After accompanying Little Yao and Bao’er for a few days, Tang Ye started to gather the spirit herbs that Elder Mu asked him to gather. With Lin Shan’s help, he’d gathered all the materials without encountering any difficulty. After he finished gathering the spirit herbs and medicinal herbs, Tang Ye bid his farewells to Lin Shan and headed below Death Abyss. Even though Tang Ye had won in the battle with Yuan Tong, it allowed him to realize his insufficiencies. After all, if he hadn’t utilized the tiny vortex and the Dao Artifact, and if he had merely relied on his own combat instinct and sword techniques, then the outcome of the battle was unpredictable! Moreover, according to the Founding Emperor, the youths from the Devil Race that he would encounter at the Ancient Battlefield were much more monstrous geniuses than Yuan Tong. So, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible. Especially his physical body! If he hadn’t relied on his extremely formidable physical body during the battle with Yuan Tong, then he would absolutely not dare to fight Yuan Tong in close quartered combat. Because Yuan Tong’s combat instinct was truly terrifying. Especially when Yuan Tong had comprehended both Battle Intent and Fist Intent! Under such circumstances, an ordinary physical body would be utterly unable to endure a single punch from Yuan Tong. In short, he had numerous insufficiencies. So, he’d headed to the Death Abyss to look for Elder Mu again. Even though he didn’t know what this mysterious old man wanted him to do in the future, Elder Mu was the only one who could help him now. So, he had no other choice! Outside Elder Mu’s cottage, Elder Mu supported himself with the walking stick. He gazed at Tang Ye and grinned before he said, “You obtained the 1st position on the Ascension Rankings?” “It was only luck!” Tang Ye nodded, and then he described the battle between him and Yuan Tong. After a short while, Elder Mu nodded lightly and said, “You really were lucky. Even though Yuan Tong was said to be the Quasi Martial Emperor, he hadn’t comprehended the Heart of the Strong. If he’d comprehended it, then you would probably be unable to defeat him even if you utilized that Dao Artifact. Haha.... The Martial God. After such an existence that could become the Martial God finally appeared in the southern territory, he was destroyed at your hands!” Tang Ye shook his head and didn’t say anything. No matter if it was the Martial God or the Sword Emperor, he wasn’t interested at all. Since the very beginning, he only had a single objective, and that was to rescue his mother from the Flower Palace! Elder Mu suddenly asked. “If I’m not wrong, then you’re probably heading to the Ancient Battlefield next?” Tang Ye was stunned, and then he said, “How did you know, Elder Mu?” Elder Mu smiled lightly, and then he revealed a serious expression and said, “The Ancient Battlefield is said to be the grave of geniuses. No matter how much of a genius one was, it’s possible to be buried there. Because there’s never a lack of monstrous geniuses there. At that place, there’s no one that’s the most monstrous genius because there’s always an even more monstrous genius. Right, even if you’ve attained the Enlightened Sword Heart and initial-stage of Sword Intent, you can only be considered as average there!” “The members of the Devil Race are really so terrifying?” asked Tang Ye with a low voice. Elder Mu shook his head, and then he raised his head to look up into the sky as he said slowly, “Looks like you don’t have a good understanding of the Ancient Battlefield. The reason it’s called the Ancient Battlefield isn’t merely because it’s the battlefield of the humans and Darkbeasts against the Devil Race.” When he spoke up to here, Elder Mu suddenly turned to look at Tang Ye before he said, “Do you know how large this continent is?” Tang Ye was stunned, and then he shook his head. What a joke? How could he possibly know how large the continent was? The furthest he’d been was only the Grand Myriad Mountains! Elder Mu spoke slowly. “During the ancient times, this continent was called Profounder Continent. One day, a precious treasure suddenly appeared on Profounder Continent, and this treasure was called the Boundless Sea of Energy. For the sake of seizing this precious treasure, two top experts of Profounder Continent engaged each other in battle. Both of them were the supreme experts of that time, and any one of them could shatter a star with a single strike of the palm. After a hundred years of fighting, their battle had caused Profounder Continent to shatter apart into nine territories!” They shattered an entire continent. Such strength.... Tang Ye suppressed the shock in his heart, and then he asked. “Elder Mu, what you mean is that our southern territory is one of those nine territories?” Elder Mu nodded and said, “The extreme north that is the other side of the Heaven Tower Mountain Range is actually another territory, and it’s called the Devil Territory!” “Since it used to be a single continent, then why has no one from the other territories come to the southern territory?” asked Tang Ye. Elder Mu sighed and said, “Because every single territory was sealed off by the supreme strength of an expert. For example, the reason the Heaven Tower Mountain Range is able to obstruct the Devil Race isn’t that it’s impossible to scale, and it’s instead because that expert’s seal resides there!” “Then why are the youths of the Devil Race able to climb over the mountain range and arrive at the southern territory?” asked Tang Ye. Elder Mu chuckled and said, “There are always people of exceptional ability emerging throughout the generations. Even though he was extremely formidable, that expert has perished in the end. On the other hand, even though the strength of the Devil Race’s Devil Exalt is inferior to that expert, the gap between them isn’t huge. So, he has been weakening the seal on Heaven Tower Mountain Range, and that’s why countless youths from the Devil Race can come to the southern territory from the Devil Territory!”
