As Qin Yichen entered, a glimmer of determination flashed through Long Qingyao’s eyes. In the next moment, her slender legs moved slightly as she followed closely behind.
[Damn it, I don’t want to participate in this bloody Imperial Dynasties Assembly!]
In the blink of an eye, only Liu Yun remained before the Array. Watching the two figures about to disappear, he could not help but roar in his heart.
However, upon sensing several gazes falling upon him, Liu Yun’s body trembled imperceptibly. Afterwards, his expression became incomparably grief-stricken, and like someone heading to the execution ground, he arduously moved his steps toward the Transport Array.
Compared to the one out of ten being alive in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, it was still better than having his identity discovered by a group of covetous people from the Gathering Space Tower.
He was the Young Pavilion Master of the Rainbow Light Pavilion. If he fell into the Gathering Space Tower’s hands, he simply dared not imagine what he would suffer through.
As Liu Yun entered, the light within the Transport Array blazed forth. Piercing white light flooded Qin Yichen and the others’ vision. In the next instant, a slight sensation of dizziness surged through their minds due to the transportation.
…
The location where the Imperial Dynasties Assembly was held was an ancient space left behind from antiquity. According to legend, this had once been an ancient battlefield where earth-shattering great battles had erupted!
As for the two sides of that great battle, with the passage of time, even ancient records contained no documentation of them. Two Forces that dwarfed all other Forces.
In this ancient battlefield, countless world-shocking experts had fallen. Therefore, within this space, countless treasures lay quietly dormant, silently awaiting those with the fate to discover them.
Ever since tens of thousands of years ago, when this broken space was discovered and designated as the battlefield for the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, countless fortunate individuals had obtained inheritances within. They had subsequently soared to great heights, emerging from the incomparably cruel Imperial Dynasties Assembly and making their names resound.
Of course, compared to these fortunate individuals, more genius figures from various Imperial Dynasties could ultimately only become vengeful spirits in the ancient battlefield, dying in this foreign land, reduced to stepping stones on others’ glorious paths, with no one to collect their remains.
…
In the ancient battlefield space, above a certain dense forest, a section of space suddenly began to distort.
Immediately after, that patch of distorted space was torn open by a dazzling pillar of light. The light pillar directly shot onto a certain mountain peak within the dense forest.
After a moment, the light pillar gradually dissipated, and three blurred figures appeared within it.
These three figures were Qin Yichen’s group!
Qin Yichen was not someone without experience. The instant the light pillar dissipated, he immediately circulated his Yuan Energy to protect his body, his figure explosively shooting out from within.
The Imperial Dynasties Assembly was rumoured to be so terrifying. He had to maintain vigilance. Otherwise, it was possible he would not even know how he died.
When Qin Yichen’s figure swept out, Long Qingyao followed closely behind. The last one, Liu Yun, wore a gloomy expression as he walked out slowly and deliberately.
After the radiance scattered and their vision gradually cleared, an unfamiliar world had already appeared in their line of sight.
The place where they stood could be considered a dense forest. Looking around, they simply could not see the end.
What made Qin Yichen’s pupils contract was that above this dense forest, countless bottomless ravines thousands of metres deep were spread throughout!
These ravines did not seem naturally formed. Rather, they looked more like some terrifyingly extreme battle had forcibly destroyed this place into such a state!
Even with lush trees dozens of feet tall standing proudly, they could not obstruct the ancient and vicissitudinous aura pervading this world.
[Such vigorous World Energy…] Qin Yichen’s gaze swept around once, and he immediately detected keenly that the World Energy in this space had reached a rather astonishing degree!
He merely took a deep breath, and immediately felt a surging World Energy flow through his mouth and nose into his body. Finally, with the circulation of the Spirit Body Technique, it transformed into pure Yuan Energy that dispersed throughout.
At this moment, even with his willpower, his eyes could not help but surge with a trace of shock.
Even the World Energy in the Feng Family, and even the Lu Clan’s territory, paled by more than one grade in comparison. If one could cultivate here long-term, that speed would absolutely far exceed cultivation in the Imperial Dynasties!
[No wonder so many geniuses, despite clearly knowing the dangers of the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, still flocked to participate one after another!]
Long Qingyao had also discovered this point. The shock in her beautiful eyes was not the slightest bit weaker than Qin Yichen’s.
At this time, the only one without any particular reaction was the Young Pavilion Master of the Rainbow Light Pavilion, Liu Yun!
The resources the Rainbow Light Pavilion had consumed for his sake were not a small number. Some High Grade World Energy Gathering Arrays contained World Energy not inferior to this place. To elevate his cultivation level, the Rainbow Light Pavilion Master had expended no small amount of resources on him.
However, Liu Yun had absolutely no concept of the consumption of such an Array. He was completely unaware that each session of what he considered closed-door cultivation consumed an enormously vast fortune.
“We’ve already entered the ancient battlefield. Now, we should hurry to Heart Trial City!”
Qin Yichen’s gaze turned toward the not-too-distant Liu Yun, whose expression was quite ugly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly in an arc.
Heart Trial City.
This was the only city within this ancient battlefield.
All participants in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly had to gather at Heart Trial City. Then, they would uniformly enter the core region of the ancient battlefield.
If someone had not obtained a quota, naturally they wouldn’t be qualified to enter the core region.
Just as Liu Yun was preparing to complain tediously, Qin Yichen’s next sentence directly made him go silent.
“If you complain to me again, I don’t mind if we go our separate ways.”
Liu Yun’s mouth, just about to speak, gaped wide open. Though he was arrogant about his own strength, he was even more clearly aware that when it came to survival skills, he absolutely couldn’t compare to this youth before him who had so many cunning tricks.
Moreover, looking at Qin Yichen’s expression, he was absolutely not joking…
If he was abandoned alone here, forget whether he would be ambushed and killed, just not starving to death would be a difficult matter!
The dignified Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion, if he starved to death in this ancient battlefield, what an embarrassing and laughable matter that would be!
Qin Yichen’s gaze swept around the surroundings once. His brows could not help but furrow slightly, because he discovered that within the dense forest before him, several obscure auras were concealed.
The battlefield psychology begins immediately. Every hidden presence represents a potential threat vector, or opportunity.
“Let’s go. First find a well-hidden place to assess the situation. This location is far too exposed.”
If he could avoid some trouble, Qin Yichen naturally was not willing to recklessly take action. Immediately, he spoke to Long Qingyao.
He had already concluded how he should act. In an environment where death was permanent and resurrection impossible, every battle carried weight. Unlike controlled training scenarios, here, emotional control becomes the ultimate weapon. Hesitation would equal elimination, overconfidence meant death.
His eyes swept across the fractured landscape once more, reading the terrain like a strategic manuscript. Each ravine told a story of incomprehensible power, each twisted tree a testament to survival against overwhelming odds.
The ancient battlefield does not care about one’s reputation or background. It only recognizes one currency: adaptability.
