Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

This Golden Forbidden Land certainly holds many precious metals, but for Lin Chang’an, he rather remembers his purpose this time.

Therefore, the Phoenix Cry Bird swiftly flew through this Golden Forbidden Land.

...

The cold wind pierced to the bone, covering the world in ice and frost.

Hidden within the snow were various ice attribute demon beasts, and the sky was filled with rampaging ice spirits.

"This Five Elements Forbidden Land is truly bizarre!"

Upon stepping into the last forbidden land, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown, not knowing what the cultivator who arranged this Five Elements Forbidden Land was thinking.

Using such an extreme and unconventional method.

However, from his perspective as a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, if this Secret Realm truly seals the Land of Demon Abyss, such extreme arrangement methods indeed maximize the power of the five elements.

"Mr. Ni Chang and Ling’Er have also reacted."

Halfway through the Ice Forbidden Land, he finally felt a response from the compass.

Seeing the spiritual light emanating from the compass in his palm, flickering with two light spots, Yun Yao also smiled.

In the Five Elements Forbidden Land, they had finally reached the end.

However, they didn’t know whether it was bad luck or what, as they only converged at the last place.

As for the previous convergence of the Five Demon Children, it wasn’t due to luck; instead, the five were born from the same parent, practicing identical cultivation techniques, and under the influence of secret techniques, they were as if one.

During transmission within this Secret Realm, they were mistakenly identified as one due to the restriction, so from beginning to end, the five never separated.

"However, this Ice Forbidden Land, compared to the jade scroll records or the last time it was opened, is noticeably weaker."

As he journeyed through, Lin Chang’an also frowned secretly, the extreme strangeness of the previous four forbidden lands still vivid in his memory.

And this Ice Forbidden Land, once recorded as extremely terrifying, had unexpectedly become the weakest, yet the purest.

Compared to the previous four, it felt somewhat out of place.

"Indeed, according to the old demon, the last time it was opened, this Ice Forbidden Land was exceedingly dangerous; why is it only purely cold this time?"

Although the roaring cold winds were bone-chilling, they made Yun Yao furrow his brows.

Initially, they could assume they had just entered the Ice Forbidden Land, but they had already traversed halfway.

"Brother Lin, be careful, according to records, this secret realm has existed not for tens of thousands of years, but at least several thousand years, and has never undergone such changes."

When something is unusual, there must be a demon.

Lin Chang’an also became more vigilant.

"Let’s converge first."

While Lin Chang’an, along with Yun Yao, prepared to reunite with Ni Chang and the Sword Servant, a second compass at Yun Yao’s waist also reacted noticeably.

This made the smile on Yun Yao’s face stiffen, eventually turning into silence.

"Brother Lin, wait for me.""

Lin Chang’an nodded lightly, understanding that it might be other cultivators from the Profound Yin Demon Sect sensing Yun Yao.

In the blizzard of cold winds, the two parted.

...

Days later, amidst the endless blizzard, Lin Chang’an successively met Fairy Ni Chang and the Sword Servant.

The Sword Servant, with the weakest cultivation, found the journey extremely arduous; although she was given treasures by Lin Chang’an, these were all bottom-of-the-chest items.

"Master!"

The Sword Servant’s face was pale, having consumed considerable energy throughout the journey, and even her Dharma Robe bore multiple signs of damage, all from the marks of magical combat.

Even the inner armor inside had numerous marks at fatal points.

"Encountered a few ignorant cultivators, but have since dealt with them."

Upon seeing her master, the Sword Servant’s icy face suddenly bloomed into a smile, disregarding her own injuries.

Within the Secret Realm, the Five Elements Forbidden Land was fraught with perils, but the hearts of cultivators were even more treacherous.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for healing my wounds."

Having converged earlier, Fairy Ni Chang showed a grateful expression and cupped her hands in thanks.

Her cultivation was comparatively strong, coupled with her cultivation technique’s power at the same tier, resulting in merely significant consumption along the way.

"Moo!"

Finally, the pent-up Cyan-Horned Bull could be released; at this moment, facing the biting cold land, it was completely unfazed.

The earthy attribute overcomes water; despite its mutation, the Cyan-Horned Bull’s petrification divine technique belongs to the earth attribute, while the ice attribute naturally belongs to water.

Through the Five Elements Forbidden Land, the Phoenix Cry Bird smashed through the four forbidden lands, leaving the last one to the Cyan-Horned Bull.

This explains why so many cultivators were greedy upon discovering the Phoenix Cry Bird in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region.

"Alright, we’re about to exit this Five Elements Forbidden Land."

Lin Chang’an patted the Cyan-Horned Bull, whose broad back carried the three, steadily traversing the cold winds.

The Sword Servant, too, rarely relaxed, and along with Lin Chang’an’s assistance in restoring her strength, she managed a rare, half-drowsy nap.

The Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger had devoured quite a few Yin Spirits in the Secret Realm but also sustained considerable injuries, while the other three Yin Sha Corpse Puppets, though slightly damaged, were still preserved.

The changes in the Ice Forbidden Land naturally alerted countless cultivators.

Originally, the most perilous slaughter was amongst cultivators, yet during the final Ice Forbidden Land, each kept their strength cautiously.

For fear of exhausting their mana in conflict, only to face difficult problems.

Half a month later, weaving through the bone-chilling blizzard, they saw a massive ice valley in the distance, with a sky-reaching giant gate sheathed in ice at its entrance.

"We’ve arrived!"

Upon seeing the gateway of the Five Elements Forbidden Land’s barrier from afar, Lin Chang’an finally showed joy.

And Fairy Ni Chang also took a deep breath, slowly donning her hat, disguising herself as a black-robed cultivator.

Then parted ways with Lin Chang’an, feigning to be a lone loose cultivator.
