Chapter 52: Major Event Part Two

In the past ten thousand years.

Any faction with a Void Realm or higher existence stationed within it is qualified to send disciples to the Outer Battlefield for trial.

The Xuantian Sect is naturally no exception; its True Disciples and Inherited Disciples spend almost all their time training in the Outer Battlefield.

Even Core Disciples are arranged to rotate and go to the Outer Battlefield for trial.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan thought of his Ancestor.

"The place my Ancestor went to must be the Outer Battlefield, right?"

With his thoughts turning, Ye Qingxuan continued reading downward.

Originally, the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Demon Realm were evenly matched, with neither side showing signs of defeat; logically, they should have remained in stalemate until one side achieved a major breakthrough in power to break the deadlock.

But something bizarre suddenly happened!

For some unknown reason, the Qing Demon Clan withdrew many of their experts without cause; once discovered by the people of the Di Xuan Realm, they were driven back in successive defeats under the counterattack.

Now, the Qing Demon Clan can only retreat to defend the Gate of the Qing Demon Realm, having lost all territory of the Outer Battlefield.

Although the Great Beings of the Di Xuan Realm did not know what had changed with the Qing Demon Clan, after a comprehensive investigation of the Outer Battlefield and ruling out the possibility of the Qing Demon Realm leaving a hidden hand, they prepared to strike while the iron was hot and drag the Outer Battlefield into the Di Xuan Realm.

However, half of the Outer Battlefield's origin is the Demon Origin of the Qing Demon Realm; without purifying the demonic energy of the Outer Battlefield completely and severing the connection between the Outer Battlefield and the Qing Demon Realm, the Great Beings of the Di Xuan Realm would be unable to forcibly pull the Outer Battlefield into the Di Xuan Realm.

Moreover, the experts of the Qing Demon Clan in the Qing Demon Realm would occasionally come out to harass and cause trouble, making everyone extremely annoyed.

Thus, after much discussion, the Mahayana cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm decided to dispatch a portion of high-level cultivators to guard the Gate of the Qing Demon Realm, blocking the experts of the Qing Demon Clan within the Qing Demon Realm.

Meanwhile, the Outer Battlefield was opened to all factions of the Di Xuan Realm, encouraging everyone to go there to kill demons derived from the origin of the Qing Demon Realm and purify the demonic energy of the Outer Battlefield.

After killing demons, their corpses and the pure origin obtained after purifying the demonic energy could be brought back to the Di Xuan Realm to receive feedback from the Di Xuan Realm's origin, thereby increasing everyone's cultivation base.

Add to this the various rare treasures and precious items that naturally exist in the Outer Battlefield! Thus, once the news broke, the five regions within the entire Di Xuan Realm were shaken; almost all cultivators rubbed their fists and sharpened their palms, preparing to make a big splash in the Outer Battlefield.

As for the four regions outside the Di Xuan Realm, due to their great distance and the absence of high-level cultivators, the news did not reach them, so they were not affected by the events of the Outer Battlefield.

This led to a sudden surge in demand for elixirs related to spiritual energy recovery, healing, and purification across all regions, including within the Xuantian Sect itself.

This was the reason Bai Wenyang asked Ye Qingxuan about his current alchemy skill level!

There was no choice; now that elixirs for spiritual energy recovery, healing, and purification were scarce, Bai Wenyang, as the team leader, faced considerable performance pressure.

After understanding all the information, Ye Qingxuan had a clear picture of the current situation in the Di Xuan Realm.

However, his current public identity is merely a small Fortune Cultivator confined to one area, so naturally, he would not go to the Outer Battlefield.

But, while everyone else goes to the Outer Battlefield to feast on meat, is it too much for him to handle logistics in the back, earn some hard-earned fees, and drink the soup? Thinking of this, a hint of a smile inevitably appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

The Outer Battlefield is vast, and the problems within it certainly cannot be solved in a short time.

During this period, what he needs to do is improve his alchemy skills, and even elevate his skills in artifact forging, array formation, and talisman crafting.

Then, using elixirs, artifacts, talismans, and arrays, he can provide excellent logistics support for everyone at the Xuantian Sect's main base, while also making a small profit from the price difference and gathering resources needed for the growth of his Grotto-Heaven and Fortune Land.

As for the Outer Battlefield? He would wait until he could condense a clone! While Ye Qingxuan was pondering, his Disciple Token vibrated again; this time it was a message from Ye Qingxiao: "Qingxuan, you have finally emerged from seclusion. Don't you know a major event has occurred in the Di Xuan Realm? Do you want me to tell you?"

Ye Qingxuan watched silently and did not reply! Only a moment passed before Ye Qingxiao sent another message:

"Qingxuan? Qingxuan? Are you there? It really is a big matter; don't you want to know?"

This time, Ye Qingxuan still did not reply.

Finally, Ye Qingxiao could not hold back and sent a transmission: "Qingxuan, oh my! I'm dying of anxiety. Wait, I'll come over and tell you!"

Seeing this message, Ye Qingxuan finally smiled and said lightly, "If you had done this earlier, wouldn't that have been fine? Why play such mysterious games?"

Afterwards, Ye Qingxuan took out his alchemy furnace, enlarged it, and ignited the Dao Fire.

He placed the demon beasts he had hunted when returning home onto the furnace to start roasting them; his family had eaten only a very small portion, so the demon beast carcass was basically still intact.

Then Ye Qingxuan took out some spiritual herbs, refined them slightly into a spice, and sprinkled it evenly over the roasted meat.

Smelling the pungent aroma of the meat, Ye Qingxuan's appetite surged; he smacked his lips and said, "What a pity! There is no wine! It seems I can consider trying to brew wine in the Fortune Land in the future."

After a long time, just as the demon beast meat was roasted to perfection, a figure hurriedly arrived from afar:

"Qingxuan, let me tell you, hey? What is that so fragrant?"

Ye Qingxiao, who had hurriedly arrived and was originally preparing to tell Ye Qingxuan about the major events happening in the Di Xuan Realm, was attracted by the roasted demon beast meat from far away.

Following the scent, Ye Qingxiao quickly arrived outside the Stone Pavilion and saw Ye Qingxuan roasting meat.

Seeing Ye Qingxiao's throat move slightly, Ye Qingxuan smiled and said:

"Sit down, stop staring blankly!"

After Ye Qingxiao came to his senses, he hurriedly sat beside Ye Qingxuan and asked:

"Qingxuan, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's question, Ye Qingxuan controlled the Dao Fire with one hand while responding to Ye Qingxiao:

"What else could it be? Just ordinary demon beast meat!"

"Demon beast meat? Can demon beast meat smell this good?"

Ye Qingxiao looked incredulous, as if he had never eaten demon beast meat before! Seeing that Ye Qingxiao did not believe him, Ye Qingxuan merely glanced at him and said nothing.

As a joke, he was, after all, an alchemist; what was wrong with roasting demon beast meat to make it smell a bit better? After the demon beast meat was roasted, Ye Qingxuan extinguished the Dao Fire; the entire piece of meat looked golden and emitted a pungent aroma! Seeing this, Ye Qingxiao standing nearby drooled, and Ye Qingxuan himself secretly swallowed his saliva.

Using magic power to separate a portion of the demon beast meat and send it to the grottoes of the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, Ye Qingxuan looked at Ye Qingxiao and said:

"What are you waiting for? Eat!"

Then he tore off a piece of demon beast meat and began to devour it; seeing this, Ye Qingxiao quickly followed suit.

Soon, the remaining demon beast meat was completely consumed by the two! After finishing the demon beast meat, Ye Qingxiao slumped onto the stone chair, let out a burp, and finally remembered his main business; he leaned over to Ye Qingxuan and said mysteriously:

"Qingxuan, a major event has occurred in the Di Xuan Realm; do you want to know about it?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan glanced at Ye Qingxiao and said indifferently, "A major event? What major event? Could it be that matter regarding the Outer Battlefield?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Qingxiao's mouth opened slightly, the words he wanted to say stopped abruptly, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Scratching his head in some impatience, Ye Qingxiao hurriedly asked, "Didn't you just emerge from seclusion? How do you know?"

"Hmm? Don't you know that a Fortune Cultivator can calculate with a pinch of his fingers and know all things under heaven?"

Ye Qingxuan feigned surprise as he looked at Ye Qingxiao, as if to say, "You don't know?" Seeing Ye Qingxuan's expression, Ye Qingxiao awkwardly scratched the back of his head: "Is that so? I haven't heard of it either! I rushed over here just to tell you!"

Then, Ye Qingxiao glanced at Ye Qingxuan again. Seeing that Ye Qingxuan remained perfectly calm, Ye Qingxiao muttered to himself:

"This fellow Qingxuan, could he be lying to me? I haven't heard that Fu Xiu possesses such abilities either."

Seeing Ye Qingxiao lost in thought, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but interrupt: "Qingxiao, are you planning to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield?"
