HCB Chapter 271 Heading to Wutong Territory
Chapter 271 Heading to Wutong Territory
Time flies and a month goes by in a flash.
Shi Zhixing's cultivation to the third-grade immortal realm has finally stabilized, and there are still two months before the ancient battlefield opens.
The number of places for the Temple of Poseidon to enter the ancient battlefield is based on voluntary principles, unlike those of other temples where almost half of the places are enforced by force in order to gain more resources.
The Temple of Poseidon has its own sea area and is not short of resources. There are no compulsory measures. Of course, the voluntary principle can avoid people with complicated minds, because such people will die faster if they enter the ancient battlefield, and will also become bait for the evolution of strange creatures.
So it’s better not to go.
Of course, anyone who voluntarily signs up to enter the ancient battlefield from the Temple of Poseidon will receive resources from the Temple of Poseidon as long as they come out alive.
The list of elders who have registered to enter the ancient battlefield this year has been finalized. Among the elders, only the Grand Elder has signed up, but unfortunately his application was rejected by Cang Ming because he had to stay in the Temple of Poseidon.
There were only five people who signed up to be the island owner, including Lan Lin and the four people who had the closest relationship with him.
As for the disciples of the Sea God Temple who signed up, all of them were people with superior bloodline cultivation aptitude and excellent mentality. These people either really wanted to go to the ancient battlefield for adventure and training, or they were interested in the position of island master and went in to hone their skills.
Therefore, the only people from the Temple of Poseidon who were forced to enter the ancient battlefield this year were Hua Li and Shi Zhixing, as well as their shadow guards.
There are nearly three hundred to four hundred people on Guangguang Huali and Shi Zhixing's side, accounting for more than half of the number of people from the Temple of the Sea God who entered the ancient battlefield.
Because Cangming has disappeared for ten thousand years, he will go to the ancient battlefield this time, but he will not participate in the battlefield in the outer circle of the ancient battlefield. He wants to enter the inner circle of the ancient battlefield.
The masters or elders of the six major temples will take turns to be stationed in the inner circle, in order to expand the extraterritorial space cracks in the deepest part of the inner circle of the ancient battlefield, and to kill the king-level or higher-level monsters that come out of the space cracks.
The other seven elders of the Poseidon Temple were stationed in the inner circle all year round to replace the Poseidon Temple Master. This time, Cang Ming was going to replace them and have some rest.
The ancient battlefield is in the extreme north of the divine realm, while the floating city is in the extreme south of the divine realm. They are far apart. Before entering the ancient battlefield, they have to go to the sword tomb to retrieve the soul weapon.
Horcruxes can cause damage to monsters and can also temporarily kill them, so anyone who enters the ancient battlefield for the first time has a chance to enter the sword tomb to obtain a Horcrux.
Therefore, the people from the Temple of the Sea God need to set off early and go to the Sword Tomb in the Wutong Domain first.
Hua Li's eyes lit up at this. Maybe she could go visit Hei Yao again this way.
The Poseidon Temple is traveling on this trip on a super-large flying boat that can accommodate more than 700 people. The larger the flying boat, the faster it can go.
It takes half a month to get to Wutong Domain. Hua Li and Shi Zhixing stick together every day, eat and live together, and stay in the room most of the time. Of course, they don't do anything shameful.
Instead, whenever he had free time, Zhixing would seize the time to prepare various foods and snacks and put them into Hua Li's space. Hua Li loved to eat, and they were afraid that they would not have any free time after entering the ancient battlefield, so he tried his best to do everything he could.
More than half a month later, the flying boat of the Sea God Temple arrived outside the Wutong Territory on time.
Standing on the deck of the flying boat, Hua Li could see four other large flying boats and one medium-sized flying boat docked below.
Looking at the flags above, the large flying boats are the Shenlong Palace, Xuanwu Palace, White Tiger Palace, and Rakshasa Palace.
The Divine Phoenix Temple is located in the Wutong Domain, so their flying boat was not seen. However, the Divine Phoenix Temple's team was there, and like the teams from other temples, they were standing at the entrance of the Wutong Domain waiting.
There are more flags on the medium-sized flying boat, which belong to Qinghai College in the Central Region, Tianyan College and the Divine Doctor Valley.
Every hundred years, the Central Region also has quotas to enter the ancient battlefield. Basically, they go there for the resources allocated by the Divine Region and the opportunity to come to the Sword Tomb.
However, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The ancient battlefield is not so easy to enter. In addition, the strength of the people in the Central Region is basically at the fairyland, and the fairyland is the highest. The strength is not on the same level as the six major temples in the divine domain.
Therefore, every time people from the Central Region entered the ancient battlefield, they were basically wiped out.
The only way they can increase their survival rate is by joining the six divine realms.
The Temple of Poseidon was the last to arrive at Wutong Domain. After docking at the entrance of Wutong Domain, Cangming led Hua Li and Shi Zhixing off the flying boat, followed by more than 700 people.
The commotion at the Poseidon Temple was quite loud, and it immediately attracted the curious gazes of other temples. In previous years, only two or three hundred people from the Poseidon Temple had entered the ancient battlefield, and they were somewhat curious about the sudden appearance of so many people this year.
When they saw Cangming leading the group, the disciples from other temples immediately withdrew their gazes and dared not look anymore. At the same time, they also understood that it was the Sea God who had returned.
In the past, the Temple of Poseidon would be ostracized by people from other temples. One reason was the disappearance of Lord Poseidon, and the other was that they had the fewest people entering the ancient battlefield every hundred years.
Third, the Temple of Poseidon has lost the secret key to open the ancient battlefield. Every time someone enters the Temple of Poseidon in the ancient battlefield, they will be dispersed and follow the entry of other temples.
You must know that every time the secret key is used to open the ancient battlefield, if the number of people brought in exceeds the limit, the divine power in the secret key will be consumed.
Therefore, people from other temples don’t like people from the Temple of the Sea very much, and they despise them and don’t want to work with them.
After the people from the Temple of Poseidon took their positions, Honglian led the fifty-odd people from Qinghai College to the front of Lord Poseidon to pay their respects. After Lord Poseidon nodded, Honglian led the fifty-odd people from Qinghai College to stand behind the team of the Temple of Poseidon.
Qinghai College was founded by Lord Poseidon, so no matter how many people come from Qinghai College, Poseidon Temple will accept them all, which makes other colleges in the Central Region envious.
This is also the main reason why other forces in the Central Region will not easily provoke Qinghai College.
Hua Li kept looking towards Honglian. He wanted to say hello to Honglian after not seeing her for a long time. However, after Honglian arranged the people from Qinghai College, she winked at Hua Li mischievously and went back to the flying boat in the Central Region.
Obviously Honglian is not going to the ancient battlefield.
Hua Li withdrew his gaze and looked around the teams from other temples. He saw that the disciples of Tianyin Academy and Tianyan Academy had basically joined the Rakshasa Temple team.
The people from the ancient Divine Doctor Valley were unexpectedly popular, and basically every temple’s team had people from the Divine Doctor Valley.
Unexpectedly, he also met a few familiar faces, including Mu Yubai and Mu Qingxue from the Divine Doctor Valley, who were in the White Tiger Hall's team, as well as Xiahou Jue, who had the blood of a divine dragon, so was accepted into the team by the people from the Divine Dragon Hall.
The Mu brothers and sisters' cultivation was not low to begin with, so Hua Li was not surprised to see them here. What surprised her was Xiahou Jue, whose dragon bloodline level had increased and his cultivation had also broken through to the immortal realm.
At this moment, Hua Li suddenly felt a very oppressive gaze locked on him. His scalp tightened and he looked around but couldn't find who it was. After a moment, the oppressive gaze disappeared and Hua Li stopped looking around and stood still obediently.
The temple masters who entered the ancient battlefield this time included the Sea God of the Sea Temple - Cangming, the God of War of the Divine Phoenix Temple - Fengchi, the God of War of the Black Tortoise Temple - Xuanyue, and the God of Death of the Rakshasa Temple - Long Lingmo.
