Waiting for You to Return in the Mortal World

Within the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, gnarled branches stretched in every direction like horned dragons. Each ancient tree towered into the sky like a small mountain, while old vines as thick as water barrels surged upward like roaring dragons. A single vine could coil around an entire mountain, taut and powerful.

Anyone who knew nothing of the place would see its lush greenery and teeming vitality and take it for a pure land.

But a closer look revealed a deathly stillness across the vast forest. Not a sound could be heard, no birds or beasts left tracks, and not even ants or insects could be seen. It was like reaching the end of the world.

"One of the Eastern Wasteland's seven great Life Restricted Areas."

Fairy Zixia's brows were tightly drawn with worry. "Are we really going in?"

"Not going in. Going home," Lin Xian corrected calmly. "If even we can't enter this Forbidden Zone, then no one in the world can enter the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone."

"Home?" Ye Fan and Fairy Zixia exchanged a glance, then both looked at the little girl on Lin Xian's shoulders. A thought stirred in their minds.

Xiao Nannan's origins were mysterious. She was no ordinary girl, but seemed like a Divine Infant born of heaven and earth. Could she have come from inside the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone?

"The Holy Master has always valued his life above all else. If he dares enter the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, he must be completely confident."

Ye Fan muttered this to Fairy Zixia. After knowing Lin Xian for so many years, he understood Holy Master Lin all too well.

He was first to grab any benefit and first to run from danger. If he truly could not win, he was also first to surrender.
