Chapter 53: Foreign Battlefield

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Ye Qingxiao came to his senses and said carelessly:

"I will definitely go!"

"It's a pity you've become a Fortune Cultivator now and can't go with me, but don't worry, Qingxuan. I'll bring back some good things for you then, hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan was not surprised by Ye Qingxiao's choice.

Although Ye Qingxiao's talent was better than his, it was only that of a five-element spiritual root. Breaking through to Nascent Soul would not be a problem in the future, and there was a sliver of hope for advancing to the Soul Transformation realm, but his ceiling was basically reached.

If he did not go to the Foreign Battlefield, Ye Qingxiao would have no possibility of further progress.

Ye Qingxiao had his own path to walk, and as his brother, Ye Qingxuan naturally would not stop him.

After a moment of silence, Ye Qingxuan took out a jade talisman and handed it to Ye Qingxiao: "This jade talisman can unleash a full-power strike equivalent to the early Nascent Soul realm. Keep it for self-defense!"

This jade talisman had been bestowed upon him by Manager Bai of the Fortune Cultivator Institute before he returned home last time, and he had never had the chance to use it.

Now that his Fortune Realm had just taken shape and his true body would not leave the Profound Heaven Sect, this talisman would be of little use to him, so it was better to give it to Ye Qingxiao for self-defense! Ye Qingxiao knew the value of the talisman. Although he was somewhat surprised that Ye Qingxuan could possess such a treasure, he did not intend to accept it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Ye Qingxuan spoke first to stop him:

"Take it! After I became a Fortune Cultivator, I won't have the chance to leave the Profound Heaven Sect. This talisman is better given to you for self-defense. As brothers, we shouldn't place too much importance on such external objects."

Since arriving in the Di Xuan Realm, because he liked solitude, he had very few true brothers or friends, so he naturally valued Ye Qingxiao very highly.

After hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he reached out to accept the jade talisman Ye Qingxuan gave him. He did not say any polite words of thanks, but joked: "Don't worry, I have great fortune and a long life; I will come back alive!"

Seeing that Ye Qingxiao had accepted the talisman and hearing his words, Ye Qingxuan simply nodded silently.

The Foreign Battlefield was different from the Di Xuan Realm; it could be said to be fraught with danger everywhere, otherwise, elixirs for restoring spiritual power, healing injuries, and purification at all levels would not have become so sought-after.

Seeing the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Ye Qingxiao looked left and right, suddenly noticed Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base, and exclaimed in surprise: "Qingxuan, how did you break through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm?"

You must know, he had a five-element spiritual root and had only just broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing that Ye Qingxiao had noticed his outward cultivation, Ye Qingxuan casually explained: "Good luck. I contracted a late-stage first-tier Fortune Realm. After the Fortune Realm took shape, the feedback of primordial essence was abundant, so I seamlessly broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."

His true cultivation was early-stage Purple Mansion, but to avoid exposing his abnormalities, Ye Qingxuan had specifically sought a spell called Turtle Breath Technique from the Earth Immortal inheritance during his seclusion to use as a transition.

A Turtle Breath Technique perfected to the peak level was enough to prevent cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm from seeing through Ye Qingxuan's true cultivation.

In the early stages, the people he encountered were at most at the Nascent Soul realm, so the Turtle Breath Technique was sufficient.

Once he broke through to Golden Core and could cultivate the seed of the divine ability "Deceiving Heaven" to condense divine abilities, the concealment effect would be even better; at least then, no one below the Void Emptiness realm would be able to see through his cultivation.

Hearing about Ye Qingxuan's experiences, Ye Qingxiao sincerely felt happy for him: "That's great. In that case, your path ahead will be much easier!"

He knew the many things Ye Qingxuan had to endure as a Fortune Cultivator, but he believed Ye Qingxuan would definitely persist and walk a path of his own.

Looking up at the sky, Ye Qingxiao spoke to bid farewell:

"Now that you have successfully emerged from seclusion, I am at ease. I will prepare to depart for the Foreign Battlefield tomorrow. Wait for me to return before I come to see you again!"

If it were not for waiting for Ye Qingxuan to emerge from seclusion and confirm his safety, he would have gone to the Foreign Battlefield long ago.

Ye Qingxuan nodded and patted Ye Qingxiao's shoulder:

"Go! The Foreign Battlefield is no trivial matter. You must act carefully, do not trust others easily, and stay safe!"

Ye Qingxiao nodded vigorously, reached out, and put his arm around Ye Qingxuan's neck just as he did when they were children, saying carelessly: "Don't worry! I'm not a child anymore. Besides, I've always had good luck since I was young; nothing bad will happen!"

"I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back and find you!"

Having finished speaking, Ye Qingxiao let go and flew away on his sword toward the distance.

Watching Ye Qingxiao's retreating figure, Ye Qingxuan spoke softly only after a long time:

"Qingxiao, take care! Come back alive!"

Meanwhile.

Inside the Profound Heaven Sect, atop a simple pavilion on the peak of Profound Heaven Peak.

The Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, Cen Zhe, stood with his hands behind his back, frowning and looking toward the direction beyond the sky, with the Dao's rhyme constantly flowing in his eyes.

Not long after, Cen Zhe suddenly spoke:

"How is it?"

As soon as Cen Zhe finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, saying in a deep voice:

"That old fellow, Old Yao, still hasn't been able to calculate the specific movements of the powerful ones from the Green Demon Clan who disappeared. He can only deduce that those disappeared powerful ones of the Green Demon Clan have not moved far from the Green Demon Realm!"

"My true body is still at the Foreign Battlefield, helping others seal the realm gate of the Green Demon Realm, and no anomalies have been discovered for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Cen Zhe's frown deepened.

He felt that the sudden disappearance of those powerful ones from the Green Demon Clan must mean they were plotting some conspiracy, but within the Di Xuan Realm, not a single powerful one skilled in calculation could deduce the specific movements of the Green Demon Clan.

Currently, the two Mahayana-level Grand Elders of his Profound Heaven Sect were occupied: Grand Elder Yao Qiu was fully calculating the movements of the Green Demon Clan, while the true body of the other Grand Elder, Tong Yanye, was participating in the sealing of the Green Demon Realm's gate at the Foreign Battlefield and investigating the Foreign Battlefield at the same time.

But a considerable amount of time had passed, and there was still no result.

"Enough! If we can't calculate it, we can't calculate it. When those rats show their heads again, we'll just cut them down!"

Having finished speaking, a flash of sharpness passed through Cen Zhe's eyes, and a crisp sound of sword resonance rose from within his body, the fluctuation shaking the surrounding space until it constantly cracked.

But it was firmly suppressed by Cen Zhe and did not spread throughout the entire Profound Heaven Sect! Hearing Cen Zhe's words, Grand Elder Tong Yanye nodded in agreement, then immediately asked:

"Now that the centennial recruitment ceremony is approaching, should we recall some disciples to maintain the sect's recruitment ceremony?"

Hearing Tong Yanye's words, Cen Zhe pondered for a moment and then stated firmly: "Recall half of the core disciples. This time, the sect's recruitment ceremony will be presided over by Yan Lu, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Also, none of the elders down there should slack off this time. Any elder-level person must recruit at least one disciple to cultivate."

Tong Yanye nodded in agreement: "That is good. As for the sect's affairs, your arrangements and planning are sufficient; leave the Foreign Battlefield to me and Old Yao!"

Upon hearing this, Cen Zhe still expressed some concern:

"The sect's affairs are a minor issue and do not require too much attention; leave them to Yan Lu to handle when the time comes. As for you, you must act carefully at the Foreign Battlefield, remain vigilant, and do not let your guard down!"

"I have a feeling that the people of the Green Demon Clan giving up the Foreign Battlefield so easily must mean they have a more shocking plan in the shadows!"
