Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Origin of the Forbidden Land

"Shi Nian, are you looking for something?" Mu Nanqing asked in confusion.

In recent days, Shi Nian would often suddenly head to a particular place and then always manage to find some nice things.

Even.

The Breakthrough Fruit that Mu Nanqing had been longing for, they had also found in a cave.

Near the Breakthrough Fruit, there was also a demon beast guarding it, which seemed very powerful.

But this demon beast, as usual, was all bark and no bite; Shi Nian resolved it with a single punch.

Having obtained the Breakthrough Fruit, Mu Nanqing had achieved her main purpose for this trip. Next, all that was left was to return to the sect and, with the help of some herbs, enable Shi Nian to consume the Breakthrough Fruit, using its power to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage!

After treasuring the Breakthrough Fruit and tucking it away carefully, Mu Nanqing completely relaxed.

However, Shi Nian seemed unsatisfied with this.

When they found the Breakthrough Fruit, Mu Nanqing was ecstatic, but Shi Nian seemed listless.

Afterward, she was impatient to move on to the next place again.

Mu Nanqing had been puzzled for a long time, which led her to finally ask the question.

"Senior Sister, these treasures are indeed nice," Shi Nian said. "But compared to the chance of becoming an Immortal, they’re nothing."

Mu Nanqing was stunned and then said, "The chance to become an Immortal? Shi Nian, there are rumors that within the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, there lies an opportunity to achieve immortality. But, that’s just a rumor. Whether it’s true or not, no one can be certain. We’ve already got the Breakthrough Fruit, why not just stay here, and when the Forbidden Land opens, we can leave naturally."

Mu Nanqing didn’t believe those rumors, but Shi Nian knew that the opportunity did indeed exist.

Otherwise.

Why would Li Nanfeng, who currently is as talented as her Senior Sister and evenly matched in strength, leave his Senior Sister far behind in the years to come, and even eventually ascend to the Immortal World with Yue Zhilan!

There must be an opportunity here, and a significant one at that.

"Senior Sister, this Forbidden Land may seem dangerous, but actually, the demon beasts here are very weak, not a threat at all. Since we still have plenty of time, let’s continue to search around," Shi Nian suggested.

She loved to take it easy.

But for that opportunity, Shi Nian was willing to go all out.

"That’s also true," Mu Nanqing also felt somewhat perplexed.

Almost half a month had passed since they entered.

All along the way, she watched Shi Nian take down one creature after another with her sword, and now without a sword, she did it with her punches.

None of those demon beasts could put up a fight.

"What you’re looking for is the opportunity to become an Immortal?" Lu Zhuoyan’s gaze flickered for a moment.

"Yes," Shi Nian admitted with some frustration.

She herself didn’t need it.

But her Senior Sister did.

If her Senior Sister could capture that chance, she would be one step closer to breaking away from the fate of a supporting character.

"In the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, there indeed are not a few treasures," Lu Zhuoyan spoke frankly. "But if you’re talking about the opportunity to become an Immortal, then there’s only that one place."

"Little martial uncle, do you know some insider information?" Shi Nian’s eyes lit up.

Lu Zhuoyan pondered for a moment, as if considering where to begin.

After a long while.

Facing Shi Nian’s expectant gaze, he asked slowly, "Do you know the origin of this Myriad Magic Forbidden Land?"

Shi Nian shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Lu Zhuoyan did not mind and continued, "Tens of thousands of years ago, an Immortal, employing some unknown method, broke through the barriers between two realms and arrived in the Human World from the Immortal World. The place where this Immortal landed was a gathering ground for Demon Beasts. Several Supremes of the Demon Clan quickly discovered the Immortal’s presence. They welcomed the Immortal into their clan and fawned over him. During their interactions, one particularly perceptive Demon Clan Supreme sensed that the Immortal was not in peak condition; on the contrary, he was quite injured."

Lu Zhuoyan narrated leisurely, as if he was telling a story.

Both Shi Nian and Mu Nanqing were mesmerized by his words.

"And then?" Shi Nian pressed on.

Lu Zhuoyan laughed scornfully, "What do you think would happen if a severely wounded tiger wandered into a flock of sheep?"

"At first, the sheep might be scared, might be wary. But once they realize that the tiger is not as strong as they imagined, they will start scheming, they will test, and they may even... show their fangs. Those several Demon Clan Supremes joined forces and suddenly made a move against the Immortal. This Myriad Magic Forbidden Land was originally an enormous Array they laid out specifically to suppress some abilities of the Immortal. Therefore, you should also feel that this Forbidden Land is very friendly to Demon Beasts, but it imposes various restrictions on Human Cultivators."

"Restrictions?" Shi Nian appeared somewhat perplexed, "I haven’t felt any."

Mu Nanqing also nodded in agreement. She hadn’t taken any action, so naturally, she hadn’t noticed any difference.

Lu Zhuoyan: "...Anyway, tens of thousands of years ago, this Array indeed caused quite a bit of trouble for the Immortal. In the end, the Immortal was besieged to near death, but Immortals are Immortals after all. In the last moments, he used his life to curse all the Demon Clan Supremes present. He cursed them never to leave the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, to be imprisoned here for all eternity. He cursed them to have clear minds but to never awaken. He cursed them to be trapped in the Mortal World forever, with no chance of pursuing the Immortal path. Following that, a giant bronze coffin descended, imprisoning them for all time."

"In that battle, a total of eight Demon Clan Supremes were involved, and these eight Supremes have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years. After the Immortal issued his curse, he, too, perished. The Immortal’s body is near that bronze coffin." Lu Zhuoyan said, "If there is a chance for becoming an Immortal, mostly, it would be related to that Immortal’s remains."

Shi Nian mused, "So, we are going to rob a corpse?"

Lu Zhuoyan’s eyebrows twitched, "That seems to be the idea. But next time, you could phrase it more tactfully."

Shi Nian’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Zhuoyan, "Uncle-Master, you seem to know everything."

Lu Zhuoyan was quite modest, "I know a little, I know a little."

"Then do you know where the Immortal’s body is?" Shi Nian couldn’t help asking.

Lu Zhuoyan fell silent for a while.

After a long while.

He said, "The Immortal is indeed dead, and those eight Supremes are indeed imprisoned. But... over the countless years, those eight Supremes have studied the curse and gained some insight. Although they cannot break the curse, they can briefly regain consciousness. The Immortal’s body has long been regarded as their property, and if you approach it, the eight Supremes, despite the great cost, will forcefully awake."

This was indeed a bit wicked for Shi Nian.

But.

Lu Zhuoyan did not believe she could stand a chance against those eight Supremes.

After all, these were the top masters of the Demon Clan.

"They can even wake up!" Shi Nian was immediately frightened, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "As a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, I’m definitely no match for such powerful beings!"

Lu Zhuoyan gave her a glance.

Qi Refinement Realm? Alright then.

"Little Nian, perhaps we should just wait for the Forbidden Land to open instead." Mu Nanqing said with some concern.

The eight Supremes, they sounded like a tough bunch to deal with.
