Chapter 614 - 396: Medicine Emperor
The emergence of Huangfu Qingyang’s field!
Wei Fan did not know what this meant, nor had he heard of the person Huangfu Qingyang.
Feng Hua said, "Huangfu Qingyang was once a peerless powerhouse in the Eastern Domain, his cultivation exceeded that of a Martial Saint, he was a Martial Emperor powerhouse."
Wei Fan finally showed emotion; he didn’t know how terrifying a Martial Emperor powerhouse was, but he knew that when Qi Daozhen had cultivated the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations to the Seventh Transformation, his cultivation reached the Martial Emperor Realm, which meant this was a peerless powerhouse on the same level as Qi Daozhen.
The emergence of such a person’s field would certainly be a sensational event, and perhaps it held the complete inheritance of a Martial Emperor, which indeed counted as a good thing.
"He also had a nickname, Medicine Emperor."
Zhou Shen added, "He achieved Dao through medicine, and his skills in cultivating spirit medicines and alchemy were unrivaled in an era. Many elixir recipes today were created by Huangfu Qingyang.
He was obsessed with alchemy, and since many spirit medicines were hard to find, he cultivated them in his field. It is said he even had things like the Celestial Saint Flower planted there, and the Holy Blood Fruit was something he cultivated from nothing."
Wei Fan understood the reason Zhou Shen and Feng Hua came to find him; now both he and Feng Hua were going to attempt breaking into the Saint Realm, but even for him, he was not confident of a hundred percent success. If he could find a Celestial Saint Flower in the field of Medicine Emperor Huangfu Qingyang, he could directly become a Martial Saint powerhouse.
Even without the Celestial Saint Flower, he could search for Holy Blood Fruit or Nirvana Fruit, which were auxiliary spirit medicines for breaking into the Martial Saint Realm.
As a Martial Emperor who achieved Dao through medicine, he possibly had elixirs unknown to the world that could directly achieve the Martial Saint Realm.
Zhou Shen shook his head, "Not solely for that reason; Huangfu Qingyang’s field emerged in the Demon Fiend’s territory, and there has already been a great battle between the Martial Saints and Demon Saints of the Treasure Flower Continent over this, ultimately deciding that both Human and Demon sides can enter, and whatever can be gained depends on one’s ability in the field.
The Treasure Flower Continent Demon Hunter Sub-Hall is worried that their Territory Guardian War Generals might suffer losses after entering, so only then did they request aid from demon hunter organizations in neighboring continents, asking each continent to send Territory Guardian War Generals over..."
If it were merely the emergence of a field presenting an opportunity, the Demon Hunter Organization wouldn’t send Territory Guardian War Generals to participate; the main reason is that it involves the Demon Fiend.
One can imagine, in Huangfu Qingyang’s field, it is sure to be a bloody feast of treasure seizure between Humans and Demons; the Demon Hunter Organization would request aid from nearby continents, and surely the Demon Fiend side would too.
"Since it’s not an issue of our Beiding Continent, you can refuse, but I suggest you go; Huangfu Qingyang, as a Martial Emperor who achieved Dao through medicine, his field definitely has treasures assisting in breaking through to the Saint Realm.
With your combat prowess, not saying you can sweep across the Human and Demon Races, but there should not be much danger."
He didn’t dare say Wei Fan would face no danger at all; the Human Race has Demons, and naturally so does the Demon Race, and in this situation, the enemies won’t be limited to just Demon Fiends.
In case a Celestial Saint Flower, which can directly break through to the Martial Saint, appears, he couldn’t predict how fierce the battle would be; even those around you might make a move.
"Won’t Martial Saints enter the field?" Wei Fan asked.
Zhou Shen was unaware that Wei Fan had eliminated Tian Chunqiu’s clone; he was confident in facing anyone below Martial Saint, but if Martial Saints and Demon Saints were to be involved, then he would need to reconsider.
Zhou Shen shook his head, "Huangfu Qingyang’s field has been extant for countless millennia, long since decayed beyond being able to accommodate someone of the Martial Saint’s level.
If Martial Saints and Demon Saints could enter, the things inside would have long been looted, and wouldn’t still be up for grabs for Martial Kings like you."
A Martial Emperor’s field, not to mention a Martial King, even Martial Saints would crack their heads wanting to enter and seek opportunities, but alas, Huangfu Qingyang was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, his field can no longer accommodate someone of the Martial Saint’s level.
"When do we set off?"
Wei Fan had already decided to go; attempting a breakthrough to Martial Saint was uncertain, but if he could obtain some spirit medicine, he wouldn’t mind a trip to Treasure Flower Continent, and he also needed to prepare to break through to Martial Saint’s power; since there will also be Demon Fiends appearing there, it would be an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
"We have to depart now; others have already headed to the Transmission Domain Gate!"
Wei Fan was surprised, "There are others?"
Feng Hua said, "You might not understand the profound impact Huangfu Qingyang has on the Five Great Domains. His field’s emergence has many Martial Kings rushing in; after all, the mortality rate for breaking into the Saint Realm is high, better to risk life trying your luck in his field, perhaps easily becoming a Martial Saint."
Zhou Shen handed a waist token to Wei Fan, "If you’ve gained something, there might be trouble upon leaving; if Demon Saints seek trouble, you can use this token to contact Treasure Flower Continent’s Demon Hunter Organization Martial Saints, and they will protect you."
Unexpectedly, Wei Fan should be slaughtering all around in Huangfu Qingyang’s field, and there might be trouble upon exit; this token is Wei Fan’s assurance, enabling him to slay confidently.
To the Demon Hunter Organization, opportunities aren’t the priority; the main goal is to kill Demon Fiends entering the field—this event will be a collision of sub-Saint level experts from both Human and Demon Races across several nearby continents. The treasure struggle is secondary; capturing enemy talents is crucial.
To let the Demons of the Wilderness, give the Five Great Domains another shock; Wei Fan continued staying on Beiding Continent, unsure how many more Demon Saint descendants he needed to kill.
Wei Fan and Feng Hua rushed to Celestial Star City at the transmission domain gate location; he saw many Territory Guardian War Generals from the Vajra Sect, including Xuanwu, Scar, Golden Roc, and others, and some not seen in the Vajra Sect events.
Wei Fan’s gaze swept, they were all Peak Martial Kings with the Martial King Ninth Level Cultivation.
"Is Wei Fan actually a Territory Guardian War General?"
"If Wei Fan goes, we’ll be much safer!"
Wei Fan hadn’t disguised himself; he appeared in his true form and was immediately recognized by the Territory Guardian War Generals.
His fame in Beiding Continent now was not inferior to that of Martial Saint powerhouses. Outside Beiding Continent, even a Martial Saint like Zhou Shen didn’t have a reputation as resounding as his.
He had been noticed countless times on his way here.
"We didn’t expect that we’ve long known the renowned Wei Fan, hahaha... Greetings, Brother Wei!"
Scar, Golden Roc, and a few others stepped forward to speak with Wei Fan. Seeing Feng Hua next to Wei Fan, they immediately guessed Wei Fan was the one with Nether Fire, since there weren’t many strong warriors appearing out of nowhere without reason.
Wei Fan responded politely to each of them; being chosen as a Territory Guardian War General meant the Demon Hunter Organization had already tested their character, so there wouldn’t be any major issues.
"We’re probably just tagging along for a free transcontinental transmission to broaden our horizons; the main force is still Brother Wei!" joked Scar.
They just wanted to try their luck in Treasure Flower Continent without really expecting much gain. The key point was that the trip to Treasure Flower Continent was considered a mission, so the cost of the transmission Domain Gate was covered by the Demon Hunter Organization.
In the Five Great Domains, many Martial Kings spend their lives never leaving their continent because they can’t afford the spirit crystal cost for transcontinental transmission. For instance, this trip to Treasure Flower Continent typically requires ten thousand spirit crystals for a round trip.
Such a high cost is beyond what most elite Martial Kings, like Territory Guardian War Generals, can bear. Even if they could afford it, they wouldn’t spend their entire fortune just to hurry along.
So, most in this group of Territory Guardian War Generals aimed to take advantage of a free transcontinental transmission.
Fire Cloud Cave wants to kill Wei Fan, but every time they only send one or two people—not because they lack experts, but because they can’t afford the transmission Domain Gate fee. Sending ten Martial Kings would require a million spirit crystals for a round trip.
Even a powerful Holy Sect like Fire Cloud Cave finds it painful to expend a million spirit crystals.
Among the Five Great Domains, there are many forces with transmission Domain Gates, but only an ancient, powerful force like the Demon Hunter Organization can establish transcontinental transmission gates across the continents.
Soon, the spirit crystals for the transcontinental transmission Domain Gate were filled, and Wei Fan and the others stepped inside one by one.
This was Wei Fan’s first time using a transmission Domain Gate, and he felt the passage long. In the past, he’d step in and instantly arrive at his destination.
But this time, it took a long while before he saw the other side of the Domain Gate.
"No wonder it costs fifty thousand spirit crystals per transmission. Such a distance requires even a full-powered flight by a Martial King powerhouse several months."
As soon as he stepped out of the Domain Gate, Wei Fan was immediately greeted by a dense flood of essence qi. The richness of essence qi in Treasure Flower Continent clearly exceeded that of Beiding Continent, a fact Feng Hua had mentioned. Beiding Continent, belonging to the Eastern Domain, was one of the poorest continents in essence qi density.
Not far away was a majestic city, even larger than Celestial Star City. That was where the Demon Hunter Organization’s Sub-Hall in Treasure Flower Continent was located; it was considered the most prosperous place in Treasure Flower Continent.
"I am Shangguan Fei. Greetings to friends from Beiding Continent!"
Since Wei Fan and his group were on official duty to support Treasure Flower Continent, the Demon Hunter Organization there had arranged for someone to receive them.
"Please follow me!"
Wei Fan and the others hadn’t yet had a good look at the sky of Treasure Flower Continent when they were led by Shangguan Fei into another transmission Domain Gate.
A day later, guided by Shangguan Fei, the group found themselves in a mountain range with ancient trees soaring to the sky.
It seemed a terrifying battle had taken place here, with many areas left in ruins, yellow sand covering the ground, mountains shattered, and ravines crisscrossing.
In some places, residual powerful sword intent or demon qi lingered, making even peak Martial Kings feel a chill and need to steer clear.
"This is where Martial Saints and Demon Saints clashed. They must have fought in the sky, and the ripples of their power struck the earth. If the battle took place on the ground, this area would be a land of annihilation," someone said with a shudder.
Following Shangguan Fei for a while longer, they avoided areas emitting terrifying qi fluctuations as they arrived at a spot where towering demon qi pierced the clouds.
"So many Demon Kings!" Wei Fan’s eyes lit up.
This sight indicated a substantial number of Demon Kings ahead. Slaying these Demon Kings alone would suffice to impact his power in the Martial Saint Realm.
After flying a while longer, the group reached a not-too-large plain.
