Chapter 572: Greetings, Childe Shadow Blade (1)

Wu Yuan's body refiner self visited Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield 42 with several objectives. The first was to attempt to induce the black pagoda's stone pillar to generate an Origin Blood Droplet.

After all, surpassing the limits of the Yuan Soul to achieve Apotheosis was an extraordinary feat, elevating his soul power far beyond that of others at the same level.

Moreover, Wu Yuan had reason to suspect that his qi refiner self's rapid progress in the Law of Space was not only due to the boost from the power of Faith and his natural talent, but also related to the Apotheosis Yuan Soul.

As for Wu Yuan's body refiner self, with his soul already at the peak of the Soul Will level, a single Origin Blood Droplet should be enough for a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, he failed to achieve this goal.

The black pagoda continuously facilitates the strengthening of my body refiner self's physique. Whether it was initially establishing a second-degree eldritch root, or later evolving into the Celestial Divine Body when given the three choices, they all essentially strengthened the body. Wu Yuan mused silently.

Meanwhile, the black pagoda of my qi refiner self rapidly strengthens the soul. It generated Origin Blood Droplets after a sufficient degree of slaughter, fortifying my soul to an unbelievable level.

The qi refiner self's first-degree immortal root? Merely a byproduct of the soul evolving to an Apotheosis Yuan Soul.

Wu Yuan had an epiphany – the black pagodas of his two true selves were focused on enhancing their respective strengths. For his qi refiner self, the focus was on the soul. For his body refiner self, the focus was on the physique.

At the Spiritual Body phase, my body refiner self received a great opportunity; at the Amethyst Cradle phase, my qi refiner self received a great opportunity. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. Does this mean my body refiner self will have to wait until the Elysian Field phase for another opportunity from the black pagoda?

These were merely Wu Yuan's speculations and deductions about the black pagoda. There were many mysteries that still awaited further exploration.

Besides researching the black pagoda's wonders, the other two purposes for coming to the Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield were to accumulate blood mist and complete trial tasks.

Looking across the entire macrocosm, the only place where I can safely accumulate blood mist without risk is the Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield.

Venturing to the Greenridge Immortal World held many uncertainties, and replenishing blood mist might prove difficult, so Wu Yuan naturally had to make thorough preparations.

As for the trial tasks? The reason was simple - the Origin Eldritch Field periodically issued trial tasks to its talented disciples. Some trial tasks were optional, while others were mandatory.

For example, one mandatory task was: become a seventh-rank fighter in an entry-level Eldritch-Immortal battlefield. This was an ordinary trial task.

Fourth Origin Eldritch Field members at the Amethyst Cradle/Shambhala phase were required to complete a minimum of ten ordinary trial tasks or one elite trial task. This requirement was set by the eldritch world.

If one failed to complete the trial task requirements before breaking through to the Void Refiner/Elysian Field phase? Then they would not qualify to enter the Third Origin Eldritch Field.

Becoming a seventh-rank fighter posed some difficulty for ordinary Fourth Origin Eldritch Field members. A single misstep could lead to their deaths.

Completing ten such tasks consecutively? Each task was a life-and-death ordeal. Even with the numerous abilities possessed by Origin Eldritch Field geniuses, many died while carrying out their missions.

For this reason, the vast majority of Origin Eldritch Field geniuses would spend several hundred years consolidating their foundation before breaking through to the next cultivation phase.

Starting from the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field, batch after batch of geniuses were screened, tempered, and eliminated.

Nine out of ten geniuses would perish on the path to becoming an Archimmortal. Those who ultimately survived were destined to be existences with remarkable strength and providence.

The eldritch world isn’t looking to produce ordinary Archimmortals who die out every hundred million years, but eternal Astral Lords and powerful Astral Monarchs who can endure through the ages. Wu Yuan's understanding of the eldritch world's objectives deepened.

His feelings on these matters grew more profound.

The intelligence also included detailed introductions to the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Continent, as well as the numerous powerful figures within their ranks. It even introduced the famous Void Refiner/Elysian Field and Amethyst Cradle/Shambhala geniuses from each sect etc.

One could imagine how detailed this intelligence was. If not for the Blood Shadow Plane, Wu Yuan would not have been able to obtain it, at least not with his own abilities.

“Sir, the spacetime coordinates you requested correspond to a special world called the Thunder Marsh World on the White Sea Immortal Continent. Historically, an Astral Monarch once resided there, leaving behind many treasures and a powerful array covering the entire world. This gave rise to the world’s unique characteristics, leading to the emergence of many Thunder Dao treasures...

The Thunder Marsh World is jointly controlled by the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Continent. Our intelligence operatives are unable to infiltrate the world, and the next time the six major sects will open it for exploration is six months from now.

Therefore, we have created the following identity for you, Sir. This allows you to enter the Thunder Marsh World with the Longstar Immortal Sect’s team...

Here are the precautions to note of...

Regarding the relevant identity tokens, White Sea Immortal Voidrealm Jade and so on, please inform us of your location, Sir, and we will have them delivered." The red-robed figure explained with utmost politeness.

Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Years ago, when his body-refined self acquired the Bronze Immutable Token, why didn't he rush there right away? After reviewing the spacetime coordinates, he realized there was no opportunity to enter.

The only exception would be if someone like Astral Monarch Hou Qu took Wu Yuan in. But why would Astral Monarch Hou Qu do such a favor for him?

What was a trial task? To Eldritch Sovereign Kua Chi, it meant requiring Wu Yuan to rely on his own abilities and mobilize the resources he could tap on to reach the coordinate location and enter the Immutable Land.

If he relied on his elders and asked for help with everything, how could that be called a trial?

The reason for delaying it until now was that after making inquiries, he learned that the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Continent would gather groups of immortal cultivators to enter the Thunder Marsh World during this period. Wu Yuan could blend in among them to enter the world.

"Have all the tokens sent to the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field," Wu Yuan quickly informed the location. "I will arrange for someone to retrieve them."

"Understood," the red-robed figure said respectfully.

...

Time passed.

Wu Yuan quietly returned to the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field, ordered Cen Jiang and the others to retrieve the tokens, and swiftly departed again after collecting them.

There was no need for additional preparations. Before his body refiner self went to Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield 42, Wu Yuan had already prepared everything he needed. Thus, he departed without hesitation.

Within the vast Cang Feng Eldritch World, Wu Yuan's authority granted him access to all super-large teleportation arrays. Thus, after just two days and some adjustments to his appearance, Wu Yuan reached the border between the Cang Feng Eldritch World and the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

His reason for passing through the Eternal Sun Immortal World was simple.

Trial participants from the Greenridge Immortal World join the Immortal Court camp in the Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield. From the perspective of the entire macrocosm, the Greenridge Immortal World is also subtly aligned with the Immortal Court. Though they have yet to engage in an all-out war with the Cang Feng Eldritch World, the underlying tensions are not insignificant. Wu Yuan mused to himself, well aware of this fact.

However, while the Eternal Sun Immortal World leaned towards the Eldritch Court faction, there was no direct conflict between the Eternal Sun Immortal World and Greenridge Immortal World.

The relationships between the seven top-tier factions were exceedingly complex.
