278: Five restricted areas

He was not in a hurry to take that Vermilion Bird Token, because the other two were also in the Sky Gazing Pavilion's hands, so it was better to let the Sky Gazing Pavilion's people bid for them first.

Once they successfully bid for them and sent them back to the Sky Gazing Pavilion, he would just go and retrieve them.

No matter how strong the Sky Gazing Pavilion was, he could still browse through their treasury.

"Ding! The System advises the Host not to forcefully enter the Fallen God Land!"

Xu Qing was startled upon hearing this. "Is there any danger in this Fallen God Land?"

The System did not reply.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow. "Tell me! Name your price!"

"Ding! One hundred billion family points to inform the Host about the five great forbidden zones of the Eternal Continent!"

"System, if you were in my previous life, you'd be wasted if you didn't rob banks!"

Complaining was one thing, but he still had to pay!

"Ding! The five great forbidden zones of the Eternal Continent are: Fallen God Land, Mythic Mountains, Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons, Eastern Wilderness Forbidden Zone, and Tianluo Ruins!"

"Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons?"

Xu Qing never expected the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons to make the list; it seemed this Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons was not as simple as he thought.

"The Fifth Forbidden Zone: Tianluo Ruins. During the Dark Era, above the Tianluo Sea, there was a Tianluo Continent. Later, due to the outbreak of the Darkness Upheaval, the continent eventually disintegrated. One-third of it sank into the deep sea, forming the Fifth Forbidden Zone!"

"Danger Index: Extremely Dangerous. It contains countless Legacies of powerhouses and Heaven And Earth Treasures. However, because it is located in the deep sea, countless Vicious Beasts inhabit it, and there are still many Formations and Dao Principles within the Ruins. Even a Dao Severing powerhouse could fall if they are not careful."

The myriad Star Islands on the Tianluo Sea appeared in Xu Qing's mind. He never expected that there was a forbidden zone, ranked fifth on the continent, there.

These Tianluo Ruins had never appeared in any ancient texts of the continent, and even the origin of the myriad Star Islands was only mentioned in fragments. Indeed, some things cannot be known until one reaches a certain Realm.

"The Fourth Forbidden Zone: Eastern Wilderness Forbidden Zone. Located in the Eastern Wasteland Domain of the Central Heaven Divine Continent. During the Pioneering Era, many powerful races, wanting to avoid conflict, lived within the Eastern Wasteland Divine Mountain. Later, during the Primordial, Ancient, and Archaic Eras, powerful clans successively migrated in, forming the Hundred Clans of the Eastern Wasteland."

"Danger Index: Extremely Dangerous. Among the Hundred Clans of the Eastern Wasteland, there are Dao Lord Realm powerhouses. Furthermore, they do not participate in external affairs. During the Ancient Alliance, they participated in the alliance and were ultimately able to continue their existence in the Eastern Wasteland Divine Mountain!"

Another piece of knowledge was added. Xu Qing noted this place down, intending to visit it when he went to the Central Heaven Divine Continent. Perhaps he would gain something.

"The Third Forbidden Zone: Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons. During the Extinction Era, some ancient existences of the Yao Race, unwilling to participate in the Extinction conflict, hid within the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons, forming a self-contained forbidden zone!"

"Danger Index: Catastrophe. In its depths, there are Dao Lord Realm Divine Beasts that survived by participating in the Ancient Alliance."

Such powerhouses still existed in the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons. No wonder even though the Human Race had so many Great Emperors, he had never heard of any Great Emperor entering the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons to cause trouble.

Fortunately, he had not allowed Luan Ruxue to enter it that day. If she had encountered danger, he might not have been able to save her.

Although he was fearless of Dao Lord powerhouses, a Dao Lord was not something he could contend with at his current stage.

"The Second Forbidden Zone: Mythic Mountains. Located north of the Central Heaven Divine Continent and south of Beiming Lake. During the Mythological Era, various Innate Gods and Devils wished to rule the Eternal Dao Realm, leading to a great war. Some of these Innate Gods and Devils, unwilling to participate in the conflict, hid in the Mythic Mountains. Later, some became the creators of the Heavenly Court, while others remained in the Mythic Mountains!"

"Danger Index: Calamity. Within it exist ancient beings that have survived since the Mythological Era, including many Dao Lord powerhouses. During the Dark Era, a Chaos Race once tried to occupy this place, but was ultimately annihilated by an ancient existence, and since then, no one has dared to provoke it."

"Calamity? One Rank higher than the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons. It seems there must be Dao Ancestor powerhouses within!"

Xu Qing silently noted this place down.

"The First Forbidden Zone: Fallen God Land. Located in the Fallen God Domain of the Central Heaven Divine Continent. During the Extinction Era, one-third of the Heavenly Court's immortal land fell from the Nine Heavens, landing in the Central Heaven Divine Continent and forming the First Forbidden Zone, Fallen God Land."

"Over a hundred Heavenly Court Dao Realm powerhouses fell within it, including three Dao Ancestors and seventeen Dao Lords! The demise of numerous powerhouses, coupled with various Dao Formations, Dao Principles, and grievances, led to the Fallen God Land becoming a self-contained forbidden zone."

"It is said that the Dao thoughts of the Heavenly Court powerhouses who fell in ancient times are immortal. Coupled with the special Dao field of the Fallen God Land, any living being from outside the Heavenly Court who mistakenly enters it will be annihilated by the forbidden zone."

"Over countless years, six Dao Lords have fallen within it. Even a Demon Race Dao Ancestor once forcefully entered the Fallen God Land, eventually escaping severely wounded, but was afflicted by the curse of the Fallen God Land and ultimately vanished into the Chaos!"

Xu Qing was shocked. If this Fallen God Land was so dangerous, wouldn't he be finished if he went there?

No wonder the Sky Gazing Pavilion had been able to endure all this time; it turned out they had such a natural barrier.

It seemed that to enter the Tomb of Que Yu, he still needed to plan carefully.

"System, without the Vermilion Bird Token, can I enter this Tomb of Que Yu?" Xu Qing asked.

If he knew the address of the Tomb of Que Yu, with his strength, entering would not be a big problem!

"Ding! However, before Que Yu died, she used the power of a Dao Weapon to Seal the entire tomb. Once an outsider intrudes, the tomb will instantly self-destruct, sending everything within the tomb into the Void Realm turbulence."

"Troublesome!"

Xu Qing frowned. In that case, he could only wait!

"Does the System know where the Tomb of Que Yu is?"

Xu Qing asked.

Since the Fallen God Land was inaccessible, it was better to wait for the rabbit to come. He didn't have the key, but he could go and stake out the place in advance. As long as an Incarnation entered the Fallen God Land, who could compete with him?

"Ding! Ten million family points!"

Xu Qing was already used to it.

After the System deducted the family points, a map appeared in his mind.

"This place... isn't this the center of the Xi Yan Desert? I even passed by it!"

"System, oh System, you really are something else ~"

Xu Qing was dumbfounded when he saw the tomb's location, because he had been to that place. There was even an Earth Flame Core Fire there, and he had collected the Earth Core Fire Marrow next to the flame at the time. He never expected that beneath it was the tomb.

"..."

Xu Qing ignored the System and began to enjoy the delicacies on the table.

Three days passed in a flash. These past few days, many powerhouses had come to Panlong City for this auction.

Indeed, before the auction even began, a large number of people poured into the auction house.

Xu Qing did not go. He didn't care for the things inside. What he needed to ensure now was that the items were bid on by the Sky Gazing Pavilion's people. Even if they couldn't win the bid, he would find a way to create an accident and send the items into the Sky Gazing Pavilion's hands.

At this moment, in the courtyard, the old man and the other two had already rushed to the auction house. They never imagined that all their actions were under someone else's surveillance.

The auction began.

When it came to the Vermilion Bird Token, after a fierce competition, it finally fell into the hands of the Sky Gazing Pavilion.

After bidding for the Vermilion Bird Token, the Sky Gazing Pavilion did not linger. They took the item and left that very day.

Xu Qing smiled. Everything was under control. He manifested an Incarnation and headed towards the Tomb of Que Yu, while his main body continued to travel!

And at this moment, a piece of news shook the continent.

The Star Moon Grotto-heaven was about to open...
