Chapter 182: Entering the Ancient Battlefield

In the boundless wilderness.

It appears calm, yet danger lurks everywhere.

Here, there are stubborn, undying battle souls, vicious beasts born from absorbing death energy, and many remnants of restrictions passed down from ancient times.

These restrictions are both overt and covert, and their power is generally extremely formidable; one careless step and you could stumble into these restrictions and encounter danger.

However, for Wang Jianqiang, these have not the slightest impact.

His cultivation has now reached the Golden Core Mid Stage.

The insight limit of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze has likewise reached the Spirit Severing Mid Stage.

Not only is his vision astonishing, but he can also discern restrictions.

When encountering battle souls and vicious beasts, he can spot them from afar and flee in advance.

As for restrictions, they have nowhere to hide.

As long as his luck isn't so bad that he stumbles into a death trap that would be hard to find even if one were intentionally searching for it, he can walk sideways through the wilderness with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

A faint Golden Light shines within his pupils, and his speed is astonishing.

Wherever he passes...

Battle souls, vicious beasts, and the restrictions hidden in the shadows have nowhere to hide.

Under this near-reckless flight.

In just five short days, he covered the distance that Long Aoyu and the others had taken over a month to fly.

Wang Jianqiang flies through the air, his eyes glowing with Golden Light as he looks ahead.

From dozens of miles away, he locks onto that pitch-black space rift.

A moment later.

He arrives before the space rift.

This space rift is nearly thirty zhang long and about ten zhang wide.

Looking inside, it is a deep, dark color that makes one feel a sense of panic just by looking at it.

This space rift is not very stable.

The interior is filled with chaotic Space Power sufficient to tear apart an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Thinking about it, Mu Lingxi must have suffered quite a bit when she crossed this space rift.

Thinking of this.

Wang Jianqiang cannot help but grit his teeth, suddenly doubting whether he let Long Aoyu die too easily.

Afterwards, he does not use Spiritual Power to protect his body and walks directly into the space rift just like that.

The next moment, a wave of Space Power sweeps over.

It pulls him as he flies toward the depths of the space.

At the same time.

Bursts of chaotic Space Power fall upon him like blades.

Dense golden patterns appear on his body; after the chaotic Space Power strikes him, it is as if it hit immortal gold, setting off a series of clanging sounds.

It fails to leave even the slightest scar on his body.

Wang Jianqiang is very confident in the hardness of his body; from beginning to end, his expression is calm, and he has not even utilized his Talent Divine Ability.

A moment later.

His eyes brighten as he flashes out from mid-air.

This is an abandoned space.

On the ground, there are dilapidated buildings everywhere; looking out, it is a scene of broken walls and ruins, and an ancient aura permeates the air.

He takes out a Sound Transmission Talisman and attempts to send a message to Mu Lingxi.

Whether it is because of the great hall where Mu Lingxi is located, or because the distance is too great.

The sound transmission does not succeed.

"This Ancient Battlefield is vast, and I have no idea in which direction Mu Lingxi is."

"Never mind, I'll just search for her first."

Wang Jianqiang ponders for a moment, chooses a direction at random, and shoots off.

Although he had long known of the dangers of this Ancient Battlefield from Long Aoyu's memories.

But having truly entered this place.

The level of danger here still surprises Wang Jianqiang.

Having flown forward for only a short quarter of an hour, he has already encountered more than a dozen Ancient Remnant Arrays.

Although these remnant arrays are highly dilapidated, even the weakest among them is enough to threaten a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

The strongest one among them is even enough to threaten a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

If not for possessing the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, which allow him to see these broken formations hidden in the shadows, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator entering this place would likely face nine deaths for one life.

It is hard to imagine that Mu Lingxi, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, entered such a dangerous place and not only did not lose her life, but even obtained a legacy.

This luck is truly heaven-defying.

Wang Jianqiang flies forward while exploring with his Spirit Sense.

Another half an hour passes.

Still, there is no sign of Mu Lingxi.

Just as he is preparing to change direction and continue searching, a complete building suddenly appears at the edge of his vision.

It is a three-story building that covers a vast area.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifts, and he shoots toward the three-story building.

As the distance shortened, the three-story building rapidly became clear in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Only then did he gradually discover something was wrong.

This three-story building was not a complete structure; it looked more like a tall tower, with its upper portion entirely destroyed, leaving only the bottom three levels.

Yet even so, compared to the other buildings seen along the flight here, this Remnant Tower could already be considered the most complete one.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang arrived before the Remnant Tower.

He circulated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze to look at the Remnant Tower.

He immediately discovered that he was unable to probe the scene inside the tower.

Looking at the tower's wide-open gate, a flash of hesitation crossed his face.

This Remnant Tower was different from the other buildings he had seen along the way that had fallen into dead silence; energy was still circulating upon the tower's body.

Moreover, the intensity was extremely high, exceeding his detection limit.

Although it very likely contained treasures left behind from the ancient era, it was even more likely to contain danger.

After some weighing of the options, he still decided to take the safe route.

The architectural style of this tower was completely different from the place where Mu Lingxi was receiving her inheritance, which he had viewed through his Attribute Panel.

His main purpose in coming here this time was to pick up Mu Lingxi and leave safely.

It was better to try not to stir up extra trouble.

In any case, he had the system; as long as he could join the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, he could obtain sufficient resources, and there was no need to take risks everywhere like other Cultivators to become stronger.

Just as Wang Jianqiang made up his mind to leave.

The tightly shut tower gate suddenly opened, and a line of three figures rushed out in a hurry.

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred as he looked at the three people.

The three were one in front and two behind, consisting of one woman and two men.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the two youths and then landed on the woman in the lead.

The woman wore a silver long dress, her figure slender and her proportions nearly perfect.

Her features were exquisite and flawless, and her delicate, supple skin was dazzlingly white.

She exuded a unique temperament, just like the vast and boundless starry sky—noble and mysterious.

"Truly a rare beauty."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and he could not help but praise her inwardly.

When Wang Jianqiang saw the three, the three also noticed Wang Jianqiang, this uninvited guest.

"Someone is here!"

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, the three were stunned for a moment, then instantly became vigilant.

Sensing the coldness radiating from the three, Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze from the woman.

He spread his hands toward the three.

"The three of you, I am just passing by this place and have no ill intentions."

As he spoke, he prepared to continue searching for Lingxi.

"Wait~"

Just at this moment, a man in blue behind the woman suddenly called out to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the man in blue, a friendly smile appearing on his face, "What advice do you have, Daoist Friend?"

The man in blue stared at Wang Jianqiang, cold light flickering in his eyes.

"You think things are quite simple, Daoist Friend."

"Having seen things you shouldn't have seen..."

"You still want to leave?"

Amidst the icy tone, he stepped forward in front of the woman, his Spiritual Power gradually becoming violent.
