient Battlefield, Part 2]
[Description: Explore the Core of the Ancient Battlefield and find out what secrets are hiding there.]
[Reward: Strengthen Dao Domain]
To be honest, with the new main quest reward being a direct increase in strength, Xuan Hao really did not want to give up on it if he had a chance to complete it. Especially considering how long it had been since he had actually gotten a direct increase in strength as a reward from the system.
While a part of him had thought he would not get any more direct increase in strength with his cultivation realm having reached the Initial Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, it looked like that had been a needless worry.
Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao began making his way towards the core of the ancient battlefield.
