Chapter 1417 Entering the Dragon Vein of the Nation
“Because the laws of heaven and earth in that place are so broken that even cultivators from the upper realms may not be able to survive there,” Chen Ji introduced.
Lu Yun and Long Dapao looked at each other and said, "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. Since I choose to go in, I am ready. Don't worry, Brother Chen, I won't cause you any trouble."
"Brother Lu, you're overthinking. What I mean is, if it's not necessary, it's better not to go in." Chen Ji said, "Years ago, there was a great man in my Xuantian Sect who went to the center of the forbidden area alone. Although he came back alive, he lost his mind and all his cultivation. Not long after, he died and passed away."
Lu Yun could tell that Chen Ji had said so much simply because he didn't want him to enter the Dragon Vein that protects the country.
"I appreciate your kindness. I will go into this life restricted zone to find out what's going on." Lu Yun looked at Long Dapao and Long Ying and said, "Let's go too. We won't bother them anymore."
"Wait a moment, the three of you. I'll go and tell them and then I'll take you there." Chen Ji said, "Since Elder Qin brought you here, I must also fulfill the sect's mission. In addition, I'll also take a few disciples to visit a few places."
"In that case, let's go together."
Several people left the room and looked at the magnificent scenery of the National Protection Mountains, which they could not connect with that kind of life forbidden zone.
"Look, this magnificent mountain scenery is actually a deadly place. Can you believe it?" Long Dapao looked at the mountain and shook his head.
"That's because you don't know enough about the underworld." Long Ying said, "In the underworld, there are forbidden places like the Tower of Death and the Infinite Hell."
Lu Yun knew that Long Ying was not bragging, because in the lower world, there were many places that had not been explored by humans, and it was not surprising that there were such places in the underworld.
After a cup of tea, Chen Ji returned, with ten disciples of Xuantian Sect following him.
"Sorry to have kept you three waiting for so long," Chen Ji said politely.
"It's okay, let's go?" Lu Yun said with a smile.
"Please, three of you."
Chen Ji walked in front with ten disciples, and Lu Yun and three others followed behind.
A group of people entered the mountains that protected the country's dragon veins, and only then did Lu Yun feel the difference from the outside world.
First of all, from the outside it looks like there is plenty of spiritual energy here, but only when you come here in person, do you find that it is all an illusion.
The spiritual energy here is so thin that it is suffocating, and apart from these towering trees, there is no grass on the ground, and it even looks like there is no moisture at all.
On the earth, wherever people walked, there was dust flying.
Moreover, not to mention small animals, even the sound of birds could not be heard.
Long Dapao just shook his head in boredom.
"This broken place is really deserted. Compared to the spirit world, it's just a wasteland!"
"This fellow Taoist is right. This is the so-called life forbidden zone. Only by entering it can you have the chance to see all kinds of strange and ferocious beasts." Chen Ji continued.
"I wonder what special abilities those ferocious beasts have?" Long Ying asked curiously.
"That's too many. Some beasts can become invisible, some can flash, and some can feign death and then be resurrected somewhere else."
Chen Ji listed many strange and bizarre examples, which surprised the three people.
"However, the most special thing is not these ferocious beasts, because there are so many of you. Maybe they will run away when they see you, but the environment in the Life Forbidden Zone will not change because of the arrival of anyone."
Chen Ji said solemnly: "There will be a sudden space crack next to you. The crack carries the power of space. If you are not careful, your body will be torn into pieces."
"Also, when you want to use water magic, even if you are standing by the water, you will find that it is extremely difficult to condense a water ball."
"If you step on the ground, you will not be able to use the power of the ground. You will also fall from the air for no apparent reason while flying. On the ground, there is a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, ready to eat you in one bite."
As Chen Ji described more and more strange events, Lu Yun and the other two were actually looking forward to entering the forbidden zone of life.
Two hours later, everyone had reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Unable to see the top of the mountain, Lu Yun felt a little depressed. At this time, Chen Ji persuaded Lu Yun and others to sit down and rest.
"Try to prepare as many spiritual energy-recovering pills as possible. If you fight the murderer, you may not be able to replenish your spiritual energy inside." Chen Ji reminded: "Also, I hope you all have your own means of saving your lives. Sometimes, you may not be able to help each other."
Lu Yun agreed with his words. There were many materials for refining Yuanyang Pills in his storage ring. When he helped the Third Prince's army prepare pills, he had saved enough spiritual herbs to refine another 300 Yuanyang Pills.
However, he didn't want to show the Xuantian Furnace in front of Chen Ji, as doing so would only bring him hatred.
After expressing their gratitude, everyone continued on their way.
Lu Yun suddenly discovered that he could no longer absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, and the same was true for Long Dapao and Long Ying.
He gave them a firm look and asked them to relax.
Long Dapao understood and nodded secretly.
After walking for most of the day, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain.
Chen Ji pointed to the right and said, "I will lead the disciples to the first area, which is also where the Xuantian Sect raises burrowing beasts."
"What about this side?" Lu Yun asked, pointing to the left.
"That's the tenth area. There are warning signs in most places here, which say something about the life restricted area. But after the thirty areas, even the great masters of our sect have never entered."
After expressing their gratitude, Lu Yun and his two companions, along with Chen Ji and his party, headed to the first area.
Lu Yun thought that he should follow them to take a look at the environment here first, and then decide how to enter the life restricted area.
Chen Ji did not refuse and led his disciples to the first area.
The area of the first area is not large. Chen Ji introduced it to Lu Yun and the other two, saying, "This area is mainly for training the disciples' character, because the power of the earth here has been reduced by half, and small beasts often appear, which are very ferocious."
"Then, the burrowing beast that your clan raised..."
"It's just to help the sect disciples gain experience." Chen Ji said: "Brother Lu also heard me say before that our burrowing beast should have been killed by the two ferocious beasts working together."
The group walked for another half an hour before arriving at a man-made house. Lu Yun saw that the outer walls of the house were covered with claw marks of ferocious beasts.
In other words, a ferocious beast ran here and attacked the houses. Also, he saw many traces of fighting here. Even the towering trees were broken by their sharp claws.
The extremely obvious marks were really shocking.
The disciples of Xuantian Sect dispersed and finally found the broken body of the burrowing beast a hundred feet west of the house.
