The mess at Firmaments City has spread across the twelve territories at a rapid rate. It became the hottest topic in the tea shops.
As for the Meng, it used to be the envy of Season. Now, in just one night, everyone started pitying this clan.
That night, mysterious assailants wiped out the clan at the capital. Their blood and corpses were found everywhere in the morning, fully filling the street. The city guards needed an entire day to clean them up.
The branches of the Meng around Season also suffered various attacks. Only weaker cultivators managed to survive.
Some gloated at their demise; others started benefiting from it. They began dividing the lands, mines, alchemy fields, blacksmith shops…
Virtually every power in Season participated in this competition.
No one knew the true reason for the clan’s downfall, only that the bride from the Meng wasn’t a virgin. Firmaments City lost face and a big shot from there wanted to massacre the Meng.
A clan that has been around for 80,000 years disappeared because a big shot from Firmaments desired so.
Meanwhile, Feiyun had secretly brought Meng Lingyan back to Season to see Meng Taiyue. It was up to him to get her through this period of guilt.
***
Inside the half-demon alliance.
Feiyun saw Elder Mu again and smiled: “Elder Mu, all the powers in Season are dividing the Meng’s resources now. I hope that the alliance has gotten something too.”
Elder Mu was in a good mood while sitting on a stone chair. He stroked his beard and responded: “Ye Xiaomu brought back your message and I told the Domain Lord about it. He asked the other alliances from the domains nearby for help so we were well-prepared with men in the important locations of the Meng. We had a great harvest, even got back the seventh-ranked spirit treasure they took from us.”
He then took out a fourth-ranked badge and gave it to Feiyun.
This contribution would have been enough to have a fifth-ranked badge. However, Feiyun’s time in the alliance was too short. Just becoming a fourth-ranked in a month-or-so was already unprecedented.
“The Domain Lord wishes to see you.” Elder Mu said seriously.
Feiyun put the badge away. This thing wasn’t that valuable but it could be useful when he needed help from the alliance.
There were more half-demons than any single sect or clan in the world. Thus, the half-demon alliance was number one when strictly talking about numbers.
“Because of my bloodline?” Feiyun asked.
Elder Mu nodded. He then brought Feiyun to a different grotto. Inside was a pond shrouded with fog and mist. They met the domain lord there.
He was a friendly old man who couldn’t hide his excitement after seeing Feiyun. He began praising Feiyun for his contribution to the alliance.
“The scroll containing how to hide demonic aura has been brought to the master branch of the alliance. The upper echelon truly values it. Here are 500,000 spirit stones, your reward.” The domain lord handed him a Boundary Spirit Stone.
This was a gigantic sum for most half-demons. However, Feiyun didn’t think much of it.
He didn’t take it and smiled: “Feel free to say what’s on your mind. And as for the spirit stones, I have no lack of them. Distribute them to the other members of the alliance.”
The domain lord got to the point and took out a jade box. Inside was a jewel with one drop of blood. It had a strange color and glow.
This was Feiyun’s blood.
“I want to know which demon race your mother is.” He stared intensely at Feiyun, clearly taking this matter seriously.
“The half-demon alliance can’t figure out this demonic energy?” Feiyun shook his head.
“I went to the main branch in Crimson Territory but even a high-level jewel can’t detect and analyze this blood. However, a senior did note that the blood also has an evil affinity on top of demonic.” The domain lord sighed.

Feiyun frowned while pondering.
“Don’t mind it too much, it’s fine not to know. We can still go to the master branch and check it later. I have something more important to discuss with you right now, this is definitely good news and a great challenge. We only have five spots in Season.” The domain lord smiled.
“A challenge?”
“Have you heard of the Myriad-race Battlefield?”
Feiyun has naturally heard of it. He asked: “Half-demons are allowed to go?”
“Not previously but the master branch has worked hard so now, we have some openings. The top geniuses can enter the battlefield to train.”
Myriad-race Battlefield wasn’t a holy ground for training or anything. On the other hand, it was a competitive and dangerous area. A few dimensions there had a 70% casualty rate.”
Of course, dangers and fortunes came together. Those who could come back were considered heroes. The longer the service, the more honor back in the central dynasties.
Contributions on the battlefield were essential to earn respect. That’s one way to prove one’s value.
For example, Gold City and Firmaments City also sent their top geniuses to the battlefield each year. The geniuses that came back alive would win the approval of the seniors.
Even the six scions of the southwest twelve territories were sent there for one month each year. They got this title after earning the most merit points for the young generation.
The battlefield consisted of ancient Grand Dimensions and Minor Dimensions. These were the big ones. There were lower-level realms and dimensions as well. Any race could come and compete by fighting - humans, demons, ghosts, foreign races…
Feiyun had thought about going there to train after reaching the first level of Nirvana. However, he had abandoned this idea because half-demons weren’t qualified.
Now, how could he refuse this chance?
“So I have been appointed a spot?” Feiyun asked.
“You have one for Season Domain but you might not qualify for Crimson Territory. Each territory only has five hundred spots for half-demons, a pitiful number.” The domain lord shook his head.
Crimson had a total of 8,654 domains. Each domain would send five top geniuses to the main branch of Crimson for a total of 43,270.
Finally, a selection process would start, narrowing the number down to 500. They would then have a chance to win land for humans there while fighting against demons and other races.
It was to let others know that half-demons could contribute too. This would earn respect and status.
The five spots for Season have been decided.
For the ninth level of Heaven’s Mandate - Ye Xiaomu and Li Lang.
For first-level Nirvana - Feng Feiyun.
Second-level Nirvana - Zhan Shidao, a fifth-ranked demon with incredible battle prowess and the uncle of Zhan Yue.
Third-level Nirvana - Elder Mu.
The battlefield had varying danger levels, meaning that there were separate stages.
Half-demons couldn’t reach Heaven’s Emergence. Most geniuses of this faction would stop at the first to the third level of Nirvana. The third-level ones were as rare as leaves in autumn, always heavily protected.
Feiyun could tell that this chosen group could only enter a low-level battlefield.
Nirvana was a special realm. In order to break through, one must experience death and rebirth. That’s why in order to expedite this process, nothing was better than to fight serious battles and stimulate one’s inner potential. The Myriad-race Battlefield was a great provider.
Thus, the weakest ones chosen were at the ninth level. The hope was that they would get to Nirvana.
