Chapter 79 Entering the Forbidden Zone of Life!
Chapter 79 Entering the Forbidden Zone of Life!
"Uh..." Shen Yun coughed after speaking, seemingly realizing that his words had been too direct.
"Cough cough, Xian'er, believe me, I'm not that kind of person!"
【Master~...Brother Yun, I'm going to cultivate now. (Cute)】
'I'm glad you didn't misunderstand me, what a scare...' Shen Yun looked at Bai Xian'er, who was rolling around in the space with her tail wrapped around herself like a ball, and really wanted to give her a good pat!
So cute!
"Hmm? Only three demon beast cores left?" Seeing that there were only three fourth-tier cores left in the space, Shen Yun checked her cultivation details:
[Current Realm: Second Level of Vast Ocean Realm / Early Stage of Fourth Order]
With the life-protecting divine spell of the Great Demon Emperor, Bai Xian'er's cultivation progressed with ease. She hadn't yet consumed the eighth-tier Heaven and Earth Spirit Vine; once she did, her cultivation would likely see a significant boost.
"Check the information on the demons and prepare some crystal cores for her..." Shen Yun opened the [Demon App] to check the information on fourth-tier demon beasts and found that they had all been received by the people from the Demon Suppression Division:
"It seems that their strength has increased considerably since the secret realm opened..."
On his way here, he overheard the powerful members of the Demon Suppression Division leading their teams through dungeons to improve their overall strength.
As the secret realms in various regions are opened, the overall strength of the population will experience a qualitative leap!
"Unfortunately, there are only five suspected fifth-tier evil spirits in the entire country, and they've all been claimed..." The distance was too far, and Shen Yun had no interest in traveling. Besides, the next game update would be starting soon!
At that time, fourth- to fifth-tier demonic beasts will descend upon the mountains, and the cultivator secondary profession system will be updated, including settings such as alchemy, weapon forging, talisman making, and array formation.
During this period, the discovery of spirit stone veins marked the beginning of a period of vigorous growth for cultivators worldwide.
Of course, it's also possible that someone realized there were spiritual veins underground and started exploring them long ago, and it just so happens that they were recently exposed.
After closing the app, Shen Yun switched to the game to take a look.
Luo Hongxi is still being teleported. She doesn't know if there's something wrong with the teleportation array, because it's been so long and she hasn't reached her destination yet. Fortunately, the coffin is sturdy and there's no danger.
Ling Qingxue has already left the Ten Thousand Mountains and is heading to the Eastern Region's Forbidden Zone of Life to cross the Soul Sea in search of information related to her origins.
In the chibi-style illustration, a girl sits aboard a flying boat, her brows slightly furrowed as she wanders into the heavens, seemingly contemplating the unknown road ahead.
"The Soul Crossing Sea is no good place. If Qingxue goes there, it might trigger a wave of recharge notifications!" Shen Yun, lying on the bed, secretly looked forward to it.
He's just over 1.6 million short of reaching VIP level 3, and he might achieve it today...
……
Crossing the Soul Coast.
As a forbidden zone on the eastern border that no one ever sets foot in, many sect cultivators have gathered here today.
When Ling Qingxue's flying boat arrived, it was immediately stopped by two cultivators dressed in purple robes. However, upon seeing that she was wearing the attire of a core disciple of Yaochi, the leading man's eyes twitched, and he cupped his hands and smiled:
"What brings you here, fellow Daoist Yaochi?"
Although Yaochi is a neutral force, it possesses extremely strong resources and is a top-tier power in the Eastern Region. They would have driven away any other force directly.
"Entering the forbidden area." Ling Qingxue observed their attire and realized they were disciples of the Eastern Region's Heavenly Abyss Holy Land: 'No one gets up early without a reason! They're here; they've probably discovered something…'
'Entered the forbidden zone? Could it be that she obtained more detailed information?!' As the man hesitated whether to return and report, the voice of the sect elder echoed in his mind:
"Let her come over. Yaochi may have discovered a rare treasure here. Just tell her directly, implying that we are interested in cooperating."
"Yes, Elder!" the man said with a cupped hand and a smile to Ling Qingxue.
"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, there have been strange phenomena here recently! Some time ago, we even heard that someone received longevity incense from the sea. That's why we've set up a curfew here. We didn't mean to stop you, so please don't take offense."
"I see. Let me take a look." Ling Qingxue was not interested in the so-called longevity incense; her interest lay in the Eye of the Dead Sea marked on the stone tablet, which was her destination.
After landing, she observed her surroundings. Besides the people from Tianyuan Holy Land, there were also more than a dozen people from super and top-tier forces.
At this moment, an elder from the Heavenly Abyss Holy Land approached: "Young friend, you are well aware of the dangers of crossing the Soul Sea. If one remains immersed in the sea for an extended period, their spirit and intelligence will regress to that of a child in their teens. In severe cases, they may even revert to the age of a three- to five-year-old toddler. It is extremely perilous! How about we cooperate?"
This is the forbidden zone effect of the Soul Crossing Sea: Intelligence Degradation!
Ling Qingxue clasped her hands in a fist and said, "I will do as you say, senior."
With the young master around, she could say she had nothing to fear!
Although the old sage in plain clothes did not support her coming to take the risk, she was determined and was hiding in the shadows, not afraid of being ambushed by outsiders.
“Alright! We’ll send people in later. We can help each other and cooperate then.” Elder Tianyuan nodded.
"It's all up to Senior's arrangement." Ling Qingxue looked at the thirteen men and women who had been driven to the beach by the cultivators not far away. Just by looking at their fearful and nervous expressions, it was clear that they had all been forced to be chosen.
Such things are common in the cultivation world. She was fortunate enough to experience it herself back then, becoming a sacrificial array performer. Fortunately, her physique was strong enough that she didn't become a sacrificial soul.
As for cooperation, forget it; she doesn't have time to waste with this group of people.
Turning her gaze away, Ling Qingxue stared intently at the deathly gray Sea of Souls before her.
'That ancient stone tablet in the underground river has probably existed for countless years. I'm only twenty; the time difference is too great…'
Could it be that she was nurtured in her mother's womb for hundreds of thousands of years before being born?
After raising her for so long, how could I possibly abandon her as soon as she was born?
Her grandmother said that when she was found, she looked less than a month old, so the timeline didn't match up.
Unless she was born of heaven and earth, she would naturally have no father or mother after awakening.
So Ling Qingxue wanted to come here and see what was going on!
Half an incense stick later.
Seeing that they were starting to mobilize, Ling Qingxue jumped into the Soul Crossing Sea first.
"What are you all standing there for?! The disciples of Yaochi have already jumped! Are your lives more precious than hers?!" A shout rang out.
"You've reached the limit of your idiocy! Just come back quickly! Everyone, get out!!"
Left with no other choice, the twelve men and women jumped into the sea one after another.
"Elder Xu, do you think this Yaochi disciple knows something inside?"
"Yes! And it's suspicious that she came alone." The elders from various factions gathered around Elder Xu of the Tianyuan Holy Land.
They only recently received the news and rushed over immediately, hoping to harvest the supreme treasure, Longevity Incense, which could extend the lifespan of even their ancestor.
The actions of this Yaochi disciple, who went alone and risked his life, are highly suspicious!
Xu Qing shook his head: "Who knows? Do you think you can stop her and ask her for an explanation?"
If there is only one faction present, no one will know if they will make a move.
With so many people watching, if we dare to touch a Yaochi disciple, there's no guarantee that Lao Liu won't go to Yaochi to report us...
……
In the sea.
Ling Qingxue increased her speed to the extreme, and the divine light of the Nine Heavens Sacred Body Dao Embryo appeared and disappeared on her body.
The "intelligence reduction" effect of the Soul Crossing Sea had no effect on her.
This is the domineering aspect of the Nine Heavens Sacred Body Dao Embryo: it can ward off all evil and magic in the world!
The Eye of the Dead Sea is the central location of the Sea of Souls, rumored to devour all things. Creatures whose intelligence has been diminished and who have lost their way enter it and never emerge again.
After a long while.
Ling Qingxue noticed the surrounding water currents gradually strengthening: 'The Eye of the Dead Sea is just ahead…'
With the final step in mind and everything uncertain, her expression gradually became serious and tense.
'Young master, are you there?'
The words had barely left his lips when this forbidden zone, which could block the detection of the divine soul, could not obstruct the young master's gaze.
The familiar gaze fell upon her, instantly dispelling the unease in Ling Qingxue's heart!
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
The gentle voice seemed to possess boundless power, flowing into her body!
"Hmm!" Ling Qingxue smiled knowingly, then flashed forward and disappeared into the Eye of the Dead Sea.
