Chapter 230: Exploring The Ancient Battlefield, The White-Robed General, One Of The Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations
Sunsoil City, outside the city gate.
Leng Changkong and his people were waiting for Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu. Once they saw the both of them, they walked up to them welcomingly.
“My two friends, let’s begin our journey.”
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.
Under Leng Changkong’s lead, the group of people ventured into the Ancient Battlefield.
The Ancient Battlefield was separated into the Outer Zone, the Inner Zone, and the Core Area. Leng Changkong and his troop usually explored around the Outer Zone only, rarely stepping foot into the Inner Zone, what more the Core Area.
That place was extremely dreaded even by Sages.
Along the way, the people that Leng Changkong had brought along were secretly gazing at Chu Kuangren and his companion, their eyes full of curiosity.
They had heard a lot about Black Heaven Sect, but this was the first time they met someone from the sect in person.
Besides, their looks were quite extraordinary. Even though Chu Kuangren covered his face with a spiritual veil, his magnificent temperament was still hard to conceal.
While the rest of them were glancing at him, Chu Kuangren had already silently activated the Treasure Locating Technique to search for any treasures around them.
This one search immediately made him gasp in awe.
“Three hundred meters south, there is a supreme weapon.”
“Four hundred meters southeast, there is a supreme weapon… A thousand and five hundred meters southeast, there is a broken Boundary-Sage-Grade weapon…”
“Three thousand meters southwest…”
“Four thousand meters west…”
Messages after messages kept coming in.
The majority of those were weapon-type treasures, but this was what Chu Kuangren had expected. After all, this was the Ancient Battlefield.
Since they were battles, surely there had to be weapons.
“Brother Leng, please stop for a while.”
After walking a distance, Chu Kuangren suddenly spoke.
Everyone was stunned.
“Anything, Brother Chu? Do you need a rest?”
“No. Move that rock beside you.”
Chu Kuangren pointed to a large rock beside Leng Changkong and said.
Leng Changkong did not understand why he was instructed to do so, but he still did it anyway. When he moved the rock aside and saw what was beneath it, the whole group of people gleamed with joy.
Under the rock was an iron armor!
There were runes carved on the iron armor. Although it looked old and worn out, the material it was made of looked rare. If they were to sell it, they could surely trade it for quite some soulstones.
“Brother Chu, how did you find this thing?”
“I have a sharp sense when it comes to detecting some treasures.”
Chu Kuangren smiled faintly.
“Are you a natural-born supernatural?” Leng Changkong was slightly surprised.
In this world, there were certain people who had special abilities that were just like a Daoist Physique, and these people were referred to as supernatural.
Certain Daoist Physiques were supernatural too.
“I never thought that you’d have such abilities, Brother Chu.” Leng Changkong smiled, then passed Chu Kuangren the iron armor.
To him, Chu Kuangren was the one who discovered this iron armor, so it naturally should belong to him.
However, Chu Kuangren shook his head. “This thing has no use for me. I think you should keep it, Brother Leng.”
“I can’t take this. You’re the one who found this, so it should be yours. I can’t be greedy.”
“Hmm, why don’t you keep it first? When we get back, we’ll lay out all the things we looted and distribute it by then.” Chu Kuangren smiled in response.
Leng Changkong pondered for a while before agreeing. “Well… alright.”
The group of people continued to march forward.
Since he had revealed his sharp treasure-seeking senses, Chu Kuangren did not hold back anymore and revealed the locations of all the treasures nearby them.
Nonetheless, these treasures were all too worthless for him. Even when it came to supreme weapons that could send Leng Changkong and his men into waves of excitement, it was too common a sight for him.
Hence, he decided to part ways with Leng Changkong and his group in a while more to venture into the Inner Zone with Lan Yu, to check out if there were any rare finds.
“Hey, this is another supreme weapon!”
Under Chu Kuangren’s lead, Leng Changkong and his men found another piece of supreme weapon. The whole atmosphere was plunged into a huge camaraderie.
The edge of their mouths curled upwards as they let out incredibly delighted smiles.
They looked toward Chu Kuangrenwith a sense of admiration.
“Brother Chu, this Treasure-Locating Technique of yours is way too powerful. Its utility in the Ancient Battlefield is massive.”
“Exactly. With you here, this Ancient Battlefield has become an infinite, giant treasure chest!”
The group could not help but be shocked and moved.
It had to be known that throughout their whole journey, the treasures that they had found with Chu Kuangren’s guidance far exceeded what they had collected for the past few decades.
How outrageous was this?
If word had gone out about this ability of Chu Kuangren’s, they fear that all adventurers of the entire Ancient Battlefield would rave.
Meanwhile, Leng Changkong stared at Chu Kuangrenas if he was deep in thought.
So far, they had indeed obtained many treasures on their way here, wherein quite a few of them were supreme weapons.
However, he noticed that Chu Kuangren was not at all interested in these treasures as if they were roadside junk to him.
This made him feel that there was more to this person.
“Even in Black Heaven Sect, a single supreme weapon would attract the full attention of most disciples.”
“Only a few sky-prides could resist supreme weapons. Could he actually be one of them?”
Leng Changkong said to himself in his mind, speculating who Chu Kuangren really was.
As for the possibility of him being the Black Heaven Sect Leader, he dared not think until that point.
Such kind of character appearing before him in person would be too good to be real.
Tap tap…
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard from not far away.
What met their eyes next was a figure who wore broken armor and held a saber in one hand, walking in the direction of Chu Kuangren and the group.
Chu Kuangren gave the person a weird glance from top to bottom because to his astonishment, he noticed that there was no sign of life on this person.
This meant that it was not human!
“Is this what they call a tormented soul?”
Chu Kuangren mumbled under his breath.
There was a kind of unique existence at the Ancient Battlefield, and that was the tormented souls.
The so-called tormented souls were formed from the combination of the Ancient Battlefield’s endless ferocious qi and the resentful spirits of the fallen ones from battle.
They roamed around the Ancient Battlefield, replaying the gruesome scenes of carnage over and over, day after day, and they were the most dangerous existence on the Ancient Battlefield.
“It’s just a normal tormented soul.”
Leng Changkong swept a glance at the tormented soul, which did not bother him at all.
One of the people from his troop held a sword in one hand and charged forward. In just a few moments, they annihilated that tormented soul.
After the tormented soul was destroyed, it turned into a billow of smoke and dissipated.
However, its resentment did not vanish as it returned to the earth. All it needed was more time and it would then combine with the ferocious qi once again, forming a new tormented soul.
This was the reason there were never-ending tormented souls on the Ancient Battlefield.
After settling that tormented soul, the group of people stopped for a respite.
“Right, have you guys heard of the White-Robed General legend?”
One of the more talkative teens in the troop suddenly spoke.
“Nonsense. This is one of the most well-known legends of the Ancient Battlefield, and also one of the Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations. Of course, people would’ve heard of it.”
One of them laughed in return.
Those words then piqued Chu Kuangren’s interest. “Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations? It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of this. Mind telling me more?”
“Sure I can.”
The talkative teen continued, “The Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations refer to the seven unsolved mysteries of the cultivation world. For instance, the floating ghost ship, the headless female corpse, and more… This White-Robed General of the Ancient Battlefield is one of them.”
“Legend has it that there is a certain White-Robed General in the Ancient Battlefield. Everywhere he passes would descend into damnation, and every tormented soul would stay away from it. People say that this White-Robed General is the King of the Ancient Battlefield, an eternal murderous soul birthed from the infinite ferocious qi of the Ancient Battlefield. Some people also say that this White-Robed General was, many years back, a general from one of the countries around here. He perished in battle here, where his resentful spirit remained since…”
The talkative teen narrated the story vividly and enthusiastically.
However, while they were listening, the group of people suddenly sensed that something was not quite right.
The sky had suddenly turned dark.
