Chapter 281: 【Eight Forbidden Lin Xian, Never Retreating】 (First update)

"Seven Forbidden!"

An expert who had come to offer birthday wishes to the Feng Clan Holy Master gasped, seeing through Lin Xian's true realm: standing at the First Change of Dragon Transformation.

Countless geniuses of the Holy Lands changed color; the strongest among them were only at this level, or even worse.

Although they knew that there was a Holy Master of Ye Tianxuan beside the Holy Body and the Black Emperor.

They never thought he would be so strong; a casual strike was the limit they could reach.

"Even if it's Seven Forbidden, it's impossible to suppress a Dragon Transformation Seventh Change cultivator so easily..." A famous Feng Clan elder said with an extremely solemn expression: "He is wearing our Feng Clan's Wind Battle Suit, which is a secret treasure; his combat power far exceeds the same realm."

"Not Seven Forbidden, could it be Eight..." An old senior couldn't even handle himself, and was even a bit unsure, saying with a bit of excitement and fear: "Eight Forbidden!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves; the term 'Eight Forbidden' swept the entire scene like a storm.

Since ancient times, nine is the extreme of numbers; no one can fight across nine minor realms. Eight is the limit. Since ancient times, only a few heaven-defying people can fight across eight minor secret realms.

"To have Eight Forbidden combat power is enough to be called Emperor material!"

A well-informed passerby ancestor sighed: "Divine Forbidden cannot be seen; Eight Forbidden is the strongest combat power. One is qualified to step onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road and can be called a rising Emperor Star."

"The Northern Emperor Wang Teng is exactly standing in this domain, which is why he is praised by the world as an Ancient Emperor reincarnated."

"Eight Forbidden is already so strong; wouldn't Divine Forbidden fly to the Ninth Heaven." A sect leader of the Immortal Platform realm from a small sect asked humbly: "May I ask, fellow Daoist, why Divine Forbidden?"

"Divine Forbidden? That domain is not something we mortal fools can speculate about." The passerby ancestor shook his head and sighed: "Legend has it that only by standing in the Eight Forbidden domain does one have a chance to experience the infinite mysteries of the eternal Divine Forbidden domain for a fleeting moment, but one can never step into it."

"It is said that all human Great Emperors of the past only achieved Dao after stepping into the Divine Forbidden domain."

"If there truly were someone who could permanently reside in Divine Forbidden, it would be a Heavenly Venerable descending to the mortal world, a Great Emperor reappearing; even a Chaos Body reincarnated might not necessarily lose."

A few words made Lin Xian look sideways. Which old monster from a great sect was this? How did he know all these secrets?

The world thinks that above Eight Forbidden is Divine Forbidden, not knowing that the gap between them is like the abyss of heaven.

Only by personally stepping into the Eight Forbidden domain can one understand the mystery.

The reason is only two words: Permanent Residence!

Dragon Transformation Eight Forbidden and Immortal Platform Eight Forbidden—are they the same thing? No matter how brilliant you are, how unparalleled your talent, and how invincible you are in one realm, once you step into the next realm, your forbidden number will inevitably slide.

The further you go in cultivation, the harder it becomes. The barrier between realms is so strong it cannot be shaken; sometimes a difference of one line is a world of difference.

Secret realms like Wheel and Sea, Palace, and Four Extremities only have four or five minor realms. The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm has nine minor realms, and each layer of the Immortal Platform has nine minor realms, among which there are also Saint barriers, Great Sage barriers, and Quasi-Emperor barriers.

Winning against someone at the Eighth Change of Dragon Transformation while at the First Change often leaves one with only Six or Seven Forbidden when advancing to the First Layer of the Immortal Platform, and only Four or Five Forbidden when reaching the Second Layer of the Immortal Platform.

By analogy, someone who was considered brilliant at the Third Layer of Immortal Platform, upon entering the Saint realm, cannot even stabilize at One Forbidden.

The former genius, the existence of Dragon Transformation Eight Forbidden, the most brilliant person on an ancient star, the peak Emperor Star among peers, arrived on the Emperor Road and became a Saint, only to be eclipsed, countered by even more heaven-defying god-men, and become a stepping stone on someone else's Emperor Road.

Just as he had countered others in the past, he was ground into mud and dust. The terrifying enemy didn't even leave a glance, singing all the way to the Ninth Heaven Pass.

At this time, the Dragon Transformation Eight Forbidden genius finally realized that he had become the mediocre existence he once disdained.

So how does one maintain the Eight Forbidden level?

After Lin Xian stepped into this domain, he already understood it in his heart: cheating, only cheating.

Some things, if you aren't born with them, are hard to obtain later.

For mortals, it is wealth; for cultivators, it is constitution.

Only with constitution bonuses can a genius always maintain Eight Forbidden, with an eternal Dao heart, singing all the way on the Emperor Road, never retreating.

The most classic among them is the Great Emperor's offspring; the talent and bloodline of the Emperor Son level can be sent all the way to Quasi-Emperor Eight Forbidden.

Emperor Sons, Ancient Emperor Sons, Holy Bodies, Tyrant Bodies—all belong to this category, relying on bloodline and constitution to eat, maintaining it until the Ninth Layer of Quasi-Emperor. Further on, if one wants to achieve Dao, one must permanently reside in Divine Forbidden and create one's own forbidden domain.

Gu Gu Xinao, who competed with the Green Emperor back then, clearly realized this point. He couldn't compete in constitution with the Green Emperor, a cheater who transformed from an Undying Medicine.

After a battle with the Green Emperor before he achieved Dao, Gu Gu Xinao's Dao heart did not perish. He didn't stop cultivating and die in regret like Di Que, but went to cultivate again, creating a Great Law of transformation with a residual body, wanting to rival the Green Emperor in constitution.

In even more ancient times, there was clearly someone more sober than Gu Gu Xinao who stepped onto this path earlier.

Her name is: Swallowing Heaven Great Emperor!

The Dao of Heaven reduces the surplus and supplements the deficiency; the Dao of Man reduces the deficiency and benefits the surplus.

Achieving Dao by swallowing heaven, reducing others to serve oneself.

This is the best summary of the Ruthless Person's life. Situated in the most inferior mortal body, she harvested the kings of the great world to supplement her own deficiencies, finally leaping to become a Chaos Body.

"If one permanently resides in Divine Forbidden at the current realm, the Eight Forbidden bonus brought by constitution is useless and becomes a burden, then it must be cut off."

"The mortal body is the foundation—this sentence is correct."

"But, a more complete one should be: The Divine Forbidden Mortal Body is the foundation!"

"Discarding all constitution bonuses, no longer needing to borrow any external objects, including bloodline, including constitution, relying solely on oneself to stand at the very peak of the world, immune to all laws, indestructible through all tribulations, untouched by time."

"This is the true meaning of the Red Dust Immortal!"

"Achieving Dao and forgetting Dao, obtaining constitution and cutting off constitution—the Dao of Eight Forbidden, I have already understood."

Lin Xian's eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life as he looked at the Feng Clan divine island. With one hand, he suppressed the Dragon Transformation Seventh Change cultivator so he couldn't lift his head, and said faintly: "I am already Eight Forbidden; I should be invincible within Dragon Transformation."

"Who will fight me?!"

As soon as the words fell, rays of light rushed into the sky from within the Feng Clan divine island, with vigorous auras. They were all great Immortal Platform cultivators, and one by one, great experts manifested, not a single one from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Fighting in the same realm? What kind of joke is that? Are they playing house!

Of course, it is to cover the sky with one hand and strangle the genius.

Fighting in a smooth path, snatching Holy Master Lin's path, leaving Lin Xian with no path to walk.

"Damn it, no martial ethics, right."

Lin Xian's expression turned black. He only felt that the Feng Clan was truly a bit shameless. He didn't know who they learned it from. He had finally acted as a genius once, but they didn't play by the rules.

Since it is like this, then I won't pretend anymore; I'm showing my cards!
