Entering the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area

At this moment, the several Imperial Guards present, along with their commander, still wore expressions of disbelief.

That was the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, a terrifying forbidden ground that had existed for countless millennia.

Even supreme Emperor Rank experts were unable to enter.

For over ten thousand years, countless powerhouses had researched how to enter, all ending in failure.

But now, carrying a ladder, they just went in?

Was it really that simple?

Jin Li's voice was cold: "This matter must not be spread!"

"We are willing to vouch with our lives that this matter will definitely not be leaked to a second person!" The Imperial Guards present all knew the importance of the matter.

The Imperial Guard commander's face was flushed with excitement: "This is heaven's blessing for our Empress!

Once we master the method to enter the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, using human lives to go inside, we will definitely be able to gather many spiritual medicines from the periphery!"

The Xuanyuan Forbidden Area had not been entered by living beings for at least ten thousand years, so there must be an abundance of spiritual medicines within.

With their current strength, it was still difficult to explore the depths of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.

But there were definitely many spiritual medicines in the periphery, and fewer ferocious beasts.

As the Imperial Guard commander spoke, she wanted to carry the ladder and go straight in.

Because, just in the periphery, she had already seen several extremely precious spiritual medicines.

Jin Li's expression was indifferent, making it impossible to see the excitement in her heart.

She also had a ladder next to her, but she had not yet carried it, as she needed to continue verifying.

"Don't act rashly for now, let's observe further."

Those few death row prisoners were all extremely vicious individuals.

At this moment, the three of them carried ladders and entered the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.

Their faces showed shock, as well as fear.

One of the men saw a spiritual medicine, and a greedy look appeared on his face.

He immediately plucked it and stuffed the spiritual medicine into his stomach.

Outside, there were powerful Imperial Guards.

Eating spiritual medicine was the only chance to survive.

As for escaping?

Their current speed was about the same as ordinary people.

With those Imperial Guards watching behind them, how could they escape?

Eating the spiritual medicine was the only chance they had to survive.

The Imperial Guard commander was extremely anxious when she saw the death row prisoners eating the spiritual medicines.

Those spiritual medicines, even she was reluctant to consume.

Yet, they were being devoured by several death row inmates!

Empress Jin Li remained calm, without a word, staring into the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.

Seeing this, the Forbidden Army Commander could only stay put, though inwardly, she felt an unbearable heartache.

This was more painful than having three taels of flesh cut from her chest.

Just then, Empress Jin Li's pupils constricted slightly.

The Forbidden Army present also sensed something and became vigilant.

A roar echoed as a Green Eyed White Fur Giant Bug, a full ten zhang tall, appeared.

With each step, trees snapped and splintered, sending wood chips flying.

The giant bug was only a few hundred meters away from the three prisoners.

For such a ferocious beast, a few hundred meters was only a matter of a few breaths.

"Azure Gang Tiger!" The Forbidden Army Commander's expression turned grave. "A Demon King Rank terrifying beast!"

She was a King Rank expert, the same level as the Azure Gang Tiger before her.

But in a real fight, she would be no match for this Azure Gang Tiger.

The Azure Gang Tiger was inherently bloodthirsty, and the three prisoners were doomed.

Now that the Azure Gang Tiger had appeared, they couldn't enter the periphery of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, or a collision would be inevitable.

Upon discovering the Azure Gang Tiger, two of the prisoners immediately dropped the ladder and fled frantically.

One, however, was so frightened that his legs went weak, clinging to the ladder, unable to move at all.

"Roar!"

The Azure Gang Tiger roared, and a blast of gang energy shot from its mouth, heading straight for the two fleeing prisoners.

The prisoners' bodies stiffened, and they fell, their bodies torn to pieces, a bloody mess.

The remaining one, paralyzed on the ground, clutching the ladder, was so scared that yellow liquid leaked from his crotch.

The Azure Gang Tiger glanced at the last prisoner, a strange look flashing in its eyes, as if pondering, as if in awe.

Then, the Azure Gang Tiger simply left.

The Forbidden Army Commander was stunned.

So were the rest of the Forbidden Army.

Why did the Azure Gang Tiger leave?

Wasn't it inherently bloodthirsty?

Wouldn't humans entering provoke its attack?

A complicated look flashed in Empress Jin Li's eyes.

Carrying a ladder allows one to enter the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area unhindered.

Qi Yuan didn't lie to her.

What Qi Yuan said was true.

Qi Yuan... who exactly are you?

Jin Li felt somewhat lost, and a sense of inferiority arose in her heart.

However, she quickly cast aside this emotion: "Everyone, carry your ladders and follow me in.

Remember, even if you encounter terrifying beasts, you must not let go of your ladders, understand?"

"Understood!"

Several Imperial Guards responded.

The Imperial Guard Commander then advised, "Your Majesty's status is so noble, how can you put yourself in such a dangerous place? Let us go in while Your Majesty waits here."

The Empress Jin Li thought of Qi Yuan.

If she didn't go in, she would be letting down Qi Yuan's trust.

"It's alright, I will go in with you," Empress Jin Li said, her words brooking no argument.

The group of several people, carrying ladders, entered the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.

The surviving prisoner was also dealt with along the way.

"So many spiritual medicines!"

"This is Three Flower Fragrance!"

"Mystic Desire Grass!"

"Green Fruit!"

The Imperial Guards who entered the outer reaches of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area were extremely excited.

Because there were simply too many spiritual medicines here.

For over ten thousand years, no one had entered.

The abundance of spiritual medicines here was imaginable.

Unlike other forbidden areas, the spiritual medicines in the outer areas had long been picked by experts.

As for the depths, even experts dared not enter.

And now, they were harvesting in the outer reaches of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, and it could be said that their harvest was very bountiful.

"In just one hour, we have already harvested twenty-three King Grade Spiritual Medicines," Jin Li couldn't help but sigh.

King Grade Spiritual Medicines, even for Jin Li, the Empress of the Nanqian Kingdom, she had only consumed less than ten from childhood to adulthood.

And here, in just a short while, they had collected twenty-three.

As for spiritual medicines of other grades, there were even more.

It could be said that the value of the harvest in just this short time exceeds the kingdom's annual revenue.

The Forbidden Army Commander's face flushed red, "With so many spiritual medicines, we don't know how many experts we can create, or how many masters we can attract to serve us!"

Jin Li also felt joy in her heart.

She remembered what Qi Yuan had said, that he had already cleared the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area instance. Yes, it should be called an instance.

She thought of something and said, "We are going to the depths of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, and we must pick Emperor Grade Spiritual Medicine, especially the Nine Flower Qi Luo."

Jin Li wanted to go deep inside, indeed to pick the Nine Flower Qi Luo.

But there was another reason.

The Forbidden Army soldiers next to her paled slightly upon hearing this.

The depths of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area had Emperor Grade Spiritual Medicine, but there were also bound to be Emperor Rank ferocious beasts.

If they encountered King Rank ferocious beasts, they could still escape.

If they encountered Emperor Rank ferocious beasts, escape would be almost impossible.

The hands holding the ladder couldn't help but grip tighter.

They wondered if this ladder would still be effective.

"We are willing to go with Your Majesty!"

"Mm." Jin Li nodded.

If she wanted to turn the tables, these mere twenty-odd King Grade Spiritual Medicines were far from enough.

She had to obtain the Nine Flower Qi Luo to heal Aunt Qin's injuries, and even help Aunt Qin take it a step further.

She also had to gather other Emperor Grade Spiritual Medicines.

Of course, she also wanted to see the place in the depths of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area where Qi Yuan had stayed for half a year.

A group of beautiful women, carrying ladders on their backs, walked cautiously in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.

Whenever they encountered ferocious beasts, whether powerful, weak, fierce, or docile, they all turned a blind eye to them, even fearing to hurt Jin Li and the others.

This scene made the Forbidden Army Commander click her tongue in wonder, "We can enter the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area carrying ladders, and these ferocious beasts won't even attack us.

This matter is truly unbelievable."

After she finished speaking, she changed the subject, "I wonder which extraordinary person told this method to Her Majesty."

The others also looked at Jin Li, also very curious in their hearts.

That must be an supreme Emperor Rank expert, right?
