I was reborn as the villain

Chen Zhimo had already discussed with Chen Xiaotong that Chen Xiaotong and Chang Ruchu would go to the Outer Domain Sword Heaven. The experience on the road would make them stronger. After arriving at the Outer Domain Sword Heaven, Chen Xiaotong would arrange a special teleportation array according to Chen Zhimo's requirements, and then they would wait for Chen Zhimo's arrival in the Outer Domain Sword Heaven before taking action together.

The ruins of the Mangwang battlefield and the Outer Domain Sword Heaven are both areas that have existed since ancient times, but the Outer Domain Sword Heaven is more mysterious and hard to find. It is said that the Outer Domain Sword Heaven is a realm of sword intent condensed after a ray of piercing sword intent broke through the void, and then the passage to the mysterious world was opened, and infinite sword intent descended into this realm. After countless years of scouring and expansion by the sword intent, it finally formed a stable Outer Domain Sword Heaven.

The Outer Sword Heaven exists only in legends, and there are very few people who can find and enter it. However, many cultivators who are looking for the Outer Sword Heaven have been to the Outer Sword Field, but have never been able to enter the Outer Sword Heaven.

What they didn't know was that the Outer Domain Sword Field and the Outer Domain Sword Heaven were not the same place at all. All previous guidance had pointed cultivators to the Outer Domain Sword Field, which was why it was always difficult for anyone to discover the existence of the Outer Domain Sword Heaven.

The Outer Domain Sword Field is formed by the void condensation of the Outer Domain Sword Heaven's sword intent. Its existence is not unique. The two are no longer in the same place but have some void connection. Only those with the peak sword intent can penetrate the mystery, and then reversely deduce the true location of the Outer Domain Sword Heaven through the void transmission of the sword intent.

Even if one could successfully reach the Outer Sword Heaven, one would only have reached the periphery of the Outer Sword Heaven. If one wanted to go deeper into it, one would need a great opportunity.

Even though he was as strong as Cheng Xiao, he only came to the central area of ​​the outer sword world with the blessing of a great opportunity, but he was still unable to find the location of the Wuji Sword Formation.

At the beginning, Cheng Xiao did not go to the Outer Domain Sword Field under the guidance of the Divine Shadow of the Mysterious Book of Heaven and Earth, but directly found the Outer Domain Sword Heaven. This time, Chen Zhimo arranged for Chen Xiaotong and Chang Ruchu to go to the Outer Domain Sword Field first. The purpose was to better hone the two of them and also to free up some time to wait for himself.

As for the ruins of the Mangwang battlefield, legend has it that a great and fierce battle broke out here among the ancient powers, and in the end both sides perished without a single survivor.

The Mangwang battlefield was turned into a forbidden place after being washed away by various prohibitions, forbidden techniques and powerful energies. It was shrouded by an invisible force. The violent energy within it filled the world and was full of murderous intent.

Many ancient powerful men died here, leaving behind many treasures and opportunities, which attracted later generations to flock to it. They ignored the murderous intent and went there to grab the treasures and seek opportunities.

At that time, there were still many prohibitions, seals, sorcery, killing arrays, puppets, etc. left in the Mangwang battlefield, which made those who went there to hunt for treasure feel full of murderous intent. Countless people died, but it still could not stop the treasure hunters.

The various broken forbidden spell patterns at the Mangwang battlefield ruins slowly merged over the long years, forming a special and strange mysterious pattern, making this place even more ferocious.

It was originally a blood-stained place. After being covered by the mysterious pattern, it began to extract the bodies and souls of the immortal cultivators who died here to maintain the energy circulation of this place, making this place even more sinister and terrifying, and many strange creatures began to be born.

But the treasures still attracted many powerful people. After many years, all the valuable treasures in the Mangwang battlefield ruins were looted one after another.

From that time on, those who entered the Mangwang battlefield ruins in search of treasure or fortune either died there or returned empty-handed. The risk and reward were no longer proportional, and gradually no one entered this place anymore.

Hundreds and thousands of years passed like this. If Chen Zhimo hadn't mentioned this place, Ge Yunbo would have almost forgotten the existence of such a place.

After long years of accumulation, the ruins of the Mangwang battlefield have been filled with bloody and evil aura. In the beginning, some sects would occasionally use this place as a trial site for their disciples, but it was always a bit useless and was gradually forgotten.

It is not entirely true to say that there are no treasures at all in the Mangwang Battlefield ruins. It's just that they are extremely difficult to find, or there are only some broken and useless things left. If you really risk your life looking for them, it would be a waste of time.

The mysterious seal of the Mangwang Battlefield Ruins has become stronger year by year. Later on, it required a powerful person to break the entrance with great effort before entering. Even fewer people would set their sights on the Mangwang Battlefield Ruins.

Chen Zhimo was determined to enter the Mangwang battlefield ruins this time because he knew that there was a treasure that had been mistakenly believed to be abandoned and was still there. He wanted to take out this treasure to help with subsequent actions.

Seeing that Ge Yunbo didn't say anything, Chen Zhimo called out carefully, "Ge Daozun?"

Ge Yunbo came back to his senses, glanced at Chen Zhimo, and sighed helplessly, "Well, since you are determined to leave, I can't stop you. But the journey is long, and I don't know when I can return. Let me report to the two brothers."

Chen Zhimo nodded and said, "Thank you, Daozun Ge."

After that, Ge Yunbo left, but Chen Zhimo was not in a hurry to leave Yinhe Kongyun Mountain. Instead, he went into seclusion in Chen Xiaotong's place of meditation for a few days.

In the past few days, he has been studying formation patterns, using formation patterns to replace formation plates, formation symbols, and formation flags. He can quickly activate formations and can also have multiple changes. It is not suitable for large-scale formations, but it is very suitable for individuals, especially cultivators like Chen Zhimo who have no cultivation.

Chen Xiaotong used this time to subdue the Wind Pattern Demon Furnace. She was already able to use the Wind Pattern Demon Furnace slightly, but she had not yet reached the point of signing a blood contract.

Regarding the art of formation patterns, Chen Zhimo and Qian Sanhao had also produced some research results in the past, but Chen Zhimo almost always traveled with Chen Xiaotong in the past. Chen Zhimo was more inclined to use Chen Xiaotong's Hongyuan to exert his combat power. This time he was going to the Mangwang battlefield ruins alone, so he had to make more preparations, and the formation patterns would come in handy.

Based on his previous research, Chen Zhimo perfected the use of array patterns, making them a major reliance of his. However, this killing move that can unleash the power of the formation using only array patterns still requires more study and improvement.

If we can really make a breakthrough in the art of formations and form a new and complete set of formation concepts, it will not only elevate the art of formations to a higher level, but can also be used when we return to the Earth world one day in the future. That way, more ordinary humans can rely on the power of formations to compete with the Zhiyuan people.

In fact, in the Divine Shadow of the Mysterious Book of Heaven and Earth, Chen Zhimo had a certain understanding of formation patterns. In other worlds and in the ancient times of Linghai, there were glorious moments of formation patterns. At that time, the powerful formation masters could kill enemies across levels just by relying on the blessing of formation patterns. There were also more advanced formation patterns that had the power to move mountains and fill the sea, the momentum to destroy the world, and the power to kill and seal.
