200: Eternal Forbidden Zone

Evening.

In the forest, a bonfire was lit.

“Thanks to the Immortal Pill’s energy, the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor’s Physical Body was blown to pieces; otherwise, I really don’t know how long it would have taken to cook…”

After being busy for a while, Lin Yang and the others finally waited for the Devouring Heaven Python meat to be ready.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, the aroma of meat permeated the air.

“The Devouring Heaven Python Emperor’s flesh and blood also contain a lot of residual Immortal Pill power. You all should eat more later; there are many benefits.”

Sitting around the bonfire, Lin Yang took out pre-prepared utensils and first served three large bowls to Ji Kunchang, Bai Feifei, and Aili.

The three had waited outside for a long time but failed to obtain any Earth Immortal Opportunity. Now, they could only compensate by eating more Devouring Heaven Python meat.

As for him and Nangong Xueli, they had just finished refining the Immortal Pill’s energy, and their bodies were full, with no hunger whatsoever. Therefore, they only served a little meat broth and drank a few sips with it.

“Mmm, delicious! Big Brother’s strength now must be quite formidable, right?”

Ji Kunchang wiped his mouth after finishing a large bowl.

“Haha, if I were to encounter a second Devouring Heaven Python Emperor, defeating it with one hand would not be difficult…” Lin Yang smiled slightly, his voice revealing extreme confidence.

The benefits he gained from refining the Immortal Pill this time were simply unparalleled.

According to Lin Yang’s own perception, his current Realm should have reached the Peak level of a Three-Lifetime Great Emperor!

Compared to his cultivation before ascending to the Upper Realm, it had improved by an unknown number of times.

This kind of rapid advancement in strength made Lin Yang himself feel somewhat dreamlike.

The Emperor Realm, which countless beings yearned for, he had broken through so easily.

If it were other Geniuses, breaking through the Emperor Realm would often take thousands of years, and even then, success might not be guaranteed.

But he had succeeded in just seven days.

And it wasn’t just an ordinary One-Lifetime Great Emperor, but a Three-Lifetime Great Emperor!

Looking across this world, perhaps only a divine object like an ancient Immortal Pill possessed such Heaven-Defying power.

If the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor knew that its act of injecting the Immortal Pill into Lin Yang’s body not only failed to kill Lin Yang but, by a strange twist of fate, helped Lin Yang make a significant Breakthrough, would it be so angry that it would reanimate?

However, at present, its Physical Body had already been stewed into soup and roasted into slices, so even if it came back to life, it would be of no avail.

“Big Brother Lin Yang, what are your plans next?”

During their casual chat, Bai Feifei also asked about Lin Yang’s future plans.

Hearing this, Lin Yang smiled and shook his head.

His ascent to the Upper Realm this time was too rushed, mainly to save his beloved wife.

Now that Nangong Xueli was out of danger, he genuinely didn’t know what to do for a while.

Seeing that Lin Yang had no other plans, Bai Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she showed a hint of anticipation, pondering, “Then, Big Brother Lin Yang, are you interested in accompanying us to the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone…”

“Feifei, that’s enough!”

However, before she could finish what she wanted to say, Ji Kunchang, who was beside her, interrupted her with a solemn face.

Bai Feifei immediately pursed her lips, sat back down aggrieved, and said nothing more.

“What’s wrong? Do you need help?”

Seeing this, Lin Yang looked at the two strangely and laughed.

“It’s nothing, just a small trouble, we can handle it ourselves. It’s rare for Big Brother to come to the Upper Realm, and I haven’t had a chance to properly entertain you. When I find an Opportunity, I must apologize to you properly.”

Ji Kunchang smiled and waved his hand, changing the subject.

“Second Brother, when you helped me, I never said such polite words.”

Lin Yang looked directly at Ji Kunchang, shaking his head with a light smile.

Ji Kunchang’s expression froze. He met Lin Yang’s gaze, then lowered his head, wanting to speak but holding back.

After a long silence, Lin Yang saw that Ji Kunchang was still hesitating. He pondered for a moment, then continued, “Second Brother, do you remember what I told you in the Lower Realm? Brothers are in the heart. If you don’t want to say it, Big Brother won’t force you. But remember this, if you become distant with Big Brother today, Big Brother will be very sad.”

“Big Brother…”

Hearing Lin Yang’s words, Ji Kunchang raised his head, his tiger-like eyes filled with moving mist. After a long sigh, he was finally willing to reveal the truth.

It turned out that this matter was related to the child in Bai Feifei’s womb.

Although with Lin Yang’s matchmaking, Ji Kunchang and Bai Feifei were happily married and successfully conceived a new life.

However, as Human Race and beast, the fetus in Bai Feifei’s womb could not be born normally.

Once born, it would surely incur heavenly wrath!

For this, the two sought out famous doctors and consulted ancient texts, finally finding a method of salvation.

That was, for Bai Feifei to consume the sap of the life and death profound tree, one of the nine ancient undying medicines, only then could the fetus in her womb be born safely.

However, after their inquiries and investigations, they discovered that...

The last place the life and death profound tree appeared in ancient texts was a place that made all the Great Emperors of the Upper Realm change their expressions in fear.

The Eternal Life Forbidden Zone!

“Eternal Life Forbidden Zone, what kind of place is that?” Lin Yang asked.

“The Eternal Life Forbidden Zone is one of the seven great forbidden zones of the Upper Realm that has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it hides the ultimate secret of immortality.”

“The Eternal Life Forbidden Zone is a self-contained Realm, where the rules of heaven and earth are completely different from the outside world.”

“Within the forbidden zone, space-time is chaotic, the Dao does not exist, and Spiritual Qi is cut off! It is usually in a closed state, opening only once every five hundred years.”

“After living beings enter it, all Daos are sealed, and magical power vanishes, leaving only the pure Physical Body strength that can be used. It is a paradise for beast races with naturally strong Physical Bodies. If the Human Race enters it, they will be at a natural disadvantage!”

When mentioning the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone, Ji Kunchang’s expression also became extremely serious.

In that forbidden zone, anyone’s magical power would be absolutely restricted.

Whether it was his heavy pupil power or Lin Yang’s Holy Body Divine Power, they would become as useless as chicken ribs in the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone.

Every five hundred years when the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone opened, it would attract countless beings from all races to flock in, seeking the elusive Opportunity for immortality.

But in the end, those who could come out alive were one in ten thousand!

Not to mention those who could come out alive and obtain the Opportunity; perhaps not even one in a hundred thousand could.

However, even though the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone was so dangerous, a death trap that devoured people whole, it still attracted countless people every time it opened.

Simply because...

In the past, someone truly brought out an unparalleled Opportunity from the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone and, with it, attained the Dao of longevity and ascended to Immortality.

“According to ancient records, the Earth Immortal also once ventured into the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone in his youth and obtained something from it. Since then, the Earth Immortal’s rise became unstoppable, until he later stood on par with the true Dragon Bloodline with his true snake body, leaving his name for eternity.”

Ji Kunchang threw out another bombshell.

However, the Earth Immortal was merely one of countless beings who entered the forbidden zone in that era and luckily survived.

Many more countless individuals ultimately remained in that forbidden zone forever.

It was precisely because it was so perilous inside.

Ji Kunchang initially did not want to tell Lin Yang about this, planning to venture into the forbidden zone alone.

If anything were to happen to him, he believed that Big Brother Lin Yang would take good care of Bai Feifei for him.

[Detecting too many fatal factors for the current master in the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone, a temporary mission is now issued: Sacrificing a Fellow Daoist is better than sacrificing oneself!]

[Refuse to enter the forbidden zone with Ji Kunchang. Upon completion, you will receive a reward of five thousand Luck Points!]

“I refuse.”

[Well done, Master. A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall; only those who know the times are heroes. Five thousand Luck Points reward is being issued to you...]

“I’m refusing you, System.”
