In fact, Chu Ming himself knew that as the area controlled by Tiangong became larger and larger, and the number of operations became more frequent, it was impossible to hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything without being discovered as before.
Sooner or later, the Heavenly Palace will come into the sight of all major sects.
Therefore, no matter how tense the situation was now, he did not recall Cao Zhengchun and Six Sword Slaves, but put them in charge of continuing to clear out the forces in the Eastern Region that were originally attached to Wuliang Holy Land.
As long as he completes the system tasks as soon as possible and "Xiao Tie" can be upgraded, he will not be afraid of the pressure from the Infinite Holy Land and the Black Clothes Sect.
"Sir, do we need to separate after entering the ancient battlefield?"
"Of course there's no need. It's safer for everyone to gather together."
Seeing the proud smile on Chu Ming's face, Zhao Min and others knew that he had a plan.
Chu Ming does have his own plans.
The existence of Zibu's heavenly soldiers determined that all opportunities on the ancient battlefield should belong to the heavenly palace, so he naturally did not need to bother to find them.
As for whether other forces would take advantage of it, Chu Ming had already thought about how to "convince people with reason" for those hostile sects, so that they would willingly hand over the opportunity that belonged to the Heavenly Palace.
The next day, all the sects came to the entrance of the ruins early to wait, because according to past practice, today should be the day when the ancient battlefield was officially opened.
At this moment, Tiangong slowly came to the entrance under the leadership of Chu Ming. All the sects could not help but make way for them, even the Black Clothes Sect and Wuliang Holy Land were no exception.
Although Tiangong arrived late, he stood at the front of the team.
After what happened yesterday, no one thought there was anything unreasonable about this. Instead, they all calmly waited for the ruins to be opened.
At this moment, the clouds at the entrance to the ancient battlefield suddenly accelerated their rotation, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to converge towards it, forming a vortex, and five tornadoes appeared around it.
The closer to the entrance of the ruins, the greater the impact. Zhao Min threw an array disk into the air, and a layer of mist instantly protected everyone in the Tiangong Palace from being affected at all.
The shock lasted for about a quarter of an hour and then stopped. Then a seven-color light pillar shot up from the entrance. In a blink of an eye, the ancient battlefield officially opened.
Tiangong, who was at the front of the queue, was naturally the first to enter the ruins.
Chu Ming led everyone through the whirlpool-like entrance without hesitation, and for a moment they seemed to have entered another world.
The sky and earth on the ancient battlefield showed a faint blood-red color, and seemed to be shrouded in mist. Things ten meters away could no longer be seen clearly.
"Sir, according to records, the closer you get to the core of the ruins, the more precious the inheritance and treasures become. However, no one has really been able to get close to the inner area in so many years."
Hearing what Luo Jinghong said, Chu Ming became even more excited.
The pair of copper rings seized from the elder Kuang Shamen were originally called "Suzaku Rings". They can not only collect the enemy's magic weapons, but also absorb infuriating attacks. They are a good treasure.
Treasures like the Vermilion Bird Ring can only be obtained on the periphery of the ancient battlefield, so according to Luo Jinghong, there may be a huge surprise waiting for them at the core of the ancient battlefield.
As he spoke, the Black Clothes Sect, Wuliang Holy Land and other sects had all entered the ancient battlefield.
Since entering the ruins, everyone has started to be wary of each other. Seeing Tiangong standing still, they entered it from different directions and quickly disappeared into the mist.
"Min'er, does your formation work here?"
"I've just tried it on myself, and there's no problem."
Chu Ming was completely relieved after hearing this.
Because there is a kind of monster in the ancient battlefield. They have no consciousness and will only attack the warriors who enter the ruins indiscriminately.
It is because of these monsters that it is often difficult for warriors who enter the ruins to get a rest.
But if there is the protection of the formation, then this situation will be greatly improved.
After all, the damage rate in ancient battlefields is as high as 60%25, so it is not inconsistent at all to use "wealth and honor in danger" here.
Chu Ming didn't want Tiangong to suffer any losses. He preferred to prepare carefully and then reap the results.
"How is it going?"
"Sir, this place is truly full of opportunities."
"Okay, your heavenly soldiers will lead the way. Let us see the magic of the ancient battlefield."
"Yes, sir."
As Chu Ming and others went deeper, the murderous atmosphere became stronger and stronger. The ancient battlefield had existed for who knows how many years, but it could still release such a powerful power, which shows the scale of this war back then.
There were fragments of various weapons everywhere along their path, but due to the passage of time, they had become mottled and worthless.
Chu Ming felt that there were still spiritual energy fluctuations here. Could it be that there were spiritual veins in the ruins?
"There is indeed a spiritual vein in the ancient battlefield, and the level is not low."
"If there really is a spiritual stone, how come it hasn't been hollowed out yet?"
Zhong Ling was very curious about Luo Jinghong's explanation.
"The ancient battlefield covers a vast area, and it is not easy to find spiritual veins. Moreover, many opportunities here are far away from spiritual stones, and no one is willing to waste time on mining."
"And the ruins only open every ten thousand years. Even if there is a slight loss of spiritual veins, after a period of time, it will naturally be replenished, possibly even more than before."
After listening to Luo Jinghong's explanation, everyone couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Since everyone in Tiangong entered the ancient battlefield for the first time, Luo Jinghong needed to explain many questions.
"The ancient battlefield is known as the first place of opportunity in the Mountain and Sea Continent. It makes sense. Many sects' sect-suppressing techniques were obtained here."
No wonder the top sects are holding on to the ruins. Although the ancient battlefield is extremely dangerous, it is really a place of opportunity.
"After so many years, I'm afraid the outer area has already been explored all over, and there shouldn't be any new opportunities."
Zhao Min also joined in and asked curiously.
"This is the magical thing about the ancient battlefield. The entire ruins seem to be moving. Every time you enter the ruins from the entrance, there will always be new changes. The changes I am talking about are changes in the region."
"You mean the ruins are functioning autonomously."
"Yes, because every time the disciples enter the ancient battlefield, they have to draw a terrain map, but the next time the disciples take the drawings to explore, they find that everything seems to have changed, and the map drawn by the senior has no effect. "
"In addition to various ruins in the ancient battlefield, there is also a way to obtain treasures."
Speaking of this, Luo Jinghong paused deliberately, and the anxious girl Zhong Ling kept urging her to speak quickly.
Not only Zhong Ling, but now everyone's attention has been attracted.
"That's a monster, because a monster holds all kinds of treasures in its hands. The higher the realm, the more precious the treasures in its hands are."
Chu Ming didn't expect that monsters could have such a function. Isn't this a "wealth-giving boy"?
Now he is the only warrior in the ruins who may hope to be attacked by monsters.
You can not only train troops but also get treasures. Apart from the ancient battlefield, where else can there be such a good place.
It had been three hours since Chu Ming and his party entered the ruins, but they had only advanced less than twenty miles.
Mainly due to the mist, they could only see clearly about ten meters away. In such an unfamiliar environment, it naturally greatly affected the speed of their march.
"It's been so long, why haven't we encountered a monster yet?"
"Monsters generally rarely appear during the day. Most of them are active at night. It is for this reason that night has always been the most painful time for warriors."
Even Li Xunhuan was a little curious as to why the legendary monster hadn't appeared for so long.
The ancient battlefield is also divided into day and night, but the night here is simply invisible and there is no light.
The Zibu Heavenly Soldiers had already chosen a suitable place to camp, a piece of flat land next to an unknown hill, which could just accommodate the large group of people from the Heavenly Palace.
This place is also very suitable for fighting. Everyone knew that the first night in the ruins was destined to not be peaceful.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Tiangong camp had been set up. The entire camp was arranged in a "six-star plum blossom formation", guarding Chu Ming's Dazhai in the center.
A blazing bonfire was lit in the camp. Although this would attract the attention of monsters, everyone had to choose to do so.
Otherwise, in a dark environment, the warrior's strength will be greatly reduced, but the monsters will not be affected by the environment at all, which will definitely bring greater disaster to the team.
The process of setting up camp fully demonstrated the "generousness" of Tiangong. Not only was each member equipped with a storage ring, but even the daily necessities were fully prepared.
Any sect disciple who enters the ancient battlefield is not trembling with fear. Most of the storage rings prepared are life-saving items. Where can one be as luxurious as the Tiangong? They even bring a variety of seasonings for cooking.
I'm afraid even the Holy Son of the Black Sect, who always pays attention to ostentation, can't compare.
"If we light so many bonfires, we will not only attract attacks from monsters, but also be spied on by interested people."
"On the trip to the ancient battlefield, Tiangong not only needs opportunities to improve its strength, but also distinguishes among the top sects which ones are friends, which ones can be fought for, and which ones must be destroyed."
Although Tianlao and Guanghan Palace both provided him with a list of the sects that did not participate in the siege of Tiangong.
But times have changed, and it is difficult to guarantee that these forces, such as the "Yue Family", have not changed.
Chu Ming did not want to repeat the mistakes of the previous generation of Tiangong, and ended up suffering a "backstab" from his own clan.
At this moment, the sound of the alarm came, and a large number of monsters had gathered outside their camp.
Chu Ming looked closely and found that these monsters were actually no different from ordinary people, except that their eyes all turned blood red, and revealed a violent light. It was obvious that they had lost their consciousness and became walking zombies who only knew how to kill.
