Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 668 - 315 Trip to the Forbidden Area_1

Meanwhile, atop a desolate and uninhabited peak deep in the Savage Wilderness mountain range, Wang Xiu stood still, looking northward.

Activating the Supreme Sensing Chapter, he saw streams of invisible energy converging from all directions between heaven and earth, like a mighty river rushing toward the far north.

At the edge of the world, all the energy seemed to be blocked by a wall. It accumulated there, unable to enter even slightly. It just kept brewing, like waves crashing against a reef, piling up thicker and thicker.

"Is that the Forbidden Land?" Watching the scene, Wang Xiu's heart surged with emotion.

Cut off from the world, it was as if it were a realm of its own. Above that area hung an aura of twilight that had accumulated for untold years, giving it the semblance of a land of the dead. The very sight was daunting.

By his calculations, it had been over thirty years since Li Xuanqi and the others entered the Forbidden Land. Wang Xiu knew that if the rumors were true, given their condition and cultivation level at the time, their chances of survival were almost nil. Thirty years had passed; their ashes had likely long since scattered.

But he still wanted to find out for sure. It wasn't for any other reason. Ultimately, Zhuo Canglang and the others had been forced to flee to the distant Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, and Li Xuanqi and her group were hunted down the moment they entered the Yaoguang Domain. The source of all this karma centered on Wang Xiu alone.

Of course, he did not regret killing the three members of the Yi Clan. However, everyone was now suffering because of him, their fates unknown. If he simply turned a blind eye, how could his mind ever be at ease? How could he pursue the boundless path to the heavens?

Alive, I must see them; dead, I must see their corpses! Wang Xiu thought, his gaze steely. If the dust settled and the outcome was the worst imaginable, then one day, he would return with the force of thunder and make the Yi Clan pay their blood debt in blood!

"I wonder how that group is faring? Have any of the important ones died?" Suddenly, he turned his head, glancing back at the sky from which he came, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Inciting war among the major powers was, naturally, his doing. Armed with the Ten Thousand Demonic Transformations Art and complemented by the Ming Emperor's Soul-Reading Technique to extract memories, Wang Xiu could strike with pinpoint precision and minimal effort. Although he never killed any major figures, his actions were always enough to enrage the great powers. After all, the major powers in the Yaoguang Domain had existed for many years. Their networks were incredibly complex and filled with countless sordid secrets better left unsaid.

After each kill, he used the Taixu Concealing Spirit Spell to cover all his tracks and aura. He had truly mastered the art of killing in plain sight and vanishing amidst the chaos. Even when the major powers used every method at their disposal, they could barely find a trace of him.

Of course, Wang Xiu did not become complacent. After all, these were powers with long histories. If any of them possessed unique secret techniques, Wang Xiu might not be able to escape unscathed from an encounter. That was why he was so meticulous every time. After successfully stirring up conflict among the major powers and confirming they were embroiled in fighting, he hadn't waited for the dust to settle but headed straight toward the Forbidden Land.

"My cultivation progress is still too slow," Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh. "Otherwise, why would I need to resort to such troublesome methods?"

If anyone else heard this, they would probably be so exasperated that they'd cough up blood. Wang Xiu had cultivated for little more than seventy years, yet he already possessed a peak Soul Travel cultivation. At the same time, one of his Divine Soul Incarnations had become a Mandated Saint, sanctified by the faith of countless members of the Human Race in the Cangyuan Realm and accumulating astonishing merit.

In the mortal world, such an age might seem long. But in the world of cultivation, it was merely the blink of an eye. Even the chosen ones of ancient families, nourished daily with heavenly treasures, would find achieving sainthood before the age of one hundred an unimaginable feat. Those who could were one in ten thousand.

Furthermore, Wang Xiu had been delayed for a full sixty-year cycle while comprehending the Origin of Zhulong. In theory, he could have achieved his current level of cultivation decades ago.

…

But it's still not enough!

Caught in the vast vortex of the Nine Heavens, even Earth Immortals, famed for their boundless lifespans, could face the calamity of death at any moment. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

My path of cultivation is different from that of ordinary people! I must complete the remaining metamorphosis of the Flawless Immortal Path as quickly as possible to further enhance my strength!

Wang Xiu calculated in his mind, his body never stopping as he slipped into the void and swiftly headed toward the Forbidden Land.

The Flawless Immortal Path consisted of three steps: Dao Body Spiritualization, All Things as One, and Body Generates Primordial Chaos. Upon completion, one could directly skip the Saint Realm, undergo Tribulation Transcendence, and enter the Earth Immortal Realm. Furthermore, an Earth Immortal forged this way would possess unparalleled combat strength and the bearing of a Great Emperor!

Wang Xiu had already accomplished the first step. His physical body was exceptionally powerful, constantly devouring the Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth to replenish and nourish his flesh and blood. It had even developed its own spiritual awareness. If Wang Xiu were to fall unconscious, his physical body could still fight on its own like an ancient giant, possessing astonishing combat capabilities.

As for the final step, Body Generates Primordial Chaos, Wang Xiu hadn't even considered it yet. However, in recent days, he had slain quite a few powerhouses of the Nine Heavens. By using the Ming Emperor's Soul-Reading Technique to search the memories of the Yi Clan Saints in particular, he had vaguely learned of some ancient secrets that provided him with new insights. His understanding of it was now gradually becoming clear.

Only the second step, All Things as One, remained, which had always puzzled Wang Xiu, eluding his comprehension.

Wang Xiu knew his foundation was more than sufficient. All he lacked was that final spark of inspiration. As long as he could take this step, he would achieve the Flawless Immortal Path. Then, even in the vast Nine Heavens, he could stand revered. Those major powers that held old grudges against Wang Xiu and the Sanqing would likely spend their days and nights in terror!

Wang Xiu's eyes gleamed brightly, agleam with sharpness as he stared at the approaching Forbidden Land. Perhaps this journey will bring me the breakthrough I need!

…

Ahead lay a peach grove. It was unclear what species these peach trees were, but each one was so tall and towering that they seemed to blot out the sky. The reality was just that. What should have been a magnificent scene was instead rendered somber as all the celestial light was blocked. This filled the air with a bone-chilling cold that sent a shiver down the spine.

"Is this... a Formation?" Wang Xiu stood at the entrance of the peach grove, his brows slightly furrowed.

After fusing with the Origin of Zhulong, he was exceedingly sensitive to fluctuations in the void. He acutely sensed that this seemingly calm peach grove actually concealed at least dozens of void passages leading to unknown destinations. Moreover, these passages were exceptionally well hidden. Even Saint Manifestation experts, who had begun to grasp the laws of heaven and earth, would struggle to detect anything amiss and could easily blunder into them.

Wang Xiu's eyes narrowed as he silently activated the Primordial Bo Tian Scripture. The Supreme Primordial Qi within his body circulated. A mystical pattern lit up on his forehead, and his Divine Soul Incarnation, Taishi the Saint, began to stir. With a raise of his hand, the Taixu Concealing Spirit Spell enveloped him, concealing all traces of his aura. The Asura Heaven Punishment Sword, which had been promoted to an Earth Immortal Instrument, hovered silently beside him.

After making all preparations, Wang Xiu took a single step into the peach grove.

The next moment, the world spun around him. The very fabric of heaven and earth seemed to shift. A surge of disorienting mist swept in from all directions, completely engulfing Wang Xiu.
