The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

The Sword Sect's current headquarters is located in the Primordial Immortal City.

Compared to the Sword Sect, the Blade Sect is now clearly in a dominant position.

The forces that can control the Primordial Immortal City are not small forces; they must have an absolutely powerful figure behind them.

According to rumors, the Sword Sect has a peerless figure whose strength has reached the fourth level of the Breaker Realm.

Whether such rumors are true or false, no one really knows, and no one dares to investigate easily.

Zheng Tuo returned to the original immortal city and looked at the familiar street scenes around him, feeling an indescribable emotion.

I am still not strong enough, and I still need to work hard to improve myself.

He sent a message directly and found the sect leader of the Sword Sect, Sword Immortal.

"Young friend Lan, it is an honor to have you here. I am so sorry for not greeting you properly."

Dao Zhongxian greeted Zheng Tuo with a hearty laugh, appearing cheerful but still trying to win Zheng Tuo over.

"Senior Dao Zhongxian, I have come here with a question I hope you can answer for me." Zheng Tuo got straight to the point, not wanting to waste any time.

"Please feel free to ask me anything, young friend." Dao Zhongxian had a carefree personality and a strong demeanor.

"I have heard that there is a power in the Sword Sect called Sword Immortal Qi. I wonder if this power really exists, and if it does, where is it now?"

Zheng Tuo's question immediately stunned Dao Zhongxian!

This young friend Lan really doesn't consider himself an outsider by asking so directly about matters within the Sword Sect.

He felt slightly displeased, after all, it was an internal matter of the Sword Sect, but he soon wondered why this young friend Lan would ask such a question.

"May I ask, young friend Lan, what is the reason for your inquiries about my Sword Sect?"

Faced with such a question, Zheng Tuo did not hide his purpose.

"I have heard that the Sword Immortal Qi is an extremely powerful force. If the Sword Sect has such a powerful method, I am willing to join the Sword Sect and become a disciple of the Sword Sect."

Zheng Tuo's words were very direct, leaving Dao Zhongxian looking puzzled.

Good heavens, this Blue Daoist is truly extraordinary; his directness is astonishing.

But upon closer reflection, this personality trait actually resonates with me quite a bit.

He dislikes people who beat around the bush, and even more so, hypocritical people. A personality like Lan Xiaoyou's is very much to his liking.

Say whatever you want to say, without any reservations—it's truly delightful!

He thought about it carefully.

“Young friend Lan, my Sword Sect does indeed possess a sword aura called Sword Immortal Aura.”

"Really!"

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed!

If I could learn the Blade Immortal Qi and then merge it with the Sword Immortal Qi, I would surely be able to create an even more powerful Righteous Qi. I imagine that at that time, I could use the Righteous Qi to break through and become a Breaker-level being.

"May I ask where the sword immortal aura is, senior? May I see it? If the sword immortal aura truly exists, I am willing to join the Sword Sect, and from now on, the Sword Sect will be my home."

Zheng Tuo was not joking.

He wanted to join both the Blade Sect and the Sword Sect.

His goal was simple: to find allies and backers.

After fighting the Wallbreakers several times and experiencing countless hardships, he discovered that having a powerful backer is extremely important.

Moreover, in this primordial immortal realm, unless one's strength can overwhelm everyone, one still needs a backer or an ally.

He knew the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect best. If he could establish a connection with them and form an alliance, he could then summon his Immortal Realm to the Primordial Immortal Realm after breaking through and becoming a Breaker, and then slowly cultivate his own power.

He had such a plan in mind, but he needed to take it one step at a time, and the first step was to build good relations with the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect.

Dao Zhongxian was momentarily at a loss when faced with such a frank response.

He naturally hoped that this young friend Lan would join his sword sect. This young friend Lan's talent was simply heaven-defying, and he was definitely a formidable figure.

However, there is no sword immortal energy in the current Sword Sect.

"Is it difficult?"

Zheng Tuo could see the difficulty in Dao Zhongxian's mind.

“Young friend Lan, I naturally want you to join my Blade Sect. With your talent, you will surely break through in a hundred years and become a Breaker-level existence. However, there is no Blade Immortal Qi in my Blade Sect at present.”

"What do you mean by saying there's no sword immortal aura?"

Zheng Tuo was completely puzzled!

"This is a long story, let me tell you slowly." Dao Zhongxian sat calmly, took a sip of tea, and said, "My Dao Sect was founded by Dao Zuan himself, and Dao Xian Qi is Dao Zuan's original power. Logically speaking, my Dao Sect should have Dao Zuan's inheritance, but this inheritance was lost a very long time ago."

Lost?

"That's right. From a certain perspective, there has never been any sword immortal energy in my sword sect, because the person who lost the sword immortal energy was the sword ancestor of my sword sect."

"What?" Zheng Tuo looked puzzled. "You mean, the Sword Ancestor of the Sword Sect has lost his legacy?"

"That's right. Back then, in order to break through his own limitations, the Sword Ancestor of my Sword Sect went directly to the Mythical Battlefield and fought against others there. The final result was that he perished in the Mythical Battlefield."

"Mythical Battlefield!"

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

Although it is called the Mythical Battlefield, it is actually a vast and boundless world.

"According to the information I have, there were rumors that there was a secret to becoming an immortal in the Mythical Battlefield. Therefore, many powerful people went to the Mythical Battlefield in an attempt to obtain a chance to become an immortal. My Sword Ancestor of the Sword Sect was one of them," said the Sword Immortal.

"So, all these years, the Sword Sect hasn't sent anyone to search for it?" Zheng Tuo asked, then immediately felt incredibly foolish.

Although the Mythical Battlefield is one of the seven forbidden lands of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Sword Sect is full of powerful figures, and some of them must have gone there to explore.

“Sending people to the Mythical Battlefield is certainly possible, but since the fall of the Sword Ancestor, no one has been able to find his whereabouts, let alone the Sword Sect’s legacy. In fact, even the Sword Ancestor’s original sword, the Immortal-Slaying Blade, cannot locate him.”

At this point, Dao Zhongxian looked quite helpless.

Even the Immortal-Slaying Blade cannot defeat the Blade Ancestor, its true form. These disciples of the Blade Sect have only obtained a portion of the Blade Ancestor's inheritance, so it's unlikely they will be able to find it no matter how hard they try.

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade is the sword of the Sword Ancestor, and also his natal magic weapon. If even the Immortal-Slaying Blade cannot find the Sword Ancestor's whereabouts, it is likely that the Sword Ancestor has truly perished and disappeared without a trace.

If the Sword Ancestor disappears, how can I obtain the Sword Immortal Qi?

Wait! The Immortal-Slaying Blade!

He suddenly thought of something.

Ye Xian Ye'er gained the recognition of the Immortal Slaying Sword and was thus bestowed with the aura of a sword immortal by the sword immortal. In that case, the Immortal Slaying Blade should also possess the sword immortal aura of the sword ancestor.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade is now in the hands of the One-Sword Immortal, but no one knows where he is now.

He thought this to himself, but said nothing.

"Young friend Lan, in reality, even without the sword immortal energy, my sword sect is still a major sect in the original immortal realm. The experts in my sword sect are all on their own paths, and each one is extremely powerful. If you join, I can guarantee that you will break through within a hundred years and become the next barrier-breaker in my sword sect."

Dao Zhongxian spoke in this way in an attempt to lure Zheng Tuo into joining the Dao Sect.

obviously.

The words of the Sword Immortal could not move Zheng Tuo; the only thing that could move Zheng Tuo now was the Sword Immortal's aura.

"By the way, may I ask Senior Daoist Daoist Daoist Yi Dao Xian, where are you now?"

"Is something wrong?"

"I once fought with Fellow Daoist Yidao Xian and knew that he was extremely strong. Now that I have made some progress in my cultivation, I would like to have a friendly spar with him."

"To be honest, if you want to find my apprentice, there's only one place you can look for him in."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo's heart stirred.

"Could this be the mythical battlefield?!"

“That’s right, it’s the Mythical Battlefield. Back then, my disciple saw how extraordinary your skills were and thought he was no match for you. But the only way he could become stronger was to go to the Mythical Battlefield to find the sword immortal energy left behind by the Sword Ancestor.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo suddenly felt that everything seemed to be preordained, and the purpose was to send him to the Mythical Battlefield.

As one of the seven forbidden lands of the primordial immortal realm, the Mythical Battlefield is inherently filled with endless dangers.

As the name suggests, the Mythical Battlefield is itself a battlefield, and a battlefield where various barrier breakers have fought.

Back then, because an opportunity to become an immortal appeared in this place, almost 99% of those who broke through barriers came to fight, and in the end, they almost completely destroyed the entire world.

The powerful aura of various strong individuals still lingers in the mythical battlefield, while various dangers also exist.

Even those who break through barriers wouldn't easily set foot on the Mythical Battlefield, because one wrong move could bring them great trouble. In particular, the Heavenly Dao power in the Mythical Battlefield is extremely unstable, and there's no guarantee that a terrifying force won't descend at any time, blasting everyone to death.

Zheng Tuo didn't want to set foot in such a dangerous place, but the current situation was truly troublesome for him.

He knew clearly that the Sword Immortal Qi was extremely important to him. Without the support of the Sword Immortal Qi, even if he broke through with the power of the Righteousness and became a Breaker-level being, he would not go far.

Even though he doesn't have high hopes for his current breakthrough, cultivating the power of righteousness is still a cultivation method he prefers. Moreover, given his personality, if he's going to break through, he won't do it carelessly; he'll naturally have to consider the future.

He didn't want to become cannon fodder by breaking through with the power of righteousness. He hoped that no matter what means he used to break through, he could continue to break through and become stronger. Even if he broke through with primordial Dao patterns, he hoped that he could fuse nine primordial Dao patterns and then ten primordial Dao patterns.

and so.

He will upgrade the Righteous Power to the highest level, which requires the support of the Sword Immortal Qi.

Mythical Battlefield?
He didn't know much about the Mythical Battlefield, so his next task was to learn about it before heading there.

Just right.

The swordsman before him was a seasoned veteran who had weathered many storms, and he humbly sought information about the mythical battlefield.

"Young friend Lan, are you sure you want to go to the Mythical Battlefield?"

Dao Zhongxian was extremely reluctant to go to the mythical battlefield.

"I would be very grateful if you could tell me where this mythical battlefield is and what dangers it poses."

Zheng Tuo immediately took out a jar of fine wine, pretended to fill it for Dao Zhongxian, and then looked like he was listening attentively.

Upon seeing this, Dao Zhongxian immediately understood that this Blue Daoist had made up his mind to go to the Mythical Battlefield. In that case, he told Zheng Tuo all the information he knew.

"Back when I was your age, I roamed the mythical battlefield," the Sword Immortal replied, recalling the past.

At that time, he had already joined the Sword Sect and heard that the Sword Ancestor of the Sword Sect had perished in the Mythical Battlefield. Therefore, he and several senior brothers and sisters went to the Mythical Battlefield in an attempt to find the Sword Ancestor's legacy and inherit the Sword Ancestor's great cause.

however.

The Mythical Battlefield is one of the seven forbidden zones. It is called a forbidden zone for a simple reason: countless wallbreakers once fought to the death in the Mythical Battlefield.

The power of those who break through barriers is beyond people's imagination, especially those who break through barriers above the fifth level. They are almost immortal. Even if they are killed, the wisp of their remnant soul and the fluctuation they leave behind are enough to easily wipe out any half-step barrier-breaker.

Many who break through to the first or second level of the Heavenly Realm will not even go to the Mythical Battlefield, because if they make a move, it will inevitably trigger the obsessions left behind by various incomplete formations, remnant souls, and dangerous creatures in the Mythical Battlefield.

If they were surrounded by these guys, even if there were any Wall Breakers, they would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Mythical Battlefield still exists. The power of the Heavenly Dao is terrifying. It is said that it once killed a great figure who was at the eighth level of the Wall Breaker.

Under such circumstances, he went to the Mythical Battlefield with his senior brothers and sisters, and the final result still pains him to this day.

Apart from himself, all the senior brothers and sisters who went with him died in the Mythical Battlefield.

The dangers of the mythical battlefield are beyond people's imagination.

Of course, the opportunities and dangers in the mythical battlefield are directly proportional.

To know.

The Mythical Battlefield is the battlefield where the Wallbreakers exist. These Wallbreakers possess countless treasures, including weapons, magical artifacts, elixirs, and legacies left behind after their fall.

and so.

In the primordial immortal realm, there are always those who suddenly inherit the legacy of others and acquire certain treasures in the mythical battlefield, thus soaring to great heights and becoming famous.

As a result, although the mythical battlefield is dangerous, there are still people willing to go there to explore, and there are still people willing to risk everything for it.

All sorts of information came from Dao Zhongxian's mouth, and Zheng Tuo listened to it and kept it in mind.

After hearing all the information, Zheng Tuo immediately realized that the Mythical Battlefield was definitely a dangerous place and it was best not to go there.

Not only that.

To find information about the Sword Ancestor, one must venture deep into the Mythical Battlefield, and the deeper one goes, the more terrifying the danger becomes.

Even a third-level Breaker wouldn't dare say they could escape unscathed. How could someone like me, a mere half-step Breaker, possibly find the Blade Ancestor's legacy in the Mythical Battlefield?

of course.

He could also find the One-Sword Immortal and see if there was any sword immortal energy in that Immortal-Slaying Blade.

With this in mind, he immediately clarified his goal and decided to find One-Sword Immortal first. (End of Chapter)
