Chapter 529: Old Land, Old Friends, Old Stories

Outside Yinghuang Prefecture, on the black Forbidden Sea, waves rose and fell, and thick alien substances turned into cold, chilling energy, corroding all the ten thousand races on the sea. Even if the midday sun emitted heat, it could not melt the alien substances.

And it could not shine into the mysterious depths of the ocean.

Precisely because of this, there have been many legends about the Forbidden Sea for countless years, especially the stories of divine creatures, which are endless.

Only the major clans on the sea or high-level cultivators know that although those divine creatures are fierce, they are not invincible.

And the gods between this heaven and earth are not just the one with the remnant face. The most terrifying thing in the depths of the Forbidden Sea is not the divine creatures, but the sleeping gods.

Gods can sleep on the sun and moon, can rest in the Immortal Forbidden Palace, can exist in places of fierce danger, so this Forbidden Sea surrounding the Eastern Wanggu Continent is naturally a choice for gods to rest.

Especially... the Forbidden Sea is too big.

Just the sea area between Yinghuang Prefecture and Nanhuang Prefecture is incomparably vast, not to mention outside Nanhuang Prefecture.

In fact, even the sea area where Nanhuang Prefecture is located, compared to the entire Forbidden Sea, can only be considered near-sea.

The former name of the Forbidden Sea was the Endless Sea, which already stated its scope.

All of this made Jin Gang Xu Qing a bit stunned. He felt all this, and after bewilderment in his heart, there was also joy. Although the process was disappointing and the future life and death were hard to say, at least this tribulation today, he could be considered to have passed.

There were seven Life Lamps revealed, adding flames.

There was a grocery store here.

The Great Wing didn't speak this time. I wanted to say it, but felt that Fan Jin's emotions were a bit low after walking into the forbidden area, so it very obediently rubbed against Linger's cheek.

The Nascent Soul gritted his teeth, thinking of his instinctive response before, so he angrily raised his hand toward the oil paper in front of him, but when he touched it, it became incomparably gentle, treating it like a treasure, and held this oil paper ball in his palm.

He now has eighteen Heavenly Palaces, seventeen of which have formed Fan Jin, and he has experienced one heavenly tribulation.

He obtained the shadow here back then, so he wanted to bring the shadow back here again to let it absorb the alien substances of this forbidden area and see if it would produce help for the shadow's breakthrough.

This was the seventh time he had heard singing in the forbidden area.

The shop was still there, but the shopkeeper was no longer the original one.

"Is this big sister a partner from Linger Brother's childhood? He originally had huge emotional fluctuations, but after seeing this candy, he was immediately better."

Linger didn't care about these. He took out two pots of wine, placed one in front of the tomb, and held one in his hand, raising it high.

After all, the iron sign was enough to support his cultivation base. Even if it had been refined once, compared to the fish bone, the level gap was not big.

Until the dusk passed and the night descended, and the mist became thicker in the surroundings, drowning everything, a murmur from Fan Jin came from within the mist.

White bottom, red patterns, and a thicker murderous aura flowed within.

Therefore, he waited here silently.

Fan Jin sat silently on the side, leaning against a big tree, looking at the tombstone.

Linger muttered in his heart, closing his eyes to cultivate.

When Jin Gang Xu Qing's heart became increasingly sorrowful, a flash of decisiveness crossed Linger's eyes. He raised his left hand and pinched a formula. Suddenly, a piece of flame rose, instantly covering the iron sign.

That iron water was actually the true body of Jin Gang Xu Qing's purpose.

Until today, footsteps came from that empty street.

So today, Linger originally planned to release the seal for the other party, let him leave, and resolve a cause and effect. As for secrets, he had other means to prevent them.

Time passed. One day later, the Great Wing drifted across the ocean and finally arrived at Youlingzi. From afar, Linger saw the Blood Child where he had lived for many years.

So, he came here, with a heart of care, while slowly sorting out all this, there was also some expectation: would he meet the child brother in this place?

A mountain peak, although it was taken to Yinghuang Prefecture back then, had long been reshaped, everything as usual, only on the top of the mountain, there was no longer a blood eye.

"Tsk..."

"Under... Master is well... Mistress is well... very... you are powerful... useful!"

The shadow was frightened and shivering, quickly transmitting emotional fluctuations.

Although it was not flexible, with Linger's assistance, it could also kill enemies on its own, much better than before having an artifact spirit.

Jin Gang Xu Qing was startled.

In an instant, the white iron sign flew out from Fan Jin's storage bag, floating in front of Linger, shivering, and the figure of Jin Gang Xu Qing appeared on it, paying respects to Fan Jin.

"But I understand, I cannot hold you back. I am begging you, only begging the Master to give me a quick death, looking at the feelings of the small one working diligently for you these years."

Jin Gang Fan Jinfen's screams became increasingly miserable, scaring the small shadow to constantly twist and tremble, quickly pleasing the Great Wing that saw all this.

Until he left, there was wind, lifting the withered leaves on the ground, and also blowing the oil paper to sway, also falling on the Nascent Soul, shaking his heart and soul.

Linger raised the corners of his mouth, didn't speak again, and walked toward the distance.

That was the ability of Ding 187 Xu Qing.

That was his pursuit, and also his dream.

Its existence was too different compared to the fish bone, so the best method was to become the artifact spirit of the Thorn of Misfortune. Only by this kind of inlaying coat method could it indirectly form control over the Thorn of Misfortune.

Linger looked at this grocery store.

Linger walked step by step toward Fan Jin, until he walked to his side.

This sudden scene made him a bit unable to accept.

"Candy is so useful? Then I will buy some when I go back."

The Nascent Soul looked forward, didn't turn his head, just held the ghost sickle in his hand tightly, then slowly loosened it, and didn't speak.

It was not my former residence, but this street stained with blood back then.

Traveling with Linger were a thousand Sword-Wielders from the capital, commanded by Steward Daoist Sinan, which was the appointment of Sword-Wielding Palace Master Li Yunshan and Xu Qing.

One year later, they returned again.

Even though he had tried his best, he still couldn't keep up with Linger's pace.

This forbidden area has a legend: those who hear the singing and do not die will receive a gift from the forbidden area. When hearing the singing for the second time, they will see the person they want to see.

And it also has to ensure that it will not die in the future, and will not be swallowed...

Amidst this "ga" sound, the birds in the sky didn't dare to fly to a comfortable height, and could only choose low altitude, occasionally rushing into the sea, grabbing prey, and returning quickly.

Jin Gang Xu Qing's heart was already nervous and uneasy to the extreme. The feeling of impending disaster was incomparably strong, and his voice carried trembling, his heart full of despair.

After a long while, Linger withdrew his gaze and looked at the fish bone thorn in his hand.

In an instant, amidst the wails of Jin Gang Xu Qing, the iron sign fused by his two lightning tribulations began to melt, gradually turning into molten iron.

After a long while, Linger sighed lightly in the mist, kowtowed to the tomb, then stood up, left here, and walked step by step toward the depths of the forbidden area.

"Lei Dui, I miss you..."

The ghost sickle watched all this and spoke excitedly.

It seemed to form a world of its own, confronting the continent and the firmament.

And the Great Wing has a spirit; it needs to be controlled personally. As long as the power source is sufficient and under the blessing of authority, anyone can control it for a short time.

Fan Jin was silent. The mist rolled, and the figure of the Master was far away in sight.

Linger acquiesced.

This forbidden area master's eyes shone, and his whole body emitted monstrous fierce intent. Vaguely, a sharp zither sound came from the depths of this forbidden area.

Vaguely, one could see a pair of grass shoes stained red with blood at the edge of the mist.

"I... powerful..."

In the red eyes, one could see countless dead souls, and in the white eyeballs, there were endless skeletons.

Thus, it looked even more weird.

Back then, I only focused on the revenge after Master Bai's death when I went to Purple Earth, and ignored his life.

These shoes were the ones Lei Dui wore before he died.

Linger was a bit puzzled, swept a glance at the forbidden area, where the mist retreated quickly, and nothing could be seen.

Afterward, all this turned into a white vortex, from which struggling roars came, and the shadow's eighth-stage state was forming.

In mid-air, Daoist Daoist Sinan walked out from the Great Wing, looked at this forbidden area master, and spoke to Linger.

That laughter made the shadow also emit happy emotional fluctuations, but the next instant it saw Linger's expressionless face, and still shivered, not daring to show it too much.

That zither sound spread throughout the forbidden area, circling, causing the forbidden area to tremble. Skeletons walked out from the trees, and evil souls drilled out from the grass.

"This forbidden area is not strong, only half-alienated. When the alienation here reaches ten percent, it is a peak forbidden area. At this time, it is not something we can suppress"

, needing more manpower."

These stars were actually eyes, which emitted brilliant light themselves. As they blinked, they formed a flickering meaning.

Linger didn't pay attention to the shadow, got up, flickered, and went straight to the Great Wing. The moment he stepped on it, Daoist Daoist Sinan looked at Linger with deep meaning, and those comrades of his revealed smiles one after another.

"There are two human souls that have been sacrificed to the Father God, and I have the right to summon them."

"Great Wing!"

Marquis Yao, who was handling official business in the County Governor's Mansion, noticed it, raised his head to look, smiled, and didn't care.

"Taboo!"

Those shoes existed in Fan Jin's memory; I had never seen them.

And being so excellent, so upright, he was unwilling to deny that he was inferior to him, but he also had to admit this fact.

"Today, it is the second time I have heard singing."

But very strangely, this time, no matter how the forbidden area master gathered, the eight figures could not be formed.

"Roll back."

"It seems that regarding the details of Master Bai's death, after going this time, I have to ask Chen Chen Feiyuan and Ting Yu."

That sound turned into rejection and driving away, rising from within the forbidden area, and constantly echoed, forming lingering sounds.

The white vortex's range suddenly expanded, from a hundred zhang to a thousand zhang, floating in mid-air, like a white spot in the firmament.

That mist seemed to be transformed by its origin. Now that it separated, I was clearly clearer.

Linger was expressionless, raised his left hand and pointed to the firmament.

It seemed that it was using this method to swallow the authority of that forbidden area.

The beasts here were also like this. The wailing sounds echoed in the forbidden area, and the scavengers entering here, after feeling all this, all trembled and chose to flee at the first opportunity.

The shadow transmitted emotional fluctuations, quickly telling Linger its ability.

Linger's eyes turned red.

Countless eyes opened at this moment, surrounding Linger, and as he looked, they transmitted emotional fluctuations.

Infinite alien substances gathered from all directions, surging into the shadow, and the sound of chewing spread in all directions.

Here, it was the last stop of Linger's trip.

The robe was large, as if covering the forbidden area behind him, and with his arrival, the grass bent, the trees twisted, as if they were also worshiping him.

For Fan Jinjun, Yan Huang was not only the emperor of the Huang Forbidden, but also the emperor of the entire prefecture, and even the emperor of all forbidden areas in this prefecture.

After experiencing the forbidden area matter, he planned to ask if there was any abnormality before Master Bai's death.

Linger acquiesced.

The mist rolled, gradually about to drown the man's figure, and the repulsive force was also stronger at that moment, vaguely carrying kindness, as if looking for an opportunity.

A hoarse voice came from his mouth, from the mist, from the grass, from that entire forbidden area, constantly echoing, forming lingering sounds.

"Then today, take this place as the boundary. Do not go to the depths of the forbidden area, and do not go to the temple group. In other places, you can spread as you please."

The forbidden area trembled, the mist rolled violently. This figure about to leave paused, and when he turned, he emitted a safe fluctuation, staring at Linger, his expression a bit ferocious.

This forbidden area master's eyes shone, and his whole body emitted monstrous fierce intent. Vaguely, a sharp zither sound came from the depths of this forbidden area.

And the singing in the mist was gradually becoming clear, and the footsteps were getting closer.

Once Linger's words came out, his shadow instantly spread a hundred zhang, countless eyes opened from within, looking at Linger, transmitting emotional fluctuations.

The shadow trembled and spoke loudly.

The mist figure turned a deaf ear.

"Food!"

Linger was silent.

"I sealed him here back then."

The shadow here

also expressed longing emotional fluctuations toward Linger.

Since the legend of the forbidden area was to let people see the figures they wanted to see after hearing the singing for the second time, Linger felt that besides Lei Dui, he also wanted to see Master Bai and Eighth Master.

"Please reveal the figures I want to see. This is the rule of this forbidden area."

"Swallowed one percent, only then barely broke through, a bit useless."

Linger frowned. This time the shadow's advancement, besides the process and appearance being a bit weird, did not seem to be prominent in ability.

Fan Jin's eyes condensed, and he stood up, looking at the thousand-zhang firmament.

Eighth Master's expression was first a bit bewildered, then thoughtful, and finally fell on Linger.

Clearly, it had little interest in this forbidden area master.

And his eyes were even more ordinary, one red and one white.

The forbidden area master's eyes condensed, staring at Linger.

Bursts of white rain fell from the vortex onto the earth. Looking closely, one could see that it was not rainwater, but pieces of shadows.

But his politeness was ignored by the forbidden area master. The dignity of the forbidden area made the zither sound again, incomparably sharp. This forbidden area master's expression was cold to the extreme, and the cold voice echoed.

About one percent of the forbidden area emitted the shadow's aura, changing its appearance.

And its existence did not last long, only a few breaths, and it disappeared into the vortex again. At the same time, a Nascent Soul fluctuation dissipated from the vortex.

The zither sound stopped abruptly.

Clearly, this trip out was incomparably unpleasant for it, so it chose to close at this moment after saying everything.

Linger frowned, recalled the details of Master Bai's death before, and finally looked toward the direction of Purple Earth.

Linger's expression sank, his gaze turned cold, he put away his politeness, and spoke slowly.

"The dignity of the forbidden area cannot be offended!" After speaking, he raised his hand, and the entire forbidden area began to revive. Rejection and driving away erupted comprehensively.

I am waiting, waiting for the figures to appear here.

"Leave!"

At this moment, dawn was not far away. At the moment of dawn, Linger arrived at the place where he had fought with the Thunder Squad and the White Scale Wolf back then.

Even if the Forbidden Great Net in the sky and the pressure of Xu Qing and Daoist Daoist Sinan erupted at this instant, the violent intent of this place still rose.

"Master... I hide... shield... teleport..."

Gradually, Eighth Master's figure appeared in the mist.

After a long while, the voice rose again.

"Don't wait. Even if you wait until the end, it will eventually be a scene of emptiness..."

"This forbidden area will have gifts for those who hear the singing for the second time, allowing people to see the figures they want to see most."

This scene made Linger's gaze condense, looking at the forbidden area master.

"My request is not unreasonable."

The next instant, that forbidden area master's body retreated, instantly merging into the mist, and the thick mist here retreated quickly, gathering from all directions to the deepest part of the forbidden area, forming a sealing force, blocking the outside world and also blocking himself.

"Eighth stage, what will it become?"

Gradually, within a thousand zhang, it was pitch black, as if this area had been isolated.

There were abnormal grass and trees, occupying about seventy percent, and eighty percent of the forbidden area was filled with skeletons.

He thought of a sentence Lei Dui said back then.

Linger's expression was as usual, cupped his fists and bowed toward this forbidden area master, speaking fiercely.

The moment the feather appeared, the forbidden area trembled. This white-robed forbidden area master was stunned for a moment, struggled, and finally lowered his head, and the zither sound in the depths turned into a sigh.

These shoes also gradually retreated until they disappeared into the mist.

"Forbidden area... master..."

The forbidden area can be suppressed and sealed, but its dignity cannot be offended.

Following this, without waiting for Fan Jin to ask, the shadow that had turned into a white firmament showed its new ability. Only then did the thousand-zhang firmament appear with many stars.

Once the words came out, the firmament rumbled, and the thousand-zhang Great Wing descended instantly, emitting terrifying pressure, and Daoist Daoist Sinan and these thousand Sword-Wielders spread their auras, suppressing the forbidden area.

The tree was thick, the canopy was like an umbrella, and while the momentum was astonishing, it also emitted bursts of extraordinary aura. There were no leaves on it, but it was covered with red eyes.

I came to Nanhuang Prefecture this time, and the last stop is naturally to go to Purple Earth to pay respects to Master Bai and visit my childhood partners.

Linger spoke politely.

After a long while, under Fan Jin's "ga" sound, the hoarse voice of this forbidden area master echoed low.

The emotional fluctuations from the shadow were transmitted to Linger's heart and soul at this moment.

As for what would happen outside, Fan Jin couldn't judge, but no matter what the outcome, Xu Qing, who had the Yan Huang feather, would not suffer.

After experiencing the forbidden area matter, he planned to ask if there was any abnormality before Master Bai's death.

The figures of Linger's parents only formed an outline and then dissipated directly, while Master Bai's here, although the outline formed, could not gather, and finally could only dissipate.

"Yan Huang has an order: the Nanhuang forbidden area shall not be invaded, but those who invade the Nanhuang forbidden area will definitely be suppressed by the Huang Forbidden!"

Looking at Eighth Master, Linger felt sadness rise in his heart and bowed heavily.

Linger also smiled, thanked them, and turned to look at the depths of the forbidden area.

At this moment, those eyes stared at Linger, and were also staring at Linger's shadow.

"Come on!"

My words clearly gave the shadow encouragement, making the shadow incomparably excited. The trunk shook violently, and bursts of earth-shattering roars came from within the body.

Eighth Master smiled and returned the salute, his figure slowly blurring until he disappeared into the mist.

Linger opened his eyes and looked coldly.

As for what it did here, outsiders didn't know.

Just like this, time passed, and eight days went by.

On the grass shoes, the mist rolled, gradually forming a figure. This was also a familiar person. One could see it was a woman wearing a white robe.

Gradually, its aura became stronger and stronger, and the grass and trees it swallowed did not really disappear, but changed their appearance. The grass grew full of eyes, and the trees became coffins.

The

Compared to when he left, there were too many changes here. It was still prosperous, still quiet. When people came and went, one could see many boats of the First Peak disciples entering and exiting the port.

Linger did not speak, and his Nascent Soul was also silent, but his shoulders began to tremble.

Linger pondered. He had an idea in his heart that might accelerate the shadow's breakthrough. He could not do it before, but now he was confident.

"This further shows that you, Master, are an existence like the protagonist of a storybook."

This made me somewhat bewildered, and endless sadness rose in my heart, because all my efforts and all my bitter cultivation in the past were for the sake of one day protecting this figure who was very important in my life.

Many Sword-Holders outside the pavilion felt heavy-hearted after sensing it. Only Fan Jin, because of his physical body, felt pressure when holding it in his hand, but more of it was a sense of the same origin.

Linger lowered his head, drinking wine, one cup after another.

"Heavens, if we could perish together with a god in this life, this would be our supreme glory!!"

For cultivators, the difficulty of being influenced and forgotten would increase, but in the scavenger camp, the ability to forget just happened to wipe away everything.
