Chapter 1868: Chapter 819: The Origin of Xi Skill, The Fall of the Mountain Master Chapter 1868: Chapter 819: The Origin of Xi Skill, The Fall of the Mountain Master “`

During the process of leaving the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill, there was nothing out of the ordinary. When the lights and shadows transformed, and the spatiotemporal shift had stabilized, Han Yi found himself in an empty space.

“`

“`

This place was not identifiable as the place where the First Mountain Master had opened the silver portal, since there were no reference coordinates outside the Chaos Realm.

“`

“`

However, Han Yi was able to determine through the induction of the Wan Ming Tome that he was near the Tiaoist Spirit Chaos World. In other words, he had indeed left the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill and returned to the place he had entered before. It’s just that the other Heavenly Venerates who entered the Demon Witch Mountain had not yet returned.

“`

“`

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a silver light flickered, and five figures appeared in succession within his field of vision.

“`

“`

Upon clearly seeing these five figures, Han Yi’s expression changed slightly because among these five, there was no sight of the First Mountain Master. Among them, including the First Mountain Master, of the original four Demon Witches, only the Fire Witch had appeared. The remaining four were all Heavenly Venerates of Initial and Middle-stage from other Demon Witch Mountains.

“`

“`

After waiting for a moment longer, no other figures appeared. Fire Witch Venerable Sage swept his gaze over all the present Venerates and spoke in a deep voice:

“`

“`

“This Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill is too perilous. Fellow Daoists, can you share your experiences within it so we can verify and discuss them with each other? What do you say?”

“`

“`

This suggestion from the Fire Witch received approval from all present Venerates, and a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate spoke first:

“`

“`

“In these ten thousand years, I’ve encountered seven battles among Heavenly Venerates. Among them, there were two occasions where I faced off against a peer and the danger was extraordinary. Surviving was indeed no small feat.”

“`

“`

This Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate spoke with a sigh, his face carrying the look of someone who had a narrow escape.

“`

“`

The emotional state of a Heavenly Venerate from Demon Witch Mountain revealed the extreme danger he faced; it must have been incredibly perilous beyond what a few words could summarize.

“`

“`

Another Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate also seemed deeply affected with a complicated look in his eyes, and he slowly said:

“`

“`

“I encountered six battles among Heavenly Venerates, participated in three personally, and even killed a peer Venerate. I was severely wounded by a Middle-stage Venerate, hid for six thousand years, and still have lingering injuries to this day.”

“`

“`

The other two Initial Stage Venerates briefly recounted their experiences as well.

“`

“`

Upon hearing the accounts of these four Venerates, Han Yi’s brows furrowed deeply, confused.

“`

“`

The accounts of these four Venerates implied that most of their encounters were with peers, and even if they faced higher-stage opponents, it was at most once, and not necessarily a life-and-death situation.

“`

“`

But this was vastly different from his own experiences. Within the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill, the number of his battles with Middle-stage Heavenly Venerates totaled seven, not to mention the attacks from High-level Venerates and being involved in the skirmishes between two Realm Venerates.

“`

“`

Such experiences were starkly different from those of the other Heavenly Venerates from Demon Witch Mountain.

“`

“`

When it was his turn, his thoughts flickered, but he did not fully disclose his experiences and instead chose parts to share that were not much different from those of the other Initial Stage Venerates.

“`

“`

It was his deliberate concealment. After all, there’s demonry in the abnormal. If the other Venerates knew he had a unique experience, it might spell great trouble. With the First Mountain Master not returning, facing the Fire Witch alone, he would undoubtedly be in a life-and-death predicament.

“`

“`

Han Yi’s response did not arouse suspicion among the other Venerates. Even the Fire Witch did not harbor much doubt.

“`

“`

After listening to the five Venerates, the Fire Witch spoke: “My experiences are similar to yours. I encountered High-level Venerates twice, and though I didn’t manage to kill any of them in these two clashes, they also could not overcome me.”

“`

“`

“However,”

“`

“`

The Fire Witch’s tone shifted as he continued, “Just ten thousand years, and we have encountered so many battles among Venerates. This signifies that the danger of this ancient battlefield is indeed terrifying.”

“`

“`

“And among you, there are those who have faced attacks from Venerates a stage higher and have survived, which is truly no easy feat.”

“`

“`

“This must be what Jian Witch has said, that this ancient battlefield bears considerable malice towards outsiders.”

“`

“`

After saying this, the Fire Witch paused briefly and then added:

“`

“`

“And in the first ten thousand years, only the six of us have chosen to leave. We do not know how many Daoist friends perished within, or how many have persisted past the second set of ten thousand years.”

“`

“`

After saying this, the Fire Witch fell into an inexplicable silence.

“`

“`

The other Venerates, including Han Yi, all fell into silence as well.

“`

“`

The others were silent because they felt the danger of the forbidden zone and were worried about the other Daoist friends from Demon Witch Mountain.

“`

“`

While Han Yi’s silence stemmed from his profound doubts about his unique experiences within the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill.

“`

“`

But with just a flicker of thought, considering his own special circumstances, he found a possible source that might be responsible for this disparity.

“`

“`

“Boundary Power, it must be Boundary Power.”

“`

“`

“What differs me from the other Heavenly Venerates of Demon Witch Mountain is that each time I slay a Tao Realm or a Venerate, I am able to take Boundary Power from the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Skill.”

“`

“`

“And this has led to the malice from this forbidden land towards me, much stronger than towards the other Venerates.”

“`

“`

As his thoughts spun, he heard the Fire Witch Venerable Sage say:

“`

“`

“Alas, what’s done is done, now we can only wait.”

“`

“`

“Jian Witch once said, should he perish, and all those who entered this time have left or perished, the key that opened this forbidden land on his body will be displayed here.”

“`

“`

“This period won’t be long, after all, one year here is equivalent to ten thousand years in the forbidden land.”

“`

“`

“At most, it will be a year or two before we will see the outcome.”

“`

“`

Upon hearing the words of the Fire Witch Venerable Sage, Han Yi’s head snapped up. He had not heard these before, but it did not explain whether the First Mountain Master had perished.

“`

“`

Upon hearing this, the other Venerates nodded and then waited on their own, simultaneously examining their earnings from this venture.
