Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

At this moment, Lin Chang’an, with a black robe covering his face and bare feet, was walking on the scorching fiery sand, perhaps due to long hours of walking on it.

His feet were also tinged with a faint red, but for someone at the Tier Three Middle Stage’s body refining strength, it was only relatively warm, just like soaking feet in warm water.

The fiery sand, which could wear down Tier Three materials, could not cause the slightest harm to Lin Chang’an.

However, many cultivators within this secret realm were already suffering greatly.

But the cultivators who had also entered the secret realm each demonstrated their divine techniques, using their own methods to resist the heat.

After several days of traversing this Fire Forbidden Land, Lin Chang’an stared forward, his expression turning grave.

All he could see was a vast red desert formed by fiery sand, stretching out endlessly.

These granules of fiery sand were extremely fine, meaning they were sharper as well.

Such a bizarre scene, Lin Chang’an didn’t believe it was merely decorative.

"According to the information given by the Sixth Elder before entering, and the records of the Yin Soul Sect, this should be the fiery desert within the Fire Forbidden Land, where various poisonous insects hide."

For this first secret realm of the Demon Beast Abyss, Lin Chang’an had only known it through records, and this moment of personal experience gave him a firsthand understanding.

This couldn’t help but startle him, while the records of the Yin Soul Sect flashed in his mind.

"Such a remarkable feat, turning a blessed land into this form, could it truly be, as the Yin Soul Sect’s records speculate, that this secret realm is actually the Sealing Demon Altar?

The Five Elements Forbidden Land is this massive seal land’s geographical advantage, hence the current spectacle!"

These ancient legends and the speculations of later cultivators were beyond Lin Chang’an’s knowledge, but he did know that the cultivators capable of setting up such a secret realm were no ordinary people.

Perhaps even several Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivators working together couldn’t achieve this.

"Master?"

The Phoenix Cry Bird looked at the fiery desert with a puzzled expression.

But Lin Chang’an took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts in his mind.

These ancient secrets, even if known, had little to do with him; his primary task now was cultivation and searching for a Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Object.

However, he could use this place for the time being.

"This time, let’s feast and reach the depths of the lava mountains sooner."

The path he took was driving fire with wood, encountering this perfect fire spirit place; the Fusang Divine Tree naturally needed to take this opportunity to recover here.

And the lava mountains of this Fire Forbidden Land was where the fire elemental energy was densest in this place.

"Leave it to me, Master."

The Phoenix Cry Bird eagerly exclaimed; for other things it might struggle, but letting loose to feast was absolutely no problem.

And in the storage bag, the Cyan-Horned Bull could only make a low buzzing sound, yet it hadn’t thought of coming out.

Previously, it had thought of coming out, but this place, even for a Tier Three Demon Beast like it, was vexing and annoying.

Even having to continuously resist the fiery heat, with excessive mana depletion, its hooves would suffer wear and tear, placing itself in a state of continuous consumption, never at peak condition.

Every land nourishes its own people, the same goes for demon beasts.

"In this Fire Forbidden Land, probably only the fire spirit and these special demon beasts are suited to it."

As Lin Chang’an stepped into this fiery desert, with his spiritual eye, he saw the scorpions, ants, and other poisonous insects hidden beneath the desert.

A perilous place indeed!

Though a dangerous location, it also produced some special fire-attribute spirit plants and spiritual objects.

"Squeak squeak!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird disdainfully tossed aside a poisonous scorpion; apparently, it was too low in level for it to have any appetite.

Or rather, it had eaten so well lately that it had started to become picky.

After Lin Chang’an and the Phoenix Cry Bird walked for three days, surprisingly without encountering any major dangers, he frowned deeply.

"Something is indeed amiss; no wonder we’ve faced no major threat along the way."

Before them, a stretch of red desert seemed calm, yet beneath it, he spotted something unusual.

It was thanks to his spiritual eye, able to pierce mist and stone, to see below, unlike cultivators’ divine sense.

Most cultivators were accustomed to using divine sense, but within this secret realm, divine sense exploration was limited, resulting in many Core Formation Cultivators feeling restricted, with greatly reduced combat strength.

"Master, is there a problem here?"

Under the Phoenix Cry Bird’s puzzled gaze, Lin Chang’an formed a seal to operate the Earth Escape Technique, causing the sand and earth on the surface to churn.

Then, under the Phoenix Cry Bird’s astonished gaze, some leftover insect corpses emerged from the churning red desert.

"If my speculation is correct, this should be the territory of the Red Fiery Iron Ants, so there aren’t many other creatures around.

And as we’ve traveled along, without encountering major danger, it’s because the Red Fiery Iron Ant swarm here was massacred."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an was squatting on the ground, looking at the remnants of the Red Fiery Iron Ant he picked up in his hand, his expression turning grave.

Red Fiery Iron Ants, ranked among the top vicious insects, impervious to blades and spears, unaffected by most spells, capable of spraying a fire poison flame, which could corrode magical treasures.

"What is this!?"

Upon seeing a few rare insects amidst the remnants of Red Fiery Iron Ants’ corpses, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.

"Could this be the Soul-Devouring Insect, claimed to top the list of vicious insects!"

This insect could devour anything with spiritual energy, extremely ferocious, impervious to blades and spears, invulnerable to water and fire, continually evolving by devouring everything, with few means to counter it.

The reason he knew the name of this insect was because it was too famous in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
