128: First Generation Flying Immortal Body

Deep within the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

Lin Qingyi trudged forward with difficulty through the deathly silent forbidden zone.

The deeper she went, the greater the formless pressure became, and the immortal light that autonomously circulated within her Flying Immortal Body grew dim and indistinct.

The mana within her was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate; had it not been for the Flying Immortal Body's extraordinary efficiency in absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, she would have already exhausted her strength.

Just as she was about to give up and prepare to hold her ground while waiting for reinforcements, a strange fluctuation emanated from an inconspicuous red mountain col ahead.

That fluctuation resonated faintly with the Flying Immortal power within her, carrying a weak sense of summons.

She forced herself to stay alert and cautiously approached the mountain col.

Deep inside the mountain col, the scene changed abruptly.

It was no longer a vast expanse of scorched earth, but a small oasis shrouded in hazy immortal mist.

In the center of the oasis was a spring, barely a square zhang in size, with crystal-clear water exuding a faint aura of life.

And right beside the spring, a massive piece of Divine Source, standing three people tall, stood silently.

The Divine Source was clear and transparent, with a figure sealed inside.

It was a woman dressed in ancient, faded neon robes. Her eyes were closed, and her beauty was peerless; even through the Divine Source, one could feel her cold, solitary aura that did not seem to belong to the mortal world.

What shook Lin Qingyi the most was that the Dao Rhyme naturally flowing around this woman shared the same source as the Flying Immortal Body Origin within her!

It was even purer and more ancient!

"Senior..." Lin Qingyi approached involuntarily. She could feel that the state of the woman inside the Divine Source was quite peculiar; it was not a pure slumber, but rather as if her life Origin had been imprisoned by some power, trapping her in an eternal silence. Only a tiny glimmer of light at the center of her brow flickered extremely slowly, maintaining a weak connection with the outside world.

And the summons she had sensed earlier came precisely from that tiny glimmer of light.

Lin Qingyi had a flash of inspiration. She sat cross-legged before the Divine Source and exerted her Flying Immortal Body to its full extent.

Hazy immortal light bloomed from within her, flowing like moonlight, and slowly injected into the Divine Source, attempting to establish a deeper connection with that tiny glimmer of light.

Hum—!

As the pure Flying Immortal power was injected, the Divine Source shook violently!

The glimmer at the center of the woman's brow inside suddenly flared, like a lighthouse ignited in the darkness.

The immortal mist of the entire oasis began to boil, the spring gurgled, and pure life essence Qi permeated the area.

"In my name, by the Dao of Flying Immortals, break this cage!"

A cold female voice, carrying the vicissitudes of endless years, resounded directly in Lin Qingyi's mind.

Lin Qingyi did not dare to delay; she bit the tip of her tongue and forced out a drop of pale golden essence blood containing the Flying Immortal Origin, then flicked her finger, sending it toward the Divine Source.

Sizzle!

The essence blood landed on the surface of the Divine Source, but it did not slide off; instead, it was rapidly absorbed like a drop of water sinking into a sponge.

The next moment, the light at the center of the woman's brow inside the Divine Source surged, transforming into a sharp, peerless beam of Flying Immortal light!

Crack... crack...

The incomparably solid Divine Source, capable of sealing any existence below the Great Emperor, began to develop fine cracks on its surface. The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire source block like a spiderweb.

Boom!

Finally, the Divine Source shattered completely, turning into dots of crystalline light that merged into the surrounding immortal mist and the spring.

The ancient existence, who had been sealed for who knows how many years, slowly opened her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

Clear as autumn water, yet deep as the eternal starry sky. In the depths of her pupils, it seemed as if the shadow of a Flying Immortal flashed by, transcending the mortal world, untainted by dust.

Her gaze fell upon Lin Qingyi, who was pale from excessive consumption. A hint of softness and complexity flashed through her cold eyes: "It was you... who awakened me. Same-Origin Bloodline... little one of the later generations, what is your name?"

"Junior Lin Qingyi greets Senior." Lin Qingyi hurriedly bowed. She could feel the aura emanating from the other party, vast as an abyss yet sharing the same Origin as her own, and her heart was filled with both excitement and trepidation.

"Lin Qingyi... Good." The ancient woman nodded slightly, just about to say something more.

...

Just at the moment the Divine Source shattered and the ancient woman awoke!

A unique "Flying Immortal Dao Rhyme," which could only be perceived by those with the same Rank of Physique or who practiced special Cultivation Techniques, was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake. Centered on the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, it spread out with a boom. Although weak, it was precisely transmitted to the senses of certain ancient existences.

Two vast realms not too far from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone—the Immortal Jiang Family and the Immortal Xiao Family—reacted almost simultaneously.

In the ancestral land of the Jiang Family, inside an ancient bronze hall floating in a sea of purple clouds, an old man wearing Bagua Dao robes who had been closing his eyes to deduce heavenly secrets suddenly opened his eyes, shock and disbelief flashing within them.

"This aura... is the 'First-Generation Flying Immortal'?! Didn't she pass away long ago during the ancient turmoil? Could it be... that she sealed herself with Divine Source back then and has been slumbering until now? And now she has been awakened by someone?"

In the ancestral land of the Xiao Family, deep within a complex of palaces built from countless divine trees, a burly middle-aged man with an aura as sharp as a sword and surrounded by faint Dragon Qi also stood up abruptly, looking toward the direction of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

"Flying Immortal Body Origin fluctuation... so pure and ancient, it must be that woman, Jiang Li! She is actually still alive! That item she took away back then..."

As Immortal Families with long-standing Legacies, both families had a deep connection with this ancient Flying Immortal Body named "Jiang Li," which involved ancient secrets and a major Karma.

"Immediately send people to the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone! Confirm the situation!"

"You must find Jiang Li! Be careful, do not make a scene, but if you encounter resistance... act according to the situation!"

Almost at the same time, two orders were issued from deep within the Jiang Family and the Xiao Family.

The next moment, several powerful auras rose from the two family realms, tearing through the Void Realm and heading straight for the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

The Jiang Family sent three Elders at the Peak Saint King Realm, and the leader was an old man with white hair and beard whose aura was close to the Early Stage of the Great Saint Realm.

The Xiao Family sent two fierce warriors at the Peak Saint King Realm, bearing the Dragon Blood Battle Body.

Their goal was clear—the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, and the newly awakened Jiang Li!

Han Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on a cliff at the edge of the forbidden zone, felt it almost the instant those two forces set out.

His deep gaze pierced through the Void Realm, seeing those Saint Kings who had torn through space to arrive.

"The Immortal Jiang Family... the Immortal Xiao Family... they were indeed alarmed." Han Xin whispered to himself. He did not get up, remaining seated as steady as a mountain.

He could feel that inside the forbidden zone, although Lin Qingyi's aura was weak, she was in no danger of losing her life. Moreover, there was an unfathomable aura beside her that shared the same Origin as the Flying Immortal Body, and that aura was recovering rapidly.

"Flying Immortal Body... ancient existence... two Immortal Families..." Countless possibilities instantly flashed through Han Xin's mind.

Currently, the situation inside the forbidden zone was unclear, the attitude of that ancient Flying Immortal Body was unknown, and the intentions of the two Immortal Families were unclear.

Rashly intervening was not the best strategy.

His Bingxian Domain expanded silently. It was not an attack, but rather like the most precise spiderweb, covering a large area on the outskirts of the forbidden zone, incorporating all spatial fluctuations and energy flows into his perception.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the variables within the forbidden zone to become clear, waiting for the people from these two Immortal Families to arrive, to see their true intentions.

If they were only coming to confirm and had no malicious intent, he would be happy to see it happen.

If they harbored ill intent and attempted to harm the Lin Family disciples or that newly awakened existence...

Han Xin's fingers tapped lightly on his knees unconsciously, and a faint, almost imperceptible aura of warfare and slaughter flashed across his body and vanished.
