The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 248 The Immortal Battlefield is About to Begin
"What does your impending departure have to do with me? You've finally made it to Boundless Heaven, are you going to return to Three Thousand Dao States again?" Wang Xi said coldly.

On the other side, the witch stood there dumbfounded, her beautiful face filled with astonishment, as if struck by lightning.

Intuition told her that the departure Wei Yangke spoke of did not refer to the Boundless Heaven, nor the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but perhaps to this entire space-time.

After all, when the two first met, it was just a small town on the outskirts of the Three Thousand States. Wei Yangke was like a mysterious and unpredictable ghost, appearing suddenly and leaving no trace. It is quite reasonable that he would disappear mysteriously again.

Thinking of this, the witch ignored Wang Xi and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to leave this world?"

"Ah."

Chen Wu nodded slightly, while glancing at the witch with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected her to react so strongly; anyone else would have thought the same as Wang Xi.

[Could it be that I've figured it out?] Chen Wu thought to himself.

Sure enough, the moment she received a positive reply, the witch's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, as if all the starlight had been drained away. With each slow blink, a moist glint flickered in the shadows of her pupils.

"Why did it happen so suddenly?" she murmured to herself, feeling lost, melancholy, and reluctant to let go.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wu felt a headache coming on.

After thinking it over, he still offered a few words of comfort, "There's no need for that. I won't leave right away; I'll stay a while longer."

The journey through the Chaotic Ancient Era was originally intended to explore the path of transformation. Now that there is a division between Heaven and Man, all that remains is to patiently wait for the three Dao Seeds to grow strong.

Until they are perfected, the supreme Dao seed of heaven and man will be reflected, returning from illusion to reality. At that time, it will also be the final step for Chen Wu to return from heaven to man.

"Who are you?"

On the other side, Wang Xi looked on warily.

She had witnessed the witch's feelings throughout. This person who called himself "Weiyangke" had shielded her from the outside world and pulled her in alone. Could it be that he also had some kind of intention towards her?
Having considered this, Wang Xi became more wary of Chen Wu and began to secretly accumulate strength.

"Relax, I just want to give you a few words of advice, I mean no harm."

After saying that, Chen Wu casually waved his hand.

No one knows what he did, but Wang Xi's tense body involuntarily relaxed, and the vigilance deep in her heart inexplicably dissipated.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Xi frowned.

The spring breeze carries the night rain, nourishing all things silently. This is an extremely dangerous state, which only occurs when the gap between the two sides becomes too large.

With her current cultivation level, even an ordinary cultivator at the Escape Realm would find it difficult to achieve this.

Suddenly, Wang Xi thought of someone.

At the same time, Chen Wu's voice echoed in her ears.

“Wang Changsheng, your Wang family’s ancestor was quite an interesting person.”

……

Qingxi Youlin, the pure land where Wang Xi resides within the Heavenly God Academy.

At first glance, it appears somewhat desolate, but upon closer inspection, one will discover that the mountains and forests are deep and secluded, with dappled sunlight, and countless ancient medicinal herbs lurking in the crevices of the woods and rocks, exuding a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

The Heavenly God Academy covers a vast area, containing countless dragon veins and sacred mountains of all sizes. Therefore, each true disciple is given a cave dwelling, exclusively for one person.

A peerless celestial maiden like Wang Xi, who comes from a family of immortals and has cultivated three strands of immortal energy, possesses a territory far exceeding that of others, ranking among the top in the entire Heavenly God Academy. After the previous commotion, she declined the kindness of the elders and instead invited the witch and her "servants" to her own sanctuary.

This scene aroused great curiosity among the crowd, and some even followed, fearing that Fairy Wang Xi had been bewitched.

However, unexpectedly, Wang Xi suddenly flew into a rage and severely punished several audacious cultivators. Seeing this, no one dared to interfere anymore.

In the quiet, secluded forest, several thatched huts sit, simple and unpretentious, blending into the surrounding nature.

Wang Xi led Chen Wu and the witch back here.

Not far away, there was another cave, carved out of the stone wall, shimmering with a faint light and accompanied by wisps of chaotic energy, clearly a sacred place for cultivation.

“If you don’t mind, witch sister, you can stay here for a while. I will apply to the higher-ups to open up a new sanctuary near the Qingxi Youlin Forest as your cave dwelling,” Wang Xi said.

By now, she had fully recovered, her face serene and her tone gentle.

However, the witch seemed not to have heard, and was somewhat lost in thought.

Wang Xi was not surprised by this, and simply looked at Chen Wu, who was observing the terrain of Qingxi Youlin.

"I agree to your request. From now on, the witch sister will be my ally, and this alliance will remain valid even if she leaves the Heavenly God Academy in the future," Wang Xi said solemnly.

“Remember, this only represents you personally, not the Wang family and the Jietiandao behind you,” Chen Wu replied meaningfully.

"I see."

Although somewhat puzzled, Wang Xi nodded.

Now, she has finally let down her guard against Chen Wu.

Because it was completely unnecessary, the fleeting glimpse he had just seen made him suddenly realize that the latter's strength was terrifying, even comparable to Wang Changsheng, the patriarch of the Wang family, and the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy.

To a powerhouse of that level, even she was no different from an ant, and not worth wasting any effort on.

The reason he was willing to condescend to her position before might be related to the witch.

“The Immortal Battlefield will open soon, and Green Tuo, Wind Star, and Inviting Moon have been preparing for it for a long time. I’m short-handed right now, and even with the witch sister’s help, it might not be enough. Will you step in then?” Wang Xi asked after a moment’s hesitation.

"A battlefield of immortals?" Chen Wu glanced sideways.

“In the previous era, true immortals fought fiercely there, leaving behind too many mysteries.”

Wang Xi began to explain.

The Immortal Battlefield is a sealed ancient immortal ruin, filled with many unsolved mysteries. Since its discovery and reopening, it has attracted a large number of cultivators to explore it every year.

“There are remnants of immortal scriptures there, strange creatures are active there, and mysterious beings are appearing there. It is very likely that they come from that realm and do not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”

"According to the speculations of our predecessors, the Immortal Battlefield may be connected to another world, just like the Borderland Imperial Pass, except that the passage is very small."

"Therefore, the academy's higher-ups are keen to have us participate. Regardless of the opportunities we personally gain, they will also issue various tasks, rewarding us with immortal scriptures upon completion. Consider it a test for us," Wang Xi said methodically.

At this moment, the witch, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked up.

"I'm going there to fight!"
