Upon hearing about the [Divine Battlefield], Zhou Yan and Ye Xun felt that this great battle might be related to Ye Xun.
They inquired further about the [Divine Battlefield] and searched for more information about it in the royal archives of the Liuli Empire.
These records were also scarce, only mentioning that countless gods had participated in battles there a long time ago. The specific period needed to be traced back to the era of the Great Desolation mythology.
"Mythological era, that's too long ago. Are you perhaps an old undead from a hundred million years ago?" Zhou Yan looked at Ye Xun, who did not resemble an old man at all.
"I'm not necessarily from there. I've only seen the Divine Stone, and I'm not necessarily from that era," Ye Xun was also unsure.
He felt that he couldn't possibly be from the mythological era. No one could live that long, not even gods.
"Let's go to Huangtian City first," Zhou Yan said.
"I'd really like to see that place too," Diao Chan said.
"The Central Continent should be the place with the most powerful individuals in the entire Great Desolation. We should gain something from going there," Zhen Mi said.
When the Emperor of the Liuli Empire heard that Zhou Yan and his companions were leaving, he was overjoyed.
He had been troubled for the past few days. Upon hearing that Zhou Yan and the others were leaving, he personally escorted them to the teleportation array and watched them depart.
After Zhou Yan and his group finally left, Liu Xia Hui almost wept with joy, saying, "They're finally gone. The Liuli Empire can finally have peace."
A day later, Liu Xia Hui received news that a neighboring country had amassed a large army and declared war on the Liuli Empire.
Liu Xia Hui: (╥﹏╥)o
...
Outside Tianhuang City, in the Central Continent.
This was an ancient city, and upon arriving, everyone felt a powerful divine might.
"Such strong divine power. Even gods would absolutely not dare to cause trouble here. The entire city possesses a vast killing array capable of annihilating gods!"
Zhou Yan observed the city carefully, greatly surprised. He found the city to be extraordinary, possessing mystic array patterns more powerful than divine patterns.
"This is no ordinary place. Perhaps a great powerful being once resided here," Ye Xun said.
"The Great Desolation is indeed a peculiar place, with beings surpassing gods," Zhou Yan was astonished. This was definitely a being more powerful than gods.
"I wonder what's special about this place. It seems this trip won't be in vain; we should gain quite a lot."
Zhou Yan and the others walked into Huangtian City.
Although Huangtian City was a city, the entire city lacked city walls. All that met the eye were ancient buildings.
These buildings were all built within those mystic Dao patterns.
Zhou Yan wished to gain some insight from them, but unfortunately, these Dao patterns were too profound for someone of his level to comprehend.
The gap was too vast, so he had to give up.
Huangtian City was bustling and prosperous. No one was allowed to fly, not even gods. All magical artifacts lost their effectiveness.
This was a mystic place, a place that completely "forbade martial arts."
They were all surprised. This was a place of peace, yet it didn't seem like it.
They entered a very large shop and discovered that the items inside were all extremely precious.
"What a prosperous place, with shops lining the streets. They even sell all sorts of treasures. Those are Saint Artifacts, and there are several of them. The items sold here are so high-class!"
Diao Chan was very surprised upon seeing the items for sale. Ordinary Saint Artifacts were only seen at auctions or various trading events, never displayed for sale. Yet, several were displayed here.
"Good treasures." Zhou Yan saw such equipment and had no reason not to buy them. His territory had many people, and Saint Artifacts were only one level below Pseudo-Divine Artifacts, usable by many generals.
"We'll take these few Saint Artifacts," Zhou Yan stepped forward and said.
"You'll take them all!" This was a Spirit race girl. Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, she was very surprised.
The price of Saint Artifacts was not low. The combined price of these few Saint Artifacts exceeded a hundred billion spirit coins. If settled with spirit crystals, it would require ten billion.
After Zhou Yan paid the spirit coins, the Spirit race girl finally believed that Zhou Yan had the ability to purchase them. However, it was rare for someone to buy three Saint Artifacts at once.
"There are also many spirit herbs here," Diao Chan said afterward.
Zhou Yan went to look and indeed found many precious spirit herbs.
As expected of the Great Desolation, a land of outstanding people and resources, spirit herbs were abundant. Zhou Yan bought all the spirit herbs of five-star and above, which alerted the shop manager.
Because Zhou Yan spent tens of trillions of spirit coins in one go, a very rare occurrence, the other party naturally had to treat him as a VIP.
"You're purchasing so many items. We have some more precious items, would you like to see them?"
The shop manager, a male Spirit race powerhouse, was very surprised by Zhou Yan's generosity and quickly recommended some items.
"Oh, bring out anything good, otherwise I'll leave," Zhou Yan was indifferent. These items were either essential or not, and since he saw them, he might as well buy them.
It was just a matter of spirit coins; this was not a problem at all.
Spirit crystals were more precious. When the powerhouses in his territory cultivated, they used spirit crystals. Zhou Yan naturally wouldn't settle with spirit crystals.
He had more spirit coins. Looking at the countless zeros in his spirit coins, Zhou Yan felt confident in making the purchase.
The shop manager led Zhou Yan and his companions to a higher-level area. This place was heavily guarded, filled with various formations, and each item was immensely valuable.
"Pseudo-Divine Artifacts!" Zhou Yan was astonished that they even had such items for sale.
Besides two Pseudo-Divine Artifacts, there were other precious items: Divine Pill recipes, top-tier cultivation techniques, skills, spirit herbs, and Divine Pills. It was no wonder they had set up so many formations here.
Even Ye Xun was surprised that they had so many good items here.
Zhou Yan quickly asked, "Are all the items here for sale?"
"Yes," the shop manager replied.
"I'll take it all," Zhou Yan said immediately.
Shop manager: (;ﾟДﾟi|!)
Ye Xun: (＃ﾟдﾟﾒ)
"You'll really take it all?" The shop manager was indeed shocked.
The shop manager only expected him to buy one item, but he realized his perspective was too narrow and his ambition too small. This person intended to buy everything.
"Didn't you say everything was for sale?" Zhou Yan asked.
"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. Please wait a moment, I'll calculate the price for you immediately. Please wait."
The shop manager quickly called over several important figures and began calculating the value of these items.
