Chapter 258 Being Targeted by Shi Qiqiu
The speed of the biplane was indeed very fast. While the three of them were discussing their cultivation, they had already arrived outside Wanbao City.
Everyone discussed Taoism along the way. Both Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng were amazed at Ding Huan's understanding of the Tao.
Although it was only ten days, they both gained a lot.
Ding Huan didn't gain much, mainly absorbing some insights into the magic of the Taoist world.
Wanbao City was established not long ago, but its scale is dozens of times larger than Liangjie City.
From the surface, Wanbao City does not look like it has just been built. The city walls and protective formations are extremely complete.
There is a huge square at the city gate, surrounded by various shops.
Four big characters stand above the square: Kaitian Square.
Even before entering Wanbao City, Ding Huan and his companions could feel the prosperity and bustle here.
There was a constant stream of cultivators coming and going. Ding Huan estimated that there were few people entering the Kaitian battlefield here, but many people doing business.
After all, no one has come out of the Kaitian battlefield until now, right?
At the left edge of the square, there is a yellowish-brown road that is at least three meters wide.
There is a sign on the side of the road that reads 'Kaitian Battlefield'.
There were almost no people on the spacious khaki road, which meant that not many people had entered the Kaitian battlefield.
"Ding Huan, shall we go directly now?" Mo Zheng pointed to the khaki road.
Ding Huan smiled:
"My idea was to go in directly, but now it seems that it is not possible. Look over there."
Ding Huan pointed to a formation notice board outside Wanbao City.
There were some clauses written on the sign, and the fourth clause clearly stated:
All cultivators above the Yuanhun Realm from the Taoist world must report to the Kaitian Battlefield Mission Hall before entering the Kaitian Battlefield.
The cultivation levels of Ding Huan, Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng are neither high nor low here.
With their level of cultivation, there is no telling how many there are in Wanbao City and Kaitian Square.
Logically speaking, the three of them should not attract attention.
However, each of the three of them was carrying a big bag, which attracted everyone's attention.
"You have just arrived in Wanbao City, right? If you plan to go to the Kaitian Battlefield in the future, then purchasing a secret map of the Kaitian Battlefield will definitely increase your chances of obtaining treasures."
As soon as the three of them entered Wanbao City, a servant came up to greet them with a smile on his face.
"No need, just move aside." Mo Zheng waved his hand without hesitation.
The boy did not insist and turned around to look for the next customer.
Mo Zheng said speechlessly:
"This is obviously a fake picture, but they dare to sell it openly. The management of Wanbao City is also very poor."
Ding Huan said calmly:
“No, they should be selling real pictures.”
"How is that possible? No one has entered the Kaitian battlefield yet..."
Mo Zheng seemed to remember something when he said this and suddenly stopped talking.
Ding Huan said before that there was a monitoring formation on the bracelet, which meant that after every cultivator entered the Kaitian battlefield, the path they passed through and the surrounding environment were all monitored.
So even if no one can leave the Kaitian battlefield alive, the map of some locations of the Kaitian battlefield has been released.
"How dare they?" Mo Zheng couldn't believe it.
Once this map is sold, wouldn't it expose the fact of the surveillance array?
Ding Huan hehe:
"Normally, these pictures would not be sold. But they are obviously not united, and there are people inside who want to take advantage of the loopholes to make a fortune."
Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng both fell silent, they knew that Ding Huan was right.
"Do you want to stay in this inn and then report to the mission hall?" Mo Zheng pointed at an inn on the street.
Ding Huan shook his head:
"Go and report now. I feel it will be difficult to leave later."
He calculated on the way that nothing would happen after arriving in Wanbao City.
If he stayed in Wanbao City for more than a day, trouble would arise, mainly due to his backpack.
Some top-level treasures cannot be placed in storage rings. Ordinary cultivators don’t know this, but how many powerful people are there in Wanbao City?
There are a lot of human immortals, and there are also earthly immortals.
These people could definitely guess why he was carrying a backpack. Even if there was only a slight possibility, it would be coveted by others.
There weren't many people in the Kaitian battlefield mission hall. Compared to the bustling Wanbao City and the crowded Kaitian Square, the number of people here was somewhat disproportionate.
Logically speaking, the more lively a Taoist city is, the more lively its mission hall will be.
There are not many Taoist cities like Wanbao City where the streets are bustling but the mission hall is deserted.
When you arrive at the mission hall, the first thing you see is the registration office to enter the Kaitian battlefield.
There was no one at the registry desk.
"Excuse me, is this the place to register to enter the Kaitian battlefield?" Hu Wuxin walked forward and asked.
The person in charge of registration at the window was a young woman. She glanced at the three people and said, "Yes, are you from a sect in the Ascension Realm or a cultivator in the Dao Cultivation Realm?"
Ding Huan and the other two understood what this meant. They had seen it on the notice board outside the city before.
Cultivators from the Ascension Realm who want to enter the Kaitian battlefield need to register which sect they come from.
If a cultivator is not from the Ascension Realm but is from the Taoist Realm and wants to enter the Kaitian Battlefield, as long as his cultivation level exceeds the Yuanhun Realm, he will need to register his name and sect.
"We come from the Taoist world, and our cultivation has surpassed the Yuanhun realm." Hu Wuxin replied.
"What are the names of the three people and what sects do they belong to?" the woman asked again. "The leader of the Taoist Sect Alliance, Hu Wuxin; the lord of the Taoist Zhenyun Dao City, Mo Zheng; and the leader of the Taoist Blue Star Sect, Ding Huan." Hu Wuxin answered quickly.
The woman also registered quickly, and then asked:
"When will we enter the Kaitian battlefield?"
Without waiting for Hu Wuxin to answer, Ding Huan asked doubtfully:
"Do we have to confirm this as well? Do we have to enter the Kaitian battlefield after registering?"
The woman said calmly, "Not necessarily. Just tell me roughly what day you'll go in. It doesn't have to be exact."
"Then let's do it in two or three days."
After Ding Huan finished speaking, he looked at Hu Wuxin and said, "Old Hu, do you want to buy some talismans and elixirs later?"
Although Hu Wuxin didn't quite understand what Ding Huan meant, he was an old hand and said without any hesitation:
"Of course I need it. I heard there is a talisman shop in Wanbao City. The talismans there are of very good quality."
"Okay, here are the registration cards for the three of you."
The woman interrupted the conversation between Ding Huan and Hu Wuxin and threw out three signs.
Hu Wuxin grabbed the sign and gave Ding Huan and Mo Zheng's signs to the two of them.
The three of them then walked out of the mission hall slowly.
"Ding Huan, what did you mean just now?" Hu Wuxin asked Ding Huan as soon as he left the mission hall.
He felt that someone like Ding Huan would never do something without a purpose.
Ding Huan said in a deep voice:
"I mean, let's go to the Kaitian battlefield now."
Hu Wuxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Okay, let's leave now."
Almost at the same time when Ding Huan and the other two headed for the Kaitian battlefield, Shi Qiqiu, the dean of Changyan Academy, learned something.
That is, three very strange people came to Wanbao City today, and all of them were carrying backpacks.
Carrying a backpack to Wanbao City is not just strange, it is definitely odd.
Because ordinary mortals can't reach Wanbao City at all.
As long as you are not a mortal, you will have a storage bag or a storage ring.
Why would someone who has a magic storage device need to carry a backpack?
There is only one explanation, there is something that the storage ring cannot hold.
How big is a backpack? Can't a backpack with storage magic weapon hold all the things you need?
Even the worst storage bag should be able to hold it, right? Even the poorest monks who can come to Wanbao City will not be unable to afford a storage bag.
So why carry a backpack? There is another explanation.
That is, the things in the backpack are much more complicated than those in the storage bag or storage ring, and are not even on the same level, so they cannot be put in.
After learning the news, Shi Qiqiu immediately inquired at the registration office of the mission hall.
Then he learned clearly that these three people would stay in Wanbao City for two or three days.
And among these three people, there was one person that he was particularly concerned about, and that was the leader of the Blue Star Sect, Ding Huan.
According to the information provided by Qingyu, Ding Huan had obtained the remains of an ancient cave.
Shi Qiqiu even suspected that the things in Ding Huan's backpack were from the ruins. Because they couldn't fit into the storage ring, he had to carry them on his back.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was not going to let Ding Huan go.
According to the information obtained from Shi Qiqiu, Ding Huan and the other two needed to stay in Wanbao City for two or three days in order to purchase some talismans and pills.
This made Shi Qiqiu breathe a sigh of relief, but even so, he still put down everything at hand and rushed to Wanbao City eagerly.
Things like treasures must be obtained as early as possible. Once you miss it, you will never get it again.
Shi Qiqiu naturally understood this truth.
……
Leaving Kaitian Square outside Wanbao City, there is only one way to enter the Kaitian battlefield, and that is the khaki road.
This road is completely blocked by restrictions. You cannot use spaceships or fly in the air. You can only walk.
Ding Huan and the other two walked along the khaki road for nearly an hour before they arrived outside a formation gate.
There were four words written outside the formation gate: Kaitian Battlefield.
Is this the entrance to the Kaitian battlefield?
Ding Huan and the other two stood at this desolate formation gate, feeling somewhat confused.
There are no monks on duty here, only a formation gate.
The thing that opens the formation gate is their bracelet.
"Before I arrived at the Ascension Realm, I thought there were a lot of people here. After arriving at Wanbao City, I knew that few people would come here, and now it is indeed the case."
Mo Zheng sighed.
"No matter what, let's go in first."
Ding Huan calculated that the longer he stayed outside, the more danger he would be in.
When he reached the entrance of the array gate, before Ding Huan raised his bracelet, the bracelet emitted a ray of light, and then the array gate in front of him was opened.
Ding Huan was the first to enter the Kaitian battlefield.
Seeing Ding Huan go in, Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng did not hesitate and both used their bracelets to enter the formation gate.
