Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Lin Chang’an was not surprised, after all, they had a plan before they came.

The unfortunate thing was that he had hoped with some luck they might meet early in the Five Elements Forbidden Land and then join forces to come out together, but they ended up waiting until the very end.

Along the way, they encountered some cultivators, but there was more mutual caution and vigilance rather than malicious intent.

After all, who knows what unexpected changes might occur at the last moment in the Five Elements Forbidden Land.

Finally, Lin Chang’an rode the Cyan-Horned Bull, carrying the sword servant, and slowly passed through the Ice Mega Gate.

...

A vast and ancient stone hall appeared in view.

However, this enormous stone hall was surrounded by an abyss as deep as ten thousand feet, and the grand hall was square with four large doors accessible.

Yet, at this moment, the grand hall’s door was tightly closed, as if the time had not arrived.

On each giant stone, the different powers were distinctly separated.

At the east gate, aside from the Grand Elder, Sixth Elder, and True Monarch Lu of Bihai Palace, there was Jin Kaishan, the body cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, making it a team of four people.

The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators were mostly some neutral, loose cultivators, gathering in twos and threes for seemingly idle chatter, yet actually banding together to avoid being targeted by Bihai Palace.

Clearly, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sixteen Sea Suppression Sects and other forces were at the directions of the other three gates.

"Nine Tier Three Upper Grade Array Masters, now only three have come out, it seems your Bihai Palace’s choice in people isn’t that great."

Jin Kaishan, who was brawny like a small giant, sat domineeringly on a giant stone, watching the number of people coming out with a teasing expression.

And this high-and-mighty Sixth Elder, rarely he showed a touch of embarrassment and anger.

This Jin Manzi truly shows no courtesy.

"Mr. Jin, it’s not even time yet, the maze grand hall hasn’t opened, what’s the hurry?"

Next to him, True Monarch Lu was observing the cultivators coming out with a smiling face, but his heart was full of worry.

"However, Grand Elder, according to the cultivators who came out, there seems to be an anomaly in the last Ice Forbidden Land."

The Five Elements Forbidden Land, also known as the Mutated Five Elements Forbidden Land.

The last time they came here, the final Ice Forbidden Land caused him a lot of trouble.

The Grand Elder, in his gold-embroidered white robe, raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, seemingly unconcerned, instead calmly saying:

"That is also a good thing, at least there are one or two tenths more survivors compared to the past."

This nonchalant response made True Monarch Lu nod and stroke his long beard with a smile, though he was secretly pondering.

These Core Formation cultivators may not know, but for Nascent Soul cultivators, it’s different.

"On the path of the Five Elements, only the Ice Forbidden Land has a problem, could it be that someone obtained the heavy ice treasure of this Secret Realm during its last opening?"

True Monarch Lu speculated secretly, knowing that this Secret Realm is used to suppress the Land of Demon Abyss, and the Five Elements Forbidden Land suppresses, it certainly represents five treasures of the five attributes.

The weakening of the Ice Forbidden Land likely means someone took the ice attribute treasure from the Secret Realm last time.

"Who could have obtained the treasure during the last opening of the Secret Realm?"

True Monarch Lu couldn’t help but ponder secretly, and many Nascent Soul cultivators were also speculating secretly.

This scene left the Sixth Elder silent, as he knew little due to insufficient strength, only the Grand Elder coldly laughing in his mind.

The ice treasure was naturally obtained by their Bihai Palace the last time, taken by the Second Palace Master who forcefully suppressed his cultivation through a secret technique.

However, their Second Palace Master was more sophisticated, even with a treasure that enticed even the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he remained unmoved.

He went as far as splitting the treasure in two, setting up a prepared trap, just waiting for the fish to bite.

"Second Palace Master, oh Second Palace Master, you really are willing, to split such an extraordinary ice lotus cold flame spirit object into two, leaving this cold flame for Old Ghost Xuanyin to find out.

This old ghost planned for three hundred years eagerly for it, not knowing from beginning to end he was merely a pawn of our Bihai Palace."

At this thought, the Grand Elder couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, becoming more and more expectant of the upcoming situation.

Colluding with the traitor Mo Sha to overthrow Bihai Palace’s rule? Let these people cause chaos first.

A bait that incites turmoil among various powers of the Outer Sea, while Bihai Palace sits quietly watching the tigers fight.

As for weakening the Magic Abyss’s seal?

Human greed, if you don’t take, others will.

But letting others take it is like letting them wield the knife first.

"Moreover, the Magic Abyss seal in the Demon Dao’s six sects’ territory has long been almost broken, with many demonic beasts having already emerged, yet it’s no big deal."

The Grand Elder sneered coldly, his eyes filled with indifference, let alone the fact that Da Jin doesn’t care about these issues, instead intentionally indulging, continuously weakening these lands of the Magic Abyss.

Isn’t all this for that elusive path to ascension?

If not for the tacit consent of these people, how could they dare?

And this secret knowledge has been passed down from ancient times by Bihai Palace.

...

A few more days passed.

"There definitely was a major event that took place in the Secret Realm this time, otherwise, the Ice Forbidden Land couldn’t have changed so much."

"It seems there will be great upheaval after this time."

"Hmph, what does all this have to do with us, without reaching the Nascent Soul, we’re just ants."

Amid the discussions outside the east gate of the maze grand hall, as people continuously arrived.

A low moo from a bull was heard, and Lin Chang’an, along with the sword servant, appeared.

"This boy."

Seeing another array master he had selected appear, the Sixth Elder’s expression clearly showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.
