I cultivate the Chaos Technique

A sliver of light finally appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, yet the battlefield was still shrouded in an inescapable stench of blood. After a series of fierce battles, the ambitions of the Heavenly Revelation Sect were finally shattered, and the anti-Heavenly Revelation Sect alliance emerged victorious. However, the price of victory was devastating; the battlefield was littered with severed limbs and remains, and the ravages of spiritual energy had shattered the earth, as if a cataclysmic catastrophe had taken place.

Standing atop the battlefield, Zhang Yifan surveyed the devastation surrounding him. His emotions were complex; victory brought not only joy, but also a heavy sense of responsibility and utter exhaustion. They had won this battle, but the sacrifices and costs were immeasurable.

Lin Qingzhu, Hu Yiman, and Fang Xue beside him also wore solemn expressions. Although they had all experienced countless life-or-death battles, the ferocity of this battle still exceeded their expectations. An indescribable somber atmosphere hung over the battlefield, as if the shouts and anguish of both sides still lingered in the air.

"It's finally over..." Zhang Yifan whispered, his voice tinged with exhaustion.

Huiman approached him, her expression complex, and said softly, "Yes, it's over... but we've lost too many fellow disciples."

Lin Qingzhu nodded, her gaze sweeping over the fallen cultivators' corpses, her voice filled with sorrow: "These people... they shouldn't have died here. The Heavenly Revelation Sect's conspiracy was ultimately to satisfy their own greed."

Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions for the time being. He knew that now was not the time to wallow in grief; the battle was over, and there was still much to be done.

"Fang Xue, Qing Zhu, let's clean up the battlefield first and check if the Tianqi Sect has left any potential threats." Zhang Yifan's tone was decisive. As one of the key commanders in this battle, he had to regain his composure as soon as possible.

Fang Xue nodded, then waved for the disciples of the Tiangang Sect to begin searching for any remaining enemies on the battlefield. Lin Qingzhu led the disciples of the Xuanbing Valley to set up an ice-sealing formation on the battlefield to ensure that no enemy could use the residual spiritual power of the corpses to pull off any tricks.

At the same time, Zhang Yifan, accompanied by several disciples of the Lingyun Sword Sect, personally inspected the battlefield. His gaze swept over the fallen Tianqi Sect cultivators, and a thought suddenly struck him.

These Tianqi Sect cultivators were mostly core disciples, and they would inevitably carry a large amount of cultivation resources, especially storage bags. In the cultivation world, storage bags are an important tool for every cultivator, often containing magical artifacts, pills, spirit stones, and other supplies needed for cultivation. The Tianqi Sect must have used a great deal of resources to plan the great battle in the secret realm. If these storage bags could be collected, it would not only replenish their losses from this battle but also significantly aid Zhang Yifan's personal cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yifan immediately began searching the battlefield for storage bags. His divine sense quickly expanded, locking onto the corpses of several Tianqi Sect cultivators, who all had storage bags hanging from their waists. He collected these storage bags without hesitation.

Although the storage bags were small, their internal space was often extremely spacious. Zhang Yifan probed them with his divine sense and immediately discovered that these storage bags indeed contained a large amount of resources. There were spirit stones, pills, magic tools, and even some precious spiritual herbs and refining materials.

Inside one of the larger storage bags, Zhang Yifan even discovered an ancient book with the words "Heavenly Revelation Secret Records" faintly visible on the cover. This piqued his interest greatly, as the Heavenly Revelation Sect was renowned for its secret techniques, and this book likely recorded their secret methods or some valuable cultivation insights.

Zhang Yifan carefully put the book away, deciding to study it carefully at a safer time later. Right now, the most important thing was to continue gathering resources and confirm the safety of the battlefield.

As the search deepened, Zhang Yifan's gains increased. He not only found a large quantity of spirit stones and pills, but also several high-quality magical artifacts, some of which were even superior to his own existing equipment. He secretly rejoiced at the success of this operation, which not only weakened the Heavenly Revelation Sect's power but also unexpectedly yielded so many cultivation resources.

Beside the corpse of a cultivator, Zhang Yifan unexpectedly discovered a short sword emitting a faint spiritual light. The short sword had an unusual shape, mysterious runes engraved on its blade, and exuded an ancient aura. Holding the short sword in his hand, he sensed the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations contained within it.

"This sword... is it an ancient artifact?" Zhang Yifan was secretly astonished.

Ancient magical artifacts are extremely rare, especially combat artifacts, which are often incredibly powerful. After observing it carefully for a while, he concluded that this short sword must have been the personal possession of a cultivator from the Heavenly Revelation Sect. Now that it was in his hands, if he could successfully refine it, it would surely become a powerful weapon in battle.

Sheathing his short sword, Zhang Yifan continued surveying the battlefield, collecting scattered storage bags and cultivator equipment. Although a sense of heaviness lingered in his heart, these gains made him acutely aware that the cruelty of the cultivation world lay not only in battle but also in the struggle for resources. Each battle brought an opportunity for the redistribution of resources, and the survival and strength of cultivators were often built upon this foundation.

The cleanup of the battlefield lasted for several hours, and as time passed, the sky in the secret realm gradually darkened. Zhang Yifan returned to the alliance camp with the resources he had plundered.

Inside the camp, the cultivators were busy repairing the formations and setting up defenses. Although the battle was over, the situation remained tense, and no one dared to let their guard down. Although the Heavenly Revelation Sect had been defeated, their remaining forces might still seize the opportunity to strike, and no one knew what would happen next.

Zhang Yifan entered the alliance's command tent, where General Fei Hong, Lin Qingzhu, Hu Yiman, and others were discussing the upcoming strategic deployment. Upon seeing Zhang Yifan's return, General Fei Hong nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down.

"How is the battlefield cleanup going?" General Fei Hong asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yifan nodded and replied, "Most of the enemies have been eliminated, and the main force of the Tianqi Sect has been completely destroyed. However, we have also discovered some scattered remnants who seem to be trying to hide in certain areas of the secret realm, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

Upon hearing this, General Fei Hong's expression did not relax, but became even more solemn: "As expected, the people of the Tianqi Sect have always been treacherous and cunning. Although they were scattered this time, we cannot let our guard down. They may very well take advantage of the special environment in the secret realm to make a comeback."

"General, should we continue to send out reconnaissance teams to completely wipe out those remaining forces?" Huiman suggested in a deep voice, her tone full of vigilance.

General Fei Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Although the remaining forces of the Tianqi Sect are dangerous, they are not worth sending troops to encircle and annihilate them on a large scale. Our disciples have already suffered heavy losses in this battle, and continuing to fight head-on will only result in more losses than gains."

Zhang Yifan nodded in agreement: "The general is right. We need to conserve our strength, as there may be more challenges ahead."

Lin Qingzhu pondered, "Although the Tianqi Sect has been defeated, we must guard against their forces outside the secret realm. The battle in the secret realm has come to a temporary end, but the situation outside may already be turbulent."

General Fei Hong's gaze was cold and stern as he looked at the cultivators in the camp and slowly said, "The Tianqi Sect has lost a large number of elites in this battle, and their strength outside the secret realm will inevitably be impacted. However, we cannot be complacent. Our next step is to stabilize the situation in the secret realm as soon as possible, ensure the allocation of resources, and then quickly integrate the forces of all factions."

Zhang Yifan, Lin Qingzhu, and Hu Yiman all nodded, understanding General Fei Hong's concerns. Although the Tianqi Sect had temporarily retreated, the situation in the cultivation world was always constantly changing. Going forward, the anti-Tianqi Sect alliance must unite to deal with more unknown threats.

With the discussion concluded, Zhang Yifan returned to his temporary residence with the storage bags he had collected. He sat down at the table and began to examine the items in each bag. Each bag was incredibly rich in resources, containing spirit stones, pills, magical artifacts, and even some extremely rare spiritual herbs and ancient refining materials.

Zhang Yifan thought to himself with a sense of relief. This battle not only greatly improved his personal cultivation, but also unexpectedly brought him so many cultivation resources, making his future cultivation path much smoother.

He carefully categorized and stored the precious spiritual herbs and elixirs, especially several rare magical artifacts, which he meticulously refined so that they could be used in future battles.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the "Heavenly Revelation Secret Record". Zhang Yifan took out the ancient book from his storage bag and carefully examined the writing on the cover. The secret record looked extremely old, and the cover faintly exuded a strange aura, seemingly having a great connection with the secret techniques of the Heavenly Revelation Sect.

Zhang Yifan probed the book with his divine sense and discovered that it indeed contained some secret techniques and cultivation insights from the Heavenly Revelation Sect. Although these techniques were unorthodox, many of the formations and spells they contained were extremely sophisticated. He secretly decided to keep this book for reference, hoping to learn some techniques for dealing with the Heavenly Revelation Sect.

Time passed slowly, and although the smoke from the battlefield had dissipated, Zhang Yifan knew that the aftermath of this battle was not completely over. The struggles in the cultivation world are never-ending, and behind every victory often lie new challenges and crises.
