These five people's strength far surpasses that of the Cangwu Realm cultivators. Even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator in their hands would be hard pressed to last three moves.

There is no doubt that these five are the strongest in the Cangwu Realm.

After enduring countless hardships and breaking through to ascend, they were ultimately left behind. The five venerables' feelings are naturally complex and indescribable. Even after years of accumulation, they developed resentment towards the Azurewood Realm.

There was also a cultivator whose power surpassed everyone else. Unable to break through any further, he became obsessed with the power brought by strength and started to stir up trouble in the Five Continents.

During that time, conflicts occurred every year between the five continents, with casualties numbering in the hundreds of thousands each time.

With the escalation of conflicts between five continents, the once peaceful Azurewood Realm instantly transformed into a human hell.

War spread to nearly every corner of the five continents, no one could escape.

The conflict among the five venerables escalated until it reached a point of no reconciliation. The five venerables, each leading their own retinues, agreed to engage in a grand battle within the Zhongzhou region.

This battle will decide who becomes the ruler of the Cangwu Realm, and who will submit to their authority.

This battle lasted for a whole year. Half of Zhongzhou's land was razed to the ground. In the end, the five warriors all perished together at a place called Duanhangya.

Later, this ancient battlefield was named the Five Gods Battlefield.

For the five guiding the battlefield were transcendents of the Cangwu Realm who surpassed even the Great Ascension realm at the time.

For cultivators in the Cangwu Realm, above Mahayana is godhood.

This time, the Five Gods Battlefield was discovered, and the Five Continents were astonished.

You should know that when the Five Gods fought in Duanshangya, they almost took all the elite soldiers of the Five Continents and divine weapons.

Later, these people died, and the artifacts and spiritual treasures were lost on the ancient battlefield, and many lineages were thus cut off.

This also resulted in the average combat strength of the Five Continents dropping several ranks after the War of the Five Gods.

News has arrived that the Five Gods Battlefield can be reopened, wouldn't this shake all five continents?

Lin Qi suddenly wondered: "The reopening of the Five Gods Battlefield should be most attractive to cultivators at the Great Accomplishment and Nascent Soul stages, right?"

The five deceased cultivators had all passed through the tribulation of lightning and broken through the shackles of Mahayana.

Now that the Cangwu realm's gate to ascension has reopened, offering hope for transcendence, those cultivators who have been stuck at the Mahayana stage for a long time will probably go crazy with excitement.

Such a good opportunity, how could it be left to these nascent soul and golden elixir cultivators?

Taiji Venerable said, "The Wusheng Battlefield is a barrier that appeared automatically when the inner boundary dissipated. There are restrictions in the battlefield, only allowing cultivators at the Yuan Ying stage to enter. If Nascent Soul and Mahayana cultivators enter, they will explode and die."

"Just so happens that preparations for the Five Continents Grand Competition are underway. Elite cultivators from across the Five Continents have gathered here. They plan to use this group of disciples to retrieve lost treasures and inheritances from the past. Perhaps those with great fortune may even receive an inheritance from five immortals…"

"No wonder." Lin Qi looked as if she had suddenly understood, "I'm afraid the third round of competition will be even more intense."

Taiji Venerable sighed and took out two scrolls from his bosom, placing them down. "These are the treasures that Tianyi Sect lost initially, and the elder who had an accident on the ancient battlefield. Later, the other four sects will also send news. The five sects share information and help each other find the lost treasures from back then... The sect master's meaning is to try our best to retrieve them if possible, without being overly demanding."

What do you think, ancestor?

Taiji Venerable didn't show a smile from the moment he entered, indicating that he wasn't very optimistic about the ancient battlefield.

After a moment of silence, the Taiji Master spoke solemnly, "I have only one requirement. All of you must return alive!"

Lin Qi and the five others were startled, instantly understanding the Taiji Venerable's worry.

Those who fell in the Five Gods Battlefield back then, at the very least, were all fearsome cultivators at the Great Ascension realm.

A cultivator of this level, even if they fall on the battlefield, their soul is highly likely to survive.

The souls of Mahayana cultivators would be extremely dangerous for Yuan Ying cultivators like Lin Qi, let alone those Jin Dan cultivators.

Especially Lin Qi had once almost been possessed by a Mahayana cultivator, deeply knowing that even if a Mahayana cultivator only had one soul, his strength could still be formidable.

Five

The battlefield is both a blessed land and a perilous one.

It is not about the abundant harvest, but the fact that we were able to safely walk out.

The five immediately tensed up, bowing respectfully: "Disciples will certainly do their best to return safely!"

The Grandmaster of Tai Chi raised his hand, "The battles to come will only be more perilous. Information will arrive in batches later on. You can also take this opportunity to purchase more resources. The more cards you have in your hand, the higher your survival rate."

"Yes!"

This leaves a little less than a month of preparation time.

When Lin Qi and several others left, each of them had a flyer stuffed into their hands.

Upon opening it, it was an invitation to Wanwuju, another grand commercial building in the imperial capital of Yuanguo.

Everything Shop has recently acquired a new batch of spiritual objects and wants to hold an auction during the Five Continents Competition. All are welcome to come and bid!

Lin Qi at first thought this was a place introduced by the Taiji Venerable for her to buy cultivation resources.

Last time, she offended the owner of Zhenbaoge and the Zhongzhou Alliance behind it. Now that Lin Qi is going shopping at Zhenbaoge again, she herself is not at ease.

I casually asked Yuan Xi, my senior sister, "Senior Sister, are you going to check out Wanwu Ju and see if there's anything you want?"

Yuan Xi, the senior sister, gave Lin Qi a serious glance. Seeing her completely bewildered, she simply pulled Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing into the room together.

Yuan Xi's senior sister cut straight to the point: "The purpose of this post isn't to invite us to the auction."

"So there's another way in?" Lin Qi flipped the post, trying to find some other clues.

As expected, she found another Bing Huang mark in the upper right corner of the post.

Lin Qi was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "Are these posts custom-made?"

Yuan Xi Shijie nodded slightly.

The master of all things remains neutral in the competition among the five continents. It has always held a neutral position. This auction is not about selling goods, but rather a way to cast a net far and wide to find cultivators who can help retrieve their ancestral treasure on the ancient battlefield.

The master of all things is a cultivator from the Eastern Continent. In his early years, his family was also a prominent clan in the Eastern Continent. However, for some unknown reason, he fell out with a group of cultivators from the Eastern Continent and left the continent, becoming famous throughout the Five Continents by doing business.

Lin Qi's eyes flickered, and she immediately asked, "Senior Sister, do you know?"

Yuan Xi smiled softly, "It's a start."

"Many of their ancestors participated in the Five Gods War, and they all perished in the Valley of Broken Hearts. This resulted in a break in the family lineage, and due to a lack of successors, they were attacked by other families in East Continent. Their property was divided, and most of the clan members were killed or injured. They could no longer survive in East Continent, so they left to seek new opportunities."

Later, through generations of commerce and cultivation, this dwelling that encompasses the five continents was finally established.

Tan Yueqing wasn't as gossipy as Lin Qi, she only chose to listen to the key points.
