Chapter 1154: Chapter 1046: Join
After the two separated, Huang Shiqi opened the Jade Box and was also surprised by Li Zhirui’s generosity.
It was actually a Sheng Leizhu, a special grade eight Spiritual Object that perfectly suited him!
For cultivators who practiced the Thunder Method, this was one of the best Artifact Refining materials.
Even though Huang Shiqi came from a distinguished background, obtaining Sheng Leizhu was not that simple, as it was rare and hard to find.
Huang Shiqi felt that this gift exceeded his mere piece of advice, but Li Zhirui thought it was just right, believing he got the better end of the deal by using a Sheng Leizhu to settle some karmic debts.
After all, however rare Spiritual Objects are, one can eventually obtain them with enough time and effort, but the advice from others is truly hard to come by.
Not to forget, Li Zhirui had tens of thousands of high-grade Spiritual Objects in his possession, and the Sheng Leizhu had already reproduced several offspring in his spatial realm.
As for Li Zhirui, even though he recognized his own issue, solving it would not be an overnight success, he could only try to slowly make improvements.
And the most suitable place for Li Zhirui was undoubtedly the battlefield!
So in the following days, he didn’t venture into the Secret Realm for experience as before, but began gathering various information and choosing which battlefield to go to next.
The two most famous and equally most dangerous battlefields in East Continent Immortal Tao are the Immortal Demon Battlefield with the Demonic Tao and the East Sea Battlefield with the Sea Clan.
The strength of the northern remnants is not weak, but their numbers are too few, and with mountains serving as barriers, conflicts were less common.
As for the territory of Devil Race, Demon God Mountain, it does not directly border East Continent Immortal Tao, but is located at the border of the Southern Domain and West Continent.
However, because of the sheer number and wide distribution of Devil Beasts, most cultivators see the Devil Race as the biggest enemy, although that is not actually the case.
"The East Sea Battlefield is closer to Mount Wanxian, more convenient for seclusion and breakthroughs if cultivation improves, but the downside is that the wars are not fierce enough, and it is rare to see Integration cultivators directly joining the battle,"
Li Zhirui calmly analyzed the pros and cons of the two battlefields, "In contrast, the Immortal Demon Battlefield is the opposite, not to mention Integration cultivators, even Mahayana, Tribulation Transcendence, and sometimes even Individual Immortals with Great Abilities, utterly dangerous."
Many cultivators could not achieve the Void Refinement Realm in their entire life, but here, they were merely high-level cannon fodder, countless dying every year.
If it were the old Li Zhirui, he would definitely choose the safer East Sea Battlefield, slowly honing himself.
But having discovered the hidden issues within his mental state, Li Zhirui made a different decision from before, choosing to train in the Immortal Demon Battlefield!
Moreover, the previous Taixu Illusionary Realm had taught Li Zhirui several Demonslaying Divine Abilities, which would now come in handy.
Li Zhirui didn’t make many preparations, the Precious Pills he had were more than enough to last him for quite a few years.
With that, he casually left Kunlun State and embarks on the road to the Immortal Demon Battlefield.
Along the way, he did encounter some setbacks, but with Li Zhirui’s current strength, ordinary Integration cultivators were simply no match for him.
He also refrained from pursuing those ill-intentioned Robbing Cultivators, as it would be time-consuming.
After all, they were Integration cultivators too. Although not as strong, they still had one or two life-saving techniques. If Li Zhirui didn’t trap them at the beginning, it wouldn’t be easy to kill them later.
Apart from this, Li Zhirui encountered something very strange on the road, something that had never happened before. There were cultivators from various major powers intercepting individuals heading to the Immortal Demon Battlefield, more precisely, those heading to the West Continent.
"I didn’t expect the impact brought by that Demonic Tao Individual Immortal to persist till now!" Had it not been for this incident, Li Zhirui would have already forgotten about that tragic event.
At that time, he didn’t understand why the major powers let the news spread. If they had just made a little effort to stop it, such consequences would not have occurred today.
The patrolling Lianxu Cultivator slightly bowed and said, "May I ask what is your purpose for this journey, senior?"
"To train on the battlefield, in hopes of a breakthrough."
Li Zhirui then asked, "Have there been many cultivators defecting from the Immortal Tao in recent years?"
"I dare not conceal from the senior, I do not know the exact numbers, but just on this path, dozens of traitors are captured each month."
To prevent the invasion of the Demonic Tao, East Continent Immortal Tao, besides the front-line battlefields, built a continuous wall stretching one million miles to the east, relying on the geographic features. They also set up layers of formations such as the Demon-Identifying Great Array, Sky-Restricting Great Formation, et cetera.
And relying on the Mountain River City wall, they established three hundred sixty-five Immortal Cities, with several smaller cities and Marketplaces scattered within.
But if one wants to leave the city wall and head to the battlefield, officially only one hundred of those Immortal Cities provide access.
The major powers have arranged for cultivators to be stationed along these paths and are responsible for patrolling around a thousand miles. Anyone found with suspicious movements, especially those not using the main roads, can be directly captured."
In fact, these stationed cultivators have always been there, initially to prevent Demon Cultivators from sneaking in, but now they have an additional task added to their duties.
Upon hearing this number, Li Zhirui quickly calculated in his mind and had an answer. Just the captured cultivators numbered in the thousands, up to tens of thousands, not to mention those who took secret paths and were not captured.
"Over these years, has there been no change in the numbers?"
