Chapter 250 The Secret of the Forbidden Land

A large group of cultivators including Zhong Wu from Lingshou Mountain were fleeing in panic, being chased by the Black Vulture that was following them.

The Black Spirit Vulture is one of the few native monster beasts in the Blood Forbidden Land that has exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage. Perhaps because it cultivated and broke through in the forbidden land, it was accepted by the forbidden land by default and was not teleported out of the forbidden land because of its excessive cultivation.

Normally they were hidden high up in the circular mountains above the fog, but today they suddenly appeared near the bronze gate for unknown reasons.

Fortunately, the black vulture seemed to be in a good mood and had no intention of hunting on a large scale. After teasing the monks who were running around in a panic, it captured the two unlucky ones who were left at the end, and then flapped its huge wings and flew to the top of the crater.

The monks breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had escaped from danger. If the Black Vulture went crazy, none of them would have been able to escape.

Zhong Wu said angrily,

"I'm so pissed! It's all the fault of those four guys. They lay in ambush outside for so long before coming in, causing us to run into this black vulture. Next time I see them, I'll teach them a lesson."

"Oh, right! Where's Jin Guang? Among the four people just now, one is a disciple of Huangfeng Valley. Do you know him?"

When Master Jin Guang was pointed out, he quickly denied it.
"I don't know them. I have only been in the Yellow Maple Valley for two years. I don't know most of the disciples very well."

"However, before entering this bloody forbidden land, the old man tried hard to invite me to join his alliance. I refused and he just said a few words. Haha, Senior Brother Feng, please understand."

The ugly man Zhong Wu said thoughtfully,

"Alliance? According to what you said, the three people with him should be his teammates, and it seems that two of them are independent cultivators..."

Then he took out a jade slip from his bosom, placed it on his forehead and sensed it silently, then sneered complacently,

"Haha, I found them! Number 23 and Number 62! Their heart-eating mother insects are all here with me. If I see them again, I will make them feel the pain of having their hearts and bones eaten away. Hahahaha..."

Most of the cultivators following him were independent cultivators. They shuddered when they heard Zhong Wu's words. They were probably also suffering from the heart-eating insects at his hands.

After Zhong Wu laughed wildly, he gave orders to the people around him,
"Let's go! Keep blocking the door and grabbing ideas. When the second layer of fog opens tomorrow, it will be time for me, Zhong Wu of Lingshou Mountain, to show my power. Hahahaha."

……

On the other side, Xiang Zhili, along with Mo Juren and four others, fled towards the bronze door in the stone wall.

Mo Juren followed behind, thinking back on what had just happened, and felt somewhat confused.

Whether it was the spirit bird that suddenly broke through the ambush, the black spirit eagle that caused great chaos, or the stone that just happened to block Zhong Wu's two flying snakes, everything was too coincidental to be believed.

Therefore, he became more wary of Xiang Zhili, who looked unprepossessing.

However, Wuermo and Zhuang Renhe were extremely grateful to Xiang Zhili for helping them escape. If they had fallen into the hands of the ugly man from Lingshou Mountain, they had no idea what would have happened to them.

The two of them apologized repeatedly for their previous impulsiveness, and claimed that they would never oppose Xiang Zhili's decision again and would follow him obediently.

Although Mo Juren did not have the ability to change his expression as quickly as the other two, he also wanted to see what Xiang Zhili was up to, so naturally he did not say much.

So Xiang Zhili took the three of them and came to a mysterious area outside the center of the forbidden area.

This place is located right below the stone wall that separates the inside and outside, and is far from the bronze doors on both sides. It should be the place least visited by the trial monks. Compared to the lush and green environment in the forbidden area, this place is more like a desolate place. There are no plants around, and the ground is covered with gravel and stones.

Moreover, in the middle of this wasteland, there are irregularly scattered lumps of round stone drum-like lumps of sand and gravel, making it difficult to tell whether they are naturally formed or man-made.

When they arrived at the place, Xiang Zhili said to Mo Juren and the others,

"Many people know that the central area within the stone wall is the real forbidden area of ​​this place. Who wouldn't want to go in and have a good look? In fact, I didn't agree to break into that bronze door before."

"Besides being afraid of an ambush, the more important reason is that I, old man, actually know of another secret way that leads directly to the forbidden area..."

Wuermo and Zhuang Renhe's eyes lit up again when they heard this, and they quickly praised him,

"I see! Fellow Daoist Xiang is truly a man of great power. Oh, it was all our fault before that we didn't understand Fellow Daoist Xiang's painstaking efforts. I wonder where that place is?"

Xiang Zhili pointed to the wasteland and said proudly,

"It's right here!"

Mo Juren heard this and closed his eyes slightly, paying close attention to the sand and stones in the middle of the wasteland, while Wuermo was a little confused.
"Here? This is a barren wasteland with no one around. Is there anything special about it?"

The ritual to the gods is mysterious and mysterious.
"Hey, don't be impatient. While there is still some time before the secret passage appears, I, the old man, will tell you the secrets of this bloody forbidden land..."

Then Wuermo and Zhuang Renhe came over, and Mo Juren also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

It turns out that this bloody forbidden area was first discovered by a Yuanying cultivator from the State of Yue. However, because there is always a powerful ancient restriction with wind attributes outside the forbidden area that has been closing and protecting it, even the Yuanying cultivator himself cannot break it.

So in the end, the monk told the secret of this place to all the sects in Yue State, and let everyone work together to study how to crack it.

Later, it was accidentally discovered by the cultivators of Yue State that the ancient forbidden spell would have a five-day weakening period every five years. During this period, if several cultivators above the Jindan stage cast spells together to forcibly break the ban, a passage could be temporarily opened.

The passage allows cultivators to enter and exit, but there are cultivation level restrictions inside the forbidden area, and cultivators above the Qi Refining stage cannot enter at all.

After the seven major sects let some brave Qi-refining monks go in to explore the way, they finally learned that it was an ancient monk's residence, and that a large number of ancient spiritual medicines were growing there, including several main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill that had long been extinct outside, such as Jade Marrow Ganoderma, Purple Monkey Flower, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

Later on, the seven major sects took complete control of this place, and used the elixirs produced here to create a large number of foundation-building pills, consolidating the foundation for the development of the seven major sects.

As more and more monks were sent in, the terrain of the entire forbidden area was gradually explored. The entire forbidden area was divided into a central area and a peripheral area, and the central area was divided into three layers.

The first level is just inside the wall, and the medicinal herbs in it have been picked up over the years.

The second layer is a circular mountain range, but it is always covered by a cloud of fog, making it impossible to enter. Until more than a hundred years ago, the masters of the Yanyue Sect refined a magic weapon called "Yueyang Pearl" that can be used by Qi Refining monks.

With the help of this gem, the monks of Yanyue Sect finally broke through the fog and entered the second level in one fell swoop, seizing a large amount of resources. This led to the sudden rise of Yanyue Sect and made it the number one sect in Yue State.

Later, the seven major sects found out about this and attacked together, forcing the Yanyue Sect to take out the Yueyang Orb and let the seven major sects take turns to control it. Only then did the dispute calm down...
