Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1474: Going to the Center of the Battlefield to Broaden Horizons**

Palatial buildings were arranged in an orderly manner. Lin Moyu walked among them, feeling the grandeur and ancient aura that these structures exuded. The buildings were both luxurious and majestic, radiating a sense of timelessness.

Walking through the palace complex, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of solemnity, and even the sound of conversation seemed suppressed. The people coming and going were all exceptionally handsome men and extraordinarily beautiful women. Their demeanor exuded an indescribable nobility.

This was the ancestral land of the Yu family, the origin of their bloodline.

Madam Yu descended gracefully, like an immortal. Many people on the ground looked up at her, their eyes filled with admiration. They envied her realm, her demeanor, and her beauty.

“If only I could reach Madam Yu’s realm in this lifetime.”

“Dream on, that’s the Beyond Realm. Be content if you can reach the God Sovereign Realm.”

“Exactly, unlike me, I just wish to be as beautiful as Madam Yu.”

“That’s even more of a pipe dream.”

The young people of the Yu family joked and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Madam Yu entered the palace and went to its deepest part. There stood a large circular pool, its waters formed from the laws of life, constantly emitting a vast life force.

Madam Yu placed the three souls from the soul orb into the pool for nourishment. Under the nourishment of the laws of life, the souls would recover much faster. Although the souls were no longer in critical condition, they still needed to replenish the energy consumed over the years.

Seeing the three souls stabilize, Madam Yu’s eyes showed less worry. She knew that a large part of the credit for their stability belonged to Lin Moyu, whose laws had a miraculous effect on healing souls, even better than the laws of life.

Next, she needed to find a way to reconstruct their bodies.

“Xiaobao!” With a slight flip of her jade-like hand, Xiaobao appeared in her palm. Xiaobao’s virtual image was much clearer than before, looking like a cute five or six-year-old girl.

Xiaobao’s clear voice rang out, “Master, Xiaobao is here.”

Madam Yu held Xiaobao in her palm, “Xiaobao, tell me in detail about your recent experiences.”

“Okay.” Xiaobao immediately began to recount everything that had happened since entering the Soul Spirit Realm.

Madam Yu listened quietly, then murmured, “The Soul Spirit Realm, the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast, the sacrifice of an entire world… The ancient battle reached such a point.”

“Only by killing the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast could one leave that place. So, it was Lin Moyu who ultimately killed the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast.”

“It’s a pity Xiaobao couldn’t enter, so we don’t know how Lin Moyu did it.”

“It seems that to know more details, I still need to ask Lin Moyu.”

“The treasure I promised him can’t be too shabby.”

Madam Yu’s eyes showed contemplation, weighing the pros and cons. At her level, calculating gains and losses had become second nature. She deeply understood that to gain something, one must pay a price.

In the void, a small, exquisite warship was advancing by jumping through space, each jump covering tens of millions of kilometers, much faster than the speed of light.

Lin Moyu, filled with curiosity, asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Zhu Qiwu replied in a low voice, “To the center of the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, to show you something and broaden your horizons.”

Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. He had read about the center of the Vermilion Bird Battlefield when he first entered it. It was described as a very mysterious place, with many star beasts of the God Sovereign Realm, a place even God Sovereigns couldn’t approach.

Legend had it that the center held the most fundamental secrets of the Vermilion Bird Battlefield. However, many considered it just a legend, a way to add a sense of mystery. Most people didn’t pay much attention to it, as it was too far out of reach, even for God Sovereigns.

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but ask, “What’s at the center?”

Zhu Qiwu smiled mysteriously, “You’ll know when we get there. But I can tell you that fewer than three people below the Beyond Realm have been there.”

Lin Moyu understood, “Is it very dangerous?”

Zhu Qiwu chuckled, “It’s not just dangerous. You’ll understand when you get there.”

“You’re really good at keeping secrets,” Lin Moyu thought to himself. Zhu Qiwu’s words had piqued his curiosity.

Zhu Qiwu continued, “You’re about to leave the battlefield soon. Whether you’ll return is uncertain. Before you leave, you should gain a deeper understanding of the battlefield. It might not be very useful, but it will broaden your horizons.”

Lin Moyu found it strange, “Why do you say that?”

Zhu Qiwu smiled, “You’re about to gain level five permissions. Once you do, you’ll see the real big world. With a broader perspective, you’ll have more places to go and probably won’t come back.”

Zhu Qiwu, having seen many things over the millennia, sighed, “I’ve seen many geniuses like you. Once they leave the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, they rarely return.”

Lin Moyu thought about it and realized it was true. In the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, level five permissions were not common among ordinary cultivators. Most who reached this level were high-level God Kings, but their strength was generally average, not considered geniuses.

In the mysterious places, there were many geniuses, but they had special statuses and couldn’t be counted among the ordinary.

According to Zhu Qiwu, those who reached level five permissions would enter a broader world. The tasks in the Vermilion Bird Battlefield seemed dangerous, with constant threats from enemy races and unexpected incidents. Almost every day, cultivators fell on the battlefield.

This was the information given in the initial materials. However, upon closer inspection, not all tasks were dangerous. At least half of the tasks were quite safe. If one chose safer tasks, they could earn points and improve their permissions while cultivating safely.

But without experiencing life-and-death trials, their combat power and cultivation level wouldn’t improve much. Such people were not considered geniuses. They were mediocre as ordinary people and remained so as cultivators.

Seeing Lin Moyu’s expression, Zhu Qiwu knew he had understood. “You should understand the task system of the battlefield. It’s similar to the task system in the Human Star Domain, aimed at nurturing talent.”

“Although the danger level is higher, most tasks are still safe.”

“The choice is yours. Whether you choose dangerous or simple tasks is up to you.”

“But tasks are also a constraint. Once your permissions and realm improve, you’ll naturally look down on these constrained tasks.”
