Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Although the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has long been disturbed for thousands of years by cultivators, how could it compare to this place.

It opens only once every three hundred years, and each time it opens, cultivators are more eager to venture deeper in, naturally making the spirit grass and exotic fruit here richer.

"The poisonous miasma here is quite similar to the fog in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, except that this poisonous miasma is even denser."

This extremely familiar feeling made Lin Chang’an secretly suspicious and start to speculate; if there’s any connection between the two.

Then there’s no doubt it would be demonic qi.

But these are not things he can speculate on now; he should all the more quickly complete his task at hand.

"The fire attribute aura of the magic compass has started to react strongly, estimating that in a few more days we can enter the next area."

Looking at the magic compass, the fire attribute symbol flickered with spiritual light, indicating that he was drawing near to the fire attribute forbidden land from the wood attribute forbidden land.

In the five elements, wood creates fire.

"Master, there’s a large area of miasma ahead."

Just as they were advancing, the Phoenix Cry Bird suddenly flew back, excitedly pointing forward with its wings.

Lin Chang’an leaped up, then appeared at the top of a towering tree, and through the spiritual eye naturally saw a thick area of miasma in the distance.

"Avoid this place, let’s move quickly."

"No, Master, only at most two late-stage Tier Three poisonous insects in the distance, it won’t take me much time."

The greedy Phoenix Cry Bird clearly couldn’t bear to leave the easy prey behind, while Lin Chang’an was left speechless.

"Alright, let’s not waste time here; this secret realm is too strange, it’s better for us to conserve our strength."

Ultimately, under the reluctant gaze of the Phoenix Cry Bird, they had to give up the prey at hand.

Don’t think Lin Chang’an is at ease on this journey, all of it comes from his thorough preparation.

The deadliest poisonous miasma he is immune to; this alone has already doomed ninety-nine percent of cultivators.

Actually, many cultivators don’t feel anything at the poisonous miasma area initially, but as time goes on and they encounter poisonous insects, consuming mana will lead to the miasma invading their bodies.

Furthermore, he has intelligence from the Bihai Palace and Yin Soul Sect about the secret realm.

Not to mention there’s also the Red Fire Old Devil and Blood Evil Master’s firsthand experience from the last time.

"With such thorough preparation, if we still encounter various difficulties here, then other cultivators would surely meet a fate worse than ninety percent of them."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but shake his head; danger aside, most people came here prepared.

The Five Elements Forbidden Land is akin to sifting sands in a great wave.

"Master, it seems our plan to avoid trouble has failed."

While on the road, suddenly the Phoenix Cry Bird let out an elated laugh.

Looking through his spiritual eye, Lin Chang’an also saw a mass of poisonous insects swarming toward two cultivators fleeing in panic ahead.

"Why do I feel like you’re a bit happy about this?"

Lin Chang’an glanced at the Phoenix Cry Bird annoyed, and the Phoenix Cry Bird quickly shook its head, indicating how could it be this way; clearly, they just ran into us, involving us in it.

...

"Damn it, who told you to provoke these poisonous insects."

"You think I wanted to? This place is difficult to gauge with divine sense, who knew there would be such a swarm of poisonous insects hidden around."

The two Core Formation cultivators shouted angrily, for under the influence of the no-fly restriction, they could only continuously cast talismans to fight.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to use magical treasures, but the poisonous insects behind them could spit out horrific black mist capable of corroding magical treasures.

"Damn it, we can’t continue like this, or none of us will get out alive."

The middle-aged cultivator at the front had a flash of cold light in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, his own magical treasure wooden staff attacked backward.

However, at the same time, a cold light also came from behind, and both were taken aback, revealing expressions of shock and anger.

"No!"

Amidst the roaring of magical treasures, the one in front ambushed, while the one behind was also prepared; with resolute rage, if they were to die, they would die together.

Those who can enter the secret realm as Core Formation cultivators naturally have their methods, not easily injured.

But this mutual ambush from both of them caused a momentary halt in their movements, giving the poisonous insects behind an opportunity.

Hidden in the forest, using his cultivation technique’s advantage, Lin Chang’an’s form almost perfectly merged with the trees, silently watching from afar.

"Fight to the death!"

The overwhelming swarm of insects came, and in despair, the two cultivators no longer held back, casting their magical treasures in an attempt to find a way out.

At this moment, the two knew that combining forces would only lead to mutual sabotage, so they tried to break apart and flee.

"To hell with you!"

Their magical treasures exploded with terrifying power, coupled with various fire magic.

But from the shadows, Lin Chang’an saw everything clearly.

"Turns out they are Hidden Wing Black Insects!"

These insects were highly toxic and acted in groups.

Through Lin Chang’an’s spiritual eye, he saw the two struggling hard; however, the blood of fallen insects landed on their protective barriers and magical treasures.

All emitted ’sizzling’ sounds, spiritual light dimmed, flickering, and cracks appeared on their protective barriers.

"These insects’ toxins can corrode magical treasures and protective barriers, and when their toxic blood evaporates, it also produces a poison, making the cultivators’ mana run haltingly..."

Sure enough, under Lin Chang’an’s gaze, the two let out unwilling cries of fear one after another.

The next moment, their protective barriers shattered, and they were horrified to find that their mana was sluggish and hard to mobilize, a momentary lapse, more and more poisonous insects clung to them.

In an instant, their bodies were corroded by venom, exposing their bony faces.

Lin Chang’an had no intention of saving them, as entering the secret realm meant being prepared for death.
