CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 887: OUTSIDE THE DAO CHU ANCIENT LAND

————

Central Earth Divine Continent.

As the central land of the five Great Domains of Daozhou, its territory is vast, even larger than the other four Great Domains combined.

In this vast region, there are mountains rising and falling endlessly, great rivers flowing long and far, bizarre stones and chaotic woods scattered unpredictably, vast plains stretching beyond sight, and inland oceans with powerful waves.

This land carries the weight of endless ages.

With the passage of time, seas becoming mulberry fields.

But some places remain unchanged through eternity.

For example, the Dao Chu Ancient Land, known as one of the nine Forbidden Lands of the Xuanhuang Great World and the foremost Forbidden Land of the Daozhou Continent.

This Forbidden Land is said to have vanished for ninety thousand years, only recently reappearing.

In actual fact, it never truly disappeared...

The Dao Chu Ancient Land is situated in a very special location, right at the heart of the Central Earth Divine Continent.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land is shrouded in dense fog year-round, rendering cultivators helpless to rely solely on their eyes even if they are immensely powerful when entering.

This ancient land, hidden in fog over these ninety thousand years, has actually been cloaked even more deeply in mist.

Thus cultivators cannot break through into it.

The root cause is that the top experts of the major sects have already ventured to the Heavenly Domain, entering deep slumber within the Lower Realm.

Those who come to explore the Dao Chu Ancient Land are all Saint Realm Great Powers.

These entities, although powerful, are still too naive when faced with the infamous Dao Chu Ancient Land, the foremost Forbidden Land of the Daozhou Continent.

Since none of these people could even breach the fog, the tale of the Dao Chu Ancient Land vanishing for ninety thousand years was spawned.

Now that the fog has partially lifted, allowing the Dao Chu Ancient Land to be seen, the tale of its ninety-thousand-year disappearance reappears in the world.

But regardless of these tales,

The event of the Dao Chu Ancient Land being sighted spread rapidly.

Consequently, countless powerful individuals flocked to this place, hoping to venture in and explore.

However, the fog that has dispersed somewhat still bears magical power, preventing entry.

Numerous Saint Realm Great Powers gather around the perimeter of the fog, engaging in discussions.

"The Dao Chu Ancient Land has reappeared in the world, yet remains inaccessible. What could be the situation?"

"Who knows? The fog is peculiar, to begin with, and combined with the mysterious nature of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, it isn’t easy to enter. Besides, even if someone manages to get inside, who can guarantee they’ll come out alive?"

"Then why are all of us here?" Someone asked, perplexed.

Yet this statement drew many sideways glances.

The speaker was a Saint Realm Great Power of the Loose Cultivators. Flushed with embarrassment from the stares, he retorted, "What do you mean by this?"

Nearby, an elder of the Saint Realm glanced at him and calmly said, "Every major Sacred Land’s ancient records mention that inside the Dao Chu Ancient Land lies supreme opportunities, maybe even for becoming an Emperor. It’s been validated too. Now that the Dao Chu Ancient Land has reappeared, do we really need to ask why we gather here?"

"Isn’t that just a legend?" The Loose Cultivator was astonished.

His words evoked more jeers: "A legend? Then what are you doing here at all? You might as well hurry home for a bath and bed, lest you end up dead without knowing how."

The Loose Cultivator fell silent, realizing just how short his knowledge was.

So the legend of the Dao Chu Ancient Land was actually true?

Yet, no one has managed to enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land!

The Loose Cultivator shook his head, forced to abandon his dreams.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, a sound of surprise echoed.

The Loose Cultivator of the Saint Realm looked towards the source and saw a graceful figure breaking through the void.

A peerlessly beautiful woman in white attire, as if descended from the heavens, charming and enchanting.

Some of the younger cultivators, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but marvel.

"How could such a beautiful woman exist in the world."

As she approached, those gathered noticed a small black sword mark at the center of her eyebrows, adding a touch of mystery to her.

She held a crimson Divine Sword in her grip, and on her left waist hung a Narrow Blade.

Sword in hand, blade at waist.

This was truly novel, catching everyone’s attention.

"Damn, is she going to charge straight into the Dao Chu Ancient Land?"

Some, upon realizing this, couldn’t help but swear.

"Though this girl is beautiful, her cultivation is only at the Heavenly Human Realm. Charging into the Dao Chu Ancient Land will only lead to death!"

Someone murmured.

"Hey, girl, going in there is suicide," someone shouted a warning.

However, the white-clad woman with the sword and blade seemed oblivious to the warning.

But some began to have ideas, flying over to block her path. With a smile, one said, "Fairy, ahead is the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the foremost Forbidden Land of the Central Earth Divine Continent. Rushing in recklessly will cost you your life. Why not join me, and we can enter together? What do you think?"

"That guy must be coveting that girl’s beauty; how despicable," someone expressed with disgust.

"Don’t speak recklessly; that’s Liu Cangyun, a True Disciple of Wind and Thunder Mountain," another cultivator whispered in warning.

At this, the person who had spoken with disgust stiffened, quickly closing his mouth, not daring to say more.

Wind and Thunder Mountain, a major overlord of the Central Earth Divine Continent with a transcendent status.

This individual, being a True Disciple of Wind and Thunder Mountain, held not an insignificant status either.

Even the Saint Heirs of ordinary first-rate sects must address him politely as Dao Brother upon meeting.

He was merely a True Disciple of a second-rate sect, although he possessed a chivalrous heart, he understood better than to stir up major trouble over trivial matters—an act that was truly unwise.

Reflecting on this, he naturally zipped his lips, refraining from meddling.

"Fairy, what do you say?" Liu Cangyun continued to smile at the rapidly approaching beautiful woman, putting on what he thought to be his most handsome demeanor.

As a True Disciple of Wind and Thunder Mountain, and not just any True Disciple—he held an extraordinary identity, already achieving Saint Realm cultivation at a young age.

He considered himself a prodigious talent of the Central Earth Divine Continent, naturally attracting many admirers.

Boom!

Yet, what greeted Liu Cangyun was a terrifying sword strike.

Liu Cangyun’s pupils contracted sharply, barely having time to react, as the sword already closed in on his forehead.

"Spare me!"

At a critical moment, a Great Power of Wind and Thunder Mountain intervened to stop the sword.

"Scram!"

What greeted this person was an extremely cold female voice.

Boom boom————

In an instant, both the rescuing Great Power from Wind and Thunder Mountain and the rude Liu Cangyun were sent flying, spitting blood and grievously injured.

That scene instantly froze the atmosphere on-site.

Utter silence, pin-drop quietness!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the beautiful woman who had flown into the Dao Chu Ancient Land, bewildered.

With one sword, she gravely injured both the Great Power and True Disciple Liu Cangyun of Wind and Thunder Mountain.

This is supposed to be the Heavenly Human Realm!?

Are you sure it isn’t the peak of the Saint Realm!?
