The battlefield is always the main theme.
In the Central Plains, Heretical Path cultivates by attacking the surrounding Barbaric Wilderness, which too becomes a battlefield.
The struggle against the group from the Western Emperor's Way is also a battlefield.
Similarly, now fighting against this emerging Great Demonic Path is also taking place on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, one can achieve merits and become stronger, just as mortals, who spend much time on the mortal battlefield, will gain ample experience and increased strength. Likewise, Qi Cultivators who stay long on the battlefield will grow stronger, in addition to the rewards from the Imperial Court.
It might be a sudden surge of blood courage, or an impromptu change in formation, executing an extraordinary command, thereby gaining increased cultivation level, greater strength, and various uncanny Divine Skills.
