"Forbidden ground." Qin Wentian stared ahead. The desolate mountain range stretched forth endlessly. Only this place could be considered the true Darknorth Immortal Mountain by right.

Outside the boundary, many powerful experts were standing guard. One of them spoke, "The place ahead is the forbidden ground, with 100% chance of death. If you all wish to enter, you all should be responsible for your own consequences."

These people came all the way to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountains. Hence, the guards would give them the choice to choose and wouldn’t block them from entering. Naturally, let alone immortal-foundation characters, even immortal kings wouldn’t dare to venture in recklessly. The forbidden grounds were too dangerous. As guards of the dynasty, they were clearer than most how terrifying this place was.

The true law mountain range was boundlessly vast. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed but he felt some hesitation in his heart. Since this place was known as the forbidden grounds, it would naturally be extremely dangerous. He already knew this from Li Yufeng. Even immortal kings wouldn’t dare to enter this place recklessly, and even immortal emperors had no way to find out all secrets hiding within it.

"Up till today, I have explored all the mountains in the external boundary yet I didn’t gain any insight to break through at all. If this continues on, I might take ten years, or even hundred years and there’s no guarantee that I might be able to find that spark of insight. Since I came out to temper myself, I should try entering it." Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with sharpness and determination.

"Is there anyone willing to enter? You guys can try it out and cultivate at the edge of the forbidden ground. If you are met with danger, you would at least still be able to escape." Someone spoke. The eyes of everyone flashed. Those who dared to stop here are all extremely powerful geniuses. If not, they wouldn’t dare to harbor any hope at all for this forbidden grounds.

As the sound of this voice faded, many people steeled themselves. In their hearts, they also had such thoughts but they didn’t dare to make a decision. Now that they heard these words, the determination in their hearts grew more resolute. Someone then continued speaking, "Those who cultivate all know how hard it is to enter the immortal king realm. For us, we may have one foot across that gate, but there’s also a possibility that we will never be able to cross it. We should really take some risk and enter the forbidden grounds."

"That’s right. This old man has already reached my current level 1,800 years ago. I also came to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain many times but I’m still unable to break through, unable to take that last step." A skinny old man spoke. He had a conical bamboo hat on and seemed very ordinary, exuding no aura at all. However, in reality, he has been stuck at the peak of immortal-foundation for many years. During these years, his state of heart grew more and more unsteady and right now, he only had a purpose in his life. He wanted to break through.

If he couldn’t do so, it meant that he would be stuck here for the rest of his life. Hence, he needed to take a risk.

"That’s right, the forbidden grounds are full of danger but it’s also rumored that that place is filled with good fortune. There was someone in the legends who became an absolute genius after a single day, soaring up to the clouds in terms of his cultivation, becoming the true ultimate peak expert of the immortal realms." Someone spoke in a solemn voice, as though wanting to firm up the determination in everyone’s heart.

With regards to the forbidden ground, even those with great courage, they couldn’t be resolute enough. After all, this was a matter of life and death. Stellar martial cultivators sought the path of the strong but once your life was lost, everything would be turned into nothingness.

"Let’s go." Someone spoke as he stepped out, across the boundary line, entering the forbidden ground.

"Everyone, let’s go together." Someone followed soon after and after that, everyone started to move in, entering the forbidden ground.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed as he stepped forward as well, joining the others and entering the forbidden ground. For those more hesitant ones, when they saw everyone entering, they too, decided to steel their hearts and enter as well.

Beiming Nongyue, Li Yufeng and Qin Wentian could be considered ultimate geniuses at the peak among all at the immortal-foundation realm. Even without entering the forbidden ground, Qin Wentian would definitely break through to immortal king in the future. But even he chose to enter now, so what qualifications did those geniuses with lesser talent have to not take the risk and enter?

Those guards closed their eyes as though this was a very ordinary occurrence. Every time the Darknorth Immortal Mountain opens, there would be no lack of people like this. But who among them would be able to step out alive?

Having courage was commendable, but those with no strength to support this courage would only be courting their deaths.

After Qin Wentian entered the forbidden ground, he discovered that there was actually no law energy here. This place seemed to be even more desolate, cloaked in total silence.

The steps of everyone slowed, all of them were thinking that if some variable happens, they would directly retreat. But as they proceeded forward, they discovered that there seemed to be no danger at all. Hence, they continued forging forward in an incomparably cautious manner.

"The path, the path has disappeared!" At this moment, somebody trembled and called out. Many people turned to him but as they noticed the direction of his gaze, they too turned their heads and turned pale.

The path they took had completely transformed. Right now, they were in the middle of the desolate wilderness.

"What should we do?" Someone frantically asked.

Many people trembled only to hear a voice cursing out loud, "We are already here, what else can we do? Let’s just continue ahead. Our purpose is to find some good fortune that can enable us to break through to the immortal king realm. If we retreat simply because of some small things like this, what’s the point of coming here?"

This voice caused the state of hearts of many to calm down. However, a majority of them took out divine weapons. Even Qin Wentian took out the demon sword, wielding it in his hand.

"Could that be an illusion?" Everyone was pale. They could only control their fear and continued heading forward. But other than the path disappearing, there didn’t seem to be any danger in here. Their hearts gradually calmed down but the nervous atmosphere didn’t dissipate at all.

"Bzz." From afar, the sound of gusts of wind whistling could be heard. In the sky, a grey shadow appeared, moving as quick as lightning, causing others to be unable to see it clearly.

"What terrifying speed." Everyone trembled. They released their auras and at this instant, that grey shadow swooped downwards rushing at them, transforming into a fearsome beam of grey light.

"Careful!" Everyone split in all four directions. Qin Wentian’s eyes shone with a terrifying light, he discovered that the grey shadow was a type of demonic beast which he has never seen before. Its eyes were white, like that of a blind man. It radiated a sinister feeling and its speed was simply horrifying to behold. Everyone was frantically retreating. action

"Pu..."

The person who shouted out the word ’careful’ earlier was instantly torn to pieces under the onslaught of the monster’s claws. After that, the grey monster flew back up into the sky, circling around.

"Everyone, attack it together." Another voice called out. But as the sound of that person’s voice faded, that terrifying demonic beast directly lunged towards him. That expert’s expression changed drastically as he slashed out an arc of terrifying blade light. However, the grey monster ignored that attack, directly bypassing it as it ripped the head of that expert off, crushing his skull.

Everyone instantly turned and fled when they saw this. This monster was too terrifying to fight against. It could actually ignore that attack made by the expert.

After killing, that monster flew back up in the air and continued circling, like it was looking for prey. Abruptly, it moved again and one of those who were fleeing, was caught and ripped apart.

At this instant, the hearts of everyone were like dead ashes.

Forbidden grounds clearly indicated that it was forbidden for people to enter. Why did they choose to come in here? Weren’t they simply courting death?

"Why did I enter?" Many people had hearts filled with despair. But at this moment, that old man with the conical bamboo hat abruptly laid down on the ground, unmoving, while retracting his aura completely.

"Does he want to die?" Many people passed by him, not stopping at all as that monster continued hunting. It flew past the old man yet it made no moves to attack him.

Qin Wentian’s immortal sense noticed this and he immediately decided to keep his demon sword. His body moved forward, and fell onto the ground while retracting his aura completely.

"ARGH~" Another scream of pain echoed out as the monster killed off another expert again, flying past Qin Wentian.

"This monster is blind." A thought appeared in the minds of everyone. They instantly reacted and in the blink of an eye, all of them kept their weapons and retracted their auras, playing dead on the ground.

A raging wind gusted by, that demon that resembled a vulture, flew past everyone and circled the skies. After some time, it flew towards the horizons and disappeared from here.

But even so, everyone still laid on the ground, not daring to move. Only after a long time did somebody sit up. Everyone was still extremely fearful.

"Let’s leave this place as soon as possible." After speaking, he sped away in the direction where they came. Everyone then stood up and flew away as well, not daring to remain here.

They continued on their way but abruptly, a human silhouette appeared before them. This person was clad in white, he had a sword in his hands with his back facing everyone.

"Senior!" Some of the experts were filled with joy. Being able to meet someone here undoubtedly indicated that that person must have great skills in order to remain alive. It should be a supreme expert.

Just as he called out, the expert ahead turned slowly. After that, everyone felt a bone-piercing chill. The eyes of this man were bleeding, seeping with a gooey substance, appearing extremely eerie and terrifying.

"Bzz~" The speed of this expert in white was quick to the extreme, even faster than the demonic beast earlier. Slashing out with his sword, he chopped off the head of the person who spoke. Everyone drew in a cold breath, their hearts which were filled with joy all turned cold at this instant. They felt doomsday approaching.

The forbidden ground was clearly a place they weren’t supposed to be in.

Swishing sounds rang out as many silhouettes could be seen speeding over in the distance. There were human silhouettes and demon silhouettes. Their auras were extremely icy, and had the feeling of a corpse.

"They are the same as the earlier vulture monster." Qin Wentian felt chills in his heart. This place was simply a land of death!
