Chapter 219: Danger And Opportunity Go Hand In Hand.
Since Bai Yiyuan had something to say, Lin Moyu listened attentively.
"It is called the Immemorial Battlefield, and it is a very dangerous place."
"However, danger and opportunity go hand in hand."
"No one knows the exact origin of the Immemorial Battlefield. At least, I don't know, and neither does Old Meng."
Meng Anwen shot him a glance, wondering why he was being dragged into this.
Bai Yiyuan ignored the other party and went on to say, "The Immemorial Battlefield is divided into three parts."
At this point, a ball of light appeared in Bai Yiyuan's palm, and the light gradually morphed into a three-dimensional map.
The map depicted two floating continents, with a giant black hole in the middle, resembling a vortex at the entrance of a dungeon.
"This is the map of the Immemorial Battlefield. It can be divided into three layers."
"The upper layer, the lower layer, and the deep layer.""Each layer is interconnected yet independent. They depend on each other but do not interfere with each other."
"In short, it's a very peculiar relationship."
"I want to take you to the upper layer."
"People above level 70 can't enter the upper layer. They usually stay in the lower layer."
"Conversely, people below level 70 can't enter the lower layer."
"However, between the upper and lower layers, there's a very small chance that a spatial passage might appear. When that happens, the rules are broken, and occasionally someone from the lower layer can come up to the upper layer."
"But they can only stay in the upper layer for a very short time, no more than an hour."
...
Bai Yiyuan explained in great detail, which was out of character for his usually carefree personality.
Lin Moyu listened carefully, not missing a single detail.
Meng Anwen's frown deepened, and he finally couldn't help but interject, "You might as well be starting from the beginning of time. You've been talking for so long, yet you haven't gotten to the main point yet."
"Why are you rambling so much today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Bai Yiyuan realized he had indeed been too long-winded. This really wasn't like him.
To be fair, he didn't know how to teach students. In the past, he had always been blunt, just giving a rough outline.
Now that he was trying to be detailed, he found himself at a loss.
"How about you take over?" Bai Yiyuan asked Meng Anwen for help.
Meng Anwen sighed, "Legend has it that in ancient times, humans, Abyssal Demons, and Dragonkind fought a great war. The Immemorial Battlefield was formed during that time."
"That great war was of unprecedented intensity, shattering the fabric of space and severing the threads of time.”
"Within the Immemorial Battlefield, there lay miraculous objects, powerhouses, and souls from that era. Their wills endured through the ages, gradually giving rise to various monsters, danger zones, secret realms, and dungeons."
"Where there is danger, there is also opportunity. If your luck is good, you can obtain miraculous objects and have various special opportunities that stem from ancient times."
"Apart from us human class users, there are also Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind active in the Immemorial Battlefield."
"Therefore, the danger not only stems from ancient times, but also from other races."
"Now, do you understand?"
Bai Yiyuan added, "You must be wary not only of other races, but also of fellow humans. Race doesn't matter in the face of interests."
Bai Yiyuan told a verbose tale, while Meng Anwen added the finishing touches. If Lin Moyu still didn't understand, he would either be an idiot or a fool.
In summary, the upper layer of the Immemorial Battlefield belonged to those below level 70. Occasionally, when a spatial channel was opened, those above level 70 might enter the upper layer for a short time.
In the Immemorial Battlefield, you must be mindful of remnants of ancient times and other races. When encountered on the battlefield, they were mortal enemies, with no room for reasoning.
On the battlefield, various unexpected events could happen, including dungeons materializing out of the blue and drawing people inside.
Such dungeons had no level restriction, and so a level 40 character might be drawn into a level 60 dungeon, at hell rank difficulty to boot, leading to a gruesome death.
Therefore, carrying Dungeon Escape Talismans on your person was a must.
On the flip side, the battlefield was replete with opportunities. Not only ancient miraculous objects, but also unexpected items could be found there.
Rumor had it that there were skills unattainable by human class users that came from there.
Some people even directly awakened their talent on the battlefield, and it wasn't during a class awakening.
In the Immemorial Battlefield, anything was possible.
"I understand!" Lin Moyu said softly, feeling intrigued by this place.
Bai Yiyuan cleared his throat, "Now, let me tell you the most important thing."
"Why I want you to go to the Immemorial Battlefield. In the central region of the upper layer, there's a secret realm, called the Divine Selection Secret Realm."
"By clearing this secret realm, you can obtain a trace of divinity."
"Divinity plays a crucial role, and one of its functions is to increase the likelihood of class sublimation during class awakening."
"With the Blackened Soul Crystal that you have, coupled with my arrangements, the probability of you achieving class sublimation will be raised to at most 70% to 80%. Although it's not low, but it's still not a sure thing."
"If you can obtain divinity, it will grow stronger as your level rises, increasing the probability to at least 99%."
"Additionally, there is a dungeon in the upper layer called the Demonic Dragon Hall, which appears at random. Whether you can encounter it or not will depend on your luck."
"If you find it, choose hell rank difficulty and clear it. You will be able to get a Dragon Crystal."
"With the Dragon Crystal, you will have a chance to awaken a talent, and it doesn't have to be during the second class awakening.
"You can try using the Dragon Crystal. If it doesn't work, you can use the Mermaid's Tears to help you awaken a talent during the second class awakening."
Lin Moyu asked, "Teacher, what is the level of the Demonic Dragon Hall dungeon?"
Bai Yiyuan replied, "Sometimes it's level 35, other times its level 50. It is said that people have even seen a level 65 Demonic Dragon Hall dungeon. It's hard to say."
"When I entered the dungeon, it was level 40, and I was level 45. Although it was hard, I still managed to clear it." Bai Yiyuan spoke with some pride.
To be able to solo a level 40 hell rank dungeon at level 45, it was indeed something to be proud of. After all, class users generally couldn't solo hell rank dungeons.
Meng Anwen remarked flatly, "Thinking about Young Lin's dungeon records, aren't you embarrassed?"
Bai Yiyuan had an annoyed look on his face, "Can you stop always pulling the rug from under my feet?"
Meng Anwen chuckled, "The truth hurts."
Bai Yiyuan shouted, "Old Meng, I won't let this slide."
"What? Are you going to fight me?" Meng Anwen didn't back down.
This bickering between these two old friends seemed to be an established practice, and Lin Moyu found it endearing.
After a while, Bai Yiyuan asked, "So, will you go to the Immemorial Battlefield?"
Lin Moyu didn't hesitate, "I will."
Not going to such a place would be absurd. The divinity, in particular, Lin Moyu had to secure it.
Bai Yiyuan placed great importance on class sublimation. Mo Yun even restrained her level for a year, all to look for Blackened Soul Crystal. This shows just how important class sublimation was to class users.
Lin Moyu wondered how much stronger his class would get if it were to undergo sublimation.
And then there was the Dragon Crystal, with which he would have a chance to directly awaken a talent.
Bai Yiyuan previously mentioned that if it were his first time awakening a talent, using Mermaid's Tears and various other arrangements, Lin Moyu would have a 90% chance of awakening a talent.
But if it were the second time, the probability would drop significantly, probably not even reaching 30%.
Lin Moyu wondered whether the talent given by the system counted as him awakening a talent for the first time.
But with Dragon Crystal, regardless of whether it counted or not, he would still have a chance of awakening another talent. If he got the opportunity, he had to obtain it.
"Teacher, did you awaken a talent by relying on Dragon Crystal back in the day?" Lin Moyu asked.
Bai Yiyuan laughed out loud, "Yes, I used Dragon Crystal to awaken my second talent. And it's a very powerful talent!"
Bai Yiyuan plastered a smug expression on his face, looking like he wanted Lin Moyu to ask for more details, but Lin Moyu didn't.
Among class users, there were certain guidelines you had to observe. It was best not to probe too deeply into certain matters.
This got Bai Yiyuan feeling frustrated.
He quietly took out a bunch of shiny golden talismans, of different kinds, each fully functional. Judging by the shimmering gloss, not a single one was of the elementary grade.
"Here you go." Bai Yiyuan handed the talismans to Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu accepted them and then checked them.
"Advanced Dungeon Escape Talisman."
"Advanced Cooldown Talisman."
"Advanced Random Teleportation Talisman."
"Advanced Puppet Talisman."
...
"Teacher, this is..." Lin Moyu was puzzled, wondering why the other party would give these to him.
Bai Yiyuan explained, "The Advanced Cooldown Talisman is not a gift, but a loan. Return it to me when you come back. This thing isn't easy to produce. In the future, you'll have to take care of it yourself."
"The other items are for keeping you safe. Advanced Puppet Talisman can protect you from fatal damage once. But, you'll only have three such talismans, so use them sparingly."
"As for the other two, they are for escaping."
"Keep them in your pockets. Otherwise, if you enter a dungeon, and the storage space is inaccessible, you'll be in trouble."
Bai Yiyuan appeared to be quite uneasy, repeatedly advising Lin Moyu to stay safe.
It was clear that sending Lin Moyu there so early made him a bit anxious.
But the earlier you obtained divinity, the better. He trusted in Lin Moyu's strength and thus decided to send him to the Immemorial Battlefield at level 30.
The Shenxia Tower's phantom appeared in Meng Anwen's palm, and it swiftly flew into the air and then expanded.
"Get ready to go!" Meng Anwen barked lightly.
A ray of light fell on Lin Moyu, and Lin Moyu disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After sending Lin Moyu off, Bai Yiyuan said in a deep voice, "Send me to the First Fortress."
Meng Anwen understood Bai Yiyuan's intentions.
In the First Fortress's Hall of Heroes, Lin Moyu left his brand there, allowing for his condition to be monitored to a certain degree.
Understanding Bai Yiyuan's thoughts, Meng Anwen sent him to the First Fortress without further comment.
The God Bai Courtyard became quiet once again.
The Shenxia Tower's phantom disappeared, and Meng Anwen closed his eyes once more.
At this moment, the wind stopped, and the sounds ceased. Everything fell into quiet stillness.
