Chapter 472 Heading to the Hundred Forest Domain
Soon, the two looked at each other again and shook their heads together.
That's one guess, but it's not actually certain.
It was only because the two of them happened to have obtained the qualification to enter the Heavenly Realm in the Land of All Beings that they subconsciously assumed that they were being sent to the Heavenly Realm after hearing the words "very likely to be sent to the Heavenly Realm".
In fact, with such a vast continent, who can say that there are no other treasures that can send people to the Heavenly Realm?
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan continued browsing the forum.

[Discussion] Let's summarize any news here for easy reference.
[Original Poster: What we currently know is that the three adjacent regions of Bailin Domain, Qianfang Domain, and Wanxue Domain are the central domains occupied by righteous cultivators like ourselves. In addition, hundreds of large and small evil sects have begun fighting each other. These evil sects are located within a loose evil sect alliance domain, namely the Evil Light Domain... Whether there is any information that has been missed is currently unknown, and whether more forces have now been involved is also currently unknown.]
Many cultivators from other factions have infiltrated to investigate. It is said that several small and medium-sized evil factions have been wiped out, and several central regions occupied by the righteous factions have also suffered heavy casualties. The forces within the three regions have requested assistance from many level-nine forces on the continent. After we assess the situation, we will issue a mission as soon as possible...
Please record any additional or updated information here.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had seen these words before; they were now mainly refreshing the post to see what happened next.
There were thousands of posts discussing this situation, and it wasn't until they kept scrolling through that they finally saw some updates.
[Martial Arts Nine Heavens: My sources bring news that seven Nirvana Realm cultivators have died on the evil path. Two mid-stage Nirvana Realm cultivators have died in the Hundred Forest Domain, one late-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator has died in the Thousand Directions Domain, and one mid-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator has died in the Myriad Snow Domain.]
Especially for Bailin Domain, a relatively weak central region, the loss of two Nirvana Realm cultivators has reduced its overall strength by at least 20%, significantly weakening its ability to defend against external threats. If it were to suffer another invasion by evil forces, the losses would likely be even greater.
[Martial Arts in the Azure Sky: My connections bring news that the evil path hasn't launched a large-scale invasion. Instead, they're largely confining their fighting to their own territory. Some righteous forces have spies planted among the evil path's forces. After receiving information from that side, they actively got involved, originally only planning to send more people to fish in troubled waters. However, the evil path easily discovered this, so they expanded the battlefield... This time, the righteous path crossed the line first, so we can't immediately send Tongtian from the righteous path to hold them accountable.]
[Martial Arts Canglan: Hmph! That's what they say, but who knows if the evil sects deliberately leaked some information to provoke the righteous sects?]
[Martial Arts Azure Sky: Probably not. It's said that the evil path's treasures are rare and valuable; releasing this information would only increase their competition, offering them no benefit.]
[Martial Arts Battle: Evil people have always done things that harm others without benefiting themselves. Perhaps some evil people happen to know about this, but cannot obtain it themselves. To prevent other evil people from getting it, they would rather let the righteous people join in the struggle?]
[Martial Arts Xuanwu: It's possible! Regardless of whether it's righteous or evil, there will always be those with short-sighted views who only focus on their immediate feelings and don't consider how many cultivators will perish if this matter escalates and triggers a war between good and evil!]
[Martial Universe: Not bad! There will always be such scoundrels!]
[Martial Arts in the Azure Sky: Perhaps that's possible. But the information I've received is that the Thousand Realms Domain has been confined to the Central Region for too long, and it has two peak Nirvana Realm experts, belonging to the two top forces in that domain. Both of them want to reach the Heavenly Realm first, thereby bringing several nearby domains under their control and becoming a hegemon there.]
To force their rivals to submit, they launched attacks upon learning the news, becoming one of the triggers for this chaos. Unfortunately, both the Hundred Forest Domain and the Ten Thousand Snow Domain, originally peaceful and untroubled, were drawn into the conflict because of their proximity to the Thousand Directions Domain and the subsequent spread of the battlefield there. The Ten Thousand Snow Domain, being stronger, suffered relatively minor losses, but the Hundred Forest Domain became the unfortunate victim of the chaos.
[Wu Dou Lingxiao: No matter what happened, if this mission comes our way, I'd like to get involved. Fortune favors the bold! If all else fails, hunting down a few more evil cultivators can also yield some resources.]
[Martial Universe: Wait! The mission has been released!]
[Martial Arts Xuanhuang: I saw it too! It's a large-scale mission!]
At this point, there isn't much content appearing when the post is refreshed.
They've probably all gone to the quests section.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were no exception. After seeing the many messages here, they were moved and quickly entered the section where they could accept the task.
Their eyes quickly searched among them.
Sure enough, several tasks were found in one go.
[Long-term mission] Bailin Domain requests assistance!
[Long-term mission] Qianfang Domain requests assistance!
[Long-term mission] Wanxueyu requests assistance!
When the two clicked on the Hundred Forest Domain Rescue mission, they found it filled with countless small missions.
·
[Bai Lin Yu - Liu Guang Men] requests assistance in rescuing those besieged by evil forces. There is no limit to the number of participants; rewards are based on the number of participants.
The strength of the target is...
The reward for redemption is...
If the above rewards are not needed and can be exchanged for Mystic Stones, the amount is...
·
[Bai Lin Yu - Shui Xin Men] requests the rescue of 358 disciples who have been abducted by evil forces. There is no limit to the number of people who can be rescued. A reward will be given for each disciple rescued.
Then it describes the sect of the target, its strength and the approximate number of people, the names and appearances of the disciples, the rewards for saving people and the Xuan Stones, etc.
·
[Bai Lin Yu - Shang Lin Feng] Request to kill the evil alliance surrounding the mountain. There is no limit to the number of people who can participate in the mission. Rewards will be given based on the number of kills.
It still introduces the forces surrounding the mountain, their approximate numbers and strength, and details the rewards, etc.
·
And so it goes, row by row.
Each of them must kill many evil cultivators.
The sheer number of heretical cultivators recorded so casually is already alarming, demonstrating the dire situation in the Hundred Forest Domain.
Even more terrifying, as the Zhong and Wu couple reviewed these small tasks, several tasks turned black and disappeared right after they finished reviewing them!
If it turns red first and then disappears, it means that someone has already completed the task.
But if it turns black and then disappears... then it means that the righteous forces represented by this small task have completely disappeared—they have been wiped out.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan slowly exhaled and both shook their heads.
It was a terrible tragedy.
They really do need help.
However, the two still need to examine the situation carefully and obtain more information before deciding on their next course of action.
As they scrolled down through the densely packed tasks, the two finally saw a map at the very bottom.
It is a map of the entire Hundred Forest Domain.
The locations of all the sects that issued the missions are marked on the screen, and different colored blocks are used to indicate the degree of crisis of those forces.
After looking at it, the two shook their heads again.
After several factions turned evil, more than a dozen other factions were in grave danger.
If other regions don't send reinforcements, the Hundred Forest Region is truly doomed.
·
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan and asked, "Old Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "A-Cai wants to stretch her arms and legs?"
Zhong Cai chuckled and nodded, saying, "I'd like to go take a look."
Wu Shaogan then said, "Then let's just pick a few tasks and go there to solve them."
When Zhong Cai reviewed those missions, she had already memorized the general details.
He doesn't get involved in missions that are relatively less wicked; he mainly focuses on forces that can fight against the wicked and wait for them to join the battle.
For example, there are three level-eight forces and nine level-seven forces in the Hundred Forest Domain.
Zhong Cai took them one by one.
Wu Shaogan followed behind him and accepted them all.
Without further ado, the two stepped out of the room and whistled to summon Qingyu.
The enormous azure roc landed in front of the two, stirring up a gust of wind.
Zhong Cai's hair was blown about by the strong wind. She then grabbed Wu Shaogan's hand and jumped up with him.
Qingyu let out a few melodious chirps.
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and ordered, "Let's go, let's get out of the sect first."
After leaving the sect, Qingyu returned to the ancient city and spent time with Qinghui.
Zhong Wufu then took out a warship and flew straight to the Hundred Forest Domain.
Some warships like these have to find their own way, while others have special functions—as long as a map is imprinted onto its control panel, it can automatically find the best route to get there.
The couple's device is perfect for making map rubbings.
Therefore, they do not need to identify directions; as long as they transmit their thoughts, the warships can go directly there.
·
The Hundred Forest Domain is very far from the Western River Domain, and there are many other domains connected to it, some of which are not even on the same continent.
However, the warships the two took out were top-grade level eight ships, and their speed was only slightly slower than the fastest speed of Nirvana. If they used Xuan Stones without regard to consumption, they could use their maximum speed and fly extremely fast, greatly shortening the time to reach the Hundred Forest Domain.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stood on the deck, looking at the scene ahead.
The two spoke in hushed tones.
Zhong Cai said, "It's not just you and me, but many other flying artifacts have also gone to those three realms."
Wu Shaogan nodded: "We'll be a little slower, but I'm sure we can get there first."
Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan and sighed, "Hopefully, the situation over there can be contained. At least if the major regions closer to there send people over, they should be able to protect more righteous cultivators, right?"
Wu Shaogan said, "That depends on what those major domains think."
Zhong Cai paused, then said with a hint of conspiracy, "Old Wu, do you think it's possible that the nearby major domains are not intervening, waiting for those three domains to weaken some of the evil forces before taking advantage of the situation? Or perhaps, the nearby major domains also want to incorporate these three domains into their own fold, waiting for the three domains to collapse before taking action?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "Anything is possible."
Zhong Cai thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
Wu Shaogan added, "But these matters between domains have nothing to do with you and me. We just accepted the mission and went there to save more righteous cultivators and get more rewards."
Zhong Cai grinned and said, "Old Wu is right."
Yes, let's see what exactly happened over there.
Anyway, the two of them are just going over there to see what's going on.
And there was another reason... they wanted to know if their previous guesses were correct, and whether the evil path had also obtained some Heavenly Qualifications.
If they really exist, how many are there?
They probably got less than them.
But that doesn't matter. So many forces are involved, which just shows how important the treasure that leads directly to the heavens is.
If it truly possesses the qualifications to reach the heavens, let's see if we can snatch it from the heretical sects.
If it's any other treasure that leads directly to the Heavenly Realm, we should see if we can snatch it... Once we get it, we can use it together with the Heavenly Realm qualification, which will increase our chances a bit more!
Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Caihui shook hands with him.
The two of them still had some expectations.
Honestly, it's been quite a while since I've gone out for a "stroll".
·
Lingxian Sect.
Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan received the news earlier, so they quickly issued the mission.
After they finished their work, they also summoned many temple masters and lineage leaders to discuss the matter together.
Those present all knew of Tongtian's qualifications and had purchased a considerable amount of them.
After some discussion, everyone felt that it might be the rule stone, the rule bead, or something similar, or something else entirely.
After all, if disciples from both sides had such extraordinary encounters, it wouldn't be surprising if someone from the evil path were to have the same luck.
One of the temple masters exclaimed, "If Heaven bestows something upon us and we don't take it, we'll suffer the consequences! The fact that we've obtained this news means that the evil path's treasure is destined for us! We must get involved!"
Several other hall masters and lineage leaders also spoke up:
"I see that quite a few disciples from both of our families have already gone there, presumably all wanting to gain some experience. And Bailin Domain has always been on good terms with us, so how can we not send more people to help them now that they are innocent victims?"
"The disciples went there because they were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to stand up for what was right. Our two forces also need to send some strong people to support the disciples."
"Indeed, if the Hundred Forest Domain were destroyed by the evil forces, wouldn't that be a great loss of face for us righteous people?"
"The Hundred Forest Domain has always been on good terms with others, but now it has ended up being full of evil sects. It's truly a pity!"
"How about we send ten Nirvana Realm cultivators? The Hundred Forest Domain originally had ten Nirvana Realm cultivators, so we can help them one by one."
All those who mention Nirvana refer to the Hundred Forest Domain, not the other two.
The main issue is that, according to their current information, the number of Nirvana Realm cultivators lost in the Hundred Forest Domain has increased from two to three.
How long has it been?
That's terrible!
Moreover, Qianfang Domain is suspected of starting trouble first, while Wanxue Domain is currently relatively stable. It's best to talk about the most unfortunate one.
·
Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan listened without saying a word for a moment.
After everyone had finished speaking, Lou Chuan said, "Since everyone has a plan, which hall masters and lineage leaders are willing to represent my Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall?"
At that moment, dozens of people spoke up.
Except for a few lineage leaders who were not interested, all the palace masters and the three lineage leaders present wanted to go.
Of course, not everyone can go.
They were there to help Bailinyu, not to intimidate it.
Ten is enough.
Xiao Zinuo pondered for a moment and said, "This time the situation is urgent, so there's no need for us to discuss and decide together."
He took out a handful of slips of paper, his fingers flying like lightning, and quickly picked out ten to write a few words on. He then put them all into a slips container and placed it in front of the many cultivators.
"Let's draw lots. Whoever's name is drawn will be the winner."
Without any objection, the many temple masters and lineage leaders reached out and took out a divination stick from the tube.
This divination stick container is specially made; it can shield one's spiritual thoughts, preventing them from cheating.
Then it really comes down to luck.
Before long, everyone saw their signed slips.
The cultivators whose slips were blank were filled with regret, but the ten who got good slips all showed joyful expressions.
Lou Chuan looked over at each one.
The ten figures stood in neat rows, all of them being the lords of the Temple of War.
It seems that the sect leaders are still skilled in alchemy. This time, they don't need to go and refine pills to save lives, so the ones who are good at fighting will go instead.
The Temple Masters of the War God Temple smiled and immediately stood up.
Lou Chuan was also stationed in the sect to issue orders, so he did not go with the hall masters.
The palace lords each had their own warships, so after discussing among themselves, they chose the one that looked the most imposing and left excitedly.
The other hall masters and lineage leaders could only disperse.
After everyone left, Lou Chuan and Xiao Zinuo exchanged a glance and continued with their work.
·
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang were not present at the meeting.
Sang Yunchu has been focusing on the study of elixirs, devoting his entire being to alchemy. He only checks the Danwu Tianmu every so often, so it's normal that he misses some timely news.
However, since he was in the process of refining elixirs, he could not abandon the elixirs to attend the meeting.
Therefore, when the person who convened the meeting found that it was inconvenient for him, they did not notify him at all.
Jiang Chongguang, on the other hand, is in seclusion.
He often secluded himself to hone his skills.
Besides feeling that the conditions on the top continent were so good that he had to work incredibly hard, he also wanted to delay being overtaken by his disciples as long as possible because they were catching up with him so quickly.
He hopes his disciples will make rapid progress and would never want to hold them back, but he also wants them to catch up later, so he naturally has to do even harder.
In Jiang Chongguang's view, no matter what, he really wanted to support his disciple more often.
Although, in reality, his disciple rarely needed his support...
Once his disciple catches up, Jiang Chongguang will likely only be able to support his disciple's nephew in the future.
Because Jiang Chongguang was in seclusion, the people who came to summon him left without disturbing him.
The other lineage masters and palace masters who didn't come were unable to receive the news because they were engaged in cultivation.
When cultivators reach the seventh or eighth level, each period of secluded cultivation takes a considerable amount of time, making it easy to miss timely information.
Then we can only miss out.
Often, the reason why various factions want to cultivate more top-tier experts is that if there are more such experts, when enemies attack, those who are not in seclusion can be the first to act.
Conversely, if each family only has one strong individual, then no matter whether that individual is in seclusion or honing their skills, they will have to be summoned whenever an external enemy comes. In the long run, this will be very detrimental to their cultivation.

Temple of War.
Wu Dongxiao also saw the news after he finished sparring with Xuan Bing.
Xuan Bing was somewhat tempted.
Wu Dongxiao actually wanted to go too, but now he was itching to go, and he wasn't far from the palace.
Xuan Bing calmed himself down, looked at Wu Dongxiao, and said, "We'll go together after you break through."
Wu Dongxiao shook his head: "Senior brother, you go first. I will be in no danger while I am in seclusion in the sect. You don't need to worry about me."
Xuan Bing thought for a moment and decided to wait.
His junior brother is too prone to accidents. If he were to go out and train alone, letting his junior brother break through on his own without guarding him, he probably wouldn't feel at ease.
Wu Dongxiao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Xuan Bing smiled and patted Wu Dongxiao on the head.
Wu Dongxiao was only worried that he would miss this opportunity after he went into seclusion.
He actually suspected that what the heretical sect had created this time was a qualification that could reach the heavens...
Xuan Bing said no more, but nudged Wu Dongxiao, urging him to enter the cave and quickly break through.
Wu Dongxiao had no choice but to listen to his senior brother's advice.
So the cave was sealed off.
Xuan Bing sat cross-legged outside the cave.
·
Wu Dongxiao took a deep breath inside the cave, feeling an almost uncontrollable restlessness within him.
Surrounded by surging profound energy, Wu Dongxiao quickly took out an array plate, gathered energy, and then took out a large number of precious resources and profound stones to provide assistance, all of which were placed in front of him.
The next moment, Wu Dongxiao began to circulate his internal energy using his cultivation technique.
He's preparing to build a palace!
·
Perhaps because he was not in the middle of nowhere and there were no enemies knocking at the door, or perhaps because Xuan Bing guarded the outside, which made Wu Dongxiao feel at ease, his breakthrough this time went very smoothly.
It only took two days in total.
Wu Dongxiao could feel that after his breakthrough, his realm had been stabilized at an extremely fast speed. He even felt that as long as he made a move, he could adapt to the changes in strength after the realm improvement even faster!
In a great mood and not wanting his senior brother to worry about him, he quickly put away the array plates and went out.
Upon hearing the commotion behind him, Xuan Bing immediately stood up and looked back.
Upon seeing Xuan Bing, Wu Dongxiao's mood improved even more, and he couldn't help but rush over and hug Xuan Bing tightly.
Xuan Bing noticed that Wu Dongxiao's breathing was stable and was happy for him. He also raised his hand and, in the embrace, patted Wu Dongxiao hard on the back.
"Well done!"
Wu Dongxiao laughed and released his senior brother, then said cheerfully, "Let's go kill the evil cultivators!"
Xuan Bing nodded with a smile.
Without hesitation, the two summoned the Crimson Fire Phoenix, which carried them outside.
A little while later, they changed into their flying artifacts and headed straight for the Hundred Forest Domain.
Yes, they also chose Bailinyu.
However, their angle of entry into the Hundred Forest Domain was different from that of Zhong Wufu.
To put it more bluntly, after Zhong and Wu went there, they should have entered the domain from the east, while Wu Xuan and the other two went from the north.
Given that the Hundred Forest Domain is extremely large, it's unlikely we'll run into each other for the time being.
