Return to the Ancient Battlefield

When Yang Meng opened her eyes, she looked around in confusion. After fully awakening, her vision had finally returned. She could now see everything with her own eyes, just like this moment.

But then, the third eye on her forehead suddenly opened, and countless pieces of information began flooding in. Yang Meng, who had just awakened, instantly fell into enlightenment once again.

"It seems she's beginning to comprehend the laws. That Heavenly Eye must be a special Karma Eye."

Looking at Yang Meng before her, Lin Yao nodded with envy. The moment the Heavenly Eye awakened, Yang Meng had entered the mid-stage of Divine Transformation. Now, she should be able to step onto the path of laws, and it would only be a matter of time before she reached the Dao Comprehension stage.

After all, Su Min had left them a total of ten Dao Comprehension Pills, and more than half still remained. Such abundant resources would make the entire world envious.

Meanwhile...

"Unity Pill."

Looking at the pill in her hand, Su Min narrowed her eyes and spoke calmly. This time, she had succeeded in refining it in a single attempt. As for the remaining two sets of materials, they now belonged to her. This was excellent news—many of the ingredients were versatile, and she could use them for others.

"A Unity Pill with four-colored pill lightning. If this were released, countless superpowers would fight tooth and nail for it." Seeing the pill before her, Jiang Xi smiled.

Su Min had now handed the pill to her. As for the pill lightning earlier, Jiang Xi had seen it as well. The only fortunate thing was that the area was shielded by the grand formation left behind by Yao Xian'er.

Thus, no one outside had noticed, and there was no need to worry about anyone trying to steal it by force.

"Then I'll take my leave for now. Although I plan to depart soon, I must arrange matters properly before I go. Once I leave this time, I don't know when I'll return."

With that, Su Min smiled, bid farewell to Jiang Xi, and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing without a trace.

She now needed to return to her sect to give instructions before heading to the distant shore. She wanted to see what lay there and explore whether she could further unlock her physique.

Although the Five Elements Holy Body was powerful, the Chaos Body was even more critical. That was the absolute physique ordained in the game—flawless, without weakness, possessing only absolute strength.

But how to reach that stage was a complete mystery to her. In the original game, only rumors existed, with no concrete method known. Su Min was equally clueless and needed to discuss it thoroughly with Xie Yingying.

Soon, inside the Immortal Sect...

"She's already begun comprehending the laws of karma? Not bad."

First, she took a look at Yang Meng, who was in the midst of enlightenment. The latter had already started merging with the laws. Su Min couldn't help her with this, and it was unclear when she would reach the Dao Comprehension stage.

In any case, Yang Meng was still quite young—only a few hundred years old. For a Divine Transformation cultivator with a lifespan of three thousand years, this was merely youth.

After observing Yang Meng's condition, Su Min sought out Xie Yingying.

This matter could only be discussed with her. Although Little Golden Crow was strong, based on Jiang Xi's earlier explanation, these divine beasts rarely sent their royalty out casually—especially in the current environment, where they were focused on rapidly restoring their clans' strength.

Currently, only ten Golden Crows lived in the Eastern Mulberry Continent. Aside from Little Golden Crow at the Unity stage, there were two others at the Dao Comprehension stage. However, none had yet reached their absolute peak, making it even less likely they would meddle in such affairs.

Unlike humans, divine beasts had abysmal reproductive capabilities. The time required to nurture a single powerhouse was far too long. Unless a great war broke out, the divine beast royalty would not participate in battles—and the rest simply weren't qualified yet.

"You're leaving, just like those two?"

Seeing Su Min call her over, Xie Yingying couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Yes, but there's no rush. I can confirm now that Yao Xian'er and the little monk are still fine. The current turmoil can be handled by them—I don't need to intervene. But there's another matter giving me a headache."

"What is it?"

Hearing Su Min's words, Xie Yingying frowned slightly in confusion.

"About my physique. You know I've always had a trace of Taiyang energy within me. Originally, I had no opportunity, but now that my Five Elements Holy Body has reached completion, I feel something is still missing. It seems my physique can be further perfected. Do you have any ideas?"

"Huh?"

Xie Yingying looked utterly bewildered. Clearly, she couldn't understand what Su Min was getting at. The Five Elements Holy Body was already an overwhelmingly powerful physique—how could it be incomplete? For a moment, Xie Yingying even had the impulse to slap Su Min for being so greedy.

If this statement were made public, countless people would be furious. In the entire world, including Su Min, there were only two individuals with a complete Five Elements Holy Body. Although it was ranked alongside the other four as one of the five great physiques, the Five Elements Holy Body's potential far surpassed the others.

At the very least, even with her Lunar Sovereign Body, Xie Yingying was no match for Su Min.

"Where did you obtain this Taiyang energy?"

"From the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

"I see..."

Xie Yingying scratched her head helplessly. This matter was clearly not easy to resolve.

"Wait, I remember something—perhaps there's a place."

Suddenly, Xie Yingying clapped her hands as if struck by inspiration. Su Min immediately perked up, eager to hear more.

"Do you know the tomb of the Solar Sovereign Emperor?"

In an instant, Su Min's treasure-hunting instincts flared up again. The Solar Sovereign Emperor and Lunar Sovereign Emperor were not singular titles—being among the five great physiques, their upper limits were well-established. Each had multiple emperors and numerous Mahayana experts as their foundation.

The Five Elements Emperor was only included because of their extraordinary brilliance.

But clearly, the Five Elements Holy Body still held many secrets—whether these were unique to Su Min remained unknown.

"Don't joke around. Aside from freaks like the Puppet Emperor, most emperors properly dispose of their remains before death. Otherwise, their corpses could become sources of calamity."

"Ah, right..."

"But I do know a place where there might be remnants of Solar Sovereign Body cultivators."

"Where?"

"The Ancient Battlefield!!!"

"Eh?"

Su Min instinctively shrank her neck—that place had left her with too many unpleasant memories. Back then, when she was with Tian Hao, they had scurried around like rats, hiding at every turn.

But now, if she were to enter, she would have no rivals in the entire Ancient Battlefield. Even the Mahayana corpses were no exception—they were already dead, and Su Min had nothing to fear anymore.

But...

"It's a good place, but can I even enter?"

Su Min spread her hands helplessly. If she couldn't get in, it would all be for nothing.

"Those at the Dao Comprehension stage can't enter, but Unity stage cultivators can. You can fold space and force your way in—I tested it before."

"You tested it?"

"Mm. While you were in seclusion, someone from Lin Yao's world wanted to join her but couldn't enter. They came to me asking for a solution. Since I had nothing better to do, I went to check. I found that after reaching the Unity stage, one could enter without destabilizing the space. I brought them over and left. Now, you can give it a try. Maybe you can cleanse all the evil there and save the worlds corrupted by that foul blood."

"That could work."

Su Min fell silent for a moment before nodding. This might have been beyond Xie Yingying's capabilities, but for Su Min, it was entirely feasible. After all, she possessed the Western Metal's Sharp Gold—the bane of those corrupted beings.

Coupled with her early Unity stage cultivation and her complete Five Elements Holy Body, she could indeed purge everything there.

Since it was on the way, eliminating evil and saving lives would just be a side benefit.

"Then I'll head there first to see if there are any remains of Solar Sovereign Body predecessors."

Su Min nodded. Back then, she and Tian Hao had moved like frightened mice, especially avoiding the Mahayana corpses—they hadn't even dared to get close. But now, things were different. Why fear the remains of dead Mahayana cultivators?

If that was the case, she might as well see if she could permanently purify the area. This had also been Senior White Tiger's dying wish.

When she had received his inheritance, he had hoped she would one day return and bring peace to the land, allowing the tormented souls to finally rest. Since that was the case, she might as well fulfill it.

"Then I'll be off."

With Su Min's impulsive nature, she wouldn't waste time lingering. She immediately bid farewell to Xie Yingying and left. Since this wasn't a journey to the distant shore, there was no need for tearful goodbyes.

However, when Su Min once again set foot on the familiar sea, her mood was entirely different.

Back then, during her first trip with Tian Hao, they had moved with extreme caution, afraid of attracting hordes of corrupted beasts. But now? There was no need for restraint—she would never hold back in this lifetime. She directly released her Unity stage pressure.

Every corrupted beast in her path met a gruesome end, exploding under her aura. Even those at the Dao Comprehension stage were no exception. By the time Su Min reached the gate, all the corrupted beasts in the area had perished—not a single survivor remained. Even the tainted waters had been purified along the way.

"Truly, times have changed."

Looking at the gate before her, Su Min smiled.

So much time had passed. The current her—a Unity stage cultivator—was incomparable to her past self, who hadn't even reached the Dao Comprehension stage. She then turned her gaze to the spatial rift and, following Xie Yingying's instructions, plunged straight in. In an instant, she vanished from the Heavenly Continent once more.

ROAR!!!

The moment Su Min entered, the entire area erupted with a deafening roar. Since she hadn't concealed her aura, her arrival immediately drew attacks. Three Dao Comprehension-stage monstrous worms wriggled their massive bodies from all directions, lunging at Su Min with gaping maws.

But in the next moment, all three worms burst apart.

"These things are still driven by nothing but hunger."

Su Min rubbed her temples. These creatures had no true consciousness—or at least, very little. They operated purely on instinct. Back then, Su Min had moved with extreme caution. If she and Tian Hao had been surrounded by too many of these things, they would have been in grave danger. As if responding to her thoughts, over a dozen more worms erupted from the ground.

"Since I'm here, I might as wipe them all out. I'll purify this area before moving to the next. What a headache."

Looking at the swarm of Dao Comprehension-stage worms, Su Min couldn't be bothered to hunt them down one by one. Almost instantly, her flawless Unity stage aura erupted, shaking the entire Ancient Battlefield.

"What's happening? Ugh—"

Every cultivator searching for opportunities within the battlefield immediately sensed the disturbance. They exchanged bewildered glances, completely unaware of what was occurring. But in the next moment, their expressions twisted in horror.

Due to the restrictions, only Divine Transformation cultivators could enter—they came seeking opportunities to advance to the Dao Comprehension stage. Faced with a Unity stage pressure, even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, they paled.

The only saving grace was that Su Min wasn't emitting killing intent. She had only released her aura to draw out the corrupted beings, not to harm them. Otherwise, they wouldn't just be uncomfortable—they'd be vomiting blood.

"Dao Comprehension stage? No—this is a Unity stage supreme! Why would such an existence descend here? Damn it, be careful!!!"

After the initial shock, the group quickly realized the situation. But then, something even more terrifying happened—the entire Ancient Battlefield began to stir.

The monstrous worms buried underground surged toward the source of the aura in a frenzy. This alone was terrifying enough. Back when Su Min had entered, she had moved cautiously, and these cultivators were no different.

Although these worms were relatively weak for Dao Comprehension-stage beings, facing them was still perilous. But what was even more horrifying was that many skeletal remains began to tremble...
