After hearing this, Tang Feng's eyes lit up and he immediately clapped his hands and laughed. Li Yan's proposal was in line with his wishes, but he still had other suggestions.
After hearing this, Li Yan asked with some confusion.
"Oh? Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"
"I came here early in the morning and wanted to ask if you would like to go to the 'Fighting Spirit Field' with me?"
"'Fighting Spirit Field'? You mean the place where those evil spirit monks fight?"
After hearing this, Li Yan was stunned at first, but he reacted quickly.
He had been in Zhenhun Palace for quite some time and was familiar with some important places within the sect.
With the continuous expansion of the power of the Zhenhun Palace, it has already dominated the "Earth Realm".
Later, foreign cultivators who were absorbed into the "Earth True Realm" were still used as reproduction tools or cauldrons, except for some beautiful female cultivators.
Those male cultivators would basically be killed, and the mineral veins here would no longer be mined on a large scale in the later stages. Therefore, the cultivators of the Soul-Calming Palace only needed to go there regularly and mine some.
Those superfluous evil spirit monks from outside seemed to have no need to exist.
However, for various reasons, some foreign monks were not killed on the spot, but were captured alive.
Generally, they will be killed only after being asked about the external situation and the last bit of available value has been squeezed out.
But after all this, these soul cultivators still felt that it was too much of a pity to execute those cultivators like this.
Therefore, they came up with more ways to execute these monks, which would make them feel happier.
For example, watching them being torn apart by wild beasts bit by bit, or subjecting them to cruel methods such as pulling out their tendons, skinning them, lighting soul lamps, etc.
Some of the soul cultivators thought of a way to make their life more fun, which was to plant soul seals in the bodies of the evil spirit cultivators in their hands, turning them into soul slaves.
Then, he would let these soul slaves fight life and death with other soul slaves according to his own orders.
The broken limbs of the monks were flying everywhere and the wails were deafening. Seeing these evil spirit monks die miserably like this made the soul cultivators feel even more excited.
At the beginning, this was just a primitive fight, but later on, it gradually turned into a fight between multiple soul cultivators, each taking out their own soul slaves.
They would add stakes to these fights and let the soul slaves fight for them in the end for the benefits.
Since there are so many benefits to this kind of thing, the stakes between soul cultivators are often very tempting to each other, so a "fighting spirit field" is gradually formed.
As time goes by and the "Fighting Spirit Field" expands, the various rules and gambling methods therein have become more and more perfect.
Nowadays, there is not only a special fighting arena in the Zhenhun Palace, but the situation of those soul slaves is also very different from before.
As long as they have strength, they can live forever. Moreover, those powerful soul slaves have their own training rooms, training resources, etc.
These soul slaves can even have their own subordinates and their own women. These subordinates can be other foreign evil spirits or mortals in the "Earth True Realm" who have lost the protection of their ancestors.
These powerful fighting spirit soul slaves, apart from being restricted to moving within designated areas, even lead a more comfortable life than many soul cultivators.
The soul slaves who participate in the "Fighting Spirit Field" competition have a fighting ranking. The higher the ranking, the richer the conditions they enjoy.
As a result, those foreign monks who did not want to die practiced even harder in the hope of killing their opponents in the constant fighting with others.
On the one hand, you try hard to keep yourself alive, and on the other hand, you enjoy the life of pleasure.
Therefore, among the foreign evil spirit monks who participate in the "Fighting Spirit Field", some of those with strong combat power have lived here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Li Yan also knew about this, but he had no interest in it. He wanted to find out more information or practice when he had time.
"Oh? Are you going to the 'Fighting Spirit Arena'? This..."
After hearing Tang Feng's proposal, Li Yan showed some hesitation on his face.
"Friend Li, this is a Douling Spirit that only opens once every ten years. Through these people's fighting, we can still gain some experience from it, which will be of great benefit to our cultivation.
Once you encounter an evil spirit monk outside, you will also know their usual methods. For monks like us who were born in the 'Earth True Realm', even if we have fought with some evil spirit monks.
But after all, we don’t know too much about the methods of the outside world monks, so this can give us more opportunities to save our lives.”
Tang Feng looked at Li Yan's hesitant expression and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
You should know that among the forces outside the Zhenhun Palace, although there are similar "Fighting Spirit Fields", there are not many foreign evil spirit cultivators in them.
Often the fighting methods there have long been known to others.
Unlike their place, which is only open to disciples within the Zhenhun Palace, there are many evil spirit monks with extremely strong combat power.
Moreover, they will continue to send people out to look for evil spirit monks, while looking for foreign monks who may be taken in here at any time, and also arrest the many evil spirit monks who have escaped from the "Earth True Realm".
All these keep the fighting in the "Fighting Spirit Field" at a very high level.
Some soul cultivators in the Soul-Suppressing Palace would even purchase soul slaves from other outside forces to increase the intensity of the soul battle.
When Li Yan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, I have seen this when I was outside, but after I came to the sect, I spent most of my time practicing, and I was still unsure about the hundred-year mission. I didn't know the difficulty and the approximate time it would take, so I was eager to complete the mission. What Brother Tang said is right, how can I miss such a good thing!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
When he saw Tang Feng's expression just now, he felt a chill in his heart and immediately realized that his previous reaction might be wrong.
The reasons Tang Feng gave were all to the point. The soul cultivators here hated foreign cultivators the most. Of course, they needed to understand their methods better.
The fighting in the "Fighting Spirit Field" may not matter to the old disciples of the Zhenhun Palace. After all, they have seen it many times and have figured out the methods of many evil spirit cultivators here.
But how could someone like me, who has only been in the sect for a short time, not be interested
You have to know that I am a "native cultivator of the Dizhen Realm" and I have been instilled with hatred for evil spirit cultivators since I was a child. It is a bit strange that I am unwilling to even take a look at such a good opportunity.
"Oh... A hundred-year mission. If there is a multiplayer mission, I will do it with Fellow Daoist Li. The mission is not too difficult.
For example, there are many people tasked with capturing those escaped 'evil spirit monks', but it would be a good opportunity to go over and take a look at the 'fighting spirit field', which would be more beneficial, hahahaha..."
Tang Feng laughed heartily.
Li Yan in front of him was a casual cultivator in the past, and after being restricted by the sect's rules, he really found it difficult to adapt at first...
The "Fighting Spirit Field" is also located in a public area, but it is in a corner of this area, covering an area of 100 miles. Such a large venue is designed to facilitate fighting among monks.
In fact, a range of one hundred miles is too small for cultivators above the Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation levels.
But this is not a place for you to escape, but it is enough for a fight, and it will make the fight more intense.
The fighting spirits here will be held once every ten years. Each time there are three levels of fighting: Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation. Basically there will be ten to twenty fights.
The fighting here can be divided into life-and-death fights and win-or-lose fights.
There is no doubt that the life-and-death battle is between two soul slaves, and one of them will definitely die. Often, the one who signs this kind of contract is the soul slave himself.
In the course of fighting, they would develop deep hatred with other soul slaves. For example, if their relatives or fellow disciples were beaten to death by a soul slave, they would naturally think of revenge.
In this kind of fight, there is no such thing as ending the fight by simply admitting defeat, and no one can stop the game until one party is killed.
A fight of win or lose ends as long as one side admits defeat.
This is not because the soul cultivators are soft-hearted towards the soul slaves, but because the number of evil spirit cultivators who can survive in the "Earth True Realm" is not too many in the end.
If every match is a fight to the death, these soul slaves might be mostly dead after one or two matches. Will they want to have a fight to the death next time
Now when soul cultivators watch "Fighting Spirits", the focus is no longer on the soul slaves killing each other and letting them get pleasure from it.
What is important to them is gambling and fighting, and winning what they want from other soul cultivators.
However, there will often be casualties in the fights, and the soul slaves will sometimes be unable to stop themselves.
As to whether it is true or false, it depends on whether the other party can still shout and beg for mercy!
… …
When Li Yan and Tang Feng arrived at the Douling Field, they saw lights of various colors in the sky, constantly flying towards here.
At the entrances below, many soul cultivators had already paid soul crystal buds and spirit stones and entered through different entrances.
Anyone who wants to watch the fighting spirits, except for the soul cultivators who have sent their soul slaves to participate in the gambling fight, all others must pay soul crystal buds or spirit stones before they can enter.
The two of them landed in front of an entrance. Just when Li Yan took out the Soul Crystal Bud, Tang Feng gave it to him first.
"Okay, it's not much, why bother paying separately!"
Li Yan saw Tang Feng take out ten three hundred year old soul crystal buds, and handed them to the other party, and then he directly invited Li Yan in.
Li Yan now knows the use of soul crystal buds. The three hundred year old ones are similar to medium-grade spirit stones and are generally used by cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.
Soul crystal buds that are one or two hundred years old are used by cultivators who have reached the Golden Core stage.
It is basically equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone, but the grades are divided into high and low grades. The two-hundred-year-old soul crystal buds are used more by Jindan cultivators, while the one-hundred-year-old soul crystal buds are mostly used by Qi Condensation cultivators.
Fifty two-hundred-year soul crystal buds can be exchanged for one three-hundred-year soul crystal bud, and one hundred soul crystal buds are needed to exchange for a hundred-year soul crystal bud.
Li Yan chuckled and followed in without any hesitation.
He now has a lot of soul crystal buds on him. After all, if he keeps trading spirit stones with others here, people will become suspicious after a long time.
Moreover, soul crystal buds that are more than a hundred years old can also be used directly to restore soul power.
The "Duel of Spirits Arena" is a huge oval square, surrounded by seats, all of which face the huge square below from a bird's-eye view.
Because the square below is restricted by formation restrictions, the height that the cultivators inside can fly will not exceed a hundred feet.
Looking from a high altitude, within a hundred miles, there is nothing obstructing, so even if the cultivator does not infuse magic power into his eyes, he can see quite clearly.
After Tang Feng brought Li Yan in, many cultivators had already gathered in this area. Tang Feng quickly selected two adjacent seats and sat down with Li Yan.
