Chapter 782 - 874 Primordial Battlefield, Bone Token
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in excitement.
All the participants were in an uproar.
This rule was to inform everyone that external forces could be used.
This was beneficial for cultivators with low realms but significant backgrounds.
A Golden Core Realm cultivator, if equipped with a Dao Artifact, would not even fear a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
The Daoist Alliance added this rule primarily to assist Array Masters and Talisman Masters.
For both of them, the strongest abilities were arrays and talisman paper. Without these, they would be at a disadvantage in the chaotic battle.
Of course, there were certain restrictions.
Actions that severely compromised fairness were not allowed.
Firstly, you certainly couldn’t pull out a talisman paper that could contend with the Divinity Transformation Realm or Void Realm. Otherwise, which participant could be your opponent?
Of course, if you could create such a talisman paper on the spot, it would be permitted.
Additionally, concerning Magical Treasures,
using upper-grade or above Dao Artifacts was prohibited.
Arrays could only be set up to the extent that one could personally manage.
"Alright, do you all understand the rules?" Li Xianyuan asked.
"Understood," the disciples responded vociferously.
"Then, let’s begin." The thirty-six Sect Leaders waved their hands, and soon, an image of the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram appeared above the heads of all the participants, drawing everyone inside.
...
Boom!
Chen Mo’s body seemed to crash into another world. The spatial changes made it impossible for him to stabilize his figure, being haphazardly swept away.
It was unclear how much time passed.
A black hole suddenly wriggled open in mid-air.
Chen Mo fell out from the black hole, crashing to the ground. Had he not supported himself with his hands in time, he would have ended up with a mouthful of dirt.
However, this slight soreness was insignificant to him. With a roll, he climbed up, and then he saw an ancient world, akin to the Primordial Era.
This was a vast, boundless ancient world, with towering ancient trees standing tall and giant mountains that seemed to reach the sky clouds in the distance. The entire expanse brimmed with an ancient, primitive aura.
Outside, eight images appeared in the void.
These eight images, the first seven were the figures of Xiao Qingtian, Xiao Jiu, Chen Mo, Lan Chengting, Bai Hua, Xuan Cheng, and Yu Jinwu.
The last image switched back and forth among the remaining participants.
Evidently, the seven who first reached the end of the Path of Immortality received extraordinary attention.
"Is this the Primordial Battlefield? The place where immortals battled in the War of the Gods."
Many, through these eight beams of light, gazed upon this ancient and primitive world in astonishment.
This is because, after this war, the Heavenly Court was established. Since then, to become immortal, one must cultivate to the Ninth Realm, undergo the Immortal Tribulation, and after surviving this tribulation, achieve immortality and ascend to the ranks of the immortals.
"Could there be an Immortal Artifact Secret Realm on the Primordial Battlefield?" a curious disciple asked.
"Don’t even think about it. Even if there were, after tens of thousands of years, it would have been long taken by Daoism. There are no demon beasts here, only some oppressive presences, making it a trial ground," an elder explained.
"This Primordial Battlefield is so vast, how long will it take to find a thousand bone tokens? Isn’t this like searching for a needle in a haystack?"
"You don’t understand. The third round not only tests participants’ strength but also their luck. Those with profound fortune will have the bone token delivered to them even without searching."
No sooner were the words out, someone shouted that Xiao Qingtian, while picking treasure medicine in the forest, discovered a bone token in the soil.
Simultaneously, a loud voice echoed through the Primordial Battlefield.
"Congratulations to Shangqing Sect disciple Xiao Qingtian for obtaining the first Daoist Alliance bone token."
After the loud declaration, all the participants on the Primordial Battlefield became aware of Xiao Qingtian’s location.
"Isn’t this similar to the sect’s assessment competition? Disciples of various branches intend to target me, and if I were to obtain a bone token now, it would definitely draw them over to deal with me," Chen Mo murmured.
He flew up a towering ancient tree, its leaves as large as a person.
Chen Mo lay down on one of the leaves and used the Spirit Seal to contact Xiao Jiu, summoning her to gather together.
Indeed, when they entered, everyone’s location was scattered.
Fortunately, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu had a contract, making it relatively easy to reunite.
Three hours later, Xiao Jiu found her way over.
Chen Mo invited Xiao Jiu to join him on the tree.
"Master, aren’t we going to search for bone tokens?" Xiao Jiu asked as she sat on a leaf beside Chen Mo.
"It’s still early. We’ll snatch them from others later."
Not to mention that in this vast world, it would require time and effort to search and protect them, it would be better to seize two bone tokens in the last day or two.
Moreover, he was already a target of many. If he obtained a bone token now, exposing his location, he would be besieged.
A group of one to two hundred could be managed.
If it were five to six hundred or nearly a thousand, he couldn’t handle it.
"As the master commands," Xiao Jiu replied with a cheerful grin.
"Then stand guard for me while I cultivate for a bit." Chen Mo wondered if he could cultivate the Nine Orifice Star Universe Skill within the next two days.
If successful, it would further enhance his physical strength.
"Alright." Xiao Jiu nodded her head.
...
Other participants adopted Chen Mo’s strategy of waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, some were resting, others were cultivating.
The places where bone tokens were hidden were unusually varied.
Some were hidden in trees.
Some in stones.
Others in water.
As long as you were within a zhang of a bone token, you could sense it.
One day later.
Out of a thousand bone tokens, over seven hundred had been unearthed.
Around these seven hundred plus unearthed bone tokens, fierce battles were erupting.
Some were not particularly powerful but excelled at organizing, gathering dozens to form a small team specifically to snatch others’ bone tokens, ensuring every team member had a token.
The lowest among these dozens was at Golden Core Perfection.
There were also over ten at the Early and Middle Stage Nascent Soul, these individuals united, with their trump cards, could contend even with Late Nascent Soul cultivators.
If met with Nascent Soul Perfection, if they advanced and retreated together, they wouldn’t be afraid.
Of course, picking soft targets was their preference; they wouldn’t trouble these individuals unless absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, not far from this group, Ice Spirit was searching for materials to create Tier Five talisman paper when she turned over a stone to find a bone token underneath.
"Congratulations to Shenxiao Sect disciple Ice Spirit for obtaining a bone token."
The loud sound reverberated across the entire Primordial Battlefield.
Simultaneously, Ice Spirit’s position was exposed to everyone’s view.
"Brothers, we’ve got work."
"It’s quite close to us."
"Ice Spirit seems to be at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, not much of a threat."
