Chapter 270: Under the Heavenly Abyss, Within the Forbidden Land

Time passed, half a day later.

In the desolate Heavenly Abyss Grand Canyon, many heavenly pride cultivators either began meditating in place or closed their eyes to nurture spirit, essence, and vigor.

However, no matter what, they remained constantly vigilant.

The cruel world of cultivation: when you go out, you must always keep a wary eye, otherwise you could die without knowing how.

"By my count, the forbidden land's entrance should have opened by now! Why is there no movement at all?"

"Are you in a hurry to die?"

"Don't panic, let me tell you: once we enter the forbidden land, under no circumstances should we go to its depths—my father said there is a great terror there!"

"A great terror! You mean..."

Before that cultivator could finish, the desolate canyon suddenly erupted in a fierce wind, whipping up dust that filled the sky.

Above the void, heaven and earth changed color; dark clouds overwhelmed the sunlight, and in an instant the clear sky grew dim and lightless.

Vast immortal energy surged forth, shooting straight into the heavens in an instant, sweeping across the world!

This tremendous disturbance shook all the cultivators within the Heavenly Abyss Canyon.

"An omen! The Heavenly Beast Forbidden Land is about to open!"

"Absolutely! According to the family chronicles of this young master, my great-great-great-great-grandfather once had the fortune to witness the forbidden land's opening, and it was exactly like this."

Not far away, Qin Han, Ning Yan, and Xiao Xuan'er also rose to their feet, their expressions solemn as they walked toward the gathering crowd ahead.

"Is the forbidden land about to open?"

A glint of cold light flashed in Qin Han's eyes, and a long-dormant fighting spirit welled up in his heart.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, he has been engaged in bitter cultivation.

Aside from sparring within the sect, he had never truly enjoyed a fierce battle; today he could finally unleash his fists and feet.

"Senior Brother, after this period of bitter cultivation, how is your progress?"

"He must be very strong!"

Ning Yan beside him sensed Qin Han's surging battle intent and asked.

"Senior Brother's cultivation is becoming ever deeper and unfathomable! No wonder he's the core senior brother!"

"Since joining the sect, he has consistently overwhelmed me; I am utterly convinced."

Upon hearing that, Qin Han said nothing; merely a thought stirred, and his surrounding half-step Great Dao power flowed forth, flashing by.

"Half-step Great Dao Power! Supreme!"

"Silence surpasses all sound."

At this moment, the heavenly-earthly omen grew even more magnificent, and the wild wind howled beside their ears.

This region also fell into total darkness, becoming an endless land of blackness.

"Roar! Cry! Hiss!"

Just then, the myriad beasts' wails echoed throughout the Deep Abyss Canyon; countless heavenly pride cultivators' faces changed as they looked down in fear at their feet.

"The sound comes from underground!"

"Then it's correct!"

According to records, the Heavenly Beast Forbidden Land lies beneath the Heavenly Abyss Grand Canyon.

Each time it opens, it emits the myriad beasts' wails to warn outsiders and keep them away.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar came, and the entire Heavenly Abyss Grand Canyon began to tremble.

A colossal fissure tore open, and a vast, violent aura poured forth from within.

"The forbidden land's entrance is open! Quick—charge!"

A heavenly pride cultivator shouted loudly, and the surging crowd immediately became agitated.

"Opportunity! Immortal medicine! Immortal treasure! Right before our eyes!"

Thereafter, batches of heavenly pride cultivators leapt into the terrifying fissure one after another.

Qin Han, Ning Yan, and Xiao Xuan'er then came to the edge of the fissure and glanced downward.

It was bottomless, with only infinite violent energy rising up.

The three exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, jumped in.

Not long after, everyone present had entered the forbidden land, and the vast, desolate canyon fell silent once more.

At that moment, two figures walked from afar to the fissure's edge and stopped.

"Senior, should we enter this forbidden land?"

"I know a bit about this Heavenly Beast Forbidden Land; inside, immortal treasures and medicines lie everywhere."

"However, countless immortal beasts are sealed within the forbidden land, and it is said that a great terror lurks in its depths!"

"Wait! The great terror!"

"The senior previously said he intends to go and subdue that great terror!"

"As Ye Chen spoke, he recalled the senior's words—he had come precisely to confront the terror within the forbidden land!"

"Not bad, this is the place."

Beside him, Feng Qingyang lightly nodded; in the midst of darkness, his violet eyes shone unusually bright.

Upon hearing that, Ye Chen spoke again: "Senior, but I've heard that this forbidden land restricts entry to those who have comprehended the complete Great Dao power."

"If I recall correctly, that is the case."

"Otherwise, all the good things in this forbidden land would have long been looted."

"Of course there are drawbacks as well as benefits; without the restriction, the ferocious demon beasts inside the forbidden land would have long broken out."

"Including that terror entity, if it escaped, all beings across the Twelve Heavens Domains would suffer."

「It's fine, our sect will take you in; a mere trifling barrier can't stop our sect. 」

Feng Qingyang said calmly, the system is still quite powerful in this regard.

Great, with the barrier! A group of low-level cultivators holding immortal treasures—what can they use to contend with him?

The immortal treasures and herbs inside the forbidden land—they definitely can't use them; I can only accept them with a smile.

By then, the first use of bringing Night Dust will become apparent—helping to gather resources.

Of course, even without the barrier it's fine; my half-step three-turn Origin Immortal cultivation is just playing with you.

「Let's go! 」

No longer hesitating, Feng Qingyang flicked his sleeve, taking Night Dust beside him as they leapt into the rift, entering the forbidden land.

In an instant, the scene before them turned upside down, undergoing a world-shaking change.

Soon after, Feng Qingyang and his companion landed steadily.

What came into view was a dim, hazy sky, a violent aura mixed with an extremely rich immortal energy blowing towards us.

Immortal herbs entwined with immortal energy covered the ground, one after another.

In the distance stood many tall altars, and there were also some cave dwellings resembling nests.

「We really came in! 」

「I didn't expect that within the Heavenly Beast Forbidden Land there is yet another world. 」

Night Dust looked around, his emotions surging as he remarked.

The senior's heaven-defying methods are truly endless.

He can actually ignore the forbidden land's barrier—probably no one in the entire Lower Heavy Heaven can do that again, right?

「Let's go, we'll head straight to the depths of the forbidden land; there's nothing good in the outskirts either. 」

「Of course there are plenty of immortal herbs and treasures; just take what you need, after all 'your sect' still needs to develop. 」

Feng Qingyang likewise looked around, then withdrew his gaze and spoke in a low voice.

Afterwards he took the lead towards the depths of the forbidden land.

Hearing that, Night Dust nodded; indeed, the sect needs development—this is truly a rare opportunity!

He must seize it.

No, this opportunity was given by the senior; I need to collect more to give to the senior, not knowing whether the senior will approve.

Never mind! If the senior doesn't like it, the senior's sect disciples will surely find use for it; collecting more can't hurt.

Having said that, Night Dust hurriedly followed.

Moreover, as he walked, he placed the decent immortal herbs on the ground into his carried spatial immortal treasure.
