Chapter 2498: Ling Dong’an

"That is correct." Xiao Fan nodded. He was indeed curious about this.

"Hehehe… things are not that simple." Yang Yun gave a bitter smile.

To the side, Zhang Binhong sneered, his face filled with disdain.

Xiao Fan could see that there must be other secrets hidden within… For a powerhouse, being able to leave this small Universe and head toward a higher realm should definitely be a good thing!

Yet they were all so resistant; this was definitely not normal!

"Little friend, do not overthink it. It is fine to tell you… That is because after heading to a higher realm, all powerhouses who have reached the Tatian Realm will first be sent to the Heavens Battlefield!" Yang Yun explained.

"The Heavens Battlefield?!" Xiao Fan paused in surprise. "What kind of place is that?"

"A chaotic battlefield… countless realms participate. Opportunity and danger coexist. In the Heavens Battlefield, various powerful clans stand tall, and Geniuses and Prodigies run rampant… For the Geniuses and Prodigies of great realms, the Heavens Battlefield is an excellent place for training, but for the likes of us, dying nine times out of ten is an understatement…" Yang Yun sighed.

From Yang Yun's words, Xiao Fan could hear the terror of the Heavens Battlefield.

"There, those in the Tatian Realm are as numerous as ox hair. The point is that there are terrifying Prodigies present… Those Prodigies are as horrifying as you, possessing the terrifying power to challenge those at higher levels."

"For us powerhouses in the Tatian Realm from lower-tier realms, in battles of the same level, we are far from being opponents… Do you understand this?" Yang Yun's expression was grave as he looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan nodded. The Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, and so on in this world of the Hongtian Star Domain were the worst; Xiao Fan naturally understood this.

"Therefore, we chose to escape. Everyone has different methods…" Yang Yun said with a bitter smile.

"Escape…" Xiao Fan was taken aback and looked at Zhang Binhong. "Old dog, you left behind a Tatian Realm Legacy to fool future generations just to avoid going to the Heavens Battlefield?"

"…Mind your own business!" Zhang Binhong gritted his teeth.

Since Xiao Fan called him an old dog, how could he possibly tell the other party about such a thing?

"As expected, old dog, you are truly sinister." Xiao Fan said with disdain.

"Little beast, do you believe I will kill you!" Zhang Binhong shouted angrily.

"Hehehe… if you dare to make a move, you will be the one to die. If you don't believe me, try it." Xiao Fan sneered.

If Zhang Binhong really wanted to seek death, then he should just make a move. The star chart had been waiting for him all along!

"You…!" Zhang Binhong was furious.

"Alright, Zhang Binhong, stop arguing…" Yang Yun sighed. He looked at Xiao Fan and continued, "Having said all this, I think you have understood the gist of it…"

Xiao Fan nodded. He did indeed understand a lot.

The Heavens Battlefield—it was because they feared this battlefield that the powerhouses of the Tatian Realm did not show their faces, each choosing to hide.

Of course, the methods used were varied.

However, there was still one question!

"Senior, who was it… who first discovered this secret?" Xiao Fan asked.

Normally, powerhouses who advanced to the Tatian Realm in the Hongtian Star Domain all headed to the Heavens Battlefield. Since it was so dangerous there, how did they know?

"It was… the founders of Ziyun Temple and Ziwei Pavilion." Yang Yun sighed.

"Huian, Ling Xiao?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"That is correct, it was them, or one could say it was their past lives." Yang Yun nodded. "Entering the Heavens Battlefield is fraught with crises. For ordinary Tatian Realm cultivators to enter… even self-preservation is difficult. But this person was different; he forcibly carved out a reputation in the Heavens Battlefield, and his strength improved terrifyingly!"

"Afterwards, he gained the power to leave the Heavens Battlefield…"

"Many years after he left the Heavens Battlefield, he could not bear to watch the living beings of the Hongtian Star Domain continue to be deceived, one after another heading to the Heavens Battlefield to die in vain. Thus, he forcibly opened a passage to the Hongtian Star Domain… and left behind the truth of this matter."

"Furthermore, that Senior wanted to seek a stronger Dao… Thus, he sent himself into Reincarnation, splitting into two bodies: one practicing Buddhism, and one practicing the Dao…"

"And that is how it has been since. Regarding the secrets of that time, there are very few people in the Hongtian Star Domain who know the truth…" Yang Yun explained slowly, telling Xiao Fan the biggest secret within the Hongtian Star Domain.

"So that is how it is." Xiao Fan nodded.

If what Yang Yun said was true, I am afraid the Ancestor of Ziyun Temple did not know these secrets either.

They were just following the last orders left by that Senior…

"What is that Senior's name?" Xiao Fan asked curiously. Although he knew that knowing this was of no use, he still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Ling Dong'an."
