Chapter 1217: Chapter 1127 Departure_1

A thousand individuals destined for the Divine Consciousness Battlefield stood silently upon the plaza.

Clearly, everyone’s expressions were solemn.

The Great Elder Reuben Wilson stood there, looking down at the people below, and several elderly figures with diminished vitality had appeared by his side.

When Peter Brown looked at those elders, he understood that these were the old members of the Ghost Expelling Sect who had been in closed-door cultivation for years trying to break through their limitations unsuccessfully. They had now reached the end of their lifespan and could only preserve their Divine Sense within the Divine Stones. For them, their purpose for entering was one: to kill as many of the opposing side’s people as possible within the Divine Stone.

Reuben Wilson spoke loudly, "We shall enter the Divine Consciousness Battlefield for a decisive battle! This battle is crucial for the survival of our Ghost Expelling Sect. I hope that everyone can emerge victorious and return alive. Once inside, you must unite and refrain from targeting members of your own sect!"

After delivering quite a speech, Reuben Wilson then turned to the Sect Leader and said, "We are setting off now."

Alexander Smith said earnestly, "Everything now depends on you all, take care!"

A huge flying vehicle was summoned, and everyone boarded it one after the other.

As Peter Brown stepped on board, he immediately noticed Elder Cook staring at him, his gaze full of murderous intent which then quickly faded away.

It seems that he still has not given up on the idea of killing me!

Peter Brown was likewise cautious of Elder Cook.

After the flying vehicle took off, Reuben Wilson addressed everyone, "Although the Divine Stone is not large, the space within it for Divine Sense is incredibly vast. After entering, do your best to locate the nodes. Once a node is found, return quickly. The outcome of this mission will be based on the number of survivors, so a great reward awaits all who return to the sect."

He looked at the few elders and said, "Their sole objective is one: to kill the Demon Sect’s people at all costs."

A disciple asked, "How do we recognize our own people?"

"Upon entry, each person will be given a Divine Sense Identification. Simply looking at it in person will allow you to distinguish friends from foes. Do not overthink this matter."

Continuing, Reuben Wilson said, "The nodes within the Divine Stone appear randomly and are not fixed, so don’t bother with any maps or similar items sold in the market. They are useless. Besides the Divine Sense of humans, the Divine Stone’s interior also contains the Divine Sense of some Immortal Beasts or Demon Beasts. Some natural Divine Sense Energy entities are also formed, and they are equally intelligent. Therefore, the risks remain high once inside."

An elder spoke at this time, "Also, be mindful that when a node is discovered, do not approach it rashly. There are often guardian Divine Senses at the nodes, and a careless move could result in death. The best course of action is to join forces as much as possible, as this will increase everyone’s chances of getting out."

Another elder said, "If anyone obtains items inside that can extend life, feel free to exchange them with the sect for a wealth of resources. We are also willing to trade directly with you, and we believe it will not be to your disadvantage."

Peter Brown asked, puzzled, "Are there really items that grow inside?"

"Indeed, the interior of the Divine Stone is a mystery to us and contains many things beneficial to cultivators. All of you must observe carefully," replied the elder.

Peter Brown now realized that the interior of the Divine Stone was fraught with danger; with battlefields at every turn, the chances of safely exiting were not great.

Looking around at the others, he indeed saw that everyone’s complexions were not so rosy, each face etched with seriousness.

Naturally, Reuben Wilson was aware of everyone’s thoughts and, without further comment, sat down to cultivate after expressing all that needed to be said.

Peter Brown, having no acquaintances himself, found a spot and also sat cross-legged, delving deeply into his own body with his mind.

His Brain Domain was vast, a fact that pleased Peter. He figured that maybe this time he could completely fill his Divine Sense.

Inspecting his Elixir Sea, he noticed some changes; the Five Thunderbolt Knives had formed themselves into a Five Elements Array and seemed to be cultivating on their own.

At that moment, Peter had an idea and placed the Sect Leader’s Ring into the Ruyi Furnace to see if any repulsive forces would emerge.

En route, Peter practiced controlling the Five Elements Blade Formation in his Elixir Sea, becoming even more adept at it.

"We’ve arrived!"

After a few days, the Great Elder shouted, awakening those who were in the midst of cultivation.

Opening his eyes, Peter saw a large plaza before him with a red stone situated in the center.

"Do not use Divine Sense to investigate the Divine Stone now, or you will be immediately sucked into it," Reuben Wilson reminded everyone once more.

This made everyone quickly retract their Divine Sense. Premature entry before proper arrangements could be disastrous.

Peter was already aware of this and refrained from using Divine Sense for investigation.

"We are a thousand personnel from the Beast Sect Exorcism Faction, and we have now arrived."

Reuben Wilson announced this loudly while standing there.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with profound cultivation made his presence known and, with a slight nod towards Peter and the others, said, "Alright, your designated area is location number twenty. Proceed there and make your preparations."

"Yes."

Reuben Wilson respectfully acknowledged the man from the Beast Sect.

In no time, they reached location number twenty. Peter glanced around and saw it was an open area.

"Elders, follow me to set up the formation!"

Reuben Wilson took out an assortment of formation disks from his Ring and began setting up an extensive formation within a large perimeter.

"The Sect’s Protective Array!"

Some whispered in surprise.

It took them a full day to complete the formation, and after a test run, it seemed to function without any issue.

Having set up the formation, Reuben Wilson addressed everyone, "You may choose a spot within this range to set up your own formations, somewhere where you can still remotely sense the Divine Stone to the greatest extent."

Peter Brown assessed the situation with the Divine Stone and decided not to set up his formation at the forefront, but rather chose a location slightly farther back where fewer people were present. He began to establish the defensive formation brought by Harry White from his Family.

After setting up the Family’s formation, Peter entered it and also set up the Scenic Array inside.

Once he activated the concealment feature, the formation became nearly imperceptible unless one was specifically looking for it. Of course, the Immortal Stone is a source of energy; Peter did not forget to place a sufficient supply for two years’ runtime into both formations.

Peter had considered setting up the Scenic Array, thinking it would deceive most and prevent them from discovering him.
