Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

The ancient battlefield was originally an independent space left over from ancient times.

Countless ages ago, it is said that an earth-shattering battle once raged here. Both sides were powerful beings comparable to those at the Reincarnation Realm or even the Samsara Realm. That battle caused the heavens and earth to tremble and space to shatter, leaving countless indelible marks on this land to this day.

The ancient battlefield has now been opened up by the major super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region and used as the venue for the Hundred Dynasties War.

Countless opportunities and inheritances are found throughout this place. Although this space has shrunk countless times compared to its peak, its vastness is still unimaginable for ordinary dynasties.

……

A sudden burst of light shone, and space itself distorted.

Lan He felt a momentary dizziness, and the next instant, his feet were on solid ground.

He looked up and saw a vast expanse of rocky peaks. One after another, massive, bare stone peaks rose abruptly from the ground, radiating a scorching heat under the blazing sun. As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation and vastness.

"Buzz!"

A series of spatial fluctuations came from behind him. Nearly a hundred figures appeared one after another behind him, none other than the prodigies of the Immortal Dynasty who were participating in this battle. Lan Ying and Qing Feng stood beside him, their expressions equally wary as they surveyed this unfamiliar world.

Lan He didn't rush to act, but instead closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

In the next instant, a massive amount of spiritual power spread out like a tide, silently spreading in all directions.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth here is astonishingly abundant.

He extended his palm, and with a slight thought, a ball of primordial energy gathered in his hand. Within that milky-white primordial energy, a tiny, faintly reddish energy flickered. Though subtle, this energy radiated a heat like the blazing sun, faintly exuding a scorching aura.

Lan He looked at the faint red energy and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The aura of Nirvana".

He murmured to himself, his tone tinged with a touch of melancholy.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ying behind her also tried to gather her energy, and her eyes lit up immediately: "It really is! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this ancient battlefield actually contains the energy of Nirvana?"

Qingfeng nodded slightly, his expression also showing some emotion.

Lan He withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping across the vast expanse of stone peaks, and slowly said:

"Countless ancient powerhouses have perished here. After their deaths, their life's cultivation and the aura of rebirth dissipated into the heavens and earth, and over time, they merged into the primordial energy of this space."

He paused, a smile playing on his lips:

"Just staying here to cultivate is already a great opportunity."

Lan Ying stepped forward and asked, "What's the plan going forward? This place looks quite large; we need a direction."

Qingfeng also looked at Lanhe, waiting for him to speak.

Lan He pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's find a place to stay first. We've only heard about the situation on this ancient battlefield; it's best to be cautious now that we're here in person."

Lan Ying nodded: "Okay, let's take a look at the map first."

She reached to her waist and pulled out a slightly worn animal hide map from her storage pouch, slowly unrolling it. It was data accumulated bit by bit by the predecessors of the Immortal Dynasty who participated in the Hundred Dynasties War. Although incomplete, it marked many key locations.

She surveyed the surrounding terrain for a moment, then looked up at the faintly visible mountain outlines in the distance, and said:

"According to the markings on the map, we should now be in the northeastern region of the ancient battlefield."

She paused for a moment and then explained, "This ancient battlefield is vast, roughly divided into four major regions: east, south, west, and north, plus the Hundred Dynasty Mountain region in the very center. Although the northeastern region isn't the richest, it's not bad either."

Lan He leaned closer to take a look, his gaze sweeping across the map before finally settling on a marker in the northeastern region. He raised his hand and pointed to that location with his fingertip:

"The closest city to us is this city, Rock City."

Lan Ying and Qing Feng followed his finger and saw that the map indeed had the words "Yan City" written next to the marked spot, with a small note next to it: "The city is passable and can be used as a temporary place to stay."

Qingfeng glanced at it and asked, "Approximately how far?"

Lan Ying estimated the distance and said, "At our speed, if we travel at full speed, we should be able to arrive before sunset tomorrow."

Lan He nodded and straightened up: "Then let's go to Yan City. Settle down first, and then slowly gather information."

Just as he was about to call everyone to set off, he suddenly remembered something and added:

"By the way, be careful traveling at night. The spiritual energy of this ancient battlefield contains all sorts of strange energies. It's alright during the day, but at night, those energies suppress human spiritual energy. However, the monsters here become exceptionally ferocious and powerful at night."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the nearly one hundred prodigies of the Immortal Dynasty behind him, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Of course, such a threat might be fatal to a low-level dynasty, but it's nothing to us. But it's better to avoid trouble. Let's find a city and settle down first."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed somewhat.

Lan Ying laughed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Lan He said no more, and with a swift movement, he sped off in the direction marked on the map.

Behind them, Lan Ying put away the map, exchanged a glance with Qing Feng, and then led the others to follow closely behind. Nearly a hundred figures, like streaks of light, pierced through this vast and ancient world.

……

The next day, at noon.

After a night's rest, the Immortal Dynasty group continued their journey towards Rock City. On the vast and endless wilderness plains, nearly a hundred figures swept across with lightning speed, the deep whistling of wind breaking echoing far and wide.

Along the way, they did encounter some people from other dynasties. However, as soon as the two sides met, before Lan He and his companions could even think of anything, those people retreated far away like startled birds, their wary appearance as if they had encountered some kind of flood or ferocious beast.

Seeing this, Lan Ying couldn't help but chuckle: "Is it really necessary? We're not man-eating monsters."

Qingfeng said calmly, "It's understandable that they're being cautious. In this ancient battlefield, killing and looting are quite common."

Lanhe didn't say much, and just continued on his way.

About two hours later, a magnificent city built of huge stones finally appeared on the horizon.

We've arrived at Iwaki.

However, before they could even get close, there was already movement on the city wall. Several figures quickly descended and sped towards the city, clearly scouts returning to report the news.

Lan He continued walking, leading the group straight towards the city gate.

As soon as they landed in front of the city gate, a group of people came out from inside the gate to greet them.

The leader was a man dressed in moon-white robes, with a handsome face, a calm demeanor, and a faint aura of the Three Realms Nirvana Realm flowing around him.

Behind him followed a young woman dressed in pristine white, her long, black hair cascading down to her slender waist, outlining her captivating curves. Yet, her pretty face exuded a chilling aura that kept people at a distance, making her appear from afar like an unyielding block of ancient ice.

The man stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled:

"Mu Lin of the Lonely Moon Dynasty greets the esteemed members of the Immortal Dynasty."

His attitude was polite and considerate. His gaze swept over Lan He, and when he sensed the aura of the other party's Fifth Yuan Nirvana Realm, a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes, and then his smile became even more sincere.

"You have come from afar, presumably intending to stay in Yan City? This city has already been occupied by my Lonely Moon Dynasty, but since the Immortal Dynasty has arrived, there is no reason for you to spend the night outside the city. If you do not mind, please come into the city for a chat."

As he spoke, he stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.

Seeing this, Lan He did not rush to respond.

At this moment, Lan Ying stepped forward, leaned close to his side, and whispered, "The Lonely Moon Dynasty is also one of the super dynasties. Although it doesn't rank among the top ten, its foundation is not bad. It is said that they have an ancestor at the Life Profound Realm who is in charge."

She paused, then added, "But those old guys can't get into this Hundred Dynasties Battlefield."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lin's expression changed slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

Lan He waved his hand and said calmly, "Brother Mu, there's no need to be nervous. I am Lan He from the Immortal Dynasty. Since we are both super dynasties, we may need to look out for each other in this ancient battlefield in the future. There's no need to be so tense as soon as we meet."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faint outlines of buildings visible inside the city gate, and continued:

"This Rock City is quite large, more than enough to accommodate the people of two great dynasties. If Brother Mu doesn't mind, my Immortal Dynasty can find a place to stay within the city, and we can leave each other alone."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ying glanced at Lan He with some surprise, but didn't say anything more.

Mu Lin was slightly taken aback, then his smile became even more sincere.

He naturally knew that the Immortal Dynasty was one of the ten super dynasties, and its foundation was far superior to that of the Lonely Moon Dynasty. If this young man really wanted to seize Rock City, they might not be able to stop him. But the other party took the initiative to back down, giving him plenty of face.

This composure impressed him.

"Brother Lan, you flatter me," Mu Lin said, cupping his hands. "It is an honor for my Lonely Moon Dynasty that the Immortal Dynasty is willing to condescend to us. There is a rather spacious courtyard in the city, originally prepared as a place of lodging for the disciples of Lonely Moon. Now, we will vacate it for the esteemed members of the Immortal Dynasty. What do you say?"

Lan He nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Mu."

Mu Lin stepped aside to lead the way: "Please."

Lan He said no more and led the people of the Immortal Dynasty into Yan City.
