really!
The Forbidden Zone of Life may be related to Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and legend has it that it holds the answers to the secrets of the past.
Upon hearing Palace Master Liu's words, everyone else was taken aback, but Yang Zhen was not surprised at all; he had long suspected that this matter was unusual.
Such an extraordinary place couldn't have been set up by just anyone. How could a place imbued with the order of heaven and earth be simple?
Seeing Yang Zhen's expression, Palace Master Liu Yang Zhen and asked, "Young Master Yang doesn't seem surprised?"
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen in surprise, and they were even more surprised to see that Yang Zhen's face was nonchalant, and even had an expression of "I knew it," which made them even more surprised.
Yang Zhen waved his hand, looking speechless, and said, "This is obvious. Everyone's not stupid. It would be surprising if there weren't some secrets involved. Why are you all so surprised?"
Everyone was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.
Damn, it's that simple?
Palace Master Liu laughed heartily and said, "The secrets of the Upper Realm are secrets of heaven and earth that have continued for nearly ten thousand years. If we can unravel the secrets of the Upper Realm, the Youzhou Continent may be able to re-enter a magnificent era."
"We might get into trouble!" Yang Zhen muttered to himself, then asked Palace Master Liu, "And then what? What do you want us to do?"
Palace Master Liu's face showed a relaxed expression, and she said cheerfully, "Young friend Yang is indeed a straightforward person. In that case, I will speak frankly. Legend has it that after the Medicine Madman entered the Forbidden Zone of Life, a sentence was passed down. On that day, a terrifying life aura erupted in the sky above the Forbidden Zone of Life, and the Earth Treasury Root that blotted out the sky formed two characters in mid-air..."
"What word?" Yang Zhen was taken aback.
Earth Treasury Root is an extraordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures. To use this stuff to form a single character shows that this Medicine Madman Medicine Madman truly lives up to his name; he's incredibly rich.
Palace Master Liu beckoned, and a disciple brought over a painting, displaying it to everyone.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened, and following the gaze, she read aloud, "Mom...?"
"Why is this old man swearing?" Yang Zhen looked at Palace Master Liu with a strange expression.
Palace Master Liu smiled wryly and explained, "This is a description given by an eyewitness, so it may not be entirely accurate, but that person said it was roughly this shape."
Everyone stared in astonishment at the crooked graphic that looked exactly like the word "damn it," exchanging bewildered glances.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Palace Master Liu continued, "Originally, it was just a vague statement, but recently someone deduced from the Medicine Madman Pill Formula prepared by the Medicine Madman that he may have seen information about the Shanggen Secret Clan."
"What is the Shanggen Secret Clan?" Yang Zhen was stunned, his eyes widening. "This thing can deduce information about the Shanggen Secret Clan? Does that mean the Shanggen Secret Clan uses this as an insult?"
The name sounds like that of an incredibly powerful race, but it's unclear just how powerful they must be to survive in a place like the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Palace Master Liu's expression turned serious, and she said, "It's that group of people I just told you to be careful of!"
Yang Zhen almost turned and left, pointing at himself and asking, "You want me to fight the Shanggen Secret Clan? How many lives do you think I have?"
"Of course, that's one!" Palace Master Liu chuckled and said, "Not entirely. As long as we don't easily clash with them, it'll be fine. In reality, those people aren't the true Shanggen Secret Clan; they're just descendants of a bloodline that has been passed down. They're not as powerful as you might imagine."
"That's more like it, but if we're not going to clash with them, then what are we going in for?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
"Stop them from resurrecting the people of the Shanggen Secret Clan!"
Holy crap!
Yang Zhen was startled. Did these lunatics intend to resurrect their ancestors who had been dead for ten thousand years in the Forbidden Zone of Life?
Turning my head, I saw that Shameless Cat rolling its eyes around. I grabbed it and said, "You Shameless Cat, did you remember something?"
The Shameless Cat glared and said, "No, I didn't remember. Damn it, kid, let me go! I suddenly feel the urge to go into seclusion, or I'll die! Hurry, there's no time!"
Seeing the cowardly appearance of the Shameless Cat, Yang Zhen became even more certain of his suspicions: this trip to the Forbidden Zone of Life was likely fraught with danger.
Yang Zhen turned to look at Hua Youyue and asked, "How do you feel?"
Hua Youyue frowned, and after a long while, she said, "We must go!"
"Why?" Yang Zhen was taken aback. It seemed that the little girl's feelings had not only not disappeared, but had become stronger and stronger.
Hua Youyue glanced at Yang Zhen and said softly, "Those people are in danger."
Yang Zhen gasped, unsure whether Hua Youyue was referring to a descendant of the Shanggen Secret Clan with a trace of bloodline, or the actual Shanggen Secret Clan.
Those creatures that can survive for tens of thousands of years after they've died—it's no wonder they're dangerous.
"Tsk tsk..." Yang Zhen muttered to himself, "This is getting more and more interesting. My gossip- Sage of Saunter fire is burning fiercely! Oh my god!"
The Shameless Cat, who was sneaking out, suddenly turned around with a strange look on its face. "Huh, when did you learn the Eight Trigrams Fire? What kind of martial art is this? Could it be the Companion Heavenly Fire?"
Yang Zhen glanced disdainfully at the Shameless Cat, nodded, and said, "It's a kind of Companion Heavenly Fire. In our village, especially some women, they are born with this Companion Heavenly Fire. Its power is terrifying, but it always causes trouble for themselves and others."
"Wow!" The Shameless Cat's eyes lit up. "That's awesome?"
After three days of travel by airship, the group finally arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Zone of Life.
The Medicine Madman" wasn't just made up randomly; it contained a special aura, almost identical to that of the legendary Shanggen Secret Clan. Those two words were simply a restriction created to seal that aura.
Yang Zhen stood on the deck, looking towards the Forbidden Zone of Life, and immediately gasped.
Wisps of red mist, obscuring the sky and lingering in the air above the Forbidden Zone of Life, stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly forming its own world.
No one knows how large the Forbidden Zone of Life Forbidden Zone of Life, because no one has ever been able to fully explore its environment.
Even circling the edge of the Forbidden Zone of Life, they couldn't fly a full circle. They would either get lost and lose their way, or crash headlong into the Forbidden Zone of Life itself.
Beneath the sky, all was gloomy, and within the wispy red mist, flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across the sky, their thunderous roars captivating the soul.
Yang Zhen glanced around and saw that the edge of the Forbidden Zone of Life was covered with a deathly pale expanse of bones, densely packed and layered. And this was only what he could see; deep within the mist, who knew how many lives had perished?
This solemn and gloomy world broadened Yang Zhen's horizons.
Who could have imagined that such a terrifying place existed within the realm of existence, shrouded in a red mist, filled with endless murderous intent, where almost no living being could survive?
Just then, a faint, mournful sound, like a sob or a weep, drifted from the heavens and earth, sending chills down one's spine.
The Shameless Cat's fur stood on end. It arched its back, tail held high, and looked around with a chilling expression. "Damn it, what the hell is that sound? Is it really haunted? Kid, this place is dangerous! I..."
Whoosh!
The Flirtatious Chicken immediately tucked its head under its wing.
The sudden movement startled the Shameless Cat, who let out a strange howl, leaped three feet high, landed on Yang Zhen's shoulder, and cursed at the Flirtatious Chicken.
"Holy crap, can you stop scaring me?"
The Flirtatious Chicken gave the Shameless Cat a disdainful look and slowly began to groom the downy feathers under its wings.
boom!
The sky and earth changed color as a crimson bolt of lightning pierced the heavens and earth, crashing down from the sky and illuminating half of the Forbidden Zone of Life.
