Chapter 3053: Abyssal Battlefield, Continuing the Investigation

Seeing that Xia Duo was interested in the Elf Mages of the Illuminati, Gu Ke'er shook his head apologetically, "I haven't even been to the Eternal Night Battlefield, so how could I have seen them?"

He then looked at the other members of the Seven Dun Mage Association present, and the others also shook their heads one after another, "I haven't been to the Eternal Night Battlefield either."

"I have been to the Eternal Night Battlefield, but I only did logistics work and didn't see them. As for why they are called the Illuminati, I do know that; it is said that the squad was originally founded by a Law Book Divine Envoy. They originally intended to establish a group to promote the Dao, but the war on the Eternal Night Battlefield was tense, so they immediately threw themselves into the battlefield, and have remained there until now."

After finishing, this Mage added an extra point, "This Illuminati was initially composed of one Law Book Divine Envoy and four Holy Sword Divine Envoys. Later, one of the Holy Sword Divine Envoys sacrificed himself, and only then was an Elf Mage added. It is rumored that that Elf Mage is highly skilled in the Soul-Binding Spell and can greatly restrain demons."

Mentioning the Soul-Binding Spell, Xia Duo also recalled his experience entering the Dream Abyss with Taide's Divine Envoy squad. At that time, he had been a mere bystander for almost the entire duration, only managing to bind a portion of the demon's essence at the very end.

It was precisely because of this final performance that Taide's attitude toward him changed drastically, from calling him a "mortal" at every turn at the beginning, to "Mage Xia Duo" later on.

The fact that he was able to obtain Taide's Holy Seal later was largely due to this incident, and subsequently summoning Taide to purify the Shenyuan Zhidi on the Main Plane further deepened the connection between the two, which led to him asking the other party to help investigate the Illuminati.

According to Taide, demons cannot be killed by conventional means; even if killed temporarily, they will still be resurrected in the Abyss, so the best way to deal with demons is to seal their essence and then bring them back to the Holy City for purification.

The second method is to gradually wear down their essence during battle and then kill them, but this process is relatively long, and demons are not completely brainless; when they realize they might die, they will also flee.

Of course, the premise of both wearing down a demon's essence in battle and sealing it to bring back to the Holy City is combat. Fighting is taking place on the Eternal Night Battlefield at every moment, and the Divine Envoys are the absolute main force.

But if there could be more Spellcasters who have mastered the Soul-Binding Spell, the war would also be easier.

Although there are many demons in the Abyss, they are not truly infinite, and even if they were truly infinite, as long as the Abyss where they exist is wiped out, they would naturally cease to exist.

As for whether they will evolve again later, that is a matter for the future.

The existence of the Boundless Wilderness has already proven that the Abyss is not indestructible. Xia Duo's main purpose for this trip is to investigate the Illuminati, but there is also an incidental goal, which is what he previously promised Taide: to teach the Soul-Binding Spell to the Mages of the Holy City.

Perhaps this bit of help from him will be the final straw on the scales of the war between the Kingdom of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss. Regardless of whether Xia Duo is subjectively willing or not, in reality, demons are the enemies of all civilizations, and that naturally includes the Main Plane.

Especially in the Drow War a few years ago, the Drow summoned demons on a large scale, which has already attracted the attention of the Abyss. And now, Demon Descendants have obtained permission from the Northland Alliance to openly operate in the Northland.

Demon Descendants are not equal to demons, but in the long run, whether it is researching Demon Bloodlines or attempting to develop new combat power, there will always be people who set their sights on demons.

Looking at it from these two aspects, regardless of whether the Main Plane is willing or not, there is a high probability that there will be an opportunity to clash with the Abyss in the future.

Thus, Xia Duo strengthening the power of the Order faction in advance is only right and proper. It is just that he cannot figure out why, since the Soul-Binding Spell is not his exclusive property and the Elves clearly have it too, they have not spread this spell?

Is it difficult for native Spellcasters of the Heavenly Realm to learn it? Or do the Elves have selfish motives?

The truth is unknown, but that does not prevent Xia Duo from teaching the Soul-Binding Spell to the members of the Seven Dun Mage Association, or even any other Mage of the Holy City, right now.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo continued to ask: "If I want to go to the Eternal Night Battlefield, what should I do?"

"It's very simple. Go out of the Holy City and keep walking east until you reach the border of the Kingdom of Radiance; that is the Eternal Night Battlefield. At the same time, that is also the border of the Boundless Wilderness. Entering the Boundless Wilderness from the outside must pass through the Eternal Night Battlefield, while leaving has no restrictions. This is partly due to the great power of the Lord of Radiance, and partly due to the attributes inherited from the original Abyss."

So that's how it is!

Xia Duo suddenly realized. According to what this Mage said, one must pass through the Eternal Night Battlefield to enter the Boundless Wilderness from the outside, so he had actually already been to the Eternal Night Battlefield.

When he previously went to the Dream Abyss with Taide's Divine Envoy squad, they must have passed through the Eternal Night Battlefield on the way back, only he might not have noticed it at the time.

He only remembered passing through an Abyss named 【Pale Bingyuan】. That Abyss looked almost pure white as far as the eye could see, but within that pure white lay extreme danger.

Xia Duo had a very deep impression of that Abyss; even thinking back on it now, he still had a feeling of his consciousness sinking and dissolving.

This was not even being infected by the Abyssal Aura; just having an impression of it could produce such an effect. One can imagine what would happen if one stayed in that Abyss for a long time.

However, not all Abysses are extremely harmful. Like the Pale Bingyuan, even demons cannot survive in it for long. In other words, there are no demons there, so there is no active external harm.

As long as outsiders don't have a death wish and run over there on their own, they naturally won't be harmed by the Pale Bingyuan. It can be considered a relatively harmless type, and there are even some Divine Envoys who specifically go to the Pale Bingyuan to temper their will!

This is turning a hazard into a treasure.

In addition, there are some Abysses that are not strongly aggressive toward the outside. Xia Duo does not have a deep understanding of the Abyss; he only knows that there is currently only one Abyss fighting the Kingdom of Radiance to a standstill, and that is the Eternal Night Abyss.

Just hearing the name, one knows it is at odds with the Lord of Radiance. The Abyss itself is the opposite of order, and the "Eternal Night" is once again targeting the Lord of Radiance. If they didn't fight, that would be the real miracle!

As the name suggests, the Eternal Night Abyss is a realm that is forever in darkness. The extension of its power collided with the Kingdom of Radiance, forming the so-called Eternal Night Battlefield, which could actually also be called the Twilight Battlefield.

Because of the simultaneous action of the powers of the Lord of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss, that battlefield is in twilight for the vast majority of the time, and only when large-scale battles occur does it become bright or dim depending on the balance of power between the two sides.

Xia Duo did indeed want to take a trip to the Eternal Night Battlefield, but not to fight; rather, it was to teach the Soul-Binding Spell and investigate the Illuminati.

He always felt that the Illuminati of the Main Plane had reached its tentacles into the Outer Planes. If nothing else, the 【Inspiration Potion】 involving the power of the Dream Abyss alone is hard to explain.

Xia Duo suddenly had a premonition that perhaps he might not achieve his goal on this trip, but he still had to make this journey.
