YM778.TV Chapter 98 - 93: The Terrifying Forbidden Land_1
Xuantian Realm.
In recent times, prosperity flourished throughout the lands.
The blood of the Ten Great Profound Immortals nourished this land.
In the air, spiritual energy surged violently, almost giving birth to Immortal Spirit Qi.
All major powers’ Sect Gates saw their strength skyrocket.
Especially in the Southern Territory.
“We have become immortals!”
In Taiyan Holy Land, both Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were extremely excited!
Baptized by the blood rain of the Ten Great Profound Immortals, they had finally taken a step further.
“We have finally glimpsed the Immortal Path, and perhaps in the near future, we might become immortals…”
Saint Teacher Kongming muttered to himself, emerging from meditation, his entire demeanor more extraordinary than ever.
At this moment.
In a small village in the Southern Territory.
Life had been quite pleasant during this period.
Li Fan taught Xinning to read every day, or he taught his disciples to do chores.
The rapid growth of Nan Feng and Zi Ling greatly inspired Lu Rang and the others.
“One… one is the Sword, it is everything, it is heaven, it is earth, it is all things!” Dugu Yuqing was in a profound state of enlightenment, comprehending the Way.
In his mind, there was only Li Fan’s “Heaven Opening Sword” from the other day!
That unstoppable momentum, that invincible presence…
That peerless elegance, a Sword that opens the heavens…
Suddenly, he closed his eyes.
At this moment, his heart was free from distractions!
The tip of his brush touched the paper.
As the brush moved, it was like the Sword Qi was bursting forth, extremely sharp!
At this moment, his aura changed dramatically!
He became an immortal!
When his brush stopped, he was overjoyed!
He… had comprehended the Sword of the Immortal Path!
“Haha, hahaha—”
He was ecstatic!
He almost wanted to shout, “I have become an immortal!”
But, just at that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the vegetable patch nearby!
He turned to look, only to see that Lu Rang had somehow condensed a hoe of the Dao itself in his hands!
Lu Rang’s body had also become incredibly strong.
That was… the aura of the Immortal Path!
Lu Rang had made a breakthrough too…
Lu Rang was also overjoyed, immediately walking towards Long Zixuan and said, “Haha, Zi Xuan, I’ve become an immortal… What about you?”
He reached out to pat Long Zixuan’s shoulder!
But the next moment, a Dragon Soul appeared on Long Zixuan’s body, the overbearing dragon Qi turned into a shield, and actually repelled the newly ascended Lu Rang, sending him flying backwards!
This scene astonished everyone.
“Little Dragon Brother sits and watches the fish, approaching the Profound Immortal realm!”
Nan Feng nodded; Long Zixuan had great understanding and gained a unique opportunity from that pond.
The flying Lu Rang exclaimed as he was about to crash into the ground when suddenly, a gentle force from behind supported him, allowing him to steady himself, only to see that it was Qing Chen who was sweeping the floor.
Qing Chen held him up with one hand, now smiling slightly.
Lu Rang clearly noticed that Qing Chen’s seemingly calm demeanor… was actually able to easily withstand the backlash of Long Zixuan’s dragon Qi? “You… you’re also close to becoming a Profound Immortal?”
He was dumbfounded.
Damn it all…
What was this situation…
He had just become an immortal, and now, some had already become Profound Immortals or were about to cross that threshold…
It was a huge blow.
Dugu Yuqing, seeing this scene, also felt life was too miserable.
“Brother, don’t cry, the two of us are academic dregs…”
Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were close to bursting into tears holding their heads.
“Meow meow…”
Just then, a white cat with unimaginably swift speed ran past them and jumped into Li Fan’s arms.
“Even this cat… has become an immortal… and is stronger than us?”
Lu Rang’s face looked even worse!
Humans are not as good as cats…
Elsewhere, Li Fan was oblivious, and after Xiao Bai ran into his arms, he smiled and stroked it, then continued to point to the poem on the paper and read:
“In spring one sleeps, unaware of dawn,”
Xinning, focused and earnest: “In spring one sleeps, unaware of dawn…”
The courtyard was filled with the sound of reading.
On the side, the small sapling that Li Fan had planted a few days ago was now thriving robustly.
What was previously half a meter tall had almost reached one meter and began to develop swollen spores…
At that moment.
At the core of the Xuantian Realm.
The scalding underground magma lay like a quiet, dormant dark river!
Countless amounts of blood continuously drained into the earth, pouring into it.
That was the blood of the Profound Immortals that Xuantian Realm had received!
The blood had been pouring into this scalding magma for an entire month.
Now, today.
Suddenly, as if something within the magma leapt.
“Thump!”
It was like the beat of a heart!
With that heartbeat, the magma suddenly surged, spreading out like waves!
At this moment.
In the midst of a chaotic void stream.
This was the Chaotic Stream Sea between the countless fissures of the Lower Worlds.
If the boundless space were an ocean, then each Lower World would be an island within this ocean.
They could be separated by tens of thousands of miles from each other.
In the chaotic void stream, dangers were unpredictable, with all sorts of horrors occurring.
Yet, there also existed some pathways, linking different worlds together.
For the Immortal Domain to enter the Lower World was extremely difficult, requiring a great cost. But in contrast, between Lower Worlds, one only needed to cross the Chaotic Stream Sea to pass through the realm barriers more easily.
And this streak of flowing light was indeed stepping across a thousand miles in one stride as if manipulating space.
Soon, he stopped outside a world shrouded in a haze of white mist.
“This is the coordinate for the Xuantian Realm.”
Sangduo glanced at the world in front of him, knowing that within the white mist lay the realm barrier. Crossing it, he would appear in this particular world!
He took one step forward.
The next instant, a vast land appeared before his eyes!
The sky was clear, with no cloud across ten thousand miles, and the land teemed with vitality.
“Eh? I just came over like this?”
Sangduo was taken aback!
Logically, the Xuantian Realm was merely a “Mysterious Character Realm,” with Profound Immortals as the upper limit!
He, being of Heavenly Immortal level cultivation, should have found it very difficult to pass through the realm barrier; he had even prepared to suppress his cultivation level.
But he had not expected it to be this easy…
“It seems the intelligence was wrong. The spatial rank of Xuantian Realm is not just at the Profound Immortal level; it’s at least at the Heavenly Immortal level!”
Only then could it be explained.
With that thought, his heart sank slightly.
His divine consciousness swept out and quickly found a small sect gate on this vast land; he arrived in the blink of an eye.
Before long, he had figured out the situation of the Xuantian Realm.
“The one who killed the Ten Great Profound Immortals is in the Southern Territory!”
He stepped forward.
The next moment, he was already in the Southern Territory!
“The spiritual energy of this land is so abundant that it’s about to produce Immortal Spirit Qi? Is it going to grow from a Mysterious Character Realm to an Earth Character Realm?”
He was astonished.
A world could grow or decline slowly over time.
Now he understood why he could pass through the realm barrier so easily. This realm was now capable of accommodating Heavenly Immortals… but the rate of its growth was too fast, wasn’t it?
Acting on the information he had gathered, he made his way straight to the Cangli Mountain Range.
In no time at all, he reached the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range.
“Hmm? This mountain range… why do I feel it’s extraordinary? As if it’s hiding something…”
Hovering in the sky, Sangduo gazed at the land below with trepidation and doubt.
Could it really be hiding something from the First Heavenly Realm?
His eyes swept across the land, and the next moment, they suddenly narrowed!
He saw a small mountain village on the outskirts of the mountain range.
“Heavenly, what is that place?”
“Just one glance, and my heart leaps with fear, as if it were a forbidden area?!”
He was shocked!
Such a feeling only occurred in the Immortal Domain when facing certain forbidden areas!
But this was a Lower World!
How could this be possible…
No, I must take a look!
This might very well involve some earth-shattering secret!
While afraid, he moved towards the village, finally approaching the outskirts of the small mountain village.
The unease in his heart grew stronger; it felt like he was nearing an area of tremendous danger.
Walking on the ground, he even felt as though he was shouldering a mountain.
The closer he got to that small mountain village, the more intense this sensation became!
“This must be a forbidden area, it must be… Only a forbidden area would possess such prohibitive force, felt more keenly by those with higher cultivation!”
He was shaken, wiping sweat from his brow, now at the entrance to the village!
He could faintly sense the terrifying, overwhelming aura within the village!
Should he go any further?
He dared not!
“This is truly a forbidden land… Could it be the practice ground or burial site of an Immortal Monarch?!”
He trembled!
Forbidden lands, as the legends say, are connected with ominous Immortal Monarchs!
Each one was extremely terrifying.
To think that such a place was hidden within this Lower World…
And they just happened to encounter it?
“Who are you? What are you loitering here for?”
At that moment, Elder Zhao suddenly appeared at the entrance to the village, leaning on a walking stick, furrowing his brow at Sangduo.
Startled by the question, Sangduo focused his gaze.
An ordinary-looking old man, leaning on a walking stick.
But…
The terrifying aura came from that walking stick!
Done for, a being from within the forbidden land?!
In an instant, Sangduo was terrified, his heart and gall quaking. He turned and fled without hesitation!
—It must be known that forbidden lands are mostly silent and dormant, but if a being emerges from within a forbidden land, it signifies a terrifying blood calamity and disaster!
How could he not be afraid???
