Dong Shi Wang, a prodigious talent hailing from the Dong Clan, emerged from a collateral branch. Despite being labeled as a Quintessential Virtuous, his brilliance outshone even that of a True Paragon.
Renowned throughout the Runestone Solar System, Dong Shi Wang’s battle prowess struck fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it. Though he did not possess the official title of a true paragon, his abilities were said to rival those of such esteemed individuals.
Many experts speculated that if Dong Shi Wang had been born as an Omincolor Paragon, he would have stood uncontested as the supreme force in the entire domain.
As word of Dong Shi Wang’s unparalleled battle prowess spread, it drew the attention and jealousy of countless experts.
However, it was not only his immense skill that garnered disdain towards Dong Shi Wang. His arrogance and ostentatious nature seemed to further fuel the animosity towards him. Adding to the simmering hatred, Dong Shi Wang was constantly surrounded by four enchanting beauties, intensifying the envy that others felt.
With a dismissive shake of his head, Liang made his way towards the towering Pillar of Fields.
On his side a group of experts engaged in a fervent and animated discussion. As he drew closer, the captivating voices of the experts echoed throughout the hall, piquing his interest.
They were gathered around a mesmerizingly vivid holographic projection, showcasing the discovery of a newly unearthed ancient battlefield. Each expert spoke with passion, their eyes filled with an unquenchable thirst for adventure.
A burly man, bearing multiple battle scars on his arms, exuded an air of excitement as he proclaimed, "I’ve heard tales of this battlefield, my friends. Legend has it that it was the site of a momentous clash between two renowned ancient sects from a bygone epoch."
A woman dressed in resplendent robes eagerly joined the conversation, her eyes shining with anticipation. "Indeed I heard they were too famous back then, There should be many treasure there."
As excitement filled the air, the burly man regaled his companions with tales of the sects’ territorial disputes, recounting their fierce battles for dominance. This ancient battlefield, they were told, had become the battleground of their ultimate confrontation.
The words "Dawn Lotus Sect" rolled off the burly man’s tongue. The woman nodded in agreement, her eyes alight with intrigue, as she chimed in, "And the other, the Cosmic Blood Sect."
A scholarly expert, his face alight with intellectual delight, interjected, "Throughout the ages, these two rival sects were entwined in a struggle for supremacy, their pursuit of power leading to legendary confrontations. This ancient battlefield, however, appears to mark the zenith of their conflict."
"Indeed, the historical significance of this battlefield cannot be overstated," The scholarly looking expert proclaimed, his voice resonating with reverence.
Liang found himself irresistibly drawn to the conversation, compelled to join their ranks. He stepped forward, catching the eye of the experts, all of whom welcomed him warmly.
The burly man flashed a wide grin, "Not yet, my friend! We are in the midst of discussing the optimal approach and forming a team to venture into this uncharted territory. Would you care to join us? The more, the merrier!"
Positively captivated, Liang’s smile widened as he extended his hand. "I am Liang, a recent arrival to Frostfell."
"Greetings, fellow cultivator," the three experts replied simultaneously, their attitude was rather welcoming which is something rare in Frostfall.
The woman in resplendent robes introduced herself next, her voice smooth and captivating. "I am Brita, pleased to make your acquaintance."
The scholarly expert added his introduction, his tone brimming with scholarly passion. "I am Eldris, a historian and scholar specializing in ancient artifacts."
The burly man stepped forward and introduced himself with a loud voice. "I am Zhang Wei, honored to meet you, brother."

Liang nodded gratefully, savoring the warmth of their welcome. After a brief pause, curiosity got the best of him. "Are there any requirements to gain entry into this ancient battleground?"
Zhang Wei nodded assuredly. "To set foot upon this hallowed ground, one must first obtain a jade map from the exploration hall, which will reveal the exact location of the battlefield. Aside from that, there are no other prerequisites."
Liang absorbed the information, his thirst for adventure growing stronger. "I understand."
Eldris stepped forward, his expression grave. "However, fellow Liang, I must strongly advise against venturing forth alone."
Suppressing his inner disdain, Liang raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "And why might that be?"
Eldris’s voice carried a solemn tone as he imparted his wisdom. "Ancient battlefields harbor dangers that surpass even those found within secret realms. The sheer amount of death, remnants, and Yin Qi present are fertile breeding grounds for the birth of ominous creatures."
Liang probed further, seeking clarity. "Even for those who have reached the Seventh Order Realm?"
Eldris’s response was immediate, his expression unyielding. "Indeed, brother Liang, it remains an incredibly perilous endeavor."
Synchrony swept over the three experts as they exchanged glances, all in agreement.
With a charming smile, Brita extended her hand, the gesture inviting. "Why not join us, brother Liang? We find ourselves in need of another member for our team."
Liang concealed his inner satisfaction, holding back a smirk as he played his role. In an attempt to seem unsure, he asked, "Are you certain I would be a suitable addition?"
Zhang Wei laughed heartily, his booming voice filled with reassurance. "Do not worry, brother Liang. It is truly no cause for concern."
Gratitude flickered in Liang’s eyes as he responded, the authenticity of his words carefully conveyed. "I am genuinely taken aback by the kindness I have encountered."
Eldris chuckled warmly. "Rest assured, brother Liang, even in a world seemingly consumed by darkness, the light of goodness still prevails."
Liang’s curiosity remained unabated as he sought further clarification. "And what becomes of any treasures we unearth within the battlefield?"
Brita nodded knowingly, her voice carrying a tone of finality. "Anything you find becomes yours and yours alone. Each individual can claim their own spoils."
