This is a hidden grove of trees in the First Heaven Battlefield.
Its terrain is extremely unique, nestled between mountains, and anyone would easily overlook this place if they weren't paying attention.
However, if you have a complete map of the Nine Heavens Battlefield, you will find that this is actually a hidden secret realm called "Red Leaf Forest".
At this moment, standing beside a spring in the middle of the woods, stood a handsome young man dressed in fine clothes.
The sickly pallor that used to grace his face had vanished, replaced by sharp, bright eyes and an undeniably powerful aura.
This red maple forest was clearly a dead end that even a normal god-level expert would avoid, but he stood here calmly, as if he were the master of this small world.
Upon closer inspection, the young man who was playing with a strange scale in his hand still had a lingering melancholy between his brows, as if something was troubling him.
Before long, footsteps came from outside the woods, but the young man did not turn around. Soon, the footsteps became more frequent, and more than a dozen figures appeared from different directions and then converged behind the young man.
Only then did the young man turn around, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Jiang Ming, Xia Hongyu, Ying Li... you're all quite late."
The young man called out the names of these people whose faces were covered in dust and grime.
“Ji Wen, the map we have is not as complete as yours, so it’s normal that we are a little late.”
The young man named Ying Li said with a half-smile, "If you were willing to share with us, you wouldn't do it this way."
Ji Wen smiled faintly and did not reply.
Jiang Ming is the current leader of the Yan Clan, while Xia Hongyu and Ying Li are the next leaders of the Great Xia Clan and the Qing Clan, respectively. Apart from the You Clan, the top geniuses who have entered the battlefield of ten thousand races have gathered here.
Although cooperation is essential given the current situation of the human race, Ji Wen's complete map would solidify his leadership position within it, so he naturally wouldn't share it easily.
"This red maple forest doesn't look particularly special!"
A woman from the Xia tribe looked around curiously.
"There was a lurking drought dragon, but I have already killed it with a casual gesture."
Ji Wenyun said it lightly.
Everyone's expression turned serious as they noticed the golden bloodstains still clinging to the scales on Ji Wen's palm.
The Drought Dragon possesses the bloodline of the Flood Dragon. Although it is not as powerful as the Flood Dragon, an adult Drought Dragon can at least rival a mid-level Divine Realm expert. Moreover, it has thick skin and flesh and extremely tenacious vitality.
In other words, defeating him might not be difficult, but to kill him would require strength far exceeding that of a mid-stage Divine Realm cultivator.
Although Ji Wen had already revealed his strength, it seemed that only now did everyone finally get used to it, and their expressions unconsciously became much more solemn.
Having achieved the desired effect, Ji Wen put away the scales in his hand, looked around at everyone, and the anxiety hidden between his brows became obvious again.
"Everyone must have come here from different routes. Based on what you've seen and heard along the way, what's the situation like?"
Upon hearing Ji Wen's question, the group exchanged glances and then shared what they had learned.
"As expected, although tens of thousands of geniuses from our human race have entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, their individual strength is ultimately too weak, and the landing point in this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races is random..."
Jiang Ming sighed and said, "I'm afraid that less than half of our human race will be able to pass through the first level of the battlefield."
"This is even under the circumstances that our human race is acting in a relatively low-key manner."
Ying Li of the Qing Clan also frowned, "Moreover, we are all quite restrained, so we haven't been targeted by other ethnic groups."
"Has any of you had contact with any geniuses of the Giant Spirit Clan?"
Ji Wen asked a rather crucial question.
"Is that even a question?"
When this matter was brought up, Xia Hongyu's face immediately showed anger.
"Because of that sinking, the Giant Spirit Clan has been extremely hostile to our human race on the battlefield of ten thousand races. Whenever they meet, it is always a fight to the death. I know of at least several hundred human geniuses who have died at the hands of the Giant Spirit Clan's geniuses."
"If Xiao Ke hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I would have already killed that giant genius!"
Everyone frowned upon hearing this.
Ji Wen remained silent for a while, then finally exhaled a breath of turbid air. "The established strategy cannot be changed. It's good that Brother Hongyu didn't act impulsively. Everyone, please don't forget our main objective in entering this battlefield."
"In a sense, whether our human race can rise from the ashes depends entirely on this!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned somewhat somber.
In fact, it wasn't just Wu Ling who knew; all the core geniuses present were also part of the human race and had naturally heard the rumor about "humans being banished to the Yuan land."
And they knew in their hearts that it was probably more than just a rumor.
The biggest problem facing humanity today is how to develop an enlightenment cultivation method suitable for humanity, so that cultivation is no longer exclusive to a small group of exceptionally talented individuals.
For this goal, they gathered here, even giving up the ranking competition in the battlefield of ten thousand races and the treasures of most of the secret realms.
The core cultivation techniques of each race originate from their own primordial deity, but the human race is disadvantaged because it has no primordial deity of its own.
Even Nuwa, the ancient supreme goddess who is said to have created the human race, was not actually human.
What the human race urgently needs now is a core cultivation technique that can be widely disseminated among a larger group.
With the wisdom of the human race, as long as there are enough genius corpses of other races to learn from and find out their secrets to the operation of elemental energy, the emergence of the "Enlightenment Method" will no longer be a pipe dream.
