At this moment, a sudden change occurred! Purple thunder and lightning suddenly fell from the sky again, but this time the target was not Wu Dewang, but the wooden box in Gu Sheng's hand!
"What's going on?!" Gu Sheng exclaimed. He tried to avoid the lightning attack, but it was too late! The purple lightning struck the wooden box hard, blowing it to pieces in an instant! Gu Sheng was also shaken by this powerful force and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
"No!!! My treasure!!!" Gu Sheng struggled to get up from the ground, staring at the pile of ashes. The wooden box that originally contained the treasure was now in ruins. His heart was bleeding, anger and despair intertwined in his heart.
Wu Dewang on the side is a different scene. He is busy searching for the fragments of Great Breaking Bowl around, looking anxious and focused.
Suddenly, he felt a chill coming over him. He looked up and saw Gu Sheng's eyes that were almost spitting out fire.
"Ah! My little friend, listen to my explanation!" Wu Dewang was startled and took a few steps back subconsciously.
But how could Gu Sheng let him escape easily? With a wave of his palm, Grass Vine Demonic Soul jumped out of the ground in an instant and tied Wu Dewang tightly.
"Have mercy, little friend! I want to avoid you every time, but I bump into you every time. What a fate!" Wu Dewang begged for mercy with a grimace.
Gu Sheng didn't speak, just stared at him coldly, with a mysterious light shining in his eyes. This is his Great Moon Eye Technique, which can penetrate people's hearts and search memories.
Under Gu Sheng's pupil technique, Wu Dewang only felt that his thoughts were being seen through by the other party, and he felt panic in his heart.
"Little friend, please let me go! I know Dao Yi a bigger treasure, which is enough to make up for your loss!" In order to survive, Wu Dewang hurriedly threw out the bait.
Gu Sheng heard this, the light in his pupils flashed slightly, he withdrew Grass Vine Demonic Soul, and said coldly, "Say!"
Wu Dewang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Do you know the seven major Life Forbidden Zone of the Central Continent?"
"Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, Primordial Forbidden Zone, Undying Mountain..." Gu Sheng lists them one by one. These are common sense in the practice world.
"Yes! These are the places!" Wu Dewang's eyes lit up, "In addition to Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, I also know the specific location of Primordial Forbidden Zone. The treasures there are of immortal level and are definitely worth exploring!"
Gu Sheng heard this, and his heart moved. He originally planned to explore these Life Forbidden Zone to find more powerful treasures and opportunities. Now that we have the "guide" Wu Dewang, it's a good opportunity.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Lead the way, let's go to Primordial Forbidden Zone."
As soon as these words came out, Xing Lie, Wu Tianxiong and others who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two also expressed their intention to accompany them. They are also very interested in Primordial Forbidden Zone, but they have been suffering from no specific clues before.
"Little friend, this person is very cunning and can't be trusted easily!" Xing Lie reminded with a frown.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Sheng waved his hand, "I have Great Moon Eye Technique in my hand. If he dares to lie to me, his life will be worse than death."
When everyone saw this, they stopped talking. They prepared their bags one after another and embarked on the journey to Primordial Forbidden Zone with Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang.
Along the way, Wu Dewang did not break his promise. Relying on the route in his memory, he led everyone through many fogs and dangers, and finally came to the edge of Primordial Forbidden Zone.
In front of him was a barren desert area, with strong winds blowing sand grains flying in the air to form salon rolls. In the center of the desert stands an ancient and mysterious stone door, which is engraved with ancient runes and patterns.
"This is the entrance to Primordial Forbidden Zone." Wu Dewang pointed at the stone door and said, "But everyone, please be careful! The dangers here are no joke."
"Hmph! Danger and opportunity coexist!" Gu Sheng snorted coldly, "If you are afraid, you can go back now."
"Hehe~ I was kidding, little friend." Wu Dewang smiled awkwardly, "Since I brought you here, I won't give up easily."
After everyone looked at each other and smiled, they began to walk cautiously towards the stone door...
The moment they stepped into the stone door, an ancient and mysterious aura hit their faces as if to devour them.
"Everyone, be careful!" Gu Sheng warned while releasing his spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding environment. "There seems to be some ancient power here guarding this forbidden land."
After hearing the words, everyone nodded in agreement and at the same time released their spiritual consciousness to observe the surrounding situation vigilantly.
They walked slowly along an ancient stone staircase and soon came to a ruins. The ruins had apparently once been a vast palace complex but were now in a state of dilapidation.
"It seems that there was a war here!" Xing Lie sighed, "The architectural styles of these palaces are very ancient, and they are obviously relics of ancient times."
"Not bad!" Gu Sheng nodded, "And from these ruins we can see how tragic the battle was at that time."
Everyone continued to move forward and soon came to a large hall. Although this hall is dilapidated, its former splendor and grandeur can still be seen.
"This should be the core area of Primordial Forbidden Zone." Wu Dewang pointed at the main hall and said, "The thing we are looking for should be inside."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He always felt that this place was a bit strange and dangerous, but he still decided to go in and find out.
So everyone stepped into the hall one after another.
As soon as they entered the hall, they were enveloped by a strong pressure, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"What a powerful pressure!" Xing Lie exclaimed, "What kind of power is this?"
"If I guessed correctly, this should be the protective power of Primordial Forbidden Zone." Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing the words, and at the same time they all used their skills to resist the strong pressure and moved forward slowly...
They walked through a long corridor and came to a stone room. This stone room was obviously the core area of the hall, because here, they felt a stronger pressure and mysterious atmosphere.
"It seems we have found the right place!" Wu Dewang said excitedly, "This should be where Primordial Forbidden Zone's treasure is!"
At this moment, an even more powerful pressure descended from the sky, as if it was about to crush the entire stone chamber. Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all used their skills to resist the terrifying pressure.
At the same time, the light in the stone chamber suddenly became brighter, illuminating the entire space. Everyone was surprised to find that there was a huge stone tablet in the center of the stone chamber, which was engraved with ancient characters and patterns.
"This is... the Desolate Antiquity stone tablet?" Gu Sheng said in surprise, "What is recorded on it is actually Primordial Era's cultivation techniques and martial arts!"
After hearing this, everyone gathered around and carefully looked at the words and patterns on the stone tablet. They found that these exercises and martial arts were very profound and powerful, and were obviously Primordial Era's top cultivation methods.
Just as they were immersed in the mystery of these exercises and martial arts, an even more terrifying force suddenly burst out from the stone tablet, as if it was going to destroy the entire stone chamber.
"No! Back away!" Gu Sheng shouted, his voice echoing in the stone chamber, waking up everyone like thunder. He pulled everyone back quickly, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, when they reappeared, they had landed in a completely different place.
"This is... the Red Cloud Forbidden Land?" Gu Sheng frowned. He looked around and saw nine towering Sacred Mountains surrounding it, with a huge Eight Trigrams Array picture in the center. This is very similar to the place he once explored in the Crimson Cloud Continent, but there are some differences. There were only seven dragon heads in the scene back then, but now there are nine, majestic and mysterious.
Xing Lie, Wu Tianxiong, Ying Tianxing and Kou Hai also felt that something was unusual here. They greedily breathed in the rich aura in the air, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.
"Woof woof woof!" Black Emperor barked even more excitedly. It seemed to be naturally sensitive to this mysterious land.
Gu Sheng walked towards the nearest Sacred Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a fairyland-like scene, with clear streams, green grass, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers making people feel relaxed and happy. But the further up you go, the more terrifying the scene becomes.
The mountain road is littered with the remains of various creatures and humans, emitting a nauseating stench. These skeletons seem to tell the story of the tragic battles and the tragic fate of countless explorers.
"The smell here is so terrifying..." Xing Lie swallowed and his face turned pale.
"Yeah, I feel like my life force is passing away quickly." Wu Tianxiong also felt uncomfortable, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Everyone was using their skills one after another, trying to resist this terrifying breath of death. However, except for Gu Sheng and Black Emperor, the lives of others are still passing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xing Lie and others' skin began to become sagging, and wrinkles gradually appeared on their faces. They seemed to have aged decades in an instant and turned into old men in their eighties. The situation of Wu Dewang is even worse. He looks to be over a hundred years old. The folds of his skin are all stuck together, and his whole person looks extremely old and decadent.
"What's going on? How come we suddenly grow old?" Ying Tianxing asked in horror.
"The breath of death here is too strong, affecting our vitality." Kou Hai explained with a frown, "We must leave this place as soon as possible."
Gu Sheng stood there without moving. He seemed to be thinking about something, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
"No." He said slowly, "Although this place is full of death, it also contains huge vitality. You can feel the concentration of spiritual energy here. It is much richer than the outside world. This is a good place for cultivation, but we have not found the right way to use it."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy around them. Sure enough, as Gu Sheng said, the concentration of spiritual energy here is extremely high, but it is just covered up by the breath of death.
"Then what should we do?" Wu Tianxiong asked, "We can't just stay here and wait to die, right?"
"Of course not." Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Follow me, I know Dao Yi a place where we can temporarily avoid the invasion of this breath of death."
With that said, he took the lead and walked towards the top of the mountain. Although everyone had doubts, they had no choice but to follow closely. Black Emperor also followed closely with his tail wagging, seemingly full of trust in Gu Sheng.
Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, they came to the entrance of a cave surrounded by mysterious runes. "This is a place I have explored before." Gu Sheng explained, "These runes can isolate the breath of death from the outside world and allow us to practice here for a period of time."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the cave. Sure enough, as Gu Sheng said, the air here was much fresher without the suffocating breath of death. They sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
As time goes by, everyone is practicing in this mysterious cave and their strength is gradually improving...
On this day, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation, "It's almost time, we can go out."
After hearing this, everyone stopped practicing and stood up. They felt that their bodies were full of strength, as if they had been reborn.
When they walked out of the cave, they were surprised to find that their aging appearance had returned to its youthful appearance!
"What... what's going on?" Xing Lie asked in surprise. He touched his face and felt as if he was dreaming.
"It is the spiritual energy here that heals our bodies." Gu Sheng explained, "The spiritual energy here is not only extremely rich, but also contains powerful vitality, which can heal the hidden wounds and aging of our bodies."
"Then can we stay here and practice forever?" Wu Tianxiong asked excitedly. He seemed to have seen the day when he would become a top powerhouse.
Gu Sheng shook his head, "Although the aura here is rich, it has limits. We can't always rely on it to improve our strength, otherwise it will hinder our path of cultivation... Moreover, this place also hides unknown dangers, and we cannot stay for a long time."
Several people walked out of the cave with difficulty. The mountain road in front of them became steeper and steeper, as if it went straight to the sky. They looked at each other and could see firm determination in each other's eyes. As they continued to climb, gravity seemed to be gradually increasing, making each step extremely difficult.
"Crackling -" Xing Lie's bones were the first to make an overwhelming sound of breaking. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"I... I can't do it anymore..." Xing Lie gasped, his face as pale as paper.
Kou Hai, Wu Tianxiong and Ying Tianxing also stopped one after another. Their bodies had reached their limits. Only Gu Sheng, Wu Dewang and Black Emperor are still climbing forward.
Gu Sheng looked back at his companions behind him and took a deep breath, "You guys should go back to the cave to rest first. Black Emperor and I will continue moving forward."
"But..." Wu Dewang looked at Gu Sheng with some worry, "Can you do it alone?"
"No problem." Gu Sheng smiled, "I feel the aura of Divine Spring in front of me. If we can find it, our cultivation and life span will be improved."
Hearing the word "Divine Spring", the eyes of Xing Lie and others suddenly lit up. However, they also knew that their physical condition could no longer continue.
