And just as everyone was filled with curiosity, the Shrouding the Heavens World " began.
Ling Jue stood in the center of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall, the sword patterns on his white robe shimmering slightly in the spiritual energy within the hall.
Looking into Chen Xin's eager eyes, he slowly spoke, "The so-called Life Forbidden Zone are not comparable to ordinary dangerous places."
Chen Xin held his breath, and the six elders also looked solemn.
"This goes back to the Mythological Era."
Ling Jue's voice echoed in the empty hall, "Since the beginning of heaven and earth, there have been places that contain power beyond the ordinary—perhaps fragments of laws left over from the beginning of chaos, perhaps the Daoist temples of Ancient Supreme beings, or perhaps naturally formed forbidden zones."
In some of these places, time is disordered, and a single step can feel like a thousand years.
Some spaces are fragmented, isolating the inside from the outside;
Some are terrifying beings that have persisted from the Mythological Era to the present day.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ling Jue conjured a star map drawn with spiritual light in the center of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall.
Seven areas on the star map are marked with a striking blood-red hue.
There are seven Life Forbidden Zone in the world today.
Chen Xin stared at the star map and saw that the blood-red markings were scattered throughout the sky, one of which was marked with the four characters " Primordial Ancient Mine ".
"These seven forbidden zones are: the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the Undying Mountain, the Divine Ruins, the Immortal Mausoleum, the Reincarnation Sea, and the Burial Heaven Island."
Even though Chen Xin didn't go there in person, every time Ling Jue called out a name, it seemed to lower the temperature in the hall by one degree.
Chen Xin felt a chill run down his spine. "Why... why have these places become such desperate situations?"
The reasons vary.
Ling Jue the star map. "We don't know either. After all, that's Life Forbidden Zone; how could I possibly understand it?"
For a moment, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Chen Xin suddenly asked, "Master, what level of cultivator is required to enter the Life Forbidden Zone?"
This question stunned Ling Jue and the six elders.
After a long silence, Ling Jue slowly said, "The reason why the Life Forbidden Zone is called a 'forbidden zone' is precisely because no matter what realm one is at, entering it carries the risk of death."
"Historically, there have been Saint who ventured into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and attained enlightenment in three days; there have been Quasi-Emperor who wielded Emperor Weapon to attack the Undying Mountain, only to be severely wounded and forced to flee, their Emperor Weapon damaged; and there have even been holy lands that mobilized their entire sect to invade the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, yet none of them ever returned."
Chen Xin gasped, "Then wouldn't that mean no one could enter?"
"It's not absolute," Ling Jue with a distant gaze. "If we're talking about the world today, perhaps only one person can move freely within the forbidden zone."
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?" Chen Xin blurted out.
Ling Jue nodded, a look of reverence flashing in his eyes. "Nine thousand years ago, during that Dark Turmoil, the Heavenly Emperor once entered the Undying Mountain alone and eventually emerged unharmed."
Later, Divine Ruins, the Reincarnation Sea, Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land...
This is the only documented entity that moves freely within the restricted area.
"But only for the Heavenly Emperor."
Third Elder Chi Xiao added, "Even the War Gods and Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court dare not easily set foot in the core of the forbidden zone. At most, they explore the perimeter; once they venture deeper, the chances of survival are equally slim."
The Chen Xin was deeply shaken, beyond words.
He then understood why a single declaration of war could put the entire Sword Pavilion on high alert.
That was a place where even Saint perished and Quasi-Emperor had to be cautious, yet the Heavenly Court was taking the initiative to conquer it!
"Therefore," Ling Jue looked at Chen Xin solemnly, "You must remember: no matter what level your cultivation reaches in the future, as long as you have not become an Emperor, you must never approach the edge of any forbidden zone."
That wasn't a trial, nor an opportunity; it was a place of certain death.
Chen Xin bowed respectfully. "This disciple will remember."
At this moment, upon hearing Ling Jue's explanation, the Douluo Continent was in an uproar.
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
"Only... only the Heavenly Emperor can freely enter and exit?"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with astonishment, "Even Quasi-Emperor wielding Emperor Weapon would be severely injured if they broke in... What exactly is Emperor Weapon?"
Tang San was also incredibly shocked. "Teacher, I never imagined that the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and the Undying Mountain that we saw before... were actually called ' Life Forbidden Zone '?"
"I thought those were just dangerous places, but I never imagined... they were places where even Quasi-Emperor would perish."
Zhao Wuji rubbed his face vigorously and said in a gruff voice, "I, Old Zhao, originally thought that going into a place Slaughter City and coming out alive was considered a sign of good fortune."
He paused, his voice trailing off, "But now that I think about it, at least we can still get into the Slaughter City, and we can still break out..."
These restricted areas are off-limits; you can't even get close to them.
Flender nodded, "They're not even on the same level... The most dangerous forbidden area on our Douluo Continent, the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, the Slaughter City..."
There's absolutely no comparison.
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his eyes shining brightly. "Hey, don't just think the worst! I mean—if there are forbidden zones, it means that there are unimaginable opportunities in that world!"
If one day we...
"Fatty, wake up!"
Xiao Wu interrupted him impatiently, "Didn't you hear the most crucial sentence? 'Even Saint would perish if they went in!'"
We have no idea what the realm of a ' Saint ' is, but they must be beings who could wipe out the entire Douluo Continent in the blink of an eye!
Even beings like that would die inside, let alone our current Soul Power, our so-called Titled Douluo..."
She shook her head, her long pink hair swaying. "In that world, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the right to stand at a distance and gaze at the forbidden zone."
On Sea God Island, seven Sacred Pillar stand silently in the sea breeze.
Bo Saixi, dressed in red, stood before the main Sacred Pillar, her long, sea-blue hair swaying gently in the wind.
She gazed at the Heavenly Screen and murmured to herself, her voice barely audible to the sea breeze. "It's like comparing a firefly to the Haoyue..."
Sea Dragon Douluo stood three steps behind her and said in a deep voice, "High Priest, the scriptures left by the Lord Sea God never mention such a world."
"Because even the Lord Sea God at his level might not be able to reach that realm."
Bo Saixi turned around, her eyes filled with a calm that seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life. "We worship the Sea God, believing him to be supreme."
But now it seems that above the gods... there is an even wider realm.
The Sea Maiden Douluo, holding a golden harp, gently plucked a string. "Then our faith..."
"Our faith is not wrong," Bo Saixi interrupted her, her voice gentle yet firm. "It is a fact that the Lord Sea God protects the ocean and blesses his followers."
Just as a child looks up to his father, above the father are his grandfather, and above that, his ancestors.
But the child's love and respect for his father will not diminish in the slightest.
She looked up at the Heavenly Screen again, the abyss that swallowed the stars reflected in her eyes. "But we should understand... the world is much bigger than we imagine."
The council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School was completely silent.
Gu Rong stood with his hands behind his back by the window, his withered fingers gently tapping on the window frame.
After a long silence, he turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting in the main seat. " Fengzhi, do you think that guy Chen Xin... will one day lose his temper?"
"Given Uncle Jian's personality..." Ning Fengzhi a wry smile, "If one day he stands on the threshold of that realm, and the forbidden zone holds the ultimate swordsmanship he seeks..."
Do you think he'll go?
"He will," Gu Rong said without hesitation. "He's willing to risk anything for the sword."
That's why I'm even more worried.
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, a rare worry appearing on his usually composed face. "In the Douluo Continent, he is a peak Sword Douluo. No matter where he goes, he is at least confident of escaping unscathed."
But in that world...
Just as the two were talking, Ling Jue spoke again in the Shrouding the Heavens World ".
