If something happens to Ruoqing Xue Si Lan and Qing Xue Si Yun on the way, Qin Chen would surely feel guilty towards Qing Xue Gu Hua Lao Zu and would have no face to face him in the future.
"Chen, don't worry, Si Lan will definitely be fine," whispered You Qianxue, holding Qin Chen's hand gently.
"Mm!"
Ji Ruyue also nestled against Qin Chen. She now understood the relationship between Qin Chen and Qing Xue Si Lan. In the Sword Tomb, Qing Xue Gu Hua Lao Zu had been willing to stand against Mie Xing Zun Zhe and others for Qin Chen, and Qing Xue Si Lan was Qin Chen's disciple. If something happened, Qin Chen would definitely not forgive himself.
Ji Ruyue held Qin Chen's hand, rubbing her face against it, feeling Qin Chen's tenderness, thinking how wonderful this moment was.
"Let's hope so."
Qin Chen murmured and then said, "Notify Lion Tiger Demon Lord to come to me."
"Master, you called for me?"
Moments later, Lion Tiger Demon Lord arrived at the battleship where Qin Chen was, and said respectfully.
Qin Chen looked at Lion Tiger Demon Lord: "Earlier in the conference hall, you seemed to have something to tell me, but you didn't say it. What was it you wanted to say?"
Qin Chen looked at Lion Tiger Demon Lord with curiosity.
Lion Tiger Demon Lord was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Master, I did indeed have something to say earlier. I wanted to lead my followers to the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield to earn battle merits and then break through the Venerable Realm. However, there are still many matters in the Ten Thousand Clans Sect that need resolution. Thus, after hesitating, I decided not to mention it and planned to wait until the Southern Heaven Realm matters are resolved before bringing it up to you."
"Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield?"
Qin Chen asked in confusion.
At this moment, Ji Wuxue walked over, saying, "The Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield, also known as the Human-Demon Battlefield, is called such because it's the place where the myriad clans and the Demon Tribe wage great battles. Over the years, although the sound of Demon Tribe invading the Heavenly Realm has quieted, it has never really stopped. Instead, fights have continued annually between the myriad clans led by humankind and the Demon Tribe on the battlefield for countless millennia!"
"Ji Da Ren is right," said Lion Tiger Demon Lord. "Master, although I am close to touching the threshold of Venerable, and am just a step away, in this Heavenly Realm, breaking through may take at least ten thousand years. But on the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield, if there's an opportunity, one can break through to the Venerable Realm in a thousand, a hundred, or even shorter years."
"Is that so?"
Qin Chen was surprised. This was the first time he had heard of this.
Staying in the Heavenly Realm requires ten thousand years to break through, but on the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield, it takes only a thousand or a hundred years, or even less. The difference is too great.
"Why is there such a large disparity?"
"This... I don't know either. I only know that breaking through to Venerable in the Heavenly Realm is extremely difficult. At least in recent years, there are very few who have broken through to Venerable in the Four Great Heavenly Realms. On the contrary, many Venerables have been born in the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield. Nowadays, the young Venerables among the myriad clans are almost all born in the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield," explained Lion Tiger Demon Lord.
This revelation left Qin Chen quite shocked; it's exceedingly difficult to give birth to a Venerable in the Heavenly Realm.
Ji Wuxue added, "I do know a bit about it. The current Four Great Heavenly Realms are rebuilt after being shattered, which also leads to the power of the Heavenly Dao being not strong. To break through to Venerable, one must surpass the Heavenly Dao and transcend it. Because the rules of the Heavenly Realm are incomplete, it becomes extremely difficult to break through to Venerable."
"Moreover, the current Heavenly Realm has not been fully repaired and is still very weak, not having much power to give birth to Venerables. However, the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield is different. It was originally the land of the ancient Heavenly Realm. After an ancient battle, the Heavenly Realm shattered, but the Ten Thousand Clans Battlefield was preserved due to the gathering of top level experts from various clans."
