Chapter 521: Forbidden Land

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After resolving this short storm, Ye Qiu continued to follow Gu Sanqiu to the most sacred forbidden area of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. There was a desolate back mountain with only a door standing between the two mountains.

It was Ye Qiu’s first time here, and he felt an immortal aura wash over him. He instantly felt relaxed and comfortable.

“Good lord, as expected of a forbidden area. This terrifying immortal energy flow is comparable to an immortal-grade cultivation ground.”

Ye Qiu was shocked. The entire forbidden area could be said to be the core area of the Dragon Vein. This was where the dragon’s head was. The immortal energy circling in the void was terrifying. If he cultivated here, Ye Qiu could guarantee that he would soon be able to open the fourth Heavenly Sanctum.

As a result, he was only six away from establishing the Ten Heavenly Sanctums. Of course, this wasn’t Ye Qiu’s ideal limit, but he had to achieve this goal first before he could explore higher realms.

Along the way, Gu Sanqiu had been observing Ye Qiu’s expression. He realized that he didn’t reveal any strange expressions from beginning to end and nodded silently in his heart.

“This child has an excellent temperament. He’s considered a top-grade jade. Looks like the First Elder’s decision is not unreasonable.”

He heaved a sigh of relief. He was more or less afraid that Ye Qiu’s strength and reputation were wrong. This was because in his position, it would be extremely dangerous if he did not have any true talent.

Recalling Ye Qiu’s indifference when he dealt with those matters just now, Gu Sanqiu looked at him with admiration and said, “Haha, kid, you’re quite steady. You didn’t panic in the face of such a threat. They still don’t dare to do anything when I’m here today. Aren’t you afraid that they will cause trouble for you in the future?”

Ye Qiu knew what he meant when he saw his half-smile. He slowed down and said indifferently, “Elder Gu, don’t underestimate me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Sanqiu’s body trembled. He had always felt that Ye Qiu was very unusual, but he didn’t know how unusual he was. Hearing how confident he was, he knew that he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Gu Sanqiu didn’t say anything. Ye Qiu continued, “I, Ye Qiu, have never been afraid of anyone’s challenge. If I didn’t have any true ability, I wouldn’t have been able to reach this step today.”

Confident and calm. When Gu Sanqiu saw that calm smile, his heart palpitated. This was what a true genius should say. He was unafraid of any challenge and dared to create miracles. It was normal for him to be able to reach this step.

“Good kid, I’m looking forward to your performance in the future.” Gu Sanqiu praised. He opened the array and walked into the forbidden land.

Ye Qiu followed closely behind. What he saw was a pitch-black forbidden wasteland. The shackles of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning were binding the ground. There was no beautiful scenery here, only endless wilderness.

“What a forbidden land!”

Ye Qiu felt deep veneration in his heart. He looked up at the thousands of miles of wasteland. A huge mountain supported the sky like a mountain. He was amazed by such a majestic scene.

On that mountain, there was a huge tree circling. Green vines spread out and firmly trapped the entire mountain. At first glance, it looked like the World Tree.

“Let’s go! I’ll bring you to your cave abode.” Gu Sanqiu said lightly and instantly rose from the ground and flew towards the mountain.

Ye Qiu followed closely behind and flew all the way to the top of the divine mountain.

As they walked, Gu Sanqiu introduced, “Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the sect or are extremely talented can enter the forbidden land and find a blessed land to cultivate in.

“Cultivating a day in this forbidden land is better than a hundred days in the outside world. The effect is excellent, so it’s also the most sacred place in my Heaven Mending Pavilion.

“The disciples outside are working hard to obtain a cave abode of their own here. You’re very lucky to be able to obtain a cave abode of your own as soon as you enter the sect.”

As he spoke, Gu Sanqiu slowly brought Ye Qiu to land on a green vine. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a hole appeared on the stone wall. There was a plaque above the cave entrance, but there were no words on it. It must be because there was no master yet, so the cave abode had yet to be named.

Gu Sanqiu continued, “From today onwards, this place is yours. You only need to name it on this plaque to stay.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu slowly walked to the front of the plaque. The material of the plaque was very special and incomparably hard.

Ye Qiu’s finger gently slid across it. He already understood that this wasn’t a simple plaque. However, this was not something that could stump him. He slowly circulated his energy. In an instant, a terrifying sword intent suddenly erupted from his body. At that moment, he seemed to have entered the realm of the Sword God, and his aura instantly changed.

“What astonishing sword energy. This kid is indeed not simple.”

Gu Sanqiu, who was behind him, watched carefully. At this moment, he finally saw Ye Qiu’s strength. He used his fingers as a sword and quickly wrote a few words on the signboard. He was actually so skilled in using that technique. Gu Sanqiu was quite shocked.

The shocking sword intent revealed by the brush technique was like a sharp sword hanging above the door.

“Violet Cloud Cave!”

Three big words appeared on the plaque. Gu Sanqiu did not understand the meaning of these three words, but he could feel the sword energy between the words.

“Good kid, I didn’t expect you to be a genius in the Sword Dao. I was wrong.”

Ye Qiu’s exciting performance really stunned Gu Sanqiu, who was also a swordmaster. He thought that without the help of a sword, he seemed to be unable to write these three words on the plaque as casually as Ye Qiu. His attainments in the Sword Dao were probably not inferior to his.

No wonder the First Elder thought so highly of him. If this person did not die prematurely, his lowest achievements in the future would probably be above the Dao Sacrificial realm.

Ye Qiu’s sword energy instantly attracted the attention of the people in the two cave abodes beside him.

“What a familiar sword energy!”

In the Qingfeng Cave Abode, a cold woman in white suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at the hole and felt that familiar aura beside it. Then, she instantly stood up, opened the cave door, and ran out. She saw clouds and mist outside. In the mist, she vaguely saw a familiar figure.

“Qiu, is that you?”

Lian Feng stretched out her right hand with a trembling hand, wanting to grab the figure in the fog.

At that moment, she was excited and could not calm down. It was difficult to calm down in a short period of time.

The person she had been longing for had finally come to find her.
