Battlefield [2.1k]
Translator: CinderTL
In the enclosed space of the warship, time had unknowingly slipped away.
This Void Warship traversed the void time and again, arriving at one world after another, bringing aboard the cultivators who had "registered" from those worlds.
Long before the Profound Yellow Great World merged into the Immortal Alliance and the Human Race system, supreme beings had inscribed the rules governing the Profound Yellow Great World and its surrounding realms, embedding a seemingly simple formation that allowed registration for the Multiracial Hegemony War into the great Dao rules.
Any cultivator who utilized that formation could register to participate in the nearby Multiracial Hegemony at any time.
No one could stop them.
The power of this rule was even stronger than that of the Profound Yellow List, radiating not only within the Profound Yellow Great World but also extending to the surrounding realms and Lesser Worlds.
When Li Chunjun first learned about the characteristics of the Multiracial Hegemony, he registered using this rudimentary formation, and a few months later, he awaited the arrival of the Void Warship from the Multitude-Tribes Hegemony War Committee.
Half a month after he boarded the Void Warship, it had completed its journey through the remaining thirty-six Lesser Worlds, picking up dozens of Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators.
Ultimately, this warship carried thousands of people, heading straight for Two Realms Mountain.
...
Another half month passed.
Li Chunjun suddenly received a notification to come to the ship's bridge.
By the time he arrived on the warship, over a hundred people were already waiting there.
Li Chunjun glanced around; each one was a True Lord who had attained the Nascent Soul.
Some were staff of the Void Warship, while others were evidently participants in the battle at Two Realms Mountain.
"This way."
Yuan Xiao greeted Li Chunjun.
Even the captain and vice-captain, Wan Li Xue, smiled and nodded at him.
Li Chunjun's reputation was well-known aboard the Void Warship, and no one dared to gossip.
They had enough awareness of confidentiality.
Thus, when several captains greeted Li Chunjun simultaneously, many were taken aback.
Especially upon discovering he was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, some began to discreetly inquire about his background.
Li Chunjun naturally paid them no mind.
After reaching Yuan Xiao's side, his gaze turned forward: "Are we arriving?"
"Yes, we will make one more traversal."
As Yuan Xiao spoke, the external environment changed once again.
The surroundings became a gray haze, as if entering another space, creating a sense of oppression.
Fortunately, this oppressive feeling lasted only about ten breaths before suddenly dissipating.
Then, at the end of their line of sight, a massive artificial celestial body, over a thousand miles in diameter, appeared before Li Chunjun.
It was a gray-white spherical celestial body, and at that moment, thousands of flying objects similar to their Void Warship were continuously entering its interior.
In and out, bustling with activity.
In front of this gray-white sphere was a chaotic, twisted nebula.
The nebula spanned millions of miles, within which fragments of land could be vaguely seen.
Yet these broken lands strangely gave a sense of wholeness.
The two conflicting perceptions made it extremely disorienting to behold.
Li Chunjun gazed at this scene…
Had he not embarked on the path of cultivation, if he had remained in the Great Shang on Blue Star, he might never have witnessed such a scene that far exceeded his imagination.
"This is the external command center of the Two Realms Mountain battlefield, the Frigid Jade Fortress!"
Yuan Xiao looked at the massive celestial body with a diameter of over a thousand miles: "Its main structure is forged from White Frigid Gold, inscribed with one thousand and twenty-four formations, controlled by ten thousand and eight hundred cultivators as a Warfare Dao Artifact. Once charged, a single strike can extinguish a star."
A single strike to extinguish a star.
A star, no less.
Such power…
Even the Void Refining experts would find it hard to withstand.
Moreover, Li Chunjun had heard of White Frigid Gold; it was a material used for crafting Mystic Treasures.
At present, the main body of a sphere a thousand miles in diameter was actually forged from this metal…
It was unimaginable how many Mystic Treasures could be crafted if these materials were used for filling.
As Li Chunjun observed, the warship drew closer to the celestial body until it was pulled in by the formation's power, officially entering the celestial body.
Upon entering, what greeted his eyes was not a steel sky but a blue sky with white clouds.
Moreover, the internal space was once again stretched by spatial forces, making its actual area a hundred times larger than it appeared.
The warship swiftly traversed under the pull of a stream of light, soon arriving at a circular, pillar-like tower that soared at least ten thousand meters high.
The tower had a diameter of about three hundred meters, and at its upper reaches, platforms resembling lotus petals spread out, providing docking for the warship.
As the warship stabilized, a group of over a hundred Nascent Soul and thousands of Core Formation cultivators, led by Yuan Xiao and Wan Li Xue, disembarked and were taken into a grand hall within the tower-like structure.
Many people were already waiting there.
Li Chunjun spotted a middle-aged man in formal attire, wearing a "Third Level Cosmic Light" military rank.
Cosmic Light!
This was…
A Primordial Spirit True Monarch! Once everyone had gathered, Wan Li Xue, Yuan Xiao, and others stepped away from the group and approached the Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
"I am Lu Xiu Yuan, the senior commander of the Frigid Jade Fortress! Thank you all for stepping onto the Two Realms Mountain battlefield for the Azure Wave Domain, for the Profound Yellow Great World, and for the Human Race!"
The Primordial Spirit True Monarch delivered his speech.
After a brief address, a man beside him with a "Third Level Sun Radiance" military rank shouted.
"Salute!"
Everyone, including Lu Xiu Yuan, the Primordial Spirit True Monarch and senior commander, as well as Wan Li Xue, Yuan Xiao, and all others, simultaneously performed a unique gesture of respect towards Li Chunjun and the thousands of Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators.
This scene left many Core Formation cultivators bewildered. Some were unsure how to return the salute in the presence of so many high-ranking figures.
However, more wore solemn expressions.
Once the salute concluded, the man with the Third Level Sun Radiance military rank shouted again: "Award ranks!"
At that moment, over a dozen individuals from Wan Li Xue's group stepped forward.
Simultaneously, someone began to call out names.
"Sun Mou!"
"Zhao Yu Pan!"
"Gu Xin Ran!"
One by one, the cultivators whose names were called stepped forward.
Meanwhile, the prepared Nascent Soul cultivators beside Lu Xiu Yuan stepped up to personally award them their military insignia.
The Core Formation cultivators were awarded by the Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Nascent Soul cultivators were personally awarded by Lu Xiu Yuan.
After calling out thirteen names, Li Chunjun's name was soon heard.
In an instant, many mid-Nascent Soul True Lords' gazes fell upon Li Chunjun once more.
The first thirteen were all late-stage Great True Lords, yet Li Chunjun, an early-stage Nascent Soul, was able to follow right after them to receive his rank from Lu Xiu Yuan…
This alone signified something.
As Li Chunjun stepped forward, Lu Xiu Yuan placed a military insignia adorned with two golden suns before him.
"I believe you have your own considerations for choosing to step onto the Two Realms Mountain battlefield! I will be here, waiting for your brilliant performance, and also…"
Lu Xiu Yuan looked at Li Chunjun sincerely and said, "Come back alive!"
"Of course."
Li Chunjun replied, placing his hand on the military insignia.
As his Divine Sense infused, it activated, and the insignia quickly transformed into a golden energy, merging into his hand.
This insignia, which could be considered a Mystic Treasure, brought forth a multitude of wondrous uses to his mind.
It would record the process of the cultivator's battles, allow communication with other teammates, and serve as a voucher for exchanging cultivation resources.
Moreover, possessing this item undoubtedly added another layer of identity for the cultivator.
In ordinary times, it might not matter much, but once a cultivator registered to participate in a certain hegemony war, during the time they were taken away by the Void Warship, as long as they did not initiate trouble, anyone daring to act against them would face accountability from the Multitude-Tribes Hegemony War Committee.
The awarding process continued smoothly.
After the ranks were awarded, the group was arranged to rest for a few days while waiting for everyone to gather.
During this time, many people exchanged conversations.
Some even formed teams during this period.
However, due to the peculiar nature of the Two Realms Mountain battlefield, where chaotic spaces were everywhere, the significance of team formation was minimal.
Once inside, people could easily get separated, and reuniting would not be an easy task.
In such circumstances, people could only try to become familiar with each other, maintaining contact to ensure that when danger arose, they could count on their connections to lend a helping hand.
Although Li Chunjun only displayed early Nascent Soul cultivation, due to Lu Xiu Yuan's attention, many came to greet him.
This process lasted for six days.
On a certain morning six days later, everyone suddenly received a gathering order.
When they appeared in the main hall at the top of the tower, a formation was already activated and ready.
The formation shimmered with radiant light, emitting strong spatial fluctuations.
The Primordial Spirit True Monarch Lu Xiu Yuan, who had previously helped them with their ranks, stood nearby.
"Everyone, it is time to step onto the battlefield and gain glory!"
The Primordial Spirit True Monarch's Divine Sense enveloped the space: "In the short millennium since we engaged with the Two Realms Mountain, we have fought thirty-four battles against the Divine Race! The longest interval between wars has been merely sixty years. What does this mean!? It means that the Two Realms Mountain is crucial for us and for the Divine Race!"
What he said was indeed a fact.
Void Stones were an extremely important strategic resource.
"Right now, the decision-making power over such an important resource point lies in your hands!"
Lu Xiu Yuan's gaze swept over everyone.
And everyone felt as if they were being scrutinized by this Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
"This war will determine whether we emerge victorious, gaining a large number of Void Crystal Stones to forge more Void Warships, making the Azure Sea Domain even more prosperous! Or whether we suffer a crushing defeat, helplessly watching as the precious resources belonging to our Human Race domain are seized by other races, turning into weapons against us! It all depends on your battle!"
These words ignited fervor in many Core Formation and even Nascent Soul True Lords.
Especially under the influence of Lu Xiu Yuan's Divine Sense, their fighting spirit gradually ignited.
"Your parents and families are watching you, your friends and loved ones are watching you, your sects and clans are also watching you! Now, step onto the battlefield, and showcase your bravery, demonstrating the strength of the Human Race, achieving your own glory!"
Lu Xiu Yuan's expression was fierce: "Let those foreign races understand that the Azure Wave Domain can only belong to our Human Race, and the Profound Yellow Realm will always be our Human Race's Profound Yellow Realm! In all the heavens and worlds, only our Human Race can be the master!"
With that, he swung his hand fiercely: "May the Human Dao prosper forever!"
"May the Human Dao prosper forever!"
Hundreds and thousands of people, influenced by the atmosphere, responded involuntarily.
In the next moment, the formation beneath their feet was activated to its fullest extent.
Brilliant streams of light enveloped the thousands of people on the formation.
Accompanied by the streams of light breaking through the void, they shot out of the tower, with thousands of people riding these beams of light, heading straight for the Two Realms Mountain, millions of miles away.
If one were to pull back their view at that moment, they would find that the beams of light were not just one.
But rather hundreds, thousands!
All the beams of light swept through the void, quickly pouring into the chaotic space of the Two Realms Mountain, becoming confused, distorted, and swallowed by the space, disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, in the Azure Sea Domain, countless sects, forces, and individuals closely monitoring the battle at Two Realms Mountain received news almost simultaneously.
The Multiracial Hegemony・Battle of Two Realms Mountain had officially begun!
