Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1285 - 572: One-Month Deadline

"This is the area where the Sea of Realms borders us."

Xu Qingqiu replied earnestly, "A large number of warped monsters will appear here, and our task is to stop them from emerging from this boundary area."

"Oh? Does that mean the other areas of the Sea of Realms won’t have any warped monsters?"

As Ning Qi heard her explanation, he immediately realized something.

"There will always be some that slip through the cracks, and these escaped warped monsters will cause us great trouble."

"However, if it weren’t for the Sea Boundary Battlefield, these warped monsters would come out in full force, and then they would be unstoppable."

"That’s why it’s crucial to block them at this boundary area."

Xu Qingqiu maintained a serious demeanor, "Think about it, our Sea of Realms covers such a vast area. If we don’t defend this region..."

"They’ll run rampant everywhere, and our people won’t have time to support each other, allowing them to massacre entire Lower Realm areas."

"Before anyone can come to support, that realm might already be destroyed, and our living space will continue to shrink."

"I understand now, so that’s how it is."

After hearing her explanation, Ning Qi finally understood the situation.

This was the first time he’d heard about this place.

"Our dynasty sends out a team annually for expeditions."

"They usually send out a million-strong team to defend, but when these teams return after three years, their numbers are often reduced to less than one-tenth of the original."

"Even so, they still must go; otherwise, even more people will be killed."

Xu Qingqiu sighed and continued, "So, don’t think that just because there’s no war here, everyone is a bird in a cage."

"In truth, we send a large number of people to the battlefield every year."

"Yes, it seems that only Lower Realms with strong power like yours are qualified to go."

"In our True Martial Spirit Realm, we’ve never heard of such things."

Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "So, once you reach that area, you’ll receive such orders?"

"Every area is different; they’re divided into the Inner Area, Outer Area, and Core Area."

"The Outer Area is what you mentioned before, near the Black Water Region, and it’s called the Outer Area."

Xu Qingqiu explained again, "People from this area can’t be drafted by us because they are constantly resisting the invasion of warped monsters, and their patrol teams suffer countless casualties annually."

"They’re unable to support the battlefield."

"Oh? I see."

Hearing her explanation, Ning Qi finally understood the considerations involved.

"This is the Outer Area. Further in is the Inner Area, where people remain in a state of readiness."

"They usually won’t be drafted, but if an emergency arises, they will be taken to the Outer Area to support attacked regions."

"If the manpower in the depths of the Inner Area is insufficient, they will need to assist at the Sea Boundary Battlefield."

"If their strength increases, they will enter the Core Area, which is the area where our realm is located."

"Every year, a large number of people are sent to the Sea Boundary Battlefield!"

Xu Qingqiu patiently explained the situation to Ning Qi.

"So, our True Martial Spirit Realm is at the junction of the Outer and Inner Areas."

"Because we also have a lot of warped monsters here."

"We also need to guard against attacks from warped monsters."

Ning Qi finally understood where their True Martial Spirit Realm was located.

"Yes, that’s why it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of the Sea Boundary Battlefield!"

"In your area, there’s been no overall contact with this, so it’s impossible to know!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded as Ning Qi spoke, saying seriously, "This actually has pros and cons. You can continue to develop yourself, but you also have to face the more threatening Black Water Region; if warped monsters attack, you will be in great danger too."

"Well then, it looks like we haven’t had the chance to go to this place yet."

Ning Qi sighed.

"Yes, though if you can go, it’s a good thing."

"There are many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside, because many experts have fallen here."

"Furthermore, this is the edge of the collapsing Immortal Realm, and there are many celestial opportunities inside."

Xu Qingqiu nodded earnestly, "If you have the chance to enter, it’s a chance as well. Our Sect Leader found a set of Cultivation Techniques inside."

"It allowed him to directly cultivate and breakthrough to become a Half-step Golden Immortal."

"In just a few decades, I believe in another hundred years he could break through to Golden Immortal strength."

"By then, the Immortals will make an exception and give him a chance to cleanse and refine his body with Immortal Race Bloodline Power, allowing our Ten Thousand Swords Sect a chance to enter the Immortal Realm."

"Oh? That’s truly a case where one person attains the Way and even their pets ascend to heaven."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi smiled and said, "If there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely want to try my luck too."

"In a month, our Ten Thousand Swords Sect will send a group. If you want to go, I can talk to my master, and he will agree!"

Xu Qingqiu thought for a moment and said to Ning Qi.

"Oh? That sounds great, can I go?"

Hearing her words, Ning Qi immediately showed interest.

If he could find some opportunities upon going, enhancing his own strength, it would be a good thing.

If he reached Golden Immortal strength, he could return and elevate the status of the True Martial Spirit Realm.

Then, stepping into the core area of the Inner Realm would be just around the corner.
