My construction materials are weird

"Huh? I know you. Aren't you Lao Tie?"

"Yes, yes, it's me."

"Didn't you return to your hometown to protect your people? Why have you come here?"

"My lord, you're right. That was the plan. I bid farewell to Qingyun Mountain before the calamity arrived and returned to my hometown. But not long ago, my hometown was incorporated into the officially governed territory of Qingyun Mountain, and my people were relocated to a large city. So, I came here."

"Well, then work hard, but don't lose your life."

"Thank you for your guidance, my lord."

This is a massive battlefield, the cause of which ninety percent of cultivators don't understand.

Only the higher-ups were informed by Sun Tong.

It was a massive beast surge and a strange outbreak secretly planned by top-tier realms like the Western Hunting Qilin Realm and the Eastern Sea Realm to cause trouble for Xuan Huang.

Because they were prepared, the beast surge didn't cause much damage.

Of course, that's from the perspective of ordinary people.

The cultivators blocked the beast rampage in the wilderness, thwarting the plans of the Qilin Realm and the Eastern Sea Realm.

This created a stalemate.

And the Lao Tie in the conversation is none other than Uncle Tie, Dogzi and Zhuzi's uncle.

Half a year ago, he returned to his hometown to prepare for the arrival of the ten-year node.

But now, as he said, plans don't keep up with changes. His hometown is being protected by pioneering experts.

And it was relocated. His originally remote hometown was moved to a more centralized city. He was liberated.

He doesn't need to worry about the safety of his hometown's people.

After a period of silence, he embarked on the battlefield and came to the Third Battlefield.

Due to the conspiracy of several top-tier realms, three major battlefields appeared on the land protected by Xuan Huang.

One is the Western Hunting Qilin Realm, which is mainly dominated by fierce beasts. The second is the Eastern Sea Realm battlefield, which is also dominated by fierce beasts, but it's more dangerous here, as the beasts from the sea have come ashore.

There's also the Mangshan Realm, which is full of strangeness, but also a collection of bizarre beasts.

These three battlefields are currently the most intense places of war and also the places with the highest mortality rates.

In a one-on-one fight, fierce beasts are no match for cultivators, but there are so many of them.

They are densely packed and endless. Not only are there fierce beasts from Blue Star, but also fierce beasts from various small worlds and secret realms. The combined number is difficult to count.

Anyway, the cultivators on the three major battlefields feel like they can never kill them all.

They kill a batch today, and another batch comes tomorrow, as if they are endless.

It should be noted that not only are humans evolving, but beasts are also evolving.

Before, there were only a handful of extraordinary beasts, but recently there has been a large-scale outbreak.

This is related to the changes in the world and also to the intervention of the three major top-tier realms.

There are even some inaccurate reports that not only are top-tier realms taking action, but also large, medium, and small realms are stirring up trouble.

Although the deities of these realms cannot come out, they can still contribute.

After being united by the top-tier realms, they are very interested in dealing with Xuan Huang and even have a somewhat irreconcilable attitude.

The reason has been mentioned before: the enmity of obstructing the Dao.

Unlike the top-tier realms, they have ways to advance on their own.

What they can rely on seems to be only raising living beings to provide faith and incense.

Xuan Huang's self-improvement method, where everyone is like a dragon, does not conform to their values.

They don't want humans to be like dragons; they want humans to worship and offer sacrifices to them, just being stable pigs is enough.

Therefore, they saw an opportunity in the alliance of the three major top-tier realms, contributing money and effort.

This is how the current three major battlefields came to be.

The living beings of the realms cannot come out, but they still have some means.

For example, manipulating some beasts or strange creatures, increasing the intelligence of some beasts, or providing divine soul suppression, or even developing beast subordinates. They can achieve these means.

They are just cannon fodder, they don't have much to contribute, so they naturally support it very much.

In these realms, Xuan Huang's reputation is notoriously bad.

The analogy of everyone wanting to kill them is not an exaggeration.

"How is it, Lao Zhang? Why don't you go rest for a while? We can hold on for a bit longer, we can drag it out until the time is up."

On the massive battlefield, every high ground or every section of the battle line is guarded by a squad.

Don't misunderstand and think that this kind of position is dangerous and forcibly arranged.

On the contrary, these battle lines are fought for.

To lead a team to guard such a high ground, you need to compete and have certain qualifications.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be qualified to guard the high ground.

It is the result of discussions between loose cultivators and major forces.

Cultivators are not afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, don't be a cultivator. Besides, there is the Purgatory as a backup.

Therefore, everyone is fearless, and everyone wants to make a name for themselves and improve their cultivation.

But improving cultivation is not that simple. Who doesn't want to improve their cultivation?

The arrival of the calamity has created an opportunity. As long as you dare to fight and are willing to work hard, the more you work hard, the more daily merits you will receive.

The red-eyed cultivators are self-explanatory, right?

As long as they don't die, they won't leave the battlefield. They are getting stronger and stronger. They love it too much.

Not to mention the three fundamental laws of Xuan Huang, they are not afraid of injury or exploitation. The more you are injured and the more you are exploited, the more refined you become.

This is the reason why the battle line high ground needs to be fought for.

Each squad forms itself, and then receives a number to guard.

This requires competition to get the job. If the battleground you are in is always breached, points will be deducted. Once the score drops to a certain level, you will be deprived of the qualification to guard the battle line.

For example, at this 9342 position, someone is injured.

His injury means that there is one less person, and one less person means there is a crisis of being breached by beasts.

"It's my fault, I've implicated everyone."

"Lao Zhang, what are you saying? We are comrades in life and death. Don't say such things in the future. Even if you don't believe in us, don't you believe in our oath to the Xuan Master?" a comrade said.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said these things, anyway, thank you all... By the way, here are my spirit talismans and pills, as well as some special methods. Take them, don't save them for me when you need them."

The injured Lao Zhang quickly apologized.

Then he hurriedly took out his various methods. He may not be able to contribute, but he must provide assistance.

Various spirit talismans and pills are what he offered.

“Haha, then we won't stand on ceremony. Rest assured, your spirit talismans and pills will be used where they are needed and won't waste your contribution points. Put your mind at ease; a mere ferocious beast can't overcome the defenses our Radiance Squad guards.”

“That's right, Old Zhang, don't worry. Our Radiance Squad is currently ranked quite high, so even if we lose a defense once, there's no risk of dropping in rank. Relax,” the captain said at this moment.

“Thank you, everyone.”

Old Zhang could only say this.

This was a microcosm of the three major battlefields.

It was also a microcosm of each base and each squad. Finally having the qualification to guard a base was a tremendous opportunity.

It was the fastest time for improvement, and everyone cherished it.

The benefits of guarding a base weren't just the daily contribution points; there was also a special support channel from the Merit Hall.

For example, you could buy holy pills, holy water, five elements spiritual objects, rare Gu poisons, scarce spirit wine, scarce spirit clothes, scarce magic tools, spirit plant seeds, and so on that you couldn't buy with contribution points before.

To support the three major battlefields, Sun Tong separately opened up resource support.

You would also be registered by the Merit Hall and gain fame for outstanding battle achievements and powerful combat strength.

With the accumulation of various benefits, not to mention cultivators weren't afraid of sacrifice in the first place.

No one could make a mistake once, beginning to end, inside and out!

Even those afraid of death would act fearlessly in the face of such temptation.

“This is the 8745 base, Hero Squad. We have repelled the 185th attack of the ferocious beasts, with no casualties… This time, the ferocious beasts coordinated an air and ground attack, with flying creatures, walking beasts, and burrowing creatures. We need to be careful, over.”

Hero Squad's captain, Ji Mingyue, reported.

Each battlefield had a general headquarters.

Each squad needed to report the battle situation after each major battle, and could also seek support and report the strange movements of the ferocious beasts in real-time.

“Headquarters understands. Congratulations to the Hero Squad for withstanding another attack without casualties. Currently, you are ranked fifth overall in the three major battlefields, and first in the Qilin Battlefield. Keep up the good work.”

“Thank you, Headquarters.”

Ji Mingyue thanked them.

Ji Mingyue's identity wasn't simple; she was the granddaughter of Ji Zhongfu, the number one expert among cultivators, from the Divine Demon World.

Ji Zhongfu wasn't alone either; he also had his own Ji family, after all, he was a descendant of the Sky God Ancestor.

Ji Mingyue was Ji Zhongfu's proud granddaughter. A squad had eight to twelve people, and she led a twelve-person group composed of half women to form the Hero Squad.

Currently, they were ranked fifth in the three major battlefields.

First place in the Qilin Battlefield.

In general, the Qilin Battlefield in the three major battlefields had the lowest difficulty and was recognized as the least dangerous battlefield.

Because ferocious beasts accounted for more than 90% here, and there were very few anomalies.

The most tragic battlefield was the East Sea Battlefield. There were too many sea beasts, and they were stronger than those on land. Just speaking of size, they were larger. They had what the land had, and the sea had what the land didn't.

Not to mention the anomalies in the sea were also being driven.

Ferocious beasts + anomalies, both of which were difficult to see on land, so this was the most intense place.

Not to mention sometimes they needed to fight in the sea, so the East Sea Battlefield was the most intense.

The second was the Mang Mountain Battlefield. The danger here was that anomalies and ferocious beasts were about half and half. It was generally recognized that anomalies were stronger than ferocious beasts.

Therefore, the Qilin Battlefield ranked third.

It could also be seen from the overall ranking that they were ranked first in the Qilin Battlefield, but the overall ranking could only be fifth.

The top four were from the East Sea Battlefield and the Mang Mountain Battlefield.

“The Four Greats are indeed the Four Greats, occupying the top positions in all aspects.”

Ji Mingyue sighed, still ranked fifth, a very stable ranking.

That's right, the top four were squads formed by the Four Greats.

They were the squads built by Lin Fan, Zhu Zishan, Monk Shankong, and Qingfeng Daoist of the Four Greats.

They firmly occupied the top four, unshakeable.

Ji Mingyue had already gathered the young talents of the Divine Demon World, but still couldn't catch up.

“Big Sister, how about we go to the East Sea Battlefield? Maybe we can catch up if we go there,”

a teammate said.

“No, Grandpa is right, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. We are number one in the Qilin Battlefield. If we go to the other two places, we can only be third. People will only pay attention to those ahead of us, it's not worth it.”

Ji Mingyue said.

She didn't agree with her teammate's suggestion to go to the East Sea Battlefield.

It was better to stay firmly in this place. Who knew what unpredictable dangers there would be if they went to the other two places.

Moreover, Grandpa also said that the Four Greats looked very peaceful, but this needed to be established on the premise that other forces didn't pose a threat to them.

If a threat appeared, the Four Greats wouldn't be so peaceful.

It was best for the people of their Divine Demon World, especially his granddaughter Ji Zhongfu, to be low-key.

It wasn't that they shouldn't be in the limelight, but it should be just right, so they could earn fame and fortune without touching the Four Greats' sore spots.

“I don't know what these realm domains are thinking, actually trying to enslave us, it's really hateful.”

Seeing that Big Sister didn't agree, the teammates had to give up.

They began to talk about other things.

As young talents from the Divine Demon World, they knew the reason.

Some realm domains didn't want to see the Profound Masters leading everyone to become like dragons, so there was this beast tide.

This made them very angry.

It shattered the sacred filter they had for the realm domains.

Many people had a filter for the realm domains before, thinking that these sacred beings were their own people, their protectors. Now, these protectors actually wanted to enslave them.

They felt offended.

“It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. It's useless to rely on anyone. The people of our Divine Demon World are a little better, mainly those of the main world. They think they can rely on the realm domain sacred beings, but they don't know how ridiculous this is… The most important thing is that they still have Profound Masters, but they are still fantasizing about having more protectors, it's really incomprehensible.”

“That's right, that's right. If we had existences like Profound Masters, then we wouldn't have to go through those previous crises, and we would have counterattacked the barbaric demon ghost world long ago.”

“We can just discuss these words ourselves, don't say them to the fellow Daoists of the main world. After all, they are not us, and we are not them. Different experiences have different feelings. It's normal for them to have fantasies about the realm domain sacred beings.”

Ji Mingyue said.

Some words, because of different identities, cannot be said.

The formation of the three major battlefields this time did make the people of the main world more wary of the realm domains.

This vigilance included the Four Greats.

The Four Greats each had their own predecessors and cultural traditions.

These predecessors and cultures were the prerequisites for the formation of the realm domains. For example, each sect had its own holy land and holy mountain. Those places were now the realm domain sacred beings.

The emergence of the three major battlefields made it clear that it was caused by the realm domain sacred beings.

The Four Greats, especially the Three Teachings, were very uncomfortable.

Although it wasn't that the realm domains where their predecessors were located caused it.

But a rabbit mourns for the death of its kind, and things hurt for their own kind, it was there.
