"The source of the battlefield?"

Jiang Yuan paused for half a second, then opened his personal space, and a spirit slowly floated out.

"Phew, the battlefield of new life, it really brings back nostalgic memories!"

The first thing the spirit of the temple did upon appearing was to take deep breaths of air. Being able to appear on the final battlefield felt like a rebirth.

"What was that source of the battlefield you were talking about?" Jiang Yuan asked, his gaze falling on the bronze door. His intuition told him that this place was definitely not ordinary.

The spirit of the palace then came to his senses. He first observed the surrounding environment, and when he saw the bronze door, the expression on his face changed rapidly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Yuan noticed the unusual behavior of the spirit, and this change proved that the spirit knew about the bronze gate.

"Don't speak yet!" The spirit of the temple was on high alert. He floated toward the bronze door, and finally held his breath, covering the bronze door with his hands to listen quietly.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "Could it be that another strange and unusual secret realm has appeared?"

"Jiang Yuan, what stage has the battlefield recovery reached?" The spirit of the palace remained listening, but began to ask Jiang Yuan questions.

"I don't know that!" Jiang Yuan shook his head awkwardly. He only knew that the battlefield was constantly recovering, but he had no idea what stage it had reached.

"No, all of you must leave South City!" The spirit of the palace said solemnly, then shook his head, denying his previous statement. He added, "No, we can't all leave, otherwise the source of the battlefield won't be activated, and this battlefield will soon collapse!"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Jiang Yuan was completely confused and couldn't understand what Dian Ling was trying to express at all.

"Yes, you should take your wife and friends and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible!" Dian Ling stood up and said to Jiang Yuan in a very serious tone.

"Why should we leave? And what does 'a place of trouble' mean?" Jiang Yuan was completely bewildered, like a monk who had no idea what was going on.

The spirit of the palace fell into deep thought, sometimes sighing and sometimes frowning. After a while, he said, "Wait a minute, the source of the battlefield always brings several dead sources with it. I need to confirm that first!"

Seeing that Dian Ling had fallen into a trance, Jiang Yuan could only stand aside and watch his performance.

Before long, the spirit of the temple began to use its power. A force was seen seeping into the bronze door, and when the bronze door emitted an ancient aura, the spirit of the temple began to increase the force of penetration.

"Jiang Yuan?"

Suddenly, a figure burst into the underground palace.

"Yanlan, it's you! Weren't you chatting with your sister-in-law and Xiaoxin?" Jiang Yuan smiled gently when he saw the person who came.

"Oh, Xiao Xin is going to sleep, so I didn't disturb them any further!" Ning Yanlan's gaze shifted, and when the bronze door came into view, her heart was suddenly pierced with pain, but she still calmed herself down and asked, "Where is this place? What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, Ning Yanlan approached the bronze door, but the spirit of the palace was so focused on investigating the information about the bronze door that it did not notice Ning Yanlan's approach.

"Oh, the two little ones found this place. I thought it was quite quiet here, so I moved the forging platform here!" Jiang Yuan said truthfully.

"This bronze door is quite interesting!"

Ning Yanlan finally stopped in front of the bronze gate. As she spoke, she inadvertently touched the bronze gate. An imperceptible energy flowed into the bronze gate from Ning Yanlan's palm. This process only lasted half a second. Afterward, as if her curiosity had been satisfied, she retreated to Jiang Yuan's side.

"I heard from the spirit of the palace that this is the source of the battlefield. Do you know what the source of the battlefield is?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"The source of the battlefield?" Ning Yanlan shook her head gently. "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised; this answer was expected.

"It seems we can only wait for the Temple Spirit to give us an explanation!"

Finally, after more than ten minutes, the spirit of the palace withdrew from the investigation state, but he was full of doubts.

"How strange. I clearly detected the source of the active battlefield just now, so how could it be the source of death? Could it be that I was mistaken!" the spirit muttered to himself.

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Yuan was getting impatient; he wanted a definite answer from the temple spirit.

"It's alright, it's just a dead source. I thought it was the real source of the battlefield!" The spirit put his confusion aside. As long as it was confirmed to be a dead source, there was no problem.

"Tell me the specifics! This is so mysterious, it's completely baffling me!" Jiang Yuan wasn't satisfied with this answer.

The spirit of the palace didn't intend to hide anything, but simply said, "You know there used to be a saying about the dragon vein that protects the country, right?"

"Um!"

"Let me put it this way: the source of the battlefield is like the head of the dragon vein protecting the battlefield, bearing the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the entire battlefield," the spirit of the palace explained.

"But why did you make me take people away from Nancheng?" Jiang Yuan still remembered Dian Ling's nervous look just now, and it didn't seem fake.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a dead source, there's no need to make a big fuss. It's actually safer here!" Dian Ling waved his hand, indicating to Jiang Yuan not to worry about it.

"Is it possible to get behind the bronze door?"

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He remembered how he had used the internal energy of the bronze gate to strengthen his Nine Heavens Shackles. If he could enter, he would be able to greatly enhance his existing ancient martial arts power. Once his ancient martial arts power reached a certain level, his Five Elements Demigod Body would be able to absorb the Mountain Lord's sub-god level power, thus breaking his predicament.

"Sure, for the Dead Source, you only need to absorb a portion of its source energy, and once you meet the requirements, you can enter!" The spirit of the palace nodded.

"Oh, right, I received a token before that said it could..."
