YM778.TV Chapter 343 - 350: The More You Talk About This
Translator: 549690339
All along, Yang Zhen wanted to live freely and unapologetically. To live without any real concerns, not giving a damn even about divine providences. And he had managed it quite gracefully so far.
But now, with Hua Youyue harboring what could only be described as a mystery in her heart, which could only be unraveled once she entered the Forbidden Land of Life, Yang Zhen couldn’t quite comprehend the feeling. However, he could well imagine it was a pain.
Yang Zhen had asked Hua Youyue about her suspicions but she couldn’t articulate them. All she knew was an urgent need to enter the Forbidden Land of Life.
“Then let’s go!”
Yang Zhen said with a smirk. If so many others weren’t afraid, then why should he be the only one to fear dying? Besides, in death, the spirit ascends to heavens. If not met with death, one can live for thousands of years. What was there to be scared of after all?
A radiant smile appeared on Hua Youyue’s face as she looked at Yang Zhen and said softly, “Promise me, if danger arises, you will leave at once!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He nodded and replied, “The same goes for you, missy. If it’s risky, then it’s better to get out, think over it, and then go back in. Don’t be reckless!”
This was a rare sober piece of advice from Yang Zhen. Hua Youyue nodded and then turned to ask the Palace Master, “Palace Master Liu, you mentioned earlier that even with your cultivation, you could not penetrate a hundred feet into it?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen was also taken aback. Although Hua Youyue and Old Man Yao had previously explained the danger of the Forbidden Land of Life without mentioning the inability to enter.
Had something changed in the Forbidden Land of Life now that even those in the Tribulation Crossing Period couldn’t enter?
Palace Master Liu nodded and said thoughtfully, “This is the most pressing issue that we summoned everyone to discuss. After our studies with the previous Palace Masters, this change seems to be due to the triggering of some restriction within the Forbidden Land of Life, but it is not impossible to crack!” “What do you mean?” Yang Zhen watched Palace Master Liu bizarrely. The old geezer was speaking slowly but deliberately and kept them all in suspense which was really frustrating.
Palace Master Liu chuckled, saying, “Young man, be patient. This change is not harmful to you, in fact, it could be a great opportunity.”
“What?” Mo Xueling was taken aback and asked bizarrely, “Could this restriction be preventing those with a cultivation beyond the Tribulation Crossing Period from entering?”
Palace Master Liu looked at Mo Xueling in surprise, praising her, “Worthy of being the successor of Ink Pool Peak, to be able to think of this.”
Feeling everyone’s gaze on her, Mo Xueling laughed before saying, “I have only heard of such nature-restricted prohibition in some ancient texts. It is used to restrict those with power of a certain realm from entering. The prohibition was set up either to protect something within or there is another reason…” Sweeping her gaze over everyone, she took a deep breath before saying, “The other reason may be to maintain the balance of nature!”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen was startled again and blurted out, “Hell, we’re not gonna step into the Forbidden Land of Life just for it to collapse immediately, are we? Wouldn’t that mean we are all dead meat?”
The collapse of nature was no joking matter. If crossing tribulations was like playing with death, then a natural collapse was essentially a fate worse than death. This had nothing to do with one’s level of cultivation or their luck.
Even the most powerful beings who can’t seem to die, if they were swallowed up by the void turbulence during a natural collapse, they would be doomed to float eternally in the void, enduring the excruciating pain of being shredded by space debris year after year.
The thought of this was indeed scary as hell!
This place was getting scarier. If it weren’t for the fact that the girl had to go there, Yang Zhen would have definitely turned around and left just upon hearing this.
Only a fool would try entering such dangerous places instead of enjoying the world that was safe and sound.
However, the scarier it got, the more curious Yang Zhen became. What kind of place was it exactly? So mysterious and filled with perilous existences?
What was the Forbidden Land of Life actually prohibiting and protecting? What happened that resulted in this change?
Most importantly, what was Hua Youyue’s confusion all about?
Why did they have to enter the Forbidden Land of Life to find the answers?
The gossip flame in Yang Zhen’s heart raged on, it simply couldn’t be extinguished no matter how hard he tried.
Thinking this way, it seemed quite interesting.
At this point, Palace Master Liu suddenly shook his head and said, “The heavens and the earth aren’t so easily destroyed. The conclusion we’ve reached is that within the Forbidden Land of Life, there seems to be something being preserved. The anomaly this time around is caused by some kind of change within this preserved element. Using some formations and the power of Tribulation Crossing Period strengtheners, we can send in a group of people!” Hearing this, Yang Zhen finally understood, he looked at Palace Master Liu and asked, “How many people can you send in?”
Palace Master Liu hesitated, looked at Yang Zhen, sighed and said, “Approximately a thousand.”
Yang Zhen looked at Palace Master Liu with a smile that was not quite a smile, and said, “So you’re saying, once we enter, we’re left to our own fates?”
Palace Master Liu frowned, seeming somewhat solemn, but nodded and said, “You can voluntarily choose whether to enter or wait outside.”
Yang Zhen gave Palace Master Liu a blank look. He was determined to enter. Moreover, the fact that these Tribulation Crossing Period strong people were making such a great effort to send them in couldn’t possibly be out of pure kindness or idleness.
As expected, after letting everyone decide freely, Palace Master Liu kept Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue back.
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue exchanged a glance, chuckled as they looked at Palace Master Liu, and said boldly, “Out with it then. With all this fanfare, formations, alliances, and everything, what do you really want?”
With a hearty laugh, Palace Master Liu said, “As expected, I can’t fool you.”
Yang Zhen sneered, “It’s not about deceiving or not deceiving, this is all out in the open, who do you think allows the formation and energy stones?”
“Since that’s the case, the palace will be straightforward and tell you.” Palace Master Liu took a deep breath and said, “Within the Forbidden Land of Life, there may exist ancient heritages, and more than one.”
At these words, Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in surprise.
Not that Yang Zhen took particular interest in these ancient heritages, but he suddenly remembered something. It was after receiving the heritage from Evil Spirit Island that Hua Youyue had developed the absurd notion of having to enter the Forbidden Land of Life. This matter was very likely related to the heritage she had obtained.
What kind of heritage was it?
The cheap cat on one side failed to notice Yang Zhen’s expression, turned his nose up and said indifferently, “What ancient heritage is worth all this trouble to you? Old man, spit out the important bit quickly, our time is very valuable.” Speaking of which, the cheap cat lowered his voice, “Might as well have a big meal.”
“Exactly!” An annoying chicken seconded from the side.
Palace Master Liu twitched his mouth and instinctively ignored the cheap cat and annoying chicken duo. He looked at Yang Zhen seriously and said, “There are two things you need to be aware of when going to the Forbidden Land of Life.”
With a deep breath, Palace Master Liu said, “Firstly, Beigu Institute will definitely be plotting revenge against you, so you must be extra careful. Secondly, there may be a mysterious force that is also trying to enter, and we have no idea when they will enter or from where. If you encounter them, it’s best to steer clear of them!”
Yang Zhen asked curiously, “What kind of group is this, and how do I identify them?”
Palace Master Liu replied with a peculiar expression, “You’ll understand when you meet them, they… are very distinctive!”
Saying this, without waiting for Yang Zhen to speak, Palace Master Liu took a deep breath, locked eyes with Yang Zhen, and said word by word, “We’re making such a grand display investing huge sacrifices to enter the Forbidden Land of Life, because… within it, Existential secrets may be hidden, and there could even be news of judgment day.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present recoiled with shock..
