the Immortal Realm in his original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly tore through space to reach the Donghua Immortal Palace, which had been relocated to the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly forced to relocate from Zhong Shen Zhou back to their original home was actually the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the Venerables of the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why all the Venerables in the Immortal Realm gathered in Zhong Shen Zhou was for the same reason, seeking the way to breakthrough the venerable and achieve Return to Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over countless years, they kept trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some followed the rules faithfully, while others defied convention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the unresolved puzzle of breaking through Return to Origin has been solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of the Immortal Realm are missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the problem that’s prevented anyone from breaking through Return to Origin for millions of years is identified, so it doesn’t matter whether they stay in Zhong Shen Zhou or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest factor is probably that for many years, the concentration of venerables and emperor-level powerhouses made Zhong Shen Zhou seem superior to the Four Realms of Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this kind of status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should be discarded when necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Eastern Emperor Xiang Dong was quite clear-cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the people under the Donghua Immortal Palace were very reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after they all returned to the Eastern Immortal Domain, these reluctant people couldn’t get enough of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Donghua Immortal Palace moved back, it just so happened to coincide with Chen Tang City’s massive overhaul of the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All walks of life, all kinds of high-tech facilities exploded all over the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donghua Immortal Palace, as the \"department\" that oversaw the entire Eastern Immortal Domain, was the first to be modernized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internet connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic energy connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personal electronic devices like computers, phones, and tablets became commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This and much more, making the Donghua Immortal Palace one of the earliest places to be modernized after the Cangming Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time others were just starting to touch these things, the people under the Donghua Immortal Palace were already very proficient with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even began to use mobile payment within the Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the successful implementation of mobile payments in the Donghua Immortal Palace, the Immortal Crystal Bank was established once the renovation of the Eastern Immortal Domain was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, the entire Eastern Immortal Domain truly stepped into the Information Age, and everyone in the Donghua Immortal Palace was counting more Immortal Crystals than they could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely establishing a bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, wouldn’t bring much benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But along with providing Donghua Immortal Palace with various bank-operating resources and materials, Chen Tang also gave them one way to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invest in whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it was Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing in the Eastern Immortal Domain that could be invested in was Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The choice was singular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it guaranteed profits and even substantial returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tang City’s overhaul of the entire Eastern Immortal Domain was colossal and needed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Eastern Immortal Domain was vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Chen Tang City had grown stronger and more powerful, raising its scale to the entire Eastern Immortal Domain led to a shortage of human, material, and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these can be boiled down to one problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lack of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was money, what could not be solved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a straightforward fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, almost all of the toll facilities in the Eastern Immortal Domain, whether directly managed by Chen Tang City or delegated to local management, are backed by the Donghua Fairy Crystal Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the initial Cangming Realm, in the other realms of the Eastern Immortal Domain, Chen Tang City essentially just provided \"technical support\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were in Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Donghua Fairy Crystal would own 99% of the shares in Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life and death of Chen Tang City would entirely depend on Donghua Fairy Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things are different in the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donghua Immortal Palace wouldn’t take a risk to drive away Chen Tang City who provides all \"technical support\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Tang City overseeing the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the employees at Donghua Fairy Crystal count coins day and night, and their wages are ridiculously high under the presumption of countless fairy crystals in the Emperor’s pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what’s even more critical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the various conveniences brought by modern life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, a hundred years later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even online shopping has come to the Eastern Immortal Domain, even going as far as to interconnect with the Southern Monster Realm, which is being developed and managed along the same lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"special products of the Demon Domain\", which used to require adventurous crossings of the Endless Sea to the not-so-friendly Southern Monster Realm for humans, could be delivered right to your doorstep the next day by the Venerable delivery man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting all these aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing arrived at the Donghua Immortal Palace which was completely transformed into modern high-rise buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stood at the entrance, the doorman recognized him at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy cow! Isn’t this Master Li!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old gatekeeper, who was originally sat on a reclining chair reading a newspaper, widens his eyes and quickly stands up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Li Jing gave a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, you just rest, I’ll go in myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew about Master Li of Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Jing himself was still not well known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Eastern Immortal Domain, very few people recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a hands-off boss, who hasn’t really run anything in the last century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past century, Li Lingyin, as the principal figure in Chen Tang City, has been very active, even becoming an online celebrity with live streaming today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her presence was so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People mistakenly thought this Deputy Master Li was the real Master of Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per Li Jing’s instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin didn’t clarify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This belief became the common consensus among the cultivators in the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such consensus does not apply in the Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing has been coming here often over the past century to consult on how to awaken the Saint using ancient books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone in the lower ranks of the Immortal Palace recognizes him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those at top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them had contact with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man in front of him was a gatekeeper indeed, but he was a gatekeeper of the Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not a low-ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is an actual Emperor-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he is one of the pillars behind the Donghua Immortal Palace, even stronger than Xiang Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone would ask why he’s guarding the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, good benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Donghua Immortal Palace’s demand for security forces now far exceeds that of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the current predicament where ordinary Emperors are having difficulty coping, the headquarters of Donghua Fairy Crystal Bank, which is now the financial core of the Eastern Immortal Domain, is located in the heartland of Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is absolutely indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, not only will the Donghua Immortal Palace suffer a heavy blow, but the interlinked economic system of the Eastern Immortal Domain, which has been painstakingly built, will collapse overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gatekeepers should naturally be stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging greetings with the old gatekeeper, Li Jing walked into the office building and straight to the top floor to the Emperor’s office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arrival, he frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful Primordial Spirit Perception told him that Xiang Dong was not inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released his perception outward, but he did not capture either Xiang Dong’s aura or traces of his independent world within the Donghua Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have come at an unfortunate time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s not a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Dong’s assistant was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he went to the assistant’s office, Li Jing raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear female voice quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing pushed the door and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s assistant sitting in the office at the moment was none other than Jing Huan, Xiang Dong’s only Taoist Companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she looked up and saw who was coming in, Jing Huan was slightly taken aback, and then she greeted him with a blossoming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What brings you here today? Little brother, why did you come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greeting such affectionate salutation, Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, I missed Elder sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jing Huan heard this, she let out a \"Oh\" and threw him a white eye while her smile became more radiant. She pretended to be angry and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m your sister-in-law, it’s not appropriate for you to butter me up like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she stood up and came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you come this time to flip through those old, worn-out books?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing shook his head, not continuing the joke, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came today mainly to ask Brother Xiang about something. It looks like he’s not here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Around this time yesterday, he took Xiang Jing to a newly opened hole in the Eastern Immortal Domain for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Huan nodded, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said he would be back in ten days or half a month, but I think it might take longer. My husband has been unreliable since he became a father. It’s not easy to explore a hole in paradise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Jing heard Jing Huan’s words, he suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, he took little Jing out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the \"person\" that Xiang Dong and Jing Huan had \"manufactured\" about twenty years ago. At that time, Li Jing had come to drink the one-month-old celebration wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say this couple really is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had been Taoist Companions for tens of millions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly they brought a life into this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Li Jing somewhat jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, he still tries to avoid killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that he’s unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that after all the considerations, it’s not the right time yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Yulian and they are busy with Chen Tang City’s affairs all day long. On the other hand, Li Jing himself is not yet mentally prepared to become a real father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the fact that he already has two adopted daughters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being a father, and adopting two daughters, are two different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And up until today,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing, Jiang Jingxian, and Liu Shi, these three elders have not yet ascended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing is planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he should give them the chance to hold their grandchildren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when they come, his children will already be dozens or even hundreds of years old ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Xiang Dong personally went to the cave to train his son, Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Brother Xiang is not here, I can only ask you, sis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Jing Huan asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ... interested in a Venerable or Empress from our Donghua Group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thought process is a bit... unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she think of that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his amusement, Li Jing said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to know about some forbidden places in the Immortal Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forbidden places?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Huan frowned, asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you asking about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m looking for something, a very important thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry I can’t elaborate on what it is, sis.

Even you, with your great strength, can’t guarantee safety. Think carefully before you decide to go to such places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Li Jing’s reply, she continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you came to ask, it’s clear you don’t know where the thing is. Do you intend to venture into each dangerous place one by one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing shook his head, explaining,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since they can be considered forbidden dangerous places, they must exhibit certain anomalies. I can use this to identify and exclude those places that are unlikely to contain the object. Then consider searching them one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereupon, Jing Huan nodded and pulled him aside to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are plenty of forbidden places in the Immortal Realm indeed, but there’re not so many that are untouchable for beings above Emperor level. Of course, what I know may not be everything. You may want to ask others afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, she took out a jade vial and poured two cups of Clear-Heart Tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s start with the one I’m more familiar with, the God Demon Forbidden Area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The God Demon Forbidden Area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its’ location is in the north of Zhong Shen Zhou, deep within the territory of the former Beiming Divine Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Huan began her recital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The God Demon Forbidden Area is fundamentally an ancient void battlefield. Even before the destruction of the Ancient Fairyland, it had already existed. Legend has it that it was formed when the Human Race’s strong ones repelled the invading Western gods during the ancient times, and the entire space collapsed. Because the spatial rules of the corresponding Earth Realm completely collapsed, it’s presented as an endless void throughout the years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need for me to explain how dangerous the void is. But what’s most dangerous in the God Demon Forbidden Area is not the void itself, but the countless western gods and demons and Human Race’s strong ones who fell in the void, leaving behind numerous powerful remnant souls and corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the void, the remnant souls condense but do not disperse and cannot reincarnate, the only outcome is succumbing to eternal loss. The powerfully strong corpses lying in the void simply will not corrupt. After countless years of accumulation, the remnant souls have long ceased to be remnants but have transformed into unknown evil creatures with self-awareness after their metamorphosis. The corpses also underwent various mutations over years, and it is claimed that extremely dangerous corpse gods, corpse demons, and corpse immortals have emerged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having conveyed a msg in series, Jing Huan added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t underestimate these ghosts.

However, it cannot be ruled out that he would hide stuff in there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone like Prajna came, they would not dare to tread rashly within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this merely stability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing inquired, his gaze fixed on an expectantly waiting Jinghuan, whose eyes were focused on his teacup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excluding the God Demon Forbidden Area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of the level above the Emperor Level, Zhong Shen Zhou has no other taboo places,\" Jinghuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are indeed some places that are quite dangerous even for those at the Emperor Level. However, as long as one reaches a certain level of cultivation and takes a stroll, the experience is generally more startling than perilous, which is probably not what you have in mind,\" Jinghuan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing frowned slightly at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the only prohibited place in enormous Zhong Shen Zhou just this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that a bit off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after giving it some thought, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shen Zhou has been the gathering place for the strong cultivators from the various Fairylands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dangerous places...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were tried and tested by the strong ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more dangerous it is, the more people would go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a lot of people have died...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the path of cultivation, danger and fortune always go hand in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowded with strong individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would miss out on these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person may not be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they form teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>aside from the God Demon Forbidden Area where death is unavoidable, all the other dangerous places would gradually be explored and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it much thought, Li Jing raised his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak about our Eastern Immortal Domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinghuan nodded and continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are principally three forbidden places in the Eastern Immortal Domain: the Slaughter Immortal Platform, the Punish Heaven Valley, and the Haunted Ground. These three regions correspond to the south, west, and north regions of the Immortal Realm respectively and are located near the Endless Sea surrounding the Eastern Immortal Domain. Due to their peculiar location, it has been surmised by our predecessors that these three prohibited areas are artificially created with some mechanism that connects them. However, over the many years, no one has been able to confirm whether these three prohibited places are linked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s start with the Slaughter Immortal Platform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Slaughter Immortal Platform is located on the side of the Eastern Immortal Domain facing the Southern Monster Realm. Similarly, it existed even before the destruction of the Ancient Fairyland. According to stories passed down from generation to generation by natives of the nearby Eastern Immortal Domain, the Slaughter Immortal Platform is a relic of the Witch Clan, and it has killed countless immortals from other realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing slightly frowned as he listened to Jinghuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Witch Clan? Immortals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t ask me about these,\" Jinghuan shrugged and replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let alone the Witch Clan, whose existence no one to date has confirmed. The term \"Immortal\" is completely mythical. There are so many people in the world cultivating the Immortal Path. Have you ever seen anyone who truly became an immortal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, she added, \"Based on folklore, the only thing that can be confirmed is that these ’immortals’ are from outside our domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded in agreement, and then asked, \"So, what’s dangerous about the Slaughter Immortal Platform?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinghuan instantly replied, \"The density of malice within the Slaughter Immortal Platform is so great that it can affect the minds of those at the Emperor Level and completely corrupt them instantly. I have no idea what exactly is inside the Slaughter Immortal Platform. Unlike the God Demon Forbidden Area in Zhong Shen Zhou, where you can take a look and then leave if you don’t fear death, the Slaughter Immortal Platform is not something you can even look at. Anyone who enters will perish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Slaughter Immortal Platform seemed excessively dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit instantly corrupted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a light breath, Li Jing asked, \"What about the other two places?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Punish Heaven Valley is quite mysterious, and no one knows when exactly it came into existence. It was discovered about ten thousand years after the people of the Ancient Fairyland gradually explored and moved into the Eastern Immortal Domain. Because it’s located in the north where it’s cold and uninhabitable, there are no natives from the Immortal Domain nearby,\" Jinghuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many folk tales about the Punish Heaven Valley, but their credibility is doubtful. The most outrageous version is that in the distant past, the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World fell there for some reason and got slaughtered by someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was speechless, wanting to say that the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World was alive and well, but then realized that the story might not even be referring to the one he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Tao can die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burial ground of the sky is the remnant left behind by the death of the Will of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the heavenly Tao perishes, the Tao will generate a new Heavenly Will after a period of evolution. It’s not like it would disappear after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Tao exists,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Will would always be there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Tao does not exist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the whole heaven and earth would also disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One point to note is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Taoist of the Big World and the Heavenly Will born in a person’s independent world and the naturally existing heaven and earth are different things. The level of the former is much higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much higher it is,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is hard to estimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thing that can be pointed out is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Heavenly Will in an independent world can do depends on how strong the person who created the heaven and earth is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",3668,"2026-06-06T07:42:17.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","91df00bb51a637b882ce2e9d57a6c9058f2258a6190a5eb1bb2e6f6363f9899c","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-644","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-642",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
