Chapter 1068 - Pie Falls from the Sky

Having been trapped for nearly half a year, Chen Fan had no clue what had happened. So, he needed to be updated on the current situation.

He didn’t make things difficult for the seven of them. He let them go after getting a status update on the ancient battlefield.

But what he learned shocked him.

In his absence, both the ancient battlefield and the Tianwu Continent had seen major upheavals.

The biggest shock? The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had returned.

How unexpected. Not only have they resurfaced, but they did so boldly, flaunting their power. Four Void Immortal Supremes... Tsk tsk, truly fitting for a sect that once rivaled the Nebulous Divine Palace. The depth of their strength is indeed terrifying.

Chen Fan had long suspected they would return, but this soon? And at the perfect moment. The ancient battlefield’s emergence gave them the stage to reassert dominance, intimidating all who stood in their way.

Although they were far from comparable to their peak three thousand years ago, no singular force on the Tianwu Continent could compare to their four Void Immortal Supremes.

Moreover, they could have even more hidden power.

However, it was not Chen Fan’s turn to have a headache over these matters.

Although his cultivation was very high and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, when it came to those Legends and Void Immortal Supremes, he was like an ant.

As expected of the Nebulous Divine Palace. Their battlefield has attracted over a million martial artists, leading to the establishment of dozens of cities...

Chen Fan now had a rough understanding of the situation of the entire ancient battlefield.

Whatever. Senior brothers and sisters must have been worried sick since they couldn’t contact me during. Let’s first visit the Little True Martial City and show my face to ease their worries. Next, let’s head deeper to search for opportunities and treasures.

Unlike the True Martial City in the outside world, Little True Martial City was an outpost built and governed by the True Martial Academy within the ancient battlefield. Since it was built and governed by the academy, it was known as the Little True Martial City to the people.

With a flash, Chen Fan tore through the sky, vanishing into the horizon.

Little True Martial City:

As a city built and governed by the True Martial Academy, the Little True Martial City occupied an extremely vast area.

Inside the city, all essential stores were readily available.

However, no one dared to act recklessly in the city, not even Legendary realm experts.

This time, the True Martial Academy had mobilized two high elders to lead their people into the ancient battlefield. One of them was Mu Wuji, who presided over the True Martial Assembly in the past, and the other was known as Granny Silver Flower.

With two Invincible Legendary realm experts overseeing them—both renowned in their cultivation—no one would dare cause trouble in the Little True Martial City. Even dragons and tigers had to behave here.

Aside from the two Invincible Legendary realms, Mu Wuji and Granny Silver Flower, elite disciples from the other eight main peaks had also arrived.

They were not here just to search for treasures; the academy intended to use the battlefield to temper them.

The True Martial Academy was fully committed.

Backed by two Invincible Legendary realms, they also had Greater and Lesser Legendary realm experts from the other eight main peaks, forming an imposing force.

The entrance to the ancient battlefield was in the eastern continent, after all. The True Martial Academy had the strategic and geographical advantage. As for the other forces from the central, southern, western, and northern continents, they found it less convenient to send reinforcements.

Of course, with time, those forces also sent additional manpower over, just in case.

Swish.

Chen Fan descended outside the Little True Martial City. He stepped into the city and ran straight toward the City Lord Mansion.

Only the disciples of the True Martial Academy could enter the City Lord Mansion, which covered a huge area.

“

Hmm

? It’s Chen Fan!”

“I heard he informed the academy of the ancient battlefield appearing.”

“That’s right. I heard he was among the first batch of people to enter the ancient battlefield. After he discovered this place, he immediately sent news to the Peerless Peak and had Di Chen and the others inform the academy.”

“He was the first to enter the ancient battlefield. He probably obtained plenty of opportunities and treasures over the past half a year.”

The City Lord Mansion bustled with activity, filled with academy disciples.

Naturally, they were no strangers to Chen Fan, so his arrival immediately drew attention.

Hearing the murmurs of these people, he felt helpless.

If they knew he had been trapped in that damned tomb for half a year without obtaining any treasures, would they still envy him?

After learning where the Peerless Peak’s lineage resided, he made his way over.

Peerless Peak had few people, so when Chen Fan went over, there was no one around. They had all gone searching for treasures and opportunities. Even Huang Wuji, a Legend, was out searching for his pot of gold.

After all, even Legendary realm experts could find opportunities and treasures in the ancient battlefield. If one found the resting place of a fallen Void Immortal Supreme and obtained their legacy, rising to that level wouldn’t be impossible.

After leaving a letter behind, Chen Fan left the Little True Martial City.

Since his senior brothers and sisters weren’t around, waiting was pointless; treasure hunts could last days, months, or even years.

......

When Chen Fan stepped into the ancient battlefield again, he received a constant stream of news, tales of those blessed with heaven-defying luck obtaining treasures or martial arts. Their cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds, and their strength would increase drastically.

Among the latest news, one piece stood out: an ancient Bodhi tree had appeared in the ancient battlefield. Its greatest power lay in revealing one’s core, making it easier for martial artists to perceive the laws.

One could imagine its allure.

With it, even a pig could step into the Legendary realm, while those talented few would be like a tiger gaining a pair of wings, with hopes of becoming a Void Immortal Supreme.

The Bodhi ancient tree wasn’t the towering, sky-covering legend of old but merely human-sized. Many had seen it, leading to speculation that it had recently sprouted from a branch.

Its effects would naturally be far inferior to an entire Bodhi ancient tree, but it was still enough to make countless experts go crazy for it.

Even a mere branch could incite chaos, let alone a tree this size.

Yet Chen Fan didn’t dwell on it. After all, even Void Immortal Supremes would be moved by a Bodhi ancient tree. Too many experts would wish to obtain it.

As someone not even in the Legendary realm, seizing it was a fool’s dream. Accepting this reality, he chose not to get involved.

In a valley, Chen Fan was about to collect the dragon vein qi underground when suddenly...

Boom!

The place shook violently. A heavy object crashed onto the ground violently, like it could collapse mountains and crack the earth.

This sudden turn of events made Chen Fan jump in fright.

He looked over and discovered that it was a human-sized tree. It seemed to have been carved out of green jade, emitting a clear, spiritual light of treasure.

Its every leaf was translucent. A single glance drew one in, as if revealing their entire past before their eyes.

Chen Fan’s heart trembled violently when he saw it.

Could this be the Bodhi tree that has been causing a stir recently?
